2021-08-19 04:21:00Putting the stray hair behind my ears I walked out of the washroom. My mouth felt bad because of vomiting.
As weird as it would sound it was true that I was looking pale yet somehow beautiful. Anyway, moving towards the table where I was sitting, I saw Andrew pacing back and forth in front of the table.
Just when his eyes landed on me he came running towards me. Keeping one hand around my waist and another one on the back of my head he asked.
"Are you okay?" His eyes were clearly showing how worried he was. What was up with him? Why was he so caring?
"I'm fine, no need to worry about me." Pushing him a little away because not only many eyes were on us but my heart was fluttering because he was too near.
Again, why was my heart behaving so odd? Why did it have to beat fast?
"First you act weird, then suddenly ran away while still crying. What d'you think I should do? huh?" I didn't know what to say so I just ignored him while taki

The CEO (Contract Marriage) 24. Hide
We stepped inside the hospital just to jump back out, I looked at my friend with a raised brow. "Who are you running from?" I asked as she smiled nervously, peeking inside the building from the glass door. "From the devil, my boss, and your husband's friend." Her face was showing how much she hated the guy yet somehow enjoys his presence, that I knew. "Well, what should we do now?" She said while glancing from time to time, the two males were not far away from the exit in front of which we were standing. "We should hide, when they will be gone we can go inside." Agreeing with me, my friend walked towards the corner where we couldn't be seen. "Thank God, we're saved, my friend." Eva sighed, rolling my eyes at the dramatic friend of mine both of us strolled inside. "But why were you hiding? hmm?" I stared ahead while questioning. "Uh.....actually because I remember last time I was roaming around and by mistake walked into N

Coming out of the bathroom I was ready to go to work without Andrew. Also, I wasn't feeling like eating or seeing Catherine's face. One last look in the mirror and I moved towards the door but saw the male standing with a tray full of food in his hands. "What's this?" I raised a brow looking at the guy who entered the room and sat on the bed. "Come let's have breakfast." Shocked I stared at the guy, he brought breakfast for me? Not caring about the rule that his nanny has set, about eating food downstairs at the table. "But my-" "Come already!" He whined while pulling me towards him. Why he was acting like this? Shrugging I sat in front of him. "Wait you don't eat that." Before I could take a bite he stopped me, raising brows I send him a questioning look. "You don't like apple jam, why eat it?" His expression gave away how curious he was because I have been behaving and eating very differently, weird as to what he said.

Couldn't a person sit down? I have been running behind Andrew because that man could not even wait for me. And then he said he was so caring...such a big lie. Anyway, I kept up with him but I regretted wearing heels. Couldn't even walk properly in them. "Are you okay?" A male appeared from behind, he seemed of the same age or maybe younger than me. His chocolate brown eyes were looking at my face and I didn't know that I just zoned out while standing alone in the middle of the room until the unknown guy showed up. "Uh, ah....." My mind was blank, what could I probably say to him 'Oh no I'm not fine because of one idiot who is my boss' that wouldn't be a good reply. He waved his hand in front of me while raising his brows. "You okay?" Smiling to hide my embarrassment I nodded. "I'm good, sorry if I'm acting weird." I looked down to cover my reddening face, why was I still such a weirdo? "It's not like that, you seemed worried or
Last Updated : 2021-08-22The CEO (Contract Marriage) 27. A Big Problem
Shaking all the unnecessary thoughts I strolled into the big room with Andrew still sticking with me just like he said. "You should drink something." He advised but my eyes were fixed on something behind my husband. "What are you looking at?" With furrowed brows, he asked me. "The man..." I stopped in mid-sentence when the guy in front of me stared angrily. "Who?" He tried to turn but I pulled him back so because of him at least I was hidden. "No one, standstill." I scolded him on which he pouted. Why does he have to be so cute? "Is your work here done?" I asked wanting to go already. Couldn't let the other male see me. "Yep, but-" "We're going then, I don't wanna-" I fastly moved down because the other guy was looking at us. "Please, can we go?" I stared up at him. My face was hidden in my spouse's wide chest so no one behind him could see me. "Sure. You're acting so weird tho." Rolling my eyes I dragge

