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

The CEO (Contract Marriage) 66. Secret Meeting
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.

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

Xavier Pov I walked down and directly to my car cause for the past few days I didn't feel like eating anything. The only thing I was living on was water. **** "What?" I scrunched my face in confusion while staring at Eva who was waiting for me at my office when I came. "You see, I told you to not take help from the police because I knew something like this would happen. He isn't stupid to think you won't do anything. The place where he had kept Alyssa is bought by your father but it is in your name. So taking police help in this will affect your reputation, and he will surely find a way to blame all this on you." She said while handing me some property papers. "But I can go there and ask them to clean that area cause it's my place, my possession, and they have to listen to me," I suggested on which she gave me a look saying 'You-joking-or-you-had-gone-crazy' "Why look at me like this?" I inquired with a raised brow on which she stared

I sighed while sitting comfortably on the sofa as the girl beside me kept on drinking one after another glass of wine and I didn't stop her as it would be good to ask things from her when she would be drunk. "Two more please." The female slurred but I stopped the waiter asking him to not bring more drinks. It was weird, but I felt bad for making a girl drunk and getting all the information from her cause I have been always a nice guy. Never had hurt someone nor interfered in others' life and if someone would think from my point of view I wasn't wrong right now too. Sure I had one-night stands and a reputation as a rude playboy but it didn't mean I was really like that. The girls would know what they were getting themself into and I have always been nice to them. Even today, I wouldn't hurt this woman badly until she would help me and wouldn't cross her lines. Fearing that too many drinks might cause her to pass out which wouldn't be at a

Late at night with cold winds blowing and nothing but silence surrounding me. Suddenly, a man in all black came from behind and tapped my shoulder. What should have I felt at this very time? Right, I got heebie-jeebies thinking who it could be. "Sir." Frowning I turned back to see a man whose face was covered with a black mask, only his eyes and scar could be seen. "What did you say? No, firstly, who are you?" I questioned calming my running heart that jumped when this man came out of nowhere. "I'm the man your father send last time too. This letter, he wanted me to give this to you." Confused I took the white envelope as the man backed away and turned to go from where he came from. Soon he was mixing with darkness and then gone. I was standing all on my own, feeling sad, confused, and had a lot more emotions spreading through me. A sad smile made its place on my face as I remembered Alyssa telling me just how much she liked sitt

Xavier Pov The bullets were flying crazily in the air but I ran as fast as I could toward the figure. Heart beating with an abnormal speed my mind rode my body to that place, I couldn't stop even when I was afraid of what I would see. 'Is the figure really who I think it is?' A feeling of uncertainty stirred in my chest, 'am I ready to see what is in front of me?' The only street light that was shining dimly, giving just a little help for me to see around, was making it hard for me to take a look at my surrounding still I couldn't fail to notice the person who was running towards me. My speed increased to double when the figure cried in pain and was about to fall. Just a second before she could drop down my hands touched her back. My heart leaped in my throat as I felt many emotions swirling within me. I had never felt this overwhelmed by emotions but right now staring at the girl's face that I craved to see made me forget ever

After meeting most of the people which included my sister and friends, it was evening already. I was quite shocked after seeing some employees at the company, who were my friends, also came to meet me. But Andrew wasn't that pleased with some males visiting me and on the top who my husband didn't like was William, the fellow who had made my man jealous many times. "Aren't you tired of sitting on that plastic chair?" I questioned the male randomly who came just now to meet me after work, he went to the company as I forced him to focus on the work because Adrian could take advantage of him not giving attention to the work. But at night he had been staying at the hospital looking after me. I had told him to rest, Noah had said that he could stay with me or any other friend of mine could be with me here but my husband wouldn't listen. He said 'how can I sleep at home peacefully when my mind would keep drifting towards the thoughts like how is my wif

Sitting on the hair I typed the words gash as much speed as I could knowing this document was needed by Andrew for an upcoming meeting. After checking some other files I stood up to walk towards his office, suppressing the pain that shot through my stomach cause I bent down to get the fallen paper from the floor, I heard the male shout on the way. "Do you even know how much this mistake of yours will cost us? I have a meeting in thirty minutes, can do you it all again!?" He seemed angry and was shouting at the top of his lungs. For some past days, he had been shouting and being too harsh with other employees. Not only that, he had been stressing and overworking all the time. On top of all this, he wasn't letting me know about any of his problems. He has acted normal and has been a nice polite, and caring husband but I could see through his mask of calmness. He has been worrying about many things but I couldn't get what was making him like

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
