The Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 28
Alexander's POVI was dumbfounded after hearing Layla talk. I went silent for a while, trying to process her statement."You've been what?" I exclaimed. She sobbed as he explained. "I went to Amelia's place to confront her about her involvement in Zara's death, and the cops came in and took me, accusing me of murder." I ended the call. "How dare she! I gritted my teeth, trying to curb my rage. "Amelia had gone too far!" How is she always steps ahead of me? I thought. She couldn't have done this all by herself.I went to the station to check on my wife. The cops stood up and greeted me, wondering why I was at the station.Their boss walked up to me. "What brings you by sir?" He asked, his head bowed to the floor. "Do you have a case to report? We will be excited to help you out, sir." He said sharply."My wife is here?" I said and the whole place went silent as they looked at me, surprise and shock written on their faces.Their boos smiled. "What can she be doing here?" He looked up

Layla's POVI woke up to a message from my dad.This man would not cease to provoke me.What does he want from me this time? I thought, checking his message.He sent me a location to meet up with him, threatening to expose the truth if I refuse to show up.“Should I just come clean and tell Alex about it.” I said aloud.“Hmm, what's that,” Alex said, walking into the room.How come I didn't notice him coming in? “You wanted to tell me something?” He asked, placing a kiss on my neck as I sat on the bed.“Yeah,” I smiled, hesitating. “I want to go out with a friend.” I lied, praying inwardly that he doesn't suspect.“A friend?” He chuckled. “You’ve never told me about them.”“Yes, I just started making friends.” I said.He looked at me. I'm sure he doesn't believe what I said. “It's okay, you can go see your friends. But do not trust anyone, they might be close to you because you're my wife. Wanting to use you for their personal gains.” He kissed me passionately and left the room.I hea

Alexander's POVWhat is taking her so long? I thought. I had already planned for us to go on a date so she could ease her stress.I know she is going through something, but I haven't figured out what it is yet.After the death of Zara and Amelia, my suspicions about Layla increased.I know someone is protecting her and I will find out who the person is soon.I sat on the chair, as I sipped my wine gently.The door flung open and Layla walked in, looking like a ghost.I stood up to meet her. She almost collapsed, but I held her quickly.I took her to the room and laid her on the bed.I had better leave her alone now and ask the questions tomorrow. As I turned to leave, she held me back as she wailed.“My mother is dead!” She lamented.That came as a surprise. I made sure all of her bills are sorted and she gets the best treatment.The last time I went there, the doctor assured me that she was fine and already responding to treatment.I need to go check on things myself, but I can't lea

Layla's POVI woke up the next morning feeling so tired and weak.My head throbbed in pain and I stood up to take the pain killer tablets.I swallowed the drugs and took a deep sigh.Where could Alex be? Was his encounter with the killer not successful? I wondered as my heart raced in fear.I stood up and went to the bathroom. I stopped in my tracks as I saw blood stains on the floor and in the bath.“Alex!” I called, looking around the room. What could have happened to him? I wondered. My body was trembling so much that it became difficult for me to stand upright.I ran down the stairs, colliding with one of the workers. I stopped her. “Where is my husband?” I asked her.“He is at the dining hall.” She stammered.I ran straight to the dinning hall and he was already seated calmly enjoying his breakfast.“Darling!” He called, smiling at me.I went to meet him. “Are you okay?” I asked, examining his body. But there was no bruise or cut.“Yes, I am.” He said.“But then, why…is there blo

Alexander's POVI still remember vividly my encounter with the killer. Unexpectedly, he dashed at me with the dagger in his hands, but I dogged it in time. His eyes were cold and desperate. I took his arm and twisted it backwards, causing the dagger to fall off his hands. He shrieked in pain. I smirked. He was powerless now. I thought.I walked towards him in calculated steps. I shouldn't underestimate a killer, he might have another deadly weapon hidden away.He probably saw that he was no match for me, so he fled. Without thinking twice I shot at him, twice, thrice I kept shooting until his body wasn't moving. I walked closer to him and he was already covered in a pool of blood. His eyes were opened wide in shock. I'm sure he never expected to die that way. I pulled off the mask covering my face. He looked old, in his late forties. He probably had kids. I shook my head in pity. He deserves it. I thought.I checked his body for anything that could explain why he killed those wom

Layla's POV“How about we make babies tonight?” He said and I gasped in shock.I wasn't expecting that. I shook my head in disagreement.My body really wants him tonight. Every inch of my body is screaming for his touch right now, but my heart doesn't agree.My heart had been stabbed earlier today.I couldn't believe my eyes when Olivia stepped out of the limited edition limousine. It's not that I don't want her to live a life of luxury. As a matter of fact, I was excited. As she walked gracefully inside the cafe, all eyes were turned to her.Everything she wore, to her accessories were screaming wealth. How did she come about so much money? I thought.I waved at her and she walked up to me.I stood up and gave her a deep hug. I had missed her embrace so much.She was always there for me. Giving me a hug whenever I needed one. Whenever I was down and happy she was always there. I owe her my life.I smiled, looking at her over and over.“Will you stop making me uncomfortable?” She sai

Alexander's POVI headed out of the house to a club to ease myself. Seeing her will only make things worse and I might do things I would regret.The atmosphere of the club was soothing. It's been a while since I last visited a club. The music blasted across the room as the disco lights shined.Everyone was crazy. Young women scantily dressed danced crazily to the music as men grabbed their boobs, enjoying themselves.“Disgusting!” I spat.I walked into the VIP section and some people were busy making out.I almost puked, the sight was so irritating.Should I just chase them out and take the whole place for the night or just let them be? I thought. I went for the latter.I sat on the sofa and I was served one of the most expensive wines.I relaxed, enjoying myself when a lady who was almost naked walked up to me.“Hi, sugar!” She moaned.“Shit!” I cursed.“I can keep you company for the night you know.” She said in a seductive way.I looked her over and I must say she is quite beautif

Layla's POV My mind wasn't at ease with the message I got from Alex. He would never text me like that. It was just too bland. I decided to call Larry. I need his help right now because a part of me feels Alex is in danger. He picked the call immediately it rang. “Hi!” I greeted cheerfully. It's been long since I last saw him. Alex had decided to send him off that he could handle things himself, but I know he needs Larry. “What's up?” He said nonchalantly. “Are you mad at me?” I asked, pouting my lips. If Alex were here he would have been red with anger. “I believe boss isn't there?” He asked. “Yes, he isn't. But I think he might be in danger.” I said, and he fell silent. “Can you help me.” “The boss is in danger?” He asked, his voice laced with a sense of urgency and concern. “I said might. He sent me a message and I think it's weird.” “Forward the message to me.” He said. I forwarded it immediately and he called me. “I'm coming over, lock yourself in the room now! Do not

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.

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

Alexander's POVI need to learn more about the secret society members. Why didn't my father mention them in his journals? I've searched his study and library, but found no clues or documents. 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
