39. Just a dinner
Last Updated:
2021-09-03 23:34:19"You aren't going to the office?" The male who was still half asleep mumbled something incoherent before pulling me by the waist and sleeping again.
I messaged his head while lost in my thoughts. I was still sad and in pain but maybe I didn't wanna die right now like before. Maybe..... I was not nice, a useless human to everyone but someone was good to me.
I got a message from my male friend saying Alison's condition wasn't very well but Eva knew how I was feeling, so she went to see my sis instead of me.
I might go to meet her soon but right now I didn't think I could face her or comfort her. Because my tears didn't seem to stop and worrying about her for me wasn't good.
I wanted to run away, lock my room, and cry. Yet here I was, acting normal and sitting. Oddly, I cared about Andrew's happiness too much that I was ready to act as if nothing happened. My heart ached when I saw him sad, and I accepted that there was this weird feeling I have for him

"What are you doing here?" I asked furiously. The level of anger I have right now might be shown in comics by steam coming out of the character's ears and her whole face red. In other, there are chances of even fire coming out of the character's mouth. I forgot all sadness in this situation. One thing was clear now, I hated his ugly face too much that I couldn't stand to see it for more than a minute. Why would he always end up in front of me? When all I wanted to do was keep as much distance between us as I could. "Why crying? I do not like your red puffy face." "That's a good thing, I might keep my face like this from now on." It could be possible because I would be crying most of the time my whole life that was left. "Haha, nice joke babe. By the way, are you upset because your so-called husband is downstairs with his female friend, ignoring you?" I was a little jealous because Andrew had been downstairs with his friend

"Are you sure you wanna go?" I nodded while taking a bite of the sandwich with some juice and that was it. I couldn't eat anything without feeling bad, couldn't just forget about my mother's death incident like that. Whenever I kept even a piece of food in my mouth I would see my mum's lifeless eyes. Why? I didn't know maybe I still thought that I should have died instead of her. If only I wasn't stubborn that day when my father got into an accident. That all happened because of me. "Fine but eat your breakfast first." With a bad expression, I pushed the plate away. "I don't feel like eating anything." Narrowing his eyes, he gave me a look that meant 'Eat-it-right-now' but I just couldn't. "What about the juice?" The guy asked, why was he so worried about my food? "I said I'm full. Shall we go?" He had almost finished his breakfast. Frowning I stared at the man who took a big amount of juice in his mouth from the glass

Two of us were seated near the glass wall, the busy road could be seen from here. "So?" I muttered as we didn't know how to start a decent conversation or what to talk about. "I think you shouldn't be this nervous or afraid? I won't eat you, nor I'm a ghost." Laughing both of us slowly got comfortable and later started talking about random things. But the reason why I was anxious wasn't William, it was the message. A killing threat not for me but the guy with me. What would, whoever it was, would do after murdering the poor male who didn't even know anything. What he or she would get after doing something bad to the male? I tried my best to not seem concerned and focus on our conversation when the waiter came with our orders. "Thanks," I muttered to the girl who smiled and left us. "The taste of this sandwich is amazing." I munched the food happily forgetting that some problem might be lurking around. A hand came from b

Andrew Pov "No! No! You're wrong." Shocked I stared at Alyssa who was all of the sudden acting odd. She was crying while keeping her hands on her ear and shouting weird things. "Hey, nothing is there. What happened to you suddenly?" I pulled her near me while moving the food away. Signing the maids to go away, I hugged my wife. The maids nodded while walking out. "I didn't do anything. It wasn't my fault." The female spoke between hiccups. Moving her hair from her face I wiped her tears while trying my best to calm her down. God knew what has been happening to her for some past days, she didn't even want to share it with me. She has been trying to look okay but I hated it more knowing that she was doing this because of me. "You know it Andrew right? I haven't killed anyone." Her red eyes stared at me desperately for an answer. An odd pain appeared in my heart seeing her like this. "Of course, you haven't." I kissed her forehead as she

I was bored and needed something to divert my attention. So here I was in an old dusty room which looked like it hasn't been cleaned for more than ten years. Coughing I looked at the thick layer of dust on the table beside me, 'What does my husband do here? Do he even come here?' Staring around I could see many pictures covered with white clothes. Some boxes here and there but what I didn't understand was why keep all this locked here? Why not hang pictures on the walls? Taking hold of one of the boxes I opened it to find a beautiful necklace in it. Unintentionally I touched the clean smooth diamond hanging in the chain. "Whose things are these? And why had my husband kept all this like it's his treasure that he won't let anyone steal?" I muttered to myself as a wave of burning jealousy spread through me when a thought hit me. What if this all belongs to a girl Andrew loved very much but unfortunately, something happened between them? Th

I was taking a bath. My husband ruined my workout session and turned it into a make-out session saying it was also a better exercise. Idiot! So after that here I was closed eyes, laying in the water. Though the male wanted to have a bath together I knew many other things would have happened instead of bathing, so I said no to him. A small smile was plastered on my face as I felt myself relaxing but not for long. Suddenly, the water felt hot like boiling lava burning me. Opening my eyes I saw the water was changed into blood, the lifeless body of my mother was laying opposite me. Screaming out of fear I stood up trying to get away from the bathtub but lost my balance and fell back right into the tub. "Why are you running from me?" My breath was rigid as I felt fear overcoming every sense of mine. "H-how could you be here?" I muttered. No, this was just my mind playing tricks! She looked in bad condition, her clothes covered in h

"Come on fast." Rolling my eyes I walked out of my room and towards the impatient husband of mine who was waiting downstairs for me. My black tight, short dress with heels- yeah I wore heels!- and smoky eye makeup was giving me a badass look, messy bun was cherry on top. Walking down I made eye contact with the male who was staring at me wide-eyed before coughing and looking around. "I gave you this frock but..uh..." Was he blushing!? Hell yeah, he was, scratching the back of his neck he gave me his hand. "Let's go." Nodding, we both strolled out of the house. Andrew had asked me to have dinner out and I agreed, because why not? ***** "Which flavor of ice cream do you want?" I rubbed my jaw thinking for a while before deciding, on chocolate flavor. Just when we turned after taking our order I cursed in my mind because the stepbrother of my husband came in. A female with a child in her hand followed behind him. Truthfully I didn
Last Updated : 2021-09-11The CEO (Contract Marriage) 47. Late Realization
"So you mean I was pushed by someone and that wasn't me just being delusional?" I inquired, trying to believe that someone hated me to an extent that he or she went as far as trying to kill me. He hummed while I kept my poker face mask on because I didn't want him to think that he did wrong by telling me this. I was restless and curious about the truth but now I was disturbed mentally after knowing it. I thought it was true about humans, 'they are never happy or satisfied with what they have.' or at least it suited me. Now I wanted to know more about this even when I knew I couldn't handle it. "But who was it?" The male rubbed his jaw like he was also confused about it before speaking up. "Only maids are there who are suspected to be behind this. But most of them were in their room. As for what I know two maids were not in the servant quarter. Catherine and Maddison." I nodded listening to him. Didn't know why but my heart and mind

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
