My Contract Marriage To A Billionaire. CHAPTER SEVEN
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

“You have a beautiful room, Anna!” She looked up at me, a toothy grin splitting her face. It was all shades of pink and white, put together. Pink was probably Anna’s favorite color. Explained her obsession with strawberry flavors.The bed was in the middle of the room, almost filled with plushies. My eyes fell on a drawing, presumably the one Anna was working on before she got distracted. “Do you like butterflies?”, I asked, picking up the sketchbook.“Yes! They’re so pretty! And colorful” I smiled at her. My eyes were still lingering on the partly colored wings of the butterfly when Anna blurted the question out of the blue. “Are you daddy’s girlfriend?”My hand stilled on the sketchbook before I put it down. “Who told you that?” I casually asked.“I heard Daddy telling Emma that you are his girlfriend,” she replied unhesitantly. Did she eavesdrop on our conversation? I sighed.“Well, that’s true.”“Are you going to marry him?” Anna fired the question just as soon. I looked at her

EDWARDStephanie's mother, Talia, looked as much as Stephanie. They bore striking resemblance. Talia had a much softer gaze, unlike her husband, Roger, who had been giving me a hard stare since I arrived and halfway through the evening.I had gotten gifts for them and paid for the table-filled dinner we were having. Why was Roger still inflamed? His hard stance, however, did very little to mask his infirmity. The dark patches under his eyes made him look tired and a lot older. It felt like a taunt. I had used his illness to get Stephanie to sign the papers. I felt a little bit guilty and I know I shouldn't.I needed to try to act nice at least. Talia seemed to like me; Olivia, whom Stephanie introduced as her best friend, was drooling over me. It was not new. I normally anticipated that look from every girl. Everyone did except Stephenie, the one I chose as a wife.I was also introduced to another friend of hers, Dean, who happened to be a guy and I didn't like the proximity they had

STEPHANIE “Girl, I still can’t believe you bagged that God-like man.” Olivia's eyes sparkled with excitement as she loudly whispered to me.I chuckled. “Me neither!”“Such a cliché! The hotshot billionaire falls in love with the beautiful little waitress.” I resisted the urge to scoff at her dreamy expression. Love! Right! She couldn’t have been farther away from the truth!When I told her my boyfriend was coming over to dinner, she wasn't this ecstatic about it, and I can't blame her! You just don’t one day out of a sudden announce your boyfriend to your best friend. They know from the very first eye contact, the first kiss, and the first night together. So this abrupt relationship was a bit much for her to stomach.It took a whole lot of convincing and when we were finally past that phase, she felt betrayed. She said that I had curbed her rights as my best friend and it was an absolute breach of best friend policy. Yep, she could be a bit dramatic. It made me feel even worse ab

STEPHANIE On that Monday, I made sure to dress as professionally as I could since it was my first official day at Dan Realty. The week before, Edward successfully allowed me to stay home until dinner at my place last Friday.I styled my hair, applied some powder, and added a touch of gloss to my lips. If he was going to introduce me to his team at the office, I needed to look the part and match his standards.I got there early, and upon reaching the lobby, I was met by an unfamiliar face. He was a tall, brawny guy with thin-rimmed glasses. He was good-looking in a cute way.“Are you Miss Smith?” He required scanning me as if looking for a particular detail. “Yes,” I replied, waiting for him to say his business, but he laughed shyly.“He did say it was a blonde beautiful lady,” He added.Blonde? Beautiful? Was it Edward who sent him? “Who are you? I don't know you?” I enquired. “I apologize, where are my manners?” He cleared his throat and stretched out his hand. “I am Steven Spence

STEPHANIE I was going through the mail when the phone rang. “Stephenie speaking“ It was usually Only Steven who called me. A familiar voice piped up.“My office Now.” And there was a beep indicating that he had hung up. I blinked while still processing it. Did no one think of ever teaching him some manners?“Sure!” I answered the line which was, well, dead.I walked past Steven who smiled at me pointing to Edwards' door. He was always happy even though Edward was a jerk to him and everyone else. I knocked and he grunted a ‘Come in’ on knocking. This time his gaze wasn’t trained on his laptop screen unlike usual. It was on me.“How may I help you, Mr. Dan?”Edward's eyes twitched for a moment, what I had picked up from our interactions, was a sign that he wasn’t pleased about something. “It’s Edward for you.”“I’m afraid you’re my boss here.”“And that’s why you do as I say.” He stated, too calmly, as if raising his voice was beneath him. “Edward” “You’re infuriating!”“I’ve been tol

STEPHANIEI secured the seat belt around me as he started the car. “I’m satisfied by the awful lot of time I have been spending in your vicinity lately,” I said, trying to get over the fact that he tried to kiss me again, or it was just his thing to invade people's space. “Suppose you must be excited at the prospect of moving in.”“Oh yeah…Can’t wait!” I laughed sarcastically before frowning. “Why didn’t you just send your driver to pick me up? I would have liked that a lot better.”“Can’t say I didn’t want to. My Grandmother wouldn’t have been very pleased.” I couldn’t help the corner of my lips from curving up. It was funny, imagining this giant arrogant man getting scolded by his grandmother.I chuckled. “So the bossy and arrogant Mr I-Get-It-All has someone who can keep his ass on the line.”“Excuse me?” I grinned, enjoying the offended tone in his words.“You’re excused.” He exhaled, somewhat exasperated.I looked out of the window, my mood relatively better than it was in the m

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
