The Billionaire Heiress's Contract Marriage Chapter 63
The drive back to the penthouse felt heavier than usual, each streetlight casting a shadow of doubt in her mind.She had always trusted her instincts, but right now, she didn’t even trust herself.Meanwhile, Julian sat in his office, his fingers drumming against the desk as he stared at his phone.He had seen that Alexis had read his message. That was almost an hour ago. And yet, no response.It wasn’t like her.He told himself she was probably just busy, handling the media crisis or dealing with the board. But something didn’t sit right. He had spent enough time with Alexis to know when something was wrong. And right now, something was very wrong.He stood abruptly, grabbing his jacket.He needed to see her.Back at the penthouse, Alexis stepped inside, the silence greeting her like an old friend.The lights were dim, the space untouched since the morning.She closed the door behind her and leaned against it, exhaustion seeping into her bones.After some more time, she heads into the

Alexis rushed down the stairs, her bare feet silent against the cold marble floor.Her breaths came unevenly, her chest tightening as she struggled to keep herself composed.She wasn’t sure if she was running from Julian or from her own thoughts, but the moment she stepped into the dimly lit kitchen, her body trembled.She gripped the edge of the kitchen counter, her knuckles turning white as she tried to steady herself.The weight of everything was suffocating her.The man she had loved, trusted, had he ever been real?Or had he only ever been Julian Devereux, the man who had calculated her every move, manipulated her every decision, and trapped her in a love that was nothing but a carefully orchestrated lie?Her lips parted as a shaky breath escaped.She wanted to scream.To lash out.To storm upstairs and demand the truth from him, to make him look her in the eyes and tell her that she had never been anything more than a tool for revenge.But she wasn’t ready.Her fingers curled in

Julian strode back into the bedroom, his mind a storm of thoughts.He barely registered the dim lighting or the cool air from the half open balcony doors. The only thing echoing in his head was the image of Alexis, trembling in that kitchen, crying silently as if she couldn’t afford to let anyone, especially him, see her break.It unsettled him.No, it infuriated him.Julian grabbed his phone from the nightstand and scrolled through his contacts, stopping at one name.Victoria Delacroix.His most trusted assistant. His right hand. The one person who could find out exactly what had happened today.Without hesitation, he pressed the call button.It rang once.Twice.By the third ring, a groggy but sharp voice answered."Sir?"Julian didn’t waste time."I need you to find out exactly where Alexis was today, who she met with, and what she was doing. I want a full report as soon as possible."There was a pause, just a fraction of a second, but enough for him to know Victoria was now fully

Julian woke up to the soft rustling of fabric and the faint sound of heels clicking against the hardwood floor.His brows furrowed as his mind struggled to process the unusual disturbance.He always woke up first, always. Yet this time, as his eyes adjusted to the dim morning light, he found Alexis standing near the bedroom mirror, fastening an earring.She was already dressed.A sleek, tailored pantsuit hugged her figure, her long hair pulled back into an elegant ponytail. She looked every bit the powerful heiress she was, poised and untouchable. But something was off.Julian propped himself up on one elbow, his gaze locked onto her. “You’re up early,” he remarked, voice thick with sleep but laced with curiosity.Alexis glanced at him briefly in the mirror, her expression unreadable. “I have a lot to handle today.”Julian sat up fully now, frowning as he checked the time on his phone.Six A.M.She was never up this early. Normally, he woke her up, they had breakfast together, and he

Alexis leaned her head against the cool window of the car, staring blankly at the passing streets.The city was slowly coming to life, but she felt numb, disconnected.The Montgomery Group was where she was supposed to be heading, where she should have been focused on work and damage control, but right now, she couldn’t bring herself to step into that building. Not when her heart felt like it was caving in on itself.She inhaled sharply, then exhaled, trying to steady herself.It didn’t work.The weight in her chest only grew heavier.She needed comfort.She needed warmth.And there was only one place she knew she could get it.Without a second thought, she leaned forward, speaking softly to the driver. “Take me home.”The driver hesitated, glancing at her through the rearview mirror. “Home, Miss Montgomery?”“Yes,” she murmured. “Montgomery Estate.”The driver gave a small nod and smoothly changed the route.Alexis pressed her lips together, closing her eyes for a brief moment.She w

Julian had just finished adjusting his cufflinks when his phone buzzed on the nightstand.Seeing Victoria’s name flash across the screen, he wasted no time answering.“Talk to me,” he said briskly, grabbing his watch from the dresser.On the other end, Victoria let out a small sigh. “I couldn't get the full details, but from what I gathered, Ryan met with Alexis yesterday.”Julian’s jaw tightened. “And?” the name alone fueling the irritation already simmering in his chest.Victoria continued. “I don’t know exactly what was said, but if I had to guess, it has to do with their breakup or…” she hesitated before continuing, “he might have told her something, something he thinks he knows.”Julian’s grip on his phone tightened.His mind immediately jumped to the worst possibilities.If Ryan had filled Alexis’s head with lies, if he had spun some story that made Julian the villain, then that would explain everything.Her distance.Her silence.Her tears.“Find out exactly what he told her,”

