As soon as Sylvester left the spa, he drove straight to his office, giving the car key to his driver. He was tired of driving. It wasn’t something he loved but in terms of privacy, he did so himself. Josephine comprehended his fragrance a few meters away and knew Sly was around. She composed herself around her desk, touching up a little on her already perfect make-up. Josephine was pretty to the eyes. She stood 6ft, 4 inches tall doll-like eyes. She could attract a man's attention without putting in much effort.

“Mr. Norman, I have to deliver the documents to our new companies before 3pm,” she carefully laid out, not intending to incur his wrath. She knew his emotions flip when he was stressed.

“I know, and that’s why I am here. Pick them from my desk in the next twenty minutes,” he said, heading to his office without giving her another glance. Josephine was disappointed. It wasn’t as if she expected anything else but she only wished that Sly would admire her and give her even a little attention.

She could not understand how he turned a blind eye to all the efforts she put in to impress him. She has remained single for the past three years because of her boss. Since she started working for him, she broke up with her boyfriend with the hope that one day, her boss will notice her. She also turned down every guy who came her way. She was completely obsessed with her him.

However, she was among the few people who knew about his past and thought he needed time to move on. All information about the incident five years ago had been brushed under the carpet. Even the press had strangely erased every information concerning it in their database, obviously at Sly's request or threat. Money carried power and Sly used every bit of it.

As soon as Sly began to scrutinize the documents on his desk, he remembered he hadn’t taken Monica’s number. He didn’t even remember seeing the girl with a phone. Instantly, he ordered her an iPhone, the same model as his before returning to work. He managed to sign two documents before his phone rang. A smirk climbed on to his countenance when he saw James' face on the screen.

“Hey, are you gonna make it? These models are so pretty. I can arrange two for you,” James said froa the other end as soon as the call connected. Just yesterday, this sounded fun and Sly would have agreed and started making his way to the club but today, something changed.

“No, I need to rest tonight,” he responded wryly.

James knowing his friend, couldn't buy that crap. Something was amiss. “Hey, that’s strange. What happened?”

“I got married today, James,” Sly said truthfully.

“You fucken what? You mean she agreed just like that?"

“No she didn’t, but I had my way.”

“You forced her didn't you?” James snarled from his end. Just like Sly, he had no intention of getting married but he couldn't help feeling angry if Sly actually forced a woman to marry him for his gain.

“Not really. She did it to save her family’s business, but it’s just a contract for one year,” Sly smirked.

Somehow, James was excited at the contract but of Sly's marriage. He couldn't help the loneliness he would feel if Sly was genuinely married. “Marriage contract, then let’s have some fun,” James insisted.

“No, I have to pick her from the spa in an hour.”

“Since when did you become a responsible husband?” Before Sly could answer, Josephine walked in.

“I will call you later,” Sly hung up without waiting for James's response. 

He handed two of the files to Josephine.

“You can check these, while I sign the rest.” Josephine took the files and sat across him. Being his secretary for three years, she has spent times like this with him but this time, something wasn’t right. 

Josephine’s dress was V-shaped from the top, leaving parts of her cleavage exposed. Sly finished working on the remaining files and lifted his head to meet the seductive sight in front of him but his eyes moved just as quickly as it caught the sight.

“These are the remaining files. You can send them now,” emphasized, handing over the third folder to her. Josephine knew she was being dismissed and reluctantly left his office flushed. What can she do to just get his attention? Perhaps, she has to work harder.

Sly left the office as soon as he was done. It confused Josephine. Her boss usually stayed long in the office and even though he didn’t give her the attention she wanted; she enjoyed his presence. She felt an emptiness when he left, his scent lingering on.

***************

Monica took her time to admire the enormous saloon. There were both men and women getting make-overs. She didn’t have to be told that everyone there was upper class. From their appearance and pasture, nothing was hidden. Either way, the workers matched the clients. Their work was swift and professional. They knew what to do without being told. Every client had at least two attendants but Monica seemed to have four.  She guessed they wanted to finish before Sly arrived. No need to ask why. Even she did not want to incur his wrath the second time.

