My eyes narrowed, I couldn’t help but show some of my anger.“Pregnant? Are you even sure of what you are saying? Have you lost your mind, because you think this is some game to you? I’m not a puppet, don’t come at me with cheap lies.”Her laughter sounded like a melody in the café, she was mocking me. This only deepened my irritation. “Oh, Christian, don’t look so surprised. It’s your baby.”I was struggling to maintain my composure as Caroline continued to utter gibberish and filthy nonsense from her mouth. Did she think lying about a baby would make me come back to her? I wasn’t so careless as to let anyone get pregnant for me.Even when we were still together, it was our habit to have sex daily but I gave her pills. I put her on birth control, the contraceptive pills were just for extra safety.“you were on contraceptives Caroline, so don’t bullshit me. I watched you take them every morning because I gave them to you.” I slammed my fists on the table, she quickly looked around in

CHRISTIAN’S POVI didn’t quite get enough sleep, and kept tossing and turning overnight. The anxiety that I still had work in the morning made my tummy turn because I needed to be rested. I hadn’t even started fighting my brother back, and I was already getting tired.The issue with Jennifer still hadn’t died down, I refused to believe them because she hadn’t gone to the media to spread another lie about me then it was all over. My brother is probably keeping her on a leash till he wants to use her against me.There were two plates of pancakes on the counter with bacon and eggs by the side and syrup dripping onto the plate from the pancake, I flipped the last pancake in the frying pan and turned to add whipped cream on the plates.I was hoping this would appease Hayley a bit, I had been nothing but a dick to her recently. It wasn’t in my nature to cook for people, I only cooked for myself. But I was hoping to show this little friendly part of myself wouldn’t make her stay too far away

“Liam, at this rate I have figured I could never avoid you.” She teased jokingly. “Well, we didn’t quite finish our introduction. Maybe this is fate’s way of saying we have to.” He shrugged and she smiled softly. I could almost roll my eyes to the back of my head, watching him flirt with Hayley in my presence. “You are keeping to time now, that’s new.” I broke the little fun reunion they were having. “And you aren’t, shouldn’t you be dressed for work? You’re here being the husband of the year.” He teased and Hayley chuckled. “Ha-ha very funny, you just reminded me why I always pretend not to know you.” “Your loss, that aside. What do you want me to do about your vengeful brother? I don’t like getting involved in family feuds.” He walked behind me as I approached the living room. “I think I should get going, I’m already late for work” Hayley got up from the seat, she didn’t finish her meal but she ate enough to make me happy. “Let me drop you off at work.” I offered. “No thank

HAYLEY’S POV“So, this is kind of awkward. I haven’t seen you in like fourteen years so it’s right that I think we have a lot to catch up on.” Shayla broke the silence between us, she had called yesterday for us to meet up for coffee.Even though she was standing right there in front of me, I still couldn’t believe that she was real. I mean after all these years that she has refused to even show up, I think I’m allowed to feel a little anger.“Yeah, you can start.” The light turned green for passerby to cross the road, I quickly started walking and she tried to catch up to my pace.“I understand that you are mad at me…” she said“You think?” I scoffed“But hey,” we had crossed safely and she stopped me by grabbing my arm, she pulled me so that I’d face her.“I’m here now, that’s what matters Hayley. It wasn’t like I wanted to stay there forever, I missed my sister, and now that I’m with you let’s just forget some things never happened.”I exhaled deeply, “you just stayed so long that

“Yes!” I answered excitedly“Can I have your contact, so we can meet up and you’d show me some of your works?” he offered.“Of course, yes.” I collected his phone and saved my number on it,“Thanks, I’ll see you later.” He smiled softly before approaching the counter and Shayla dragged me away.“Sean Ryan just got my number!” I panted heavily; I was so excited that I could hyperventilate.“Things are getting so much better! I mean, I don’t see how my day could go bad…” And just before I finished that sentence, my supposed arch-nemesis walked in.“I didn’t think I’d be seeing you here, oh right I guess. You worked here; it would be bad not to go back to your root.” She cussed with a fake smile.“Cassidy, it’s always a nightmare to see you.”“Oh, it would be a nightmare for only you when I expose whatever secret you and Christian are hiding.”RIELE’S POV[FLASHBACK]“This man got hit pretty bad, I pray he makes it.” I heard a woman tell the other lady beside her, I told my driver to st

CHRISTIAN’S POV“Mr. Montgomery, I was thinking of giving you a call again.” Monica approached me as I walked into my company, I paused by the secretary. I noticed something had changed, I turned and my eyes met a different one. They weren’t seductive or needy, they looked self-conscious and reserved and weren’t Rebecca’s.“Good morning sir,” The brown haired lady secretary sprung up,“What’s your name?” I asked“Emily Clarke, sir.” She responded sharply, I took another keen look at her.“That’s okay, get back to work.” I approached the elevator, “I see you’ve been working hard, Monica. She isn’t my exact taste for a secretary but you tried.”Monica quickly pressed a button on the elevator, “Thank you, sir.” She smiled.The elevator dinged and opened, and there was a nervous-looking lady inside, she looked up and her eyes widened at the sight of me. I recognized her, Rebecca.“Christian!" She yelled as her voice was starting to break, she rushed out from the elevator.I was taken abac

“This is why Father could never give you the company, he needed someone man enough to handle something of this magnitude and you just keep showing how big of a pussy you are.”He chuckled softly, “Your words mean nothing to me, I would keep tormenting you with everything I have until you hand over the company to me.”“Then have at it! Do whatever the fuck you want but I won’t give you that satisfaction of seeing me suffer.”“Have it your way, now that I think about it, using Jennifer was just an introduction to what is to come. Since you’re man enough, you can brace yourself for my vengeful impact when it hits!’“Watch your back, brother.” He dropped the call.I inhaled sharply, my fists clenched in anger. I could feel myself sweating even with the air conditioning; I wanted to do more than just lay my hands on him.There was a slight knock on my door, “I don’t want to see anyone for now.” I yelled.But then the door opened regardless, “what’s got you in a frenzy?” a male voice said,

CHRISTIAN’S POV“Give me one of your strongest liquor,” I said to the brown-haired waitress as I sat on a bar stool behind the counter. Khalid had to drag me away from the office before I got too self-absorbed and plotted my brother’s demise after his little phone call confrontation.Some very important guests came in for Khalid that he had to attend to, he also had to review some things in the club and hold a little meeting with his staff. But he was doing it one after the other, of course, he didn’t say I couldn’t be a part of it but my current mood would rather help myself to a drink.She gave me a dirty look before turning to mix up a drink for me, “Here, drown whatever is making you drink in the daytime.” She said with heavy sarcasm in her voice as she dropped the glass in front of me. who said people could only drink at night and not in the day?I shot her a glare before gulping down the liquid and it hit hard, “Fuck” I cussed under my breath as I shook my head, and she scoffed

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

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

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
