The Billionaire's Revengeful Contract Marriage CHAPTER 33
CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE~NORA~ The young man was quite the joker. He kept cracking jokes and teasing me in a friendly way, and I found myself laughing along with him. At one point, he even winked at me, and I had to fight the urge to blush. But despite his playfulness, I could tell that there was something more to him.As we chatted, my kids were watching us. I saw their curious expressions, but they stayed silent. I wondered what they were thinking about this new person who looked really like Aiden. At some point, I began to wonder if it was Aiden who was playing games with our minds. But, the maids acted as though they knew him from the unset. Yet, it was still possible that he had bribed them even before she came back from the coffee shop. Was this some kind of payment or revenge for leaving?"So, I hear you're an excellent cook. I've heard that your soufflé is to die for," He teased me and watched as I burst into laughter, my eyes crinkling at the corners. "You're such a goofball.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR~AIDEN~"And you thought it was nice to keep it from me, right? Aiden, we are married for god's sake!"Nora had been scolding me for the past one hour. It was funny that I just stood there like a log of wood, watching her speechlessly. Her voice filled the room, and I could tell that she was angry. Ethan stood behind us, watching the drama unfold. I wished I could send him away because his presence irritated me. "Aiden, I know you can hear me. I am sure you are not deaf. Why didn't you tell me you have a brother? A twin, for that matter?" She scolded further. I was frozen in place, unable to speak as Nora's words hung in the air. I had never told her about my twin brother, and now I was being called out on it. I felt a mix of shame and anger, knowing that I had been caught in a lie of omission. Ethan's presence was like a knife by my side, a reminder of the secret I had kept from Nora. I struggled to find the words to explain myself, but nothing came to mind.I d

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE~ NORA ` As I stormed out of the corridor, I was still fuming from our argument. I needed some time to cool off, and I headed to the living room to get some space. But as I opened the door, I was greeted by an unexpected sight - my kids were playing with Ethan! They were laughing and having a great time, and I couldn't help but feel conflicted. Their laughter brought Joy to a part of me. But, a part of me remained angry about what Aiden had said. It meant so much disrespect to me, and I wouldn't let it slide, just like that. I wanted to just return to my room and have some rest, but their conversations wouldn't let me. I was tempted to eavesdrop on them for reasons I do not know. "Mr. Ethan, what's your favorite color?" Archie asked, his big eyes staring up at Ethan with adoration. "Blue," Ethan replied with a smile. "Blue is a great color," Archie said thoughtfully. "It's the color of the sky, and the ocean, and my favorite toy, a blue ball." "Wow, you're qu

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIXAIDENEthan and I entered my room. I sat down on my bed immediately. I got in, while Ethan sat on the couch by my bedside. I turned around to face him, and then I cleared my throat. My eyes fixed on him."So, what brings you here, brother?" I asked, my voice wary. I knew that Ethan wasn't one to just show up without a reason. I knew for a fact that Ethan had ulterior motives, being the reason he decided to show up at my place. "Can't I just come to visit my twin?" Ethan replied, a smile playing on his lips. "Sure, but we both know that's not the real reason," I said, crossing his arms. "Fine, you've got me," Ethan said, his expression turning serious. "There's something I need to talk to you about." I sighed, bracing myself for whatever Ethan had to say."I am here to watch your back and help you in anchoring the family's company. You know, it's been a while, and you need me by your side?"A frown formed on my face. Is that what he wanted to talk to me about?

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN NORAI sat at my desk, staring intently at the financial records in front of me. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. There were too many inconsistencies, too many numbers that didn't add up. I felt a pit of anxiety in my stomach, and I knew I had to get to the bottom of this. I furrowed my brow as I examined the records again and again. It was becoming clear that something was amiss. At regular intervals, large sums of money were disappearing, unaccounted for. They should have been recorded in the financial records and bank statements, but there was no trace of them. I felt a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. Something fishy was going on, and I needed to find out what it was. But how? Allison had bitten more than she could chew. She was aware of the huge sums that had disappeared from here. I was certain that she had a hand in whatever it was that was stealing money from the company. And, I was ready to get to the root of the matter n

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT ~ALLISON ~I sat at my desk in my office. I was feeling tired, restless, and frustrated. I found myself hissing at every single second that passed by. I just couldn't help it cause I was no longer in control of myself. I wished I knew the reason for my frustration, but I didn't.I opened a particular document more than three times and still ended up doing nothing about it. I closed the document finally, hissed loudly, and placed it back in the drawer. This continued for a while. I picked up my telephone and placed a call to the financial manager, and he picked up the call without any delay. "Hello," his voice sounded from the other end of the phone. "I need the company's record in my office right away," I said, with a stern and commanding tone. "Yes ma," I heard him say, "Then I hung up immediately." I was sure he got my message already, so why wait further?I relaxed on my chair and gritted my teeth continuously for a very long time. Then, my mind quickly fl

