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,

Alex's lips twitched and he smiled at the feeling of his baby in his arms and seeing him up so close. It was difficult for Mia to control the gasp that escaped her mouth because she saw him smile for the very first time, and the monster truly had a beautiful smile. "He's tiny, just like you," he whispered, and she should've taken offence at being called tiny, but in that moment she didn't even register his words. The door opened, and Mia looked at Mark and Chloe stepping in. When her eyes landed back on the father and son duo, she frowned because the smile he had earlier had vanished. What did she expect? For him to keep smiling the whole day? Chloe came beside her and hugged her, before looking at the baby in Alex's arm, while Mark stood beside him. "I want to hold him." Mark declared, and Chloe frowned at him. "I will hold him first, I'm his aunt." Chloe argued with Mark, and he made a pity face at her. "So what am I? A stranger?" Mark asked as he scoffed, and Chloe

(ONE MONTH AFTER THE BIRTH OF BRYAN). ALEX POV We were preparing Bryan's bath. Although there are maids that can assist Mia, I chose to do it to be part of their lives, and I wanted to create a fatherly bond with my son While I was still bathing him, one of the maids came to inform me that someone wanted to see me. "Who??" I asked. "Mrs. Ella, sir," the maid answered. What does she want again? I thought, "I will be down in a few minutes," I declared. After assisting Mia with bathing Bryan, I went to the living room, where Ella and her son Ethan were seated. "To what do I owe you this visit?" I uttered. "Hello Lexy, I'm here again with your son," Ella said. "Son you say, how am I sure that I am a biological father?" I asked. "You don't have to be sure, he is your son, you can do a DNA test if you like." Ella spoke with confidence. "If you want to do the DNA test, make sure I'm informed," she added. "I laughed, so what do you want now, Ella?" I asked her. "I don't nee

MIA'S POV After breastfeeding my baby, I was heading downstairs to have a fresh breath because I had been sitting inside the room for a whole month. When I got to the sitting room, I saw Alex and his ex-girlfriend arguing. I stood on the stairs listening to all they were saying until Bryan started crying, which made them look in my direction. Ella called me baby mama and a bitch, she doesn't know I'm married to Alex because we had a small wedding. I also heard she was coming to stay in the mansion. I'm going to avoid her the best I can, because I'm very sure she is here for trouble. While I was still breastfeeding Bryan, Mark came into the house. He didn't bother to greet me or my baby, he just followed Alex to his office. After a while, they came downstairs, and Alex told me that he wanted to see me. "Mia, I want to see you. Let's go to my office to talk better," Alex said. "You don't have to tell me anything, I heard everything, and I'm ok with it as long as she doesn't cross

lace. MIA'S POV While I was surfing through the internet, I saw a message from a strange number. The message was: "I have your sex tape. Don't think you can hide forever. I'm going to release the video online tomorrow by 12:00 pm. If only you can do what I say, then I might consider you, and I will not release it." I was shocked. A sex tape? The person said I'm not the type of lady that sleeps around. If the person thinks he/she can get me with this little thing, it is not possible. I'm not going to fall for this. Alex is the person that deflowered me, and I haven't slept with any other person apart from Alex, so I just ignored the message and continued with what I was doing. ALEX POV Hello, Mr. Ian," my private investigator said. "Yes? Any information?" I asked. "Yes, sir. Miss Ella and her husband got divorced seven months ago," The Private Investigator told me. "What caused the divorce?" I asked. "What I researched is that she was cheating on him, and her son isn't for h

MIA'S POV There was tension in the room, and Alex's expression hardened as he confronted Ella. He was determined to ensure Ethan's safety. The boy was innocent and did not understand what his mother was doing. I really pitied him. I just wished he had a better mum. "Ella," I called. "We want what's best for Ethan, and we believe it's important for all of us to be happy," I said, since Alex was not ready to speak first. "Wow, his baby mama wants to give me advice. Alex, can you see what you have caused?" Ella said sarcastically. "Will you keep quiet and let her finish what she is saying?" Alex shouted at Ella. Ella's eyes shifted between us, her emotions clear. She had her own plans, and she was ready to bring anyone down. As the conversation continued, it became clear that Ella had more on her mind than just co-parenting. "Ella, we already know the truth about Ethan," I said, watching her reaction. She laughed, but I knew it was fake, the kind of laughter that hides fear. "

Alex didn't allow his friend and Chloe to visit them, he kept them out of his penthouse and tried to spend his time with Bryan, who seemed to be slowly recognising him. Two weeks had passed, and although most of the time Bryan would be asleep, that didn't quite sit well with his father. "Why is he sleeping so much? In fact, all he does is sleep." That was the complaint made by Bryan's father, which made Mia laugh aloud. "Mr. Ian, babies tend to sleep the most at this stage because they need it, and if you're so irritated, please become his nanny so that I can rest well." She had teased him, and surprisingly, he just gave her a bored look instead of a cold face. Bryan would flap his hands whenever free, or roll on his stomach and sleep. He was closer to his mother, but of course he recognises his father now as well. He would stare at Alex's face for as long as he was trying to memorise it, and Alex would stare back. The staring game always had Mia rolling in laughter because bot

“Mark.....” “Don’t, Chloe, just leave me alone now.” He ordered, and she retracted her hand but didn’t budge from her spot. She wasn’t going to leave him like that. “I won't, Mark. You need to calm down; it’s okay.” Mark spun around and glared at her, which made her halt in her sentence. She watched as a muscle in his jaw ticked and the fire in his eyes as he glared at her. “It’s okay? You weren’t even going to tell me if I hadn’t forced it out of you. Why didn’t you call me yesterday, Chloe? It could have been dangerous.” His voice raised at her, and she felt her temper rising. “But I managed, and anyway, you were busy.” She snapped, and Mark’s eyes went to hers. She sounded like a jealous girlfriend, but she couldn’t help it. “I was busy, huh? So you didn’t want to disturb me, or you were angry because I left with her?” He took a step towards her, and she looked away, immediately taking a step back. It continued until her back hit the wall, and she had nowhere to go. “Tell

“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
