Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Moving in
Alexis's POV The glances when my mother stepped down told me something wasn't right but I couldn't get across to Nortia to know what exactly might have happened in there. “ I will be moving in after the date” my mother announced and my hands rolled my sleeves, while Nortia swallowed while taking a look at me before she averted her eyes to the ground “ Mother, you can't,” I said to her, because there was no way she could move in. First off, it wasn't what I had planned for and wasn't in the books as well. “That must have been a joke, right?” I cackled softly wanting it to be so when she grasped Nortia to herself. “My darling here said she has no problem with it, so what is wrong with me doing so?” My hand clenched into a ball while I waited for my father to say something but he was tight lipped just like always. Why must he be this way around her?“ Mother,” I called out to her. “ You can't, there is no way you are going to move in here, we just got married and we will need our

Nortia's POV I tried to look past the fact that we were approaching the restaurant while my godmother's hand rested on mine. My heart slammed consistently while I tried to think about what exactly she had said a while ago. I didn't have a choice since she looked so happy and I didn't want to hurt her feelings, finding out that she knew about my arrangements with Alexis had come at a shock, as she had been eavesdropping instead of going downstairs as we thought she had done. “ Would you ever tell me what exactly happened there? How were you treated?” The silence punctured at the words she had just said. I exhaled deeply, not knowing what to say or rather where exactly I would start off from because it was a lot. “ I'm sorry if it hurt, I didn't mean to push on” “ It's fine” I seem to be saying that a lot. “ I don't really mind that at all, you don't have to apologize” “ I feel like I have failed Lily, if I had tried even harder just so I could get custody of you, then you wou

Alexis's POV Words failed me at what she had just said while I tried to think about how she would think herself as not worthy enough of being stood up for. My hands held hers, heart breaking as the tears ran down her cheek, I tried to push past the thought that they hurt, seeing her in tears seemed like my heart was being torn and shredded into pieces and I didn't know what else to do, so my hand rested at her back, patting it gently. Each tap showing how much she meant to me more than the last, letting out a whiff of air when she finally stopped just in time for the car which came to a halt in front of the vacation home,she pulled her head at me, her face holding a smile. I beamed back at her, helping her out. “You are worth everything, Nortia” I had to let her know. “ Every single thing you are worth it all and that isn't going to change” She swallowed before turning her head around, her mouth pulling apart in surprise before she ran on the seashore. It was the weekend and a ge

Nortia's POVMy knees sank, wanting to drop to the ground at her words when Alexis held me in his arms, I turned to her, eyes blurry as I asked. “ Are you sure? There has to be something?” “ We are left with no choice here ma'am, we would have really loved to help, but our hands are tied right now” she reported. I swallowed, at a loss at what to do or do because this was far from what I had been expecting, I knew I should have known that his mother would do something tricky but what I hadn't expected was this, what she had said was she would be living with us, but this wasn't it? “We have to stay in Nortia, besides we are married, why do we have to stay far away?” Alexis asked. Wriggling my hands out of his hold, I glared daggers at him because he was going back on what he had just said. I thought he was the one who had just been lamenting and wanted to stay away from me, why was he acting like a predator right now? “ You are happy, aren't you? Because it is all working the way

Nortia's POV “ You can go ahead” I typed furiously to her because I was done with being blackmailed by anyone at this point. “ What?” “ You can” I replied, making sure she saw that it was in capital letters because I was so done. Was it wrong that I always ended up having the best choices even after whatever she does? I had Alexis and there was no way I would leave him, it was impossible for me to do so and she had to know as well, I didn't have the strength in me to haggle with anyone at the moment. Left in the house all alone, with an empty stomach and a hurting heart which must be bleeding right now, I didn't have the strength to talk about anything else aside from that. “ You are joking, aren't you? You want everyone to know that you are going out with Alexis!” “I am married to him, not going out, and you can, I don't give a fuck, I am done with you at this point, but you should know that I am not going to just stay back either, if you don't want to end up getting married

Alexis's POV When I had taken a stroll to calm myself down, only then did it dawn on me what I had done and how I shouldn't have just stepped out, letting a heave, I turned on my heels, traipsing back when I stopped at the open door. Fine, it seemed like it had been slammed shut but even at that it looked suspicious, my heart dinged when I recalled that she hadn't had anything to eat yet and she must be too pissed to even stomach anything. Strolling up the stairs while thinking of how to get her to step out with me, my eyes fell on her phone which laid on the couch, fixating my eyes on it, I tried to come to term with the fact that maybe she had left it there and gone up the stairs in fury while continuing my walk upstairs. Pushing the door to the room open, I met a room devoid of her presence and my heart plunged, several thought ran through that she must have possibly left, or gone back but I threw them off not wanting to believe it, it would be hard for her to go and beside, sh

