My Contract Billionaire Husband CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX
ALINA'S POV The conversation had ran a bit longer before it ended with them promising to talk often over the phone whenever they could. It elevated her mood throughout the whole day and she couldn't wait to let Micheal know. So she had waited up for him to come in but he never did. She had woken up to an ache in her neck due to her sleeping position on the couch overlooking the entrance to the living room. And had checked the time on the clock before heading back upstairs to sleep in their room, hoping to see him when he got back the next morning. She awoke to see that the area beside her on the bed was still untouched.She wiped at her eyes to clear the fog of sleep and stared around the room in search of him,hoping to catch him coming out of the shower like he did on most mornings whenever he had slept in his home office but he was nowhere to be found.It was still.The quiet room mocked her.She dragged her feet out from under the covers and trudged downstairs downcast.

MICHAEL'S POV "Micheal it was your mother" "What?"He asked with a confused frown. She stood on her hip,folding her arms to arch a brow at him. "That's not possible"he said letting out an awkward laugh. "Its possible Michael.It happened when you had collapsed that night.After we got home that morning.When we had gone into the kitchen to prepare something for you to have when you came to.She had clearly used that moment to delvuge to me that she would never let our marriage last.And in not so kind terms told me that I was a gold digger, out to get your money and that she wasn't going to let me have my way."she narrated,recalling every moment of the converstaion. His lips pursed as he stood in silence for a few minutes. "How could you accuse my mother for doing something so ghastly as to burn you?"

He had just returned from working all day at a nearby high school as the janitor.At the time,she didn't know what her family status was.She had just been satisfied staying cocooned in her father and mother and soon to be baby brother or sister lives. The days had been merged to one of longing,where her father had gone to work and only came back late at nights when she was asleep before he went back out again in the morning just before she woke up. she had not seen her father in weeks,so on that day she had stationed her teddy bear and gotten a comfy spot on one end of the beat down couch that they had gotten from a yard sale just before her mother had become pregnant and had stayed up all night only to see that her father didn't come home that night.Late nights were normal in her household and

MICHEAL'S POVWhen Jeffery was pulled into the confines of his office, he would have to explain to his best friend why he was still keeping his wife in the dark about his illness.So here he was breaking out in a cold sweat as he thought of how exactly to respond to his question."Micheal?"He called."Jeff, I haven't told her yet" he replied hesitantly. Jeff's hands slammed on the table as he leaned forward abruptly. He sat there unmoving."Why would you do that, Micheal we talked about this. What are you going to do when the signs start showing man? Don't you think she has a right to know about your condition?" he queried."I can't man.No matter how hard I try to, I just can't think of doing it. Just today she thought of leaving me because I didn't believe her claim that my mother had burned her."He defended.Jeff reclined on his chair and arched a brow up at him."Are you serious?"He asked in disbelief. "I know right, why would she even go to such lengths, I know my mum doesn't li

ALINA'S POV When she had woken up, she had found herself surrounded by the four walls of beautifully decorated room filled with flowers. She had raised her arm to put across her eyes as she waited for the wave of headache to pass. She had heard the door open before hearing the voices. His voice stood out the most among the voices. "Oh good she's awake" She heard the familiar voice of the doctor followed by his footsteps. He pulled her arm down and did his examination forcing her to look up at Micheal who stood rigidly behind him. She looked away when he caught her staring up at him. "You're fit as a fiddle "The doctor spoke up oblivious of the tension that was thick in the air. "I'll just have the nurses prepare your discharge papers. Just make sure you take good care of your wife Mr Wheeler" He said and walked away leaving the both of them alone. The silence was deafening. "Am sorry Alina" He spoke first. She turned hesitantly to face him now. She saw the pained expressio

He stood in front of him painting profusely."What is it Donald?" he asked, his face wrinkled in a frown.He rounded the table and came up with his tablet in hand.

