Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Ex   Chapter 35
REGINA'S POV A few minutes ago, when I had arrived at the bitch’s place of work, I had run into a huge handsome man at the door, his face set into a deep scowl when he saw me. “Can I help you?” He had asked, his eyebrow raised while he looked me over like I was something dirty. “Yes,” I said haughtily. “Who are you?” I eyed him. “The person who's gonna be throwing you out if you don't state who you are and why you're here,” he said coldly. I wanted to retort with something witty but the look on his face made me know that he meant business and he would throw me out if I tried any jokes on him. What an insult. “My name is Regina, and I'm here to see your boss.” I managed to get my words out as calmly as possible, my heels tapping against the floor as I waited impatiently for him to say something. “I'm gonna need something to confirm your identity,” he suddenly said, and I almost lost it on the spot. “Don’t you know the name Regina?” I asked in disbelief at the sheer audacity of

ONIKA'S POV It was nearly afternoon and I relaxed in my office, biting down on the end of my ballpoint pen.Mr Sam has yet to reach out to me again, but I guessed that it would be a while before he did that; he probably got a whole lot of emails every day, so he wouldn't have the time to go through them immediately.It could even take weeks before he replied but I was honestly fine with it like that.At least he would reply. I desperately needed the funding for that project, I needed to get it finished by summer.There was a knock on my door and Damien poked his head in again, the same expression still on his face. “You have a visitor”My eyes felt heavy, and I felt tired, so I was almost tempted to tell him to tell the person to leave, but then I decided to at least know who I was sending away.“Who's the person?” I inquired.“Someone called Laura” he huffed.He had checked her ID already so it had to be her. What was she doing here?“Let her in” I sat up in my chair.He closed the

ONIKA'S POVI was dizzy with excitement and nervousness. I didn't know what to expect from this but I knew I couldn't blow it up or I'd end up losing the one person who could impact my project immensely.I had immediately informed the staff in my office that we would be having a very important guest and I had pleaded with Laura to wait for me if she could.She had just told me to focus on my work first and she didn't mind the waiting.With that settled, I walked back into my office, my palms sweaty as I sat back on my table, my gaze fixed on the laptop screen in front of me yet my mind couldn't stop going back to the fact that I had managed to bag a meeting with Mr Sam Damon.Damien was still standing at my door but I had informed him that I would run late at the office because the meeting would probably take some time. I had calculated everything, he would ask some questions and If I flopped, he wouldn't want to invest in my company's project so that explained why I was a total mess

ONIKA'S POVMy heart was pounding as I still gripped Mr Sam Damon's hand tightly in mine.After a short while, he retracted his hand, a soft look still on his face. “My son is a huge fan of your work. Perhaps he could drop by sometime?” He asked uncertainly. “It's fine if you don't want to, I told him I'd ask because he's been bothering me for what feels to be eternity” he quickly said, ending it with a light chuckle.Would I be willing to see his son and show him around my works personally? Hell yeah.“Of course, let my secretary know when he'll want to drop by and I'll make time for him. Thank you for this opportunity to work with you, Mr Sam Damon”He chuckled and nodded. “The pleasure is all mine, miss Orion” he said.I nodded to Amara who understood what I meant I was trying to say to her by that gesture. “The documents will be sent to you in an hour” she quickly said, coming to stand beside me.“Oh, of course, I'll go over everything as soon as it's sent. Now..” he clapped and l

ONIKA'S POV“Seriously?” I called out as soon as I entered the house that night, my eyes wide as it landed on Nathan who was sitting on the couch, a cup on a saucer in his hand as he looked up at me.“You're quite late” he muttered, looking at me silently.I scoffed at his words and went to sit, kicking my shoes off. “Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Mr McAlison. Since when did you start to control when I came home?” U spat out.He raised a brow and looked down at his cup. “Mr McAlison?” He asked, his tone low.“Yes! That's not even the point!” I glared at him. “That's not what I meant and you know it. Let's just get this straight, you don't get to tell me when to come home”He seemed to be brooding over something, his finger lightly tapping the rim of the cup, his gaze fixed on it before he finally spoke. “If you didn't want to come home. You could have just let Damien know”That elicited a laugh from me and I ran a hand through my hair. “Seriously? Have you seen that man?! I'm not

NATHAN'S POVOne moment, I had been so sure that she would say yes, that was what we had agreed on. I had firstly thought that we would just go for the court wedding to sign the papers to make it official but being the fool that I was, I had decided to up things a notch so I had spent quite a lot on this ring just to impress her but clearly she had other plans as the next moment, she had said no like there was no need to even think about it was I was truly baffled by her words.“What?” The question spilled from my lips before I could even fathom what was even happening.She shrugged and cast me a second glance before she looked back down at the empty album. “You heard me, Mr McAlison. I said no”There it was again. That “Mr McAlison” that seemed to always get on my nerves anytime she happened to say it which happened to be a lot tonight.My left eye twitched and I gripped the box tighter in my hands, trying to ignore the ache in my chest. “I don't get it” I croaked, looking back at he

