"You have been requested by the NYC customary court of law for the case of the rightful heir to the Williams family business. Since there was no male heir, and since Miss Angelina Williams has also failed to bore a male heir, neither has she been married, there would be a court case of handling the Williams company to a capable male relative. You have the right to a lawyer. Since the couple had no WILL due to their untimely and unexpected exit, the court will have to emerge a new CEO for the Williams company. Please you are also expected to be present on the 25th of January, 2022 being a week today at the court as requested by this writ of summon.Signed by the magistrate of the NYC customary court.""Just when you think they couldn't get any cornier and greedy." She murmured to herself smacking her mouth. then she chucked, dropping the papers carelessly on the floor and hitting her hands on her bed with frustration. she stroke her hair and took a deep breath."how pathetic and disappointing." She said with a confident smirk on her face.she then headed straight to the showers. In about 15mins time she was out. She quickly dried up and headed to her waldrop. Tossed around a few clothes before picking out a short red desighner gown that hugged her body and was just a few inches below her thighs. The gown had reddish black lace on the knee pattern, with one armless shoulder.************"Miss Angel... Miss Angel... Miss Angel are you alright?" James asked, distracting Angel from her thoughts."Wh...what? Ofcourse James, everything is perfect." She replied. But she didn't sound so convincing to James. Rather, it was as if he heard the direct opposite of her words."You've barely said a word since we left the house, neither are you taken any of your calls. You know if there's anything bordering you can relate with me." James assured her."Why don't you just pay attention to the road." She commanded James. And with her tone, one could think he was the cause of her bad mood."Okki...dokki. ouch. Men that hurt my heart bad." He said jokingly, touching his heart as if there were wounds on it. Again, she was moved by his sweet ascent. It sounded rather charming and romantic.She looked through the drivers mirror to see his expression, to make sure whether he was really offended by her words, but didn't want him to notice. Instead, she met his gaze and was lost in it for some moment."Yeah...""Yeah..." They muttered in the same tone and same time, busting out in laughter."I don't want to border you with my burdens. Thanks for the concern." She replied James."Well I don't know if you know, but I'm kind of a carrier of burdens. Just drive them in and drive them out." He joked again. Making her to release a giggle."Well mister burden carrier, are you trying to refer me, your client as a burden?" She questioned. Trying to get words off his mouth."You know that wasn't what I was getting at." He replied. Trying to redeem himself. They both giggled at the same time."It's just that, you're one of the youngest, most elegant and gorgeous, breathtaking, and bravest CEO I've ever met. I'm not trying to flatter you but it's true." He indirectly reassured her of her abilities with the intention of making her feel more confident. In his mind, he was certain that something serious must have happened to trigger her bad mood. He concluded in his mind that it must be from the mail she got this morning. He felt for her, but didn't want to pry in her personal affairs."Are you trying to be sweet or what? James. I appreciate you trying to boost my spirit, but you'll have to do better than that, because I'm far better than all that you've mentioned." She bragged. Though she was serious about being more than what he had described her to be, to James, it felt like a play."No seriously, it's that all you see when you look at me? Ah... I'm so hurt right now. You just made me feel worse than I already did." She ended. James was speechless. He wanted so much to yell how ungrateful and prideful she was but couldn't.There was a total silence throughout the remaining drive to the office. Immediately they reached the office. She didn't wait for james to come open the door for her, she went down banging the door, and went straight into her office.Kaugnay na kabanata
Just a Contract Lover? Chapter 3- how it started
***********"How dare you utter such! I am not getting rid of my baby and that's final, so do your worst." Kelly said out of spite."You little bitch, be very careful with your words. You don't want me to remind you what am capable of. You know I have no limits when it comes getting what I want." Demion threatened."Your threats mean nothing to me anymore. I've told you to do your worst." Kelly said. Her feet were practically trembling in fear. Her body was ice cold and goosebumps filled her body. She tried to seem tough on the outside, but within her, she knew how evil the man standing at her front is. She turned to leave the room but he caught hold of her arm."Let go. You're hurting me." She mustered, trying to free herself from his tight grip."Don't try to fight it. I know how much you're dying to have me to yourself. Even going to the extent of betraying your sweet sister. But don't worry, I'm not a total monster to abandon you. It is also my child we're talking about here anyway

