Love Beyond The Contract Catching Up With My Ex
Olivia's POVI stretched groggily out of bed, rubbing my sleepy eyes with the back of my palm and stared at the clock hung by the sparkling white wall. It was half past five. I have just thirty minutes to get dressed up to meet Liam, the love of my life.It's been a hectic day at work today. I've worked my ass off since morning and had decided to take a few hours off, to unwind and to have some rest before I go catch up with Liam.I got out of bed hastily and went to the bathroom sink, to have a quick face wash, before I began applying makeup to my face. I sure needed to look good for my sweetheart. It took me only a few minutes to do that and after which, I stood elegantly and stared at my reflection at the mirror. “Stunning!” I muttered with a satisfied grin.My dressing and make up was simple and at the same time, exquisite. I had packed my mid-brown lush hair into a neat ponytail to contrast with my make up and dressing. My red dress was form-fitting and it did well to accentuate
Love Beyond The Contract Unnecessary Drama
Evelyn's POV “You should leave for the mall to shop for the groceries and clothes now!” Liam reminded me, at about five minutes to six in the evening. “Sure, I will,” I replied with a smile, a smile that masked the real feeling I felt within. I found it all too glaring that he was so keen about my going to the mall at the exact time he had wanted me to. Was he a stickler for time, or did he have other plans I knew nothing about? Whichever way, I jolted up to my feet and took a few strides to the centre piece, where he had kept the long strip of white paper, in which he specified the items he had wanted me to purchase, their quantities and their prices, and the credit card he placed beside it. His rules were strict and prudent, I wondered whether he was a spendthrift. ‘Don't pay for what you won't use! Don't spend more than three thousand bucks!’ I had rehearsed them at intervals inwardly, to ensure that I memorized them, so I didn't get on his nerves at the end of the day.
Love Beyond The Contract Truth Revealed
Liam's POV “What the hell is she doing here?” Olivia snapped angrily at me. I kept mum, my gaze fixed to the black and white patterned floor. I never expected Evelyn to be back so soon, despite the neverending list of items I had sent her to purchase from the mall. Now, how would I tell Olivia that I was already married to the lowlife that even wouldn't qualify to be a maid in my house? How could I explain that it wasn't my fault? “Are you married to her already?” Olivia asked impatiently. My heart pounded hard in my chest. I don't want to ruin my relationship that I have spent so many years building, not when we're on the bridge of getting back together. I also didn't want to make the poor woman's life more miserable. Evelyn has been loyal to me, despite how badly I treated her. Although I had stated it clearly to her right from day one, that there were no feelings and no commitment in this marriage, I knew she deserved better. “I'm talking to you,” Olivia grew aggressive
Love Beyond The Contract Surprise
Liam's POV “Where am I? What am I doing here?” I asked, darting my eyeballs from side to side.A youngman in a white oversized lab coat, with a stethoscope hung across his neck, stood beside my bed, smiling weirdly at me. His bright smile didn't do much to lessen my anxiousness.“You're in the hospital, sir. You hit your head and got severely injured. Don't worry, you'll be fine,” he answered, still smiling.“You're lucky your wife brought you in here on time. You would have lost your life, if she hadn't,” he explained further.“What? My wife? Which wife?” My head was totally blank.I tried hard to recall the events of the previous day, but my memory failed me. All I could remember was running into the shower and nothing else. My restless hands wandered about and reached for my forehead, only to find it bandaged. So many thoughts flooded through my mind.“Yes, your wife. Why are you so surprised? She's in the waiting room,” the doctor said and left to call her.Evelyn walked in quick
Love Beyond The Contract 'Is This Love?'
Evelyn's POV“Oh my… Goodness!” My eyes widened with shock as I stepped into my room. “All of these for me? This is super expensive!”“Oh yeah they're all yours. You deserve even more! Thank you for saving my life,” I heard Liam say from behind.Was I dreaming? I thought he hated me. Why the sudden show of generosity? Did I really deserve all of these?I grabbed the rose flower and held it close, while looking through the gift box. My eyes caught sight of a folded white paper slipped into the giftbox. I quickly unfolded it and read what was written on it inwardly.I felt so emotional as I read through the tiny paper. Teardrops trickled down my eyes, wetting the paper, even before I was done with reading it.“You deserve the best, Evelyn. I'm so sorry I had treated you wrongly all these while,” Liam apologized.“Thank you so much, sir,” I replied, my vision blurred with tears.“C'mon, you shouldn't call me ‘sir’ for goodness sake. I'm your husband, you can call me Liam,” Liam said, to
Love Beyond The Contract Turnaround Of Events
“Are you pregnant?” He asked again, in a hoarse tone I was breathing very fast. My cheeks reddened as I stared at his flushed face. “Did you suddenly go deaf? Are you pregnant?” He reiterated, with a harsher tone. I quivered at the coldness in his expression. My fingers were shaky and my palms grew sweaty. “I…I'm sorry, I…” I stuttered. “Tell me the truth. Are you pregnant or not?” Liam asked again. “I'm sorry sir. I… I don't know what is wrong with me,” I muttered, with trembling lips. “Look here, I'm not in for any jokes of yours this early morning. Did you use the pills that night?” Liam asked, sternly. Liam's frightening gaze was fixed at me. I lowered my gaze immediately and swallowed hard. How would I tell him that I only wanted to keep his child? Was it my fault that I loved children? “N…No… I…I sorry please,” I stammered. Liam clenched his teeth in fury and glared at me with contempt. “We'll go see the doctor right away, to put an end to that stupid thing
Love Beyond The Contract Bombshell
Striding towards the staircase, I could hear their loud irritating moans. My heart clenched in fury. Each time I get on his nerves, he goes to bring in the other woman. Was this it? Why was he always a jerk?I crawled up to my room slowly and laid down on my weary bed, the pains I felt in my heart still hurting me. I needed to do something about this, but what could I do?I closed my eyes tightly, inviting sleep, but sleep never did come. The thought of Liam ramming into another woman won't let me sleep. But why do I feel this way when he had stated it clearly from the start that there should be no feelings in this marriage? Why do I find it so difficult to move on with it?I waited patiently for their moans and groans and the slapping sounds from their sweaty bodies to cease, but it never seemed to. Irritated, I got up from my bed and went downstairs to try watching some movies on the living room's television, to clear my head from the thoughts of what was going on.While the movies
Love Beyond The Contract 'Is She Pregnant?'
