The Arrogant Billionaire’s Contract Wife CHAPTER FIFTY SEVEN
HAYLEY’S POVTHREE DAYS LATERMy eyes fluttered open, and the sterile white walls of the hospital room came to focus. My mind was a bit foggy because it was taking a while for it to catch up to reality.As I tried to sit up, the memories of the accident rushed back to me and my chest tightened with anxiety. I had been hit by a bike, I didn’t pay attention to the road.The last thing I heard was nothing before I was swept off the ground. I winced, closing my eyes as a critical pain shot through my head.It was like a thousand drums being beaten in my brain. I reached up with my fingers, to touch the bandages on my head, a painful reminder of my terrible decision of saying yes to being a fake wife.Just then, the door creaked open, and Liam stepped into the room.“Hey, Hayley,” He said softly, his eyes and voice filled with concern.“Your mom said you weren’t awake yet, I’m glad you’re up now.”I managed to smile weakly, “Liam…..”“Yes? Are you okay? I’m so sorry.” He sat down by the

CHRISTIAN’S POVI kept changing positions as I sat down in the car, my anger simmering beneath. I knew that most of this mess was my fault, but she was also at fault.I tried to talk to her, to tell her before it blew up in our faces. But she didn’t calm down to listen, and as usual, I’m the bad guy again.“We’re home, sir.” Terry glanced at me through the rearview mirror, I remained silent and lost in thoughts.I never wanted any of this to happen, but for some unknown reason, things only got worse. Everybody just wanted to have a piece of me; it wasn’t like I was that bad.“Mr. Montgomery,” Terry called, I snapped out of my thoughts. He had already opened the passenger’s door and was waiting for me to come down.“Drop the car keys and go home, Terry” I mumbled, my voice edged with frustration. “But sir, are you sure you wouldn’t need my help?” He asked as he followed me inside.“I don’t want to see anyone right now.” I unbuttoned my suit jacket,“Of course sir,” He dropped the car

HAYLEY’S POV I curled up like a ball on kitty’s couch, I had been discharged from the hospital two days ago. The doctor said to come back for my check-up every two days and have my stitches removed. But the weight of my problems seemed to follow me home from the hospital, from my fight with Christian, to how my mom couldn’t even look at me. My dad and Shayla were discharged too, but I couldn’t follow them home. I had been reading on social media about my fake marriage with Christian, Tears welled up in my eyes as I read the vicious comments people were making about me. Jesse4life: “I’m sure this wasn’t Christian’s fault, the poor bitch must have blackmailed him into it.” Another Twitter user replied, Stacygomez: Blackmailed? Pretty sure she charmed him. Desperate people tend to do voodoo shit.” Analisse4445: Pray for Christian, cancel this Hayley bitch. I knew from the moment Christian announced that she was his fiancée that something was off about her.” “Fuck!” I cursed as I

LIAM’S POV “I had kept this place a secret for so many years, if I could buy this place I would have. But I guess you can’t buy nature, you have to enjoy it. That’s the benefit of it.” I said as we arrived at the clear and glassy secret beach I couldn’t help but notice the glow in Hayley’s eyes, how they lit up in excitement. “T-this is….Beautiful, Liam.” She kicked her Converse sneakers off her feet, I watched as she inhaled deeply the moment her feet sank into the beach sand. It seemed to her that the world with its crazy demands, standards, and chaos, just slipped away. “I used to come here as a kid when I needed an escape. I think it’s no surprise when I say that my childhood wasn’t exactly easy too.” I removed my shoes and stood beside her, she glanced at me. I was hoping I could get through to her if she could open up to me. for her to be a college dropout, then I’m sure it wasn’t something she did out of free will if not circumstance. I wanted her to see me for me, and not

CHRISTIAN’S POVIt’s been a week since the media has been eating up the news about me and Hayley, Hermione has been the one doing everything in her power to do damage control over my mess. I was starting to slowly drift into my angry, frustrated, and self-centered old self again. Hayley gave up on me, it’s been one week and I was back to sleeping around and with Caroline again.“Hey, it’s Riele and I don’t want to talk to you so don’t leave a message.” The robotic bitch on the other line answered and the call dropped.“Darn it!” I huffed, I had tried calling Riele since the last time we spoke and she hasn’t been picking up or calling back either. I wasn’t the only one going through a crisis, she had always stood by me and I just shunned her over a girl that wants nothing to do with me and i lied to her about our engagement.“Baby,” I turned to the sound of a seductive female voice,“Leaving so soon?” I dropped my phone on the center table as I approached her where she stood, shirt

HERMIONE’S POV[LAST NIGHT, FLASHBACK]I gazed into the mirror, examining the dark circles under my eyes and the wrinkles that were starting to form on my forehead. The year wasn’t even over and I wasn’t having time to properly take care of myself, it was always from one scandal to another.No one would deny it if I said I was the pillar holding this family, Bernard couldn’t do anything in his weak state. Despite his transgressions, he still had the guts to question why I told Christian and Riele about his scandal.“Do you realize that you’re poisoning their minds against me, Hermione?” My eyes met his in the mirror’s reflection; I turned my attention back to myself.I opened a drawer and brought out a facial cleanser and cotton wool.“I’m not, I’m only telling them the truth you’ve refused to tell them.”I heard him scoff, “The truth? You’ve waited for that day to come, Hermione. You had always been bitter ever since you found out about my son.”I paused my hand’s movement on my fa

