Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Ex   Chapter 164
Nathan's POV I leaned back in my chair, staring at the ceiling for what felt like forever. The quiet hum of my office did nothing to ease my mind. The past few weeks had been a rollercoaster of emotions, but for the first time, I felt something close to relief.Onika hadn’t pushed me away completely.She had asked for time.That meant she was considering everything I had told her.It wasn’t a rejection, it was hesitation. And hesitation meant there was still a chance.I picked up my phone and stared at her contact. My fingers hovered over the call button. I could call her right now. Hear her voice. Maybe even convince her that she didn’t need any more time.But I knew better.She had been through too much already. Pushing her now would only make her retreat further.I exhaled sharply and set my phone back on the desk.Patience.I needed patience.I pushed my chair back and stood, stretching out the tension in my shoulders. It had been a long time since I had allowed myself to feel ho

Onika's POV Gina's out, there's a sucide incident entangling Nathan in it, just when I wanted to decide to forgive him, this comes up and changes my mind.I didn't know what to think or believe anymore.I laid on the bed, my eyes heavy. I needed to sleep, my body demanded for it.I've been thinking too much, I needed to rest and I allowed myself to.My body and mind went to a rest as I shut my eyes, the sleep closing in.A sharp buzz from my phone startled me awake.I groggily reached for it, my heart pounding slightly from the abrupt awakening. I blinked a few times, adjusting to the dim glow of my screen.Nathan’s name was on the notification.I hesitated before unlocking my phone. The last time we spoke, I had told him I needed time. I wasn’t sure if I was ready to hear from him again so soon.Still, my curiosity got the better of me, and I tapped on the message.Nathan: Onika, I need to tell you something. Kent was the one who stole the artwork from your gallery.My body went com

Onika's POV I sat in silence, staring at the screen in front of me. The name glared back at me like a warning sign, something I had overlooked for far too long.Kent’s real last name wasn’t what I thought it was.It was something else.Something that tied everything together.My stomach twisted. My breath came out in short, uneven puffs as my fingers curled tightly around the edge of Matteo’s desk."Onika?" Laura’s voice was hesitant, her hand resting on my shoulder.I swallowed hard, still unable to tear my eyes away from the screen.Kent’s last name before he changed it matched the name on the death certificate from the anonymous package I received.His sister.The woman who allegedly killed herself because of Nathan.It all made sense now.He had a personal vendetta.Laura leaned over, her eyes scanning the screen as realization dawned on her face."Wait," she muttered, piecing everything together. "Kent’s last name used to be Harrow? As in... the same last name as the woman from

Onika's POV I paced about, gripping my phone so tightly my knuckles turned white. Nathan’s name stared back at me from the screen, the call button just a tap away.But I couldn’t bring myself to press it.My thumb hovered, frozen in place.I didn’t want to call him.I had promised myself I would stay away, I wanted to stay away till I made a decision, till I found out the truth.But now…I sighed, rubbing my forehead.I couldn’t deny it he was the only one who could help me.Nathan had resources, people, ways to dig into things I could never access on my own. If I wanted answers, if I really wanted to uncover the truth, I needed him.But calling him meant opening a door I wasn’t sure I could close again.I bit my lip, staring at the screen like it would make the decision for me.What if he didn’t pick up?Worse what if he did?I could already hear his voice in my head, calm and steady. I could already see the way he’d look at me, the way his eyes always searched mine like he could re

Onika's POV I sat on the couch in Nathan’s living room, gripping the hem of my shirt as I tried to gather my thoughts. The soft glow of the lamp cast flickering shadows against the walls, making the space feel both intimate and suffocating at the same time.Nathan stood near the fireplace, his phone in hand as he finished a call. His injuries were still visible bruises on his knuckles, a faint cut on his temple but he had insisted he was fine.I wasn’t sure if I believed him.More than that, I wasn’t sure if I believed myself.I had made the decision.I was going back to New York.With him.Nathan hung up and turned to me, his gaze sharp yet unreadable. "I have things settled. We can leave tomorrow morning."I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Okay."He studied me for a moment. "Are you sure about this?"I hesitated. Not because I wasn’t sure, but because saying it out loud made it real.I met his eyes. "Yes. I need to face this. Running won’t change anything."Something fli

Onika's POV A sharp, searing pain tore through my skull. It was the first thing I felt before the world around me even came into focus.I groaned, my entire body aching as I struggled to open my eyes. The throbbing in my head was relentless, each pulse sending waves of nausea through me. It felt like someone had taken a hammer to my skull. My mouth was dry, my throat raw, and a bitter taste lingered on my tongue.Slowly, the darkness gave way to hazy vision. The room around me was dim, illuminated by a single, flickering bulb hanging from the ceiling. The walls were made of cold, cracked concrete, stained with something dark and unidentifiable. A damp, musky scent filled the air, mixed with something metallic blood.I tried to move, but my arms were numb, my wrists bound tightly behind me. A dull ache throbbed where the ropes bit into my skin. I shifted my legs, only to realize my ankles were tied as well.Panic spiked through my chest.Where the hell was I?I forced myself to take d

Onika's POV My heart pounded against my ribs as Gina stepped into the dimly lit room. She walked with the confidence of someone who had already won, her heels clicking against the cold concrete floor.Kent kept his gun trained on me, but I could see the hesitation flicker across his face.Gina’s lips curled into a smirk. "Kent, dear, what exactly are you doing?"Kent didn’t lower the gun, but his grip wasn’t as firm as before. "Stay out of this, Gina.""Stay out of it?" she mocked, crossing her arms. "Oh, darling, I am this."So Kent and Gina had been working together all this time, he managed to fool me into thinking he wated the best for me but I guess I was wrong like I always was.I swallowed hard, my pulse racing. This was my only chance."Kent," I said, my voice urgent. "Listen to me."He glanced at me, his expression unreadable.I took a shaky breath. "I have proof. In my bag."Gina’s gaze sharpened. "She’s lying."Kent hesitated."Look," I insisted. "If I’m lying, then you ca

Onika's POV Kent lay motionless in a pool of blood on the cold concrete floor. I stared in horror, my breath coming in sharp gasps as the metallic scent of blood filled my nostrils. My body trembled as I pressed myself against the wall, my mind screaming at me to run, to fight, to do something.But Gina stood between me and the door, her presence a dark force that made the room feel smaller, suffocating.She was watching me. Amused."You look horrified, Onika," she mused, her voice light, almost playful. "But this is just the beginning."My chest heaved. "Why are you doing this?" My voice was barely above a whisper, my throat tight with fear.Gina tilted her head, studying me like a predator assessing its prey. Then, slowly, her lips curled into a smirk."Because, darling," she said, stepping forward. "I'm going to destroy your life."I flinched at her words.She enjoyed this.She wanted to see me suffer."You took something from me," she continued, circling me like a vulture. "So I

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 wouldn’t 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.“What the hell?” 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.Gina’s furious gaze snapped toward me, and for a split second, I saw something else beneath her anger, panic. She hadn’t 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.“Just wait, Oni
