Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Compensation
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

Alexis's POV All I saw was red when I stepped in, I had left the office in such a good mood today that I didn't want to be anywhere else but close to my wife. I would have gone right back home but suddenly the idea of going back home didn't sit well with me. I didn't want to go back to an empty house where I just had my cook, cleaners and my housekeeper. I wanted something more. I needed Nortia's smile. I found myself wanting to see her face, the little lopsided smile all over and the blush that colored it especially since I had plans to tease her about her choice of panties.But nothing had prepared me for the fact that I would see the same doctor that I didn't like last night standing right there, touching her face, when had they gotten so close? Was it not just last night that she slept over? So what exactly was going on now? I shoved him aside so hard that it had him stumbling backwards. “ What do you think you are doing!” I barked at him demanding an answer. I had never be

Alexis POV I was trying to keep sane so as not to scare her off, I could be cruel toward anyone but not to her.Also, I knew that I had to get her to talk without getting her worried but what I had just heard about her uncle was enough to piss me off and I was trying so hard not to let that show. Keep her calm so as not to get her worked up. When she wrapped her hands around my waist, words got caught in my throat while I watched her keenly. She looked so small and yet so adorable that I didn't want anyone doing anything to her. I found myself not wanting anyone harming her as well as I was obligated to keep her safe, but was this all from obligation? This ache in me, the sudden jealousy when I had seen her with him, the young doctor.“ You will be assigned a driver and a bodyguard as well” I made that known to her. She pushed herself from my chest, blinking at me repeatedly before she said. “ Why? I don't think there is any need for you to do such, I mean, I have to keep thing

Nortia's POV I waited for him to give an answer while knowing that whatever it was that he had in mind wasn't going to be nice at all. I didn't want anything that would hurt him but I will be fine with showing him a lesson just so he wouldn't do it anymore. “ I wouldn't hurt him, but I will make sure he gets a punishment that will make him wish he is dead”“ Which is?” “ All the contracts he has with me or any of my affiliated companies,I am going to cancel them all”I gulped in, knowing that the company was meant to be mine from the start and any action he took now might affect me in the future. “ I know what you are thinking about,” he rested a palm on my cheek, massaging it gently. “ What is that?” “ That it will affect you, but it won't. You don't have to worry about it, I won't hurt you and that's it. I am going to make your uncle have regrets. You aren't in charge yet so you don't have to feel bad” He explained, I wanted to believe in his words, and in him because unlike
Last Updated : 2024-12-31Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Gave orders
Alexis's POV I knew from the moment I had seen her that way it had to be just someone who could make her that way. I knew it would take time for her to fall in love with me but I was really hoping that it would happen soon enough. I needed her to fall for me and I will do the same for her. My feelings were raging and although I was yet to come to them with what they were, I knew she caused them all. Being with her was the reason why I had gone through so much feeling all at once, most of which felt foreign to me .“ Alexis” she whispered my name as I slipped my tongue in between her lips, wanting and tasting her. She was everything that I was supposed to stay away from, the fruit which wasn't supposed to be mine or close to me but I found myself drawn to her every single time. My hand cupped her boobs as I tugged her up before letting her go, just enough for her to catch her breath, she stood panting before she dropped to the floor. “If you are this way just because we had som
Last Updated : 2024-12-31Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Amends
Nortia's POV Just like Alexis had said, when I was awake, they were right out there waiting for me. He hadn't even taken so long to find them, I thought it would take some time to do so but it seemed I had been wrong.I didn't want to think about how exactly last night had gone because he had looked so pissed but I knew I couldn't just move in with him. He wouldn't be able to make me have a change of heart and it was going to take more than just a plea to make that happen. “ Let's go,” I said to them. The guard sat at the passenger seat while I had to sit at the back. I guessed he was trying to make sure that I didn't go with the doctor, he was trying to cut off my communication with him and I didn't know if that was jealousy as well. “We will be going shopping later in the day,” the guard announced to me. “Will you be chanced, madam?” “ I wouldn't be” I guessed I had to get used to being called this way, I didn't know what my coworkers would say and how they would look at me

