CHAPTER 5: THE OFFER
THIRD PERSON POVAfter his work, one of Alexander's fling called him so he invited her to his condo because he is a bit bored and tired so he wants some relaxation and he knows that only a girl can satisfy him now.Alexander is a playboy because he never entered a serious relationship since his ex-girlfriend left him.That is why since then, he has never committed to a girl and only plays with different girls especially when he is bored."Aahhh…" the girl moaned while she was doing a hot session with Alexander while he was on top of her pounding so hard.Alexander is so good in bed that is why there are a lot of girls chasing him and begging him to take them into bed.He is almost there and he simply wiped his sweat on his face when someone knocked on his door all of a sudden.He just frowned and immediately got irritated because someone is disturbing them from what they are doing right now."Finish it quick bro, I have something important to tell you," someone said behind the door.And Alexander already knew who the person was and he just burst out a curse and continued his business besides they were almost done with their session.___“Tsk, what do you need from me Axel?""You know what, you are really in good timing and you are just lucky because I successfully finished my release or else I will definitely punch your face hard,” Alexander simply said with an irritated voice because his younger brother just disturb him earlier.His girl already left his condo because she has no choice.That is why she is so annoyed and frustrated because she did not stay longer with Alexander.“HAHAHA, relax bro. I am here to remind you about your inheritance because dad said you need to get married as soon as possible to ensure your future.""And I just don’t want him to force me to get married instead of you so if you don’t want to make dad do the work for you, then you have to hurry and find a girl to marry,” Axel simply reminded Alexander about his inheritance.Well, Alexander already knew that matter but the thing is he can’t find a perfect woman to marry.Because even though he is a playboy and has a lot of girls, he still doesn't want to marry a random girl because he doesn't want to have a problem in the future.“Don’t worry about that because my assistant already gave me a list of women that I can possibly marry but I just did not check it yet,” Alexander simply said with a bored tone.Because if he will be the one who can decide, he will not get married yet and just enjoy his life being single.But he has no choice because that is what his father wants in exchange of his full inheritance.“Hays, what took you so long bro? How about the woman earlier, don’t you want her to be your wife?""And also, I am sure that you have a lot of girls so why don’t you just choose among your flings so that your problem will be solved?” Axel just suggested.But Alexander immediately shook his head as a sign of disagreement because he doesn’t really like that idea.“Tsk, I don’t want to marry those kind of girls because they are just all after my money and they are just for bed to satisfy my lust and nothing really more than that,” Alexander honestly said with a serious voice.Because he is just telling the truth to Axel and he still want to marry a girl who is decent enough and really deserving to be his wife and no one on his flings passed his criteria."You know what, you are so picky bro so I am just hoping that you will find a girl that you can marry as soon as possible because I am just concerned with you.""Ofcourse, you already know our dad, he hates waiting so if you want to have your inheritance, then get married immediately before dad change his mind and give to me the inheritance instead, HAHAHA,” Axel simply said while laughing.Because he is just teasing Alexander but the truth is he is not really interested with the inheritance because he just want to have a simple life.That is why he has no position in their company because it is his choice so he just let his brother manage their company.“Tsk I know, so you don’t have to get worried about me because I can handle that matter so you better leave my condo now before I will lose my patience with you, understand that?” Alexander just said to Axel with a warning tone.So Axel just shook his head and laughed at his brother because he really has a short patience with him every time.___NATASHA POV“Hey Natasha, are you with me?” Mr. Montilva asked me and that made me come back to reality.Damn, I have been really absent minded since I came to work today because I am still problematic about money that I should find by today because I need to pay the down payment to the hospital.I am just thankful that my mother had a successful operation and she is already stable now.She gains consciousness and they transfer her to a private room and she needs to stay at the hospital for a few days to monitor her condition.That is why I am sure that we will need money again when she can go home already.I seeked help from my best friends and they already lent me their extra money but it is still not enough for my mother's hospital bills so I am now going crazy on thinking where can I find money.I heaved a sigh, my life really sucks now.