Andrew Pov

Terrible, that was what I felt when I woke up because of the annoying sun rays that had been able to escape from the curtain and hit my face directly.

I looked beside me to see a glass of water with a headache pill on the side table, mentally making a note to thank Catherine for doing this, I took the medicine.

Gulping the water down from the glass, I went through my morning routine. 

******

"Are you sure you wanna PA?" Noah asked. Well, this annoying man who would usually eat my mind from his blabbering and would make me want to punch his face was sadly my friend and a Ceo of a big company.

"Why can't I get one?" 

"You are working for five years and you never want a PA, why now?" He was curious, which meant he would not leave me until I would tell him what he wanted.

"There is a lot of work nowadays and it would be better to have someone who can do some of my work." My head was hurting like a bitch but I still focused on the paperwork that I was doing.

"Be careful." I nodded knowing why he was saying that.

After attending one last meeting for today I was ready to meet someone, I didn't know what to say or do but some questions have to be answered.

*****

Alyssa Pov

"What drink would you like sir?" I asked the four men who were sitting where I was serving today.

"Beer for all of us." Nodding, I turned around to take the drink they wanted. 

"Today, it's too busy here." Startled I looked toward the voice to see my friend looking at me.

"You gave me a heart attack Eva!" Laughing at me, she handed an envelope to me.

"Not with this again. How many of these have been given to me this week?" I raised a brow as she shrugged.

"Shouldn't be you like.....happy?" 

"Seriously, these....these sons of guns don't have enough courage to talk to me even. Who knows if they are one of those old men who come here. What angers me more is they don't wanna go on a date or something, but more like one-night thingy." Shaking my head I tore the envelope which would have a letter from some random guy asking for me to call them or some shit like that.

"Here is your order." Keeping the drinks in front of them I walked out of the bar for some fresh air as I was feeling suffocated in there.

****

"Aren't you lonely here?" A voice asked me from behind.

"No, I'm not and you better leave me alone." I was irritated that even outside the club I could not get some time alone, I took my mobile to see it was 10:30 pm only. Why could not time pass fastly?

*******

"What is it?" I asked Eva who was serving a guy.

"Nothing, but I know one thing, you are supposed to serve them." She smirked while I looked at the crowd which was mostly of girls in front of the bar.

"Umm.....What's going in here?" I muttered to myself. Girls were pushing each other to come near the bar, some were trying to talk to the guy who was sitting at the stool.

'Wait, why do I feel like I have seen him?'

"No, no....it can't be! Or is it him? Why I'm so anxious, could be that he wants to drink. Calm down, you don't know him." After thinking a lot I finally walked near them and asked the guy and other girls what drink would they like.

"I would like to talk to you in private." His voice was deep but soft.

"What do you want to talk about sir?" I looked around to see many girls glaring at me. What was the problem with these girls here? 

"Somewhere alone." He looked at me with his blue eyes.

'They are so pretty.' Shaking my head, I scolded myself.

'Dumbo just focus on your work.' 

"Umm, I'm working here. I can't leave just to talk to you." The reason for not going with him alone was that I didn't wanna be alone with him but my friend has a problem saying wrong things at bad times.

"I will take care of everything here, you can go." That sly cat, a smirk was as clear as a day on her face.

"Ah, I owe you." The pervert CEO said as he asked me to follow him. With a glare at Eva, I walked out of the club with him.

"What do you wanna talk about?" I raised a brow, wanting to be done as fast as I could be with this conversation.

"Did something happen yesterday?" His intense gaze was making it hard to look at him. Why was I feeling like this? Yeah, maybe I was going crazy.

"What d'you mean?" Even though I knew what he meant from the question I wanted to make sure.

"You were the one who served me last night so did anything happen when I got drunk?" Why was he so curious? Did he go around asking this from every girl with whom he spent the night?

"No." Fidgeting with my ring, I stood there not knowing where to look or what else to

say to him. God knew better why I was acting so different in front of him.

"Nothing?" Annoyed I looked at him.

"D'you want anything to happen between us?" 

"Ye- I mean no...no I was just asking." His cheeks were changing into crimson red.

"You're worrying about nothing, I gotta go." It wasn't good getting comfortable with him, who knew who he was? Oddly, I have met him two times but still didn't know his name.

********

"What!?" I snapped at Eva who was annoying me.

"Don't you dare to give me that look, I wanna know what happened there?" It would be the sixth or seventh time she had asked the same question. 

****

"You aren't telling me that you don't wanna talk to him again." After telling her everything this was what she said. 

"Why can't I say that?"