Nortia's POV Amend? That was like the last thing I was expecting to hear and there was also no way I was going to believe that. I scoffed, making sure that it was loud enough for him to hear, I could see his fist clenched before I answered. “ The last thing I think you will do is make amends, I don't believe an iota of what you just said” Samantha had her hands underneath her boobs as she gazed at me, eyes piercing through me. “ I know what you are possibly going to say, but you should know as well that there is no way we are going to give you anything else aside that, beside…” her shoulders went in a shrug. “ We are being lenient with you, who exactly would be able to do that with you if it isn't us?”“Stop it” her father admonished, giving her a gentle nudge on the arm as he did so “ Nortia, I shouldn't have treated you in such a way and I have only realized my mistake now, and it wouldn't happen ever again” he apologized. I couldn't sense the sincerity in those words he had

Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Split
Nortia's POVGenevieve was at the door immediately the word slipped out, tapping on it. I could tell how glad she was at what had just happened and I couldn't wait to go out to let her know. Slipping the test kit in-between my palm, I pulled the door open, when she stood in front of me. “ You are pregnant?” I could sense the hesitation in her tone, the one that wasn't there when she told me to confirm. “ Will it be bad if I say I am?” “ How exactly will that be bad? It will change everything, every single thing, it will. Life will be meaningful again, it will be worth living again” “ Ahaha” I let out, trying not to show that her words have been off in a way because she had said something about life being meaningful again.“ What do you mean by it will change everything? Is there something I don't know about?” It seems I was kept in the dark about something everyone else knew but I didn't have any idea about. “ No, of course not. Why would you even think that? All I am saying i
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Someone is knocked up
Nortia's POV Another day went by and Alexis was nowhere to be found, with each day that ran past, I was left thinking about my actions and his as well. Reaching him has been impossible as all the calls bounced back to me with an excuse of him working. I would have gotten his mother to talk to him, but I knew it would make matters worse than it already was so I clung onto that one part of me that believed he was busy and maybe when he is done, he will come back to me. Even when it was difficult to think about it that way, I shove away the thought that accumulated which was all streamlined to him cheating on me, he wasn't a cheat, that was something I could attest to. He could be a whole lot of things but the man I was married to was not a cheat as he had proved it on countless occasions and I have been made to know what he would be capable of and what he wouldn't be capable of. When the bell had rung out announcing someone at the door, I shoved the pillowcase on my leg away bef
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Papers
Alexis's POV “Have you thought about what to do yet?” Getting out of the house has been hard to make but I have done so, stretching it into weeks. I have been trying to think about what exactly I was to do but every single thing came to a stop at the same point, that I had no business keeping Nortia with me. If I was to protect Genevieve, letting Nortia go was the only issue I was posed with and what I had to make sure happened “ Get the lawyer, it is difficult for me to do this, but I have to let her go” “ There have been requests to see you, most of which are from her and she sounds heartbroken” “ Pass them over” I instructed before flipping my head around as I reached for the landline while placing it against my ears. Nortia's voice came out fine at first but it ended up with her telling me about how her day went and when I will be back to see her, my hands clenched the phone as I wished that was going to be all. That just listening to this would have me running home but I
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Breaking
Alexis's POV My heart dipped while I watched her rush past, trying to get past me into the lift before she turned to me, her face lighting up with a smile before she exhaled. “ I loved how today ended, I will love to do this more often with you” “ We will’ I answered, just so she won't think anything was wrong judging by how quick she was to get that. “ Sure?” She turned to me, flipping her head to the side. “ Will you go with me more often? The next date is on me.” “ Nortia” my eyes clogged with crystal on it which I shoved away because she was doing every single thought to make me have a change of heart even when she had no idea what I had planned and it wasn't even helping. I had promised, to make sure she had no regrets, given her my words that I was the only one who will never hurt her, and had seen through to it, I have intended to see though to that to the very end but it seems I couldn't, things just didn't work out the way one wanted it. “What’s wrong? Your eyes, did
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Confrontation