CHAPTER'S THIRTY _ NINE~NORA~I lay in my bed, as I rolled around restlessly. It was morning, but I couldn't stand up from my bed. I wasn't sure what the time was, but I knew it was morning because my 5 a.m. alarm rang a very long time ago. I had to switch it off and return to bed. Maybe I was feeling down because of the very terrible dream I had. Maybe not. I tried to wrap my head around the reason for my unusual uneasiness. I couldn't even remember the dream that got me up panting, and almost screaming my throat out. Thank goodness, I controlled the urge. I couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. "Yes?" I asked, forcing my words pit of my mouth. Yeah, I was that tired. It was difficult for me to speak as well."Ma'am, breakfast is ready," I heard the cook announce. "What?" I shouted as I jumped out of bed. I went straight to my window and opened the curtains. The day was so bright outside, but I didn't notice because the li

CHAPTER FORTY ~NORA~I was still panicking, as my eyes were fixed on the phone that was ringing in front of me. I didn't know what to do, or the next step to take. "Mom, your phone is ringing, " Aria informed me. I turned to her with a smile and picked up the phone from the table. "Who is calling you so desperately, so early in the morning?" Aria asked me. It was then it dawned on me that I had missed the first call and the phone was ringing for the second time. I ignored her and made to leave with my phone, but Ethan held my hand, so I stopped moving against my wish. "What do you want?" I asked. It was difficult for me to hold in Al my anger, but I tried my best to do so. Ethan was a pain in my neck, I wouldn't lie. I swallowed I'm my anger and remained still as my phone continued to ring. "Who is calling you so desperately? Isn't it too early?" He asked me. "Why does that have to be your problem? Do I go around monitoring who calls you and who doesn't?" I fired at him. "Y

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THREE ~NARRATOR~Allison began to explain how Harry had been using her from the unset. He had used her also to acquire land and began to build a company. The company was under her name, but it was only a cover-up. She had thought it was hers the whole time, but it was all a lie. "I think the only way Harry knew where we were was because he had a trusted servant among my men. He was a very faithful one who listened in on our conversation and went to tell him."Nora was dumbstruck. She couldn't believe Harry had been trying to erase her family name. Someone she once loved and trusted. Allison went on her knees and crawled towards Nora. She placed her hand on Nora's thigh, and Nora shifted uncomfortably although Allison's hands remained there. "Please, forgive me," she begged. "I swear, it was all greed and the quest for power. I am so sorry that I wronged you because of a man. You are my sister, Nora."Nora began to remember her mother's words in the book she

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWONORAAiden took advantage of the situation. Since the car had blocked the gunmen. He tried to start the car, and the car started this time. He zoomed off, and Edmund's driver followed after us. It was a close call, but they managed to escape. I kept breathing hard and wouldn't stop cursing Allison. Aiden found a spot to do a tricky u_turn. Edmund's driver followed behind us. Soon, they lost us. I turned around and when I realized they were gone, I let out a huge sigh. "That was close," I told Aiden. He simply nodded in agreement. I wondered what would have become of us if we had been caught. I was grateful that we hadn't been caught. We soon got home and met Edmund at home. We narrated everything that happened to him immediately after we dropped down the car. I did the talking. I wouldn't stop blaming Allison. Her name was all over my lips while I spoke. "Thank God you were able to escape," Edmund said. Soon, we were all seated in the sitting room at

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ONENARRATOREveryone was present, including Edmund, his driver, and the old detective. They were all present at Aiden's mansion. They weren't taking any chances and that was why Nora had called the whole team. The location of the meeting place had been sent to Aiden and they all planned to allow Nora to go with him. At first, Edmund had been against the idea, saying it would be having Allison's two fishes in one net but Nora had told him she had to go with Aiden in case Allison wanted to trick him with some information he wasn't aware of. But it wasn't just the both of them going, the old detective and the driver were to come with but they would stay in their vehicle and hide somewhere nearby. Edmund would stay to guard the mansion. At that point, Aiden didn't trust anyone anymore. Aiden and Nora got into Aiden's car while Aiden took the stirring. The old detective rode with Edmund's driver in another car. After a very long drive, they finally arrived at the