Buzz! Buzz!! Buzz!!!Buzz! Buzz!! Buzz!!!Angel was awoken by the sound of her alarm. She had set the alarm on time as so not to miss or be late to court. "Alright, alright, alright I'm getting up." She mustered, hitting the alarm unconsciously repeatedly to make the buzzing stop. "Oooh... that's cold." She was faced with a gush of cold breeze from her window. It was practically freezing out there. She gritted her teeth as she quickly rushed to shut the window. She massaged her two arms with her palms to feel warm. Her body was filled with goosebumps.She forced herself to the showers despite the cold. After awhile she was out and dried up. She went and stood in the mirror with her hair wrapped with a white towel and so was her body."You're beautiful... You're courageous... Be confident... Be fearless... and don't let them see your weakness." She recited to herself, trying to prepare herself for the worst situation which could be her on the verge of loosing everything that belonged

Angel ended up claiming that she was engaged and about to be wedded to protect her father's company when the court threatened to hand over the company to her father's immediate younger brother, Mr Benjamin Williams. Mr Benjamin was in his early 40's, but he still looked like a teenager. No gray hair could be spotted on his head.In essence, she was given two months deadline to be wedded.***********"Wow madam. I never knew I was so insignificant in your life that I didn't even know about you dating any man. I've never even seen you familiarizing with any man and I'm 24/7 around you. Not to talk of you getting engaged. When did all that even happen?" Grace continued with the endless questions and clamoring and she wasn't going to stop until she gets answers. Grace has been working with Angel's family ever since she was just a 16years old. She was first employed as a cleaner, but when Mr William saw her zeal and enthusiasm in books and education, he decided to sponsor her education. S

"This is the amended contract. You only have to pretend that we're lovers in the presence of others, no intimacy no nothing. Both parties must not get emotional or be seen with another partner. Since you have a good business going on, I wouldn't want to stop you from expanding. Here..." She handed the contract to Eddie."You can go through it at your own convenient time, but it must not exceed today. If there's any other thing you'd like to discuss about the contract you let my manager know." She looked at Grace."And one more important thing, this contract must be a secret between only the three of us present here. No one must know about it." She concluded and made her leave."oooh... I'm so scared." He said with sarcasm."Excuse me, did you say something?" She asked."I mean, if we're going to start pretending we're lovers, how well do you think you can keep up with this attitude. I mean no offense but you need to loosen up." She opened her mouth to protest but felt her tongue cut.

"Hi... Hi... Hi." Angel continued to greet her guest. As she passed them, they would start to chatter and murmur some gossip about her. Most of the ladies present envied her, some jealoused her, while others admired her. She was a typical example of the most elegant, beautiful, competent and successful female CEO they've encountered."Hey... Well if isn't the famous Angel."Angel turned around to know who it was that spoke to her."Uhm... I'm sorry do I know you?" She asked in confusion."Really? You mean you don't recognize this gorgeous face?" The lady asked. As she removed her mask, Angel was bondazzled. She was pleased with who she saw. She wore a big smile on her face."Tracy." She called out in shock."How long has it been? Gosh you look tentastic." Complimented the lady who seemed to have known or been close to Angel before. They hugged and air kissed each other and busted out laughing."You don't look so bad yourself Tracy. What about your husband? Is he here with you?" Angel w

