59. Efforts For Nothing
Last Updated:
2021-09-23 23:52:51I neared both of them wanting to know what was going on. I knew it was not good to think about anyone like this, but Catherine seemed a big wall of trouble between me and my husband.
Anyway, I tried to look at what had happened just to find the lady had her foot swollen and red, she had in kept her foot, in a very odd angle, on the sofa I guess she had broken one or two bones of her foot. How? That was only known by her and God.
"What happened?" The male asked worriedly as I stared at her leg. I knew, by her expression, it was hurting the woman a lot.
"You should take her to the hospital, the injury is quite serious." The guy detached his eyes from his nanny to gaze at my face.
"Are you sure about that?" I rolled my eyes at him. Did he think of me that much of a heartless person? Sure I sometimes hate this lady but it didn't mean I would go on a date leaving her here in pain.
"Of course, that's why I said it." The woman inhaled loudly while st

The CEO (Contract Marriage) 60. I Loved Him But........
The truth may hurt or pain others but it's always better than being kept in dark, or getting to know it at the wrong time. At that time truth could be anything but nice still as time passes people understand that saying the truth was better than making up a lie. You could be happy for a while, you could get many things by a lie but in the end, you will be alone, empty-hand. A lie couldn't be hidden for too long so taking a deep breath to calm my racing heart, I said it. The things that I wanted to hide from everyone, the things that I wanted to forget but they just somehow came back again in my life, I told him all about it, wishing he would understand me. "Andrew was my boyfriend for three years." I played with my hands not knowing if I should even continue this. I was already feeling miserable just by thinking about that young stupid me. "Oh. " Glancing up I saw a hurt expression on his face as he tried not to look at me. "I thought I was ha

"You won't do it." I narrowed my eyes at the male who gave me an evil smirk. "Oh? What if I say I have already done it?" I licked my lips uncertainly before walking carefully near the mirror. 'No, no, no! It should be a lie. That idiot didn't do that, did he?' "Y-You serious. How am I gonna go to the office with this!" I exclaimed after seeing a fucking hickey that couldn't be hidden by the shirt's collar too. "What do you mean? It's just a hickey. You don't have to hide it, it's a sign of my love for you dear." He smirked teasingly while I glared at him through the mirror. "You are annoying." He chuckled before hugging me. His chin was resting on my shoulder as he stared at the hickey with a proud look. "Ain't I good at it?" Rolling my eyes I tried to free myself but no, he wouldn't move. "Of course, you are too experienced at this," I muttered not feeling good about thinking that he had been with so many girls but

Slowly my eyes fluttered open only to find the darkness that was engulfing me. I wished I wouldn't have woken up because of the cold that attacked me just when I got my senses back, it made me shiver. My teeth were chattering as I was in just a shirt, without any warm thing. The darkroom, where I was, was empty except for the chair on which I was, ropes wrapped around me. The cold and tight grip of ropes was making my hands numb as blood couldn't reach my fingers. I licked my dry lips and a sigh left my mouth. Where was I? Why did I have to go through all this pain? Sure I might be a sinful person but couldn't God just call me up rather making me suffer so much. Ah, I hated this world and my life. What happened to Andrew? How was he doing? I hoped he wouldn't try to get himself in trouble because of me. Did he get hurt when he was trying to call security and save me? Someone did fire but was it directed to him? I didn't know anything

"I don't think we can let you go after one day, you seem to have a problem while sitting. The injury, that the bullet caused, isn't properly healed." I rolled my eyes at the doctor while sitting up. "See, I'm good." Showing him a forced smile I stopped my face from crumbling into a painful expression. The fucking wound was making my body to be in hella pain whenever I would move but I could take care of this problem at home too. Our family doctor wasn't in this country as he has gone to handle some work but I wished he could be here. If only he could, I wouldn't have to stay here. I wanted to find my father and then somehow get my wife back. "He will be staying here for one more day, doc." I glanced over to my right to see Noah who had many things in his hand. Nodding he kept the things on a chair beside me and before I could say anything they both were walking out of the room. 'Why would he do that?' I thought while keeping a hand on my stomach and s

"I don't want to eat this! Just take it away!" I shouted even when my head felt dizzy and my throat was dry. "Just eat it, or you won't be getting anything for the next whole day." I closed my eyes not even feeling like seeing anyone anymore. "You won't ignore me bitch!" The man slapped me but I was getting normalized with it. It was the fourth or the fifth time that the guy smacked my face and I was already used to it. "Answer me." A weird voice left my mouth when he gripped my hair and tugged hard on it. "Bastard! Leave my hair you fucking idiot. I swear if even one of my hair will be less when I see them, I will come to you and kill you!" He laughed at my painful expression before opening his fist. "Die hungry and thirsty in this cold place. I don't give a fuck about you bitch. Wish you die painfully." He spits on the food before walking away not taking the plate. I looked at the surrounding with disgust while shiv

Xavier Pov Walking in the company with my head high and a simple small smile to not look rude but not too good, has never been easy. Keeping up with my cold reputation before wasn't too hard as not talking to anyone friendly could make a person look bitter therefore I was known as cold or a man without heart. Smiling or laughing wasn't something I used to do before I met Alyssa. She was the one who made me act nicely with employees because she used to say, 'Think of them as humans, not robots' but today it was hard to be polite. The people hadn't done work properly which could put our company in a big loss. Not having my girl here was also driving me crazy nevertheless controlling my emotions I tried to solve the problem that people here have caused when I was gone. I was in the hospital and Noah was looking after everything here while Eva was helping him with everything but my employees needed a strict boss like me for them

Sometimes a wrong thing is right and at that time you have to break your rules for yourself to do that. It isn't easy to do what you have been against yet you would choose to perform that act as you need to. Humans are a creature that has a habit, they do the things that have profit for them. So that was why I was ready to threaten or bribe the guards to let me in the house of my stepbrother. I planned to meet Bonnie when her husband, my brother, wouldn't be at home as he wouldn't let me meet the female. I meant why would he let me be together with his wife? He knew that his bad deeds could be opened up to me. Because she would tell me what that lame excuse of a man was doing with her and how brutal he was with everyone. I knew he was not at all a good man because nor did he love his cute small child nor did he respect his wife or let her go anywhere. It was like they both were a prisoner, captured in a prison. I alwa

Alyssa Pov "Why are you doing this? You won't get anything from all this." I said in a low voice as my head hung low while my throat felt scratchy. Talking with a dry mouth was so hard. I haven't drunk a single drop of water for God knew how long and now they had even stopped bringing water that would have sand particles in it or food that would reek bad. "I got to see you every day, isn't it good little mermaid." My face crumbled into a disgusted expression as I closed my eyes trying to ignore his piercing gaze in the dark. After a minute I felt a rough hand on my face and it made me open my eyes while jerking my head back. I remembered how I once craved this touch but now it was making me feel like beating myself just by thinking about it. I no more like this nor did I like this man who was in front of me or his presence. It was funny but true that five or six years ago I would have been happy to have this guy but now I n

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
