My Contract Marriage To A Billionaire. CHAPTER ONE
STEPHANIE “And here is a vanilla milkshake for the sweet girl”. Little giggles follow as I drop the glass down. The diner was a little less crowded compared to other Friday evenings. And I had enough time to share with my little friend who laughed showing a gap between her teeth due to a fallen tooth. “Thank you, Steph”, I bent down to her height and she placed a kiss on my cheek. This was our usual thing. A few months ago, she had walked in with Emma, her babysitter. She was kind of bummed because some kids at school had been mean to her. Some kids can be really cruel. She was a sweet little girl who was not capable of any harm. They made her cry that day and my milkshake saved the day. It reminded me of a few nights ago, I was serving at one of the tables and a little boy, after a brief observation, had stated that I was dumb because all blondes are supposedly dumb. I had kept my mouth shut and walked away, knowing very well that nothing decent would come out of it. I didn't bl

EDWARD“I want this report completed by the end of the day.” I slammed the poor excuse of a report on the desk and glared at the man who kept standing there looking stupid. It has only been a week since he joined and my patience is running thin.“Do you understand?” He flinched at my harsh tone.“Yes, Mr. Dan.” Just then, the door to my cabin opened and my father walked in followed by our lawyer. If I were to go by my father’s expression, it was something concerning. I shifted my gaze back to my assistant still standing in front of me.“Leave!” He quickly got hold of the file and scurried out of the cabin.“Dad?” I called out to him, so he could spill the beans already. He and Mr. Davis took the seats opposite me. “Edward, Mr. Davis is here to read your grandfather’s will.” It wasn’t something I was expecting. Granddad passed away about a month ago and his will had not been brought up since. I leaned back in my seat and loosened the tie around my neck. This was it, a lifetime of wealt

STEPHANIE“Enjoy your meal,” I said quietly, quickly passing a polite smile to the customers seated at the last booth, I walked back to the counter.The Diner was quite full. I was about to grab my pad to take another booth when I heard Anna’s voice.The next few seconds were chaotic. I turned around and everything happened in a snap of my fingers. She collided with the legs of Amy, another waitress who lost her balance, and the glasses she was carrying, crashed down on the floor.“What the hell!?” A lady sitting in the adjacent booth shrieked. My eyes fell upon her dress which was a bit spoiled by the drinks. A moment of commotion before there was a second of complete silence.“I’m sorry-“ Amy was cut off by the seething customer.“Shut up! Is your stupid sorry going to get this stain off?” She glared at her before her furious glance settled on Anna and my heart skipped a beat.“And you! Why are you running around?” Anna flinched at her tone and so did I. The way the woman was glaring

EDWARD This was not how I had imagined the day to turn out for us. This day was supposed to be enjoyable for Anna. A father and daughter moment but Instead, it began with tears. I was one second away from getting the hell out of this place but stopped when Anna nodded to a milkshake Steph who turned out to be a waitress and not a kid offered. It is difficult to believe that in today’s world people would lift a finger for someone unless it is serving some ulterior motives of their own. Could be depressing, seeing things from my own perspective but I deemed it advisable. That is how things work in the real world, one works their way up the ladder and stays on top of their business.My thoughts were interrupted when I saw her walking up to us. “A Strawberry milkshake for the pretty girl!” She stopped before us and most dramatically placed the glass in front of Anna who in turn giggled.“Steph, This is my daddy.” Anna grabbed my hand and beamed at her. I supposed that was my cue to

STEPHANIE “I need those documents right now. And here’s the draft. Make the necessary changes and bring them back to me.” the HR said, sliding the file across the table to me. “Sure.” I replied exhausted already.It’s been a week since I joined this furniture company as the HR assistant and to be honest I had some inefficient subordinates. I was left under a lot of work pressure but I knew that I was going to make this work, I had to.I leaned back in my seat to relieve my neck which hurt from sitting straight for hours. My phone rang only a second later. It was an unknown number. I waited for the person to speak first, something I have always done.“Edward Dan on this side. Am I speaking to Ms. Smith?” The familiar, authoritative voice filled the brief silence. Edward Dan as in Anna’s father. I remembered that name but what I didn’t remember was any unfinished business that he could call me for.“Speaking. How may I help you?” I heard some shuffling on the other side.The reply came

