Contract with the billionaire Chapter 18
The next day, Alex sat in his study working on an important project when his phone rang. He adjusted his bluetooth, and answered the call as his eyes remained on his laptop. "Yes, George," He said, as his fingers worked on the keyboard. He sure was managing all the work from home, but it wasn't that easy considering he couldn't keep an eye on what was happening at the company. "Sir, I hope you remember that you have to attend Mr. Peter's business party today at 8 pm." George reminded, and Alex stopped typing. "When did you ever inform me about this?" His chilling tone was enough for George to stutter on the other end. "Sir, I informed you about it yesterday night, and you asked me to remind you today." George said, as he prayed to God that he would remember about it and spare him. Alex vaguely remembered about his call and just hummed, making George sigh in relief. "Also, sir, you'll have come with your partner." George's nervous voice came through the phone, and Alex raised hi

Mia's excited mood had been successfully ruined by Alexander, and that is always confirmed. He will be the only one who can turn her mood from sweet to sour in less than a minute. Currently, the four of them were travelling to where Mia was earlier heading to, but with her grumpy mood. Rachel and Mia sat at the back seat. Whereas, Mark sat beside Alex who drove the car. "Are you going to tell me where you want to go or I have to keep driving aimlessly?" Alex's voice broke the silence in the car, but all of them thought that the silence was better. Mia gave him a sharp look before she snapped at him, "Before this, you never asked where I wanted to go." Alex's grip on the steering wheel tightened, as he gave her a cold stare through the mirror and Mia saw it but ignoring it, she looked out of the window. "Mia, where to?" It was Mark this time who had turned around in his seat and asked her softly. Mia looked at him and sighed. "You know where Mark," She simply said, and Mark frow

Mark stumbled as he stepped inside the Ian mansion. He frowned and looked behind at the step that he just missed. Right then he smacked his head into the door which he knew was there before. "When was this door fixed here?" He cursed, rubbing the part where it hurt and glared at the door before moving past it. Walking into Alex's room, he found him sitting on his bed with his laptop. Glaring hard at him, he marched towards him and shut his laptop angrily. "Why the fuck did you call me when all you wanted to do was work? And when the hell did you fix that door over there?" Mark hissed, and Alex just raised his eyebrows. "Are you drunk?" Alex questioned, purposely to irritate him and as expected Mark narrowed his eyes at him. "I would've killed you here, at this chance, but I care about your unborn baby, so I'm sparing you." Mark said arrogantly, and plopped on the bed beside him. "Now spill!" Mark ordered, and Alex rolled his eyes. "Will I be a good father?" Alex asked, It wa

Mia glared hard at Alex, as she pushed him away rudely though not harshly because she had to take care of herself as well. Alex stumbled back, and glanced at her with his steely eyes. "How dare you Mr. Ian. Do you think all of this is a joke? Does the world revolve only around you? You think it works according to your commands and wishes?" She lashed out angrily, her eyes held the fury as she eyed him with hatred. "Get this thing in your twisted mind, Mr. Ian, people do have feelings, they have their own wishes and they won't work according to your wishes. I refuse to marry you now and every time you ask me." She blurted out, as she took a deep breath in, as she ended up announcing her decision which is final. "Enough, if I don't say anything doesn't mean I'll go on listening to your rambles. Neither do I hold any interest in you romantically nor do I intend to fulfil any marriage duties if we get married.” Alex muttered. “I asked you to marry me only for the sake of my child and

MIA'S POV After our visit to the hospital, Alex has been so nice to me, taking care of me in the little way he can. I was in the sitting room with Alex surfing through, when we heard noises outside. It can't be me the person wants to visit. I'm very sure because Chole is my only friend and almost all the guards know her now, and she has easy passage into the house now. When the noise didn't die down, Alex stood up to go outside to check what was going on. As he reached the entrance and was about to open the door, a lady burst into the living room with a little boy with her. The door almost hit Alex. I looked at the person strangely and looked back at what I was watching, because I don't know the person nor have I come across the person, they must be Alex visitor. “What do you want? Rebecca,” Alex asked, he was full of anger. His facial expression has changed, he looks like someone ready to burst. “I'm not going to ask the second time. What do you want, Ella?” Alex asked for th

