THE BILLIONAIRE'S FOREVER CONTRACT FORTY
JASONIt was almost noon time and I could hardly wait to be done with work and go to the club for some relaxation, the plan was for Lucien to meet me there but I was going to call him and confirm his availability, I did not want to drink alone. I got up and walked to the window of my office and looked out, I had a very great view of everyone and everywhere bustling with activity. I could see a woman trying to calm a wailing toddler down and a man standing far apart from them but watching, he was no doubt the father and did not want that sort of drama. She was saying something to the child who suddenly stopped crying and then she brought out a dollar bill from her purse and handed it to him, he bounded away to the nearest candy shop, smiling like he had not just been crying some minutes ago.There was another couple too, holding hands and I wondered immediately why I could see myself and Elizabeth, walking side by side and hand in hand like that one day… it happened suddenly though, on
THE BILLIONAIRE'S FOREVER CONTRACT FORTY ONE
ELIZABETHI needed a damn drink and I told Mara so, ever since we had gotten into the club, my eyes had been darting around, searching for any sign of Jason. I was filled with dread that he might walk in one minute and our eyes would meet across the floor, going out did not feel much like a good idea at that moment because I was still in his grasp.“you need to loosen up and have fun, Liz. That is the reason we are here today and I have just heard from a very reliable source that Jason barely comes to the club except for important matters.” Mara told me, she must have seen me wiggling my fingers.“what if today is the day he decided that there is something important he has to do at the club” I wailed.“then let him, you are a grown woman that has the right to go out and club with friends and not be tied down because of a contract. Why are you the only one that has to stay home and away? He should too”She was right, I was a grown woman and should be allowed to do whatever I pleased wi
THE BILLIONAIRE'S FOREVER CONTRACT FORTY TWO
JASONthe infuriating woman was getting herself drunk at my club, I fumed as I put on a shirt.I was going to strangle her for having me worried like that, I thought she had probably been kidnapped or something but she had just turned off her damned phone.Leave me alone, Jason, her words echoed in my head.Like hell…She had to be joking if she thought that I would leave her to go clubbing in my own club where I knew anything could happen to her.“damn woman” I muttered.“she should hear you cursing at her, then maybe she would know that you actually care about her.” Lucien said from the doorway. He was in a fresh shirt and pants and observing me with keen interest.“shut up, Lucien. Do not add to the rage I am already feeling.” I said, grabbing my keys.“maybe you should leave her alone, just for tonight. The lord knows if I was in her shoes, I would run and never return to your grumpy ass.” He said, following me.“like hell, I will leave her alone for some grubby, hot in the pants
THE BILLIONAIRE'S FOREVER CONTRACT FORTY THREE
ELIZABETHThe harsh rays of the early morning sun filtered through the curtains and I was forced to open my eyes to its glare. I could feel my head throbbing in parts I had no idea originally existed and I groaned audibly, my hands flying up to hold my hair.“you are up, I see”My eyes cleared immediately as I looked at Jason, a shirtless Jason sitting beside me and operating a laptop, he had a useless grin on his face.What had happened last night? I thought, my head still throbbing“what are you doing in my room?” I asked working my mouth, I could not feel my legs at the moment.“your room? look around you, Elizabeth.” He said, smirking in a way you would to an overly disobedient child.My eyes moved lazily around the room and widened in realizationI was in his room!“what am I doing here, in your room. what happened last night” I struggled, slipping a hand to touch my body underneath the duvet. I was still wearing my dress but what was the point, my breasts were literally out of t
THE BILLIONAIRE'S FOREVER CONTRACT FORTY FOUR
JASONI was been an asshole because only an asshole would tell a girl he liked her one minute and then the next that she was too innocent. It was infuriating to not be able to properly express how I felt about her and the fear that if I did something too forward, she would bolt and never come back.I groaned brushing the errant locks of my hair from my eyes, I knew I had to apologize to her immediately and so I made my way to her room. the door was slightly ajar and I could hear laughter filtering through and then a name that stopped me in my tracks.Michael…Who the hell was Michael, I thought with my hand still suspended in the art of knocking.“I’m sorry, I can’t see you today or tomorrow. I would have to get back to you on that, is that alright?” she was saying and then she laughed.I should have left but the sound of her laughing about or with another man just seconds after we had shared…What had we shared? And did it mean so much to just meI turned around and with my back to h
THE BILLIONAIRE'S FOREVER CONTRACT FORTY FIVE
ELIZABETHThe man had absolutely no right to be angry, I thought as we drove to the restaurant.I was the one who should be pissed at his curving of me this morning in his room and his telling me that I was too innocent so why instead did I feel like he was angry about something that I did.There was no way in hell, I was going to be the one to apologize or try to break the obvious ice forming between us and so I kept quiet too, even though my hands were itching to smack him across the head.How could someone so intelligent be so dense in matters like this, was it not obvious how much I liked him? I thought to myself.“you are glaring” he said, his eyes still focused on the road.“excuse me?” I asked“you have been glaring at me for the past minute, is there something I should know or something you want to tell me?” he asked, not glancing in my direction.“there is nothing” I ground out before sighing.Love sure as hell wasn’t supposed to be this tough.Was that what it was? LOVE?We