STEPHANIE “Stephanie. Hear me out.” The way my name rolled off his tongue did something stupid to my stomach. I turned around and waited for him to get on with it.“You would get a job here and I’ll offer you thrice or more than your current salary. You won’t have to work two jobs. We need to be married for two years. After that, we can go our separate ways.” He said to me and I replayed his words in my mind. He did miss the part where he explained what he would get out of it.“What’s in it for you?” He seemed to be reflecting on his answer, stroking his chin in the process.“My grandfather’s will. I need to get married by the end of this year or I’ll lose the business to someone.” The first thought that came to me was that this ‘granddaddy’ must have been demented while alive. Mom always thought that we shouldn’t speak ill of the dead but who in their sane mind would write such a will!?“Where’s Anna’s mother?”“Not in the picture.” This time the answer was a little too spontaneous

STEPHENIE The moment I set the pen down, my head started swarming with doubts. A headache banged away incessantly in my head, all the while feeling Edwards scrutinizing gaze on me.“Now that it’s settled, we need a story.”“A story?” I asked,“Of how we met?” His face held an expression that clearly said that I was a bit dense. My brain hadn’t quite processed the fact that I had signed those papers. It’s not every day that one agrees to a contract marriage.“At the Diner. We met at the diner when Anna brought you there.” I suggested it and it was technically true.Edward nodded once. “That should do.”Could I leave already? I had heard enough of this conceited man to last me a lifetime. I stole a glance at my watch. “Are we done here? I have a job and I’m running late.”He stared at me blankly. “You don’t need that job anymore.”“I do until I get the appointment letter.” I hated it when someone tried to dictate my actions. It was a feeble attempt at getting the point across.He sighe

STEPHANIE “You’re late.” Edward declared as soon as I got into the passenger seat of his car. He had sent me a message that he was outside and I should quickly get dressed and meet him. Does this man ever plan something? He had told me to be ready for him but not like this, in minutes. I quickly put on a short dress, picked up my bag, and ran outside to see his flashy car which stood out in my street. I hissed, he was showing off, or perhaps he wasn't, he was just rich. I got into the car. The inside of the car smelled of musk, new car scent, and rich leather.“Where are we going?” I asked.“You’ll see when we get there. We are late” He didn't even glance once at me as if he didn't just ask me to meet up with him without notice. I was angry as it was. “Why didn't you dress up properly?” He asked.What did he mean? I didn't know when I blurted out “Can you shut up? I don’t wanna hear your voice right now.”He did keep quiet and just sat there still staring ahead. Didn't he just say

STEPHANIE I was so caught up in Edward being in the room, that I failed to notice that Maison had pulled up his pants and brought out a knife directing it to my neck. He pulled my hair, and I got up, standing before him, the knife sitting on the crook of my neck. The police pointed a gun at him and he settled the knife into my neck more. “If you move, I'll kill her”, he shouted, pulling me to the door. Everyone moved aside, they didn't want to do anything and have him stab me.I was crying now, I was happy that at least I got to see Edwards's face one last time before maybe I died. It was good to know that people care about me. I stared at Edward, worry and fear were all over him. I cannot believe he had come this far to rescue me. Now there was nothing to make me doubt his love for me. Maison pulled me out of the door, halfway through the hallway, before pushing me away. He ran and the police went after him. I stood there crying and Edward walked up to me, embracing me immediate

STEPHANIE Maison met me curled up on the living room sofa when he came down in the morning. I couldn't find a way to escape and I couldn't sleep, I just lay there till morning. I was lost in thoughts but his cold fingers brought me back to reality. He placed his hands on my thigh “What are you doing down here?” He asked me. “Came down yesterday begging for an escape” the lady with the dark hair I met last night said. She laughed “She didn't know that there's no way out” I stared at Maison. He wasn't drunk anymore. He sat down beside me. His voice was gentle. “How long am I going to keep begging you to stay with me” I wasn't one to answer that question, so I got on my feet and wanted to walk away, but he grabbed my hand and pulled me down into him. “You don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you”, he said as I struggled to break free; I was sitting on his legs now. When I had gotten exhausted and decided to stay put, he used that opportunity to begin to touch me. “You shoul

EDWARD We tracked the phone and went back to the house we first went in search of Maison. We met a young boy this time. Sam asked to go in and we sat with him. “We traced a call from three days ago to this place” Sam looked at his hand, “It's this phone you're having now. Tell me why did you call the lady that day?” he began questioning the boy. “I did not,” The boy said turning away. “You called her before the accident and said nothing, just misplaced words” “I did nothing” he repeated. I just watched them. If Sam cannot get something out of this kid, I'll have to strangle him and get something from him myself. “It is your voice kid” Sam took out a recorder and played the recorded voice note. “Are you still going to deny it?” He kept quiet. I was exhausted “Hey how old are you?” I asked him and he answered.“I just turned eighteen” “Then I hope you know that if you are checked and by chance have anything to do with the disappearance of that young lady you'll no longer go to

