Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman His wife
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

Alexis's POV With the statistics I was holding, I knew that there was something that wasn't right, and the fact that even though I had taken them out, it was going to take much more than that for them to be fine, showed how much damage the drugs had done already. It would take a lot of work, and a lot of effort to revert what had been done. I didn't know the amount of damage that had been done, but I was positive, I wanted to make sure that they were fine at the end of the day “ Can there be anything that can be done?” Nortia's voice came through, puncturing my thoughts. My gaze went to her, her hands shaking as she waited for an answer. I knew the doctor was trying so hard not to give her an answer that would break her heart but what was the need of doing so when he had even done what? He had given her the bad news outright without considering if she would be able to take it. “ I can't really say, but it might take some time” he answered her A puff left her lips when he said

Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Dirty deeds
Nortia's POVWatching the clips all over again was heart wrenching, I had thought I would be able to do so but doing so now, I knew it was almost impossible. It was all documented there, the time where Alexis had clung onto a pole, almost dropping before Gerald walked in, the CCTV footage had captured every single detail and with each clench to the pole, my heart dropped with it as well. I wondered what exactly would have made Maxwell gone to such length because I didn't want to believe I was the reason for such an action. “ Are you okay?” My mother questioned, draping a hand on my shoulders. With a smile lining my face, I turned to look at her, letting myself immerse in her love. “ I know it feels awkward having us around, you must have gotten used to doing life all alone but I am here to let you know that we can always work things out, we have missed a lot of time and your father is ready to make it up with I as well,”“I don't hold anything against you” I answered, making sure
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Plunge
Alexis's POV “ Took them just long enough to get here,” my father added, before waving the doctor off. “ Thank you doc, I will get my assistant to send across your money, with your tips of course, thank you” Showing gratitude for even the smallest of things was sometimes my father had taught me and had inculcated in me, no matter who it was he was addressing or talking to, he would always show gratitude. He had said it once that everyone was the same and just because we were privileged enough to get this didn't mean we were supposed to treat people like they don't matter and it hoped to do the same when I had kids. Kids with Nortia didn't sound like a bad idea even though that was what I had wanted from her initially, now I found myself wanting even more than just that.“ Let them in, how's the shares now?” “ Stabilizing,” I answered. “ Nothing works better than public opinion, once the public is by your side, you have gotten all that you wanted and that is what we are going t
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Press charges
Alexis's POV I waited, glancing at the clock, each tick resonating through the air as I waited for what was going to be their response. My father had the phone leaning against his ears, while I tried not to think about how infuriated my mother was going to be when she get to know what exactly had happened. He turned to me, looking hard at me before he uttered. “ He's fine, he is okay, there's no need to send the doctor over, he doesn't need it”“ I know that you will insist but he really doesn't need it” my father said again and it wasn't hard to tell that my mother was making sure I wasn't hurt in the slightest way.A smile hung on my face, I wasn't used to this, but I knew she cared, she had always cared and maybe, I wasn't too grown for her not to still be that way. Placing the phone back down on the table he turned to look at me. “ Your mother is worried and she insisted on sending the doctor anyways, I didn't have a say in this” he explained to which I bobbed alongside. “ I

