Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Ex   Chapter 147
Onika's POV I have to find those pieces, without them this exhibit will be a disaster.A few days to the exhibition and strangely almost all my art works disappeared, what's an exhibition without its artwork. I paced around my office, thinking about the next move to make, I couldn't possibly get artist to make new ones in such short time, that wasn't possible even if you get the best artist which I don't think I can."Fuck, fuck, fuck," I cursed as I slammed my hands on the table.My headache was terrible it was as though my head had a beat. I picked up my phone and dialed a number."Amara, have you checked the camera footage?" I asked as I tapped my fingers on the table."Yes ma'am, they're analyzing it now," she replied.She rarely calls me ma'am, when she does there was trouble or some serious work."Analyze it fast and send it to me," I ordered before hanging.My belly growled at that point, I hadn't eaten anything since I came in here."I don't have time for this," I mumbled i

Onika's POV I picked up the water bottle beside me and slurped it down.I picked up the phone and called Amara again."Amara, I need to see his face, get the best analyst and find out who he is, I don't care how long it would take," I ordered feeling determined to get to the root of this case."Yes ma'am, I was about to call you, we found pictures of one of the paintings online," she said."What!" I exclaimed, surprised at the words she said."It was one of the influencers, she bought it from some guy," Amara replied."What are you doing about this?" I asked."I've sent some people to her to find out who she got the pieces from and thankfully she's responding well," Amara replied.Relief washed over me, if we find the man who sold it to her we would find the culprit and the paintings. I will think of a way to compensate ger later.Maybe things weren't over yet.I tapped my fingers on the desk impatiently, my mind racing. I had to stay calm, but it was impossible. Someone had stolen m

Nathan's POV I leaned back in my chair, staring at the ceiling as frustration settled deep in my chest. The numbers on the reports in front of me had blurred together hours ago, but I hadnât stopped pretending to work, I stared blankly on the papers my attention far away.My mind had been stuck on her.Onika.Seeing her at the airport had done something to me, something that I didnât want to acknowledge. She had always been stubborn, fiery, impossible to predict. And now she was back, standing in front of me after all these while, looking at me with those damn eyes that I couldnât get out of my head.She hadnât changed.Not really.The way she held herself, the way she spoke, the way she challenged me without saying a word, it was the same as before. But there was something else, too. Something different. A heaviness in her gaze, a quiet kind of pain that hadnât been there before.I hated that I noticed it.She looked quite different from before, she was chubbier. Like she gained s

Nathan's POV I paced around the office waiting for any news at all, have they caught him,? Have they found the pieces?All this questions couldn't let me concentrate, someone tried to squash her dreams and I must find out who and why.I picked up my phone to make a call to my mother, she's also a suspect to this, she had never liked Onika for a second, maybe she was angry that she's back.No matter the reason, if I find out that she's the one behind all of these, I will make her pay.I dialed her number, it rang for a while before she picked up the phone."Hello son," she said, her voice sophisticated as usual."Hey mom," I replied angry brewing in my voice."What is the reason for you call today? Or have you decided to leave that wretched thing of a girl and follow my decision," she said her voice dripping with spite and malice."She's not wretched, don't ever call her that and no I am never going to follow such stupid decisions of yours," I replied.She paused for a minute, my word

ONIKA'S POV My heels clicked against the marble floor as I walked into the gallery the next day, my chin raised as I sauntered straight to the room where my paintings were being kept. Amara was already there, her hands crossed around her body and her face set in deep thoughts before she heard the door open at my arrival and she looked up at me, a smile spreading her lips as she looked relieved. âGood morning ma'amâ I paused in my tracks, my lips slightly parting as I looked at the paintings back in their places. âHow the hell did these get back?â I asked, taking off my sunglasses. She looked at it again, the edges of the painting frame glinting in the dim light of the room. âI have no idea. Dean called me this morning and told me he had found the paintings in front of the gallery this morning during his routine morning check. It wasn't there when he had passed it earlier but then it was there when he came around for the second timeâI bit my lip in confusion, resisting the urge to

