Contract with the billionaire Chapter 22: Ex girlfriend drama.
A week passed, and Mia still hadn't given her answer to Alex while he waited patiently. He had not bugged her after their conversation about the marriage, and true to his words had accompanied her to the doctor for the regular checkup.It surprised Mia and somehow irritated her as well, she wasn't used to this side of him and it was more confusing.Her relationship with Mark was now a little better than before.They were not avoiding each other, at least, and that is the first step.The more she thought about the marriage, the more she found his reasoning logical.For their own benefits and egos, they couldn't ruin the life of their child, who had absolutely no mistake in this.Yes, she would be ready to do anything for her child to provide her or him with a secured future, but what about her?What about her wishes? Didn't she have a right to find a person who loved her and valued her? What was she going to do in this fake, loveless marriage?All her life until now, she lived for her

It was past eight thirty, and most of the staff had gone home, while some were preparing to go home.A few workers were still roaming around, as Chloe packed her things and moved out of the building.It wasn't too late, but she was tired already.She didn't want to walk even a step, but she had to.She waited for five minutes to hire a cab, but was frustrated every time the driver refused to take her to the place or the cab was occupied.Can she get some peace?A honk of a car made her jump on her place, and she looked sideways only to find Mark's car there.She stared at the car for a few seconds before looking away for a cab.A minute later, he honked again, which irritated her, but she controlled herself to go and lash out at him. But how could he leave her alone? When she continued looking for a cab, he honked yet again, and this time she gritted her teeth in annoyance.She marched towards his car and knocked on his window. Mark rolled it down and looked at her while she glared at

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

"I want to see a peacock!" Mia demanded "I showed you one." Alex responded. "That was on television." She glared at him angrily, and he sighed deeply. It was six in the morning when she had come barging inside his room, and tapped on his arm continuously until he woke up and demanded to see a peacock out of nowhere. His first reaction was to think of it as a dream, and go back to sleep. But then she started crying loudly, which caused him to wake up with a jerk. He looked at her crying state and realised that he wasn't dreaming and that it was happening in reality. Taking a deep breath and running a hand through his already messy hair, he stared at her with drowsy eyes. "What is it?" He whispered hoarsely, and she sniffed, looking at him. "I want to see a peacock." She demanded rubbing her nose, and he kept staring at her for a good two minutes until he realised she wasn't kidding. "Mia, we'll go to the zoo some other time. Now sleep, it isn't good for the baby." He muttere

Ever since Mia moved to Alex's room, her cravings increased and her request also increased and for Alex, his headache increased. He never imagined a pregnant woman's mood swings to be this dangerous. "Mr. Ian!" She yelled, as he shut his eyes tight when he heard her yell his name for the nth time. He couldn't even work in peace for ten minutes straight without her demanding or requesting something or another. "What do you need?" He asked in a calm tone, as she entered the room. He deliberately didn't look her way because whenever he would do so, she would start with her waterworks, for God knows what reason. "I need someone to talk to," she complained more, whining, and he nodded, engrossed in his laptop. "You have your best friend, call her." He suggested it, and she gritted her teeth in annoyance. Firstly, he is ignoring a pregnant woman, and now saying such nonsense things. "Mr. Ian, she isn't free to sit and chit chat with me. She has a job." she spoke in an angry tone,

'Gay? He's gay? Oh my God, that is why he married me. Because he didn't want to come out as gay in front of the whole world? Oh my God!' Mia thought, as she started to breathe abnormally as she heard Mark's words and silence from the other side. She didn't hear Alex accepting it, but neither did he deny it. "Mia? Mia, relax." Chloe tried to calm her down, but she wasn't listening. Her breaths turned harsh, and she started gasping for air. Hearing Chloe's panicked voice, both Alex and Mark moved outside and saw Mia's condition. Alex moved forward and tried to hold her shoulders, but she kept pushing him away. "Mia, what's wrong? Breathe, just breathe." Mark breathed deeply, asking her to do the same, and she tried to concentrate. He held her shoulders, and she let him, which made Alex look at her and Mark. A few minutes later, she was back to normal and sitting on the bed with Chloe by her side and the two men standing a little far apart. She drank some water, because Chloe in
Contract with the billionaire Chapter 29
Two months flew by with constant bickering, horrifying mood swings, a little tears here and there, some playfulness from Mark's side, some shopping spree with Chloe, and so much more. After the kiss Alex and Mia had shared on the gay issue, Alex was back to being cold, but he wasn't that distant. He was typically the Alexander Ian she once knew. Mia was in her last month of pregnancy, and she could deliver the baby at any time, so she was advised to be extra careful, which Alex, Maek, and Chloe took care of. "Mr. Ian," Mia called out, sitting on the bed, while a sigh was heard the next moment. "I'm right beside you, Mia." Alex stated, and she smiled sheepishly. It seems like it has become a habit to call out his name without acknowledging whether he is near or far. "I just need to use your laptop." She demanded, and he stared at her. When he made no movement to pass her the laptop, her eyebrows furrowed and her lips set in a thin line. "Why do you need it?" He questioned her,

“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
