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
The Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 31
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
The Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 32
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
The Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 35
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

Alexander's POVMy eyes widened in shock as the figure emerged from the shadows. I couldn't shake off the feeling of fear and danger.I am Alexander King! I can't be scared of my fellow man who might just be pulling a prank.But my confidence dissipated when he brought out a sharp long knife, dripping with blood. I shuddered in fear, as a chill ran down my spine."Who are you?" I demanded, trying to keep my voice steady.My first instinct was to shield Layla from this deadly looking man. I pulled her behind me and I could feel her breath fanning my back.I should have listened to her!The figure chuckled, a cold, gloomy sound. "I'm someone who's been watching you for a long time, Alex. Someone who knows all about your dirty little secrets."I took a step back, my eyes darting towards my mother's motionless body. "What do you want?"The figure took a step closer, its smile growing wider. "Oh, I think you know. I want what's mine. And I'll stop at nothing until I get it."I felt so vuln

Layla's POV“What are you doing?!” I screamed at Alex, seeing the way he smashed his phone.His temper has gotten worse! Is it because of the accident he had?He looked at me, standing to his feet. “I think something happened to my mom!” “Calm down, Alex.” I caressed his shoulders. He shoved my hands away. “You keep telling me to calm down!” I glared at him. “Cos that's the only way you can resolve your issues, not by getting mad!”“Okay,” he took a few deep breaths.“Good, now call your grandmother,” I said and he looked at the already destroyed phone, regretting his actions. “It's already destroyed.” He pouted.I rolled my eyes. “Take mine.” I handed my phone over to him.He dialed Emilia's number and she picked on the second ring. “Grandma, I think something’s happened to my mother.” He complained. He looks very worried.After all she did, he still cares about her! I clenched my fist in anger.I looked up at him and his expression says it all, his grandmother isn't interested at

Alexander's POVLayla is taking too long, it's been five hours now since she left the house. What if something bad had happened to her. She has never left my presence for this long, no matter how pressing the matter was.I stood up and wore my clothes quickly. I dialed Larry's number, “give me the location of Layla's grandmother's house.” I ordered and he sent it to me immediately.I drove quickly to the place, only to encounter a horrifying sight. A middle aged woman was running towards Layla with alarming speed. My heart almost jumped out of my chest when I sighted the sharp knife in her hand.“Layla!” I shouted. Jumping out of the car, I rushed to Layla, who stood glued to a spot. She must have been shocked.I pushed Layla out of the way and I felt the sharp knife pierce through my stomach. The woman stood frozen, looking at me as blood oozed out of my belly.“Alex!” Layla screamed, her tone, a mixture of pain and agony. “Not again!” She thundered. I slumped on the floor feeling

Layla's POVWhat does she mean by he killed his own mother? I wondered as I eavesdropped on their conversation. I glued my ears to the door as I heard Alex's grandmother sob.I tiptoed after Alex earlier, he was in a hurry that he didn't notice someone silently following him.“What!” Alex hundred. He must have been taken aback by such revelation.“What do you mean, I killed my mother?” He asked, his voice shaking.Alex's grandmother blew her nose, “you were still a young boy at that time. It must have been out of anger. Since your father just died, we thought you might be grieving.” She paused for a while and I couldn't hold myself, I became impatient. Go on! I thought.“Your mother never cared for you when you were a child. She never loved your father, it was an arranged marriage by your grandfather, but the both of them never loved each other. It was always from one quarrel to another. You practically grew up with me. I had to look after you. Your father loved you dearly. There's no