A month passed by, and it felt like a year to Mia because too many things happened in that month. First of all, she got to know that Chloe had started working at the 'Ryan Industries'. It was shocking to know how much she disliked Mark, or maybe pretended to. About the regular checkups, Alex was there with her, and thankfully there were no complications. But after that day, he had been more aloof and cold. The court marriage information had been dropped to the press, because it meant letting the news spread everywhere because there was this procedure to allow objections to their marriage from anyone, and that would mean exposure. So now it was a normal wedding with all the rituals, they are doing that at Mark's mansion to avoid unnecessary attention. The wedding was just two days ahead, and she had yet to inform Chloe. Oh, how she was going to be killed with just her looks. The matter back at the orphanage had been solved as well, and she was glad that she had visited them and l

“What are we doing now?” Mia asked in a bored tone. She knew something childish was going to come her way, and she didn’t have to wait for long, as Mark yelled, “Let’s play dumb charades.” “Seriously?” She gave him a look, and he nodded eagerly. In times like these, she wished she could slap Mark left and right. It was fucking 1 am at night, and this guy wanted to play games. Figuring out why Alex ignored him most of the time. Chloe yawned. “I’m sleepy, Mark.” She said as her eyes were drooping, and he was immediately concerned. “I’ll take you to our room, let’s go.” He stood up, and Mia could only stare at them in disbelief. Why was she here then? Shaking her head and mumbling something under her breath, she got up when she felt his presence behind her. She turned around and looked at him accusingly. “Where were you?” Alex asked, as smirked at her angry face. “You know where I was?” She huffed, knowing exactly where he was and what he was doing. “What’s got you so annoyed?” H

Just as she started to leave, he pulled her to him, holding her hand, and she gasped. His hand travelled up her arm and her neck, making her breath hitch. “You really think I’m a heartless person, don’t you?” He chuckled. She found her face being lifted until she was staring straight into his vulnerable eyes. “I am a changed man, Mia, and even if you don’t want to see it, I will keep making you see exactly that.” He whispered as his thumb caressed her cheeks, making her breath abnormal. Her lips parted unconsciously, and his eyes landed on them. “One chance, one chance is all I ask for.” He breathed out, and Mia closed her eyes as he rested his forehead on hers. “I’m scared.” She whispered, her voice shaking, and he held her close. Alex moved back just a bit to look at her face. “I’m scared of trusting you again, Alex.” She opened her eyes, and the tears shining in her eyes were enough for him to release his hold on her. “I get it.” He nodded stiffly and moved back, but this only

A week flew by, and Alex was still trying to find ways to repent for his mistake. Of course, he tried, but it wasn’t all those mushy, romantic things like sending flowers or giving cards. Nope. He just wasn’t going to do that. Instead, he tried to spend time with her and Bryan, getting to know what she likes and dislikes, and from what he gathered, he knew she definitely hates it when he tries to ask her if she needs his help. This one time he asked her if she needed any help in rearranging Bryan's toys. She gave him a sharp look first before smiling sweetly. Honestly, he would’ve preferred her glare over her smile because that smile was more deadly. “Of course I need your help.” She said it in an extra sweet voice, and he eyed her doubtfully. “I need you to stay away from me.” She spat, he knew it wasn’t going to be an easy task getting her to forgive him. Thankfully, she hadn’t brought up the topic of divorce again, and it somehow relieved him, but that didn’t mean he was full

After the issue of the divorce, Mia decided not to file a divorce again because she couldn't deny that she wasn't in love with Alex. “You need to take her away for a few hours and distract her so that I can plan my surprise here.” He said, and Chloe looked confused. She thought he would ask her about Mia's likes, dislikes, and all that, when he said he wanted to talk to her but he did nothing like that. "Also, don’t take her to the orphanage. Take her somewhere else.” He added, and on getting no reply from her, he looked at Mark, who only shrugged. Annoyed, he clicked his fingers in front of her face, bringing her out of her trance. “I hope I don’t need to repeat myself.” Alex said it in a pissed tone, and Chloe rolled her eyes. “Whatever. But what are you planning? At least let us know.” Chloe asked curiously, but he isn’t going to let her know. He only gave her a smirk, and she scoffed. Mark was enjoying the show until Alex asked him to accompany the ladies. “What the hell!

