Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Lost in it
Nortia's POVI knew that it was going to take everything in me to stop them from moving further but I knew as well that I had to be quick. The look on my godmother's face told me she was against it but I want some time alone to myself, without anyone beside me. Maybe if I was away, I would shed the tears that lurked in my chest and stuffed me up. “Nortia…” the disapproval settled in her tone as she called out to me. Turning my head above my shoulders to look at her, I swallowed before speaking out. “ Two hours, if I am not back before two hours then you are free to do whatever you want even if it means letting Alexis know,” I said to her, her brows relaxed when I had called his name. She knew I was trying everything not to be in the same place with him so I knew that was going to be convincing enough, to give me the time I needed before I was out. She let out a sigh before nodding, letting me go. I could see the disapproval on Genevieve's face, that she had conflicting thoughts

Alexis's POV I loved how fast the color had drained off her face, exposing so much that I was so certain she knew she didn't have in her. “What….” She stuttered. “ What do you mean?” I chided myself from showing how excited I was at her current predicament when she sat back down, now she was in the mood for talk when she would have been this way and stopped talking unend. “You didn't know about either of them?” Her claws like shape fingers clawed at the table, every tiny bit leaving tiny marks on the table. I had been nice enough to book out the entire restaurant because I didn't want the tabloid to take her pictures looking this disoriented, I didn't want her husband knowing first hand that I had met with his wife. If what I was planning came to pass then I knew that I had the upper hand in this and I was going to get this to work out for me. An ally against her husband could be useful and if she turned out to be that sort of person, it would be to my own interests. “Are yo

Nortia's POV I had lost count of the time when I was done, the sky had inked and turning to my side, I glanced through the endless cups of mocha I had chugged down, well, that was so different from what I had expected and I had actually gotten lost in the midst of it all. My eyes went to the novel which I had in my hand, the old man looked at me “ Do you feel better?” I did feel better, but the ache was still persistent, but it didn't ache like it usually would have. Giving a shy smile, I chewed on my lips before I uttered a yes at him. “ Bills are on the house today, but next time, I will definitely let you pay” “ You should, thank you for today. Can I take this along with me? I will like to see how it ends” “ You should” his face softened into a smile,urging me on. “It had me that way when I first read it and I knew you will enjoy it as well” “ I did,” I confessed, feeling so much better. My stomach growled, reminding me that I had to eat and feed the worms in there. “ I

Alexis's POV Was love always going to be this way? I couldn't help but think as I walked away. I didn't know what Nortia was so scared about that she wanted me away at all times. She was so scared of me being around her, that it was so annoying. I had sprinted out of my office when I got the call that she had been missing. It was difficult to trace her down because she had no friends and I knew no one else that she would be with, but the bodyguard assigned to her had done his work with helping me get her location. Now, all I wanted to know was if indeed she was still unable to face me. I had nothing with me. There was nothing wrong with me that she had to stay away from that long. I understood it had been an order but the doctor had also talked about how fast she had healed and confirmed that she was better. I had thought it would be way better than what I was used to but it seemed I had made a huge mistake. Taking in a deep breath with hands on my waist, I stood at a corner, wa

Nortia's POVFootsteps rushed out immediately I had placed a foot down from the car I was in, my eyes blank and my mind drenched with thoughts. Turning to my godmother, I accepted the hug she offered, the closest to what would feel like a mother before she searched behind me,her words muffled and mouth sealed when she saw I was alone “I was so worried, and you left without your phone” “ You know I will always be fine, I just wanted some time to myself, that's all” “ And you got a whole lot of it, how was your day? What were you up to?” Chatting amicably with her, I gave her tid and bits of what was her how much of a help the old man was and how he had closed the shop for me. “ He did that? For you?” “ Yes, it was unbelievable at first but I had to go along with it, I couldn't quite place my hands on why he did that but maybe he had a reason for doing so”“ Because you said you wanted to get lost, how about we compensate him for what he did?”“ I would have loved that, but I do
ปรับปรุงล่าสุด : 2025-03-27Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman His wife
Alexis's POV A sleepless night and I was back at the office, overlooking files and documents which had piled up when I was busy, so I had no other choice than to tend to them, and it had to be today. The word from my father came to my mind once more, where he had repeated that Nortia loved me. It was difficult for me to believe that and also, a part of me was hoping it would be true, maybe it was because I was tired of being treated the way I was or rather I was happy to settle for the crumb which I would get and I really hope it won't be the later. A yawn escaped my mouth, my stomach growled as well, my eyes went to the bottle of wine which stood so sexily on top of the table, as I tried to fight the urge to cork it open and chug it down my throat. It was some decent wine, father had made the right choice about wanting to get the vineyard and I had given my assent immediately. A quick party will be thrown later to show it off to his little friends, who will be thrilled to have
ปรับปรุงล่าสุด : 2025-03-27Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman saving his wife company
Alexis's POV It was a caught alright and I might have been stupid enough not to read the room and know that she would never betray her husband. Well, I was going to learn the hard way. “ Well, well…” he had tucked up quite well, dressed in a sea green suit, hair permed and a smile lining his lips. “ You know I was shocked when my wife told me everything, just like women would always act, she came off crying and angry and she was enraged at the fact that I had betrayed her, but you know how fickle they turn out to be most times, all you have to do is talk and they will be calm, so I did that” “ You talked?”“ No, I explained, told her that everything was made up and it had nothing to do with me, i showed her the file that you never saw, the one that had her and Samantha as the heir to the company, and she relaxed immediately”“ A fake?” “ How is she going to know? She is as dense as anyone can imagine and I have done my dues by her so she would have known. You know, I have always
ปรับปรุงล่าสุด : 2025-03-27Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Her husband
Nortia's POVWas I the one who had insisted on not taking a step out of the house? Yes, but was I jealous now that I was watching my house talking and frolicking with other girls or rather women? Yes. With the pack of popcorn leaning by my side, I had lost count of the numbers I had thrown in, or the packs I had eaten by the time the wine was finally popped open, my face peered at them. I had sauntered over, grasping my phone so tight just so I could tell my husband, sorry Alexis that I didn't like him with that lady but I had decided against it at second thought, we weren't on such a good term and beside, I had told him to go away which he had did, respecting my wishes like the perfect gentleman he was. Why couldn't he just try not to do so? Why was it that he hadn't been obstinate? And had just gone alongside it? Why couldn't he insist and demand that I am his wife and we had to settle it? I was left all alone now, Genevieve had left earlier on, after he had demanded that she sh

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
