My Contract Marriage To A Billionaire. CHAPTER FORTY NINE
EDWARD Since I promised Stephanie a dinner date, I wanted to make it perfect. I bought her a limited edition jewelry, to give her, just to show how much I loved her. I booked a whole luxury restaurant for us, hiring an international chef. The plan was that after dinner, I'd surprise her by saying we would have to redo our honeymoon. I got a Yacht and a five-star hotel. I wanted to make life perfect for her. I didn't mind after all this, I'll propose to her properly. I wanted her to just be mine and mine alone. I texted her earlier to remind her we were eating out, and she sounded excited. By seven pm I was at the restaurant waiting for her. I knew she might take a long time trying to look her best, so I was patient, waiting for the most beautiful creature on earth to walk through the door. I waited and ordered a glass of whiskey to start up the night. An hour later, Stephanie had not yet arrived. I became worried, I tried to call her but she didn't pick up. I called my driver, wh

STEPHANIE Edward had texted to tell me to meet him for dinner by seven pm, I was excited. I began dressing up early. I was sitting in front of my dressing mirror, applying some makeup when my phone rang. It was Maison. I didn't want to pick up at first, but I decided to. I just wanted to tell him to stay away from me. ‘Hey babe’ he started ‘I missed you so much’ “Why are you calling me?” I asked in a harsh tone. ‘Hmmm you don't sound happy to hear my voice but anyway, I want to meet up with you’“I cannot. I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore”‘Well I still do’ he laughed annoyingly ‘I came to visit your Dad and Mom’ “How did you know where they are staying?”‘Still don't believe me? Wait a sec’I heard him walk up to someone handing the phone over. ‘Hi honey’, I heard my mother's voice and an uncomfortable sensation filled my body. ‘Maison came into town and decided to visit us. Did you see how he changed?’ she laughed. ‘He’s still such a nice guy’ I pretended t

STEPHANIE I found myself in an unfamiliar house. Seeing Maison, I knew that it was his place, but I had no idea how I got there. I just needed to go home. Then it dawned on me, Edward. He must have been waiting for me in the restaurant. Oh my God! The fear I had for Maison had made me disappoint Edward. I felt sick in my stomach. He must be really mad. “Come to bed, baby girl”, Maison said to me, and I wiped my eyes because I was almost crying. Was I drugged? I needed to be as calm as possible since I was alone with him, I didn't want him to hit me. “I have to check up on my daughter, I do it every night”, I almost whispered. “She's not even your daughter Stephanie” His voice contained a little bit of anger.“She became my child when I married Edward.” I got on my feet and began looking for my purse and my phone. I needed to call Edward. “That's why you should leave him. You'll be free” I didn't want to provoke him by saying no “Just get me my purse, it's late”I watched him r

STEPHANIE I waited for Edward to return until it was 2 am. I guessed he slept out. I just hope he had not gone to drink to stupor. I had cried my eyes out and there were no tears left to cry. I was still in my dress and shoes, not ready to change yet. I was seated on the floor, I know I looked haggard. Ever since I had known Edward, I had never seen him sleep out before. This must have hurt him. I was mad at Maison but I was more mad at myself. Why did I believe him and go to him? He really wouldn't have murdered my parents; I just have this fear for him I can't get rid of. I wanted to call him and scold him but I felt that he would be more happy if he heard me crying. I took off my shoes and got up, I needed to leave before Edward returned drunk and wouldn't like my presence. I should respect him at least. As I walked, I felt weak. My body felt as if I was beaten. I was guilty and sorry. I went into my room and collapsed on the bed. When I thought my life had gotten better, t

EDWARD I was so angry at Stephanie and I didn't want to see her until I heard a thud on the ground. Turning around I saw that she was on the floor. I rushed to her and lifted her head to see that she had fainted. I was afraid, even though I might be mad and all, I didn't want to lose her.I quickly carried her in my arms, calling Steven to help with the car. He was a fast driver and I was grateful to him for the first time. I stared at Stephanie, head resting on my body. Her eyes were swollen and she looked exhausted. I was sorry, but it would not have been great to forgive her easily. I did a background check on this ex-boyfriend of hers, and he was a psychopath. He sold drugs secretly and was part of a gang. I was surprised how Stephanie would have ended up with someone like that. I guessed she didn't know because she didn't look like anyone with a dark past or was trying to hide how crooked she was. I believed her story, Maison was capable of drugging someone and taking advan

STEPHANIE I had been at home for almost a week because Edward ordered me to rest and stay indoors. I know he can be overprotective at times but this was much. He asked Jude to accompany me anytime I was going out. I asked him the reason and he said he just wanted me safe. I had to spend more time with Anna, Rose had returned home but promised to be back. I enjoyed her company, she always tried to make sure I was comfortable. I called my mom and told her what happened between me and Maison and told her to avoid him and never let him into the house again. My mom was surprised because she never knew Maison to be a horrible person, so I had to apologize for lying before. I told her how he harassed me before and she was really sad. But I told her I was lucky now to have Edward. I made dinner and we waited for Edward to return. I took up my habit of making food if I was bored. It had not been all lovey-dovey for me and Edward since I returned from the hospital. He wasn't angry at me b