The more, the faster the speed. The internals was of saloon was plain white, blending into the walls but as soon as a client was done, a button was pressed, revealing the mirror. Each client left with a satisfied look, leaving Monica guessing how she would look after everything.

Monica waited anxiously, her eyes covered with slices of cucumber, hands trailing around her legs, feet, nails, hands, and arms. Her hair was no exception yet, she could not see what was going on. Some of the things caused little pain and discomfort but she endured. Her worst bit was the tingling pain of her brows being plucked out. Soon, hands retreated from her skin, and the slices of cucumber were taken off her eyes.

Two hands remained in her hair, spraying what seemed like hair spray. 

A click sound was heard, followed by a giant mirror in front of her. Monica gawked in disbelief. She looked and felt like a movie star. A familiar fragrance engulfed her and from the Mirror, she caught sight of Sly, admiration in his eyes but when she swirled around from the swivel chair, his expression had changed to neutral. 

Monica thought that perhaps, she didn't read his expression well. She felt confident with her looks but why was it difficult for Sly to compliment her? But wait a minute, why does she want his compliment anyway? This is just a contract, she reminded herself.

Her long straight hair had been trimmed and curled, giving her a diva look. Her eyebrows, formerly bushy and straight, are now smoothed and arched. Her already long lashes had a tinge of darkness from the mascara, her new image contrast to her dress, which hung oddly on her slim frame.

“Shall we?” Sly enquired, his hand extended. She remembered the rule vividly and did not refuse this or get nervous.

“Yes we shall,” she hummed, extending her hand to meet his. An unfamiliar spark erupted in her when their bodies collided but she didn’t have the words to explain. She wanted to ask how much he was going to pay for her makeover but she didn’t want to receive another membership kind of response and angled to the door beside him. She stepped out to meet the sun setting, and a yawn escaped her.

“The day isn’t over but you are already tired. Let’s go home. We shall continue tomorrow,” Sly hinted.

Monica twitched. What was he planning this time around? That wasn’t what worried her most. For the first time, she was going to sleep in a man’s house, away from her family. There was nothing more scarier to her than that.

  • Mr. CEO's Amazing Contract Wife   102 - I love you from the depths of my heart

    "What is going on," Sly asked as soon as James ended the call. Somehow, he felt it concerned Monica therefore, his heart rate increased, his brow creased into a frown. The guests were beginning to murmur in displeasure and Dickson was taking care of the media, his friends trying to put up a show to calm the guests. "You will have to stand firm for what I’m about to tell you." James thoughtfully said, increasing Sly's frustration. "Tell me anything. Did Monica elope?" Sly asked of the worst. "No. Claudia scratched her face, and it's quite terrible. She held a gun to Monica's head when I got there but everything is under control and they are in police custody at the moment," James encouraged but Sly was so furious, he almost walked out to meet Claudia. "Make sure that she never leaves jail alive," he commanded. His voice was dangerously cold, even James feared. All Sly wanted was for Monica to be happy, therefore, it ached his heart that she had to go through this, right under his pro

  • Mr. CEO's Amazing Contract Wife   101 - Alisha saves the day.

    "Sly, we met again. Isn't it wonderful?" Claudia was delighted to meet Sly again after a decade. From the last time she saw him, he was still attractive but more matured. He was still every woman's dream. He still walked as if he ruled the world. Claudia missed the time when she was the most important person in his life. Sly, on the other hand, was rather peaceful. He always thought that seeing Claudia again will make him angry but he was rather grateful. He understood that he wouldn't have had Monica if Claudia didn't leave him therefore, he shook his head and turned to leave. "Wait! Look, I'm sorry for everything. It wasn't my fault. Your mother paid me but if you want..." Sly walked away without a word before Claudia finished speaking. To him, it was a waste of time. Filled with envy and jealousy, she barged into Monica's room. Monica was waiting for Alisha and the girls to return. She held her gown admiringly, seemingly not able to wait to walk down the aisle. She th

