The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife Your time start now!
Chapter seven. Ivery's POV. I woke up suddenly, my mind still fuzzy with sleep. As I became more aware of my surroundings. I quickly sat up, my heart racing, as the memories of the previous day came flooding back to me. The press conference, the argument with Franco. It was all too much to take in. I put my head in my hands, trying to make sense of it all.I lay in my bed again, trying to relax my mind, but I could not, as Franco's words were fresh in my head. I groaned tiredly. I stood up lazily as I stumbled to walk, I entered the bathroom to take my bath. In less than an hour I was through, and I opened my wardrobe to pick a creamy skirt that stopped at my knees and I wore a crop top that showed my cleavage a bit. I packed my hair, leaving two strands at the front, I was not the makeup type. I looked at myself one more time before stepping out of my room. Franco was standing at the coffee maker, preparing coffee for himself. His back view was facing me. “Good morning,” I gree
The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife Is he going to grant my wish?
Ivery's POV. I looked away, avoiding his gaze. " Yes, we have a deal," I replied in a low tune with a tinge of sadness, even though I don’t want to do this I have no choice but to agree to it. "That's good. Get prepared, your time starts now. Tick! Tock!" he sang as he walked out of the room. In less than thirty minutes, I was ready. My heart was pounding as I stood in front of the mirror, applying the last touch of makeup on my face. I have never worn this much makeup before. I was worried that I might look ridiculous. I turned to face the mirror, surveying my appearance. I was wearing a long black gown, a hat, and sunglasses. I barely recognized myself, I hoped that no one would recognize me either. As I stepped into the sitting room, I locked eyes with him. He scanned my body with his eyes, from my head to my toe, He smiled. "Perfect!" I heard him say. One could mistake it as a whisper. He grabbed his car key. Facing me he spoke," Let's go", he said, walking towards the door
The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife Finally he agreed
Ivery's POV. Franco's head snapped up as I approached, his eyes narrowing as he took in my expression. Our eyes met, and I felt a chill run down my spine as I saw the wariness in his eyes. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the worst. I walked toward Franco, my footsteps echoing in the empty hallway. My heart pounded in my chest as I tried to think of the right words. I could smell the faint scent of his breath. I cleared my throat, the sound reverberating off the walls. "Please," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I need your help. I need a maid for my mother. She needs someone to help her, and I don't know what else to do.""I can't grant you what you request," he said, with his gaze fixed on his lap. I could see the set of his shoulders, stiff and unyielding. He made no move to look at me, even though I was right in front of him. "Please," I begged, my voice cracking with emotion. "My mother needs someone to care for her, she's too weak to do it on her own." I tri
The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife Putting on a show
Ivery's POV. I blinked as I opened my eyes, I witnessed the sunrise, and I could feel the beaming ray of sunshine and positivity. The sun shone through the window, as I stretched my arms above my head. I stood up and walked over to the Window, I pulled back the curtains, revealing a stunning view of the mountains, I stood there for a moment taking it all in. It was a beautiful sight. The warm sun caressed my skin as if to welcome me to a new day. The sunlight danced on the grass, creating a kaleidoscope of colors that filled my eyes with wonder. I closed my eyes and tilted my head up to the sky, letting the sun's rays bathe my face in warmth. The air was still and quiet, and I felt a sense of peace wash over me. It was as if the world had stopped for a moment, and I was the only person left. My stomach growled, demanding attention. I stepped outside my room after I had brushed my teeth. As I stepped out, the smells of pancakes and coffee filled my nostrils, I could hear the sizz
The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife Sudden hardness
Ivery's POV. I kissed his cheeks, which made him glanced at me baffled. “The paparazzi,” I whispered to him. He quickly understood the message, as he put his arms around my waist and returned the kiss. My breath hitched at his movement. The camera flashed at our faces, capturing the moment. The sound of camera shutters was relentless, clicking like an army of crickets. The flash of the paparazzi's cameras was blinding, and our feet seemed to pound the pavement like a drumbeat. I felt the hot breath of the crowd on the back of my neck, and the warmth of Franco's arm around my waist. I smelled the scent of the city, the exhaust from the cars, and the sweet smell of food from a nearby cart.We walked arm-in-arm, as we tried to push our way through the crowd of photographers, but they pressed in closer, snapping pictures at every turn. I stumbled on my heels, feeling off-balance and unsteady. Franco's hand brushed against my waist, his breath hot against my neck. My heart quickened a
The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife Does he think I have feelings for him?
Ivery's POV. I felt a mix of emotions – comforted by his strength, yet uneasy at the sudden intimacy. We sat there, side by side, as we answered each question as best we could. "We are not planning on having kids now," Franco said. His words tumbled out of his mouth like a waterfall, rushing to get out before the timeout ran out. We got to our feet, keeping our composure as we made our way to the car. The reporters continued to shout questions at us, but we ignored them and kept walking. When we reached the car, we quickly got inside and shut the doors. As we closed the door behind us, I turned to face Franco. The silence felt heavy, like a blanket smothering us both. "What was that all about?" I asked, my voice trembling. But he raised a finger to his lips and hushed me. "Shh." His voice was barely a whisper. "The walls have ears." I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves.The rest of the journey passed in a tense, silent bubble. I gazed out the window, watching the lush
The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife At the meeting
Ivery's POV. I took a deep breath and tried to clear my head. I knew I was letting my hormones get the better of me. I had to stay sane and focused. I couldn't let myself get swept away by memories and emotions. I had to put those feelings aside and focus on my reality. I can't have feelings for Franco, Never. I couldn't let myself fall for him, no matter how much I wanted to. It was a fool's errand, a recipe for disaster. He was cruel and selfish, only thinking of himself. He would never be able to love me the way I needed to be loved. I couldn't let myself get swept up in his charm, no matter how tempting it was. I had to stay strong and resist the temptation.The stress of it all was giving me a headache. I needed a break, a moment to relax and clear my head. I closed my eyes, hoping that sleep would come and take me away from the turmoil of my thoughts. I slept off. Suddenly, I was jolted awake by a loud bang on the door. I sat bolt upright in bed, my heart racing. I could hea
The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife Ease dropping
Ivery's POV. I stood up, my anger rising to the surface. I had a first-class degree in business administration, and I wasn't about to let my voice be silenced. I cleared my throat and spoke up, my words ringing out with authority. "Hold on, a minute!” I interjected, my voice trembling with emotion. “I know you all have put a lot of time and effort into these plans, but there's something we're not considering. Have you considered the environmental impact of this project? I'm concerned that the construction will hurt the surrounding area, and I think we need to address that.”As I spoke, the room fell silent. The bright fluorescent lights overhead cast a harsh glare on my face, and I could feel everyone's eyes on me. My cheeks flushed with heat, and I could feel my heart racing in my chest. But even in the face of all that, I felt a surge of pride. I knew I had something important to say, and I was determined to make my voice heard. I felt Franco's gaze on me, and for a moment, I thou