ONIKA'S POVThe look on his face was priceless and I secretly marveled at how easily I had changed his mood severally in an hour.Starting from the defeat on his face downstairs to the smile on his face when he came upstairs then cocky look on his face as he proposed to the confusion when I said no and now the shock and anger warring in his face.“Deal?” I asked to be sure, wondering how he expected to do it.He shut his eyes, his lips pressed into a thin line. “Yes” he gritted out.I smiled at him, folding my hands. “You can now leave the room. Two days” I reminded but this time he didn't bother to answer me about that, he simply muttered a good night and stalked out of the room, his steps filled with determination.As soon as he left the room, I let out a deep breath that I didn't know I was holding before. That was one thing out of the way now. The question was that “would he do it?” His mum would rather die than do that but either way, I wouldn't care what she said. If she wanted

NATHAN'S POV“Drive fast. I need to be at the office in an hour” I grumbled to my driver, not really feeling in the mood to drive myself today.Everything has been going shitty but the worst of all was my mum's reaction when I had told her that she had to apologize to Onika. I hadn't even gotten to explain to her before she went ballistic and said she would never apologize to Onika and then she called her names that were far from appropriate.She had not let me say another word before she cut the call so I had to call her back again. She had accepted at last and I promised to see her after work. She would have to do it, I couldn't afford to risk Onika getting angry over this and I could understand Onika's anger, she has always endured my mum's words in the past since she didn't want to anger me but now, there was nothing left to lose so she refused to be insulted by my mum again and now, I was caught in the crossfire because I couldn't put a leash on my mum around her.Fuck, I was rea

NATHAN'S POVI felt like a shell of myself the next day as I sat in my office.Believe me when I said I had tried to get some sleep but that was a luxury that I apparently couldn't afford because I had spent the night tossing and turning, my mind going haywire with thoughts. How was it possible that she hadn't checked into the hotel? I had gotten them to go to the nearby hotels but there was no trace of her. There was no way that she could have slept on the streets.Dread filled my veins and I felt true fear the previous night. I didn't believe that I could be this worried over someone but this was fucking Onika! Of course I would be worried about her! I fucking cared about her and now it felt like a part of me has been violently ripped out, leaving me without a vital piece of my life.I had spent the entire night waiting for a call—any damn call—from the people I had stationed in Barcelona, but my phone had remained frustratingly silent. Not a single update. Not from the men I sent t

NATHAN'S POVI pinched the bridge of my nose, sighing heavily, feeling my head ache as I paced across my study. The room was dim and it was dark outside already. I had a long day tomorrow, I had one more day to my wedding but my wife was still missing. Gods.I hit the dial button again, the phone ringing in my ear."Talk," I ordered the moment the call connected.A gruff voice responded on the other end. "We’re still looking, sir. One of our men is sweeping the northern districts, while the other is covering the downtown area."I halted mid-step, my brain short circuiting. "What?""He insisted that splitting up would be more efficient. Said there were too many areas to cover—""Goddammit," I muttered under my breath, gripping the phone tighter. "I gave a direct fucking order, and they’re already doing whatever they want?"The man hesitated. "I told him it’d be best to stick together, but—""Then why didn’t you stop him?" My voice was dangerously low now, my patience thinning fast."He

ONIKA'S POVI drew my hoodie harder over my head, staring at the phone in my hands.The shop keeper kept telling me the details about the phone but that wasn't what I needed to hear, I just wanted him to tell me the fucking price so I could leave this place and go find a place to stay.Apparently getting houses at such short notice in this place was near impossible and I would have to go to the elite part of town because they would have more reservations. I had the money, I just needed to get this phone so I could head next to the hotel.Maybe I could ask this man for help on which hotel I could pick but the way he kept blabbing, urging me to buy the phone and bringing new suggestion had begun to piss me off not to mention that he was constantly cutting me off before he would pull out a better phone, eager that I buy a more expensive one.I couldn't blame him, I probably gave off the air of someone who could afford all these.With a sigh, I tugged my hoodie lower, gripping the phone i

