Nortia's POV

I erupted into laughter, a hand to my stomach at what he had just said, that had to be a joke, a massive one because I couldn't imagine anyone saying that.

Was he one to casually make jokes just like this one? I pondered.

I waited for him to join me, but he didn't, instead his eyes were waiting, and he kept gazing at me like something wasn't right.

“ You are serious?” I asked, when I noticed how he didn't say a word anymore.

“ You want me to be your contracted wife?” He nodded.

“ But you barely know me” it just didn't make any sense.

“ A night with you is what I needed to know all of that,” he explained.

I heaved, taking in a deep breath before plopping to the chair.

“ Spill”

“ Nortia”

“ Why would you want me to be your contracted wife? I mean, there are a lot of girls out there, and you hardly know me, and besides it was just sex, and sex could happen to anyone”

He dragged in a breath before he said. “I have to get married, I don't have anyone nor a gf”

    Alexis's POV When I watched her scribble on the part that made her my wife right here and now, I couldn't help but stop myself from throwing a punch in the air, that was all that I needed. Two years was a lot, possibly too long to figure out whatever it was that I felt toward her, since I couldn't place my hands to know if it was love or merely attraction. “ I’m done” she uttered, pulling me out of my thoughts. I flashed a smile at her, before leaning closer. “ What would you be doing today?” I pulled her back when I noticed she was about leaving. Why was she so quick to leave? She glared at me. “ I don't think you have any right to know”I folded my hands underneath my chest, edging closer. “ Oh, I do. I am your husband, and you are to let me know of any inconvenience, do not keep them away from me. I will make sure you don't have to worry about anything else, all you have to do is say the word” She didn't look convinced as a pout remained on her lips before she wriggled her

    Nortia's POV I waited until he was gone before I sneaked out, almost racing down to the company because I knew they would be worried sick by now. This was a first for me, so I was so certain I was going to be cut some slack. Pulling the door open, my steps came to a halt when I stood in front of my cubicle but someone else was already seated, one who wasn't me. I swallowed down the lump in my throat while I managed to muster up the energy to ask. “ This is mine, why are you here?”A young girl gave me a smile before picking up an envelope. “ I was asked to hand you this in case you come in here” I snapped it open, my heart plummeting at what I saw.“ They can't…they just can't…” I whispered. I had worked so hard to get here, and I was supposed to be promoted, so why was I getting sacked?“ Who?” My grasp tightened around the envelope as I demanded an answer. “ It was here when I got in here with the instructions boldly written on it” I walked across the marble tiles, headin

    Alexis's POV She went rigid against my arms, showing she wasn't expecting me, was that gratitude I see in those eyes? Her sister, who had forced herself up, had a smile on her face as she stared at me. Conjuring up a tone I knew wasn't real, she asked.“ And you are?” “Alexis Williams” “ Alexis Williams!” Her mother yelped out, before clasping a hand over her mouth. “ The Alexis Williams? Or…”I held out a hand at her. “ CEO Williams corporation” I added. “ I’m Samantha, and I'm Nortia's sister, the only one she has in this world” she beamed excitedly. I withdrew my hand, making sure she knew how it felt before she withdrew back into her shell. “ I guess you aren't a fan of handshakes then”I scoffed, I could see what she was doing, and she had lied. I had overheard her talking down on Nortia and anyone who talked down on my wife didn't deserve me speaking to them. “I am actually, but it is from the right person, it just turns out that you aren't the appropriate one” “ So

    Alexis's POV That was pretty fast, I thought it would take weeks or almost days before she decided to show up here, but coming in here now was sudden and shocking as well. Shoving Gerald aside gently, I ordered. “ Bring her in,”My strides were powerful as I sauntered into my office, my hand caressed the ivory oak wood before sitting on the leather cushion as I waited for her to step in. Whatever perfume she had on assaulted my nostrils before she walked in, I cringed at how nauseating it was before her heels echoed in. They clicked on the tile, and she was dressed in a gown so skimpy that it left little imagination to anyone's eyes, but I wasn't anyone. If she thought this little act of hers was going to make me fall for her then she hadn't done any research on me in the first place. She took her seat just opposite me, pushing up her cleavages properly. “ So why are you here?” I asked when she was seated, finger running on the keyboard as I tapped on it.I could get my secret