ONIKA'S POV I rolled in bed, careful not to put pressure on my belly as I tried to drown out the persistent sound of my alarm going off.âDoes this thing never shut up?â I groaned, my voice muffled by my pillow as I fought the urge to grab the alarm clock and smash it to bits.This was supposed to be my day off. Why couldn't it start with something good?I groaned and sat up, trying to let my eyes adjust to the light streaming in from the curtains.âFuckâ I muttered, swinging my legs off the bed so I could wear my slippers that were just a few feet away from the bed.After what felt like a minute of shuffling, I finally got my legs in and I stood up on wobbly legs, the memories from last night rushing into my brain with a maelstrom of emotions coursing through my veins with the thoughts of what Nathan had said.He had been extremely polite and not even trying to push his boundaries yesterday and that was something that threw me off balance because I was waiting for him to do somethin

Onika's POV My hands trembled as I read the headline again, my heart slamming against my chest like it was trying to break free."Miss Onika caught in another controversial relationship? Months after failed marriage, could she have gotten a new beau?"No. No. No.This wasnât happening.Not again.My breath came out uneven as I scrolled through the article, my fingers feeling numb. They had taken the worst possible picture of me and twisted the narrative. The comments were already flooding in speculation, judgment, criticism.My vision blurred.How could this be happening again?"Onika! Talk to me!" Lauraâs voice rang in my ears, pulling me back.I looked up at the screen, her face a mix of concern and frustration. "Laura⊠I canât stay here. I have to leave."Her brows furrowed. "What? No! This is just the media being the media. It'll blow over."I shook my head furiously, shoving my phone into my pocket as I stood up so fast that the stool nearly toppled over."You donât get it," I s

Nathan's POV "What's are you waiting for Onika, it's almost 7 pm you would be late for our dinner" I said to Onika, it was almost 7pm and she wasn't ready yet. "I'm coming she said walking down the stairs making me open my mouth in awe" she was wearing a long white flowing gown it was armless. Though her dressing was simple she still looked really elegant and beautiful in it. I felt so happy that she was going to belong to me soon, she's going to be my wife, my partner and the mother to all my children and I'm going to make everyday of her life a beautiful fairytale. "If you keep staring like that then I'm not sure we would be able to get to our destination before 7" she said teasing me. "It's not my fault, I just can't help but stare at the beautiful angel in my front. You look so beautiful honey" I said pecking her cheeks. Holding her hand we walked to where our car was parked entering it we went to our destination. As we arrived at the Cable Beach, Onika's eyes widened in aw

Onika's POV Nathan still wouldn't tell me where he was taking me to he kept insisting that he was a surprise and that I should just be patient and see what was going to happen. "Are you sure you don't want to tell me were we are going Nathan?" I asked for the hundredth time while on the flight. "Just be patient Onika, you would know when you get there" he said with a smile on his face. As the plane touched down, I couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement. Nathan still hadn't revealed our destination, but the warm tropical air and palm trees visible from the plane window hinted at a paradise. We collected our luggage and made our way to the taxi stand, where Nathan finally revealed our destination: Nassau, the capital city of the Bahamas.The taxi ride to our resort was a blur of colorful buildings, lively music, and the sound of waves crashing against the shore. As we checked into our luxurious beachfront villa, I couldn't wait to start exploring. Nathan handed me a tropical fl

Nathan's POV I couldn't stop myself from laughing when they both looked at me as if they had heard something bad. "I'm just joking no need to be so serious about it" I said making Laura laugh also."Well I was already planning the way you were going to carry the next baby," Onika said looking at me mischievously. "Com'on ladies can we go and do what we came here for, we need to check the wedding dress fitting for Onika today." I said they both needed. Soon the designer called Onika to come over to try her out her wedding dress. Onika came out of the dressing room looking like an angel the long white dress fitted her perfectly. It was an off shoulder fitted dress with a cape around the waist. I could help but open my mouth agape in shock. "The dress looked perfect on you" I complimented her and she blushed shyly. She change to her old dress while the receptionist packed the wedding dress into a shopping bag. "So my Onika is finally going to have her happy ending and even her dre

Onika's POV It was already time for me to be discharged from the hospital. Nathan has been very happy since the birth of our child, he has always been around, he even went as far as learning how change diapers saying he wanted to act like a normal father and not a billionaire. This act makes my heart melt in love and happiness. My Nathan was no longer the proud and arrogant father, he was now a loving and doting father. "Lucas get the car ready, we need to get going now" Nathan said to his assistant as he carried Daniel in his arms. We finally decided to name our child after Nathan father. Daniel it was such a nice name. Nathan mother was very happy and touched when she heard the name we gave to our child. "Your dad will be so proud and happy when ever he is" she said with a smile on her face. We need to get going now Onika Laura said with a smile on her face. We walked out of the hospital only to be met by the media outside. "Congratulations Miss Onika on giving birth to your

