Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Life is on the line
Nortia's POV I wasn't one to dig too deep but I knew I couldn't let this go, there had to be something that I had to do and whatever it was,I needed to do so fast. The gray color splashed on the wall of the office and the leather chair only confirmed what my uncle had said, I didn't have any power in there. I was relegated to the background and what had he called me? ‘A figurehead” A hand clasped around my mouth as I tried to muffle the cackle when my assistant walked in with bulks of documents which he dropped on the table. “ What's that?” I questioned, turning my attention to look at what it was when he glanced at the folders, the manilla files that filled the table. “ These?” He glanced at them before storming out without giving me an answer. I tapped my feet on the marble tiles thinking of how I was to take this in when my eyes caught the manilla file which contained financial reports of the previous year. I tried to keep my hands to myself but damned it on the second tho

Nortia's POVMy life on the line? I held a snort at what I had just heard, wanting to make sure it had been a mistake because it had to be that as there was no way he would have been right. I know I hadn't gotten the time to gloss through, but even at that, I didn't expect that there would be anything in there which would put my life at risk. I wasn't going to lie, goosebumps trailed my arms but I kept my thoughts back down, not wanting them to come up. The ones that I would be ruining things before I even started or rather before we even started. “Where did you get this?” Alexis asked again, this time his voice firmer than the last, he was putting it back into my bag, still looking around like he was trying to make sure that no one was looking and no one had noticed. “ I am fine” I assured, not wanting to look at what was going on, it was all too natural to me. I had seen it and had taken it because I knew it would be vital which also wasn't enough reason for him to act this way

Alexis's POV I could tell by the way she glanced at me that all she was thinking about was how I must have messed up when I haven't even done such a thing. A sigh left my lips as I made to touch her shoulders which she evaded, taking a step backward. It hadn't even gotten to that yet. “ I'm listening” she whistled, hands tucked behind her as she did so. “ Say what you intended to say,” she added, still waiting. “ It's nothing big, your phone” I could tell by how the light kept going off that she must be having countless messages at the moment, I had seen her take pictures of the decorations and the flower bouquet and she must have posted it. It had been no biggie as I had seen it online, seen how most Ladies swooned over it and I thought I should do the same and when her eyes glowed, I knew I had made the right choice. “ What is it about her?” She pulled me out of my reverie, bringing me back to the issue at hand. “ You said something about Charity?”“ You haven't seen it yet?

Alexis's POVMy feet glided across the pathway, eyes heavy as I sauntered through waiting to know what exactly had prompted such a behavior. My father wants one who will do something as such, he wasn't one to take action impromptu, and as such I needed to know why he had done so. My feet halted just across the driveway where he stood, a back against me. “ What do you want? What have you over here and at such an ungodly hour?”“ You sold our shares?” “ Did I?” He turned to me, his face blank while he was mute. “ Don't you know what is happening? You ought to have known about it, the shareholders, you really have no clue about it?”A heave left his lips, so deep that I heard him before I bridged the gap between us. “ I didn't even know that he would do such, your uncle wanted it and he came to me and…”“ He sold it?”“ He did” I could tell the regret that laced his lips, the one that made him wish he hadn't been so soft toward his family, the one who he had gotten from getting mar
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-15Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Heartbroken
Nortia's POV I had my hands wrapped firmly around the blue boxed wristwatch I had just gotten from a high end designer shop. A smile cascaded my face while I pictured the look on his face, he was going to love it. Maxwell had mentioned he wanted this once and I had decided to get it for him, although it had taken more effort than required, numerous hours at work, it was worth it. My feet traipsed up the steps as I headed to the room we both shared, a bottle of wine in one hand while the box was firmly grasped to the other. I hummed a song while contemplating on the perfect song to play. It was going to be our first night together, and I couldn't stop the thud of my heart. My eyes strayed to my finger while I chugged in a chuckle, who knows,I might be getting a ring, it was a milestone anyways,five years of being together. My feet came to a screeching stop, a hand around the door knob while I shook my head trying to push away the thoughts that swarmed my head. “ It isn't him, st

Nortia's POVI flipped my eyes open, staring blankly at the ceiling as I tried to get a recollection of where exactly I was. Squeezing my eyes shut, I let out a grunt when everything rushed back in, Maxwell, Samantha, and the bar. I had gotten drunk when I wasn't supposed to. I exhaled deeply, pushing myself up when a shrilling sound echoed through, punching all of my thoughts into bubbles. Stretching a hand for my phone, a frown cascaded my face when I saw who it was. The thought of Samantha rushed back in. It was my uncle, her father. After my parents had gotten into an accident, they had taken me in, as that was the only way they could get the company my parents left behind, something about a term attached to the will that had been left behind. So while they treated me like a pearl to the public, I was mainly an extra mouth to be fed which barely even saw enough food to eat, and was made to sleep in the basement while they were even better rooms than I could count. Funny ho
Huling Na-update : 2024-11-22Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Offer
Nortia's POV “ You don't know how happy I am to see you here, Nortia” she uttered when we were alone, while flashing a smile at me. I rolled my eyes at her, at how effortlessly she was acting, and how pretentious she was. “ Get off this, aunty, we are all alone so there is no need for this pretense anymore” I tried to push past her when she said. “You know Samantha is engaged now, so it is only right that you do the same and I think I should make a choice since I have been like a mother to you all these while” A mother? Was she even being right? When exactly did she ever act like one? To me at that? “ Go on a blind date” “ What?” “Go on a blind date, I have the perfect person for you, you are single so it will work out…” “ I wouldn't be single if your daughter didn't take my bf away from me” I answered her when her brows crested at me. “ Your bf? You had a man? Who Maxwell?” She burst out into a peal of laughter,a hand against her chest as she did. I listened as the door cr

