Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Heartbroken
Nortia's POV I had my hands wrapped firmly around the blue boxed wristwatch I had just gotten from a high end designer shop. A smile cascaded my face while I pictured the look on his face, he was going to love it. Maxwell had mentioned he wanted this once and I had decided to get it for him, although it had taken more effort than required, numerous hours at work, it was worth it. My feet traipsed up the steps as I headed to the room we both shared, a bottle of wine in one hand while the box was firmly grasped to the other. I hummed a song while contemplating on the perfect song to play. It was going to be our first night together, and I couldn't stop the thud of my heart. My eyes strayed to my finger while I chugged in a chuckle, who knows,I might be getting a ring, it was a milestone anyways,five years of being together. My feet came to a screeching stop, a hand around the door knob while I shook my head trying to push away the thoughts that swarmed my head. “ It isn't him, st

Nortia's POVI flipped my eyes open, staring blankly at the ceiling as I tried to get a recollection of where exactly I was. Squeezing my eyes shut, I let out a grunt when everything rushed back in, Maxwell, Samantha, and the bar. I had gotten drunk when I wasn't supposed to. I exhaled deeply, pushing myself up when a shrilling sound echoed through, punching all of my thoughts into bubbles. Stretching a hand for my phone, a frown cascaded my face when I saw who it was. The thought of Samantha rushed back in. It was my uncle, her father. After my parents had gotten into an accident, they had taken me in, as that was the only way they could get the company my parents left behind, something about a term attached to the will that had been left behind. So while they treated me like a pearl to the public, I was mainly an extra mouth to be fed which barely even saw enough food to eat, and was made to sleep in the basement while they were even better rooms than I could count. Funny ho

Nortia's POV “ You don't know how happy I am to see you here, Nortia” she uttered when we were alone, while flashing a smile at me. I rolled my eyes at her, at how effortlessly she was acting, and how pretentious she was. “ Get off this, aunty, we are all alone so there is no need for this pretense anymore” I tried to push past her when she said. “You know Samantha is engaged now, so it is only right that you do the same and I think I should make a choice since I have been like a mother to you all these while” A mother? Was she even being right? When exactly did she ever act like one? To me at that? “ Go on a blind date” “ What?” “Go on a blind date, I have the perfect person for you, you are single so it will work out…” “ I wouldn't be single if your daughter didn't take my bf away from me” I answered her when her brows crested at me. “ Your bf? You had a man? Who Maxwell?” She burst out into a peal of laughter,a hand against her chest as she did. I listened as the door cr

Nortia's POV My nails dug into my palm when he beamed at me. “You always have the habit of running off whenever I want to talk to you, are you going to do so again?” I gulped in my spittle at his words, why exactly was he making it look like we had done anything serious? “ Who is he? Were you cheating on me?!” Maxwell demanded as he glanced at me. “ You can't do this to me, you can't cheat on me, you have to stay by my side, no matter what” I let out a sigh, does he know how stupid he sounded?“How does it feel to be beaten at your game?” He took a step forward, attempting to stroll over when he was held back. “You wouldn't do such” “ Oh, you don't know me as you thought you do, I bet you are not the only one who knows how to, I wish you a happy life with Samantha, one that has you both in tears always” The stranger cackled, his eyes held admiration as he stared at me when I rushed off. “ You can't cheat on me,” Maxwell rushed after me. “ You can't leave me either, no on

Nortia's POV I swallowed as I peered at the mirror, my reflection glancing back at me. I leaned against the wall, contemplating if I had to do this. Tears snaked down my cheek because I knew there was no way I wouldn't, I had to do it, for my parents. I had to make sure that this goes away. I gave myself a gentle tap on the face as I whispered to myself. “Get yourself right, you have to do this” I cajoled myself, whispering words as I said that. I let out a puff, my eyes glancing around at my closet as I tried to make out the most from it. I settled for a red gown that hung above my knees, a black heels and a black purse to match, since I had decided to do it. There was nothing wrong with dressing this way, right?I didn't want to give off more than I could take in. My hands circled the lip butter I had in-between my fingertips while I contemplated on if I was going to put it on, on second thought, I slipped it back into my purse, took a long stare at myself before striding o

Nortia's POV Tears slipped down my cheek as I tried to wriggle his hands away from my body, I nudged them always, gnashing when he seemed persistent. “ You don't have to do anything, all you have to do is lie down and let me do the work” he said to me, eyes twinkling as he did. I fumbled, when I finally got his hands off before forcing myself up as I stumbled backwards, his hands grasped my shoulders forcing me up to take a glance at him when I bit hard into his shoulders. A cry of pain tore through his lips, before his palm struck across my face, pain fizzled through me. “ How dare you!” He raged.“ Do you know what you have done? Do you know who I am?” His nerves bulged as he questioned. He drew me closer, tiny dots filled my vision while I tried to stay awake, when he held my chin, staring into my eyes, my eyes brimmed with tears. “ You will do as I say, you will act like the brat your aunt said you have always been and let me…” his words trailed off when my legs kicked his

