My Billionaire Husband Hates Me 24.
Lexi’s POVEmbarrassed, I quickly averted my gaze and looked away as I rummaged through the closet. Everything in there wasn’t office friendly and I really tried to find an appropriate outfit but most of what’s here are lingeries and short skirts and crop tops.“I…. I’m sorry but I don’t think I can wear any of these here. They’re inappropriate.” I stammered as I spoke.Sighing, Ivan stood and walked with so much grace into the room as he stretched his hand towards the closet and pulled one hanger out.“Well, you have to wear something or you’ll go to the meeting with your towel.” He pointed out as he shoved the outfit at me before walking out to continue with his work.I’d completely forgotten about the meeting and I was supposed to be the one reminding him about it. Looking at the black short skirt and red shirt, I shrugged and put it on.What can possibly go wrong? He picked it out for me.Dressing up, I looked at the mirror and my jaw dropped. I honestly looked more like a hooker

Lexi’s POVObediently, I stood from the floor and staggered. My vision had already become blurry but whose vision would still remain clear after the multiple kicks, hair pulling and flinging across the room that I’d endured?Ivan picked up what seemed like a remote and pushed a button on it making the entire room become dark all of a sudden.The glasses suddenly became tinted and I could see everyone outside but I was so sure that no one out there would be able to see what was going on inside here.Fear gripped me and my entire body became so cold that I could feel my blood slowly beginning to dry up.What does he want to do?Whatever he had in mind I knew wouldn’t be anything good and not only that, I felt like he was going to hurt me, like he was going to do something really horrible to me.“Darlene,” he called the girl sweetly and I felt a sense of jealousy, he had never called my name like that before and we’ve spent months together.Does he really hate me that much? Am I really n

Lexi’s POVIt’s been months already and things still haven't changed between Ivan and I. He has made my life more miserable in months than my stepfather has in years.I’d contemplated running away but there was nowhere I could go to that Ivan won’t catch up with me. I also can’t beg for mercy to leave the marriage because the term years for our contract marriage hasn’t even gotten to the stage where I could ask him to change his mind.Sniffling after getting another share of Ivan’s anger at the office today, I tried to concentrate on the work I was doing when the door to our office flung open.Ivan walked in with Ansel and it has also been months but he still hasn’t gotten to like me yet. Reece was the only one who liked and tried to put me into consideration.Smiling at him, I tried to be friendly but he only ignored me as he walked with Ivan to his table. Placing the papers on the table for Ivan to go through, Ansel told him about the investor that he would be meeting later today an

Ivan’s POV“Congratulations.” A male voice brought me back to the present and I turned to see one of the investors behind me. I’d gotten so engrossed with watching Lexi leave that I forgot that I was still surrounded by a lot of people.“Thank you,” I responded as we both clinked our glasses, “I promise not to disappoint you and those who have put their trust in us.” I added with a smile that he returned.We spoke for a while and I had to have another meeting with the entire board of the company’s directors. I’d been nervous on my way here because I would usually bring Reece along and she handled things perfectly but Lexi exceeded my expectations.The meeting ended and they decided to throw the party till late at night but I wasn’t really present, I couldn’t stop thinking about the elevator, the speech and now CassianTech is becoming bigger than it already is.The party became too crowded and I couldn’t stay there a minute longer. I've always hated business parties but I never felt so

Lexi’s POV“Where is my son?” Charlotte asked as soon as she got in and I’d wanted to tell her that Ivan isn’t home yet. I left him at the party and I knew that he was supposed to be back by now but I didn’t think he was home.“He’s not home yet and I don’t know when…” I was still trying to explain to her when I felt a resounding slap on my cheek. She just slapped me when I’ve done literally nothing to her.My vision immediately became blurry and for a moment all I could see were tiny white lights before my vision came back to its normal state.The girl she was standing with seemed to be unbothered as she kept scrolling through her phone and when she finally decided to pay heed to me, I wished she hadn’t said anything.“Who is she, Charlotte?” She asked in the most disdainful voice ever, “and why is she here?” She added.My palm couldn’t leave my cheek and I could still feel the hotness from the slap which made it easy for me to know that my cheek had gotten really red.Standing ther

Lexi’s POV“It’s fine, you’re fine,” I said to myself as I tried to keep my tears at bay, “what is wrong with you?! He doesn’t even love you!” I gave myself the reality check but none of that seemed to be working.None of what I was doing seemed to be working as I was breaking inside, my breathing had paced and I clutched my chest while tapping it slowly trying to regulate my breathing.I couldn’t believe what I’d just heard but maybe if I hadn’t gone to eavesdrop rudely I wouldn’t have heard all of this.My entire being was tearing apart inside and I felt like someone had just dropped a bomb on me. I knew that I shouldn’t even be hurt but I just couldn’t help myself.Laying on my bed, I could feel the hot stinging tears at the back of my eyes that I’m trying so hard to not let loose. I tried, I really tried to act like I wasn’t fazed, to act like none of what is going on in this house matters to me but even that doesn’t seem to work either.I shouldn’t even be this hurt, if anything