"Because he is a guy of every girl's dream. Girls would do anything for just a glance of his." I couldn't believe these girls, why did they have to be like this? 

"Is he prince or something?"

"Don't know about prince but he surely is a king of business and beauty."

"Who is he?" 

"You don't know him?" Overdramatic, that was what she was being.

"He is Andrew Michael Ford." I didn't know what to say, laugh at it or cry.

"Nice joke." 

"It's not a joke my friend." She was hella serious and I was questioning my existence. Did I just talk badly even scolded one of the richest men? I was so done for.

I did say my life was boring but dear God you took it seriously, I didn't want so much drama in it. Who knew what he would do?

    "Do I have to, Liam?" I asked the guy who was looking at me with a look which was shouting 'Yes' "But that dog sits anywhere and then doesn't walk for the next hour or so! He even barks at me! and shows his big teeth to me," I whined but not even a muscle of his face moved as he kept staring at me. Currently, I was doing my morning job which was at the animal shelter. Honestly, I like animals, but a certain dog, Max, a big black hairy and double my size animal was not liked by me. He would make me work double than I have to, I guess our feelings were mutual. Many animals have gone on a walk with me as Liam thought it was good to take them out for once in a while and I enjoyed doing it. But Max seemed to have a special hatred towards me as he would always make his place dirty so I have to clean it twice and last time when I took him for a stroll.......well it was the worst day ever. I had to stand in front of the garbage can for an hour because Max thought it

    Andrew Pov "Are you kidding, Father?" I spit the word father with such bitterness that it was impossible for anyone to not notice the hatred I have for this old man in front of me. "Don't you dare to raise your voice at me and this is my last time telling you this, do it or face the consequences." The man in a suit with salt and pepper hair was looking at me with his eyes that were showing how much he hated me too. "This company ain't yours then how can you say you will give it that so-called brother of mine!" I was the one who brought this company to where it was now, he couldn't just take it from me. "I'm your father and if you have forgotten then just to remind you this company is as much as yours as it is mine." He said, on which I rolled my eyes. He wouldn't even help in anything and still, he was also the owner of it. "I'm ignoring your bad manners, for now, find a girl or marry the girl I want. Otherwise, say bye to your company." He wa

    Alyssa Pov With a sigh, I sat on the sofa. The decision was hard but was it right? I went to the kitchen to see my small sister eating her food made by me. "How is it?" "Okay." I shook my head in disappointment, on which she gave me a sweet smile and hugged me. "It's the best I ever had and you're a great sister." A smile touched my lips, it was good to hear about how much my sis loves me and my food. The vibration of my mobile caused me to look at it and I saw a message from Liam. What did this man want from me now? 'Can you meet me at our usual place?' The message said. with a short 'ok' reply I ran to my room. After changing my dress, keeping the club uniform in a bag, I went downstairs and told my sister that I was leaving. She complained that she also wanted to see Liam because my sister has a big ass crush on Liam and I would like them to date but the male would never say anything about it.

    Enormous, that was what Andrew's house was. 'How does he live all alone here?' I would get lost in this big house alone and of course, it would be so lonely here. Following the male, I walked still in shock after seeing the beauty of the house. The heavy bridal dress and Andrew's big steps weren't helping me with walking though. "Can you slow down?" I finally said stopping for a while. The expensive and elegant dress was given to me by him. It was quite a surprise when in the morning bell rigged and some people walked inside. One had a dress, others had shoes and jewelry. A makeup artist was also sent and when I texted him (as he had given me his number a day before that day) he just replied with 'do not worry about it too much, and get ready.' Like what? Anyway, I didn't say anything else. Looking up from my dress I saw Andrew staring at me and waiting patiently. "Uh, ...I zoned out." My cheeks heat

  • The CEO (Contract Marriage)   7. Not Special

    Alyssa Pov "Ah, where are you going?" Andrew asked with confusion. "To work, I have to walk as we can't let anyone know that you know me or something. Also, I don't know how to drive a car." I answered his unasked questions too. "Come, you're going with me." Without even giving me a chance to say something he sat in the car. Odd, but he was driving the car himself not asking some driver to drive it. I was about to take a seat at the backside but his one look and I knew he wanted me to sit beside him. After settling down in the front seat, I looked out of the window without a word. 'Phew, he can be scary sometimes.' Who knew I would be in a car with my husband.....it felt odd to say that. I never thought I would marry someone because of money, sounded like a gold digger thingy, but didn't I marry him because of his wealth? 'Don't be stupid, you needed the cash because of your mother.' Maybe my conscie

