Dickson stood in a semblance of Sly in the office. He was apologetic but Sly's gaze was brutal. Time had changed him. Sly was cold and unfeeling. His office was remodeled with white decor, complemented by black furniture. He stared at Dickson distrustfully and with a regretful tone, he spoke.
"What did you say?" Sly's voice was icy and his eyes fiery. His expression was stony.
"Mr. Bru..Bruks proposed a business and I...I invested because mother advised me to," Dickson stammered.
"And what happened?" Sly was calm but his voice was cold. He was clouded in a charcoal grey suit. His face had become hard over the years since he hardly smiled.
"We...we lost everything," Dickson stammered pathetically, Clad in a medium grey suit. While people wised up over the years, he still exhumed foolishness.
"Damn you, Dickson," Sly slammed his desk so hard Dickson jumped in fright. "I don't want to see you anywhere near this company.

"Guess what, Monica, we won the tender. This is worth 100 million," Elsie proclaimed excitedly. It wasn't the first time they won such huge deals but she felt delighted every time. Elsie had joined Monica's company a year ago after her graduation from Princeton college. She helped with the Sales and Marketing Department and also acted as a personal assistant to Monica since she graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration. Being a personal assistant to Monica allowed her to learn more."That's wonderful Elsie, where is Serena?" Monica asked curiously, as she wondered why the latter wasn't there as well."They are still signing the documents," Elsie said. She was looking stunning in her dress suit, clad with little makeup to compliment her already attractive features."And what are you doing here?" Monica furrowed her brow as she asked. Her long burgundy hair was cut short and trimmed. She exhumed an aura of dignity and confidence. Her innocent look

At the Norman Holdings, Sly was at the office earlier than usual. His secretary had previously informed him about an investor. Sly was surprised at how a response came just three days after the advertisement. He hoped that more investors would show up to make up the whole amount. He still needed 18 billion since James had committed to 2. Either way, he didn't give it much thought, since Norman Holdings was still number one and the news concerning the loss had not been released therefore, it would attract investors across the world. Sly was exceptionally dressed today since it was a very important meeting. He made his secretary prepare all the necessary documentation for this important meeting. Two hours later. Mira walked into his office. "Mr. Norman, there is a gentleman here to see you. His name is Daniel Shaw.". Sly was solemn. He didn't show his excitement. "I've been expecting him." "I will let him in then," Mira said and walked out the door, ushering in
Mr. CEO's Amazing Contract Wife 70 - Monica meets Veronica after 5 years
Monica heard voices around her. She seemed to be in a faraway land. Suddenly jolted awake, her eyes opened into the worried ones of Ben. Elsie, Serena, and some other workers were in her office. Her membrane of confusion shadowed her as worried looks focussed on her. She was lying on something firm and solid as a strong pair of hands clamped her cheeks. A wind of embarrassment swayed her when she realized that she was lying on Ben's lap on the sofa. Ben's eyes were filled with concern. "Monica, what happened? You passed out." Her senses were in a forgetful mode. She tried to remember and finally, she did. "My phone, where is my phone," she panicked. Ben was about to hand over the phone to her when it rang. He glanced at it before handing it over to Monica. Monica seemed to already have a fair knowledge of what Gertrude was about to say and beckoned everyone else to leave except Serena, Elsie and Ben. She released herself from Ben's grip and sat uprightly by her
Mr. CEO's Amazing Contract Wife 71 - You have no right to come between us..
Veronica recalled her own words five years ago in Monica's. It was the same ultimatum she gave the latter then. Instantly, she had the unsettling feeling that Monica was up for revenge. However, she had nothing more to fight for. All those years she spent trying to get close to her son only proved futile. She was bound to leave the Villa anyway, even though she didn't have a place with Mr. Herbert Norman. It was her decision and she had to pay the price. Whichever way, she still had her final hope of being with Mr. Welbeck. Therefore, she took the cheque. Mr. Bruks had outsmarted her, making her use all she had to pay him after he duped her. Now, she had something worthwhile to live on since Mr. Herbert Norman had used the money she gambled as her compensation."It's my money anyway and if you must know, I was already leaving."Veronica beckoned Dickson to leave with her after taking the cheque but surprisingly, he refused."Go on mum, I will see you at home."
Mr. CEO's Amazing Contract Wife 72 - Monica meets Meg
After it was confirmed that Barbara was pregnant, James took her home to rest. Kyle had already left and Gertrude had to leave with Elsie. She dropped Elsie at the Villa before she went home. Monica ended up sleeping the night in the hospital. She couldn't leave Sly alone and sobbed through the night. She would jolt awake from one nightmare to the other, with fears of Sly not waking up. She didn't even remember to call or visit her parents. Elsie brought her clothes the next morning, as she used the hospital washroom to bath and changed into her working clothes. Her face was terrible from crying so much so she applied some make-up to hide it. She planned on spending not more than four hours in the office. She would return to the hospital afterward. Sly's old driver Eben had gotten married and left for a different state. The new driver, Richard, arrived in a Cadillac escalade. Monica journeyed to the office with Elsie. The human resource manager had already se
Mr. CEO's Amazing Contract Wife 73 - Sly wakes up
At the hospital, Monica sat beside Sly with her computer on her lap. She worked and talked through her day with Sly as if he could hear her. She sobbed a few times and continued to work. Sometimes, she would bury her head in his stomach and soak it with her tears of regret. Mr Herbert Norman called from time to time, hoping for some good news, but rather recoiling with disappointment. James visited every day and Kyle sometimes. Veronica never showed up at the hospital again but Dickson did so a few times. Monica had become thin and frail, as a result of not eating regularly. She would drink coffee and snack on an apple or banana. When Elsie brought her food prepared by the new chef, she found herself not having the appetite. Meg had never shown her face to the office again. Everyone waited both patiently and impatiently for Sly to wake up but were disappointed. Monica went to visit her parents after a few weeks but she couldn't stay for more
Mr. CEO's Amazing Contract Wife 74 -Sly's first words
Monica's eyes glowed with excitement, her heart leapt with joy, as she stared in shock, Sly's eyes travelling irritatingly around the Intensive care unit. She hurried out of the door to call Doctor Kim. This is what she had been waiting for but it rather seemed like a dream to her. Either way, she didn't want to wake up if it indeed was a dream.Doctor Kim walked in with three other doctors. Monica excused them for what seemed like an hour. During that time, Monica made a call to James. It would be better to have people Sly was comfortable with around but she also didn't forget to call Sly's father. Mr Herbert Norman was excited about the news and promised to return as soon as possible. James arrived in less than twenty minutes after he heard the news. "Where is he?" He was panting from the hasty way he got to the hospital.Monica forced a smile, "the doctors are taking care of him."His eyes examined Monica's frail body, as he frowned at how stressed and thin-l
Mr. CEO's Amazing Contract Wife 75 - NO DISTURBANCE
Everyone glared in displeasure, at Sly's reaction, telling from his gaze that they were directed at Monica. After all, Sly didn't know how much Monica has sacrificed for him since the accident. Mr Herbert Norman was about to speak but Monica stopped him and walked out meekly. She expected Sly to be angry when he first saw her and therefore, never took it to heart. Meanwhile, the fire of Veronica's guilt was unquenchable. Eyes focussed on her after Monica closed the door. The heated gazes made her uncomfortable, allowing an air of awkwardness. She decided to explain to Sly. "Sly, it wasn't her fa-"Sly didn't allow her to finished speaking when he transferred the fire of his anger on her. He was pale, due to his time spent in a coma but his whole demeanour was cold. One could tell that it wasn't a result of the accident because he had been like that after Monica left. Still, secretly, they hoped he would lose some part of his memory and start afresh but everything replayed on