Alexis’s POV The gentle thud of the door as it slammed against it hinges startled me up, my hands strayed to the far end of the bed, the cold I felt forced me up while I searched for her. She was nowhere to be found, had I been dumped? I had a hand on my knees as I wondered, all of these were a first for me. I have always had girls throwing themselves at me, countless ones coming closer, numerous ones wanting me to bed me, but none of them had left before I was awake. A small cackle left my lips as I chewed on my lips when my eyes caught it, that red spot that glared at me. “ Dammit” I pounded into my fist, my eyes dimming in to be certain I was seeing right. “ Asshole” I cursed myself. I should have known she was a virgin, she felt tight, and she felt so different, everything about her felt different from what I have known. From the very first moment when she had slammed that dollar bill on my shirt, I had been intrigued. Someone had done the same, but she had offered to warm

Nortia's POVMy feet raced down the pavement while I tried to beat the traffic jam that lead to the hospital. My heart sledged as I sprinted down while cursing repeatedly on my way there. I tried to search around for what might have caused the gridlock and when I saw nothing, I kept mute. I finally let out a sigh when I got to the hospital, it's vibrant and bold front glaring at me. My hands smoothened my chest as I endeavored to stay calm, it wouldn't help if I lost my mind, so I had to be relaxed. I took the lift that lead to the doctor's office, flinging it open to see him relaxed on his chair. “You came” his hands laced each other as he acknowledged. “And fast as well” I swallowed, gulping in. “Please don't…” I began. I was ready to do whatever it took just to make sure that nothing happens to my parents, for the treatment to continue. “Miss Nortia, you know how the hospital works, we aren't charity, and neither are your parent's charity cases, so it's only right that we

