My Contract Boyfriend 10. Only the beginning.
Adrian's POVI had hoped my flight back home would be a quick one as I had other engagements waiting for me by the time I return but the universe had other plans for me that day.I arrived at the airport early for my flight, only to be told that it had been delayed due to a terrible weather and all that nonsense. My plans were ruined and as angry as I was about the sudden turn of events, there was nothing much I could do about it.I immediately booked a motel since all the hotels were far out in town and I couldn't afford going back to the resort due to the distance.Thankfully, I was lucky enough to get the last available room. Plus the distance between the motel and the airport was incredibly convenient for me.I didn't hesitate to head down to it and get settled in. I was about to order for my breakfast when I received a phone call that had me bolting out of the room immediately.Jay had been involved in a car accident on his way back from running an errand I had sent him on and wa
My Contract Boyfriend 11. Little Miss Petty.
Jade's POV.It's difficult to describe how low I felt when I was turned down by the reception. It was hard to accept that I had no other option than to return to him and plead for his help.My pride was hurt!Being indebted to him was the last thing I wanted but here I am at a loss of what next to do. As much as I hated it, I knew I had to swallow my ego and go back to him, with hopes that he would not turn me down based on how terribly I had treated him in the past.I lazily dragged my feet back up to where his room was. I hated being in such situation. I made sure to groan, whine, grumble, and all that just to ease myself of all my frustration and groom myself muster up the courage to do what needed to do.I knocked on the door and though I wasn't expecting a response, I was more than hopeful when he came to get it.Hopeful that I would be given a lisenteing ear at the very least.Damn, he looked breath taking in the pair of jumper he had on. I could see the size of his groin and I
My Contract Boyfriend 12. Homecoming.
Adrian's POV.My plan had backfired at me. What in heaven's name made me think asking her to pay for the room's entire cost would be the perfect payback.How is it that she knows just what exactly needed to be done to make me look and feel like the smaller person? I shut my eyes quietly there on the floor where I laid and blamed myself over and over again for not thinking twice about my actions.There in my conflicted thoughts, I fell into a deep sleep.I woke up the next morning with my body aching all over. I could never get used to sleeping on the floor as I had done last night and now, my body suffered the consequences of it.I sat up and tried to stretch my muscles on the floor where I sat still. My eyes darted to the bed and I realised she was not there anymore. As I wondered where she could have gone, I suddenly remembered that I had to get Jay from the hospital since he would be discharged this morning.I managed to pull my aching body up from the floor and moved to the ward
My Contract Boyfriend 13. Hustle and Bustle.
Chapter thirteenJade's POVWhat a relief to be back home. I inhaled the breath of fresh air that played around my nostrils as I stood outside the airport waiting for a taxi. I flagged down the first one I saw and got in. I said my address to him and the ride began.I never knew that I would miss being back here when I first left but now that I was back, I realised just how much I had actually missed home.When the thought of Mr stranger crossed my mind, I was beyond glad that I wouldn't have to see him again or be anywhere near him at that.Still on the ride, it dawned on me that I hadn't informed Valerie about my arrival. I got my phone out from my handbag and put a call through to her.The phone rang both times that I had called but there was no response. I thought of sending her a text but immediately dismissed the idea. She would surely call when she gets to see the missed calls I had given her.I relaxed into my seat at the back and fed my eyes with the views from he side of th
My Contract Boyfriend 14. In Trouble?
Jade's POV."Being late on your first day is not a good way to start miss Shelton." Said the lady who happened to be my superior the second I said my greeting to her.I had not seen her the first day I arrived so I knew nothing about her or what she looked like.Although because of how late I was, I saw a few staff staring at me like I had some sort of disease that meant I needed to be avoided. Some had smiles on their faces and the others did not even notice my presence as they were buried in their work.I ignored what their stares were saying to me and approached one of them for assistance. I needed to report to my superior and since I was yet to know my way around, I had to do what was logical, ask for direction.I was directed to another section of the office which had different cubicles carved out in it.I approached the lady I had been in search of and by God I was blown away by how beautiful she was. She could easily pass off for a model, she was that gorgeous.Her face though
My Contract Boyfriend 15. Not my Best day.
Adrian's POV"Get me that bastard called Marco and bring him to my office now!" I instructed Jay who had accompanied me to the meeting earlier.My meeting had ended rather terribly. I made alot of new discoveries that I did not know even existed. Only after I had attended the meeting with the locals of the new branch site we acquired did I learn that the man I had put in charge of its acquisition had cheated not just the locals but myself too.He claimed to have paid the full cost for the site and had done everything necessary for its acquisition but that was not the case.Out of ten million we had spent for the land's purchase, he had only remitted half the amount to the locals with claims that the company would cover the rest of its cost later on as he was yet to receive the other half from us.Meanwhile I had been told a whole different story with legal papers of the land as proof that he had settled all that was necessary. That bastard!He was going to get a taste of my wrath tod
My Contract Boyfriend 16. Again with the Leech.