    I didn't know my life could be more worst than it already was until I started working for Andrew. He gave me piles and piles to check like I was a robot who would do everything without a stop. Even at lunchtime, I have to sit here and keep on doing work. Not only this, he would drag me to every meeting even if he was going to meet some girl who has been disturbing him, he would want me to accompany him because he wanted me to annoy them. It has been hell, whole last week. But today I asked that idiot to do some work himself cause I was going to the hospital for my mother's treatment. ********* "Ma'am to whom do you want to meet?" I looked up to see Emma asking a beautiful lady. Her long blond hair was opened and her red dress was fitting her perfectly. "I wanna see Andrew." She said in a high-pitched voice. "I'm sorry but you can't see him now, he is busy," Emma said but the girl ignored her as she walked near his r

    I removed the strand of my hair from my face that was annoying me while reading the document. The whole floor was empty as everyone was gone for lunch except me and the jerk of a boss whose mood would change within a second. The strand was once again coming into my eyes creating a problem for me as I couldn't properly concentrate on the document I was checking. Just when I was about to move it, someone tucked it behind my ears. Sense of Deja vú washed over me but the difference was that it was Noah, not Andrew. "Why are you working at lunchtime, hmm?" He faced me with his hands in the pocket as his lower body was supported by my desk. "Because your friend in there had given me a ton of work while he sat in there easily." I burst out angrily, it felt good to let it out. Andrew had not only made my life hard in the office but at the home too, he would always find a way to tease or annoy me. The only good thing that was happening in my li

    Alyssa Pov "So you mean to say Andrew caused a big scene?" I asked Eva. Yesterday both of us thought to meet somewhere as today was Sunday and both of us were free. I thought everyone enjoy their Sunday, spent the day with family and friends but well now I knew not everybody would do that. Andrew went to the office because he has to complete some work and one of the maids told me that he was always like this. A workaholic. "Nah, just threatened the club owner to let you resign, that man was so adamant about keeping you." Resign? I didn't want to leave my job but anyway I let it slide, couldn't fight with him on this. "D'you know something unusual happened yesterday?" She asked and I furrowed my brows while saying 'no'. "Noah, the friend of the handsome husband of yours." I shushed her, why was she talking so loudly? The marriage thing just slipped out of my mouth but did my friend have to make more scenes than she already had. "He talk

    I unintentionally scowled while my mind went wild thinking about who this guy was, in a long black hoodie with his face covered and the baggy trousers were touching his black worn-out shoes. 'Is he a thief? Or is he a shabby-looking bodyguard of Andrew that's why the other two aren't paying much attention to him?' "What's with that face of yours? That man is no one you should pay attention to." Adrian said still not telling me who it was. Licking my lips I thought for a while, my eyes staring at the videos ahead of me before I signed. Maybe I should not think too much. Slumping back on the chair I stared around. Only three chairs were placed in this room, from which one was empty right now. The white walls were clean and empty... Just like my life, that was what came to my mind but I shook my head. I was happy now, but if this whole event didn't go well, then I didn't know what would happen. I roamed my eyes around to

    "Are you all fine with this plan?" I asked nervously because now when it was the day to put that idea into action I was hesitating, what if this plan was not good enough? What if she was already preparing for this? What if she knew about our intention behind calling her here? Many and many questions arose in my mind as I sat to think about 'how this night will come to an end?' "Come on, be a little sure of yourself. Everything will be fine." Noah as always cheered me up as I nodded. Even when Andrew didn't like Adrian, he was part of our plan and so the four of us were discussing one last time how things should go. "But why do Alyssa have to go with that man." Even after all the videos and conclusion, that the other guy was not at fault my spouse still didn't seem to be okay with him. I would say the same about me cause the hatred I had for Adrian for so many years couldn't just go within some days. It would take time for me to be okay with him. "Because they both are needed for t

  • The CEO (Contract Marriage)   98. Blank Like The White Walls Of Room

    It looked unreal or something that was just said because for me it could never happen. Sometimes I wondered 'if that's true?' or 'could it occur in real life?' Because I did not believe in love or having someone you would want to spend your whole life with, without any thought of being bored with them; two people being together for their whole life was something I had lost my belief from. But then Andrew came, making me think all of my thoughts were wrong. He showed me how someone could love each other more than themselves when months ago they were just two strangers. He taught me that not everyone was the other's soul mate but every person did have a soulmate, he or she just hadn't found the right one that was why they were alone. When the right time would come the two people, who were right for each other, would meet. One of my old thoughts that changed now was that I thought no one could understand what other person was feeling, tone couldn't describe their emotion. But well

