THE UNVEILED CONTRACT Chapter 54
Narrator's POVPenelope stared hard and long at the grotesque sight before her.She frowned. The buff man beside her noticed her frown and went forward to cover up the culprit.It was the bartender, bundled up in a wooden box. His body was marred with bloodied puncture holes. It was horrific. Not a good sight to see. There was a dried blood trail from one of the bartender's eyes; it rolled all the way down his cheek. The bartender was barely breathing; if one didn't notice his slow and shallow breaths, you would think he was dead.The buff man covered the box."Carlos, Take him to the hospital and get him treated. Tell me when he wakes up. Take photos of his current condition as well. Who knows, we might be able to use this." Penelope ordered the buff man, Carlos.Carlos grunted in response as he crouched down, picked up the box with ease—as if the bartender did not weigh a thing—and walked out of the room.Penelope watched him go out with a complicated expression. She had never expec

Alexandra’s POV“You have got to be kidding me.” I muttered.My eyes widened in shock as I stared at the message my parents had just sent me.It was a Tuesday, and Adrian was home. We ate breakfast together, and Adrian moved to his study for work.I settled on watching a movie. Just as I did the day before and the day before that.I had been at home doing nothing for weeks now, and I was getting bored and tired of this routine.I was healthy and energetic, yet all I did all day was try to become one with the sofa and try to destroy my eyesight by plastering my eyes to the television.I was even gaining weight with all the lying around I had been doing.I wanted to work, and I couldn't go back to work without informing my parents. I had settled on behaving like a spoiled, overbearing brat. I would wait for them to apologize properly to me and beg me to go back to work. Before then, I wondered if Adrian had something I could do. If he didn’t, I would demand my freedom. I had turned into

Alexandra’s POVI felt my heart clench, and I almost choked up.I stared at Adrian with undisguised shock in my eyes.Although I had previously considered leaving Adrian eventually because of the terms of our relationship, Hearing him say that we might break up left me with an indescribable and uncomfortable feeling. After constantly telling me that we would never be able to get a divorce, his current words were a contrast.My parents wanted me to come home. My parents were considering breaching the contract they signed. The Sinclairs probably would not want to take the case to court since it would attract a lot of unwanted attention.

Alexandra POVMy father had lost the election.The election that my father had spent a fortune preparing forThe election that occupied his mind was an engagement that took up all his time.The election that gave him so much confidenceAnd as I had recently discovered, it was also one of the reasons he decided to sell me off to the Sinclairs; he wanted, no, he needed their support.I had heard that his ratings were pretty good before the election. Who knows what has happened? When the results came in, he had lost to his competitor. And not by a small gap.I wondered what could have happened. A lot of people had expected him to win since he had the Sinclairs support.I wondered if it was because he had lost that support at the last minute.Although Adrian told me not to bother about it, I was still curious about what had happened. Having no one else to ask about it and knowing that the last person I would ask would be my father, I decided to ask Adrian.“Do you really not know what hap

Narrator’s POV“I’m planning to visit Lucian tomorrow.”Adrian visibly froze when he heard Alexandra’s words.“No, you will do no such thing.” Adrian replied sharply.Alexandra frowned. Her change in expression forced Adrian to change his tone and rephrase himself.“What I mean is, you cannot go out for now. It is not safe yet.”“But I went out with you to see my parents.”“That is different. You were with me and my bodyguards. You were safe.” Adrian tried to reason with her. He didn’t see any reason for her to visit Lucian. He hated the idea of her meeting with another man, especially one she had previously been involved with in some way.“Then you can give me bodyguards as well. Give me as many of them as you want. I am tired of being cooped up in this house. The only reason I didn’t push to leave before was because I didn’t have anywhere in particular I wanted to go, but now Alexandra spoke sharply; she was starting to get a bit angry at Adrian.“And now?” Adrian cut in.Alexandra’

Alexandra POVStill busy in the kitchen, we both enjoyed our time doing what we were doing and chit-chatting in between. There were times we sang and even poured water on each other. Adrian likes salad, so he decided to prepare vegetable salad and fruit salad for dessert."Tell me something," I tease him."Tell you what?" He asked"Well, are we just feeding on salad tonight?""Don't exaggerate it. There is pasta to eat along with the vegetable salad. The vegetable salad is to be placed in the pasta, while the fruit salad is to be eaten as a desert," he tells me.Alright, chef," I tease him.He chopped the vegetables for the salad while I cooked the pasta."God help us, this pasta is sweet," I tell Adrian, hoping that at the end of all our labor, the food will still be edible and we will not have to look for something else to eat.

THE UNVEILED CONTRACT Chapter 88
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.

THE UNVEILED CONTRACT CHAPTER 86
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?
