THE UNVEILED CONTRACT Chapter 58
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. If, at the end of everything, the food is not sweet, I guess we will have to order something or eat salad for dinner.I made sure I properly followed the ste

Alexandra's POVMy parents just looked at me in awe after I shouted at them to let me do something for once.My mom's facial expression dropped immediately when I shouted at them.

At the beginning, I hated marriage, but at this moment, I am happy to be married.My mom sat on the dining chair and stared at the food the maid had served. Her gaze may be on the food, but it is very obvious that a lot is going on in her head. My dad, on the other hand, refused to sit; he kept shaking his left leg and grinding his teeth at the same time.It is clearly obvious that he is trying to swallow his words but is finding it very diffic

Adrian’s POVSeeing her lay in the bathtub with her eyes closed felt so satisfying to look at. Unable to resist just looking at her, I walk to her and kiss her on the lips. She smiles and opens her eyes.“You just couldn’t resist, right?“ she asked me, still smiling.“Is it possible to live without food?” I ask her to smile too.“It depends on the kind of food."“Your favorite food, for instance,“ I tell her, raising one eyebrow.“Teaser...” She smiles and splashes water on me.“I cannot tease you; I only speak the truth," I tell her.“I hear you."“So you're having that bath alone?”“Wanna join?” she asked me.“Now it's you doing the teasing,” I tell her.“Shut up and come in before I change my mind,“ she jokingly threatened me.We both put on our pajamas, lay down on the bed, and cuddled each other to sleep.“Damn it.” The phone just kept ringing nonstop. With my eyes half open, I struggle to pick up the pine in the side drawer. In the process of picking up the phone, I accidentally

ALEXANDRA'S POVAdrian sat in my office really pissed with the stunt Penelope tried to pull, but he is glad he was able to handle the situation before she said anything stupid. He needed me to take over the company as soon as possible before anything else came up. He quickly sent an email to every board member to inform them of the meeting by 5 p.m. He had already told me to go back home after we left the boardroom. Adrian called me not too long after I left the office to inform my dad there was another meeting tonight, explain what happened today, and let him know there was no longer time to stall. I just got home and am trying to wrap my head around what almost happened today. If we hadn't arrived at the office when we did, that little snake would have done a lot of harm, but thankfully Adrian was there, and I still wonder what he whispered into her ears that left her speechless. As I was about to take the stairs heading to the bedroom, I could hear my phone ring. I had forgotten

As I sit in the car, I think about the unexpected turn of events. Everything was happening so fast, from falling in love with Adrian to Penelope showing up to my dad finally handing over the company to me. I sigh quietly, close my eyes, and lean my head back. I really want to sleep. Fortunately for me, the door was just shoved open so hard that I don’t even bother looking up, as I know it is Adrian. The door slams shut again, he leans over, and I feel his soft lips on my cheek.“Let us head home,” Adrian said quite loudly.I do not know if that is for me or the driver. I just pray silently that there will not be much traffic on the way. Just then, my stomach made a gurgling sound, probably co

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. Sweat trickled down her forehead, her hands tightly clasping her husband's, seeking comfort and support."You're doing great, my love," he said, watching her struggle through another contraction.Alex let out a groan, and her body tensed as the pain surged through her.

Adrian's POVAs I made my way to the kitchen to fetch a glass of water for Alexandra, I couldn't shake off the worry that had clouded my mind. She had been feeling dizzy earlier, and I hoped that a simple glass of water would provide her some relief. As I entered the kitchen, I noticed that Alexandra was talking intimately with her mother in the living room. 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. Confusion and concern filled my heart as I hastily answered the call. “Mom? What is wrong?” I asked, my v

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? I told the boys to get rid of her, and they never disappointed.