    Nortia's POV My hands clenched the phone while I thought about how exactly I was going to bring up this to him. My eyes stared at the message, the font glaring at me. Bring your husband home tomorrow, I will be at home waiting. That was from my uncle, and I knew he must have heard it from Samantha and my aunty. I knew it wasn't going to be that long before I got his message about this, but it was so fast. I sat on the bed, staring at the ceiling while I tried to come up with a solution, one that involved Alexis coming with me despite how busy he might be. I sat upright when my phone rang out, before a voice spoke out. “Come down” his velvety smooth voice rumbled across, jabbing me in my heart.I stood up quickly, taking a proper look in a mirror just to ascertain if I was perfect, I had to look the part. My hands clenched the lip gloss as I ran it over my lips and when I was sure it looked perfect, I raced out, my feet glided across. “ You came out pretty fast, were you wait

    Nortia's POV I was dumbfounded at the words he had just said while hoping that I had heard wrong, it could be anyone but not him. Not my uncle as well. For a moment I had thought that he was different and that there was no way that he would say such a thing, he wouldn't stop me from taking my parents from the hospital. My brows kissed as I asked, wanting to be sure that I had heard him correctly at first. “ What did you just say?” I questioned. “ There is no way you can take them out of the hospital, Nortia. I can't let that happen, you have to do whatever it is that you want to here and….” His gaze flickered to Alexis who stood beside me, his hand resting on my lower back as he tried to show his support. “Why?” I demanded, wanting to know. “ Is there a reason why you don't want me to take my parents out of here? They are mine, not yours. Like I told you, the drugs that have been administered to them all these years turned out to be fake and we have to take them out before it w

    Alexis's POV It wasn't clear to me why seeing her broken made my heart ache, I had never felt this way before, it was so different from all others, no matter how hard I tried to shove that aside, it stuck persistently. I had barely placed a foot out of the doctor's office when I noticed she was nowhere to be found, a curse left my lips as I sauntered down as fast I could, my heart slammed so hard against my chest as I tried to find out where she could be. I racked my head for an answer and everything led to the fact that she might have gone after her uncle. Weaving a hand through my hair, I raced down, barely able to catch my breath when rage coursed through me. She was pinned against the car, tears cascading down her face and she could barely move an inch. Gulping down my spittle, I sprinted down breaking into a race as I shoved him off before slipping her behind me. “ What the hell do you think you are doing?!” I demanded. If he had done this to anyone else, I wouldn't have

    Nortia's POV No one has done what he did for me. I sat speechless, staring at him while fighting the urge to shed those tears that clung to my throat because it was so different, so different from what I had been expecting. “ Why?” I asked, emotions clinging to my throat as I did. Shoving down the tears that attempted to walk up my eyes, I questioned. “ What did I do that you would do something like that for me?”I hated that I kept comparing him to Maxwell but he was the only one I had been with, the one who had shown me love in such a way that I never knew would be possible, claimed to have loved me but had hurt me beyond repair. I let his hands slip underneath my hair, he held a finger over my face, running it gently as a smile crested across his face at me. “ Because you are my wife, Nortia,” he answered. I gulped in, nodding my head while fiddling with my fingers. That had to be it, what exactly was I thinking about? That he would love me? It was too soon, and besides no o

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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 The birds chirping at the window had me forcing myself eyes open with a yawn escaping my lips. I wasn't going to lie, but this was perhaps the best bed that I have had to lie down on in years, compared to the old cranky one I owned, and I didn't know when next I will have such a privilege. A pat on the bed had me rearranging it just right before I stood up abruptly, my eyes went to the wall clock, shocked at what I had found. It was past eight which wasn't the right way for me to start off on the first day, I was surely going to get some trashing which I hoped wouldn't get me kicked out. Running into the ensuite bathroom, I took a quick shower, making sure the water ran down my back before I stepped out. I was glad I had my clothes laundered a day before and so it wouldn't take much. Alexis had kept to his work and had sent Gerald over with my clothes which included my underwear. I had been so ashamed and had felt relieved when he noted that he hadn't been the one t