Lexi’s POV A very big part of me wished that the contract on my table, staring right at me, was going to be a termination paper of the existing contract between us but things took a different turn when I opened it up.What the hell am I staring at?It was not a termination of contract but it was something different, an entirely different kind of contract.“Sign it.” He growled, his words coming out just between his teeth and I could feel his anger. The paper in front of me was not only unbelievable, it was also disgusting but what has ever gone right in my life?Lifting up my gaze to meet him, I stared directly into his angry glazed eyes as he raised an eyebrow, probing me to just sign the papers.His eyes were extremely cold, I noted his set face and it was clamped and his eyes were fixated on me, bullying me and asking me to dare him by not signing the papers.There was a suspicious line at the corner of his mouth and despite not knowing what it was, it aroused me in the worst poss

Ivan’s POV“Where the hell do you think you’re going?” I called out to them but they chose to act like they didn’t hear my voice.With my mouth wide open, I watched as they both left the office and made their way to the elevator. I honestly couldn’t believe that Andrei of all people could do this to me.Can’t he see that I’m trying as hard as I can to be a better person? Why does he have to show up now?Clenching my fist in anger, I thought about following them but that would only make me look like a clown.Hurriedly, my feet padded to the window and the sight of Andrei getting the door for Lexi made raw anger sweep through me and I could feel the swirl of my anger in my stomach.I knew she was enjoying herself, she was enjoying standing up to me and I have absolutely no idea where she got the audacity, the courage to talk to me like this from but I hate the fact that I loved it.She started to dare me ever since Celine came and I was going to deal with that later because it was just

Lexi’s POVTHREE YEARS LATER.“Food is ready!” I called out to the men while Camille, Reece and I set the table. I knew they weren’t going to answer me because of the game that they were watching.“I can bet you a hundred dollars that they wouldn’t leave that couch even if they were dying of hunger.” Reece sighed and Camille quickly agreed but I only smiled.“I’ll take that bet from both of you so if I get them to stand up, I get a hundred bucks each from you guys?” I asked and they agreed.Not calling them anymore, I went about setting the table and after a while I decided to lean against the wall, cleaning off the sweat on my forehead and rubbing my belly.“He just kicked! The baby just kicked!” I screamed with a wince as the men flew up from the couch, Camille’s boyfriend inclusive with Ivan leading the army.My eyes lit up and an eyebrow raised, Cassian caught on immediately and told the rest that I was lying, they were about to return to the sitting room when we insisted that the

Lexi’s POV“You can keep tapping your feet but that wouldn’t stop this wedding from taking place.” Reeces voice jolted me out of my thoughts as I turned to face her.“My offer still stands, I’ll rip this gown apart and take the kids and we’ll run away from here if you’re not sure about this.” Camille blurted but Reece smacked her.“She wants this,” Reece responded, “she’s just nervous and it happens to a lot of people.” She explained but Camille only shrugged.She was right, I was nervous and although there wouldn’t be many people, just a few of Ivan’s clients, people from his work, Camille and her boyfriend, Ansel, Reece and the kids.Those aren’t faces that I haven’t seen before but still the more I think about the fact that today is my wedding day, the more nervous I get.It’s a joyous day of course and I’ve been looking forward to it since Ivan asked me to marry him, I still didn’t know how to feel because I’ve always talked about this day with my parents.My father always spoke a

Ivan’s POV“Hi princess, Hey champ.” Andrei greeted with a smile on his face as he crouched in front of Adeline and Cassian.“I’m sorry it took so long for us to meet but Uhm,” he continued, lifting his gaze to meet “I’m glad we finally got to meet.” He added as he extended his hand for a shake but they hugged him instead.“If you’re brothers, how come you don’t look alike?” Adeline asked, I wasn’t expecting anything less than that from her.Andrei and I laughed before finally explaining to them that we aren’t real brothers but foster brothers. It took a while for it to finally sink in but they soon got it.“But despite that, he’s still family and I love him so much.” I finished with a smile and they both nodded. I could tell Andrei was holding back tears and I wanted to shorten the meeting but he insisted on getting to know them more.Moving away so that I was going to give them the privacy that they needed, I walked over to Lexi who was still admiring her ring. I’ve always wanted th