“Ahm I’m sorry sir, what are you saying again?” I just asked Mr. Montilva with an apologetic face because I am not focusing on my work now.He just frowned and heaved a sigh before answering my question to him.“I said, have you already finished the report that I told you to work on?” he simply repeated his question to me.Shocks! I am not finished yet with that because I am so preoccupied with my problem that is why I can’t focus on my work.I just heaved a sigh with just the thought of it.“Ahm, I’m sorry sir but can you give me more time to finish it because I am not yet done with it sir,” I admitted to him.And I just got shy because I am so irresponsible and I am feeling that I am not being a good and efficient secretary with him.“Oh is that so? It’s okay Natasha you can finish it by tomorrow but are you okay?""You seemed to have something in your mind. Do you have a problem? You know, you can tell me because maybe I can help you,” he simply asked me with a worried face.And I don’t know why I felt like I found a solution to my problem all of a sudden because he is right, maybe he can help me.Besides he has a lot of money so maybe I can borrow with him right?I heaved a deep sigh and swallowed my pride even if it is so embarrassing because I have no choice now.“Ahm sir, the thing is I have a big problem. You remember yesterday?""I left because my mother got hospitalized and now I have to pay for her bills at the hospital but I don’t know where I should find the money,” I just admitted to him with a shy face.“Ohh yeah I remember it, so how was your mom? Is she already alright?” he just asked me curiously.I took a deep breath, it is really embarrassing to borrow money from my boss but I don’t know anyone who has money that can help me with my problem besides my boss.“She is already stable, sir. Praise to God. It is just that, we need a huge amount of money to pay for her hospital bills.""And I don’t know where should I find that money that is why I can’t focus on my work now because of my problem,” I just said to him.And he just nodded to me as a response and I don’t really know what is running into his mind right now.He looked at me from head to toe and nodded consecutively and a small grin formed on his lips all of the sudden.“Ahm you know what, I think I can help you with your problem and you just need to do something for me. How about that?” he asked me.And I don’t know why I felt relieved all of a sudden because there is already a chance that my problem will be solved now.“Really sir? Will you help me? Then what can I do for you sir?” I happily asked him.And I am just hoping that he will really help me with my problem because I really need money right now.“I have an offer with you and I will give you money in one condition.” He cutted his sentence and looked at me intently.I don’t know why my heart starts to beat faster all of a sudden.Damn, what is happening to me really?I immediately shook my head to brush away what I am thinking now.“Ahm what is it sir?” I simply asked him with a curious look.And I patiently waited for his answer because I am getting nervous about it all of a sudden just to be honest here.“Marry me and be my wife Natasha,” he just said with a serious voice and my eyes literally got big now.What did he just say?! Did I hear it correctly?CHAPTER 6: MY FIANCENATASHA POVOh My Gosh! I’m so shocked with what Mr. Montilva has said to me now. I just need money but I never expected that he would offer me a marriage because it was all too sudden plus the fact that we just have known each other for a short period of time. Is he out of his mind or is he just joking around? Arrgghh! I don’t really know how to react with this just to be honest here.“W-what? Marry you and be your wife? What kind of offer is that sir?" "What do you mean by that and can you enlighten me please?” I just asked him with a confused look because I can’t really understand what he is talking about now. No, he must be joking because he doesn't really have a reason to marry me right?“Yes, you heard it right Natasha. I will give you money and in exchange of that, you have to marry me and don’t worry because I will handle our marriage." "And what important now is we need to go to the hospital and pay the bills of your mother and I want to meet your fam
CHAPTER 7: CONTRACT MARRIAGENATASHA POVMr. Montilva said that we are going to prepare for our wedding today. He called me here inside his office so that we can talk about it but until now he is still inside the private room with his attorney and I don't know what they are talking about there.Later, I will move to the condo of Mr. Montilva because as he said, he wants me to live with him already and until now, it feels so surreal with me. Because I still can't believe that I am going to be his wife anytime now but he said that it was just a contract marriage and I still don't know the details about it because he did not explain it to me yet.I heaved a sigh, my family seems to be really happy about my marriage especially my mom because she thought that we really love each other tsk but except for Camille. Because she looks like throwing a tantrum because she can't accept the fact that Mr. Montilva chose me to be his wife and I am sure that she just wants to be at my shoe right now