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AIDENI walked into the living room where my father had been ushered in by the maids. I and Ethan walked together, and soon, we were all seated around the dining table. Father didn't smile for a second. I knew what was going through his mind. He must think that I had failed him, and truly I had. We were all quiet for some seconds before Ethan broke the silence. "So the company..."He was saying, but Father cleared his throat and continued. "Yes, the company," Father said and eyed me. He took his gaze to Ethan, and a little smile appeared on his face. "Thank you so much for telling me. It was the right thing to do," he appreciated. "You did well, my son."Ethan nodded with a smile. I rolled my eyes at them. I was sure that Ethan was enjoying the glory of stabbing me in the back. Father was all over him, singing his praises for telling him the truth. He had gone to tell Father, thereby making me look like the bad guy. Father turned to face me. A big frown appe

CHAPTER NINETY-NINE AIDENI was scared of getting into a fight with my father while I was driving. Still, I went ahead to pick up the call, deciding to give him the benefit of the doubt. I picked up the call and placed my phone close to my ear."Hello, Dad," I managed to say, and it ended up as a whisper. It was then that I realized that I had lost my voice. "I will be in your mansion, in thirty minutes, son," he informed make. "Make sure that you avail yourself at home and drop everything else."With my dad hung up. I was furious. I slowly took the phone away from my ear and placed it back by my side. I gritted my teeth and tightened my grip on the stirring. How did my father get to know about the loss of the company? I asked myself different questions. I knew I had ordered the former staff not to say anything to my father. Who must have told him? Was it possible that they could betray me because they no longer worked for me? While I thought about these things, my mind suddenl

CHAPTER Nineth EightNORA I and Aiden sat next to each other in the waiting room, both lost in our thoughts. My mind was going through all the things that had happened for the last five years. All those times –running from one shelter to another with my kids– it was Aiden, their father. It was a lot to take in for me. I just couldn't believe it. I also thought about the possibilities if me and Aiden had been together and I hadn't run away to New York. All those years of suffering and struggling wouldn't be part of my story. I wanted to cry but I pushed it away. I wondered what Aiden was thinking but I couldn't read minds. Well, I wished that I could. For minutes, there was silence between both of us until a nurse came with Aria. She had been treated and was as good as new, all leaping and beaming with smiles. I looked at her warmly and still couldn't believe that I hadn't noticed the resemblance between her and Aiden. I was just seeing it at the moment."Here you go," the nurse sai

CHAPTER Nineth SEVENNORAI blinked thrice in confusion. I couldn't believe what Aiden was saying. "This isn't possible. It must be a trap," I told Aiden. I didn't trust Allison one bit. I was sure she was up to some mischief. I didn't know what it was, but I knew Allison wouldn't just give back to the company. I just wished I could place a finger on what it was that Allison was trying to do. "This must be some kind of... some kind of...." I stuttered.I was still trying to look for the right word to use when Aiden took the words from my mouth. "Some kind of trick, right?""Exactly!" I agreed. "She's probably trying to trick you, then trap you down when you fall into her hands. I don't want you to fall prey. "Aiden chuckled. "You know, I didn't think Allison was a saint. I don't trust her either," Aiden said. "But, if this was a trick. Why would she go all the way to call me herself?"I thought about it for a moment. I wasn't buying it one bit. There must be an explanation for ev

CHAPTER NINETY-SIXNORAI noticed Aiden was walking down the stairs. I was staring at him lost for a few seconds until I heard his voice. I quickly took my gaze from him and shifted it to the floor. He started by clearing his throat. "What is going on here?" He asked. "Archie injured Aria's arm," the maid replied plainly. I didn't even notice her walk into the sitting room. I watched Aiden as he moved his eyes from the maid to the floor. He stared at Aria's blood, which was spilled all over the floor for a while. Then, he lifted his head to look at me. There was a questioning look on his face.I couldn't tell what the look was for. So, I just shifted uncomfortably on my spot. He turned back to face the maid."Where is she?" Aiden asked. "She's with the nanny," the maid replied. "Why didn't anyone go with her to the hospital?" Aiden asked. I and the maid exchanged confused glances. No one said they were at the hospital, so why was he asking about the hospital?"She is with the

CHAPTER NINETY-FIVE ALLISON I and Harry sat quietly in the vehicle. We were seated behind the vehicle while the driver took the stirring. Harry's eyes were fixed on me the whole time. Although, he wasn't staring directly at me. His eyes were fixed on the front mirror, which reflected my face. I could see him through the corner of my eyes, and it made me uncomfortable that he was staring at me so much. I decided to ignore it still. I didn't want to ask him what the matter was. Even though I was tempted to. The drive was boring and the most awkward one I've ever experienced. When we finally got to the mansion, I let out a deep sigh. Harry alighted from the car when the driver opened the door for him. I hesitated for a while before following him behind. When my leg touched the ground, I felt cold shivers run down my spine. Harry didn't say a word to me. He just turned to me with a cold glare.I didn't need him to tell me the meaning of the glare. I was acting sluggish and cold, an
