Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Grandchild
Alexis's POV I should have known that getting her to come was going to take even more than I had thought because it seemed whatever my father had done didn't leave a good impression on her and so she didn't want to come so I was left with cancelling whatever plans they had made. So they finally decided to bring it over instead of just letting her come over. I was stunned that my father had agreed but since they didn't have a problem with it and he didn't as well, not that he could ever reject my mother wanting anything and she was so pissed because he had ended up hurting her best friend’s daughter who she happened to be a godmother to so she had gotten him to trudge along. I was up before dusk making sure that everything would be perfect just like they wanted it to, it was going to take more work than usual but I paid well enough and the tips were usually huge so I didn't really didn't see why they would have any problems with that. I chewed on my nails, anxious, why was I feeli

Nortia's POV “ You knew my mom?” I found myself asking the woman who looked very inch like I had expected of the woman who would birth Alexis. She commanded respect and even though she had her hands around mine, I couldn't help but want to know more especially with her admitting that she knew my mother, it wasn't all the time I met someone who knew my mother or my parents, aside from my uncle and aunty, there was no one else. “ I tried everything to get you, but your uncle wasn’t bulging, I don't really know why but it seemed there was a clause to you getting the company at a certain age, we were best friends and so she had told me”“ Really?” My eyes sparkled at what I had just been told. “ I never thought I would find anyone like you, anyone who knew her, my uncle said they weren't close to anyone except them”“Lily was fire! I have to tell you, she was it all, brain, beauty, long legs, charming eyes and she knew exactly what she wanted, when she had told me she wanted to get mar

Nortia's POV The words were out before I could stop them and I was left with no other choice than to explain why exactly I had said that, turning my face to the side, I waited for Alexis to help me out of this but there was nothing from him. I turned to his mother who was waiting and the look on her face didn't settle down well with me. “ Is there a problem? Why don't you want to be included? I will really like it, I wish everyone would know how beautiful my daughter in law is and I want everything to know Alexis is taken” she said excitedly. I would have liked that, there would be nothing else that I would have wanted aside from that, but that would be breaching what I had with Alexis. He wouldn't be so pleased with it and I didn't want to overstep my boundary, the one where he depicted a straight line which I was never going to cross or I was supposed to do so. “ We would like to do that,” Alexis said, stunning me. I flickered my eyes at him wanting to know what he meant by th