Nortia's POV His scent permeated into my nostrils and I knew somehow he had found me, just like always maybe he would be doing that a lot. Nudging the once handsome man away, I found myself standing upright still trying to stand sober while he stood inches away from me so furious that I could tell over here. My hand went to my finger which suddenly was without the ring he had given me and when his eyes ran over, glancing at it, I waited for him to say something “ Is there something wrong? Something I just didn't do right, perhaps? Because why are you in the arm of someone else!” His veins bulge as he demanded, clawing their way to his face. “ Nortia” my knees weakened, almost dropping me to the floor when the bartender's tough hands gripped me, Alexis's eyes glossed over, fixating on his eyes before he cackled, sneering as well. “ Get off her now!” “ All I did was help her, she was about to drop”the bartender retorted, still holding me. “ Last I checked, I don't need anyone's

Alexis POV I waited for what I expected was going to be her reaction but she kept mute, and I had never felt as bad as I did, I didn't know what to feel, what else to say. It was practically the first time I was letting out my feelings and it was being thrown to the side, dashed and slammed so hard that it seemed it had been my heart that had been thrown as well. I watched her lashes flutter, the gentle thud of my heart could be heard as it intensified with each waiting minute for her reply and even at that, she didn't say a word. Resigning to fate, and cussing myself out repeatedly for saying and wanting too much, I stood up, feet traipsing over to the door, while I tried to get away when a hand held my sleeves. “ Stay,” her words came out in a whisper, her hold tightening around my sleeves. “ Nortia…” “ Please stay, I want you” My throat parched, as I flipped my head around, gazing at her so intensely that I hoped it would be what I had just heard and that she meant it. “Wh

Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Dirty deeds
Nortia's POVWatching the clips all over again was heart wrenching, I had thought I would be able to do so but doing so now, I knew it was almost impossible. It was all documented there, the time where Alexis had clung onto a pole, almost dropping before Gerald walked in, the CCTV footage had captured every single detail and with each clench to the pole, my heart dropped with it as well. I wondered what exactly would have made Maxwell gone to such length because I didn't want to believe I was the reason for such an action. “ Are you okay?” My mother questioned, draping a hand on my shoulders. With a smile lining my face, I turned to look at her, letting myself immerse in her love. “ I know it feels awkward having us around, you must have gotten used to doing life all alone but I am here to let you know that we can always work things out, we have missed a lot of time and your father is ready to make it up with I as well,”“I don't hold anything against you” I answered, making sure
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Plunge
Alexis's POV “ Took them just long enough to get here,” my father added, before waving the doctor off. “ Thank you doc, I will get my assistant to send across your money, with your tips of course, thank you” Showing gratitude for even the smallest of things was sometimes my father had taught me and had inculcated in me, no matter who it was he was addressing or talking to, he would always show gratitude. He had said it once that everyone was the same and just because we were privileged enough to get this didn't mean we were supposed to treat people like they don't matter and it hoped to do the same when I had kids. Kids with Nortia didn't sound like a bad idea even though that was what I had wanted from her initially, now I found myself wanting even more than just that.“ Let them in, how's the shares now?” “ Stabilizing,” I answered. “ Nothing works better than public opinion, once the public is by your side, you have gotten all that you wanted and that is what we are going t
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Press charges
Alexis's POV I waited, glancing at the clock, each tick resonating through the air as I waited for what was going to be their response. My father had the phone leaning against his ears, while I tried not to think about how infuriated my mother was going to be when she get to know what exactly had happened. He turned to me, looking hard at me before he uttered. “ He's fine, he is okay, there's no need to send the doctor over, he doesn't need it”“ I know that you will insist but he really doesn't need it” my father said again and it wasn't hard to tell that my mother was making sure I wasn't hurt in the slightest way.A smile hung on my face, I wasn't used to this, but I knew she cared, she had always cared and maybe, I wasn't too grown for her not to still be that way. Placing the phone back down on the table he turned to look at me. “ Your mother is worried and she insisted on sending the doctor anyways, I didn't have a say in this” he explained to which I bobbed alongside. “ I