Liam's POVThat pathetic creature is pregnant for me. I'm done for. How dare she go against the rules of this marriage? How could she be so creepy?Just the moment I decided to reciprocate her kind gestures and to see her in a different light, she messed up so badly. I can't take this anymore. What would be the fate of my company if the media finds out about it? CEO Liam Wright chooses his miserable one-night-stand third-rate model as a mother of his kids, over his fiancée, right?Returning from the hospital, I left again, this time to Olivia's place, my go-to person each time I feel distressed. I already knew right from time, that she was only fawning around me because of my money and fame, to boost up her career. It was all too glaring, too evident. Since the money was always available and never ending, I decided to have my own pound of flesh; her gorgeous svelte but curvy body, which was nothing to be compared with Evelyn's heavily-built sturdy one.I had already told Olivia that o

Love Beyond The Contract Strange Woman
I could hardly wait for my antenatal care session to be done with. I've had just enough of everything. I should have just ended it all long ago, that way I wouldn't be involved in this mess. Just when I lost hope, Frank waltzed back into my life and instilled a fresh hope and now he's leaning me shattered and heartbroken.“Miss Lisa, come forward, please,” the doctor motioned to me, indicating that it was my turn to be attended to.“Okay, doctor!” I said and moved to the chair opposite him.He outlined the necessary medication and suitable meals, rich in various nutrients that should be taken by me. I thanked him and left afterwards, after giving Evelyn one last scrutinizing gaze.Frank was supposed to drive me back home. He had said he'd report at the hospital in thirty minutes' time, but unlike him, he didn't show up even after more than an hour's time. I wasn't so bothered about that anyway. He was the cause of the heaviness I felt in my heart and I wouldn't want to have anything
Love Beyond The Contract Dark Secrets
“It's another day to go see the doctor!” Frank reminded me, with a kiss on my forehead.Getting out of bed, I stretched groggily and slipped into my flip flops and took to the bathroom to get ready for the day's antenatal session. I carried out all my daily routine and in about an hour, Frank dropped me off at the hospital and left afterwards.I strode heavily into the doctor's office for some medical check-up before I proceeded to thehospital's gynecology section, where the antenatal care was being provided. “Good morning, doctor!” I greeted with a faint smile, as soon as I got into his office.“Morning, ma'am. Welcome to my office,” The doctor replied curtly, raising his gaze to meet me, his eyes particularly on my protruded belly.“Your pregnancy is advancing smoothly,” he observed, although I felt might have meant the opposite- The pregnancy had brought me so much pain and mental stress.“How about your husband? He didn't come in here with you?”“My husband?” I blinked with skept
Love Beyond The Contract Plans For Dad
The doctor handed the test results to Frank, his face lit with a smile. I already knew my fate and so I didn't need to wait for the doctor to announce the outcome of the DNA test. I was more bothered about dad's stern punishment, about how mum would feel if I eventually get cut off from their lives.“The test results confirm that you're the rightful father of the child!” The doctor finally said those words I never wanted to hear, although I already knew they were true.“Thank you so much doctor,” Frank muttered, exchanging handshakes with the doctor.“You're welcome,” the doctor said and left us to ourselves“You see it, I told you I was the child's father and you denied it. Now you see, I'm right. It's been confirmed,” Frank ranted boastfully.I rolled my eyeballs in disdain and glanced at him, wondering why he was all cheerful, despite knowing the fire consequences that awaited me as a result.“Frank, it seems you don't really understand what's going on with my family right now. Did
Love Beyond The Contract Unexpected Fate
I heard the sound of a familiar car drive into the compound and blare its horn loudly as it parked. Peeking through the curtained window in my room upstairs, my eyes met a familiar sight. Frank's Lamborghini was parked out there. He alighted and stood by it. My heart thumped as caught a glimpse of him. He was absolutely breathtaking! He was dressed smartly in casual good-looking clothes and wore dark shades that did well to shield a good proportion of his tough face. I've never seen him look so good before. It looked like he dressed specifically to impress me. He was here to pick me up and I was all set, waiting for his arrival since early morning. Frank stomped his feet impatiently as he stood by his car and pulled out his phone, probably to give me a call. I smiled and reached for my phone quickly even before it rang. “Hello baby!” He greeted me. “Hi! I'm coming to meet you downstairs. Just a moment,” I said, with a smile “Alright, I'd be waiting!” He replied and hung