STEPHANIE Maison didn't mind my screams and cries. He was after pleasuring himself. He took off my underwear and opened my legs. He held me in a place and I could not move. He took off his shirt and unbuckled his belt, revealing his dick, which was all up and red burning with desire. “Maison, please don't do this”, I begged, but the look in his eyes showed that he was not willing to let go of me. “I'm hurt” I mumbled. He was leaning into me, and I shut my eyes, trying to subdue the pain I was about to feel.But instead, I felt his grip on me reduced, and his weight on me lifted. I opened my eyes slowly. He had gotten up and adjusted his trousers. I quickly got up and dressed myself too. He picked up his shirt without turning back, and he left. I was grateful he didn't rape me, at least he has a conscience. I got up and dressed properly. For a moment I thought he was going to have sex with me. I would have really counted him a monster truly if he did. He had been obsessed with me,
My Contract Marriage To A Billionaire. CHAPTER SIXTY
STEPHANIE I had no appetite, looking at the varieties Maison displayed on the table. The pain had reduced and the bleeding too. I laid in bed and began to feel uncomfortable. I got up and sat on the floor. It was night with no sign of a way to escape or anyone looking for me. I was starving and very weak. I looked at the table filled with food. Maison had brought food and clothes earlier. I knew I needed food for strength, but I didn't have the appetite to eat. I got up and sat by the table.I heard key sounds behind the door, and soon, the door was opened, Maison appeared in the doorway, looking intimidating. He sat in front of me, watching me. “You know you don't have to be locked in here for long, all you have to do is marry me and divorce your husband” “Where did you learn to become a monster, Maison? I once loved you, you were a caring guy with a good heart. Even when I found out you were in a gang, I didn't leave you because you were the best man I had been with, but then you

EDWARD I sat in front of the police detective who was asking me diverse questions about Stephanie. They found her car, crashed without a sign of her in it. She had an accident, but what happened after? I almost cried when I got a sighting of the vehicle. The night she went missing passed by quickly without me catching a glimpse of sleep or rest. We had contacted all hospitals by that side in case she was admitted to a hospital but none took in a victim of an accident. Her mother had run over to my place, struck with worry, I assured her that I'd look for Stephanie. We didn't gain any good news that night, all security footage didn't capture that particular place where she had an accident. My thoughts ran to Maison, but I didn't want to believe he had anything to do with Stephanie yet. Emma was asked a few questions and she told the detective that Stephanie had been going to her parents sometimes and coming back before I returned. She had left yesterday, saying she would come back

STEPHANIE I bled till morning earning just a tossed sanitary pad and towel from Maison. Was I really pregnant for Edward, or was it just an early period? Thinking about it, I wasn't sure I had my period last month, I didn't track it, and I was always having unprotected sex with Edward. The pain was unbearable but I couldn't do anything about it. I didn't have my phone with me or anything. After cleaning myself up, I lay on the bed twirling in pain. I was hurt. If I knew I had Edward's child, I would have done anything to keep it. I felt bad that I didn't even know I was pregnant. How can a woman not know she's with a child? I felt weak because I'd lost lots of blood, I had become pale and sickly. The sun had come up properly, when I saw the door open and Maison walked in. He stared at me for a moment before saying, “A doctor is here for you, you'll be fine in minutes” Immediately, what came across my mind was to tell the doctor that I had been kidnapped and he should help, but t

STEPHANIE Edward didn't like the name Maison or the statement that came after. “What?” he asked, fury already lingering in his eyes. I regret telling him. “When we were in the water park for a moment we couldn't find Anna, I wanted to call you but I found her with Maison behind an ice cream shop” “What?” Edward sprang to his feet, picking up his phone, and I followed. He was dialing a number. He was calling the cops. “He didn't hurt her, I swear” “But this is a threat, it's high time I get this over and done with.” He was frustrated, running his fingers through his hair. “What the fuck does he want from me?”“It is me,” I said quietly. “He said I should have a divorce and come back to him or he'll make my life miserable. “Why didn't you tell me this?” “Because it's my fault, it's my problem, I was the one who dated him. I didn't want to drag you into this” “You're my wife, Stephanie, we fucking shared a vow”, his voice rumbled. “Under a contract,” I said. I needed to know wh

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