Nortia's POV My nails dug into my palm when he beamed at me. “You always have the habit of running off whenever I want to talk to you, are you going to do so again?” I gulped in my spittle at his words, why exactly was he making it look like we had done anything serious? “ Who is he? Were you cheating on me?!” Maxwell demanded as he glanced at me. “ You can't do this to me, you can't cheat on me, you have to stay by my side, no matter what” I let out a sigh, does he know how stupid he sounded?“How does it feel to be beaten at your game?” He took a step forward, attempting to stroll over when he was held back. “You wouldn't do such” “ Oh, you don't know me as you thought you do, I bet you are not the only one who knows how to, I wish you a happy life with Samantha, one that has you both in tears always” The stranger cackled, his eyes held admiration as he stared at me when I rushed off. “ You can't cheat on me,” Maxwell rushed after me. “ You can't leave me either, no on

Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman figurehead
Nortia's POV The glances on their faces told me they weren't expecting me and I knew that they had planned something else behind my back or rather, they were about to. Taking the seat just across from my uncle, I paid no heed to the scoffs and whispers as I did. My uncle gnashed his teeth beside me but that was only going to be the first, because I had numerous things in mind to make him pay for. Hopefully, my presence here will make things better. If he decided to do anything contrary to what I was expecting, I would have a great time thwarting whatever plan it was they had. “ Well” I glanced around, making sure everyone met my eyes before locking both hands together. “ What was it that you were talking about that had you chatting so amicably?” I threw it at them waiting for an answer but it seems they were all tongue tied. I didn't expect my uncle to change so soon, na, the devil will always have his spit and my uncle was no different, but even at that, I had expected him to ke
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Guilt
Nortia's POVThose words, the one where he had urged me to go ahead and conquer was something I hadn't been told, I knew everything about him felt so different. It was difficult to place my hand on these emotions, the different ones that filled my mind but I nodded anyway, listening to what he was saying. I guess this was what it meant to have a father, that space in you that outweighs every single thing, I was tempted to have him in my arms, let him yank me into his while patting my back, and as hard as I tried, I couldn't make the move to do so, so when he approached, grasping me closer to himself, my hand fell limp by my side. “ Thank you” I mouthed out in gratitude, chewing on my lips before I added. “Father” He yanked me away immediately, placing tender kisses on my forehead before he looked above my shoulders. “Will you be going with her?” He directed at Alexis. “ No, I can handle this myself. He has a company to tend to and I wouldn't want to disrupt anything” I explaine
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Make things right
Alexis's POV I watched, all of the discussions, a hand draped across my wife's waist as I listened to her interaction with Samantha who obviously had lost what I would have termed as shame. One would have thought that being caught on camera would have them standing back and staying out of the public but I guess you can't beat the shameless. She looked like she was going to lurge toward my wife and I waited for her to do so, I wasn't going to fight but I knew Nortia was no pushover either. She might have been before me but not anymore. Now, she was a woman of herself, one who could handle them by herself needing little or no help from me. “What did you just say?” Maxwell was the one who had asked while Samantha's eyes fell to the ground before she held Maxwell's. “She killed who?” “George” Nortia's voice reverberated, bouncing off against the wall as she repeated, her lips curled into a smirk. Maxwell's face flinched before he turned to Samantha demanding. “You killed him? Not
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Nemesis
Nortia's POVI didn't know where I had gotten the nerves but I sat still, peering at him as I pondered on what he would do. He slammed his lips over mine, sliding his tongue in between my lips as he kissed me, a hand wrapped around my waist. “Alex” I muttered, racking a hand through his hair as I did, throwing caution to the wind. His hands ran through me before he knelt, lips on my boobs and he sucked, flickered, and licked it. My toes curled as I threw my head backward, the tension weaving through me while I tried to muster out the words that had stuck in my lips. A bit on my boobs sent tiny jolts crackling through me before I let out a heave barely trying to grasp him onto myself. “You look….” He had pulled away, taking a proper glance at me as he did. “Astonishing” My clit pursed at his words, when he slipped a finger in-between my legs, still maintaining his gaze at me. Nudging me gently against the bed, a yelp left my lips as he straddled me before positioning his cock i
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman tales
Nortia's POVI had a hand wrapped around myself as I peered outside, glancing so hard against the vast greenery which laid in front of me while envisioning Alexis walking up to me, wrapping a hand around my waist before snuggling against my neck. The hand tightened even closer before I let out a sigh at how desperately futile everything would turn out to be. The presenter spoke in the background, William's shares were stabilized while the Louis kept depleting with each moment that passed. I knew I had decided to meet with Samantha but I had a second thought at the last minute, she should be made to suffer even if it was a tiny bit on what she had done. She had killed someone, one who didn't hold anything against her and I would be stupid to go right now, telling her not to fall into her father's cocooned lies. To think those were all sentiments, he was the last person I thought would hurt her, because I knew he loved her so well, so why would he want to make her pay for this? M