    Blink, blink, blink. Rubbing my eyes I stared inside the Cafe, some people gave me a look as to why I was staring at the eatery like that but I ignored them. People do nothing other than make their wrong assumptions and think bad about others. Maybe my husband taught me one nice thing which was to not care about others' thoughts, they might never be able to understand you or your situation. "Wow, I can't believe I'm seeing this," I muttered but then a question formed in my mind. 'Won't that female will know about this? Someone might have already told her about my and Adrian's meet-up. And now these two.' But then there was one more thing, it didn't matter to her. All she wanted was to break down my husband and separate us. That wouldn't be happening but we could act like that. The bell on the door pinged as I entered inside and walked straight for ordering something first. After placing the order I turned back to see the two guys who I wanted to talk to were glancing at me. Ro

    Confusing, frustrating, with no end or any idea of where to go. This was all I could say about the situation I was in. Staying away from my husband while having no work to relax me, yeah relax because now that I think by checking files and documents given by Andrew I would always be able to let myself forget about other problems, made my mind full of thoughts about Bonnie, Adrian and what was the truth? The cherry on the top, I had to move around with my face hidden behind a mask or hoodie, why? Cause just some days ago my shoulders were grazed by a bullet and later that day some men tried to kidnap me but thankfully I was able to run away. Didn't know who was behind this or why all this was happening but one thing was clear, which was to not walk around while showing my face. It was better to be like this, hidden in baggy clothes. Ding! The door opened and I exit the elevator, looking straight ahead of me I was opting for the main gate of the hotel when I heard a voice calling

    The long hoodie, that reached my thighs, and the baggy trousers were something I was comfortable in. Walking out of the big building with my face covered and some curious glances following me, I sat in the cab. I was busy texting some people who were quite good at getting information that might be hidden and couldn't be ever found. Andrew had made me meet them when he wanted to get some information about one of his soon-to-business partners, whose name I didn't remember. This time I was asking for their help in getting to know about Bonnie. Wanted to get out of my problematic life for a while I came to a park where I felt at peace. The cool breeze and green trees were something that was helping my mind to relax. A sigh escaped my mouth as I closed my eyes, I couldn't sleep for the last two days knowing my husband would be worried about me. Today I switched on my mobile and had above fifty messages and one hundred and three missed calls all from one person, my spouse. "I'm so sorry,

    Alyssa Pov (A day before Andrew came back) "Can't you stop huh!? Is it necessary for you to create a problem every day?" Some might think I have lost my mind while others would say I never had one, but I did and everyone has different ways of using it. Right now I couldn't think of anything else but to be here and face that male. "Wow, what a day! Alyssa has come to me without me asking for it. How come I'm blessed with your face today?" Inhaling slowly before exhaling I tried to calm myself. How could he joke and laugh like this? Well, maybe he could cause he never cared about others' feelings. "I'm serious here, what do you get from threatening and joking about things that are precious to others. You got a problem with me, with Andrew, okay, we will face you but why!? Why drag my friend and Michelle in this! He is your father too, for God's sake! Can't you just let him out of this hatred web in which you and my husband are?" I frowned as the male stared at me without a word.

    Andrew pov I was happy, a big smile that was spread across my face wouldn't go away even when my cheeks were hurting because of smiling too much. But how couldn't I smile? I was gonna meet my wife, my love, without her one day felt like a month. She laughed yesterday when I was saying pick up lines here and there while talking to her but nothing I said was a joke. She did look hotter than any other day in her night suit. Stopping myself from skipping my way towards the plane, like a happy child who was on his way to the candy shop, I did a handshake from the guy who had helped me from yesterday till now before calmly walking ahead. Even when my inside was anything but calm. ***** Not going to the office for looking after some work that had to be done today, as work can wait, I went home.

    When black clouds had ruled the sky and the small light that was showing the way was being taken away, anyone would be afraid to let that light disappear. A sensible person would be afraid to be lost without the light and the darkness wasn't a good thing to be lost in. But here I was worried about my light and what would happen with it? My husband who had always been the one saving me was going to some other city because of a business meeting and I was hella worried about him, his safety. The conversation I last had with Adrian was making me shitting bricks. "Is it necessary for you to go?" I questioned as he made me sit with him on the couch. "You see it's an important work that had to be done. And even when I don't want to leave you here I can't take you with me because you have to look after some work here. The stepbrother of mine won't let go of a chance like this to create a problem for my company and me." I sighed understanding him while keeping my head on his shoulder as he