Alexis's POVWords failed me at that moment because I knew she was trying so hard to hide the tears that were on her face. I held onto her arms which she flung away, tension hummed above us while I tried to calm everything down. “ Get away from me!” She screamed before breaking off into a race, one that had me running after her as well as I cussed. “ Nortia” I called out, listening to her footsteps as she raced out. I knew the paparazzi were out there and it wasn't going to take any more time before she got out there with everyone wanting to take pictures of the moment which they wouldn't be expecting. “ What do you think is going to happen if you step out right now? Please stop!” I begged, still looking around as I tried to get her to stop. A hand around her arm had her turning around as she screamed at me. “ What! What do you want?” “ Please get in” I begged, almost at wit's end as I did so. “I was transparent from the start, I never lied and I told you all that you wanted
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman A pick me
Nortia's POV I knew she had said all of those because she had seen how affected I had been not just by her presence but her words as well. Holding the cup with such a tight grasp that it would have cracked, I forced myself to stop thinking about what was to come and direct my focus instead on the dinner. I could talk about this later at home but for now, it would be better if I just enjoyed this. “ I am sorry if I made you feel that way, it wasn't my intention” she apologized but I could sense the apprehension in her tone.She had meant what she had just said, although she had dashed it away hinting on how she didn't mean it that way, but I wasn't going to be a fool to believe that in the slightest way. “ It's fine, I am sure that you wouldn't do that anymore, besides, my husband will never glance at you twice because I can see how much you repulse him” I gauged her expression for what would be her answer when her lashes flustered at what I had just said before she held her bag,
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Getting mixed
Alexis's POV My hands folded in a clench while I tried to come up with something, probably an explanation to Nortia as it had finally dawned on me that putting this off until now hadn't been a good choice. She was bound to overthink things and I didn't know what she would be thinking right now with Charity still here, might be thinking I must have invited her here. “ Hey, welcome” Charity held out a hand to her, one which she didn't hold showing outright she wasn't in for any bullshit. I swallowed, running my eyes around before dropping to the chair just beside her, the lunch date going so awkward even before it started. “ I am sorry if I make you uncomfortable, but I just decided to meet up with Alexis because it's been long” “ Not I” I said in defense of myself, I didn't like the way she was talking as though she was here for me when in the first place I hadn't even invited her. “ I came to your office but you wouldn't let me in” Nortia jerked her head in an instant, taking
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Her place
Nortia's POV It was aggravating to know that there were numerous things I didn't know about Alexis, while all of this time, all he had said something about me knowing him and him knowing me also were all lies that he had said to me. I had been stunned to see Genevieve when she walked in through the door, peering at me eagerly, and when the words:“ Who are you?” Had slipped out of my lips, I had seen the look on her face that held disappointment and I knew she had every right to feel that way. Alexis hadn't said a word to me about her, neither in passing and I had been shocked when she had mentioned that she was his sister but that had left me shocked because she looked so different from the regular girls I would have expected her to be. Snobbish, rude and always pissed off, instead she gave off this calm aura that made you drawn to her and made you want to know everything about her so we bonded quickly with her talking endlessly about Alexis and their bond. I could tell their bo
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Dirty linen
Alexis's POV It was funny how the universe worked,after getting married or rather announcing that I was married, and there are love up pictures of I and my wife everywhere, she decided to pop up from God knows where just to sabotage what I have right now because there was nothing else that I would get from this. That was the only opinion that I could deduce because if it wasn't that, then I didn't know how exactly she would just show up, claiming that she wanted to meet with me. I was off-bound and I didn't want to see her. “ Let her know that I am busy and I can't see her, also let her know that my wife wouldn't want me being with her” “ I will do just that,” Gerald replied before walking away. I stood, hands on my waist while I tried to understand where this was coming from, whatever I had with her was in the past and she had torn my heart as well. She had done worse than what Maxwell had done to Nortia because stupid me back then had insisted on her staying even after I had
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Old fling
Alexis's POV Her words didn't seem convincing as though she was hurt by what I had said or she wasn't expecting that I had anyone else who would be by my side aside from her. I knew from how fast her countenance had changed that she wasn't going to answer me right now and I was at a loss still wondering if I was to give her some time or stay back as I needed to know which one it would be. When she didn't give an answer, neither did she say a word, I knew that she was already pissed off at me and so I knew space would be welcoming. “ I will be off now” I took steps closer to her attempting to kiss her on the cheek when she threw her head to the side. “ Nortia, don’t be this way” I urged, still trying to have a go at it when she did the same thing as she had done initially. “ Fine, I will leave now and wait for you to be calm a bit, but you should know that no one else have my heart aside you of course” I waited for her to say something and when the answer wasn’t coming forth, I w
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Own him
Nortia's POV I knew that the relief I felt had stemmed from the fact that my co workers had been shocked to see Alexis, there happened to be a satisfaction from what I had just witnessed that I never knew was there. Samantha had been aggrieved, pissed even and I was glad that Alexis had used the moment to my advantage, so what exactly was wrong with me going to his workplace? Since it was in the open already. “Your mum?” “ She's okay, didn't say a word to my father though because she said it would have him mad”“ At me or at you?” “ Both of us, he hates deceit more than anything” “ But we are trying to make this work, I mean, you can tell and we are putting in the effort,” I explained. Anyone could see that, maybe this would turn out just fine the way that we wanted, the one where we both loved each other and we had to be by each other side by the way through. I didn't know where the car had ended up but it looked like an underground parking lot which might lead to his office
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Place of work
Alexis's POV I had thrown all the caution to the wind as I strolled across immediately the car had come to a halt just in front of the company, not mine but hers, a few questions with some trying to shove up their boobs at me when they noticed who I was had me over here. I haven't seen her panic the way she did and so I knew I had to do something, that had led me to saying; “ I am here for my wife, Nortia Williams” every eyes had turned to me with Nortia almost dropping on the chair when I said that,was that good news or was I supposed to be getting up and walking away right now?I checked her eyes for what exactly it was and which one I was to go with but I couldn't get anything from her eyes so I had to go with the notion that she was fine and I wasn't supposed to be worried about anything. My eyes went to Samantha who seemed to have been brewed in rage and toppled out, drawing closer, she had a smile on her face before she said “ My cousin is all over here, I am trying to get
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman After his wife
Nortia's POV I went about the rest of my day with a smile hanging on my lips because my days before today had been eventful. I chewed on my lips, singing to myself when I noticed eyes glossing at me again but I didn't care, they were beginning to do this a lot and it was better that I forgot about them at the moment. A further glance around and I noticed they hadn't stopped, until heels clicked down and I saw Samantha at my door, looking all dashing but she was also the devil incarnate to me. “ Well, well, who do we have here? The pretentious girl? How exactly did you get Alexis to stay with you even after he saw what you had done?” My hand stopped on the keypad as I turned to her. “ That's because unlike you I don't cheat, have you heard about anything like your husband's father or your father in law? I am sure there is a term like that but you haven't heard it yet because you haven't even met Maxwell's father,” “Who told you that? I have and you are just saying words you can't