ALINA'S POVEver since Micheal had hired a maid and a chef, she had become so idle and restless. All she did in the house all day now was lounge around until Micheal came home where they would have dinner and talk about his life and seek her advice or her opinion on a matter that was bothering him related to work.She was growing tired of this new routine and dynamic and had woken up extra early that day to clean the house before everyone woke up. She had tiptoed out of bed in the wee hours of the morning, making sure to confirm that the house was eerily quiet before making her way down the stairs to the laundry room where she rallied her mop bucket and cleaning detergents to get to cleaning."What are you doing this late, Alina?"She jerked which caused her grip on the bucket to loosen causing the bucket to fall with a loud clang onto the floor."You startled me!" she cried placing a hand over her chest to still her heart."You're the one sneaking around the house trying to clean at

MICHEAL'S POVIt took all his resolve not to react to the stinging on his cheek.Instead, he settled for straightening up the smile on his face."Mrs Sanders, hello to you too" He greeted."Forget the pleasantries, Micheal. You promised me that my daughter wouldn't be put in harm's way anymore!" She shrieked"I blame myself for trusting you!" She said aloud and walked past him to stand beside her bed. She took Alina's hand in hers and gave her a sad smile."My poor daughter is being neglected. I feel so sorry for her. "A muscle ticked in his cheek."Mum, that's not true. He's taking care of me" Alina defended weakly."You're too blinded to see it, Alina. The father of your child should be at your side at all times. Having lots of help from maids wouldn't just be enough. All the things that have happened are a testament to that fact." She complained.Micheal walked out ignoring Alina calling out to him. He couldn't be here anymore.As he stepped out of the room, he took one swing of

ALINA'S POVShe couldn't hold it in anymore. The suspense was eating away at her. Ever since last night, she had been unable to let the image of what she had seen go. There were lots of questions playing in her head. There was no justification for why Linda would be in her room that late at night. And the way she looked when she stood outside her door...She shuddered to think of what must have been going through her mind at the time.That's why she had resolved to trap her in the kitchen when Martha had gone out to get groceries. They were alone."Tell me Linda, what exactly were you doing in my room last night?" She blurted out.Sandra looked up, the corners of her lips twitched but she was calm. She stared up at her with widened eyes."What are you talking about ma'am?" She asked feigning surprise."I was in my bed all night," She said.Alina scoffed."You don't expect me to believe that" she responded.Sandra shrugged."I'm sorry ma'am, but I have no clue what you're talking about

He searched everywhere for her and padded down the stairs shirtless in search of her.He let out a sigh of relief when he found her hunched over on the couch taking a big bite of ice cream. A smile crept up on his face as he saw the guilt playing on her face."I was just craving some ice cream," She said and made a show to bring the lid over it to cover it up.He walked over to her chuckling as he sat beside her."It's okay." He told her."You're allowed to have some" He reassured her pulling the lid off to drop back onto the table. "Go on" He urgedShe eyed him skeptically. "Are you okay?" He asked when she dug in almost immediately.He watched the worry crease on her face.She shrugged her shoulders before taking a big bite."Are you sure?" He asked again.She gave him a forced smile and nodded in response. "I'm okay Micheal. You should go back to bed. You have work tomorrow" she said.

She groaned, raising her hand to reach for her head, memories of last night came flooding back.Micheal embarrassed her, their fight at the foot of the stairs, her crying her eyes out."Ma'am oh my goodness, your eyes are so puffy.

She raised a hand to run it down her matted bed hair."Okay ma'am, I'll go downstairs to get your breakfast upstairs. Just freshen up."She said heading for the do

MICHEAL'S POVWhen he had left for work that morning he had been in a good mood. Because Alina had listened to him for once in their lives, she listened to him.Only to find her here, the very place that he had forbade her from coming. His hands fisted on the table. It took most of his willpower to stop himself from walking over to her and rattling her.What the hell was she thinking? That he would allow her to work in her condition.

MICHEAL'S POV"Answer me Linda" He asked.He saw the guilt evident on her face then tears rolled down her face."Sir am so sorry, I just added a little more sugar to her tea that's all I did. I didn't know that would cause any effect. I just wanted her tea sweetened " She cried, falling on her knees and rubbing her hands apologetically."Linda get up" Micheal ordered."Am so sorry ma'am" She said.Alina scoffed pulling her hand away from Linda's sweaty palms."No, you're not going to expect me to believe that" she mocked."Alina that's enough." He ordered."She's lying Micheal, can't you see? That's the lamest excuse that I've ever heard in my life. How can an extra teaspoon of sugar cause food poisoning?" She protested."Linda get up" Micheal ordered again. "Don't try that ever again." He warned.Alina threw her hands up in exasperation. "You can both go" He ordered.They hurried away."You're so frustrating!" Alina cried as soon as the door closed behind them."What?!" He asked."