THE BILLIONAIRE'S FOREVER CONTRACT FORTY SIX
JASONThe sun was surprisingly bright when I woke up the next day and for that brief moment between my eyes closed and opening, the events of the previous night passed through my mind.A new contract with Elizabeth, I was her boyfriend nowI smiled as warmth coursed through my veins, I needed to see her.The flight to her room was swift but yet again I was stopped in the art of knocking by her voice, she was saying something indiscernible but one thing was for certain, she wasn’t speaking to Mara or anyone I knew.I opened the door and smiled at the surprise on her face“let me call you back, Michael” she said, hanging up“I hope I did not interrupt a cozy time between you and your Michael.” I said, standing in the doorway with my arms crossed.“No, he and I were just talking about seeing each other today. Remember the guy I was dancing with at your club?” she asked.“my bartender” I said in clipped toneWas she so utterly blind to be talking to me about her paramour“he is more than
THE BILLIONAIRE'S FOREVER CONTRACT FORTY SEVEN
ELIZABETH“You asked him to be your boyfriend?” Mara yelled.“I know, I am pathetic but I could not just… I wanted us to…”“you love him” She said in realization.My eyes brimmed with unshed tears as I nodded, there was no use denying it now. I was in love with Jason Rodrigues but he only saw me as a gold- digging slut.“I should have known that we are not compatible, his own family expressed their disgust with me but I was blinded by everything. Maybe he is right and I am a gold digger.” I wailed.“You are nothing of that sort and he is an asshole to think that one phone call with a certain Michael would make you one.” Mara reassured me.“Michael is the guy from the club and yes I know what you might be thinking but I swear that there is nothing, I am trying as much as I can to let him down gently without hurting his feelings and we were supposed to meet today. I had plans to do away with today, once and for all.”“Oh God, Liz; you could have just shunned him or stopped picking up hi

CAMILLAIt was useless feeling sorry for myself, I thought.The lighting in the club was low as I stepped in with my friend, Bella.“Not bad” I murmured.“Told you” She responded triumphantly. “This is what you need to get over him. Nathan Clark is an asshole and should dump him in the dust where he belongs”I wanted to correct her that he wasn’t an asshole, he was merely disturbed but I did not.I was not here to sympathize with him or even think about him. I was here to have fun and that is what I am going to do.I was putting on a red dress and it complimented my eyes way more than I thought it would.“Come on, we should get a drink” Bella pulled me to the bar.The bartender winked at both of us and then asked what we would likeIt was at the tip of my tongue to say nothing but I was at a club, wasn’t I?“Sex on the beach” I announced.Bella turned to me, surprise in her eyes. I was pretty sure she thought she would have to force me to drink.“I would have the same” She told the ma
THE BILLIONAIRE'S FOREVER CONTRACT NATHAN
NATHANThere was nothing to say as I dropped Camilla off at her home.I waited until I was sure she had gotten in before I headed in the direction of my mother in law’s house.I pushed in Christian’s number, my teeth gritting as it rang.I was furious.I did not want to admit I was more furious at myself than anything.“How did your date go?” Christian’s asked as soon as the phone line clicked.“Send me the name of the witness” I grunted.“What is wrong?”“Send the name, dammit”“You need to calm down, Nathan. Where are you going?”“To settle this once and for all” I told him. “Now send the damned number to me”I hung up before he had the chance to say anything or convince me to back away because I would not.I drove way above the speed limit, stopping only when I had gotten to the mansion’s gate.It brought back memories of family dinners where I had to defend Eleanor over and over again. Where snide remarks about the reason I was with her reached my ears and she said nothing about
THE BILLIONAIRE'S FOREVER CONTRACT CAMILLA
CAMILLA“I did not think I was ever going to see you again, Camilla” Sarah smiled as soon as I entered the restaurant.She wagged a finger in Nathan’s direction, shaking her head at him.“With the kind of food you sell? I will be coming in here for a very long time” I smiled back.Nathan and I took our seats and waited.She had a queue as usual and I could not help the smile as I glanced around.“You would have watched your father kill me” Nathan commented.“I admit that would have made me feel better for a bit” I told him.He appeared shocked but I could tell from the way his eyes twinkled with delight that he thought it hilarious.I had not expected he would go over to my parent’s house especially seeing as I wasn’t there in the first place.My father however had called me when he arrived with a gun to his head and asked if I wanted to see him. I had hesitated just for the fun of it“I deserved that”“Yes you did” I agreed.“Thank you for coming here with me”I nodded once.Sarah dr
THE BILLIONAIRE'S FOREVER CONTRACT NATHAN
