Nortia's POV

I was dumbfounded at the words he had just said while hoping that I had heard wrong, it could be anyone but not him. Not my uncle as well.

For a moment I had thought that he was different and that there was no way that he would say such a thing, he wouldn't stop me from taking my parents from the hospital.

My brows kissed as I asked, wanting to be sure that I had heard him correctly at first.

“ What did you just say?” I questioned.

“ There is no way you can take them out of the hospital, Nortia. I can't let that happen, you have to do whatever it is that you want to here and….” His gaze flickered to Alexis who stood beside me, his hand resting on my lower back as he tried to show his support.

“Why?” I demanded, wanting to know.

“ Is there a reason why you don't want me to take my parents out of here? They are mine, not yours. Like I told you, the drugs that have been administered to them all these years turned out to be fake and we have to take them out before it w

  • Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman    For her

    Alexis's POV It wasn't clear to me why seeing her broken made my heart ache, I had never felt this way before, it was so different from all others, no matter how hard I tried to shove that aside, it stuck persistently. I had barely placed a foot out of the doctor's office when I noticed she was nowhere to be found, a curse left my lips as I sauntered down as fast I could, my heart slammed so hard against my chest as I tried to find out where she could be. I racked my head for an answer and everything led to the fact that she might have gone after her uncle. Weaving a hand through my hair, I raced down, barely able to catch my breath when rage coursed through me. She was pinned against the car, tears cascading down her face and she could barely move an inch. Gulping down my spittle, I sprinted down breaking into a race as I shoved him off before slipping her behind me. “ What the hell do you think you are doing?!” I demanded. If he had done this to anyone else, I wouldn't have

    Nortia's POV No one has done what he did for me. I sat speechless, staring at him while fighting the urge to shed those tears that clung to my throat because it was so different, so different from what I had been expecting. “ Why?” I asked, emotions clinging to my throat as I did. Shoving down the tears that attempted to walk up my eyes, I questioned. “ What did I do that you would do something like that for me?”I hated that I kept comparing him to Maxwell but he was the only one I had been with, the one who had shown me love in such a way that I never knew would be possible, claimed to have loved me but had hurt me beyond repair. I let his hands slip underneath my hair, he held a finger over my face, running it gently as a smile crested across his face at me. “ Because you are my wife, Nortia,” he answered. I gulped in, nodding my head while fiddling with my fingers. That had to be it, what exactly was I thinking about? That he would love me? It was too soon, and besides no o

    Alexis's POV With the statistics I was holding, I knew that there was something that wasn't right, and the fact that even though I had taken them out, it was going to take much more than that for them to be fine, showed how much damage the drugs had done already. It would take a lot of work, and a lot of effort to revert what had been done. I didn't know the amount of damage that had been done, but I was positive, I wanted to make sure that they were fine at the end of the day “ Can there be anything that can be done?” Nortia's voice came through, puncturing my thoughts. My gaze went to her, her hands shaking as she waited for an answer. I knew the doctor was trying so hard not to give her an answer that would break her heart but what was the need of doing so when he had even done what? He had given her the bad news outright without considering if she would be able to take it. “ I can't really say, but it might take some time” he answered her A puff left her lips when he said

    Alexis's POV “ You want to talk to me?” I threw my head over my shoulders to be sure he hadn't gotten the wrong person because how exactly had he gotten to know where I was? Was he perhaps stalking me? Like I had heard also, didn't he have a pregnant wife or rather fiancee to get back to? I needed to make sure that they got married, as they certainly deserved each other. “Yes, you. I want to talk to you” I chuckled gently, not wanting to care about what he had just said but I knew it wasn't possible for me not to do so. “ The last I checked, we don't have anything together, do we have a business deal together or rather….?”“ Nortia, I am here to talk about Nortia” My lips curled into an inverted O, because it made sense now. I should have known that would be the only reason, but why would he want to talk about her? A ache grew in me at the thought that he had realized what he had done and wanted to apologize, but I hoped it wasn't that. There was no way that would be possible,

    Alexis's POV “Do you really think she will ever find herself loving you? She will never, I know her and I am being truthful to you right now. Nortia will come back to me and that is something you should know” “Then why are you here?” I asked, perplexed. Because if indeed she was going back to him, she ought to have been there by now and it was something that he knew about but instead, he was acting so out that I would be ashamed if it happened that I was Nortia. “ I am here to talk to you first because you know what you are to do. Let her go and let her come back to me. She will make the right choice”I stiffened in a cackle, still ashamed of myself that I was talking to him at all because I couldn't imagine this was still happening. I had thought it was never going to but I guess, I had never expected it. “You left her for Samantha, have you forgotten?” I tried to wake him up Incase he had.“ And you think that I am going to let you have her after that? I found her broken, do