Ivery’s POV.As I walked inside the room, I could hear voices and laughter coming from the living room. Franco was still attending to the guests, making sure everyone was comfortable and happy. I headed to the bathroom, closing the door behind me. The sound of the running water was soothing, and I took a moment to relax, enjoying the sensation of the warm water on my skin.I looked down at the ring on my finger, still in a bit of disbelief.

I looked at the door, waiting for the moment I would walk down the aisle.My mother, Cassy, and Owen, entered the room. "You look beautiful, my dear," my mother said, smiling at me.

I had to be strong.As I tried to calm myself, I felt a bead of sweat roll down my forehead. My hands trembled, and the room suddenly felt stiflingly hot. I looked up and my eyes met Franco's.

But I didn't know if I could face him right now, with everything I had just discovered.The silence was broken by a question from Franco. "How long did you plan on keeping this from me?" he asked, his voice low and calm. I didn't know what to say, so I remained silent. I looked at everything in the room but him
The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife What do you want to tell me
Ivery’s POV.“Ladies first,” he said with a sly smile. I nodded, taking a deep breath. I reached into my purse and pulled out my phone, my hands shaking slightly. I fumbled with the screen, unlocking it and opening the video gallery. There it was, the video of Diva in his penthouse trying to force him to sign the check. I held out the phone, my heart pounding in my chest.“Take a look,” I said, my voice trembling. He took the phone from me, a look of confusion on his face. He held it up to his eyes, staring at the screen. At first, he didn't seem to understand what he was looking at. Then, his eyes widened, his jaw dropping slightly. He looked up at me, his face pale. “What is this?” he asked, his voice barely a whisper. I took a deep breath, preparing to tell him everything. As I told him everything, I watched as his face twitched with anger. His brow furrowed, his jaw clenched. “How dare she try to do this,” he said, his voice filled with rage? “I need to deal with her.” His ha
The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife You go first
Ivery’s POV.Franco's behavior had been puzzling me for a while. He seemed to be acting differently, but I couldn't tell if I was just imagining things or if there was something actually going on. He had been spending more time with the kids, and sporadically they even slept over. Was I reading too much into it, or was there something more going on? I couldn't help but wonder if there was something I was missing, some hidden meaning that I just couldn't see.At first, I was afraid to let them sleep over. I didn't want them to accidentally spill the truth about me being their mother. But they had promised me that they wouldn't say anything, and I believed them. After all, they were mature for their age and I trusted them. Still, I couldn't help but worry about what would happen if they did accidentally reveal the truth. Would it ruin our relationship? Would everything fall apart?The truth felt like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment. I knew that the longer I kept it
The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife What’s wrong?
Franco’s POV.“You are the father,” the doctor said, his voice steady and matter-of-fact. I felt like the ground was falling out from under me. I quickly closed the door behind me, not wanting Ivery to overhear. “Let's go to your office,” I said, my voice trembling as I tried to keep my composure. We walked to the office, my heart pounding in my chest. I knew I was about to receive the biggest news of my life.The doctor closed the door, and I blurted out the question that had been burning in my mind. “Can you run a DNA test on Ivery?” I asked, my voice trembling. I knew it sounded foolish, but I needed to be certain. I needed to know the truth, regardless of what it was.“It's obvious that Ivery is the mother,” the doctor said. I nodded, my mind whirling with thoughts and questions. “When do you think the transplant was?” I asked, trying to put the pieces together. I wanted to understand what had happened, how I could be a father without even knowing it. I had to make sense of
The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife I asked the doctor
Franco’s POV.I stared at the report, my eyes scanning the words, but unable to make sense of it. The medical jargon was confusing and unfamiliar. I felt a sense of panic rising in my chest. “What's this?” I asked the doctor. “Your bone marrow matches with his,” he said, his voice calm and reassuring. But his words did nothing to ease my anxiety. I felt overwhelmed and confused.“How’s this possible?” I asked confused.“ Because you are the father of the child,” he said.I let out a sarcastic laugh. “How can I be the father of the child?” I asked incredulously. “Does this doctor understand how biology works?” My voice was tinged with anger and disbelief. It was impossible, I was sure of it. But the doctor looked at me calmly, and said, “I understand your skepticism, but there is no doubt that you are the father of this child. Your DNA matches perfectly.” I felt my world spinning, my mind reeling. How could this be?“Ivery told me that she wasn't the mother of the kids,” I said, my