Harrison Montgomery didn’t push the conversation further, though his expression remained unreadable as he finished his coffee.Alexis knew him well enough to realize that this wasn’t over. He was merely giving her space.Breakfast passed in relative silence, save for her mother’s occasional remarks about upcoming events and charity galas.Alexis played along, nodding when necessary, but her mind was elsewhere.When they were done, Harrison stood, adjusting the cuff of his sleeve. “Get your things,” he told Alexis. “You’re coming with me to the company.”Alexis hesitated for a brief moment before nodding. “Of course.”She didn’t have the energy to argue, nor did she have any desire to be alone with her thoughts.Work would be a distraction.Grabbing her handbag, she followed her father out to the waiting car.The ride to Montgomery Group was quiet.Harrison was a man who chose his words carefully, and Alexis knew that whatever conversation he planned to have with her, it wouldn’t happe

Victoria had always been efficient, and when Julian gave her an order, she made sure it was executed flawlessly.The moment she hung up the call with Julian, she wasted no time. She had already suspected Ryan had something to do with Alexis’ change in behavior, and now she needed confirmation.Within an hour, her men had located Ryan at a secluded café near the city outskirts. He had been keeping a low profile since his confrontation with Sophia and Alexis, probably thinking he was safe from any retaliation.He was wrong.Ryan exited the café, taking a deep breath as he pulled out his phone. Before he could even dial a number, two men dressed in dark suits flanked him on either side.“Mr. Pierce,” one of them said in a tone that left no room for argument. “You need to come with us.”Ryan stiffened, his eyes darting around for an escape, but he knew better. These men weren’t ordinary thugs; they were professionals. The kind that didn’t make idle threats. With a resigned sigh, he follow

“Would you like a drink, Miss Montgomery?” a flight attendant asked politely.Alexis hesitated before shaking her head. “No, thank you.”She didn’t want alcohol clouding her thoughts any further. She needed clarity. Answers. Closure.She glanced at her phone resting on the small table beside her. There were several missed calls from her father, messages left unread. She wasn’t ready to talk to him yet. Not after everything. Not when she was still trying to piece herself together.The seatbelt sign blinked on, signaling their descent. Home. The word felt foreign now. Because the moment she landed, she knew the real battle would begin.Julian stood in his penthouse, staring out at the city skyline. He had been restless since returning, his mind consumed by Alexis.He had pushed Moreau to the side for now, Victoria had handled it as expected. But Alexis was different.He needed to see her. He needed to explain everything before it was too late.His phone buzzed, and he grabbed it without

Meanwhile, the truth was far more complicated than Alexis believed.Harrison Montgomery hadn't known before the marriage. He had found out after she had already married Julian. And when he did, his rage had been unmatched.The confrontation had happened in Julian’s office, behind closed doors, away from the prying eyes of the world."You married my daughter for revenge?" Harrison’s voice had been like ice, each word cutting sharper than a blade.Julian, for once, hadn't had a clever response. He hadn't denied it, because, in the beginning, it had been true.But what had started as revenge had turned into something else entirely.Something he couldn't control.Something that terrified him.Because now, losing Alexis wasn't an option."I love her," Julian had finally said, his voice lower, almost reluctant.Harrison had scoffed. "Love? Don’t insult me. You used her. You played her like a pawn, just like your father would have. And you think you love her?"Julian’s jaw had clenched, his

Alexis arrived precisely on time, stepping into the dimly lit rooftop bar of Le Jardin Hotel.The evening air was crisp, carrying the scent of expensive cigars and aged whiskey. The skyline of Paris stretched before her, but she barely noticed it.Her eyes scanned the room until they landed on the familiar figure sitting in a secluded corner.Ryan.Her fingers curled into fists at her sides.Of course it was him.Ryan lifted his glass in greeting, a lazy smirk playing on his lips as he gestured for her to sit.Alexis hesitated, then crossed the distance between them and took the seat opposite him.She didn’t waste time on pleasantries.“What do you want?” she demanded, folding her arms.Ryan leaned back, swirling the amber liquid in his glass. “Still as direct as ever.”She narrowed her eyes. “I don’t have time for your games, Ryan. If you have something to say, say it.”Ryan’s smirk faded slightly. He leaned forward, placing his drink on the table.“Alexis,” he murmured, voice lower

