The Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 40
Alexander's POV“She deserves the best.” I thought, staring at her as she sleeps soundly. I placed a gentle kiss on her head and went into my study room.I have so much work to do now. Threats have been arising from minute conglomerates who think they are something, but can never stand close to the Kings' in terms of fame and affluence. Who do they think they are? I chuckled. I'm sure someone is backing them up. That's why they had the boldness to call us out on the internet, asking if the King's fortune is not founded on blood and lies. “Silly folks.” I laughed.I have laxed in terms of business, focusing majorly on family matters. They used that as an inroute to show themselves. I need to act fast. I thought. But firstly, I have to throw a party in celebration of my wife becoming a CEO.She had told me not to throw a big party, so it's just gonna be me and her with her coworkers.The next morning, Layla got ready for her day: the day she had so much anticipated.

Layla's POVWhat is Mr Grant doing here? I wondered, as I stepped out of the car.I had handed over to him one of the mansions my mother willed to me so he could no longer stay in that shabby house.“Do you want to get yourself killed?” I exclaimed, looking at him angrily. I had vowed to keep him safe and happy, because of all his sacrifices and loyalty to my mother.I had gone through my mother's files, through the night, because I couldn't sleep. I was too excited for this day. My mother detailed all of her experiences as the chairwoman of Starlight Entertainment. She gave a list of her competitors and those who stood by her through thick and thin of which Mr Grant was one of them. He moved towards me, his hands trembling.“Layla, you can't enter that car now!” He said, his voice laced with a hint of fear and urgency.It sounded more like a warning to me. Alex stepped out of the car and came to stand by my side.“Who is this man?” He questioned, his gaze full of disgust and anger

Alexander's POV“Is that a gunshot I hear?” Layla panicked.“Be calm,” I pushed her aside.I went into my study room and brought out a small gun in one of my drawers.I pinched my forehead in annoyance. Enough of this bloody shit! I groaned under my breath.I stepped outside, of course after warning Layla not to set a foot outside.I laughed after sighting the intruder. “Oh, it's you. Bitch!” I cursed. I walked towards her, standing in front of her. I glared at her. “Like a mother , like a son.” She was dressed like a whore. Almost naked, with her sensitive parts outside for the work to see. She wore a very short skirt that only covered her bum and a low-neck crop top that revealed her boobs.Disgusting! I exclaimed inwardly.“Alex!” She thundered, pointing a gun at me. “Who do you think you are? Treating my son like a slave?” She glared at me. Her veins popping out like they are about to burst out.“What do you think you are doing?” I looked down at her, my anger rising. “Get your

Layla's POV I rolled to the side of the bed, expecting to touch Alex so he could wrap himself around me but it was empty. Instead I rolled on the floor, hitting my head on the damn floor. I stood up in shame with a hint of anger. “Where is he?” I said, looking around the room but he wasn't there. I decided to go check in his study room so he could explain why he left me alone in the room. I stepped out drowsily, dragging my feet towards his study room when I sighted a figure in the dark. I didn't bother putting on the light because I know my way around the house already having spent up to a year. I hid myself behind one of the pillars. Watching the figure closely. The silhouette is of a man, and I figured it could be Stephen. Why is he roaming suspiciously? I thought. I never liked him, but because he is Alex's cousin I had to put up with him. The way he stares at me like he could ounce on me gives me the creeps. He moved towards Alex's study room and I followed him gently

Alexander's POVAs we settled into our first-class seats, I felt a sense of excitement and luxury. We had the plane to ourselves, except for our personal air hostess, who greeted us with a warm smile. We sat facing each other, sipping our juice and enjoying the quiet intimacy of the moment. I had done my research earlier, and Cape Town was my best option for our vacation. But we had to endure a long journey of 26 hours and 30 minutes, with layovers. It won't be easy but I was ready to make the most of our time in the air, and enjoy every moment of our trip together.I glanced at her and I was pleased to see a smile on her face. She deserves every bit of happiness. And I'm going to make sure she is always happy.As the plane took off, I felt a rush of excitement. We chatted and laughed, enjoying each other's company, and the air hostess attended to our every need.

Layla's POVI was enjoying myself, admiring the black and white people as they mixed and talked together. I really want to talk to a black and hear their sweet accent once again.The lights flickered creating a creepy atmosphere.“We are so sorry for the disturbance, people. We will fix it now!” A masculine voice echoed through the microphone.Few minutes later, the lights became stable and I continued my admiration.I remembered when my mother brought me here. I met a young boy of my own age. His dark skin glistened and he was so handsome.I had promised him to come back here for him, but who am I kidding. He was such a sweet kid. We talked and became very close. His father was the photographer in my mother's crew at that time.Where could he be now? I wondered.I smiled, my face turning red as I thought of him.“What's so funny?” Alex whispered and I came back to myself immediately. It's just a crush, I told myself.“Nothing, babe. I just love these people.” I said, and just then a

Alexander's POV“Where do you think you're going, woman!” I slammed. Writhing with rage as I tightened my grip on her hand.Tears welled up in her eyes. “I was just going out for some fresh air.” She stammered.I dragged her back inside the room, slamming the door shut with my feet.“Don't tell me you want to go see that bastard!” I thundered, throwing her on the bed.“No,” she begged. “I couldn't sleep, that was why I decided to go out. I'm sorry, Alex.” She rubbed her palms apologetically, looking sober like a lost kitten.My heart softened. “I will put you to sleep, okay.” I said and she nodded her head, shivering in fear.She lay on the bed and I covered her with the duvet and lay beside her. Cradling her head against my chest, she shut her eyes as I patted her gently.Few minutes later, she dozed off, snoring gently as her breaths fanned my chest.How dare he lay his filthy hands on my wife! He will pay dearly for daring to covet my wife. I don't care if they were childhood swee
The Billionaire's Contract Wife Chapter 47
Layla's POVI'm now regretting my actions. How could I have been so foolish to think he would understand me?Alex clearly warned me not to leave the room, but I didn't listen.Immediately he left, I had my bath, put on my clothes and went downstairs in search of Damian.I must have been a fool to think we could talk it out like adults.I couldn't sleep well last night, his thoughts were coming to my mind. I truly felt bad for the way Alex treated him yesterday. It wasn't his fault anyway, it was I who made a foolish confession at a young age.Now I have been kidnapped and tied up in an abandoned house. I cried in pain, begging him to release me, but he turned dead ears to my plea. “If you truly love me, Damian, you won't treat me like this.” I cried as he stared at me.He spat on my face. “Don't tell me that! You left me, Layla and I waited patiently for you.”“Are you a fool?” I asked, my anger rising. “How could you trust the words of a little girl? I said them out of impulse. I ne
