THE UNVEILED CONTRACT Chapter 63
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
THE UNVEILED CONTRACT Chapter 65
Alexandra’s POV“I need to get some stuff in my office; why don’t you wait for me in the car, honey?” Adrian tells me:“Okay, please hurry; I am really exhausted,” I reply with a faint smile.“Go with her,” he says to his bodyguard.Adrian quickly heads to his office while I go into the elevator. 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
THE UNVEILED CONTRACT Chapter 66
Adrian’s POV As I sit on the chair beside Alex and watch her sleep peacefully with her hands in mine, I cannot help but smile. I cannot believe I am going to be a father. Though I am a little bit scared, I do not know a thing about raising kids. All I know is that I am definitely not going to raise a kid the way I was raised. I was raised to be a perfect heir all my life, with no room for mistakes or fuckups. I made a silent promise to myself that I will raise this child with nothing but love, and I know that with Alex by my side, we will make the best parents ever. I put my hands on her belly and rubbed it softly and gently. Just then, I hear my phone beep. I hold her hand gently so as not to wake her up to pick up my phone. It turns out to be a text from Penelope: “YOU THINK YOU CAN GET RID OF ME LIKE A BAG OF TRASH. I WILL BE BACK, AND YOU WON’T BE THERE TO SAVE THAT SPOILED LITTLE BRAT. I clench my fist and click my tongue. “How long does this crazy bitch intend to keep this up?

I pick it up and see that it’s Adrian.Hey,” I say sleepily.Hi, sleepy head, why don’t you get dressed for dinner in an hour?” he says.Alright, love,” I replied and hung up.I stretch while yawning, and it takes me a while to get up. The day begins to wind down as the sun sets outside my window. I head to the balcony; it’s already dark outside. How long did I sleep? I say to myself. I look up at the night sky, mesmerized by the twinkling stars. I take a deep breath, appreciating the stillness and tranquility of the moment. I decided to treat myself to a relaxing bath. I fill the tub with warm water, adding some soothing essential oils. I sink into the tub, closing my eyes. I sluggishly allow myself to get out of the tub to go to my closet to pick something to wear. After much thought, I decided on a sexy red dinner gown with a low back. I pick up a black four-inch heel and head

Adrian's PoVI was a bit pissed about Alex throwing up all over me, but I had to tolerate it. I guess it is not her fault anyway. I hold her hands and walk her up the stairs as Davis calls in. I pick him up and tell him I will call him back in a bit. I do not want Alex to worry about anything."Penelope called earlier," Alex tells me."When was this? What did she say?" he responded."She called on my way to meet up with you this evening, and I hung up before she could say anything stupid," she continues.I open the bedroom door, and we get in. I help her out of her gown so that she can go clean up. This was not how I expected the night to end. As she heads to the bathroom,"I will be back," I say rather loudly, and I quietly head out to my study to call Davis. He picks up on the fourth ring."Hey man,what's the update?" I say immediately."Good evening to you too," he replies, and I keep muting, then he continues."I did some digging, and I found a few things about Miss Castle, but nothing

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.

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.