Onika gives birth Nathan's POV Four months later. "Com'on Onika can't you be any faster we need to go shop for child's clothing" I called out from downstairs. I've been waiting for her to get ready for over an hour now. She's already in her due month and she could give birth anytime in this month. We were able to find out the child's gender even though we didn't mean to. Onika's was feeling really skin and we had to do a scan on her that was how we found out about our child's gender. We even did our child's gender reveal party a week ago, everyone was happy especially my mom and her best friend Laura. "Will come and drive me to the boutique or will you keep on day dreaming about God knows what." Onika said smiling looking a bit irritated. She is easily irritated by things these days, I asked my mom about it she said it's because of her pregnancy. I could only nod in confusion not understanding pregnant women and there mood swings.As we arrived at the boutique, Onika's irrita

Onika's POV Nathan mother was standing at the door smiling sheepishly at me, I thought I was dreaming until she spoke up "can I come in?" She asked. I could only nod my head walking back inside as she followed me quietly. "Who's that babe?" Nathan asked while serving the dish on the table."Nathan" his mother called from the living. Making Nathan look up in shock, it was obvious that he had no idea that his mother was coming. "What are you doing here mum?" He asked his face looking stern. "Can't I come to see my son and my future daughter in-law" she said making both of us look up in shock. She walked over to the dinning table sitting on down to have breakfast with us, "will you keep on standing or will you both join in for breakfast" she said serving food into her plate. As we sat down at the table, the tension was palpable. Nathan's eyes were narrowed, and his jaw was clenched. I could tell he was still upset with his mother.Willow, on the other hand, seemed determined to ma

Onika's POV "Let's leave this place" I said to Nathan feeling nauseous after see so much blood. I still can't believe that Gina killed herself just like that. Even though she made my life a living hell from the beginning, I was still willing to forgive her but she ended her own life just to escape prison. I feel like I'm the one to blame for this. Nathan held my hand in a comforting manner "it's not your fault Onika she brought it upon herself" he said leading me out of the hospital. Nathan drove us back to the house in silence, he seems to be contemplating on what to say. "How are you feeling now?" I asked smiling a bit. "I'm okay, I just had bruises on my stomach and my head" he said making me look up at the bandage on his head. It was already turning red now. It seems his wound has reopened. I made a mental note to myself to change it when we get home. As we arrived home, Nathan seemed to be struggling to keep his balance. He was weak and pale, and I could tell that he was in

Nathan's POV I opened my eyes slightly looking around to see the doctors and nurses walking around my room carrying trays with some medical stuffs on them. "Doctor, Mr Nathan has regained consciousness" one of the nurses said calling the attention of the doctor. He came closer to me checking my vitals and injures to see how I was doing, "thank goodness mr McAllison you woke up sooner than we expected. Do you know where you are or do you recall anything?" He asked. "Calm down doctor I haven't lost my memory yet" I replied him jokingly looking around the room in search for onika. "Any problem Mr McAllison?" He asked when he noticed me looking around confused. "Where is onika, doctor?" I asked him as he looked at me confused. "The police contacted Miss onika when you got an accident but she is yet to come Mr Nathan" the doctor said. "What that can only mean that something bad had happened to onika, call my assistant for me" I said feeling really anxious. "Sir, you are awake, are

Onika's POV I braced myself for death.Tears streamed down my face as I waited for the gunshot that would end my life. My chest tightened, my breaths coming in shallow gasps. My child... they wouldnât get to see the world, to take their first breath, to feel my love.It was heartbreaking.I squeezed my eyes shut.But the bullet never came.âWhat the hell?â Gina's voice dripped with rage.My eyelids fluttered open, and through my blurry vision, I saw her shaking the gun, pulling the trigger repeatedly. Nothing happened.The gun was empty.A dry laugh escaped my lips before I could stop it.Ginaâs furious gaze snapped toward me, and for a split second, I saw something else beneath her anger, panic. She hadnât expected this.Her face twisted, and before I could react, she struck me hard across the face.Pain exploded in my skull, my head snapping to the side. Blood filled my mouth, the sharp metallic taste making me gag. I gasped, blinking through the ringing in my ears.âJust wait, Oni
