71. Dream Or True
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

The CEO (Contract Marriage) 72. Back To Normal Or Nah
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
The CEO (Contract Marriage) 73. Two Side Of My Husband
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
The CEO (Contract Marriage) 74. Something On His Mind
Some days were just sad, and gloomy and they gave me bad bines. I felt uncomfortable and my heart didn't feel at rest too. Walking around with a straight face while zoning out here and there was quite common on these types of days. Today, for me, it was one of those days, I still have to ask Andrew about my phone that I left in the office when those men took me away. But for now, I didn't have anything to do except lay on the bed and stare at the ceiling. It was early in the morning and my husband was for the first time sleeping peacefully in his room on Sunday. When I went to see him for asking about something he was fast asleep. He had always tended to wake up early and it was a surprise to see him still at home, sleeping. Not wanting to disturb him I came back but now I didn't know what exactly to do. Drama? I didn't have any good one in mind and had finished one whole drama yesterday. Story? I couldn't read any cause of no phone or book available and library..... by that,
The CEO (Contract Marriage) 75. Friendly Advice
"You ain't going today?" My husband popped his head inside the room and once again I could see the big under-eye bags and disheveled condition of his. I sighed, not liking his appearance. It reminded me just how bad I was. I couldn't even make him happy and maybe he didn't believe in me enough to share his problem. Sitting up with a yawn I rubbed my eyes, last night I couldn't sleep because my mind was filled with different thoughts about Andrew, Adrian, and my friend who seemed to have a feeling for a guy for the first time, but he was being stupid. "No, I completed every work yesterday and had given everything to Emma who will pass it on to you today." He frowned before stepping into my room and lightly closing the door behind him. "Why, are you not feeling well?" He looked like he had lost some weight as his shirt wasn't as tightly hugging his body as it would always. He hasn't been eating anything other than water and it was worrying me now, but he wouldn't ever listen to me.
The CEO (Contract Marriage) 76. Grave
It is hard to do something that you don't want to but at the same time, you want to do it. My mind and heart were on different sides and they have torn me into two. Confused and frustrated, a mess. Not only not knowing what side to choose but preventing myself from choosing any bad thing that I might regret later. For me, it wasn't new. I had chosen the worst every single time for myself until.....Andrew came knocking on my door asking me to marry him and for that, he gave me money too. I heard people saying that wealth could make people powerful and they could buy anything....anyone. Put the right person on the wrong path but never did I think that I would be one of those who would give herself for money. I agreed to live with a stranger and then have a child with him as long as he was giving me money, but wasn't it the best thing I ever did in my life? A thing thought to be a mistake became my best decision, that one 'yes' changed my whole life upside down. Once a poor girl who
The CEO (Contract Marriage) 77. Shocking Change
"Go and eat the food." He ordered as the female behind him rolled her eyes while saying a 'no' "I'm not taking anyone's order here." She said as the male shook his head with a smile and asked her to eat cause she needed some energy from food. "Simply say you want to talk to my sister alone." Alison walked out of the room with that as the male turned towards me. "Why were both there? You know it's not safe to be there alone and on top of it, you were drinking. Really? I never thought you to be this stupid!" He scolded as I fidgeted with the bracelet I was wearing. "I didn't know what I was doing. Everything was a mess in my head! I didn't know what was right or wrong at that time. I was a mess!" I suddenly burst out. Why was everything so hard for me? I couldn't seem to forget my parent's death, it was repeating again and again in front of my eyes and then the thought of what Andrew was hiding from me. What made him drift away from me? What was the thing on his mind that made him
The CEO (Contract Marriage) 78. Puzzle
"What do mean by these days? Why act like this after I have just come home?" I question the old lady who once used to have a bad expression whenever she would see me but now, it was anything but showing hatred toward me. Catherine had given me quite a shock with her drastic behavior change. From all-knowing with an arrogant expression, she now had a kind and sweet personality which sometimes would creep me out. What if she was acting to be good but hasn't changed a bit from inside? What if something big bad was going through her mind? But still, at this time when my husband had changed so much too, I didn't know what to do or from whom to talk. So I did what I thought was right, I asked her and talked to her without trying to find a way to run away from her. "Well, I think you don't know then. It's not new for me or whoever knows him for a long time cause every year near this date he becomes moody and last year he fired half of the employees. Tomorrow is his mother's 11th or.....may
The CEO (Contract Marriage) 79. Silence Like A Needle
Waking up I found myself unable to move, I was caged by my heavy husband who had his arms tightly locked around me and his legs were holding one of my legs between his. But what made my whole face as red as a tomato was his head that was on my stomach, and he kept trying to find a nice position so the sun rays wouldn't disturb his sleep. His hot breath was easily felt through my nightshirt. "What an awkward position I'm in," I muttered while trying not to wake Andrew but get out of his hold, which wasn't at all an easy task. After a lot of struggles, I was finally able to get to the bathroom where I did my morning routine, and then careful not to walk on the glass pieces, that were still laying on the floor, I ambled out of the room. ***** "Are you sure about that?" I nodded while fixing my hair back into a nice braid. "Yesterday I told you that I will not leave you alone in hard times, so I think it's time to prove it. I will be just accompanying you there and then you can have