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

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
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Old fling
Alexis's POV Her words didn't seem convincing as though she was hurt by what I had said or she wasn't expecting that I had anyone else who would be by my side aside from her. I knew from how fast her countenance had changed that she wasn't going to answer me right now and I was at a loss still wondering if I was to give her some time or stay back as I needed to know which one it would be. When she didn't give an answer, neither did she say a word, I knew that she was already pissed off at me and so I knew space would be welcoming. “ I will be off now” I took steps closer to her attempting to kiss her on the cheek when she threw her head to the side. “ Nortia, don’t be this way” I urged, still trying to have a go at it when she did the same thing as she had done initially. “ Fine, I will leave now and wait for you to be calm a bit, but you should know that no one else have my heart aside you of course” I waited for her to say something and when the answer wasn’t coming forth, I w
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Own him
Nortia's POV I knew that the relief I felt had stemmed from the fact that my co workers had been shocked to see Alexis, there happened to be a satisfaction from what I had just witnessed that I never knew was there. Samantha had been aggrieved, pissed even and I was glad that Alexis had used the moment to my advantage, so what exactly was wrong with me going to his workplace? Since it was in the open already. “Your mum?” “ She's okay, didn't say a word to my father though because she said it would have him mad”“ At me or at you?” “ Both of us, he hates deceit more than anything” “ But we are trying to make this work, I mean, you can tell and we are putting in the effort,” I explained. Anyone could see that, maybe this would turn out just fine the way that we wanted, the one where we both loved each other and we had to be by each other side by the way through. I didn't know where the car had ended up but it looked like an underground parking lot which might lead to his office
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Place of work
Alexis's POV I had thrown all the caution to the wind as I strolled across immediately the car had come to a halt just in front of the company, not mine but hers, a few questions with some trying to shove up their boobs at me when they noticed who I was had me over here. I haven't seen her panic the way she did and so I knew I had to do something, that had led me to saying; “ I am here for my wife, Nortia Williams” every eyes had turned to me with Nortia almost dropping on the chair when I said that,was that good news or was I supposed to be getting up and walking away right now?I checked her eyes for what exactly it was and which one I was to go with but I couldn't get anything from her eyes so I had to go with the notion that she was fine and I wasn't supposed to be worried about anything. My eyes went to Samantha who seemed to have been brewed in rage and toppled out, drawing closer, she had a smile on her face before she said “ My cousin is all over here, I am trying to get
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman After his wife
Nortia's POV I went about the rest of my day with a smile hanging on my lips because my days before today had been eventful. I chewed on my lips, singing to myself when I noticed eyes glossing at me again but I didn't care, they were beginning to do this a lot and it was better that I forgot about them at the moment. A further glance around and I noticed they hadn't stopped, until heels clicked down and I saw Samantha at my door, looking all dashing but she was also the devil incarnate to me. “ Well, well, who do we have here? The pretentious girl? How exactly did you get Alexis to stay with you even after he saw what you had done?” My hand stopped on the keypad as I turned to her. “ That's because unlike you I don't cheat, have you heard about anything like your husband's father or your father in law? I am sure there is a term like that but you haven't heard it yet because you haven't even met Maxwell's father,” “Who told you that? I have and you are just saying words you can't
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Announced
Alexis's POV I thought I had talked too much when I wasn't even supposed to until she leaned closer, hands on my cheek before she placed gentle kisses on my face. I beamed at her, the same time the car came to a stop in front of her workplace before she rushed out. I watched her walk in, making sure she was safe and fine inside the walls of her workplace before I gave orders for the driver to move. “ Wait” I said abruptly when I noticed her guards already waiting outside with her driver, they were both skilled martial arts experts and I knew that when the situation arose, they would be able to make sure Nortia was fine. Maybe when it came to it, I would get a way to make sure he knew how to defend herself as well. I hoped it wouldn't come to the situation where she would have to, but just making sure that was going to be better than putting her in harm's way. “The next few days to come are going to be rough and I want you to stay by her side always especially when she isn't with
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman critics
Nortia's POVMonday finally came and I hated so much that we had to go back home, I had considered this as my home and was looking forward to making even more memories here. I was so sure Alexis's mother would be happy to see that her plan worked out the way that she wanted and we had bonded just well. Alexis had said something about the housekeeper reporting to her and that I wouldn't have to do much. I threw my head around one more time, waving to the housekeeper and the gardener who stood waving off at me. I was trying to hide the fact that it would look so awkward if they found the post pills but on second thought, we were married so it was justifiable. “ It seems Samantha wants to give this a try, because she seems so eager to meet with your parents before her marriage, do you think she would be trying to make them like her so she can push me off?” I couldn't help but ask as we got into the car, the driver zoomed off. It was the early hours of the morning and we had to be
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman lollipop
Nortia's POV One more night and we would be out of here, I didn't want this to end, it was everything and I knew it had helped us so I found myself saying while the voice of Noah screaming dawned in the background. “ I will miss this when we are back home” “ We can always go away on random vacations such as this” he explained, slamming the nail where exactly I wanted it. “ Sure?” “ Yes, every weekend we can, as long as you are fine with it and you are ready to go with me, I don't see any problem with that” I let him hold my hand, stretching the box of pizza at me. “ I am going to add more weight after this” I pouted, trying to get the pizza when he handed it back. “ I will always love you the same way, it isn't going to change, the love I have for you is always going to be above that” he said to me. My eyes flooded with crystals pooling underneath it at the words he had just said. “Beside, we can always hit the gym if you want us to, all you have to do is say the words and I