Jade’s POVOn my way up to the boss’ office, my mind wouldn’t stop playing out the worst case scenarios and it made me feel nauseous. I cursed Miss Marilyn underneath my breath for keeping me in such excruciating suspense. I hated not knowing what to expect. I remember slowly losing strength in my legs as I approached his office. The floor I treaded on began spiraling in endless circles and the sound of my own footsteps became muffled sounds that echoed in my ears. Before I get a grip of myself, I was lost in the endless abyss of space.I don't know for sure how long I've been out but when I slowly peeled my eyes open, I found myself lying on a hospital bed. The smell of antiseptic accompanied by a little bitter undertones of artificial fragrance wafted its way into my nostrils and made my stomach turn. I’ve always hated hospitals and I see I’m no way near liking it. I looked at my hand and I noticed the IV needles pierced into my skin. “how did I end up here? Why am I here’ I aske
My Contract Boyfriend 17. If today isn't my lucky day.
Adrian’s POV.I was beyond surprised to realize that the new clerk that had ruined my day was none other than the very same lady that I held a grudge against. I bet she was disappointed to find out that her job was tied to me but I couldn’t care any less. ‘You did me a solid, Mr. universe. I owe you one.’ I said to myself as I approached her.She had turned around to leave but I was quick to stop her and pinned her against the wall. I could see the hate in her eyes as she glared angrily at me. I leaned closer toward her and I could hear the beating of her heart.I expected her to fight back but she didn’t and being the man I am, it occurred to me to toy with her a little. So, I leaned in close, going for what she obviously had confused for a kiss. I exploded into a mocking laughter as she had her eyes shut. She peeled her eyes open and glared at me angrily before pushing me away.“You were expecting a kiss, weren’t you?” I asked with a grin.“Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you but tha

My Contract Boyfriend 25. Toyed with.
Jade's P O VHe was already too close to meBut he got even closer. Dangerously closer. Dangerous in the sense that I could feel all his masculinity pressing hard against my now feeble body that still remained in his arms like a wet leaf. I wanted to scream and run But I couldn't move an inch away from him. I remained frozen in place with each breath harder than the previous till I was thrown into a chokehold when his lips seized mine again with this high level of possessiveness that made my knees weak. I wanted to back away but my Body continued its betrayal. Against my wish, my fingers found their way to the nape of his neck and lingered on for as long as our lips continued working together and it didn't just stop there. His hands worked the buttons of my shirt and I didn't fight it one bit. 'Once beaten, Twice shy' -But with Jade, it's probably a million times beaten, never shy.The little voice of reason in my head told me for a fact I'll regret this later but I chose to igno
My Contract Boyfriend 24. Humiliation at its peak.
Jade's P O VI gasped at what I had just done but another gasp sounded entirely louder than mine and that pulled my attention to the door where Miss Antonio now stood with wide eyes and some files in her hand looking at me like one would a person who is about to get a death sentence but for a minute I just couldn't conclude whether it was pity or satisfaction. She slowly took backwards steps till she was out of his office again and she made sure to shut the door on both of us leaving me to my fate in the hands of Adrian who breathed as Heavy as the sound of thunder. With a hard and laboured gulp, I raised my eyes to meet his furious gaze and although I really wanted to apologize, my lips produced no sounds as they opened and close without audible words. Since my mouth was of no use, I decided to put my hands to work by peeling off his buttons so I could take care of the mess on his shirt I had created. My fingers fumbled between each button and his intense gaze wasn't helping at al
My Contract Boyfriend 23. In Trouble Again.
Jade's P O VWe began the next morning with both of us passed out side by side on floor just a few steps away from the door of my apartment still dressed in the same outfit we had on from the club and even our shoes were still firmly strapped to our feet. It's a surprise we could navigate the way back home because the moment we both left the club after the scene I caused, it wasn't hard to miss how drunk we both were. So wasted that we couldn't even bring ourselves to wave down a taxi which might actually be a good thing because the last time we boarded a taxi in a drunken state, Val puked all over the back seat and the Driver went nuts on both of us. I was awakened this morning by the harsh impact of Val's hand slapping across my face in her attempt to roll over to a different position. I naturally would've screamed at her to get off of me but the striking ache In my head didn't let me voice out my harsh morning temper. Slowly, I pulled myself up to a sitting position after tossi
My Contract Boyfriend 22. Works of Resentment.
