The Billionaire's Weakness Chapter Nine
The billionaire’s arrival was met with a mixture of curiosity and awe as he strode into the bustling hospital. His tailored suit and confident demeanor commanded attention, and the staff couldn’t help but stare. Dr. Ava Affleck, however, was oblivious to the commotion. She was too focused on her work, intently studying the patient's chart in front of her. “Ava,” a soft voice called out, “You have a visitor.” Ava looked up to see her colleague, Dr. Lee, hovering in the doorway. “Who is it?” Ava asked, a hint of annoyance creeping into her voice. She was in the middle of a critical case and didn’t have time for distractions. Dr. Lee hesitated before responding, “It’s your… husband.” Ava’s eyes narrowed, her grip on the chart tightening. She hadn’t expected James to show up here, especially not in the middle of her shift. They had an arrangement, a contract marriage that benefited them both. James needed a respectable wife to accompany him to high-society events, and Sophia nee

AVA’S POV I fought back tears as I watched my carefree boyfriend casually throw the food I had prepared for him across the room. The plate crashed onto the rug. Stains of seasoned potatoes smeared upon the worn out rug. I remained forcefully calm, remembering that he made a significant contribution to my survival. “Go and make another bowl of porridge. Make it better this time. “He said without shifting his gaze from the PlayStation console. I paused. My heart broke into a thousand pieces as the man I onced loved—who once loved me and could do anything for me, disregarded me. “The remaining potatoes are ba—” “I won’t repeat myself again. “He cut me off. He spoke to me in a tone which most of the time if isn’t followed and obeyed, would result into punches and hard pushes. “We are out of potatoes. I’ll just make macaroni casserole instead.” My heart skipped a couple of beats. Brandon threw the dual-shock wireless controller over the rug in frustration. He abruptly stood up, t

JAMES POV I stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows of my penthouse apartment, glazing out at the Simville skyline. The city’s vibrant energy seemed to mock me, a striking contrast to the blunt news I’d just received. “Two years, Mr. Valquez.” My doctor had said, his voice laced with empathy. ”That’s the best estimate for your condition.” The words echoed in my mind like a death sentence. My thoughts shifted to Atlas incorporation, the company I had built from scratch. Who would inherit it? My sister Emma, was incapable of managing the companies complexities. I needed a spouse. Not just anyone, but someone who could provide a healthy, intelligent and capable heir. I turned to face my trusted advisor, Rodri who stood by the door. “Find me a wife, Rodri. Someone suitable.” His expression remained neutral, but I detected a hint of surprise. “Sir, I’ll arrange for a discreet search. However, may I remind you that finding someone who meets your requirements won’t be easy.”

AVA'S POV I lay on the hospital bed, surrounded by sterile white walls and the steady beep of machines monitoring my vital signs. My mind raced with thoughts of James Valquez's proposal. Marry him for two years, and he’d cover my medical expenses. Refuse, and he’d cut me off, leaving me drowning in debt. My gaze drifted to the stack of receipts of the hospital bills, paid by James, on my bedside table. My financial struggles were no secret, but how did Ryan know? I recalled my previous conversation with him: “You owe me, Ava. Your medical bills are substantial. Refuse, and I’ll cut your treatment. I’ll make sure you struggle financially for the rest of your life.” “I know about your debt, Ava,” James had added, his voice low and menacing. “I know about your struggling paramedic job, your overdue rent. You need me.” My skin crawled. How did he dig up such personal information? I thought back to our first meeting. James had seemed charming, but now i saw him for

AVA'S POV I rolled my eyes around the ward as I woke up to the sound of soft rustling of the white sheets, tangled around my legs. The sterile scent of antiseptic filled the air, a reminder of the accident that I had endured and the decision that had led to this moment. James. Mr. Follow-My-Desires. I rolled my eyes as thoughts of his dominating aura resurfaced through my mind. Although I’ve fully recovered, my mind raced as my thoughts tangled in series of doubts and decisions that had been unknowingly made for me. Yesterday, I had agreed to marry James Valquez, the cold hearted billionaire who had offered me an escape from a life of debt and uncertainty. Despite his cold and agonizing presence, his facial appearance, encompassed with dark blue eyes, a slim-built but perfect shape nose and rosy pink lips made my mind skip multiple beats. Reminded of this, I briefly thought about Brandon, his whereabouts-If he’s still alive. A strange wave of reality encapped me, kn