STEPHANIE I swear I didn't realize it when I said Maison's name. I was a fool, a very stupid one. He stared at me before closing my legs, he sat at the edge of the bed, looking away. I started apologizing continuously and I had to do more. “I'm sorry Edward, I didn't know when I said that” He was silent. His face was void of any emotions. I adjusted my dress and slipped towards him. “Please” I touched his arm.“Tell me, Stephanie, I want the truth” His face was serious. “Do you still love him?”“I cannot love someone who has hurt me countless times.” I dropped my arms. “I hated him before I even ended things with him, and he went to jail.” I felt like I needed to explain everything to him. “It was two months before I met you that we broke up. He not only hurt me physically but he traumatized me, that I couldn't have a shut eyes without seeing him attempting to hit me again in my dreams. He was the guy I'd been with the longest. Please don't be mad” He didn't move an inch. “Please

STEPHANIE I was afraid. I had looked around for her, everywhere a kid could be. I met with the authorities, and everyone began to look for Anna. I felt like crying because I didn't know what to do. What would Edward say? How would he react to hearing his daughter was missing? The first time I had a day out with her and this happened? My skin was covered in goosebumps, shivering from fear. Poor Anna must be so scared.The authorities were not making any progress in finding her, so I picked up my phone to call the police and Edward when I remembered that we hadn't checked the ice cream shop area. I knew that Anna wasn't a child to wander off like that because of something she likes but never say never. I ran to the stall to find a young ice cream man. “Please sir have you seen a child about this tall” I gestured with my hand “Petite and dark hair” he stared at me as if trying to remember, “She's wearing pink and blue swimwear”“Oh I saw her leave with her dad after getting strawberr

STEPHANIE Edward got home, still recuperating from his injury, I had to move back in to take care of him. He couldn't use his hand properly or his body to do any harsh activities. I needed to be by his side. Anna was so happy I returned, they had told her I went on a trip. She kept on asking what I got her and I had to ask Emma to go get her the latest doll she had always wanted. Emma wrapped it up and I gave it to her as a gift. As a workaholic that Edward was, staying home wasn't funny for him. He still tried to work from home but I always reminded him that he should rest just like the doctor had suggested. I met him slumped on the couch in our room watching sports news. He looked exhausted. I laughed “You look like you're about to die because they asked you to stay home and recover” “Trust me now I'm getting an experience of what you felt while staying home all through that period” I smiled and sat beside him. “Have you taken a shower?” “Not yet. I feel so lazy right now,” h

STEPHANIE “GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF MY WIFE!!” Edwards' voice rumbled and thundered down the street, and immediately, Maison let go of me. “So you brought your husband huh?” He threw me a very dirty look. “I thought I had told you to come alone. Now you're really going to get it dirty when we get home” He dug his hand into his back pocket and brought out a dagger before lunging into Edward, and they struggled with who would hit whom. I wasn't expecting to see Edward. How did he know what was going on and came? For some reason, I'm glad he came, but for another, I'm not; what if he gets stabbed? They gave themselves an equal share of beatings until Maison cut Edward on the arm. I just screamed where I was. Edward was trying to hit the knife out of his hand but he proceeded to pierce him with the knife in his abdomen. I felt like fainting. Edward managed to hit the knife out of his hands and held him to the ground, it didn't take a second before Sam and his team came and grabbed

STEPHANIE I ignored my mother who had seen me and Edward outside. I walked upstairs avoiding her gaze. I was ashamed of myself and also angry. I had ruined Edwards' life. I locked my door, slumped on the floor, and cried more. Thinking about it, how could Edward even want me back after knowing I slept with another man? What kind of a lover was he? I've never seen someone love me this bad in my life. I needed to do something concerning all these. I cannot sit back and watch Maison soil Edwards's name. I don't mind dying because of this. I needed to make things right. I should save the one who loves me more than the way I love him. I thought about it for some days before concluding. I picked out my phone and called Maison hoping he would pick up. He did, and I said. “You wanted me right? Now you can have me” ‘What are you saying?’ He clearly was pleased with those words. “But please don't ruin Edwards's name, please, I beg you, Maison. You can have me as you want.”‘Is it now you

