My Contract Marriage To A Billionaire. CHAPTER THIRTY SIX
EDWARD Having Stephanie around brought a little bit of change. We usually don't have dinner together, but now we do, especially on weekends. I sometimes miss it when I work late, but her cooking has been drawing me home early. But today I'm avoiding going home to face her, as the guilt I've been trying to keep at bay is starting to surface.My father acknowledged my efforts and signed the will to me. I have gotten what I wanted but I wasn't as happy as I thought I would be.I met with Ryan after work because I've been bothered about Stephanie. For the past few days, she seemed like a ghost. Didn't talk much. At work, she stays behind her desk till it is time to go. She doesn't look up at me and I didn't bother to give her anything to do. She sleeps on her side of the bed but doesn't say anything like before, her back turned to me. Every day as early, she returns to her room before I even wake up. I realised she was upset with me for not admitting my feelings for her, but I had no c

EDWARD It was another weekend, and I arrived home early to be greeted by a table filled with different delicacies. Stephanie had been cooking with Martine again. Emma invited me to sit and I did, wondering where Stephanie was because she was the only one missing from the table. I was about to ask after her when she walked out with a plate of blanched vegetables; she placed it before Anna, playfully pinching her nose. “Eat your vegetables if you want some ice cream tomorrow night”, she said gently, and Anna laughed while picking up a stick of carrot to eat. Anna didn't like to eat her vegetables unless forced to. I was impressed, Anna didn't even hesitate to begin. Stephanie sat beside me and everyone dug in. I wasn't a food person, but lately, I craved her meals as if it was some medication I could not miss. It reminded me again of my mother's meal. “How's work today?” My Grandmother asked me.“Great. I mostly worked with Dad today,” I replied, not wanting to miss the taste of th

STEPHANIE I was confused did Edward drink before coming home because I knew that on a normal day he wouldn't open his mouth to apologize to me. These words were the sweetest thing he had ever said to me. The confused look on his face showed that he wasn't pleased with my question. I tried to push his hand away and he let me. I turned around and faced him properly. “The last time you tried to care about me, next morning you said I wasn't your type” I didn't know why I was this calm, perhaps it was because of the curls from his wet hair, his eyes intently planted on me and those hands holding me. Or because he said the words I've never heard before. “You might wake up tomorrow and say you regret apologizing to me” “I promise you I won't” That husky voice pierced through my ears and it seemed as if he was a totally different person. Did his grandmother ask him to apologize or what? I shouldn't trust him immediately. “There's no need to apologize. This is all going to be over and I'

STEPHANIE I stood in front of my mirror staring at my reflection. Edwards words from last night came flowing into my mind. ‘For some reason I don't understand but I want more’‘I promise I won't change tomorrow. You can hold this message against me if I do’I touched my neck, then my breasts, squeezing the latter. The blue in my eyes had a sudden spark in them and I wondered if it was because of the feeling I had that Edward had changed. My hair looked straight, dry and needed a proper brushing so I decided to take a shower before going downstairs. I stepped into the shower letting the warm water rain on me. As I brushed my hair with my fingers, all that was going through my mind was Edward. What would it feel like to have him in a bath with me, his naked frame before me. The water falling off his rib sheen skin. His hair curly and those brown eyes staring deep into my soul. I touched my body remembering his touch from last night and I felt a heat wave rush down my body. I open

STEPHENIE That Sunday was the best I ever had in Edward's house. We spent the entire afternoon together until Aisha's message came in. ‘I’m having a girls night out. Well, it wasn't planned, but can you come out tonight?”I was holding Anna in my arms, she was asleep, so I took her up to her room and decided to go but bring Olivia along. I texted Aisha and she quickly agreed. I went to my room and the staff hadn't moved my things out yet, so I dressed up. I wore a skimpy white dress, applied lots of makeup and finished the look with a gold high sandal heel. I didn't bother telling Edward, I didn't even know where he was, but I told Emma that Aisha invited me to a party. I went to the ground floor and used my new car. I'd never had a car in my entire life, so I was excited. I drove to Olivia's house and honked loudly before alighting. Not long I saw her open her window curtains, closing them back before coming out. She was dressed for the party. “Girl, you are making alot of noise

EDWARD I came out of my office after having a long call with Ryan about the construction going on at Old Musty. I walked downstairs only to find out that Stephanie had gone out to meet Aisha. It was strange. I thought we were having our bonding time. I bought her a car, had it delivered overnight and tried my best to make her feel okay, but evening came, and she popped out. Did she find me boring or what? I guess Emma could see the anger in my eyes, so I left her presence. Sitting in my lounge, I picked up my phone and decided to check Aishas Instagram story. She posted a video with her friends, Xena and Susan, all dressed up for a party. They were singing along to a song, the doorbell rang, and Aisha rushed to open the door, letting Stephanie and Olivia in. Aisha hugged Stephanie, welcoming her cheerfully, telling her and Olivia to spin around showcasing their dresses, and the video ended. I replayed it again. Stephanie was wearing a white short flare dress open at the back and

STEPHANIE Immediately, Edward stormed away, I turned to the girls, and Aisha held a grin. “And that's what we call romantic,” she laughed. “My man has never had an issue with me coming here” She turned to Xena and Susan. “Have your man ever done this?” They shook their head ‘No’Olivia rubbed my back “Having a protective man is awesome, in fact, that phrase ‘Youre mine and mine alone’ did things to my stomach” “I agree” Xena joined before peeking in his direction “Go on your man is waiting” I looked back, his car was just sitting there. I gave Olivia my key telling her I'll come pick up my car the next day and hug them goodbye. As I got to the car, Edward came out and opened the door for me before slamming it. He was angry, I knew, I was supposed to be angry at him too but I was not. The fact that he was jealous I loved it. The entire ride was silent. I didn't say a word to him. When we got home, I started to go upstairs with him following up behind me. I didn't look back or atte

STEPHANIE I didn't realize it was morning until I felt gentle kisses on my back. I turned around slowly to be greeted by Edwards' face. He was staring at me with nothing but love in his eyes and I felt a little bit embarrassed. It was a long night we had, I still felt weak. “Morning, Little bird,” he said, leaning in to kiss my forehead. I pulled the sheets over my chest properly. The sun had been up for a while, and the exposed curtains showed it. “You're late for work” I whispered. He didn't move “Remember I own the company” I chuckled “Humble brag” I closed my eyes. “I want to stay in bed all day,” I groaned. “You should stay but you have to work. You asked me to make you work, remember?”I opened my eyes and smiled, he was getting up now. “Can I get a day off Mr Dan?” He turned to glare at me before lunging forward, his face on mine. “You're looking for trouble, aren't you?” I laughed “I would love to stay in with you but you know I can't” he used his fingers to graze my br

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,

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

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 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

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