"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

"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

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

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

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

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

In Atlanta. "Uncle Ben," Jackie's anxious voice echoed through the room when he saw Ben's sleeping form on the couch. Ben hadn't slept in the guest room as Serena had suggested. He felt like keeping watch, just in case Monica returned. Jackie was excited because he liked Ben so much and anytime Ben visited in the past, he spent time playing with him as well. Ben groggily woke up, his eyes foggy at the energetic boy standing before him with a ball in hand, "Hey little man," he uttered in his deep velvety voice. "When did you get back and where is Auntie Monica? She isn't in her room and so is Auntie Elsie. Auntie Monica promised to take me to the park," Jackie rattled all at once. The last time he recalled, Ben was there to take Monica out to dinner so it was natural for him to expect Ben to return with his Auntie. However, Ben turned gloomy, regret and pain, beginning to wash over him all at once, "don't worry, little man, I will take you to the p

Monica gawked at the calm turquoise waters through the glass in amazement. She rubbed her eyes in unbelief. It couldn't be. She looked around eagerly for Sly but he wasn't there. She also realized that she wasn't in the dress she wore last night and recalled Sly saying he was going to rip it off her. Sly's fragrance was so strong around her. Reality revealed that she was wearing his shirt. She had mixed feelings of excitement, anger and rage. Suddenly, she thought that perhaps, it was a dream. Her two fingers grabbed a tiny bit of her skin, pressed in between them. A loud yelp eluded her, "ouch!" "Are you alright?" Sly's deep voice rang behind her. She turned to meet his concerned gaze. He dropped a tray of food on the nightstand table, the aroma of the food causing Monica's stomach to hum. "Is this real? I just pinched myself to see if I was dreaming." Sly forced a smile, Monica's frail form in his oversized shirt on her made him guilty. The fact that she withered r

Sly arrived at the jet hanger. A sense of accomplishment caressing him. Nonetheless, he was concerned about how Monica would react when she woke up. Still, he was determined to make it work and to never let her out of his sight again. Another jet arrived and James was waiting on Sly's instructions. When it didn't come, he dialled his number. "We have to go Sly," he said as soon as Sly answered the call. Sly had just finished tucking Monica in bed in the private jet. He thoughtfully said, "no, you take the other jet with the boys and don't leave Elsie behind." James couldn't understand the abrupt change of plans, "What about you?" "I have to go somewhere," Sly reiterated. Worry laced his tone. "Please Sly, I have to know. "James was wagging in another confusion. "It's nothing James, trust me. We're just going for a little vacation in Dubai." James was washed in solace. He agreed that it was best for the pair to take some t
