The Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter Eight
RussellIf it took her about twelve hours to find me, it only meant one thing, she came by the road. Cheryl Moore. What the hell does she want? Is she a spy?Grabbing my laptop, I headed out of my hotel room. It was a good thing I booked an entire suite. I looked her up on the internet, and several people popped on my screen with no one exactly standing out. They were just random. No important position, no influential person, just some bunch of Cheryls, although one of them caught my attention. There was something quite familiar about her, which I couldn't place my finger on. The sound of the intercom stole my attention and I closed my laptop, heading for the door. Sliding the door open, I crossed my arms above the broad expanse of my chest, narrowing my gaze at Tom, who muttered a few words of apology before stepping out of the way. Tearing my gaze away from him, my eyes locked with the object of my frustration, and my heart stirred a little as a pair of determined caramel-colored
The Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter One
Cheryl’s POVIt was another winter in the South Texas Plains region, and even though most people believed that the weather was fairly mild in this part of Texas compared to the northeastern part of the United States, grabbing a cup of coffee and a snack just before heading out to work wasn't unusual. The thick whir of frothing machines, the airy slurp of empty whipping cream canisters, the clicking sound of coins in a tip jar, and the chiming sound of the door sure portended that the day couldn't get any busier.The scent of espresso, freshly brewed coffee, ground beans, freshly baked cookies and muffins, vanilla and chocolate aroma wafted in the air, strong enough to cause stomachs to rumble.Warm smiles plastered on customers' faces who had different orders of whipped cream laced with chocolate drizzle, hearty sandwiches with the zing of mustard, nutty cookies, chocolate chunk waffles, cinnamon buns, and coffee cake among several others."Mmm...this tastes heavenly. I'll certainly d
The Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter Two
Cheryl’s POV"Of course is it.""You get my point?" Kathleen's voice was ecstatic."What point? This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. You want me to marry Russell Walker, a man I barely know just because I'm desperate for money? You can't be serious."The hair on the nape of my neck stiffened, my face reddened, and a sheen of sweat broke on my face, dragging my hands through my hair repeatedly, I paced about, scoffing."Cheryl, I know that this sounds insane, and-""Of course, it's insane, and you girl- are crazier than this bizarre idea of yours." Flailing my hands in the air, I rolled my eyes."This is probably the last thing you would ever want to consider, but, it might also be the only solution to the problem at hand. Look, if my guess is correct, you'll get a divorce immediately after Russell Walker becomes the CEO of Tyler and Walker Corporation and if you can get married as soon as possible, this should not take more than a few months.""Can you even hear yourself
The Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter Three
Russell’s POVTwo weeks earlier...Warmth spread through my body as skillful hands worked their way down my chest. A full-body therapeutic massage right after a medical check-up could pass as another thing almost as good as sex. Almost.About twenty minutes earlier, I had my doubts about the tall, beautiful slender pistachio green-eyed masseuse right in front of me. I needed no other cue. Her friendliness, seductive smile, and exaggerated grins portended that her eagerness to have a session with me was a teeny tiny bit more than her passion for her job.No doubt, any right-thinking man would notice her sex appeal, and as her hands moved south, my arousal twitched. It probably had everything to do with her sultry voice, teasing hands, and those dreamy green eyes.Why was she pouting her lips? She's flirting...I had Doctor Lee to thank for not giving in to the desire pooling in my pants. With his door only a few steps away, I'd rather put up my best behavior.Her hands inched a little
The Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter Four
Russell’s POVThe present…It was exactly two-thirty. I anticipated the traffic on the road to Converse, but the longer-than-usual multi-lane traffic I was stuck in exceeded what I expected. Given the traffic, it would take another thirty minutes or a little more to reach the construction site in Converse. I leaned back against my wrap-around leather couch, resting my head against my knuckles, eyes shut. A deep sigh escaped from my lips as my mind replayed the events of the past few weeks. Dr. Lee's diagnosis had been quite a shocker, and it wasn't until the previous week that the reality hit hard.I stroked an eyebrow and rubbed my hand on my pant leg. The day had been unproductive. Of all the received applications, only thirty women made it for an interview, and not a single one of them passed. As much as I needed a wife urgently, certain criteria must be met.Sex appeal...I swallowed hard. It couldn't be that hard to find a very attractive woman in a few days.

Cheryl’s POVI woke up to the buzzing sound of my cell phone. Blurry-eyed, I rummaged for it, and without glancing at who it was, I slid my screen. "Goodness, Cheryl!! I'm just one minute from tagging you as a missing person. Where the hell have you been? I've been trying to reach you for hours! Mrs. Wellington told me what happened! I'll come to that shortly. Hell, I even went as far as going back home to find you because I know that you have nowhere to go. Where are you?!"I snapped out of my groggy state immediately, and my chest tightened. Right! The fire! It wasn't a dream. It was real! My eyes roved around the room, and I caught sight of a telephone, an alarm clock, and a lampstand on a nightstand.Fuck! How did I get here? Abruptly, I got up from the rumpled white sheets."Can you even hear me? Where are you, Cheryl?""K-Kathleen..." Was that thick voice, mine? If I didn't know better, I would swear I had a frog stuck down my throat. "I...I don't know how I got here.""Where
The Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter Six
Cheryl’s POVOur ride came to a halt and Kathleen and I stepped out of the yellow and checker taxi. I glanced up at the white tall skyscraper before me with an inscription- "Tyler and Walker Corporation" and a huff escaped from my lips. Kathleen's hand clasped mine and our fingers intertwined."You can do this, Cheryl. I believe in you." As pleasing as those nine words were, they did almost nothing to placate the sudden tightness in my chest.Gulping saliva down my parched throat, I looked over at Kathleen. "Do you think this is going to work? I'm no match for someone like Russell Walker. What if he doesn't even spare me a glance?""Look at me." Kathleen held me by the arms, turning my body to face her. "You're overthinking this, Cheryl. From the looks of it, he needs a wife, and you passed the qualifications for an interview, well..." She rolled her eyes. -"Even though you didn't apply. If this goes as planned, you'll be doing Russell Walker a huge favor just as much as he'll be doin

Russell “It’s Mr Walker, sir. He wants to have a word.” Taking off my pair of sunglasses, I grabbed the cell phone from Tom hesitantly. Dad never lets me have my way, does he? “If this is another attempt of yours to indulge in frivolities, abort the mission and get back here, Russell. It won’t get you anywhere.” “I thought we talked about this. Does the means ever matter? What matters is the end, which is closing the deal with Afribolt Tech. Come on, Dad, You know you don’t really care about how I go about this. All you want is the profit.” “Not at the expense of my reputation. I’ll not let you have another scandal. Not under my watch, Russell. I already arranged my team for a flight to Oklahoma, they’re bringing you back to Texas. I’ll handle the deal myself.” “I can’t let that happen. Not when I’m this close to securing the deal. I’ll be back in Texas when this is over. See you in three days, or maybe even less, Dad.” Without waiting for his reaction, I hung up the phone and too
