"Fine then, I'll do just as you have Said.. I'll have to be nicer to them but not close… it's fine then but I'll love it if you can desist from calling me names like fool, dummy etc. I do not really find it funny…" I said in protest, my Hands clasped together and then placed on my chest."I'll only stop calling you those names when you stop acting like one, got it?" I heaved a sigh. Angie raised her head to me."Are you by chance talking to me because you heard you say something just now?" She asked with a smile. I sabttr to snap at her but then I remembered the words of that being and I immediately changed my mind."No I wasn't. I was thinking of something the other time.. by the way… why hasn't this chef brought our meals…" I mumbled as I rose to my feet. I walked towards the Kitchen and was about walking in when I saw him approaching with two dishes on the tray."Hi Regina! Would you like to eat on the dinning table or in the sitting room?""The sitting room!" We chorused in unison

If exhausted was a noun, I would be the perfect example to show for it. I was drained; my bones were aching and it seemed as if my blood had clotted and it wasn't flowing again. Worse of all, with the number of people still coming in through the double glass doors of the restaurant where I worked and which was buzzing with noise as if it was noon and not five pm, it seemed like I was not going home anytime soon."What are you doing relaxing on the kitchen door, Gina Georgia?"I turned around quickly to see the five foot thick black-skinned Mr Smith who happened to be my manager.I quickly stood at alert. My body was already aching; so I could not afford one hour ranting from Mr Smith which I knew was bound to come if he for any moment thought I was not being alert at my job.."I was waiting for the chefs to serve the orders I have given to them so I could serve our customers" I quickly said.For a moment, he looked at me looking for another complaint to pick on so he could still get t

Henry’s POV.I heard my phone ring, jolting me out of my thoughts. I was exhausted but the reason behind my exhaustion was one I had no idea about.I stared at the caller ID and realizing it was my personal assistant, I finally picked it up.“Hello.” I called into the phone as I picked up the call, we had a pending discussion and he’d probably just called to tell me about the recent findings.“You’re right Sir, something fishy is indeed going on and while I was trying to balance these accounts, I just couldn’t help but notice that there really are some loopholes.” The voice answered from over the phone and my greatest suspicion had just been confirmed.Someone was indeed taking money from my company, I’d thought it was just bad calculations and business but I knew there was no way in hell I’d do a bad business.I pinched the bridge of my nose as I listened to the explanation he made as he also passed a subtle reminder to me.“Mr. Thorn?” He called and I immediately knew what was abou

GINA POV I was really mad and I knew I’d acted way out of proportion, it took a few hours for the anger to finally wear out and for the realization of me losing my job had just settled over me.“What was I thinking? Why would I do that?” I scolded myself as I mentally slapped myself while walking back home, I’d decided to take a rest before going home and now it just seemed like my life had taken the worst turn it could ever take.I live off of what I make from the restaurant, from serving people and now, I have no job or anything to help me get through the day.I stood up to continue my work as I also continued scolding myself for acting so irrationally, another man had lied to me and broken my heart. Why did I think it was okay to take out the anger on someone else?The importance of the client I’d lashed out on hit me when I got fired immediately he was dissatisfied.I picked up my phone and went through my contact, staring at my boss’ contact intently. I contemplated calling an

As Gina packed her bags and got ready to leave her life behind for good, she wondered, for the umpenteeth time, if she was doing the right thing. If someone had told her months ago that she would be married to a wealthy billionaire who didn't care for her or the life she lived, she would have laughed at the person's face. But here she was, dragging her suitcase behind her while Henry's men stood outside patiently waiting.Not all of them though, she thought, as she observed one looking at his wristwatch with an almost imperceptible frown on his face. She sighed and looked around the house once more, it held so many memories for her. Mostly ones she would rather forget, but there were few she would cherish in her heart forever. With that last thought in mind, she closed the front door behind her and stepped out onto the pavement where two guard quickly rushed forward and put her bags in the trunk of the Cadillac, while someone else opened the door for her to enter.She was about to ste

