Contract Marriage With My Ex's Boss eight
Hailey's POV It's been two weeks since I met the stranger again - Well, not just any stranger, but Levi King - and I can't seem to wrap my head around the fact that I'm pregnant with his child, after a reckless one-night stand. He gave me his contact card and number, but I still can't bring myself to call him. It's not that I'm desperate. I don't even need his money or anything, I just want him to know that he's about to become a father, and I also want my child to know her father. That brings me to why I’ve been staring at the message icon on my phone for the last few minutes, too nervous to type a single word. "If you won't text him, then I will," Matt says, snatching my phone out of my hand. I told him bits of the story when he wouldn’t stop pestering me after my conversation with Levi two weeks ago. I didn’t want to burden him with the details, but Matt’s persistent, and I guess it felt good to talk to someone. I can't bring myself to take my phone back. He might a

Levi's POV "You're the father of the child I'm carrying," Hailey says. A loud ringing fills my ears. I barely register her words at first. Me? A father? How's that even possible? I'm not impotent, but I could swear I was careful. The events of that night rush back to me like a flood. "Oh God," she moaned, digging her fingers into my shoulders, urging me to go faster. I increased the pace of my thrusts, gripping her body firmly until she finally came undone all over my cock. Shortly after, I felt my own release build. "I'm coming soon babydoll," I told her. I started to pull out, but she stopped me, guiding me back into her. She looked so sexy doing that. "I'm on birth control," she'd assured me. I hesitated, but the look in her eyes convinced me. I thrust into her again, deep and hard, until I spilled inside her. I'm not even in the mind to get turned on by the memory, too pissed at our carelessness. "You said you were on birth control," I point out, my v

Levi's POV The loud buzz of the club's speaker vibrates through me as I sit at the bar, drinking my third shot of vodka. After enduring five more gruesome hours in the office after Hailey left, I came to the club to drown my frustration. Hailey's tear-streaked face keeps appearing in my mind's eye, and a pang of guilt follows after. A warm hand lands on my shoulder, running down my arm and interrupting my thoughts. I'm immediately grateful for the relief. Then, I feel the warm breath on my neck, making my hair stand. A slurring, breathy voice follows. "I noticed you sitting over here for a while now. Would you like some company?" I'm not that drunk to misunderstand her intentions, but I nod anyway, pulling the stool by my side closer. I tap on it, inviting her to sit down. I know she probably wants us to leave the club together, but I'm not in the mood for that. Not today. And if I don't find a way to make things right with Hailey, I'm not sure I'll ever be in the mo

Hailey's POV I lean over the counter to order another martini for Matt, since he's too drunk to do it himself. 'Martini for Matt.' Kinda rhymes. When I met him for late lunch with my swollen eyes, he made me narrate everything that happened to him. Then he comforted me for a while and proposed that we go out drinking. I can't be drinking because of my condition, so he offered to drink two times the amount that he usually would. We have to go to work tomorrow, but he didn't mind. He said he was doing it for me, but I'm sure he's just looking for an excuse to get wasted on a weekday. When he said he was going to take us to a club, my first thought was the one where I met the assaulter because it's one of the most popular clubs around. But luckily, he took me to another one. I don't think I'd be able to go anywhere near that place again. Moreso because I totally embarrassed myself in front of the bartender. "Hey," I call out to the bartender, but he barely acknowled

Hailey's POV For the third time this week, I find myself seated in Levi's office, my fingers twisting together as I stare out the large window. The city stretches beyond the glass, with cars weaving through traffic, and pedestrians moving along the sidewalks. Levi had asked me to come here because the results of the DNA test are ready. We took the test three days ago - just like we agreed - and now, in just two days, we've gotten an answer. He went to pick the results himself but insisted that I wait for him here. I exhale slowly, rubbing my thumb and forefinger together, my body racking with nerves. 'What will the results say?'I am confident that the child is Levi's. But with the way everything went so fast, I'm also afraid that the result might not be accurate. What if it's accurate, but the child isn't Levi's?I squeeze my eyes shut. I can't think like that. If the child turns out to be Jake's - which I'm sure it isn't - I don't know what I would do. No. I wouldn't need to

Hailey's POV Every time I ask that "what could possibly go wrong?" question, the universe shows me a shit ton of things that could. "What?!" I shout into the phone, my frustration burning hot. I don't know why I keep agreeing to him, even when he keeps screwing things up. 'Why do I keep doing this to myself?' "The marriage wasn't fake, Hailey," he says, exasperation dripping from his tone. But I don't give a flying fuck about how frustrated he is right now. He caused it. "My lawyer messed up the deal. Instead of us signing a fake agreement, we actually got legally married by contract," he hesitates, like he's preparing himself to deliver more bad news. "For one year." 'Ah ha. I knew there had to be more.' On Monday, we met at Levi's attorney's office to sign what was supposed to be a fake marriage contract, because Levi insisted that my parents might want proof that we're really married. I agreed because again, he made a lot of sense. And AGAIN, I made a mistake by