It was a cold and heart-felt night with an intense atmosphere. "I think I'm ready to go home now." Angel uttered sadly. Standing straight, with her chin up."Is everything okay?" Asked James with a worried look on his face."And who's this?" Angel finally paid attention to the fine young lady standing with James."Is he your driver? Gosh, he is so handsome." The lady complimented with a giggle. Her cheeks were all red and her eyes glittering. "Nevermind. She was just about leaving." He then turned to the lady. "It was really nice meeting you. Take care now." He dismissed her. The lady didn't seem so happy that her night with James ended too shortly as she had other plans for the night with him. She shrugged and wore a sad frown on her face. Then finally walked away.James quickly unlocked the car then went and held the back door open for Angel to enter.Angel eyed him dramatically as she slowly entered the car."What was that all about. It just gave me a fright?" James thought inwar

Angel yawned as she sat up from her bed. She stretched her two arms wide then her whole body."Urgh... My head aches." She grumbled, massaging her full, soft, curly hair with the tips of her fingers. She finally opened her eyes but to meet blurry and unstable images."Where am I?" She mumbled. She wiped her eyes with her two hands then tried reopening her eyes. And this time, the images where a bit clearer."When did I get here?" She asked in astonishment seeing herself back in her room. Then she peeped under her sheets to know if she was still in her work outfit, but to her surprise, she was in her white lilyn cotton night wear. She was about to panic before a knock came to her door, and before she could answer it, the door creaked open."Oh... You're awake." Grace said nervously."Why wouldn't I be?" Angel finally got up and headed for her window. She opened the floral white cottons allowing rays of sunlight to shine through her room."What happened last night? I can't remember a th

"Hey! Where are you rushing off to? I've been looking everywhere for you." Angel rushed James who was in a haste. She noticed the sad look on his face and immediately hid the contract paper on her hand."What's wrong?" She asked feeling concerned."I have a friend who's been hospitalized I need to go see. I'm the only one she has. Please permit me to take the day off." He pleaded."Oh. Hope it's not too bad?" She asked with concern. James only shook his head in response."Okay, please take good care then." She replied. She had wanted to tell James about the contract, but it seemed not to be the best time for that. She felt a little disappointed after she had summoned the courage and practiced lines to use."Let me come with you. I can drive you. I don't think you're in a good state to drive anyway." Angel said as she grabbed James by the hand when he turned to leave. She insisted to go with him on seeing how tensed up James was."Oh, there's no need. I can manage." He replied"I insis

Meanwhile, at Eddies home. They were already at the dinner table. They were just four people at the table- Eddie, his mom, Dad and another lady- but the table had more space for more ten. It was a very big diner. Eddies parents sat directly opposite each other from a each end of the table. Eddie himself sat directly opposite from the lady at the middle."Kelly, how's your studies going?" Eddies mother asked. "Oh, I heard you got accepted into Harvard's. It's that true?" Eddies mom asked pleasantly. They had or rather she had arranged for Eddie to marry Kelly because they were both from rich families."Yeah Mrs Smith." Kelly answered with a wide smile. She seemed very proud of herself. At the glance at Eddie, she met a hateful look and composed herself."Eddie here is doing quite well himself. This must be fate. Did Eddie ever tell you he is a graduate if Harvard himself? I was so proud of him seeing him stand confidently and handsomely on the stage as they handed him his certificate d

Angel waited for James till he was done. James didn't want to tell his mom about Lizzy's passing, but she got a hint of the situation with her adult instincts, and decided not to talk about it. Also, the change in James' altitude, his expression and inability to talk as much as he used to or cheer her on gave away everything."Come here son." Mrs Jose, James mother said in a sad tone. Stretching her two arms forward to hug James. James hugged her so tight that he almost busted out in tears again. He sobbed as his mom patted his back."Dear dear, everything's going to be A'okay. Momma's here for you." His mom tried as hard as she could to compose herself. She wanted to be strong for James and not just be a useless mother lying helplessly on a sick hospital bed.James doubted the words that his mom spoke. He felt hopeless. It was as if he had lost everything he had been fighting for. It was finally getting late and James kissed his mom on the forehead and left.***********There was an