In an ordinary situation, Gina wouldn't have agreed to move into Henry's mansion. True, she wasn't well to do and she liked the good life, but she also prided herself on her level of self respect. Gina was ready to stay in her own house and find a way through the marriage, if it meant keeping her dignity. However, there were two problems with that.One, her rent had expired three months ago and she was living on borrowed time based on her charming kindness to the old woman who owned the two storey building she stayed in. Secondly, and more importantly, the contract she signed included a clause that stated she had to stay with Henry for the most part of the year during their marriage. In other words, she was bound to him for three quarters of the season and couldn't stay on her own, even if she wanted to. Every time she remembered it, she half felt like slapping herself because she neglected to read that part.Gina's mind continued to drift o

Before Gina realized what was happening, day turned into night and she found herself sitting beside Henry's mom discussing the wedding plans. She never envisioned that she would be communicating about such an intricate topic with Mrs. Thorn, number two in top leading women of the century. It felt like a dream come true, but at the same time, she felt nervous and fake. Anyone could see how happy the woman felt that her son was getting married, and Gina felt bad for stringing her on, especially when it was quite obvious they wouldn't be married for a long time.After a few seconds of self pity, she shook her head slightly and resumed smiling at the woman. There was no time to feel guilty about anything, so she had to do her best to enjoy the moment. Gina's eyes floated to the seat beside her and landed on the iPhone on the table. It was Henry's and she wondered if he knew it was still on the dining table. Before she could think of what to do, his mother's eyes tur

After Gina finished breakfast, Henry's mother held her hand and looked lovingly into her eyes. "I'm so happy my son found you. It's so easy to see how much he is in love with you, and I'm sure your marriage will be a happy one." The woman looked like she wanted to cry, and Gina wanted to give up at that point. How could she keep deceiving this woman? It was unfair, and she felt this sudde urge to come out with the truth and damn the consequences.Luckily, Henry broke the mood and walked over to his mother's side to hold her hand. "Mom, you'll make her cry. You've told her how happy you are so many times, I'm sure she's tired of hearing it. Aren't you, Gina?" He turned to her with a silent question on his lips, but she looked away from him and smiled at his mother."I am very happy to be with Henry, and I will try my best to make this marriage work." It was a short speech, but it was all she could manage. It seemed to work however, because the woman wiped her tears and nodded, before p

Contract Marriage With The Cold Hearted Billionaire Chapter 84
There was a certain thrill that came from planning a wedding. Whether an arranged marriage, a love marriage or in my case, a contract. Especially if the intended groom happened to own a whole lot of money. A private chaffeur, fancy parties, trips toworld-renowned designers, all expense paid stylists, helps to attend to my every need. But, the best part–seconded by the Annex card–was the popularity. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Gina's name was all over the news, bringing in both positive and negative reviews. Suddenly, everyone had an opinion they felt entitled to especially the receptionist and secretaries in Thorn Corp.She saw the questions and accusations on their faces, some felt she did not deserve it, while others asked if blackmail was the reason.

"Hi Miss Montgomery," she muttered melissa was a shy timid woman who rarely spoke up. Sure she had pretty hair, but somehow I felt that Adele would give her a tough time. She was quite an impulsive child who could throw a tantrum Whenever things did bit go her way. "

Just before Gina called Mr. Cornwell, she decided to go visit her mother. It was a combination of two reasons, mostly because she hasn't seen the woman in a long time and because her best friend also wanted to see her. She was feeling really guilty about how she had neglected to see her mother these last few weeks, but it was not due to the fact that she was busy or something. Rather, she was just that a negligent with a lot of places in her life but she quickly shook her head. If she was being honest with herself, there was absolutely no excuse for what she did.With that in mind, she quickly turned to her friend and thanked her for making her to be able to see her mother again. She didn't know what she would have done without the girl in her life, but she said nothing and together they went to visit the woman. Her personal chaffeur had already been informed about her impending visit and by the time she stepped out, the car was ready and all they needed to do was go inside and wait f