  • Mr. CEO's Amazing Contract Wife   100 - I will never stop adoring you, Monica

    Monica was vanquished with all the wedding preparations ongoing. For Sly’s surprise to be perfect, he put his pride aside and called Ben, interrupting his wonderful moment with Serena. Ben was astonished when he heard Sly’s voice on the line. "This is Sylvester Norman, can we talk?"Whichever way, he didn't hide his shock. "I must say it's a pleasant surprise but why not?" Ben responded, not taking his eyes off Serena."Great. I’m organizing a surprise for Monica and I want all her friends around. Our wedding would not be complete without you," Sly waited for Ben's next response. Ben was in good spirits and Sly has been in his good books since the mega proposal therefore, he said, "Who said I was going to miss your wedding? Even without an invitation, I would have still made an appearance whether you liked it or not."Sly's lips thinned into a smile, "Thank you then." He was about to end the call when Ben spoke, "if you must k

  • Mr. CEO's Amazing Contract Wife   99 - I'm sorry it took me so long to realize that......

    Thanks to Sly’s big surprise, news travelled around the world through the media. Of course, not everyone was happy for them, especially Sly’s whores but there were equally genuinely excited people, even when the news travelled to Atlanta Georgia. When Ben watched the whole thing on national television, tears formed in the corners of his eyes but fortunately, they were happy tears. He felt that Monica deserved to be honoured for all she faced with Sly and Veronica and even Dickson. Therefore, he internally admired Sly for this action. Still, he wanted to share the news with someone. Serena had taken the day off to take care of Jackie since her mother had travelled to another state. He knew that Serena must have not heard the news and called to inform her. Unfortunately, Serena didn’t answer the call after five dials. Naturally, Ben grew impatient and decided to drive over to her house. Before he got to her gate, a white Hyundai Elantra drove out at top speed. He felt

  • Mr. CEO's Amazing Contract Wife   98 - Say we have a wedding next week?

    Sly and Monica retired to bed later than imagined because of the party. However, Sly woke up quite early to prepare for work. His movements woke Monica, who followed suit. Sly chose Monica's attire for the day and made her choose his. Things were almost perfect. When they went to the dining room, Sly made sure to feed her and fed on her leftovers. Mr Brown could neither hide nor wipe his smile. His eyes were cloudy with happy tears, seeing the couple in that way. When they got to the car, Sly opened the door, buckled Monica before he sat in the driver's side. He didn't want any third party. He treated her with so much care as if she was fragile and would break. He adored her. Monica couldn't stop blushing. Her heart was warmed. She was surprised that Kyle managed Norman Holdings in their absence when they arrived in the office. He was waiting for them to hand over his report before he left. "Welcome back. I prepared a report on everything and invited t

  • Mr. CEO's Amazing Contract Wife   97 - I trust you, Monica

    Monica's heart leapt with joy. She felt as if she was dreaming. She couldn't believe her eyes when she saw her mom and dad in the villa. They were equally excited to see her, pulling her into a warm embrace. Sly had called Christiana to arrange a surprise party for Monica with the help of Dickson before he left Atlanta for Dubai with Monica. He recalled that everyone at home had seen Meg when she came; therefore, he wanted them to know that Monica was the only woman for him. Not only Monica's parents were there but Mr Herbert Norman and Veronica had arrived as well. Dickson had taken over the entertainment bit with his friends after inviting Gertrude over. The music wasn't too loud, it was easy to communicate among themselves. Kyle was there and so was Elsie but the person Sly wanted to see was James, who had made sure to bring Barbara along since she was now in her second trimester and much more energetic. This was a reunion Monica never imagined and it brought happy tears