Ava’s POV “Ava! Are you sure that’s her name? Ava!? Hello?!” I abruptly jolted back to reality as I noticed my assigned nurse standing beside a middle aged man, probably on his forties, holding an expensive-looking briefcase.”Ava, here’s Mr. Patrick, James lawyer.” The nurse explained. “Good morning, my name’s Mr. Patrick bob, and I’m here to—” “Issue the contracts addendum and contract clause? Yeah, already aware. Hurry with the document let me sign. I’m honestly not in the mood to argue, negotiate or listen to some terms and conditions.” I blankly said, reacting with emotions in relation to my past. The lawyer and nurse Rachel looked at me in astonishment, the shock more on the lawyer’s face. “ Okay… I guess you’re already familiar with the contract term and the obligations you—” “Contract. Now. I’m the contract partner, not you. Don’t delay me, Mr. Patrick.” I said, with no hint of humor. “Sorry my apologies, Here’s the contract clause assigned to you, Mrs.…” he sai

JAMES POV "Shall we retire to our quarters wife?" I asked, calmly. I watched as her expression changed as she yanked her hand off my grip. "Our!? What makes you think I'll sleep in the same room as you?" She scowled. "Page sixteen, sub-section four. You agreed to sleep in the same place and your approval of your intimacy was given." I started, noticing the unawareness in her eyes. "Don't tell me you didn't read that contact; because...." I started, motioning closer to where she sat. "How else am I going to ease my stress after a long day?" I said, whispering into her left ear as her eyes glittered. "Get of me..." she said, pushing me aggressively. I abruptly reach for her neck. Holding it firmly, I pulled her closer to me. "You don't get to disobey me. You have no idea what I can do to harm you." I said, tightening my grip on her neck. "You're not the first to tell me that also, you're to late, I don't care." She replied, in a series of gasp. "James, we have a—" My g

AVA'S POV “Avaaaaaaa!!” I heard distance away. “Avaaaaaaa” The commanding call cried out again. “What does he want from me this time?” I said, dropping the paramedic uniform I was ironing, in the exquisite and well furnished laundry room. Stepping out of the alley was an angry looking CEO, staring hard at me. “Good morning,” James voiced, emotionlessly. “Morning to you, also.” I replied. “Where’s my breakfast?” He snapped, his tone impatient. “And why hasn’t clementine been fed or groomed? It’s shouldn’t be the maids to do those works, now that I have you as a wife.” I adjusted my bracelets readily in chaos, while crossing my arm.”First of all, I’m not your personal chef or nanny. Secondly, if you care so much about your pet or animal, perhaps you should feed it by your self, instead of barking orders at me like a tyrant.” I froze, watching his expression turn sour. “Excuse you? But I can’t do that. Why do you think I have over Sixty maids in this mansion?” “The

JAMES'S POV The rain pelted down relentlessly, turning the city streets into glistening rivers under the harsh glare of the streetlights. A familiar figure shivered in the distance, pulling her thin coat tighter around herself. It was futile; the rain had already soaked her to the skin. The drenched figure glanced down the empty road, hoping for some sign of humanity. I observed her reaction as the low, familiar rumble of my Lamborghini Urus SUV approaching from behind. I approach her as my car decreased it’s acceleration. I watched as she turned back, her eyes portraying a glimpse of hope and dread. She turned as my luxury vehicle rolled closer, its headlights cutting through the rain like a blade. The car slowed to a crawl as it approached her, teasing her with the possibility of salvation. I sat inside with a cool detachment, the evening light portraying my facial features illuminated by the dashboard's glow. The warmth of the car’s interior was almost palpable, a stark con
