The Billionaire’s Contract Marriage Thirty eight
"Are you going to be fine on your own?" Alex asked as he was about to go out to work. He had requested for another help at home but they had not gotten one yet. It was also already past Steph's due date and Alex knew how anxious Steph was. He wanted to calm her down but she was telling him she was fine even though he knew she wasn't. Alex moved towards where Steph was sitting on the couch. He dropped his bag on the side and sat next to Steph."I know you're worried about the fact that it's already the second day already past the due date," Alex said and Steph turned her face to the other side."No, I am not," she said and turned her face to the other side so he wouldn't see her face.He smiled and turned her face back to him with his hands on her jaw."You will be fine and Isabella will come to us at the right time, that I am sure of," Alex said with a smile."Alright, alright," Steph said."Or do you want me to stay home with you? Let's watch friends together and eat popcorn on t

Oliver looked down at his phone. It was a message from Luna. He looked at the picture she had sent, it was a picture of his mum with a gun to her head. He wondered what kind of game they were playing, he couldn't believe that things could get to that point. He immediately called her back."What is this you're doing?" He asked upset.Luna laughed wickedly at the other end. "What do you think it is?" She asked."Do not do anything to my mum," he said. He was scared but he didn't want to show it.The past few weeks he had known Luna and Frank, he had perceived them as very crazy people who didn't care so much about life and anything.He knew they could do anything just to get what they want."I won't do anything as long as you follow my instructions. But the moment you deviate and do something I don't like. I will call him to pull the trigger," Luna said.Oliver's heart raised rapidly. He blamed himself for ever being involved in the first place. He hated the kind of situation he had

The pain and all.What made it worse was that it was also his birthday.Early in the morning, he had thought it was the best day ever as he had been given Isabella but slowly it had turned to his worst day ever.He had not gone to meet Steph. He wasn't sure how to be strong for her, being that way.He couldn't pretend to be strong for her and he knew she didn't need another person crying next to her.He rather just stayed away.He picked up his third glass of wine.

He opened his phone and the first picture he saw was the one he had asked the doctor to take if he and Steph with Isabella.Has he looked more at the picture, his eyes got watery again. He wished he could turn back the hands of time and held her longer, hugged her tighter and stared at her longer. He wished he did a

Steph opened her closet as she made up her mind to park up her things. She wasn't sure if she was making the best decision but she knew there was nothing for her in Alex's place again.The reason they were both together at first was cause of the baby and now that she was not in the picture anymore. Steph figured that it was best that she left.She decided to accept her mum's proposal and go to the house.She wasn't even sure how her dad was going to react yet but she felt it was better to get there and find out.As Steph packed the stuffs into her bag, she came across the knitted dress and hat that Lucy had gifted her before going. She sat by the edge of her bed as she stared at it.She held it closely and a tear dropped down her face. She didn't even get to give Isabella the dress. She didn't get to wear it for her and tell her how it was made with so much love.Steph decided to take it with her. She didn't know if it was the best decision since it would keep making her remember.Ste

Steph was in her room when she heard a knock on her door. It was evening already and she was just going through the things on her phone. She had seen the pictures from when she and Alex had gone out for the shopping and it had been so much memories for her.She didn’t know whether to keep the pictures or to let them go, she wasn’t sure if she still needed that kind of memory around. Steph went towards the door wondering who it was. “Who is it?” She asked.“It’s me,” she heard the familiar voice and realized that it was her dad.He was the one who was by the door. She didn’t know what to expect by opening the door but she knew she had no choice. She was in their house now and was supposed to live by their rules.She thought about the time that she would just hide inside the room so no one would see her or talk to her. Her room was her safe heaven and it had always been that way.Steph opened the door for her dad to come in. He was still in his work clothes so she figured that he ha

