The Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 19
Layla's POVI adjusted my designer gown, feeling like a princess for the night. Alex had sent me to represent him at the charity gala, as he had other important matters to attend to.What was he thinking? I thought. Sending me to a place like this on my own! I am his wife, after all.I smiled as I remembered his words to me before I entered the car. "You are brave and smart, and I love you." He said, and he gave me a gentle kiss.I sipped my champagne as I mingled with the guests. I noticed a man staring at me from across the room. He was handsome, but his eyes seemed intense. I shrugged it off, focusing on the evening's purpose. I was undoubtedly the best dressed. Alex has an exceptional taste. He had adorned me in the finest attire, a stunning black flow gown, that cost a lot of money. I dare not dwell on the price, the extravagant cost was mind blowing!Later, I saw Amelia approaching me with a sly smile. Why is she always everywhere? I wondered."Layla, darling, you look stunni

Alexander's POVAnger coursed through my veins as I stared at Amelia who was being dragged away.She has become a bone in my neck and I need to get rid of her before she tries anything stupid again.We entered the car and zoomed off to the villa. Layla stared at me, noticing my anger she touched my laps and patted it gently. "You don't need to get worked up over a crazy woman. She keeps losing to me anyway." She smiled sweetly at me. "You are mine, and no other woman can have you." She declared, her voice resonating with confidence.My anger vanished immediately. "What about my family?" I asked. I don't want her to be overly confident. My grandmother can get her killed and no one will question her about it.Her gaze suddenly became cold. "I will make them love me." She said. I looked at her with so much pride in my eyes. "I love this new side of yours." I said.When we entered, she made a turn to her room, but I held her hands. "How about we start staying in the same room. We are mar

Layla's POVI got a weird message from an unknown number telling me to come alone if I want to save my husband. The location was sent to me immediately.My heart raced. Could Alex be in trouble? I asked.I wanted to call Larry, but I decided against it, since I was warned to come alone. Things like this don't end well. I thought.Who could be behind this? Amelia came to mind, but I shrugged it off. She can't hurt Alex. She loves him. I put on my clothes quickly and dashed out of the house. Driving at full speed, I got to the location within a few minutes.The place was deserted and grasses had overgrown the area. There was no sign of buildings talking more humans.I got out of the car and called the anonymous number,but I was forwarded to voicemail.I tried looking around then I felt a hard object hit my head."Argh!" I screamed and fell to the ground. Two pairs of hands lifted me off the ground and put me in a van. I became dizzy and I fell unconscious.Later, I felt water wash down

Alexander's POV"Layla is leaving." My grandmother declared. "Here's the divorce papers." She threw a brown envelope on the table. "Sign it and get lost!" She yelled at Layla."Grandmother, what are you doing?" I walked closer to her. "Layla is not leaving. She is my wife!" I exclaimed."No, Alex dear." She fixed my collar. "Layla was never good for you. Here's the lady I brought for you." She said, handing Zara over to me. "I heard she is carrying your child. Your heir. Let this slut go and be happy with your first love." She stared, smiling.My inside burned with rage. "What! Have you gone crazy grandma?" I gazed at her. "Don't be deceived by this sly woman. You didn't even check to confirm if the child is mine.""I don't care. As long as this bitch gets to leave." She said, pointing at Layla. "You know I never consented to this nonsensical marriage in the first place."I held back the tears that threatened to fall. "I will leave." Layla said."Good!" My grandmother exclaimed happ

Layla's POVI walked down the lonely road. It was dark and there was no sign of humans. Rain poured down heavily, drenching me to the bones. I couldn't care less about the cold.I had a flashback to when my mother and I were brutally sent out of my father's house and the tears I had been struggling to hold back poured down heavily.Just when I thought I would be happy with the man I love. Why does life keep treating me this way? I thought.I can't face my mother right now, I feel so ashamed.I continued walking as I had nowhere to go. I decided against spending the money in my account because they are Alex's and I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore.I must have been deceiving myself, thinking I can now enjoy life. I laughed at myself. Maybe happiness wasn't made for me."Fool!" I said to myself, hitting my head continuously with my fist.After long hours of walking, my strength was already gone and I could barely walk. My head became heavy and I couldn't see properly.