    Nortia's POV The birds chirping at the window had me forcing myself eyes open with a yawn escaping my lips. I wasn't going to lie, but this was perhaps the best bed that I have had to lie down on in years, compared to the old cranky one I owned, and I didn't know when next I will have such a privilege. A pat on the bed had me rearranging it just right before I stood up abruptly, my eyes went to the wall clock, shocked at what I had found. It was past eight which wasn't the right way for me to start off on the first day, I was surely going to get some trashing which I hoped wouldn't get me kicked out. Running into the ensuite bathroom, I took a quick shower, making sure the water ran down my back before I stepped out. I was glad I had my clothes laundered a day before and so it wouldn't take much. Alexis had kept to his work and had sent Gerald over with my clothes which included my underwear. I had been so ashamed and had felt relieved when he noted that he hadn't been the one t

    Nortia's POV When I had been told higher up, nothing had prepared me for the fact that the higher up might be my uncle. He was at the top of the chain and there was nothing that would bring him down here, I mean unless it was really important, and I knew by it being important didn't mean me coming late as well. The door slammed shut before he turned off the blinds, his face furious as he did so. I swallowed because I knew it was going to be tough before listening to him. “ I gave you an order, didn't I? I told you and I was firm when I said you shouldn't take your parents away, were you deaf?” His voice thundered. I guessed the people couldn't hear it because of the soundproofed door and wall but that would be his luck because he was outrightly making things worse. “All I want to know is why?” I demanded. “I mean it, I want to know why exactly you don't want me to do so, you didn't give me an answer, and I deserve not just one, but numerous ones as well, so when are you going t

    Nortia's POV “ I am married, remember?” I reminded her. “No one really saw you both getting married so for all that we know, you aren't married, besides you had to give my father the right to be there, and there aren't any acknowledgement by his family as well, if indeed he was married, and to you at that, then his family would have announced it as well” I heaved deeply, I hadn't even thought about his family but I had taken it that they would accept me, had I thought too much?I thought Alexis would fill them in as well, since he said they had been pesting him repeatedly about it, but would it be any different if I told him to talk to them?What if they don't accept me? “ They don't just want to, what exactly do you want Samantha, you aren't even supposed to be here, don't you have work or something, why are you being in every single step that I take? You are becoming annoying”I couldn't hold it any longer. I needed to breathe and it just seemed like I wasn't doing that with th

    Nortia's POV My heart took a dip at what I had just been told as I tried to fathom if I had heard correctly. The man suited his black kept his hands pointed at the black Rolls Royce ushering me toward it “ I am sorry, but I don't know anyone and I am not obligated to go with someone I don't know” I answered, biting on my lips because I knew that was a lie.I knew that it wasn't even that, the man in there has to be Alexis' father because he had called the name, Mr. Williams and it caused chills to run down my spine at what I had just been told.Being unable to fathom what he was asking after me for, because i knew there was no way it would be because he wanted to know me, if he wanted to know about me or needed an introduction, then he would have sent for I and Alexis, but this was about just me because he was here for me. I swallowed, trying to get the lump on my throat back down but it stuck adamantly, passer-by watched but no one was bored to interfere, who would want to do so w

    Nortia's POV I wasn't expecting what I had just been told and although it had come as a surprise to me, I knew it was the perfect opportunity I had been waiting for. The one where I would be able to take not just Maxwell, but Samantha down as well. I couldn't help but stop my grin at the thought of how devastated they will be when they find out the truth, that they had both been lying to each other. I was tempted to shed tears on Samantha's behalf because I would make sure they were wedded first before I said a word to either of them.The scorching gaze staring at me had me flicking my head over at Alexis whose eyes had never left mine, instead it burnt with vigor while he looked at me. “ So what is the plan?” I could notice the look on his face which didn't settle well with me so I asked.“ Is there a problem?” There was a scowl etched on his face, one which I knew I had just seen because it wasn't even there in the first place. “ You don't have to worry about it” he tried to ge

    Alexis's POV “ What happened?” Nortia wanted to know when I stepped out, the house forgotten behind us. I didn't want to bring up the talk that they had given Samantha to me, for a start, it was mainly because I didn't know how she was going to feel about it and it would be best if I didn't. Also, it was going to prolong talks and when they did, it would be best if I really stayed out of it, I didn't want to hurt her feelings. “ It's nothing,” I explained, taking my position behind the wheel, while still fuming in rage at what I had just heard. I guessed I should be expecting it but I thought they would have some sort of respect for Maxwell as he was in the same space with them and being in the same space as them meant a lot. “Alexis” she called out suddenly, startling me. “ You are driving, if something is wrong then you should talk to me about it, I deserve to know since I brought you here in the first place” I shook my head at her, worried that I had made her feel tense in a

  • Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman     A gem

    Alexis's POVNortia was taking longer than I had expected she would take, I was tempted to walk out and search for her especially with Maxwell out of here and I didn't know what he would be doing right now. He might be with her but I didn't want to believe he would hurt her, I trusted Nortia but it was him who I didn't trust. I didn't know what he was capable of doing and I really wanted to believe that he would heed my warning, the first one I had given him. “ You know both of our companies work perfectly together, before the ruckus of course, which was all my fault and I am sorry for that” her uncle said. I nodded at what he had just said, listening but barely even as all of my focus was on the tiny curve which Nortia had walked through a minute ago. “It's fine. You have apologized countless times already and I hold nothing against you” He beamed, making gestures at the maids who walked in with a bucket of ice and a wine dipped in the midst of it. “ I hope you will take this a

    Nortia's POV The words I had just heard reverberated in my ear, I had placed a palm against the door wanting to confront my aunt because that had been her voice I had just heard when someone said.“ She tried, she went to his office and he chased her off, didn't she tell you that? There is no way he would want her, Alexis wouldn't want someone like her” A slap resonated through the air before a voice came up, rage coating every inch. “There is nothing that will be too hard for her to do, we have to do that, her father wants her with him and she doesn't have a choice, he is a better choice than Maxwell and we are getting him, and that's final” My appetite was ruined in an instance, to think that I had put up my hopes too high and had actually thought they wanted me back but this wasn't for me, my uncle had done this for Samantha so she would be with Alexis, but Maxwell was here also, how was that going to be possible?I couldn't get off the thoughts that Alexis hadn't said a word t

    Nortia's POV I peeled off my hands in an instance because that had startled me. He was the last person I had thought would hold my hands. “ Sorry” he apologized, a smile flashed across his face as he did so. “ I didn't mean to make you feel that way, all I wanted to do was help you out, that's all” he explained, making me feel bad. “ It's fine. You don't have to do so. I know you had good intentions and I'm not holding it up against you” I let out a puff, still trying to calm the awkwardness when Alexis wrapped his arms around my waist. “ I will take it from here, thank you for doing what I was supposed to do” a smile curved the edge of his lips as he said that to my uncle who bobbed before stepping aside. “She’s yours” he let out a brief cackle before stepping back in. A sigh left my lips when he did that. “ I guess we might have mistaken his intention” I whispered at Alexis whose eyes were lurking around, like he was trying to fish out something that wasn't supposed to be th

    Alexis's POV “ Breathtaking” I breathed out underneath my nostrils as that was the only thing I could think about at the moment. The emerald green gown clung to her shape, showing every curves that I had never thought she had, curves that might have sprouted so soon that it was difficult to believe it had always been there. “ Really?” Her eyes sparked as she asked, still fumbling with the edges of her gown. I ate the gap between us, making sure she was in my arms before I tugged her closer. “ I am scared” “ Scared?”“ That someone else might see how pretty you are and take you from me”She gave a slight jab at my arms, while her face pinked. “ Are you ready to face your family now?” I was tempted to keep her in and locked in with her but I knew she had other important appointments which I couldn't keep her away from.“ How about we try making our baby now?” A finger ran up the length of her zipper before she smacked my hands, pulling it off. “ We have to go to my uncle and i

    Nortia's POV A war? That was an exaggerated thing to say because I couldn't take that as a war, it was simply me going to the home which my parents had built for me but it had ended up being my uncle's. I let out a sigh, before whispering back. “ I will be back soon, I'm taking a shower”“ Should I join you? I am sure it will be much more better if I do”I clasped a hand over my lips at how sacrilegious that had sounded. “ I will be back,” I answered firmly. “ You stay right outside and wait for me, or you can go and work,I love money you know” the words were out before I could keep them back in. I chewed on my nails, wondering how exactly he had taken that, would he take me to be a golddigger? Not wanting to stay back and hear whatever he would say, I took steps away, hands on the door knob when his voice came through. “ Luckily for me, it isn't a problem, I have a whole lot of them and you can spend as much as you like”I muffled in a cackle at what he had just said before ste

    Nortia's POV He left me deep in thought as he walked up the stairs, with shoulders slouched as he did. I wondered what he had meant by that, but shoving it off my shoulders, I decided not to worry myself about that. I was going to take it as one of those words that he must have said because he had been thinking of countless things, which didn't have anything to do with me. “ By the way” he said as he turned to take a look at me. “ There is a bedside fridge in your room, but I guess it should be empty, I will have the housekeeper stock it up tomorrow” he gave a subtle nod before strolling off. Picking the items back into the first aid kit, I placed them in carefully, making sure that it wouldn't lead to any one of them shattering. With hands holding the cotton wool soaked with blood, I pondered on how tomorrow will go but on a second thought, I decided against it, it would be better if I let tomorrow worry about itself. *************An ache tore through me so persistently and n