Jade's POV.After a long day of Valerie clearly cheating to win me at board games, we decided to wrap the night with a visit to the club a couple of minutes drive downtown. A combination of red and blue dance hall lights greeted us as we walked in. I walked closely behind an already vibing Valerie past sweaty bodies dancing to the tune of a very loud unrecognizable song on the dance floor. Valerie kept her dance on until we finally got a glimpse of the bar. “Hey Tommy.” Val called out loud, leaning forward on the table with a sweet grin she flashed the bartender who already had his eyes on us.“Ayyy! Val, Jade, what's up girls? I haven't seen you girls for quite some time now.” he greeted heartily in his usual charming way.We were a bit of regulars at the night club but we haven't really stopped by for a long while. It was surprising he still knew our names or even recognised us, given we haven't been here in like a year or two.“I know right? Funny you still remember us." Val repl
My Contract Boyfriend 21. Cheers to Forever Single.
Jade’s POV.I couldn’t believe I was being coaxed by Valerie into talking about my encounter with that d*ck of a guy. That memory is one I would prefer should stay buried but no, I have to relive it again else, I won’t hear the last of it from her.“There is nothing to talk about, really.” I started.“But there is something.” “Well, it’s not one I really want to talk about because at first, he looked charming and all. I had seen him come out of the pool at the resort for the first time and I immediately thought to myself, ‘damn he’s fine.’ I took a long dramatic pause as the image from that day started to replay in my head right from the moment his dripping wet bare torso came in view before me. I swallowed hard as I tried to push the images behind me and focus entirely on Valerie who was now getting so impatient to hear the rest of the story I really don't wanna tell. “We hit it off pretty well but tragically, I realized later that he was more of a douche than a fine hunk of a gu
My Contract Boyfriend 20. Day off.
Jade’s POV.After my episode with Miss Antonio, I asked to be excused so I could go home for a change but instead of a short break from work, she asked me to take the entire day off.In her words, “Don’t think I’m letting you off easy. But my hands are tied. So just take the rest of the day off and make sure that by the time you return, you’ll be giving me no more headaches.” “Giving me a day off is not necessary ma’am. I am well rested and only need to have a quick change of clothes.” I replied.“Miss Shelton, between the two of us, who gives the orders?” she asked, glaring at me.“You ma’am.”“Now when I say take the rest of the day off, you take the day off, no questions asked. Unless you want me to make working here a living hell for you for refusing to follow my orders.” She threatened and I smiled to myself.“My life is already a living hell here.” I mumbled.“Did you say something?” “No ma’am.” “Well? Go going then. I’m getting tired of seeing that face of yours and I have t
My Contract Boyfriend 19. Meetings and Proposals.
Adrian’s POV.“What is going on there?” I asked Jay who was walking closely behind me on our way to my office.“I don’t know. Let’s check it out.” He answered and we approached the scene.As we got closer, I saw her being scolded by Marilyn for something I was soon to find out. Her eyes soon met mine and I could see the longing in her eyes that begged for me to step in and save her but I didn’t. She suddenly took to her heels as I felt her brush past me. The staffs became aware of my presence and started returning to their posts.“Oh, sir, good morning. I didn’t know you were here. Did you hear any of that?” Marilyn asked, feeling very uneasy.Something was wrong and I needed to know what it was. “To my office. Now!” I demanded and walked away.We got in my office, all three of us. “Um, sir is there a problem?” she flashed a nervous smile.“What the hell was that I witnessed just now?” “Oh, that? That was nothing sir. I was just talking to Miss Shelton on how to do her job right.”
My Contract Boyfriend 18. Defenseless.
Jade’s POV.“And if you can afford a law suit with the company for breach of contract, then I dare you to turn in that resignation letter.”I didn’t give a hoot about anything else he had said that night but these words kept ringing in my head like a broken record. ‘What breach of contract was he possibly talking about?’ I asked myself as I flipped through the pages of the file he had thrown at me. It contained my employee records. As I read through the pages, my mouth dropped down to my jaw and I felt a piercing pain rush through my heart. He had me by the throat and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it.I had totally forgotten all about the contract and now my hands are tied. I sank into my seat as I felt the tears form in my eyes. ‘Why the f*ck am I crying?’I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand and exhaled. ‘This is only for a while. The contract is to last for a year, right? You got this. You can do this, Jade.’‘He wants to see you break but don’t let him get to