Hailey's POV "Let's run this through one more time," I say, sliding into the passenger seat of Levi's car. The door clicks shut behind me, and he rounds the hood, settling into the driver’s seat. Moments ago, Levi came to pick me up from my house, so I can spend the night at his. That way, he wouldn't have to drive me back here after we break the news to our - my parents, since his already found out. I have no idea if they’ve heard yet, but I hope they haven't. Levi drums his fingers against the steering wheel. “Alright. When we get to your house, we call your parents first,” he says, glancing at me for confirmation. I nod, gripping the hem of my sweater. “And then yours.” "Right." A beat passes in silence. “What’s the story behind how we met again?” His voice is tight, as exhausted as I feel. Levi sighs, running a hand through his hair. "A friend of mine introduced us when we ran into each other in a restaurant. Then, months later, we bumped into each other again

Levi's POV Seeing Hailey chatting freely with my mother, despite her nerves, warms something in me. I almost wish it were real. Mostly because it's been a while since I've seen my mother so engaged in a conversation like this, and I'm glad that Hailey can bring out that side of her. They've gone from talking about her job to family, and then to my mother's farm. I didn't even know how big it was until I heard Hailey bring it up. I can tell my mother has been charmed by her already. I just hope she doesn't get used to her, because all this won't last.Despite everything, the tension in Hailey's body is still palpable, and I think it's because they haven't even broached the main reason for the call - the part of the conversation I've been dreading. A big part of me hopes they'll just keep talking like this until my parents eventually forget why we called in the first place. My father has remained mostly silent through the duration of the call, only chipping in when necessary.

Hailey's POV The room swims into focus moments after I open my eyes. With a groan, I roll out of bed but immediately regret it as the now-familiar ache pounds in my head.Not long after, a wave of nausea hits me, sending me rushing to the bathroom. I barely make it in time before emptying the remnants of last night's dinner into the toilet. 'I really need to start accepting that my meals won’t last long these days.'Even when it seems like there's nothing left, I stay on the floor for two extra minutes —just in case. Eventually, I flush, freshen up, and head back to my room to get dressed.I slip into a short brown skirt and a black turtleneck, layering the matching jacket over it. A black purse and loafers complete the look. One habit I've developed over the years is ensuring my outfits always match in color and shade. My love for coordinating colors once made me consider a career in interior decorating, but I had to put my family's business first.Once I’ve gathered everything I ne

Levi's POVI pull into the garage and step out to open the door for Hailey. She fell asleep almost as soon as we started driving back. I’d expected the conversation to continue, maybe even get to know each other a little more. Instead, things ended abruptly, and I let myself get too comfortable - making things awkward in the process. I sigh and shake her shoulder lightly. "Hey, we’re here. Wake up." She mumbles something incoherent, shifting to her side - then promptly smacks me in the face. I huff, rubbing my jaw. "Hailey, we're home." 'Home.' Sounds kinda nice. I've never seriously considered settling down - outside the pressure from my father - but I guess the thought of starting a family and having a home with someone I love, is strangely appealing. She stirs slightly, her lashes fluttering open before her eyes squeeze shut again. "Go away, Jake," she mumbles, swatting at my hand. I freeze. 'Jake.' If I remember correctly, her mum mentioned the name the other da

Hailey's POV I stay silent, staring out at the passing cars until a new waiter brings our food. As soon as the waiter leaves, Levi exhales. "Hailey, I planned this so we could get to know each other. If we can't even talk, what's the point?" He pushes back his chair, getting ready to stand. "We should just go back. I'll pay for the food." Before he can move, I stop him. "Quit being so dramatic, Levi," I roll my eyes. "Just sit, and I will try to be more civil." He hesitates, watching me carefully, then sighs and lowers himself to his seat. "I'm sorry for the way I acted," he mutters. "It's fine." A beat passes. "I'm also sorry for blaming you," I admit. "I was just upset with how you handled things. I wish you'd found a better way to control the situation instead of trying to intimidate the poor waiter. He was only doing his job." "I'll do better next time." I shake my head. "Oh, no. Let's hope there's no next time." An unreadable look crosses his face. "Why? You do