NATHANI was pacing like a fucking clown.I was expecting Camilla at the office today to discuss the project that we were involved in together and I could not help the restlessness coursing through my body.I wasn’t one to be this nervous about anything.“Deep breaths” I told myself, trying to go along with my instructions but to no avail.So much so that when my receptionist announced her presence, I had worked myself into a frenzy.My breath caught in my throat as she walked in, her eyes taking the room before settling on me with stark clarity.What had I been thinking? I thought.Starved of attention?Who was the blithering idiot now?“You look well” She commented, taking the seat in front of me.“You look beautiful” I murmured.She paused, her eyes meeting mine.Sparks flew, that was for sure.“How do you feel?” She asked instead.“Much better. Thank you for attending to me yesterday. For even accepting the phone call from me”“Of course, I am not a demon even though I do hate you
THE BILLIONAIRE'S FOREVER CONTRACT CAMILLA
CAMILLAI stared at my ringing phone with Nathan displayed boldly as the callers ID.What the fuck did he want?I however put it to my ear, my heart jumping at the sound of his voice“Camilla, I know you can hear me” He rasped“What do you want?” I asked.“To talk” He answered.His voice appeared tortured… like there was something wrong with him and for a minute I was concerned before my head overrode my stupidity.“Concerning the project-” I began“Not concerning the-” He sighed, his voice trailing off.“I need you” He muttered softly that if I had not been paying attention, I would have missed that simple statement.“Mr Clark” I stopped when I heard his labored breathing.“Is something wrong with you?”“No, its nothing… I just need to speak with you”“Nathan, what is the matter? You sound distressed”He chuckled and then I heard him cough in the background“You are not concerned about me now, are you?”“This is not a joke, what is wrong with you?” I asked again, feeling panicky.He

CAMILLAMy father drove us straight to the house and I did not argue nor say anything when we arrived and my mother enveloped me in a hug.“Oh baby” She crooned.“I am okay” I reassured her“Come on in”I inhaled the familiar scent of home, my muscles relaxing.“I am going to bed” I announced.Their words fell over themselves as they agreed immediately to my request.My eyes closed as soon as I fell on the bed. I did not want to think of anything, I did not want to begin to analyze the anger in my heart directed at one person in particular.When I finally opened my eyes, it was noon.I made my way downstairs and was met with the searching eyes of both my parents.“Are you okay, baby?” My mother asked.I took a seat beside them.“I am not some fragile child you have to be worried about always, mother” I said.“You are my child and I have every reason to be worried about you” she countered.“I am going to be fine” I told her.My father said nothing but I turned to him anyways.“I have d
THE BILLIONAIRE'S FOREVER CONTRACT NATHAN
NATHANI felt like an absolutely horrible beast or maybe that was what I wasStarved of attention?If there was anything, I would admit that I have been the one acting like a starved and crazed person anytime she was near.I had only said that to infuriate Rodrigues, her father more than he already was.I did not stop to think that she might be listening in or it was the worst thing to say about a girl I have come to like.I winced, rolling my tongue in my mouth as the pain from being punched in the face kicked in.Williams walked into the open room with surprise on his face.”What happened?” He asked immediately.“It is over” I told him, my voice unbelievably calm.“What have you done, Clark”I whirled at him with anger in my eyes“What makes you think I am the one at fault? You are the reason everything has gone to fucking shit” I barraged him. “What did you think was going to happen when you decided to invite Rodrigues and I?”I took a deep breath envisioning Camilla’s disapproving
THE BILLIONAIRE'S FOREVER CONTRACT CAMILLA
CAMILLA“We really need to talk” I heard Nathan whisper from behind me.“I have nothing to speak to you about. Are you ready?” I asked him.“I am but-”“Then we should leave to the bar”I turned to look him over, angry at the flutter in my chest and the way my whole being appreciated his looks.He had jeans on and I never thought anyone would look absolutely stunning in them and there was the shirt he was wearing which was rolled up to his elbows, giving free view of his tattoos.I stilled my panicked heart, turning back around and taking a step before he stopped me with a hand on my arm.“I want to apologize for the things I did earlier. It was mean of me to try to take away the seriousness of your feelings and I am sorry. I should be a better person than that” He had a contrite look on his face as he said this.“I am not mad at you, Nathan” I lowered my voice. “I just feel I am more invested in this business than you are and I need you to be professional and take it seriously”He no
THE BILLIONAIRE'S FOREVER CONTRACT CAMILLA
CAMILLAWhat had I been expecting?A profession of love?I knew the sort of person Nathan was… a hard man and I had thought maybe I would be able to get through to him and why?Because I found him intriguing? Because I loved his view on life or is it because I wanted to do all I could to get out of my father’s shadow.No, that is wrong.Nathan Clark might have been my ticket out but I had come to understand and admire him as an individual.He was a fighter that much was obvious but he was also an asshole.I locked the adjoining door as soon as he left, leaning against it with the tears stinging the corner of my eyes.Another knock“Camilla” My father’s voice came through.“Give me a minute” I called out.I stared at myself in the mirror, running my fingers through my hair.When I opened the door, my father knew immediately that something was wrong.“Are you okay?” He asked“I am fine” I responded. “I was just sleeping” I added so he did not ask any more questions.“I know we should ta
