The Billionaire Heiress's Contract Marriage Chapter 70
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

Julian sat in his office, his phone in his hand, his thumb hovering over the call button.The screen lit up with Alexis’s name, the last dialed number.He exhaled sharply and pressed it again.Ring.Ring.Rejected.His jaw clenched as he stared at the darkened screen.She wasn’t even hesitating. She wasn’t letting it ring out or sending a quick excuse, she was outright rejecting him.Julian ran a hand through his hair in frustration. He had been calling her nonstop, and every time, the response was the same.Rejected.He opened their chat, his fingers hovering over the keyboard.Alexis, we need to talk.No. Delete.At least hear me out.No. Delete.Tell me what you think you know.Delete.He leaned back in his chair, exhaling sharply.He knew that she knew.Or, at least, she thought she did.Julian wasn’t stupid, Victoria had confirmed that Ryan had spoken to Alexis. And whatever he had told her, it was enough to make her shut Julian out completely.But how much did she know?Did she

Harrison leaned back in his chair, studying her. “That’s unlike you. You never waste time traveling when things can be solved from here.”Alexis forced a small smile. “I’ve been working nonstop. A trip wouldn’t hurt.”Harrison didn’t look convinced, but he also knew his daughter well enough to recognize when she wasn’t willing to be questioned further. After a long pause, he nodded. “Fine. Make sure everything goes well. I don’t want unnecessary delays.”“I will,” she assured him.Just as she turned to leave, he added, “Julian will be going with you?”Her jaw clenched, but she didn’t let her expression falter. “No. I didn’t tell him yet.”That seemed to make Harrison even more suspicious, but Alexis didn’t give him the chance to probe further. “I’ll keep you updated,” she said before walking out.By the time she reached the parking lot and slid into the car, her calm façade cracked just a little.Her father had unknowingly struck a nerve.Julian hShe hadn’t even considered telling hi

Julian had had enough.Sitting in his office, waiting like some helpless fool, wasn’t an option anymore. Alexis was slipping away, and if he didn’t do something now, he might lose her for good.His decision was made. He was going to the Montgomery Group.Just as he stood up, Victoria walked in, holding a folder. “Sir, there’s an important meeting with...”“I don’t care.”Victoria blinked, caught off guard. “Julian, it’s crucial...”“I said I don’t care,” he cut her off sharply, already moving past her. “Reschedule it. Cancel it. I don’t give a damn.”Victoria’s eyes narrowed. She had known Julian long enough to see when something was deeply wrong. And right now, he wasn’t just irritated, he was desperate.“Julian,” she called after him, her voice low and careful. “You can’t just storm into the Montgomery Group without a plan.”Julian paused at the doorway but didn’t turn around. His hands clenched into fists. “I don’t have time for a plan, Victoria,” he muttered, his voice strained. “

Julian stormed out of the Montgomery Group, his head pounding with frustration. He barely noticed the curious stares of the employees as he made his way to his car, his fingers dialing Victoria’s number before he even shut the door.She answered on the second ring. “Julian?”“Find out where Alexis went,” he ordered, his voice sharp and urgent. “I don’t care what it takes. Just get me the details.”Victoria, ever efficient, didn’t waste time with questions. “I’ll get back to you in ten.”Julian ended the call and exhaled, gripping the steering wheel tightly. Alexis had left, but that didn’t mean she had escaped him.Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, Alexis stepped off the jet, the crisp Parisian air hitting her as she descended the stairs.The city was bright, alive, and bustling, but for her, it felt muted. Her thoughts were too loud.She handed her bag to the waiting chauffeur, barely paying attention as she reached for the car door.Just as she was about to step inside, a voice fr

Ryan nodded solemnly. “Even if you found out the truth, Julian had a backup plan. He wasn’t just going to let you walk away. That’s why he’s after you now. He’s going to twist things, make you believe it wasn’t as bad as it seems. But you know the truth, Alexis. He doesn’t love you. He never did. He just didn’t expect to lose control this soon.”Silence stretched between them.Alexis didn’t just feel hurt.She felt rage.Her nails dug into her palms, her entire body stiff with the weight of Ryan’s words.Julian had played her.Humiliated her.And she had let him.But not anymore.She looked Ryan dead in the eyes, her voice cold as ice. “If Julian thinks he still has control over me… he’s in for a rude awakening.”Ryan smirked.Perfect.Ryan hid his smirk quickly, schooling his expression into one of concern.He needed Alexis to stay angry, to let the fury consume her so completely that she would never look back.“I just don’t want you to fall for his tricks again, Alexis,” he said, hi

At the Montgomery subdivision office in Paris, Alexis stepped into the sleek, modern office her heels clicking against the polished marble floor.The entire floor was abuzz with tension, employees moving frantically, whispering among themselves, eyes darting toward her as she made her way through the main hallway.She ignored the stares.Right now, she had one goal, to get to the bottom of the crisis that had erupted in this branch and fix it before it spiraled further out of control.She had barely been in the city for an hour, yet her mind was already occupied with balancing two battles, one professional and one personal.She exhaled sharply.The personal could wait.For now, she needed to ensure that the Montgomery name didn’t suffer any further."Ms. Montgomery," her Parisian assistant, Margot, hurried over, holding a tablet in one hand and a folder in the other. "We’ve compiled all the details regarding the crisis. The internal investigation suggests that the issue stems from a b

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

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