Alexander's POVDays have passed and I still haven't seen Layla. Where could she have gone to? I asked myself.I kept a close tab on her account, but she hasn't spent anything from the money. I was terribly worried. How has she been living? I wondered.She couldn't have left the country. If she had, my men would have informed me.I spend most of my time at the hospital, expecting her to show up and see her mother. I know how much she cherished her mother, but she hasn't shown up.Could she have committed suicide? I thought. I shook my head. The Layla I know can't kill herself over a small matter.Zara continued living in the villa. She spends her money on unnecessary things that made me question the kind of life she had been living.Amelia also comes to visit sometimes, claiming that she is taking care of her pregnant friend.I still find it hard to believe that I am responsible for Zara's pregnancy, but I can't justify myself. I allowed myself to be fooled by Amelia, so I have to

Layla's POVI still find it hard to believe that I am not Torres. After my encounter with the weird man at the slum. I demanded we do a DNA test and the result was a match. He is truly my biological father.I had transferred all the money in my account to him, so he wouldn't leak the video of him and my mom having sex to the media. I told him to delete it, but he didn't.Now he is asking for more money. I held my head and ruffled my hair on the chair that I sat on. I stared at my mom on the bed. How could she have committed such a humiliating crime?I cried as I held her hands. I had always looked up to her, wanting to be the best actress like her, but not anymore.Who could have thought that she slept with an actor, got pregnant for him and took the baby to another man's house.Father took care of me as his own. Had he known I wasn't his daughter, would he still have loved me? I thought.I don't blame my grandmother for sending us out of her son's house then.I really need to go and

Alexander's POV"Boss," Charlie, one of my bodyguard bowed apologetically as I entered into Layla mother's ward.I glared at him. "You made me lose her again!" I slammed my fist on the wall. "How could you have missed her! Just a simple task, you can't get done!" I grapped him by the collar. "Find out her location if you don't want to lose your life!" I thundered angrily, pushing him away."Boss!" Larry screamed, running towards me. "She is at the villa." He said, panting heavily."What?" I looked at him."Yes, boss." He assured.I dashed out of the hospital in haste. I snatched the car keys from Larry and drove to the villa in full speed.I can't afford to lose her again.I entered into the villa, my heart pounding, but there was no sign of Layla.I almost broke down in tears when one of the workers walked up to me."The Boss lady is waiting for you in the Master's bedroom." She said curtly, bowing as she left.I bolted to my room immediately. I opened the door and there she was. Sit

Layla's POVI patted Emilia gently on the back. And I must say this the first time we are sitting this close to each other.My heart ached for some reason as I saw the tears flow down her cheek.Shouldn't I be in regret that I ended up in a family like this? So full of secrets and wounds? I heaved a sigh, staring into oblivion.There is no going back, Layla. I said to myself as I glanced at Emilia who cleaned her nose with a tissue.Rachel stood up to get water for Emilia, “let me get you a glass of water.” Emilia held her hands. “Bring me alcohol instead.” She said,I shook my head at her. “No Emilia, you can't take that. It's dangerous to your health. You're growing old already.”The tears she had held back escaped her eyes as she wailed. “I need to get wasted. I need to punish myself for not looking after my son.” She sniffled. “He ended up in this situation because of me!”I nodded at Rachel as I stood up to go look for Alex. “What is taking him so long?” I muttered.Just as I tur

Alexander's POVAs we walked away from the City's old park, I could feel the weight of our mission settling in. We had to uncover the Order's plans and stop them before it was too late.As we split up to start our tasks, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. We were taking a huge risk by going against the Order, and I knew they wouldn't hesitate to strike back.But I also knew we had no choice. We had to stop them, no matter what it took.I made my way back to SHADOWS' headquarters, my mind focused on the task ahead. I had to find a way to get into the Order's systems, to uncover their secrets and stop their plans.As I sat down at my computer, I took a deep breath and began to work. The clock was ticking, and I knew I had to move fast.Layla already dozed off, her head on the desk as she snored loudly. She must have been so exhausted. I thought as I carried her bridal style and placed her gently on the bed, tucking her under the duvet. I placed a gentle kiss on her head.As I t

Layla's POVAs Yvette stepped forward, a sly smile spreading across her face, I thought for sure she was the spy. But then she spoke."Alex, I've been investigating the Order's communication channels. I think I've found something big."My eyes narrowed, confusion etched on my face. "What are you talking about, Yvette?" I asked.She glanced around nervously before pulling out a small device from her pocket. "I've been tracking a suspicious signal. I think it's coming from one of our own."Alex's eyes shone in alert. "What do you mean?"Yvette hesitated before speaking. "I think the spy is someone close to you, Alex. Someone who's been feeding information to the Order."Alex's expression darkened.My mind raced as I thought about the possibilities. Who could it be? Rachel? Phoenix? Larry? No, it couldn't be. I trusted them with my life."Who is it?" Alex demanded, his voice firm.Yvette hesitated again before speaking. "I'm not sure yet. But I have a few suspects in mind. Let me investi

