Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Trust no one
Alexis's POV The mood had been soured since the very day her uncle had told Nortia that, it had come off as a shock to her but not to me because I knew how the business world works and I also knew he must have something up his sleeves and he would have done everything to make sure the company kept being his. I dragged in a breath, trying to keep calm as I waited for Nortia to walk in through the door. It was taking more time than it should, but I also knew she had to look the part and her best as well. The part where she was both my wife and she was showing off to Samantha that she was better than she could ever be. I wasn't disputing that, as she was always going to be the best to me and that wasn't going to change in anyways. The little scrambles up the steps told me she was approaching and I found myself holding up my breath as I waited for her to come down, each step taking so much more time than the last. I grasped my hand into a ball, waiting for her to come outright and w

Nortia's POV Going with her was always going to be something I shouldn't do but I threw myself to caution, not caring about whatever she was going to do. She wouldn't hurt me, I knew that much and that was because Alexis was here with me and just touching me would get him erratic and she wouldn't want to see what his wrath would be. Losing her hold from around my wrist, I let her tug me into the room, enclosed in a space that had just us both in it, I swallowed, looking at her while waiting for her to say what was in her mind. She glared at me, eyes fixated at me before she threw her head back. “ What do you think you are doing? Or rather Alexis is doing?”“ What do you mean?” I feigned pretence, raising my shoulders to show that. “ Are you really toying with me right now? Is this some sort of way to get back at me? Or rather your uncle because of what you found? Samantha was wrong to have given you that, as it doesn't mean anything or would change anything”I sneered, my lips c

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

Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Forfeited
Nortia's POVI was calm by the time we walked down the stairs when his mother was right outside the door, bringing it up wouldn't be that hard,but the words didn't fall out right when I saw her. “ Nortia, you have to know that I never meant what had happened, and I mean it, Charity had done so on her own accord and I had no hands in it” she explained before I could say a word. A little smile lit up at the edge of my face at what she just said. “ It's fine, I really don't hold anything against you”“ Your head, how do you feel now? Do I need to call the doctor or sort?”I shook my head giving her the answer which was the best at the moment, aside from a little tug I was fine “ I have something I would like to know” “ What is it?” Worry etched her brow as she turned to Alexis who stood by my side, I thought he had work to attend to so why was he here?“ I know it might have been long but I just wanted to know if my mother had at any point in time talked to you about her lawyer, or
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman perfect
Nortia's POV My hand tightened around the file while Alexis drove home, my heart thudding so fast as well. I couldn't wait to get back just to open this up but a side of me couldn't help but contemplate on what exactly would happen if it turned out it was more than what I was expecting, if I would be able to handle the consequences of insisting on seeing in even when any wise person will do everything not to open up past baggage. When Alexis drove in, coming to a halt in front of the house, I slipped out, sauntering out before he could rush after me. “ Nortia” he called behind me as my footsteps raced up the stairs, not stopping to take a glance at him, I stomped up the stairs, slamming the door behind me. Leaning against the door when I had the door knotted properly, I held a hand to my heart grazing the edges of the invitation card which I had received. Was it going to be bad if I say I felt a bit hurt seeing the invitation card? I know I wasn't supposed to be but I was unabl
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman A smoker
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