Alexis's POV“ I have to work, Nortia” I insisted, keeping my lips tight while I evaded her questions. “ Alex, I want to know what happened that had you that way,” she insisted. I was at a loss while I tried to come up with something that she would believe in, but I let out a sigh instead, her eyes inquiring as I did so. “ Well?” She waited for me to say something before I finally did. “I went up there with Maxwell, and things happened, a scuffle actually and he shoved me off” Her eyes flew open into lightings at my words. “He shoved you off?” Her voice broke. “You don't have to worry about that, I am fine and nothing happened as well”“ That isn't it” she let out almost in tears. “Your company has been affected and I don't know what it's fate will be, how could he do something like that? How were you able to get out? Who helped you? What would I have done if anything happened to you? What would my parents say? What would have been everyone's reaction?” Grasping her to myself
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Dropped stock
Alexis's POV A gasp left my lips while I held onto the wretch iron still trying to make my way back up to the building when a hand stretched itself out at me. “Boss, it's Gerald” he screamed at me before holding a hand out to me. “ Gerald?” I questioned again, wanting to be sure that my ears weren't playing tricks on me because I couldn't recall if I had mentioned that he was to come here or had given him directives to come up here. “ Nortia, sorry your wife called me over panicking, she has left, but came back to find out you haven't left or placed a foot out and she said I should come back” My leg dropped down a bit before I held out a hand at him, letting him pull me up. When my back rested on the cold floor, I blinked repeatedly wondering what exactly the article would have been if I had missed a step more and ended up dropping to the group. What the news would have carried, would it have been the same news? I sat upright, a hand on my knees at what had just occurred, sweepi
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman A drop
Alexis's POV The air stilled with no one saying a word like I had thought they would, maybe they were spellbound and as such, couldn't say anything. “ You can't do that,” Nortia blurted out. “ It isn't even yours in the first place, do you really think that I will watch you take what belongs to me?” “Like you haven't in the first place, you signed off the company to me on your own accord and I never forced you to do such, so you shouldn't go about talking off, stand aside, while men are talking you aren't supposed to utter a word,”I edged closer, toward her uncle when her father's voice came out in a muffled tone. “I will take it” he exhaled out, stunning me. “What are you saying?”“The shares and the position, I will have it, Nortia will take it in my stead, but I want my shares”“ Father, you can't,” Nortia turned to him, her eyes brimmed with tears at what she had just heard. “ You can't just let this go, you can't let this slide” she explained to him when he held her hands, e
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Roaches
Alexis's POV My feet came to a halt just in time for what I just heard, my eyes swept across the hall before they fell on Nortia who was spellbound and couldn't say a word.I edged closer, bridging the gap between us as I went closer. “ Stop please” I held her father back. “You shouldn't do this, it was what he wanted, you doing this will make you fall into his trap” I explained. Anyone could see that and the smirk that laced his face told me that much also and so I knew that I had to get him to stop, him wanting that was so cruel of him and he wasn't going to stop unless he got what he wanted. I was left to ponder on what exactly he had in mind that he wanted to do or he had planned, killing someone was out of it, had he gotten to the point where he had dead his heart? That whatever was going to happen could happen but he wasn't going to lose the company.Doing so much for something that wasn't even yours from the onset was pissing to me but I knew humans and they were greedy, I
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman off a building
Nortia's POVThe relief I had felt when Alexis had brought it up, holding it in his hand in a grasp was startling, a chuckle left my lips in relief when he held it up to my face. Placing a hand against my chest, I watched his face as it contorted into a frown before he stepped out, holding a hand out at me. “ Is something wrong?” I gauged his expression which told me something seemed off or it was. “ I just got a message from my father and I am going to need you to hold you feet and take in air before I let you know what it is” “What!” My voice came out in a scream while I asked in a muffled tone. “ Is something wrong?” “Your uncle called an emergency meeting, and your father was voted out, I know it will come out startling but he needed you to know that your uncle had gotten your father out already, we can't do much with that” he chewed on his lips.I stood, staring blankly at him before I sauntered back, barely able to catch my breath because of what he had just said before le
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Misplaced
Alexis's POV If it was true what we had just been told, I knew it would change everything, and it would be what we are looking for. “ Do you have it?” I pushed on as I asked, waiting for him to answer when he turned his head behind him before stretching out what looked like a discarded memory card at me. “Are you sure about what you just said? Will you be able to stand as a witness if it comes to it?” I asked, wanting to know that he had the balls to go along with his words and he wasn't just saying it because he wanted to. “ I can, everything you need is in there, it is going to be tedious and hard for you, but you will be acquired at the end of it all, you will win and that is going to be it”I gauged his explanation before letting Nortia accept it, holding onto it firmly. “ Thank you, we are grateful for this” Mr. Edward said, gratitude coating his voice as he did. I could sense the apprehension that laid in his tone and how hard he was trying so he wouldn't showcase how weak
