Contract Marriage With My Ex's Boss twenty five
Levi's POV I 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 th

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

Hailey's POV Matt picks on the second ring. "Babes, you got married to your baby daddy and you didn't fucking bother to tell me?!" He whisper-yells to me over the phone. Whispers because he's probably at work, and doesn't want to call attention to himself. I fetch my plate from the microwave and get the coffee I'd been brewing, then walk back to where'd been sitting. "I was going to tell you, but everything just blew over. It was meant to be a secret, but we both don't know how it got leaked, " I reply, picking up my phone from the table. Matt frowns, then shakes his head slowly. "Still, you should've told me immediately after it was out. I know we haven't known each other for long, but I expected a certain level of loyalty, babes." I feel a pang of guilt, for not telling him and making him feel like I don't consider him a close enough friend. And because I'm still keeping something away from him. I sigh, taking a sip of my coffee. "I'm sorry. If I had any control o

Hailey's POV I rub my eyes, making sure I'm not imagining things. "Jake?" My voice comes out in a tremor I don't control in time. 'How did he find me? Why is he here?'The reality of seeing him again slams into me, and a wave of dizziness washes over me. I grip the doorpost, knuckles turning white. I'd thought that I had gotten over Jake's betrayal, that it didn't hurt as much anymore. I convinced myself that when I saw him again, he wouldn't have any effect on me. But looking at him right now - the athletic-built, blonde-haired man I'd once been in love with - the constructed wall around my heart cracks, bringing in a flood of memories and emotions I'd thought were buried. "So it's true, you're actually married to him." Jake's tone drips with disbelief and scorn. "I always knew you were desperate, Hailey, but this? This is far more than that." I inhale deeply, willing myself not to let the hurt and anger show on my face. He's looking for a reaction, but I won't give him

Hailey's POV I'd barely woken up from sleep before I heard the sound of Levi's car driving in. I'd intended to take a short nap, but ended up getting knocked out for four hours. And the funny thing is I feel even more tired than I was when I went to sleep. "Hailey? Are you home?" I hear the faint sound of Levi's voice asking from the living room. With a groan that stretches into a yawn, I push myself off the bed, heading toward his voice. "Hi," I mumble, leaning against the wall opposite him, arms crossed. "Hi." His gaze sweeps over my face, concern crossing his eyes. "Did I wake you?" he asks, a guilty edge to his tone. I shake my head. "You didn't. I was awake before you came home." "Okay." I move past him to sit on the couch. He follows after, plopping down beside me and loosening his tie with an exhausted sigh. I arch an eyebrow. "Long day?" "Yeah," he replies, rubbing the back of his neck. "Trying to nail this building contract. They're being difficult

Jake's POV"Where have you been all night?" Charlotte asks as I stagger into the living room. 'Damn. I was hoping she'd be asleep by now.'"None of your business," I drawl, dropping onto the couch. I slide down until I’m on the floor, grabbing the remote and turning on the TV. I need the noise to slice through the tension in the room.To my annoyance, Charlotte plants herself right in front of me, arms crossed, that familiar frown stamped on her face. It's become permanent lately—or maybe it just shows up whenever she’s around me. "Didn't you see that I'd been calling?" she asks, eyes scanning me like she’s waiting for a confession."Just leave me alone, Char. I don't want to deal with this right now," I mumble, my eyes struggling to stay open. "Are you drunk?" Her read jerks back, disgust plain on her face. "This is what - the second time you've come home drunk in two days? It's not even the weekend, but you're already so wasted." I don't say anything, tilting my head to get a l

Hailey's POV It's been a really long morning at work. Turns out my boss isn't as smitten with Levi as I thought. In the last two days, I've been saddled with the task of coming up with new marketing plans for the business, and I have till next Tuesday to pitch my ideas. Another thing that made my morning even more stressful, was the brutal round of morning sickness I had before finally getting ready for work. So yeah, not a great start to my day. Levi offered to drive me to work, and he said he'd come pick me up early so we could go shopping for our trip tomorrow. 'Lucky me.' Not.I arrange my presentation points into a folder, then shut my laptop, deciding to take a quick nap. It's almost time for my lunch break, so sleeping now doesn't exactly count as being lazy. Sadly, my nap is short-lived. A knock at the office door pulls me out of sleep. I groan and stand, reluctantly. I'd locked the door before lying down, just in case my boss decided to pay a surprise visit. Whoeve

Hailey's POV "What the fuck?!" Jake's eyes snap open, and a mixture of fear and surprise flashes across his blue orbs. The girl slowly turns to face me. At the sight of her face, I feel myself begin to lose balance, my consciousness slowly slipping away from me. The room tilts and falls backward. The last thing I feel is my body falling heavily to the ground, before darkness consumes me. "Is she dead?" "I'm not sure, let's find out." I hear faint voices whisper over me. Then, water splashes on my face. I gasp for air, unintentionally swallowing, when I feel the water land on my face with force. "She's finally awake," I hear my boyfriend say. "Oh, thank fuck. I thought we would have to deal with a dead body," Charlotte responds. Jake laughs. "She has always been such a pain." Hold on, Charlotte? And why is she talking to Jake? Who are they even talking-? The memories come rushing back to me at that instant. The image of Charlotte on Jake's cock, the look

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
Contract Marriage With My Ex's Boss twenty three
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