Alexis arrived at the company with a renewed sense of focus. She pushed aside the pounding in her head, the exhaustion in her bones.The crisis with Moreau wasn’t over yet.And if there was one thing she did know, it was that she needed to deal with this before Julian could interfere any further.As she stepped into the office, her assistant rushed toward her.“Miss Montgomery, you’re here,” Her assistant said breathlessly. “I was worried when I didn’t hear from you last night.”Alexis forced a small smile. “I’m fine. What’s the update?”She hesitated, concern flickering in her eyes. “We managed to stall the media fallout, but Moreau’s people are already moving to cover their tracks.”Alexis’s jaw tightened. “That’s not surprising. He was too confident last night. Someone is backing him.”The assistant nodded. “I did some digging, and…” She lowered her voice. “It looks like Charlotte Wainwright is involved.”A sharp chill ran down Alexis’s spine.Charlotte.Of course.A bitter smile c

By the time they reached the suite, her vision was blurring at the edges.Julian carried her straight into the bedroom, lowering her onto the bed with a gentleness that surprised her.She let out a weak breath as she sank into the mattress, the exhaustion pulling at her like an anchor. But then she felt his hands on her shoulders, his fingers brushing against her face.“Alexis,” he called her name again, but it was distant, like an echo. “Hey, stay with me...”But she was already slipping under, the drug finally winning the battle she had fought so hard to resist.The last thing she heard before the darkness took over completely was Julian cursing under his breath.And then, nothing.Julian sat on the edge of the bed, his fists clenched as he watched Alexis succumb to the effects of the drug.Her breathing was even, but her face was pale, her usually sharp eyes shut, her body still.His stomach twisted.He had arrived just in time, but just in time wasn’t good enough. She had still be

Alexis drifted in and out of consciousness, her body feeling sluggish and heavy. She struggled to focus, but her mind was wrapped in a thick fog, making it nearly impossible to process what was happening.The last thing she remembered was the club, Mr. Moreau, the drugged drink. And then...She tensed, realizing she wasn’t on the ground. Someone had caught her. Someone was holding her.Her breath hitched as she forced her eyes open, fighting the dizziness.A face hovered above her.Familiar.Sharp jawline. Dark eyes filled with something unreadable.Julian.Her heart slammed against her ribs.Was she dreaming?No. This was real."Alexis?" His voice was sharp, laced with urgency. "Can you hear me?"She tried to respond, but her throat was too dry. She felt his arms tighten around her as he pulled her closer, shielding her from the curious stares of onlookers outside the club.He was warm.Too warm.She hated it.Or at least, she told herself she did."Julian..." she finally managed to

Alexis let the silence stretch between them, letting him believe, for just a moment, that his words had sunk in.Then she smiled.Not the soft, vulnerable kind of smile he was probably hoping for.But a slow, knowing, and dangerous one."You really are something, Ryan," she said, shaking her head slightly. "But let me make one thing clear to you." She leaned in, just enough to lower her voice, her gaze unwavering. "I don't need you. I don’t need Julian. And I sure as hell don’t need to be manipulated into fighting battles that aren’t mine."Ryan’s smirk faltered.She stood up, smoothing out her dress. "Thank you for the entertainment, but I think we’re done here."Ryan grabbed her wrist just as she turned."Alexis, wait..""Let. Go."There was no room for argument in her voice, and Ryan hesitated before releasing her.She straightened, exhaling sharply. "Enjoy your little schemes, Ryan. Just don’t expect me to play along."With that, she walked away, leaving Ryan staring after her.Al

Alexis's fingers curled around the edge of the table, her patience thinning by the second. “Cut the act, Ryan. You run from home into hiding after you ran your mouth back home, and now, suddenly, you show up here with him? What do you want?”Ryan let out a soft chuckle, shaking his head. “Alexis, Alexis, Alexis… I don’t want anything. I just figured, since we’re both here, we should clear the air.”“Clear the air?” she repeated, incredulous. “After you threw a grenade into my marriage?”He sighed dramatically, leaning back against the plush leather of the booth. “Look, I know you’re mad at me. But let’s be honest, Alexis, you deserved to know the truth. I did you a favor.”Alexis clenched her jaw.Her fingers itched to throw the drink sitting in front of her right in his smug face, but she kept herself still.Controlled.“A favor?” she echoed, her voice icy.Ryan’s smirk widened. “You would’ve found out eventually. Julian married you for revenge. I just saved you the heartbreak of fig

In the dimly lit grandeur of her penthouse, Charlotte Wainwright stood by the floor to ceiling window, the Parisian skyline stretching endlessly before her.The Eiffel Tower glittered in the distance, but her mind was far from the breathtaking view.She swirled the deep red wine in her crystal glass, a small, satisfied smirk curving her lips as she took a slow sip.Everything was unfolding exactly as she had planned.Julian would be hers.Not Alexis Montgomery.She had watched for far too long as Alexis paraded around as if she were untouchable, as if she were worthy of Julian’s love. But she wasn’t.Julian had been hers first.She had known him before Alexis even entered the picture, before he became entangled in this ridiculous revenge scheme that had somehow twisted into something real.Charlotte scoffed.Real.As if Julian could ever truly love Alexis.He might think he does, but that’s just because he doesn’t know any better.He was blinded.Confused.And she was going to fix tha