EDWARD Stephanie was wearing his clothes, looking haggard, she had slept over, did she just have sex with him? Her mom had told me that she had gone to see me yesterday. But I never saw her, I just guessed she would be here, and here she was, in another man's clothes. “What are you doing here?” I asked her. “What are you doing here?” She asked me back. “You have no right to be here” She began walking down the stairs. “I do, you're fucking just leaving a man's apartment”“Just the way you fucking left a woman's apartment before coming here to pretend to beg” She was angry. “What?” I didn't understand her statement. She laughed “Edward you're funny” “I don't understand” She walked up to me, and I could smell tobacco and earth on her, it was unusual. She always smelt fresh and flowery. “Let me tell you something, you and I are never getting back together. Never” Perhaps did she hear about me and Camille but no one would tell her. “You cannot say that” “Edward you cannot stand h

STEPHANIE Gabriel kissed me roughly as if he had been craving for my body just like I was craving for a body. His hands caressed every inch of my body. I didn't mind that he was all muddy and could stain my clothes, I wanted his hands all over me. He hit me against the wall. Getting rid of my shirt first. Sucking my neck and chest. I ran my fingers through his soft locks. I was dripping wet, I had forgotten my pain. I just imagined that I was doing everything with Edward. He placed me on a console, taking his shirt off. He studied me before leaning in to kiss me slowly. He carried me into his workroom, to his pottery station, and laid me on the muddy floor gently. I stared at him. “What are you doing?” He smirked. “Just relax” He began to take off my clothes, and soon I was naked before him. “You're a total work of art” I just watched him. He took off his clothes before walking towards a heap of mud. He grabbed a bowl of muddy water and poured some on himself. I was surprised,

STEPHANIE I was into the kiss, my hands travelling to Gabriel's neck, when I realised that this wasn't right. I quickly pulled away to his surprise. “I'm so sorry. I can't do this” I said, getting up. “I'm not even supposed to be here” What was wrong with me? How could I kiss someone whom it has not been a week since I met? I was married, I shouldn't appear cheap before Gabriel. “Stephanie,” he called me. I refused to turn for fear that what would happen next might be more intense. “Stephanie please wait” I turned around. “I'm really sorry” “It's not your fault. It is my fault. I don't know what's wrong with me” I ran my fingers through my hair. “I have feelings for someone else” Gabriel stared at me with concern in his eyes. “It's normal to feel something for someone and at the same time feel something for another” “That’s not true” “You shouldn't deny your heart what it wants and your body what it craves,” He said softly. “I don't know you, Gabriel. I can't say I feel someth

STEPHANIE I didn't feel bad as Edward saw me on Gabriel's back. I felt happy so he would know that I could be special to any other man. I slid down his back and he watched me with concern. “Are you sure, I shouldn't take you inside?” “I have to speak to that man,” I gestured to Edward. I faced him properly. “Thank you so much, I would have been in lots of trouble without you. I'll come over later” Gabriel smiled. “I'll be expecting you” As he turned to leave, he gave Edward a quick look before walking away. I frowned when I turned to Edward. I limp slowly to where he is. “What are you doing here?” “Who was that guy?” “That's none of your business” Seriously, that's the first question Edward would ask me?He looked at my legs “What happened to you?” “Nothing much, I sprained my ankle” “Then you should get a doctor immediately” I stared at him with a frown. “What are you doing here?”He was silent for a while before walking up to me and sweeping me off the ground. He carried me

EDWARD I studied Camille as she said those words. How can this woman be so ruthless? I don't even know when she began loving me. “When did this all begin” “Hmm?” “When did you begin having a thing for me, I've known us to be best friends?” She smiled “Remember when you punched Raymond into a pool, that's when it all started”I shifted my head to the side. This was years ago in junior high school. We attended Raymond's birthday party, and when he saw her, he began teasing her for being so small. She began to cry. When I saw what Raymond did to her, I was offended and dashed to him, punching him and he fell into the pool behind. It was a very long time ago, I wasn't expecting it to be something that would make someone fall for someone. Plus she was my best friend. “Camille, we were kids,” I told her. “Well not anymore and you can keep to your word” “I cannot marry you” I was a bit offended. “I'm not asking you to marry me, I just want you as my man” “That cheating on Stephanie

EDWARD My bed felt cold without Stephanie beside me. The past few days have been a hard one for me. I couldn't concentrate well at work or home. I then realised the big hole in my life If Stephanie was not in it. The only time I got to hear her voice was when she called Anna to say hello. I had gone and tried apologising but she wouldn't listen. I wanted to give her space but I cannot live without her. I couldn't sleep and decided to go apologise this time forcing her to hear me out. Reaching her doorstep, I alighted only to find her on another man's back. They were talking, and she seemed relaxed and happy. Who was this guy that could make my woman happy? I was furious. Stephanie didn't know that everything I had done, I was doing it for her. It was getting to the busiest time of the year for me. There was a pile of work to do and lots of places to go. Sometimes it gets so busy that I would arrive home when Stephanie was asleep. I wanted to spend more time with her, especially