CHAPTER 8: UNEXPECTED VISITORNATASHA POVWe are now here at the condo of Alex and starting now, I will going to live here.It is just the both of us here in this huge condo because according to Alex, he don’t want to live with other people that is why he don’t want to hire maids so he was just alone here before. I wonder now if he survived living alone and doing all the work for himself.As a token of gratitude because of his help to me and my family, I volunteered myself to do the household chores.So that I can help him in my own way so he agreed with that and I am also glad because he let me stay in his company and still work as his secretary even if we are already married.“Woah! This bathroom is really huge and classy. It is more beautiful than my room at our house,” I just said to myself with an amazed face. I am now here at the bathroom to have my half bath and I will be going to sleep in a while.But I am not really sure if I could sleep peacefully tonight because I am still
CHAPTER 9: MEET HIS FAMILYNATASHA POVAxel entered the condo and we went to the living room and gladly, Alex already put me down and he just let me sit on the couch. I awkwardly fixed myself because I am getting nervous now because of the way Axel is staring at me right now and I don't really know what is his problem with me just to be honest here."Hey, quit staring at my wife okay? You might scare her because of your weird gazes," Alex simply said with a warning tone. And I am just wondering how this weird man can be related to him because they really have similarities with their physical features."You must be kidding me bro. Can you please explain it to me and why did she look like Abegail and how come she became your wife?" he just asked Alex with a confused face. And he seems to be really still in shock right now that he can't process what he is seeing in front of him now. Now, I am so curious who is that Abegail that they are always talking about and do I really look like h

Do you really love your wife, Alexander?”"Yes, dad. Of Course, I love my wife, that's why I married her so I hope you will accept her like how I accepted her in my life because she is the woman I promised to spend my life with."I know t
CHAPTER 11: FEELING CONFUSEDNATASHA POVMy three best friends have already left a while ago and now I am having a little problem because Alex and Brian had a little argument earlier and I am just thankful because they already settled it. Brian just told Alex to take care of me and never hurt me because he will not hesitate to punch the face of Alex if he will do that to me. That's what Brian said earlier that is why Alex is a bit irritated right now while his brows are straight and staring at me with his jaw clenched."Stay away from that arrogant guy Natasha because I don't want you to be friends with a person like that so from now on don't speak with that guy again, you understand me?" Alex said with a greeted teeth sounds really annoyed right now. This is what I am worrying about because Brian is one of my best friends so I can't stay away from him just like that."I'm sorry for what he has acted earlier and I hope you will understand him because he is just being protective with
CHAPTER 12: TRUTH OR DARENATASHA POVI slowly opened my eyes while my heart was beating so fast. Then I saw a familiar figure standing in front of us now with his jaw clenched. He is glaring at this guy with me and gladly he finally let go of me so I immediately ran to Alex while being so scared right now."Alex!" I shouted his name and ran towards him and I don't know what came up into my mind because I suddenly hugged him and then I already felt the safety inside his arms. Oh My Gosh! Thank God he came here because I got really afraid earlier and I am so scared.He hugged me back and whispered in my ear. "Don't be afraid babe, I am already here and I won't let anyone hurt you, hmm?" he simply said to me so I just nodded to him and released my hug."Hey, what is your problem dude? Don't meddle with our business because I saw this girl first so you better look for someone else, understand?" the bad guy said, sounding irritated right now. I just saw Alex glared at him with his jaw c
CHAPTER 13: NAUGHTY HUSBANDNATASHA POVWe are now at our condo and Alex's assistant drove us here because Alex is a bit tipsy now that is why he can't drive the car. I don't know why but after that question for him, he became quiet all night long and just drank in silence but I am glad that he didn't get drunk because he is just a bit tipsy right now.I remember that particular question again because I know that it was a bit personal but I did not expect that Alex actually can't answer it. That is why he just decided to drink vodka instead. What does it mean? Is he not in love right now or is he still in love with someone else? But with whom? I am sure that it was not with me because I know that he has really no feelings for me in the first place. Hays, I don't know why but I am just getting sad now because of that thought."Careful Alex," I just said to him because I am helping him right now to lay down on his bed and he is really heavy. I know that he is not that drunk but he