Lexi’s POVCamille squealed before I could bring myself to say anything, her voice jolted me out of my own thoughts and I turned back to look at Ivan.Excitement washed through me, I opened my mouth to speak but I couldn’t form a coherent word so I just shut it back.Ivan’s eyebrow raised, he was waiting for my answer, “I believe the word you’re looking for is, Yes, Ivan, let’s get married.” Camille whispered behind me and I shoved her away.I wanted to get married too, getting into a real marriage with Ivan would definitely mean my biggest dream had come true but I didn’t want to make the decision alone.I knew that they loved him so much and they’d literally ask if I’m insane to be asking them a question like that but I turned in their direction and knelt in front of them.“So?” I asked, tears welling up in my eyes and I was trying all of my best to not let the tears fall, “do you think your dad is worth marrying?” I asked, laughing.Cassian and Adeline also bursted out laughing bef

Lexi’s POV“I missed you too.” I responded as I hugged him, I didn’t want anything to interrupt this moment and I just wanted to be holding him forever.“Want me to show you how much I missed you?” He asked and I smiled, I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me what he meant by that and my god, do I want it just as much!He took my face in his hand and kissed me, slipping his tongue between my lips, teasing and making me shiver in pleasure.He nibbled at my tongue and I moaned in his mouth, my hands moved to his chest as I felt his heart pounding. He caught my hand and began to move it down until I could feel his hard cock.“You probably already know this,” he whispered into my mouth, “this is what you do to me, you know how hard it was for me to not be able to do things that I want to you?” He asked and I smiled.Leaning against him, my hands seemed to have a mind of their own as they began to unbutton his pants. All I could feel right now was waiting and urgency as I undid his trousers

Ivan’s POVAndrei, Reece, Ansel and the undercover policemen came right in just about the same time that I knocked the gun off Darren’s hands.“What the hell took you so long?!” I snapped as Andrei made a call for paramedics. Cassian and Adeline’s eyes were closed and even Lexi had passed out already.We got into Andrei’s car, leaving the police at the scene of the crime while we followed the ambulance to the hospital.I was in pain but the pain was nothing compared to the kind of relief that I felt knowing that everything was finally over.“Will they be fine?” I asked, my eyes not leaving the ambulance in front of us and Andrei nodded. I never would’ve thought that he was actually going to help me out in all of this.“I just thought you should know that it also took you so long to call for help.” He rolled his eyes as he stepped on the accelerator when he noticed that he was losing the ambulance we were following.Smiling, I rested my back against the chair and closed my eyes. It's f

Lexi’s POV“What? No! Darren, you can’t do that, please.” I begged, wanting to crawl over to my kids but the men’s knives on both their necks and Celine’s gun pointed in the direction of Adeline caused me to stop.“Don’t pull that trigger, Celine, you got what you want and they’re innocent, they’re still too young, they don’t deserve this.” I sniffled, Cassian and Adeline’s eyes closed and they both looked tired.It’s been a week and the only thing they’ve been taking since I joined them was water, my babies were weak and seeing them in that situation caused fear to ripple through me.What if they died now? What if Celine didn’t pull the trigger and they drop dead out of weakness.I shook my head to get the horrible questions that were racing through my mind, an act I regretted almost immediately because my head started pounding.My vision had become blurry and I could barely see or hear anything clearly. My stomach hurt and I tried to apply pressure on it so that it would at-least st

Lexi’s POVI watched as Ivan handed all of the papers he came with to her. I had no idea that this was going to happen, that he was just going to give away his blood and sweat because he wanted to save us.The pain I was feeling was starting to become unbearable and I clutched my stomach as it felt like someone was twisting my insides with a very sharp dagger.“Why?” I finally asked as I lifted my gaze, stopping the exchange that was about to happen between Celine and Ivan.“Why are you both doing this?” I demanded, it all just didn’t make any sense to me that Celine was using the kids and I as leverage to get Ivan.The fact that she asked him to propose to her and threatened to kill us if he doesn’t just to prove that she could get him too.It all just seemed stupid but I also knew that sensible would’ve never really been a part of a psychopath’s dictionary.“If you aren’t going to think about me, Darren, at-least think about the children.” I continued, I have no idea what I think I

Ivan’s POVThe closer I got to the location, the harder my heart pounded and the more difficult it got for me to breathe.Checking my phone to be absolutely sure that I was in the right place, I lifted my gaze to take a good look at the old building in front of me.My phone chimed and I looked at my side mirror to see Andrei’s car and four other cars packed behind me. I recognized Ansel’s car too.No one would have known that they were with me so I summoned all of my strengths, drew in a deep breath and got out of the car to see a man waiting for me right outside the old building.“Your phone?” His voice was husky and slightly intimidating and without any questions, I handed him my phone.I’d already cleared all chats between me, Andrei, Reece and Ansel and I’d already cleared my call logs too just in case they wanted to go through my phone.“Where is my family?” I asked, swallowing the lump that had formed at the back of my throat as I forced it down with saliva.Not saying anything,
