My Contract Billionaire Husband CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
ALINA'S POV She plopped her head back on the pillow ,letting out a resigned sigh. His mother always had the worst timing.It should be because she had it out for her and was determined to never let them ever have their alone time .It was possible. She had already showed her dislike of her and this could have been her ploy all along. "Mum?Shouldn't you be going home now"Micheal said blocking the entrance to the door. "Yes I will but I need to tell you something before I leave.Its why I came here in the first place."Mrs Wheeler answered. "Am sorry mum but could you give me a few minutes,I'll be downstairs with you shortly"She stated. "Okay but..." She tried to peered through the entrance to the door,but Micheal blocked her view of the room. "Mum,please could you wait downstairs for me?"She stated. "Okay but don't let me wait too long" She said reluctantly. After watching her finally leave,he breathed a sigh of relief and closed the door behind him and turned the door knob be

MICHAEL'S POV "Shit!" He had messed up big time.He should have blocked her number but he had chucked that at the back of his mind after he had gotten home. Her incessant calls and text messages had irritated him but he had not had the heart to block them.Instead he thought he could handle them.After all,she would stop when she saw that he wasn't willing to reciprocate her fervour of excitement at her return.She had called his phone quite a number of times on his drive back to his house just after he had gotten the distress call from his mother about Alina.He was so focused on finding out what had happened that he had ignored everything else. The rest of the week flew by and she chose not to speak to him other than the basic pleasantries in the morning.He could still see the hurt in her eyes whenever their eyes met across the dinner table like it did now. The week had been quite busy for him and he had not been able to find time to explain who Paulina truly was in his life esp

ALINA'S POV Ever since their argument,they had stayed completely at a standstill.With him sneaking away every night to God knew where. Most nights for a week now,she had laid in bed trying to envision what it would have felt like if they had actually made love that day but unfortunately,fate had other plans in-store for them. She had been more hurt at the fact that he had hidden the fact that his ex was back and was trying to get him back.Didn't he see her as someone worthy of being told about such trival matters? On one hand she had his mother disapprovement of her and her son's marriage and on the other hand,the husband she was taking in all the abuse for,was hiding things from her and didn't even consider their marriage a real one.And that hurt more than she cared to admit. She had formed a routine during this past week to cope with everything. She woke up every day to an empty bed,brushed and showered then picked out an outfit from the numerous choices that Micheal had stocke

MICHAEL'S POV "What?"he asked in disbelief,his hand fisted on his laps in guilt. "Yes am calling your bluff."she answered settling back on her seat. "What are you saying?" She raised her hand to signal a waiter.A scrawny looking man clad in a black shirt with a white apron tied around his waist came running with a checkerboard and a pen in hand .He gave Michael a nod before turning to Paulina who looked like she was perfectly in her element with a smug smile playing on her lips. "Yes Ma'am?" The witer said as he raised his pen to his writing pad with his hands fidgeting as he compressed the ballpoint end to release the pen.He struggled for so long,it was pitiful.She gave him a knowing smile and reached for the pad and scribbled on for a few minutes before handing it back to the waiter who scampered out of there like one who was been chased. His eyes narrowed suspiciously at her. "Is there something going on?"He asked out of curiousity. She cleared her throat and stoo

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. She

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 said with a deathly stare.She let out a resigned sigh because she knew the outcome that she had definitely expected.She was hurt that he didn't take her side but she unders

ALINA'S POV FLASHBACK "Papa!"she came bounding straight at him. Her father released that deep rich baritone laughter that always seemed to reverberate through her whenever he laughed. 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

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

MICHEAL'S POVWhen he awoke, he found her side of the bed empty. He sat up abruptly, panicked. 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.

ALINA'S POVShe groaned as the light hit her eyes. "Madam wake up." She heard the voice call out to her.Groggily, she sat up straight."Martha, what are you doing here this early?" She said rubbing her eyes to try to clear her blurry vision. Her head throbbed gently. 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. Are you okay?" Martha asked rising to massage circles underneath her eyes with concern laced in her voice.She pulled her head away from Martha's grip."Martha, Martha, I'm fine " she reassured, holding onto her hands, she gave her a forced smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.Martha returned her smile with a nod of her head. 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. She was selfish if she thought that working here was going to be good for her."Micheal?"He shook his head at the sound of his name being called.MICHEAL'S POVWhen he had left for work that morning he had been in a good mood.

ALINA'S POV"Hello?""Hello is this Miss Alina Sanders?" the automated feminine voice sounded over the phone.She frowned."Yes, this is she" She responded."Okay, am calling about the position of managing director that you applied for earlier this month. You've been selected. I wanted to know when you would be available for the follow-up interview" the voice replied.Her eyes widened, and she clamped a hand on her opened mouth to keep from screaming."I'll be available anytime. When and where will the interview be held?" She asked."At the Empire State Building by 2 o'clock on Thursday. I'll send the details to your email" the female voice recited."Thank you, I'll be there. Thank you, thank you so much" she said excitedly and dropped the receiver back onto the telephone body."Yes!" She swung her fist triumphantly in the air."What are you excited about?"She jerked around to find Micheal behind her. He was dressed to the nines in his dark grey suit with his briefcase in hand.

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."

Especially from the girl, Linda's end.She was in the dining room, eating her generous spread of breakfast that Martha had prepared with Linda's help to her surprise. Micheal was seated across from her enjoying the plate of waffles and scrambled eggs on his plate without so much as looking up at her."Is everything to your liking ma'am?" the voice broke through her internal musings.She looked up to see Linda staring back at her with a wide smile on her lips. From the corner of her eyes she could see a smirk playing on Micheal's lips as he sipped his coffee.She plastered on a fake smile and shook her head."No thank you" She answered.Linda nodded and turned to leave."Where's Martha? " she asked."She went to pick up some mail from the post office. Someone called her and said it was an emergency " Linda replied with a shrug to her shoulders.She felt her skin crawl at the wide smile on Linda's

MICHEAL'S POVThe look of horror on Alina was enough to warn him about the decision he was about to make.But he stared at his mother's face and form the sad look on the strange woman behind Alina.He knew that she really was stranded and needed his help.Probably the both of them and according to the staff's that was currently employed for the sole purpose of making it easier."Micheal please can I talk to you?" Alina asked stepping to the side past him with one disapproving frown.He followed suit."What are you thinking?!" She snapped then cleared her throat lowering he voice to a hushed whisper."Do you you even know what you're planning to do? That woman is dangerous!"