CHAPTER 70: HAPPY ENDINGALEXANDER POVI have never imagined that this moment will come. I am about to get married again with the same woman that I married based on a contract. Actually, we never had a divorce because I never processed our divorce papers when Natasha asked a divorce with me before. So technically we are still married but to become more formal and to make it real this time without any contract involved, I am ready to marry Natasha again. And this time I organized a grand wedding for the both us which I know that she really deserves because the first time we get married, she doesn’t even got the chance to wear a wedding gown and walked down the aisle.I am standing here in front of the altar waiting for my lovely bride. Honestly, I am getting so nervous right now because Natasha is still not here at the church. What if she has changed her mind and decided to not marry me, right?After a few more minutes, the huge door of the church opened, and it’s like a magical f
CHAPTER 69: THE PROPOSALALEXANDER POV2 YEARS LATERI have been so busy these days preparing for Alexa's second birthday. Who would have thought that my little angel is now turning two years old. Time really flies so fast and I am so thankful that we have overcome all the challenges that we encountered in our lives in the past two years.We are now living here in the mansion that I bought specially for us in order to start a new life far away from the life that we had before which is full of stress and problems. I must say that we are living happily and peacefully here. I am already content with that as long as Natasha is happy and we can watch our daughter grow up with a complete family. I couldn’t wish for more because I already have everything in my life and that is Natasha and Alexa. Ofcourse, I am still planning to have more children with Natasha and I will find the perfect timing to handle that matter. But for the meantime, I don’t want to force Natasha to sleep with me a
CHAPTER 68: MY ANGELSALEXANDER POVI feel like I am floating in the clouds right now. I can’t move my body and I feel so numb and weak. Damn, am I already dead? I remembered the last thing that I did on earth. Anthony shot the gun to Natasha but luckily my reflexes were fast so I immediately ran to her and covered her before I felt the bullet inside my body. I was shot instead of Natasha then everything went black. But before I lost my consciousness, I heard my wife’s voice begging me to wake up and not leave her. After that, I don’t know what happened next when my eyes closed.I can’t believe that my life will end just like that. I will never forgive Anthony for kidnapping my daughter and trying to shoot my wife. He’s an *ssh*le and I will swear to God that he will never find peace on earth if ever I will have the chance to meet God.But I realized that he just did that because of Abby’s favor. I know that I don’t really have a good relationship with Anthony since the beginnin
CHAPTER 67: WAKE UPNATASHA POVAfter packing my things, I immediately leave the condo while my tears keep on falling down my cheeks. Alex has left already after saying those last words to me. He did not even wait for me to leave. But, why would he do that in the first place? He already ended our contract marriage and he said that we are not affiliated with each other anymore.That fact is really giving me pain until the bottom of my heart and I feel like my world has been destroyed because the man that gave me inspiration to hold on has now given up on me.But this is my choice right? The only one left on me now to give me inspiration to hold on is my daughter. That is why I really need to get her back from those kidnappers because if that will not happen, I don’t know if I still have the reason to continue on living my life after I got separated with Alex permanently.I rode on the taxi and I immediately dialed the number that the man gave to me. After a few rings, he finally pi
CHAPTER 66: OFFICIALLY DONENATASHA POVI am now here in front of Alex’s condo. I have been standing here in front of the door for almost 20 minutes already. Going back and forth, contemplating if I should go inside and do what I need to do.I don’t know if he is home already or if my friends are still here. I don’t know, I can’t think straight right now and my heart is pounding so fast because of nervousness. I feel like I am suffocating here outside and I am not sure if I can really do what that man told me to do.I heaved a deep breath and stood up straight. I need to do this for my daughter so I should be strong for the both of us. I have already made up my mind that is why there is no turning back anymore.I went to our door and input our lock password. The door unlocked so I slowly pushed the door knob until the door opened then I went inside the condo with a watering palm.Damn, I am so scared of what will happen next after I talk to Alex about our divorce. Will he agree?