“What is this, mom? Who is he? And why are you two kissing?” She asked, her eyes darting between Anthony and me.My heart was racing as I fumbled for an explanation.“Riele, Honey please calm down”She stormed out of the kitchen and into the living room, I glanced at Anthony before rushing after her.“So that’s why the whole house is empty, you told all the staff to leave just so you could suck whip cream off your lover’s face?” she fired as she paused abruptly and I stopped.I took in a deep breath, “You need to listen to me, I never…” she cut me off.“And why should I? You’re cheating on Dad and yet you’re mad at him because he cheated on you. How much of a hypocrite are you? And for how long has this been going on?”“You don’t get to talk to your mother that way, Riele.” Anthony defended as he stood beside me.“Keep my name out of your fucking mouth, who the hell do you think you are? I don’t even know you, aren’t you ashamed? You are sleeping with a married woman, who is even wa

HAYLEY’S POV“Here, drink up sweetie.” Kitty handed me a cup of hot cocoa, just the way I liked it. The cocoa was very chocolaty and the marshmallows were enough to float around on top of it, I inhaled the steam softly.“So tell us, what happened with you and Christian.”I blew into the cup softly before taking a sip,“I wanted to take my clothes from the house an…one thing led to another. We had a big argument and I said something I shouldn’t have.”Darren and Kitty gave each other a glance“Well, what did you say? You must have provoked him enough to get him to put his hands on you, but no matter what you would have said anyway, he shouldn’t have done that.” Darren frowned.“I think we need to get the police involved, because who the hell does he think he is? You’re in a lot of trouble right now because of him and he has the guts to hit you?”“He didn’t hit me, Darren.” I corrected,“He only…he only grabbed me in anger. I was at fault.”Darren scoffed, “He grabbed you by the neck,

ONE WEEK LATERCHRISTIAN’S POV “Yes, Officer Gavin. I appreciate your efforts. Thank you.” I said, and the call dropped. I turned from the window and faced Hayley, who was lying down on the bed. We were both fully discharged from the hospital, and Khalid was still there. And I always made sure I checked on him every day. Hayley, on the other hand, still had to go to the hospital for her antenatal. Officer Gavin was telling me about Denver, and they caught him. He didn’t even hesitate to cooperate with the police; he sold Alexander out. The police were now looking for him, he and Alexander made the deal about putting the bomb under my car. And other news aside, the person who was trying to poison Bernard was a maid in the house. Her motives weren’t clear yet, but she was with the police now. I also heard that Cassidy fell to her death—not that I was being insensitive, but she deserved it. That would be the last time I would ever see Cassidy in my life, and I was thrilled, to be hon

CHRISTIAN’S POV My eyes fluttered open, and immediately I became conscious. Pain surged through my head. I raised my hand slowly to touch my head, and I realised there was a bandage on it. My body ached all through; it was like all the pain I hadn’t felt for the few moments I was asleep was all coming to me at once. The accident replayed vividly: Khalid, the screeching of metals, the flames licking at the car, and Khalid’s shriek of pain as the car engulfed in flames with his legs still trapped while his body was out of the car. Panic seized me as I scanned the unfamiliar surroundings I was in. I figured I was at the hospital; the curtains and the beeping sound of the heart monitor gave that away instantly. “Where’s Khalid, Khalid?" The words fell from my lips in a desperate plea, and my voice was hoarse from the terror that had gripped me in my sleep. The fear that my friend could be dead was the only true friend I ever had. And it would be my fault; I wouldn’t be able to forgive
The Arrogant Billionaire’s Contract Wife CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ONE
HAYLEY’S POVIt’s been three days since Cassidy and Rebecca held me captive. I haven’t had food or water and am hungry and tired. My vision is starting to blur as I am slowly losing strength.I slowly closed my eyes. Maybe if I could get a little rest, it would take my mind off the hunger. But then Cassidy splashed me with another round of cold water. I opened my eyes and raised my head, gasping for breath.I shook my head to get the water out of my eye, and the sound of a stainless steel bucket falling on the floor drew my attention to Cassidy, who was standing right in front of me.“I told Christian, he has to meet me here by 1 p.m. Well, would you look at the time? And still no Christian.” She exhaled, almost disappointed.Christian was coming here? I almost felt a sense of relief, but then coming here was a trap. Cassidy was just going to kill us anyway.“Can you see that we can’t trust men and that they are all the same, but don’t worry, I’ll get revenge for us?” she teased, my