Alexis's POV“ I have to work, Nortia” I insisted, keeping my lips tight while I evaded her questions. “ Alex, I want to know what happened that had you that way,” she insisted. I was at a loss while I tried to come up with something that she would believe in, but I let out a sigh instead, her eyes inquiring as I did so. “ Well?” She waited for me to say something before I finally did. “I went up there with Maxwell, and things happened, a scuffle actually and he shoved me off” Her eyes flew open into lightings at my words. “He shoved you off?” Her voice broke. “You don't have to worry about that, I am fine and nothing happened as well”“ That isn't it” she let out almost in tears. “Your company has been affected and I don't know what it's fate will be, how could he do something like that? How were you able to get out? Who helped you? What would I have done if anything happened to you? What would my parents say? What would have been everyone's reaction?” Grasping her to myself
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Dropped stock
Alexis's POV A gasp left my lips while I held onto the wretch iron still trying to make my way back up to the building when a hand stretched itself out at me. “Boss, it's Gerald” he screamed at me before holding a hand out to me. “ Gerald?” I questioned again, wanting to be sure that my ears weren't playing tricks on me because I couldn't recall if I had mentioned that he was to come here or had given him directives to come up here. “ Nortia, sorry your wife called me over panicking, she has left, but came back to find out you haven't left or placed a foot out and she said I should come back” My leg dropped down a bit before I held out a hand at him, letting him pull me up. When my back rested on the cold floor, I blinked repeatedly wondering what exactly the article would have been if I had missed a step more and ended up dropping to the group. What the news would have carried, would it have been the same news? I sat upright, a hand on my knees at what had just occurred, sweepi
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman A drop
Alexis's POV The air stilled with no one saying a word like I had thought they would, maybe they were spellbound and as such, couldn't say anything. “ You can't do that,” Nortia blurted out. “ It isn't even yours in the first place, do you really think that I will watch you take what belongs to me?” “Like you haven't in the first place, you signed off the company to me on your own accord and I never forced you to do such, so you shouldn't go about talking off, stand aside, while men are talking you aren't supposed to utter a word,”I edged closer, toward her uncle when her father's voice came out in a muffled tone. “I will take it” he exhaled out, stunning me. “What are you saying?”“The shares and the position, I will have it, Nortia will take it in my stead, but I want my shares”“ Father, you can't,” Nortia turned to him, her eyes brimmed with tears at what she had just heard. “ You can't just let this go, you can't let this slide” she explained to him when he held her hands, e
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Roaches
Alexis's POV My feet came to a halt just in time for what I just heard, my eyes swept across the hall before they fell on Nortia who was spellbound and couldn't say a word.I edged closer, bridging the gap between us as I went closer. “ Stop please” I held her father back. “You shouldn't do this, it was what he wanted, you doing this will make you fall into his trap” I explained. Anyone could see that and the smirk that laced his face told me that much also and so I knew that I had to get him to stop, him wanting that was so cruel of him and he wasn't going to stop unless he got what he wanted. I was left to ponder on what exactly he had in mind that he wanted to do or he had planned, killing someone was out of it, had he gotten to the point where he had dead his heart? That whatever was going to happen could happen but he wasn't going to lose the company.Doing so much for something that wasn't even yours from the onset was pissing to me but I knew humans and they were greedy, I
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman off a building
Nortia's POVThe relief I had felt when Alexis had brought it up, holding it in his hand in a grasp was startling, a chuckle left my lips in relief when he held it up to my face. Placing a hand against my chest, I watched his face as it contorted into a frown before he stepped out, holding a hand out at me. “ Is something wrong?” I gauged his expression which told me something seemed off or it was. “ I just got a message from my father and I am going to need you to hold you feet and take in air before I let you know what it is” “What!” My voice came out in a scream while I asked in a muffled tone. “ Is something wrong?” “Your uncle called an emergency meeting, and your father was voted out, I know it will come out startling but he needed you to know that your uncle had gotten your father out already, we can't do much with that” he chewed on his lips.I stood, staring blankly at him before I sauntered back, barely able to catch my breath because of what he had just said before le
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Misplaced
Alexis's POV If it was true what we had just been told, I knew it would change everything, and it would be what we are looking for. “ Do you have it?” I pushed on as I asked, waiting for him to answer when he turned his head behind him before stretching out what looked like a discarded memory card at me. “Are you sure about what you just said? Will you be able to stand as a witness if it comes to it?” I asked, wanting to know that he had the balls to go along with his words and he wasn't just saying it because he wanted to. “ I can, everything you need is in there, it is going to be tedious and hard for you, but you will be acquired at the end of it all, you will win and that is going to be it”I gauged his explanation before letting Nortia accept it, holding onto it firmly. “ Thank you, we are grateful for this” Mr. Edward said, gratitude coating his voice as he did. I could sense the apprehension that laid in his tone and how hard he was trying so he wouldn't showcase how weak
