THE UNVEILED CONTRACT Chapter 29
Adrian’s POVMy wife seemed to believe that I was a good person. Why did I think so? Because she obviously seemed to think I was not capable of playing rough.Alexandra was hurt. I was angry about it. I needed a place to direct my anger. Someone hurt my wife, they needed to be punished. A name finally appeared.Macmillan. Katrina’s father. Alexandra’s best friend’s father. It didn’t matter who it was. He had hurt the wrong person.Alexandra denied it. She was hiding something from me again and this time it seemed she was more scared than unwilling to tell me. Someone had threatened her. That made me even more angry. Alexandra probably already knew who was behind all of this but she would not tell me. No problem then. I would fish the person out.“Sir, it’s time. Everything has been prepared.” My assistant whispered to me after he quietly sneaked into the room. Alexandra was sleeping.I nodded and waved him off.I rose from my seat and approached Alexandra’s sleeping figure. I adjusted

Adrian’s POVPeople had often told me that I was a cruel man. I accepted it. I was cruel when making business deals but I rarely got angry. Not just the small dissatisfactions I’d have. No. When I was angry, all hell would break loose. Why? I’d break down the gates that’s why.I didn’t let my anger pile up. No. If I did, when I exploded and all my pent up feelings led to a horrible outburst, everyone around me would leave scarred. But I rarely ever got angry.“I don’t get angry much, you know, but-“ I let out a sinister chuckle, “but, you guys really did push your luck. It’s fine. I’m ready to play this game. And to whoever started it, I shall be the one to end it.”Lucian’s eyes were bulging, panicked, as he stared at the items on the table.“Y-you g-gu-uys can’t d-do this to m-me!” Lucian desperately struggled now.“I can and I already am.” I motioned at my subordinates and they gave me a surgery glove.I can not afford to get blood on me, I will have to go back to the hospital imm

Alexandra’s POVSometimes, my actions, thoughts, and feelings differ and contradict each other.I would want to commit to my feelings and thoughts of fear, wanting to accept affection, and my insecurities, but I remain and act courageously even when I’m stifled with fear. The mortifying ordeal of wanting to be loved and being seen as vulnerable drives me to reject affection, and I act confident even when the bits of imperfection I see in the mirror chip away at it.But maybe courage isn’t actually the absence of fear but acting regardless of it, and maybe confidence isn’t the absence of insecurity but knowing you have real worth despite it.Just. Maybe.~I felt my head banging as I tried to open my eyes. The bright light above me burned at my eyes the moment I opened them, preventing me from keeping them open. I closed my eyes and groaned.My body felt heavy as I struggled to move my arm up to my face. I covered my eyes with my arm. An aching feeling resonated through my back. I tens

Adrian’s POVI watched as Alexandra froze.The feeling in her eyes The emotions. They shifted, and suddenly I saw hostility.Here it comes. The misunderstanding. This always happened whenever Penelope got involved with us. We would enter a strange stalemate. I would not let that happen anymore; I now knew what was wrong, and I would not let that old hag have her way. She already got her silly revenge when Old Man Bennett was killed; she had no right to go after the whole family now. Well, she had no right to go after Alexandra like this; her parents, I cannot be too sure. Maybe.“You knew all along, didn’t you?” Alexandra started, her hand tightly gripping the sheets. She looked a bit panicked. Betrayed, I could only assume. “You are also working with her, right? To destroy and claim Liss?” She gritted her teeth. I realized if I let this go on any further, Alexandra would blow up and I would not be given the chance to explain myself. Although I was hurt that she would jump to conclusi

Alexandra’s POVEver wondered what it felt like to be forcibly stripped naked and bare? To have someone destroy all the walls you had spent years building? The unavoidable feeling of being seen?Well. I have.Knowing that Adrian was now aware of my past A part of my past I didn’t want anyone to know about. Why? Why did I not want anyone to find out about it? Because I believed they would use that information against me. Why? Why would it be a problem if I constantly claimed that I did nothing wrong?It was because I did, but I always tried to avoid it. Forget it. I did not believe or want it to be my fault. The fact that I had left behind Lucian A room filled with predators, and I abandoned him there. I could have done something, anything, even if it meant revealing my identity. But I didn’t.I was a coward. One that sacrificed someone else just to save herself. A coward who could not defend herself.And the guilt had lived with me for years. Taking deep roots inside of me—so deep, I

Adrian POV“I’m cutting ties with my family.”When I heard Alexandra say these words, I felt a strange level of satisfaction. Her family was one of the major reasons that our relationship wasn’t so good. Their manipulative words created a rift between Alexandra and me.If Alexandra hadn’t mentioned it, I just might have. Not explicitly. I knew Alexandra well enough to know that she wouldn’t listen to me if I told her to cut ties with her family.I was changing. Or, at least, my feelings were. I had a strong urge to monopolize her. The deep thought of possession: A possessive husband seeks control. I wanted to manipulate her into doing the things I wanted. I didn’t want to take her feelings into consideration because if I tried to, she could very well lie about them. Maybe because I felt insecure. Our relationship seemed to be built on lies and manipulation. A very rocky foundation. One that could collapse after the building was done, and the outcome would be too devastating.I think t

Alexandra’s POVI had always thought that Katrina had some sort of superpower, but now I was 100% sure that she had powers.Why such a thought? Because of how fast she ran through the door, past Adrian, and landed on my bed, I would believe her if she told me she was a descendant of the Flash.Look! Even Adrian had a shocked expression.Oh, my baby, you finally decided to wake up, huh? And you didn’t call me? How is your body? Heavy? I’ll massage it for you, okay? I shall treat you better from now on, okay? So do not ever scare me like that again. Do you know how long I waited for you? I cried beside your bed for a long time, and I even considered kissing you to wake you up. I thought of hitting you as well, but your husband would not let me. Where did you go when you were not awake? Neverland? Interesting fact about that: Once, Katrina went on like a broken tap.

Narrator's POVThe room was dimly lit, with only a small lamp providing some light in the corner. The sound of medical equipment beeping could be heard faintly in the background, and the scent of disinfectant hung in the air. In the center of the room was a hospital bed with stirrups on either side.Lying on the bed, in the grip of labor pains, was Alexandra. Her long hair was plastered to her forehead with sweat, and her eyes were squeezed tightly.Her husband, Adrian, stood beside her, holding her hand tightly and whispering words of encouragement.

She had been feeling dizzy earlier, and I hoped that a simple glass of water would provide her some relief.

I couldn't help but eavesdrop on their conversation as I filled the glass with water."I've made a decision, Mom. Alexandra's voice reached my ears, somewhat muffled from the distance. "I'm going to Italy to have the baby, and, Mom, I really want you to come with me. Will you be there?"A wave of relief washed over me as I held the full glass of water in my hands.

Alexandra’s POVI had always known Adrian was not a saint, but I did not expect him to be deep in this sh*t, which was quite scary. I know he only kidnapped Penelope for my sake, but I did not approve. I did not sign up for all this violent shit, and now Penelope wants to have her revenge. After what she did to Katrina, she should have just accepted what Adrian did to her as karma. I hated Penelope with all of my heart, but I could not bring myself to wish her death. If she was going to be a threat to my child, then I would probably kill her myself.Consumed in my thoughts, I heard the familiar sound of my phone ringing on the other end. I picked it up to check on the caller, and it turned out to be my mom. Wondering why she was calling when it was really late, I hesitated no further as I picked up the phone.I reached for my phone and saw my mother’s name displayed on the screen.

As I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection, guilt washed over me.Was it the right thing to do? …. Did I add unnecessary worry and stress to an already difficult situation?