Hailey's POV Levi holds the car door open for me as we arrive at a modest-looking restaurant. I step out, still irritated about the compliment he'd given me earlier. I don’t thank him, maintaining the same silence we had on the drive over. The valet takes his keys, and as we approach, the doorman pulls the entrance open for us. For somewhere Levi has described as "not too fancy," the place certainly gives off that extremely fancy vibe. With tables set for two, a live band playing soft music in the corner, and guests who look like they each have at least one yacht to their name. The men wear tailored suits, while the women glide through the room in elegant dresses, their hair styled to perfection like they’ve just stepped off a magazine cover. Gold balloons fill the empty spaces on the floor and walls, making it clear there's something else happening here... like a celebration of some sort. My stomach tightens.And once again, I find myself facing the consequences of trusting

Hailey's POV "Uhm..." Levi hesitates. "How do I say this?" He exhales. "I want both of us to go out for dinner," he pauses, then his gaze sweeps over me. "Together." I sit up so fast that I nearly choke on my water, coughing violently. "What?!" Why the fuck would he startle me like that? I expected a heads-up or something. He'd come back from his outing a few minutes ago, while I lay on the couch, scrolling through my phone. Then he said he had something to tell me, but I wasn't expecting... this! Levi scratches the back of his neck. "I want us to go out for dinner." "Like a date?" I ask, my voice still raspy. His expression turns awkward. "Not really... But if you want it to be, you can think of it that." I raise an eyebrow. "Why would I want that?" "I just thought that's what you wanted to call it," he shrugs. "No. Why do you actually want us to go out?" Levi sighs. "I want us to get to know each other. My family would probably ask a lot of questions.

Levi's POV The only sound that fills the small, nondescript, cream-colored office is the relentless ticking of the clock on the desk. It's so loud and grating that I'm starting to think that it was put here specifically to test patients' patience. The room itself is sterile, designed to feel welcoming but failing miserably. Everything is white, except for the desk, chairs, and bookshelf. Technically, the bookshelf is also white, but I don’t count it - at least the books add some color. "So you claim you don't have any feelings for her?" My therapist asks, breaking the silence. 'Why does she keep asking me that?'She's been fixated on my relationship with Hailey ever since I slipped up and unintentionally blurted out how insufferable she is. What she doesn’t seem to grasp is - why would I use that word if I actually had feelings for her? She watches me over the rim of her tiny wire-framed glasses, waiting. I lean into the arm of the chair, meeting her stare. She sighs, removin

Levi's POV I return to the living room to find Hailey by the door, slipping on a pair of vans. She is dressed in simple brown cargo shorts and a white tank top that hugs her body perfectly, highlighting the volume of her supple breasts. I force my gaze away when she straightens up. 'Focus, Levi.' "You ready?" I ask. "Yeah," she responds, then pauses. "Are you okay?" I raise a brow. "I mean, you seemed tense when you got the phone call earlier..." Realization dawns on me. The call had been from my Dad. The call had been from my dad, letting me know that my cousin's wedding was moved up to this weekend. Since he knows I’m married, he skipped the usual, “I expect you to bring a girlfriend,” speech. Small blessings, I guess. Still, it stung that even after doing what he always wanted, it didn’t seem to matter. The call yesterday should have been enough, but it wasn’t. I expected at least a word of acknowledgment - some sign that I’d done the right thing. But no. Nothi

Hailey's POV A dull pounding echoes in my skull, dragging me out of unconsciousness. My vision swims before settling on unfamiliar surroundings, sending a jolt of unease through me. I sit up in bed, and that's when the events of yesterday come back to me. The call with both Levi and my parents, the pregnancy announcement, and the fight with Levi. Shit. His words hit me so hard that after I ran back to the room, I sat up in bed thinking about it for hours. I don't even remember falling asleep. What he'd said left a pang of guilt in my chest - not even because of how he said those things, but because they were true. Even if they aren't aware of it, I've disappointed my parents in so many ways by doing this. After thinking it over, I'm not sure lying to them is worth it. Why did I think I had to lie to them to keep their love? The momentary relief I felt yesterday now feels like a chain tightening around my chest.

Levi's POV Of everything that happened today, at least the call with her parents went well. They were surprisingly cool - except for her father, who looked at me like he was mentally planning my execution. I get it, though. He’s protective. Must be nice, having parents who openly love you. I've walked around the neighborhood a few times now, and I've almost forgotten why I left my house in the first place. Oh, right. I wanted a drink. But I forgot my keys, and going back inside, only to see the look on Hailey’s face after my random exit, didn't exactly sound appealing. I sigh, rounding a corner and heading back in the direction of my house. I can't avoid going back any longer. Besides, it's late. Hopefully, she's asleep. I really needed this walk, and I'm thankful I forgot my keys. Because honestly? This walking-on-glass routine around her is already exhausting. I always have to be mindful of what I say or think all the time around her, and I don't know how long I can keep do