The next morning, Hevry was up earlt because he needed to catch his flight which was scheduled for eight am, and considering the fact that it was very impromptu, he had to tell the executives at the office. They were shocked and a few mumbled about the sudden decision, but all in all, they agreed to work without him for a week and all that was left was to tell Gina. As he dressed up, he couldn't help but remember the argument he had with his wife last night, and before the call came in, he was hoping to settle with her last night but apparently, it would no longer be possible.Within minutes, he finished dressing up and went downstairs where he realized that Gina was already sitting at the dining table. The first thing he noticed was that she was still clad in her nightwear, which meant she had just woken up from sleep. Could it be that she had done it for him, he whispered, and despite himself, he smiled. Maybe, she was finally seeing reason with his decision. He was already at the f

Gina watched as he frowned for some seconds before finally sighing and putting his hands in his pockets. His gestures didn't really seem like he was open to listening, but at least, it was better than when his arms were folded and he just looked like she was disturbing. She really wanted him to understand why she was so interested in doing the modelling, even though he wouldn't be the one to ultimately decided if she did it or not. Normally, she night not even have told him. Maybe he would just hear that she had settled into it.But with her new feelings for him came new responsibilities. Since they were dating and he had plans of being serious, she felt obligated to share the details of her life with him. But as the days passed and he gave her an attitude, she regretted it more and more. In hindsight, she should have known that he wasn't the kind of person to bend easily but she also hasn't suspected that he would be so averse to modelling. Internally, she was really annoyed at the w

Henry wanted so bad to follow Gina up the stairs to her room, but before he heard the lock turning, he already knew it wouldn't be possible. It was clear as day to see that she was really upset with him, and while he understood why, he also didn't want to allow her to go into the world of modelling. If advicing her meant that they wouldn't speak anymore that might, he was easy to live with that. With his mind set on that, he headed upstairs as well and in few minutes, he was already in the bathroom.More than anything, he loved Gina and wanted her to be respected at all costs. Apart form her being his wife which came with a lot of respect, and prestige, she was also a woman who deserves to be valued. Not sleazy looking. Henry knew it was wrong to refer to the women like that, but a lot of times, that was how he saw them. Always scantily dressed and ready to engage in other things. The public didn't know much about him, but given who he was, he was sometimes privy to underground inform

As the chaffeur drove them home, Gina failed to understand why Henry was stopping her. She even tried to think about whether the man he was talking to had annoyed him in some way, so much so that he wanted to rub it off on her and stop her from doing what she wanted. Even though she had never really thought about becoming a model or something like that, she had always wanted a chance at spotlight. A chance for people to see how beautiful she was, on the outside. Though it was still a good thing, she sometimes got tired of having to rely on her inner beauty.In some sort of way, it sounded vain but she had long realized that in order to be happy, sometimes you needed to be selfish and put yourself out there. When she decided to go to the function with Henry, she didn't even given much thought to her outfit except the fact that she looked amazing in it. However, people complimented her on it so much detailing how it fit her body size and texture. If she was being honest with herself, it

Before Gina realized it, she and Mr. Cornwell were deep in conversation with Henry inputting something every now and then. She had learned he was a fashion icon for one of the leading designers in the country, and he was currently on the lookout for new models. Apparently, he was at the party to scout for anyone who seemed like they fit the type, and she found herself enthralled by his stories. For the first time since she arrived the party, she was actually holding a conversation with someone. Not just being by her husband's side while they discussed politics and things she didn't know about.Even though she felt that Henry wasn't very comfortable with the discussion, she couldn't help but feel a certain sense of power. She was the kind of person who actively followed style brands and fashion icons, so most of the things Mr. Cornwell said were actually stuff she could relate to and have an opinion of. After a moment of them just talking, Henry excused himself to go and greet one of t