Alexander's POVThe woman dragged me out of the hall. I paused, snatching my hands away from hers. “What's going on woman?” I asked. She paused and looked at me, her eyes filled with tears and affection.Who is this woman? And she says she knows my mother?She touched my face, her soft hands, cold on my skin. “How time flies.” She said as tears flowed down her cheek and strangely, it broke my heart.It felt like I had known her for a long time.“Who are you?” I asked, looking suspiciously at her.She smiled, “I just came to see you, Alex.”I shifted away from her. “For what? I barely know you.” I started, furrowing my brows.She wiped her tears with the back of her palm. “Your mother is alive, Alex and she needs you badly.”I squinted my eyes. “What?” I thundered, not believing my ears.Larry clearly told me that my mother was deceased when he was telling me about my past. “My mother's dead, woman. Get away from me!” I pushed her away and she staggered and fell to the ground.“No, Ale

Layla's POVShould I admit that I'm falling in love with this new side of Alex? I feel like I'm experiencing our love for the second time."It's no time to celebrate yet, let's move!" Larry exclaimed, interrupting our moment.Alex frowned. "Can you please stop interrupting us, Larry? What's your problem?"Alex turned to me and asked, "Is he really my friend?"I just smiled, not wanting to get involved in their conversation.Larry apologized, bowing his head slightly. "I'm sorry, boss. I didn't mean to interrupt. I'm just being cautious. There might be someone in the crowd trying to harm you."Alex looked around, as if searching for potential threats. "Really?" he asked me, and I nodded in agreement."That's how many enemies you have," I said.Alex sighed. "Let's go, then."As we entered the car, my phone buzzed with a message. I sighed when I saw who the sender was - my grandmother, still demanding money. I had already given her the funds for her surgery, and she was living comfortabl

Alexander's POVThe meeting grew more heated by the minute. "He's not your real father?" a shareholder asked, looking confused."What do you mean?" a bespectacled man demanded, slamming his fist on the table. "What's going on, Mr. Ryan King?"My father smiled smugly at me. "Don't mind my ignorant son. He's lost his memories, so he's prone to saying nonsense. Don't believe a word he says. He's still my son, after all."I felt a surge of anger at his words. How could he deny the truth like this?"I'm telling you, he's not my real father!" I insisted. "And I have proof!"The room fell silent, with all eyes on me. My father's smile disappeared for a moment before he regained his composure."Proof?" he repeated. "I'd love to see it."I hesitated, realizing I had no proof.How do I defend myself against this heartless bastard? I wondered.I have no memory of my past, and I don't know of truly I had sexually harassed this receptionist.My eyes became filled with tears as I was stuck between

Layla's POVMy mind hasn't been at rest since Alex left the house. I placed a call to him but I was forwarded to voicemail.All these scenarios that have been unfolding lately are already making me tired.Can't we just have a day of rest and true happiness? I wondered.Larry's call came through, interrupting my thoughts and I picked immediately.“What's going on? Why is Alex not picking his calls?” I bombarded him with questions.He heaved a sigh. “He instructed me to wait in the car so that he'll handle things himself.” He replied.“And you obeyed?” I slammed, not believing my ears. “There's nothing I could have done, " Layla calmed down. He is Alexander King, he will fix himself.” he said.I let out a sigh to calm my nerves. “What if he's already been removed?” “That can't happen, we already have a plan.” He replied and I hung up.I can't just stay idle, I have to do something. I thought as I picked up the car keys and headed for the King's ancestral mansion.When I arrived, I ali

Alexander's POVThe driver’s tone suggests that I'm being a coward, even though I didn't understand what they were talking about.I have responsibilities to face, and using my memory loss as an excuse won't help. I need to take action and stop making excuses, instead of just sitting around feeling helpless.“But how?” Layla asked, looking at me with great concern.I never trusted her at first when she confessed to being my wife. I had thought she married me because of my status, but with the way she stood up against the old hag and with how attracted I felt towards her earlier, I couldn't doubt anymore.“With your help,” I replied. “You will tell me everything about me, and you,” I pointed at Larry. “You will tell me everything about the company, showing me the pictures of the workers, their names and positions and how they got there.”“Okay, boss.” He nodded. Then his face became sad. “Including the bad memories, boss?” I hesitated for a while, “yes,” I nodded.“Okay, let's get to b