Martin Ian felt his eyes filling up, and a lump formed in his throat. He stared at his son in front of him, who looked shaken to the core. He never thought of meeting his son in such circumstances. In fact, he never intended to cross paths with him. Chloe came running outside with a panicked look, not finding Bryan beside her. She froze as she saw the scenario displaying in front of her. Her best friend was here, and relief washed through her body upon seeing her. She simply narrowed her eyes at Mia, who seemed to be staring somewhere else. That is when she noticed an unknown man standing ahead, and a completely dazed Alex was staring at the man. Frowning, she stood beside Mark, gaining his attention. “We’ll be leaving.” Mark announced and held Chloe's hand, but before they could leave, Mia interrupted. “Can I come with you guys?” Mia asked, She didn’t want to stay here, so she didn’t even glance at Alex when she uttered those words. This seemed to snap Alex out of his daze as

Mia had no idea where she was going because her mind was blank, and all she wanted was for the pain to go away. She aimlessly walked on the road in the middle of the night, not bothered about the danger of the night. As soon as she is born, she must fulfil her duty as a daughter, then her duty as a wife, her duty as a daughter in-law, her duty as a mother, and it doesn’t stop there. Isn’t she a human too? “Going somewhere?” A voice came from behind her, and that was when she realised her surroundings. She had no idea where she was, and there was no one around. With her heart thudding rapidly, she clutched the sides of her dress as she thought of running, but whatever direction she would take, She didn’t even know what danger awaited her. So she slowly turned around and froze, looking at the person. “Hey.” The person smirked, and even though she remembered him, that didn’t make her feel any good. “What are you doing here?” She asked, trying to be strong, but her shaky voice says

After the issue that happened at the orphanage, I was resting in my room when my phone beeped. I checked my phone and checked the message. “I have some news for you, your IVF treatment was not done. You were fooled by your husband.” This message had been driving Mia crazy. She received a message from an unknown number this morning, and at first she was confused, but later, it scared her. Who the hell sent it? And how did the person know about all this? No one knows about their son, or her, for that matter. Is this some kind of trap? She was terrified, and informing Alex about it is the only thing she could come up with, or she could go to the hospital to confirm it. She looked at Bryan, who was busy playing, and her heart clenched. Shutting her eyes shut, she calmed herself before she came to a conclusion. She is going to the hospital. So she got ready and left with Bryan to find her answers. She is so sure it was all fake and it might be to destroy Alex’s image, but she would

Alex seemed like he was replaying the scene in his mind as his jaw clenched and his body tensed. ********FLASHBACKS******* Martin Ian and Leah Ian were tied in an arranged knot by her father, who thought it was for the best. Her father, the commander-in-chief of the army, was a strict man with principles and ethics. He needed things to be done his way, and that was what happened when he chose a man for his daughter. Leah didn’t want to marry Martin, but she was afraid of her father. She didn’t oppose him and followed his instructions until she was married to the guy she knew nothing about. Martin was a calm and cool guy, and since he trusted his senior, who was like a father to him, he agreed immediately, failing to realise that he should’ve at least talked to the person he was marrying. Things went smoothly for a while, then Martin and Leah were happily married, or it was just how it seemed. Five years into the marriage, now with a child, Martin felt like he had achieved every

It was seven forty, and there was still no sign of Alex. Mia sighed as she glanced at the entrance for the nth time and then chuckled to herself. What exactly was she doing? Keeping hopes? Expectations? Just because he said he would be early didn’t mean he was asking her to wait for him. With another sigh leaving her lips, she got up and checked on Bryan, who seemed to be sleeping soundly. A smile formed on her lips, knowing he was going to be up later in the night and give her a hard time. But that’s how babies are innocent and carefree. Growing up was sure messed up. A few moments later, as she stood on the terrace watching the bright city lights, the breeze flowing through created a sense of calmness inside her. “I guess you like the terrace more than any place in the house." She was startled as she turned around and found him leaning on the wall as he stared at her. “How long have you been here?” She questioned him, and he shrugged as he pushed himself off the wall and walke