Alexis's POV “Of course not” I answered, was that even possible? A life where I would be tired of her? Even if all she had to offer was her shenanigans, I was ready to go along with it all. I would bear it all as long as it meant her being by my side. I thought I was doing a good job, hiding my emotions and everything that I had to battle with. My mother had stomped after me wanting to know what had happened after Genevieve had burst into tears but I knew there was no way I could tell her, she would be as heartbroken as I was right now.“Why would you even think about that? How is it possible for me to get tired of you?” “ Then what do you want me to think?” Her lips parted as she questioned. “ I know you might take it as me overthinking, but I am not. I know you like the back of my palm, Alex. I do” “ And I am telling you everything is fine, you don't have to worry yourself about anything” She let out a sigh before turning to the side. “If that's what you are going to say, t
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman The problem
Nortia's POV I woke up to the bed empty, and cold, with Alexis nowhere to be found. Pushing myself up the bed, I searched around, calling his name to find out where he was but I got no answer. Sighing, I turned to the side,my reflection in the mirror as I did so. The dress I was to wear today hung by the side, a red gown to compliment my curves, one which ran straight to my knees and had a slit running up to my thighs. Hiding in a giggle, I selected a blue one for Alexis, one which I was so sure will work in tandem with his skin color.Pouting, I waited for him to walk in which was to no avail, letting out a rasp breath, a hand underneath my chin, I made my way to the window, flinging it wide open. We were supposed to have left earlier on,seeing how the sky had inked, I wondered if there was going to be any need. I was really looking forward to this, fiddling with my hands, I decided to take a shower, I felt sticky and stiff in a giggle, I did. The warm water aided in soothing my
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Next life
Alexis's POV While her chest heaved gently, signifying that she was asleep, I laid beside her watching the angel in human form which laid beside me, the one I could never bring myself to hurt. Her hair laid all about her, spread out as her lashes flustered at intervals, my hands hung up in the air while I tried to tap her just hard enough to wake her up, but I decided against it, it was better that I let her sleep rather than wake her up. Her chest still pinked from how intense it had been ,the memory of my hands clasped around her hair in a fist before it ran all the way to her throat while I slipped in and out of her had me biting into my lips.She had this way of making me feel like a child, every moment with her made me want to spend more time with her, and when she wasn't close to me, I felt suffocated and it was difficult to breathe. My phone ringing slashed through the air, grasping my hand around it. I watched her for a second before I placed it against my ear after slipp
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Aligned
Nortia's POVGiven how suspicious she was acting, I knew something was off, but I tried everything to get their mind off her as they walked away. I knew Alexis would want to pry in but she wouldn't want him to know about her partner yet, it wasn't time for him to do so, as she thought he wouldn't be pleased with him. “ Is something wrong?” He turned to me, wanting to know what I thought about what had just happened but I shook my head. “ She's fine. You don't have to bother yourself about that, I will talk to her and get to know what exactly is going on”He didn't seem pleased but he didn't say one more word as we stood waving them off. When their car was out of sight, he turned to me, grasping me around the waist as he led me in. “ Alexis” I tried to get him off when he stuck adamantly. “ I've missed you” he inhaled into my shoulders. “ What about me did you miss the most?” I wrapped both hands around his neck, yanking him closer to me. “When I saw you today, strapped to the
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Suspicious
Nortia's POV“ I'm fine” I kept assuring Genevieve who seemed to be extra clingy at the moment. “ Are you sure? Your face looks so off, and your hand, the straps, were they so painful? How about I take you to see the doctor?”“I have a band aid on, one you placed yourself, so why are you panicking this much?” “ I just want to be sure that you are fine, that's all, nothing else” she pouted before dropping to the couch, letting out an exhilarating sigh.“ Can't he be locked up or something? That was kidnapping and he is also the one who planted the bomb right? Isn't that enough reason?” I had flickered my gaze at her in an instant. “ You know who did it?” I haven't mentioned it since I stepped in here and I knew Alexis hadn't done so either so where had she gotten it from. Her lips parted in a gasp before she turned to her mother who looked just out of place like I was which meant she knew nothing about what she had just said. “How did you know who had done it, Genevieve?” “ Com