My eyes were puffy and my nose red and runny. I looked at my hands, my mind blank and body numb. My surrounding was all white even the bedsheets and the gown that I was wearing was the same. "Can I come in?" Eva peeked inside from the little space. Nodding I smiled a little and slowly first she popped her head inside making sure of something that I didn't know before coming in and closing the door behind her. "How are you?" She tried to be cheery but knew very well what I was feeling and that I couldn't be all bubbly today. So she just came and held my hand while sitting beside me. "I know it's hard but please take care of yourself. Doc said you are not in good condition, eat something please." She put a bag, that I didn't see before, on the table and took out some fruits. Using the plate and knife that were kept in the room. She gave me a small piece forcing me to eat. "It's odd like a month ago I don't even want a child but now... it

I was laughing at some lame joke made by my father-in-law when we heard the voice of the main door being slammed open. I frowned looking questioningly at Michael who was as confused as I was. Both of us walked out of the TV lounge just to see my husband coming with a girl clinging to his side. Why did it feel like something was burning within me? I wanted to snatch that slut, who was almost wearing nothing, away from my man but stopped when I saw the male's hand on her waist. Why? Why was I feeling like this? Why was he acting like this? "Andrew Michael what are you doing!? Who is she?" He shouted at the male who was too drunk to even stand in one place or open his eyes fully. "Ah, don't shout. Come on let's go, Olivia." A feeling of sadness washed over me when he tried to walk away with the girl. What did he think of himself? He wouldn't let me even talk to a guy while he was roaming like this with a girl. "Stop right there mister!" I
Last Updated : 2021-08-25The CEO (Contract Marriage) 30. One After Another Bomb
I rubbed my eyes while yawning, sitting up on the bed I saw out of the window just to see the sky changing into the shade of red-orange. Did I sleep? Yeah! because of my idiot husband, I also fell asleep while sitting beside him. After looking at the mobile I went to the bathroom to wash my face, walking out I found my phone ringing but the male declined it. Frowning I moved near to see who it was exactly, the guy was laying on his stomach staring at my phone. Silently my hands reached for the device and before Andrew knew I had the gadget in my hand. "Ah, when you came out?" His voice was thick and deeper because he had just woken up. "When you were glaring at my poor mobile." Rolling his eyes he sat up and pulled me down. "Who is this 'my life' in your contacts?" He raised a brow while keeping his chin on my shoulder as his hands were locked around my waist. Yeah, this was a too comfortable way to sit, but should I even say that I li
Last Updated : 2021-08-26The CEO (Contract Marriage) 31. Joke Or What
This has never happened in any movie or story. It seemed like a joke, my life looked like a paper that was crumbling slowly. As if my mother's not so good condition and my sister in operation wasn't enough, now something had happened to Michael. Shouting, I punched at the wall losing my patience and calm posture. Holding my hair I sat down while feeling like killing the person who was doing all this. This was not a coincidence, of course, it couldn't be. How could my sister, mother, and father-in-law all get in trouble on the same day? "Hey! Are you fine? What happened?" Andrew hugged me and I let him comfort me, oddly his touch calmed me. He whispered sweet and calming words in my ears, removing my hair he made me face him. Liam was standing a little away from us, appearing concerned about me. "Something very bad is happening..." He smiled shaking his head. "Don't worry, your sister will be alright and about your mother, she w

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
The CEO (Contract Marriage) 99. Idea Into Action
"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
The CEO (Contract Marriage) 97. From Rough Draft To Full Made Plan
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
The CEO (Contract Marriage) 96. Hidden
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 CEO (Contract Marriage) 95. Not Innocent
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,
The CEO (Contract Marriage) 94. Fake Story Or Truth
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.
The CEO (Contract Marriage) 93. Scared Of Losing
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. It was already evening the sky was a mixture of red and orange while the sun was nearly gone. A sigh left my lips as I kept my head on the seat of the car, I remembered how I wasn't even able to
The CEO (Contract Marriage) 92. Light
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