Alexander's POVI woke up groggily, rubbing my eyes. "What's going on?"Layla took a deep breath before speaking. "Alex, we need to talk to you about your father."My expression changed from sleepy to alert in an instant. "What about him?"Rachel stepped forward, her voice gentle. "We've discovered that Phoenix, your father, is alive."My eyes widened, and I sat up straight, as if punched in the gut. "What? That's impossible."Rachel nodded, feeling a pang of sympathy for me. "We know it's a lot to take in, but we have evidence. He faked his own death to protect you and SHADOWS."My face went through a range of emotions. Shock, anger, confusion. I looked like I was struggling to process this new reality.Finally, I spoke, after much silence. My voice barely above a whisper. "Why didn't he tell me?"Rachel shook her head. "We don't know, Alex. But we're here for you, and we'll help you find out.”“How did you find out, yourself?” I asked Rachel who was looking at me.“Yvette, a skilled

Layla's POVI had always watched my husband, Alex, walk out the door, every morning, ready to face whatever dangers lay ahead. As the leader of SHADOWS, he had a heavy burden to carry, and I couldn't help but worry about his safety.But I knew he was strong and capable, and that he had a team of skilled fighters and strategists behind him. I had to trust that he would come home to me every night.As I went about my day, I couldn't help but think about the journey that had brought us here. From the moment Alex had discovered his father's secret, our lives had been turned upside down. But through it all, our love had only grown stronger.I remembered the look on his face when he had told me about becoming the leader of SHADOWS. I had seen the fear and uncertainty in his eyes, but also the determination and conviction. I knew then that he would do great things.Now, as I waited for him to return home, I felt a sense of pride and admiration for the man he had become. He was fighting for a

Alexander's POVAfter I had signed the necessary documents, I left the mansion a changed person.As the car sped away, I remembered the man's words.“You are the new leader of SHADOWS. Those people must be aware already and they know you came here, so they will try to kill you. They must have sent their men to the road by now to get rid of you since they can't get into this place. That's why I'm giving you a group of skilled fighters and bodyguards who will follow you everywhere.” I looked behind me and saw a fleet of cars driving behind me and some in front. Even the president isn’t this heavily guarded.As I gazed out at the convoy of cars surrounding me, I felt a mix of emotions. Fear, excitement, and a sense of responsibility. I was now the leader of SHADOWS, a secret organization that seemed to be hidden in mystery.The driver, a skilled fighter named Marcus, glanced in the rearview mirror. "Sir, we have a situation ahead. There's a roadblock up front, and it looks like an ambus

Layla's POVAs the man approached us, I felt my legs trembling in fear. His massive figure stood in front of us, trying to be intimidating and he really is doing a good job. Alex didn't quiver, he kept his stern expression.“You may have your seat,” he said.We had our seats and the butler came in with maids crying trays of food. They placed it on the table before us.The exquisite foods made my mouth watery as I eyed each plate of professionally cooked delicacies. I took a quick glance at Alex, whose gaze was fixed on the man as though he was trying to read him.Neither Alex nor Larry are making an attempt to touch their food. This is not fair! I exclaimed under my breath. Alex looked at me and I smiled. He gave me a sign and I knew to take my eyes off the food.“Is the food not to your taste?” The man asked, as he smoked on his cigarette, choking me with the smoke. There were like ten already smoked cigarettes in the ashtray. “I'll have them prepare something else for you then.” He

How can I become their leader when I know nothing about them?I entered my father's room, searching for it for the umpteenth time today. I slumped on the bed, worried for my life. How can I go against people I know nothing about?As I looked around, my eyes landed on a strange object in his walk-in closet. It blended with the silver design. How did I miss this?I pressed it hard, and suddenly, a ladder dropped from the ceiling to the floor. I was surprised and wondered what secrets I would uncover this time.I climbed the ladder and entered a small room. Looking around, I realized my father was indeed involved in a secret society. The room was filled with arms and ammunition on the walls and computers on tables, displaying various activities.On the screen, a casino was displayed as people gambl

Layla's POVThe way Alex stormed off made me worried. He is back to his old self.I didn't want to annoy him further so I left him to himself, praying inwardly that he comes back to his senses.I kept having the feeling that the King's family has deep secrets that no one must hear about. I have to uncover them if I want to have a peaceful marriage with Alex.Should I go talk to Emilia about it? I chuckled softly, who am I?Since Alex had decided to stay mad, I decided to explore the mansion. It has gotten better since the last time I came, all thanks to Emilia’s unique taste.I walked through the long corridors, taking in the familiar sights and sounds. Suddenly, I heard a faint noise coming from the library. I pushed open the door and found a hidden room behind the bookshelf. It was slightly opened, that was why I knew someone had been there, but not recently. Spider webs covered my face as I walked in quietly. Inside, I found a series of journals belonging to Alex's father. His nam