CHAPTER 65: DIVORCENATASHA POV“What do you mean by that? Why do you want me to file a divorce to Alexander?" "What did I do to you to make you do these things to me? I just want my daughter back. Please, I am begging you,” I replied to him and I couldn't contain my emotions anymore so I cried harder in front of him.“Can you stop crying, woman?! If you don’t want me to throw you out of here then you should stop crying, understand? Stop asking more questions and just do what I said!” he just answered with a raised voice.I tried harder to prevent my tears and sobs so that I will not make him mad at me even more. I cleared my throat and heaved a deep breath.“Okay, I understand. But can I see my daughter even just for a while? I just want to make sure that she is safe and I just want to know if she is really in your hands,” I said to him with a pleading voice.“Tsk, okay if you really want to see your child then I will call one of my men who is watching her right now,” he simply answ
CHAPTER 64: THE CONDITIONNATASHA POVI’m already at the place that is written on the card and the driver warned me one more time before he left me here. That is why it is really making me more nervous now just to be honest here.I looked around the place and the environment is really creepy which is giving me goosebumps right now. All I can see are wooden chairs and black plastic bags along with the scattered cigarette butts on the floor.I think the driver is right because this place really looks like a hideout for gangsters. Am I at the right place? But why am I not seeing anyone here? I just simply asked myself confused.“Hey, there! Are you Natasha Montilva?” A mysterious guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere and asked me.I looked at him from head to toe to assess if I can trust him but he looks like a true gangster himself. From his loose black shirt to his tattered baggy jeans and long hair. No doubt that I can conclude that he is a gangster.“Ah, y-yes I am. May I ask if I
CHAPTER 63: THE CARDNATASHA POVIt’s like my whole world stopped and my heart doesn’t want to keep beating the moment I found out that my daughter is missing. My poor baby, who could possibly do this horrible thing to an innocent child?“Alex, do something and find our daughter! I will never forgive myself if something bad happens to her." "Please I am begging you, find our daughter. Find Alexa and bring her back to us!” I said to Alex with a pleading voice while my tears kept falling down from my eyes.I can’t believe that my daughter will be gone just like that. We are still having a great time with her and we are still celebrating her christening yet she is missing all of a sudden.“Please just calm down, Natasha. The authorities are doing their best to find who the kidnapper is." "And I promise you that I will bring our daughter back to us no matter what happens. So stop crying now, hmm?” Alex simply answered me and rested my head on his chest.“Thank you, Alex but I just can
CHAPTER 62: KIDNAPPEDTHIRD PERSON POVToday is the Christening of Alexander Montilva’s first daughter, Alexa. Alex has prepared a grand Christening for his little princess and all of his friends, family members, and business partners are present to celebrate with them.Even his parents who don't really like Natasha for him are also present today and they are so excited to see and meet their first grandchild. Axel, his younger brother, is also present today so basically all of the Montilva Family members are present in today’s celebration.“Happy Christening to my lovely granddaughter, welcome to the Montilva Clan. Such a very cute baby!” Mrs. Montilva said happily and played with Alexa while Natasha was carrying her.“Thank you, m-mom. I’m happy that you welcome and accept my daughter in your family,” Natasha simply answered and smiled awkwardly because she knows that Alex’s mother was against their marriage before.“Ofcourse, she is Alex’s daughter and my granddaughter so she is v
