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

  • Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman    Devious

    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

  • Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman    Moving in

    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

  • Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman    Loved this way

    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    Fun

    Alexis's POV When I had taken a stroll to calm myself down, only then did it dawn on me what I had done and how I shouldn't have just stepped out, letting a heave, I turned on my heels, traipsing back when I stopped at the open door. Fine, it seemed like it had been slammed shut but even at that it looked suspicious, my heart dinged when I recalled that she hadn't had anything to eat yet and she must be too pissed to even stomach anything. Strolling up the stairs while thinking of how to get her to step out with me, my eyes fell on her phone which laid on the couch, fixating my eyes on it, I tried to come to term with the fact that maybe she had left it there and gone up the stairs in fury while continuing my walk upstairs. Pushing the door to the room open, I met a room devoid of her presence and my heart plunged, several thought ran through that she must have possibly left, or gone back but I threw them off not wanting to believe it, it would be hard for her to go and beside, sh

  • Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman    In love

    Nortia's POV His scent permeated into my nostrils and I knew somehow he had found me, just like always maybe he would be doing that a lot. Nudging the once handsome man away, I found myself standing upright still trying to stand sober while he stood inches away from me so furious that I could tell over here. My hand went to my finger which suddenly was without the ring he had given me and when his eyes ran over, glancing at it, I waited for him to say something “ Is there something wrong? Something I just didn't do right, perhaps? Because why are you in the arm of someone else!” His veins bulge as he demanded, clawing their way to his face. “ Nortia” my knees weakened, almost dropping me to the floor when the bartender's tough hands gripped me, Alexis's eyes glossed over, fixating on his eyes before he cackled, sneering as well. “ Get off her now!” “ All I did was help her, she was about to drop”the bartender retorted, still holding me. “ Last I checked, I don't need anyone's

    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?

    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

    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

    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?

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
