Contract with the billionaire Chapter 36
“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

Alex kept a pillow on Bryan’s side so that he wouldn’t roll over and fall, and the next minute he was by Mia's side, as he scooped her in his arms. “Mr. Ian, what are you doing? Put me down!” Mia whispered yelled, dangling her legs but Alex paid no attention as he walked towards the door. Just as he reached the door, it opened and Chloe walked in. She stared at Mia in Alex's arms and gave a blank look, "what was going on?" She asked, confused. “Good that you’re here, I’m taking her out to have a chat, till then, stay with Bryan.” he ordered, as he walked out without waiting for her reply. Chloe was still standing there clueless when Bryan stirred and turned to the other side, which caused her to sprint towards the bed. She carefully settled down on the bed and adjusted the pillow properly before smiling down at him. Outside, as Alex reached his car, he set her down and she immediately stepped away from him glaring all the time. “What do you want, Mr. Ian?” She hissed, and he sig

The next few weeks were hectic for Alex, and he had only so much time to spend with Bryan. He would leave early and be back at midnight. Most times, Bryan would be asleep, and he would never disturb his son's sleeping hours for selfish reasons. George walked into his cabin after receiving permission. He stood in front of Alex. Alexander, who had been busy reading some documents, looked up when the room remained silent even after a few minutes. "What is it?" He asked, and George blinked before taking a deep breath and placing an envelope on his desk. Alexander glanced at him and then at the envelope on his desk before he picked it up. As he investigated the content inside the envelope, his face remained glued to the letter. After staring long and hard, his eyes went to George, who still stood before him. "Who gave you this?" He asked "It was already on my desk when I arrived, sir. I also asked the receptionist if she allowed any outsider inside without an appointment, but sh

How dare you, Alexander?" Ella screamed, ignoring how the cameras were turned towards her, and the flashes never stopped. She is going to turn this game in her favour. "You were the one who proposed to me first and then left me, saying you got bored of me. I always loved you." She said it dramatically, walking towards Alex. Mark frowned at her, and he felt like killing the witch. "This bitch, no witch, no, she's a bloody ah! Forget it, I'm not spewing nonsense from my mouth for her." Mark grumbled under his breath, and then his phone rang. "Chloe?" He frowned, seeing the caller ID, and moved away from the noise. "Mark, what the hell is going on? What is Alex doing in a press conference?" Chloe sounded pissed, and Mark pursed his lips. What was he supposed to say? Chloe asked, "Do you even realise Mia must be watching this as well?" That is when his eyes widened, and he cursed for forgetting such an important thing. How could they forget? "Listen, Chloe, just go to the penthouse

It had been more than two months since Bryan took his first steps. Now he would be seen walking around the house with his little squeals and screams. After that awkward encounter between Alex and Mia, they both avoided each other, but eventually, because of Bryan, they had to face each other. Time had been flying, it seemed, as Bryan was already nine months old. He is growing up way too fast, and it didn’t quite sit well with his dad as well. Mia once overheard him talking to Bryan when he thought she was not around. “You are growing up way too fast, buddy. Can you stop? I mean, I know you have to grow up and stuff, but honestly, growing up is such a trap. I wish I could stop this.” Alex grumbled, and Bryan giggled at his father, who smiled in return. She knew he was just having fun with their son, but something was missing. His words had left her in deep thought, and she couldn’t help but wonder about his family. Another day, when Alex was playing with Bryan, she couldn’t stop h

Chloe stood rooted in her place and waited for him to speak with bated breath. What was he thinking? And did he know why she was denying her feelings all this time? Mark stared at Chloe's back for a minute before he got down and stood behind her. She was nervous, and he could notice it. As he leaned forward, she tensed, but she didn't push him away or say anything. "So you don't want to acknowledge my feelings or even yours just because of our differences, right?" He whispered in her ear, and she gasped lowly because he was right. That was one point as well, among the others, but now what was he going to do? "Turn around, Chloe." His voice was commanding, and she slowly turned around before looking at his eyes, which were stern at the moment. He looked merciless and different from the funny, jovial guy she had known. It felt as if the man standing in front of her right now was someone else. "Am I right?" He questioned, raising his eyebrows and slipping his hands into his poc

Mia had been going crazy because of someone who was behaving a lot weirder as each day passed, and she felt like the old, cold guy was better. At least he never confused her. "Mia, I forgot to inform you. I have a meeting in Paris next week, so we'll be leaving on Sunday. I'm not going to leave you both here, so get your bags ready." This was two days ago, he ordered her, and there was no room for any further discussion. Today was Friday, and she still wasn't sure if he was being serious. "Bryan, baby, what do we do? Should we pack our bags or not?" She asked Bryan, who was busy playing with his toys. Huffing she sat on the bed and wondered why she was hesitant about going with him. She was thankful that he wasn't around, or else she would've been a mess. After he had asked her to call him by his name, she could only stare at him, dumbfounded. If he has never objected before when she was used to calling him Mr. Ian, then why now? What changed? And she is not comfortable w

It had been two weeks since Mia shared her past with Alex, she had never felt so light and at peace before, and it felt different. (MIA'S PAST: Mr. and Mrs. Derek gave birth to two kids, one boy and one girl, the girl is Mia, and the boy she can't remember his name. One day, her parents are going to a park. On their way, they are trying to press on the break, but it does not work. As Mr. Derek kept trying and trying to control the car, he didn't know that a truck was coming in his direction. He just turned the steering to the other side to avoid hitting the truck as he turned, and he lost control of the car. The car started to move towards the bush, then suddenly hit a big tree. Mrs. Derektold Mia to jump out of the car before it exploded. When she jumped out of the car, it exploded right in front of her, and she started crying when she saw a lady coming in her direction. She injected her with something before she blanked out, so since then she hasn't remembered anything. She just

“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