Love Beyond The Contract Settling Bills
Frank took a few steps closer to me, placing his hand back on my shoulder. I decided to stay put this time. He gently tugged some strands of hair behind my ear and turned to look directly into my eyes.“Look baby, I know the circumstances that brought us together are quite questionable, I just want you to know that I genuinely care about you and our baby. I won't do anything to hurt you anymore. I promise, believe me,” he pleaded, his eyes graced with genuine sincerity.I felt dreamy as I stared on, my eyes well with tears. I've never felt so in love before. He's a monster, yet I won't deny that I'm falling for him already. He might not be the perfect human, but he's perfect for me.“I miss my parents so much. I'm sure they'll be expecting me back soon. I haven't even sorted out the hospital bills,” I whimpered.A teardrop rolled down one eye and then another in the second eye. He wiped them off caringly and wrapped me in his comforting arms.“Don't cry please! I'd pay the bills.” He

“Wake up, baby!” A masculine voice jolted me out of my peaceful sleep.I flickered my eyes for a moment and shut them back, to think properly. Who is he and how did I get here?“Dad?” I stared at him searchingly, my eyebrows contorted.He giggled at me, like I was making some joke. “Don't tell me you've forgotten your Daddy so soon! Your baby's daddy as well,” he teased and chuckled with a mirthless laughter. “Oh!” The events of last night began replaying in my mind.“I didn't die? Why did I follow him? Did he sleep with me?” I muttered to myself.“You'd have preferred to die than follow me last night, you mean? Don't you care about my baby?” He interrupted my thoughts. “Well, we spent the night together, if you must know. But don't be afraid I didn't touch you.”I blinked in disgust. His presence disgusted me, as much as his words did.“It's my baby not yours, please. Get that stuck into your brains!" I clarified.“Don't worry, we'd get to find out who the rightful father is soon e
Love Beyond The Contract My Baby's Daddy
“What exactly is wrong with you? Why would you think of killing yourself?” he frowned disheartenedly. I bowed my head in regret. His piercing gaze shot at me and I couldn't withstand it any more.“I… I'm sorry. I won't try it again.” I faltered, wondering why I felt indebted to the man who caused me so much pain.“Get her into the car!” He said, gesturing to the other man.“I won't!” I backed off, unwilling to go with them.“Let's go, please. I have a surprise for you!” He said excitedly.“A surprise for me? What surprise?“Yes, you'll find out about it later. Let's go first!”Hesitantly, I strode to the car where my tormentor stood and got in. My mind was too busy to think of anything else to do. He joined in the car, sitting next to me, while the other man drove.“You think you could run away from me, huh?” He asked, his husky voice reminding me of that night.“Look, I don't know where you're taking me to, but that doesn't give you the right to question me unnecessarily.” I blurred
Love Beyond The Contract Suicidal Thoughts
I stare blankly into the empty space, the nothingness shook within me, an unpleasant feeling of self-pity, when I remember my predicament; how my life had turned upside down all of a sudden, how life had dealt treacherously with me. I wished my world could be different. Different from the nagging voices in my head that reminded me daily of my struggle, pain and lingering sorrow, and of the imperfections that embraced my world.Mum and Dad are still in the hospital, not because they're still ailing, but because I can't afford to foot the both bills and now I haven't been able to attend the antenatal sessions the doctor recommended for me, just because I can't pay off my pending debts. What a shame!I had no other person to run to. The few relatives I know, I don't relate well with them, especially after Evelyn was sent out of this house and automatically out of our lives. Evelyn could have been of help to save my face from the embarrassment, but right now, we're not in talking terms. T
Love Beyond The Contract Loss Of Memory
After the questioning was over, I was allowed to leave, while a quite familiar man seated on the bench with me was whisked into a cell. Although I felt happy at his retribution, I couldn't help but wonder if he was really the man I had spent that splendid night with, after Lucas cheated on me. Maybe he was the one responsible for my pregnancy. Just maybe….Evening was setting in already. I boarded a taxi and got back to the hospital. Surprisingly, mum sat in the seat I was sitting in before I left the hospital. She's been discharged already. My face beamed with happiness.“Mum!” I half yelled and walked excitedly to where mum was seated.“Mum? What do you mean? Where did you go?” She snuggled me in a little and then let me sit beside her.“I'm sorry I left for the police station. I received an urgent call from them.” I said, unsure whether to go into details. “How do you feel now, Mum?” “Police station? Why the hell did you go there? Did you commit a crime?” She was left undone.“C'm