72 HOURS CHRISTIAN’S POV The sunlight penetrated the room as I stood by the crack in the window and sipped wine from a small glass. My phone was in my ear when Officer Gavin called. Different things were going through my mind; everything was my fault. From the start, I had always been the problem. Not once have any of Hayley’s mistakes occurred if she even had any. None of them had come back to either haunt me or get me kidnapped. But here I was, putting her in danger yet again because of my bad choices. I just kept proving her mother’s point that I was no good for her. And now that she was carrying my baby, what good could I possibly be to the innocent creature? “Officer Gavin, it’s been three days, and you still haven’t found her,” I complained as I turned away from the window. “What if something else happens to her? I don’t trust those two girls who have her. i…I already told you that I didn’t know where they were. Fuck! If I did, I would drive straight down and get my woman
The Arrogant Billionaire’s Contract Wife CHAPTER NINETY NINE
HAYLEY’S POVI became conscious of the splash of cold water all over my face and tried to jerk up. But my eyes darted down to the rope tied around my legs to the chair, and my hands were tied to the chair behind my back.I struggled to see if I could loosen the rope on my hands, but all my efforts were useless. I exhaled heavily and raised my head to hear someone’s heels hurting the floor.I was sure that it was the person who abducted me. A petite lady with brown hair and blue eyes walked towards me with a bowl, and she smirked.“Re-Rebecca?” I mouthed as my eyes widened in disbelief. She used to be Christian’s secretary. Of course, she would want my head; Christian wasn’t paying her attention anymore. They weren’t having any of that good sex, and then he fired her.I could tell the minute I saw how he looked at her that day when I went to his office. They had something going on, but then I thought it would be Cassidy, but the turns of events were rather shocking.“I’m happy you rem

CHRISTIAN’S POV“Come on, Hayley. Pick up the phone."I mouthed as I paced around in the living room. I reacted stupidly yesterday; I shouldn’t have talked to her like that. I shouldn’t have told her to abort the baby; what stupid suggestion was that?And now that she had left home, I had no idea where she was. I couldn’t reach her; she was picking up my calls, and she still hadn’t come back home.Maybe she was right, and having a baby would change me. It would make my life in a different light. She wanted me to listen to her so badly. It wasn’t like she was forcing the baby on me; she understood even my own plight.She just wanted to talk, to figure out a solution, and I completely shut her down. It was like I was now making my own life more miserable than it already is.“She won’t pick up your calls, Christian." I turned to the sound of Riele’s voice; she was coming from the kitchen holding a glass of booze.“Thanks a lot for the help,” I replied sarcastically.She rolled her eyes.

His eyes widened, and then a storm of emotions brewed on his face. My hands started shaking nervously, and I could tell that he was pissed—like pissed as fuck.“Pregnant? Are you kidding me, Hayley? Is this some sick joke?”I shook my head. Tears threatened to spill from my eyes. I thought having a baby was a good thing. Whether planned or unplanned, we had the resources to take care of it. But then I understood that Christian wasn’t ready because of what he was going through at the moment.“No, Christian. It’s true. I know we didn’t plan it, and I swear I was scared to tell you." He cut me off“How long have you known?” He dropped the whisky bottle on the bedside drawer and faced me, his back resting comfortably on the bed's headboard.The scenario looked like a teenage girl opening up to her father about her unwanted pregnancy."Yesterday, the doctor said I’m three weeks pregnant. And that I was going through too much stress.”He scoffed, “Too much stress? I guess he’s a stupid doc
The Arrogant Billionaire’s Contract Wife CHAPTER NINETY SIX
HAYLEY’S POVMy heart had been pounding in my chest like crazy since last night; I had blacked out suddenly. When I woke up, I was being treated by a doctor, and Riele was by my side.She had told me that Christian went to trash the wedding; to be honest, I wasn’t exactly expecting him to be calm about things. Ever since my dad almost overdosed and died, he just left again and never came back. So if I heard he was starting a new life after all the pain he had put us through, I would crash the wedding too.But that wasn’t my problem out of the many problems on the ground. Hermione had come to see Christian to clear things up, and coincidentally, she came with Liam.“It’s safe to say that we are both victims, Christian.” Hermione started, and the air in the living room was thick with tension as she and Liam faced Christian.I wasn’t sure what Hermione wanted—maybe reconciliation? But she was also a victim of Bernard’s lies and secrets. Liam, on the other hand, just wanted to be clear
The Arrogant Billionaire’s Contract Wife CHAPTER NINETY FIVE
CHRISTIAN’S POVIt felt like everything hidden was slowly unraveling itself for me, and each time I found out the truth, I couldn’t help but feel like I had been fooled my whole life. No one cared enough to tell me the truth about anything; I had been living in a lie.Looking for truths that were right under my nose the whole time, the feeling of betrayal suddenly turned into a fresh wound again. I couldn’t possibly trust anyone anymore—Hayley, maybe, or even Riele.My grip on my steering wheel tightened as my car was almost going full throttle. Hayley fainted out of nowhere, so I called the doctor to attend to her at home. I also made sure I called Riele before I left the house.I thought maybe I would be mature enough to deal with the new truth I found out about my mum, but I couldn’t sit back knowing I could see her again after so many years. And she was under a new identity and getting married too. I would lose my mind if I didn’t get closure.I parked like a crazy person in front