NATHAN'S POVI nodded at my assistant, giving her a slight wave of the hand before muttering. “Let her in”I had successfully kept my mum out because I knew what she was going to say but I really did hope that Regina wasn't here for something like that or I'd have to kick her out.I barely looked up when Regina walked in, but I caught the way she shot my assistant a sharp glare before plastering on a fake smile as soon as she walked in."That’ll be all, dear," she said sweetly, but I could tell she was pissed off that she had been kept waiting for about 5 minutes. Patience was just not one of her values. Even seeing her now as she had the guts to waltz in, made me sick to my guts when I remembered what she did.Regina turned to me, her smile widening. "Nathan."I leaned back in my chair. "Regina."She strode forward, sitting in the chair opposite me. She crossed her legs, dropping her small purse on my table, my eyes narrowing at the movement but I shut up about it unwilling to say an

NATHAN’S POVI gripped my phone so tightly it nearly cracked. My knuckles were white, my patience nonexistent as I walked back into my office."Barcelona," I muttered, rubbing my temples. Onika was in fucking Barcelona.Seriously? Once more, I found myself complimenting her despite my shitty situation because damn, she was smart.Who would ever think to go look in Barcelona? It was such an unlikely choice for her so I could understand why she chose it but the problem was I didn't know where in Barcelona and I had been sitting here for a few minutes, contemplating if I should go straight into action or just make sure I was right first of all. Make sure she was actually in Barcelona.I thought about the flight line that Mr Sam Damon had supplied to me when I had asked what flight she had flown so that I could keep a track on her so I'd know what time the plane took off to time when she would be back. Big fat lie.I forced myself to take a deep breath before dialing the airport. It rang

AUTHOR'S POV Regina leaned back against the chair, her eyes shut close as she hummed to herself.She immediately sat up as Willow came into the room.“Are you okay? You look tense” Gina pointed out, her face contorted into one of mock concern.Willow collapsed on a nearby chair, burying her face in her hands. “I'm not fine, Gina. That bitch has ruined everything for my son” She lamented.Gina smiled to herself, this was going exactly as she wanted it to but she couldn't let Willow know that right now, even though they were practically partners in crime at this point, Gina knew that telling Willow about her plans would only lead to more questions which she couldn't answer right now because as usual, it would mean exposing herself.Who would have thought that it'd be this easy to trick everyone in the city by spreading a bit of fake but not so fake news. She wasn't wrong about one thing in that article but she would rather die than tell that to anyone.“Oh, Nathan can at least see her

NATHAN'S POV“What do you mean she's not home?!” I yelled into the phone, my other hand running through my hair.Damien who was beside me looked just as panic stricken but he didn't show it, he was still as cool as ever but how I could be calm when Onika had suddenly disappeared. I didn't even know if she was safe and that was what truly bothered me.Was this what she was planning? That night…. Is this what she was thinking about? She was fucking smart and I would give her that. She had all of us fooled but I knew I couldn't blame her if she had actually chosen to run away. The pressure right now was too much on her but for her to not tell Laura? Damn, she was serious about this one.Laura could be in on it but as I saw her back into the store, tears pricking at her eyes as she looked at me with hope which quickly deflated when I shook my head, I knew she wasn't in on it. She looked just as struck on me.With a strangled sob, she leaned back against the wall, sliding down to the floor

ONIKA’S POV"This is insane." I muttered to myself, pulling my hoodie lower over my head as I walked through the busy airport terminal. If Paranoia was a person, it would be me right now. My heart was hammering in my chest and beads of perspiration rolled down my forehead as I pulled my hoodie lower to obscure my face more.I had done it. I had actually done it.No goodbye. No explanations. Not even to Laura. That was one thing I was yet to come to terms with yet because that was so wrong but I knew what would happen if I had told her that. She would be the logical one and tell me not to leave, she would be the one that tells me to stay and something in me told me that if she urged me to stay, I would so that's what I didn't tell her. She would be worried sick. And Nathan…I swallowed, shaking my head as I moved toward the departure gates. Nathan would be livid. But I couldn’t let that stop me. Not when I was one step away from doing what I wanted right now.I had to disappear.For go

NATHAN’S POV"Mr Nathan, this is madness."I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. Across the desk, Richard Foster, one of the event planners I had hired, was staring at me like I had just suggested we hold the wedding in a burning building. Why was everyone so worked up about my wedding?"It’s a wedding, not a business merger," he continued, tapping a pen against his notepad that was resting on the table. "You’re giving me less than two days to finalize everything. The media frenzy alone is making it impossible to secure vendors without doubling the cost, and half of them are hesitant because of the recent scandal and the fact that they won't want to be caught up—""Then offer them triple," I cut in flatly, arching a brow so I could look at him.Richard’s eyes widened. "Triple? Nathan, that’s not how negotiations work—""That’s exactly how negotiations work," I shot back. "You find their price, then you make it impossible for them to say no. That’s Business logics, Richard. I sugge