They all stopped watching the TV and turned over to their dad. "I am sorry," Steph said, whispering next to Anna."It's fine. Was about time anyways," Anna said.She wasn't sure if Anna was ready to tell her parents yet so she felt bad that she took away the opportunity from her."Dinner will get cold," their mum suddenly said. In an attempt to divert the attention from what was happening and back to the food she had prepared."We really should go now,"their mum said.She started walking towards the table and everyone followed her. Anna was glad that her mum was able to do something to help her evade what was coming next for her.They all sat by the table and they started to serve the food."So, tell me about this new hobby," her dad suddenly said as they started to eat.Steph turned to Anna to give her a reassuring look. She had also thought that their dad would forget about it all when he sat down to eat but the opposite was the case.Anna looked back at Steph and their mum glance

Alex’s memories of the night before was a bit hazy, he thought about it as he sat by his study desk about to pen down something. He remembered he had gone to bed early after Luna had left, he had been drunk and had been so tired. Alex picked a paper from his desk and a pen about to write what he had in mind. He had decided to write Steph a letter each day till she agreed to be his. He wasn’t sure how his plans were going to work but he remembered how much Steph appreciated things like handwritten notes and thoughtful messages.He wanted to be that and more for her and he wasn’t going to give up anytime soon. He started the letter and when he was done, he put a seal on it and called someone who was going to deliver it to Steph’s place with a bunch of white roses, her favorite. Alex hoped she reconsidered, that she saw through him and how much he wanted to be with her. Steph woke quiet early from bed today. She had decided to pop up at her place of work and submit her res

Steph wake up quiet late today. She didn’t have anything to do so her mind wasn’t really set at trying to make it early. She struggled to get out of bed. These days were better, she wasn’t drowning in her sorrows like she was earlier and she was starting to feel she could look past it. But that scared her. It scared her because she felt in a few months, she wouldn’t think about her girl again, her memory would have completely faded away from her and she didn’t want that. She didn’t.Steph stood and stayed in front of the mirror, she realized that she still had some pregnancy fat and had been too lazy and exhausted to shed it away. She hadn’t paid so much attention to it. She decided she was going to try going for a run every morning. It might help with her mental health and also her body. Steph was about to go into the bathroom when her phone started to ring. She wondered who it was because it was always just the people home with her that ever called her. She went towards her

Steph lay her head on Alex's laps as they both watched "friends" for the 100th time.

Steph stretched her hands to the other side of the bed and then she realized there was no one there. She sat upright on the bed, rubbing her eyes with her fingers. She yawned and forced her eyes open. She realized that there was no one there.

After Alex had gone, Mia came out of the room as Steph closed the door behind Alex. Steph sat on the couch and Mia sat next to her. Steph was still beaming and she was all smiles. Mia hadn't seen her be this way in a long time and she was really excited about all of it. Steph stared at the stuffed animal Isabella was playing with. She smiled looking at her."She is so pretty," she said and a tear dropped down her cheek."Just like her mum, she has your best features," Mia said and she smiled."Isabella," Steph called but Isabella didn't turn and then Steph realized that she wasn't used to being called that."She doesn't even know her name," Steph said."I have missed so many important parts of her life," she added.Mia moved closer to Steph and held her hands."Yes, you have but there is still a lifetime ahead of you to be with her," Mia said, while they both watched Isabella."Before you know it, she is 18 and ready to go off to college," Steph said and Mia chuckled."There i

Alex walked back into the living room where Steph and Mia was."What's going on?" Steph asked, looking up at Alex.Alex sat next to Steph on the chair."The police have already gotten to where Frank and Mia are," he explained.Steph sighed."That's a sign of relief at least.""What they did is crazy, I don't know why Frank would do that to me. He is supposed to be my best friend," Alex said. He was really pained and had expected so much more from his friend."I can't believe Oliver too. Is the police going to get him too? Steph asked.Even after all the terrible things he did. She still cared for him. "We don't have enough evidence on him yet so it's only if Frank and Luna drag him along with them," he explained."First, she lied about being pregnant and all and now this? I can't believe that both of them would do such to me. That's really desperate," he added."What did Leslie say about Isabella? Will you two be able to get her back?" Mia asked."She said it will depend, if they are
