"You don't have any other work than following him and me or other than creating problems in our life?" I slumped back on the seat knowing very well that I have to spend much time with him here as I was not sure when would Andrew be able to get bonnie outta the house.

"Let me see....um...Nope. Nowadays I'm quite free from other work." Glaring at him I sighed while staring around to see many people laughing and talking, here I was sitting with my enemy who once kidnapped me too.

"You're annoying and I still don't get why you called me?" Folding my arms I raised a brow as he smirked, alarming me that he was gonna say something rubbish, he sat in a more comfortable position with his back touching the chair.

"Can't I just meet you, little mermaid? Do I need a reason now? Back then-" Pressing my lips I tried to control my anger but he was trying to make me remember old-time which made me angry.

"Well, back then I didn't know you were a kidnapper and heartless man who doesn't care about h

  • The CEO (Contract Marriage)   89. How It Would Be Without You

    Sometimes it was better to share your thoughts and inquiries with others. Cause two minds have always been better than one, sharing all ideas with someone who understands you could be a way of taking off what was on your mind, and having a person like that was great. A blessing. Not everyone would have a person who would understand the other and would feel him or her, know how the other was feeling. For me, it was just an imaginary thing. To think to have someone who knew just what was going on in my mind and what was in my heart was something unreal. But, now....well, I think not everyone but some could get a life partner, soul mate like that. Seated with my husband as he talked about what was on his mind and knowing just how much he trusted me I felt...good. Knowing both of us were opening up to each other. "I mean why is that bastard so much of an idiot and blind? Couldn't he remember? That my mother was in front of the stairs and not on the top, how come she would push his mum

    Never did I think to see someone so cruel or the last thing was to meet him or her. But well things were not always as I wanted and so here I not only have met the guy who seemed to have no heart but I knew him very well too. On a nice cool day with the sun softly staring at the ground, not angry like always, no one would want a bad thing to happen. Because for me it has been like 'Good weather, good mood' but now my mood was destroyed. I was okay with loads of work and was also okay with running behind Andrew everywhere but never expected this day to take a turn, for bad, like this. Stepping out of the lift I frowned as there was a group of people circling something. It was my first time seeing people like this as in company everyone had to mind their own business and my husband never liked people standing in groups like this. My spouse was asking me to wait as he has to attend an important call nodding I curiously stared at the people before making my way towards the flock of

    "You got it, right? I am grateful for your help and will try to help you whenever you will need me." Emma rolled her eyes while pushing me a little. "Don't be that emotional gurl, you making me feel like crying out of happiness for having a friend like you?" The female acted as if wiping her tears before smiling as I shook my head. "I still can't understand what or why you are hiding something from the boss, your dear husband, but well, I will do my work," Emma said as I hugged her with a thankful smile before leaving an important document with her. ***** Sighing I kept my head on the soft seat of the car before the vehicle started to move at a constant speed. After thirty minutes I reached the place the male texted me. Shutting my car door close, I moved inside the big, expensive-looking restaurant. "Where is she?" Shockingly the guy didn't smirk in joy at seeing me feeling defeated nor did he talk rubbish about anything else. "Who are you talking about?" Even after knowing wh

    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

    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.

    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 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,

    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

    "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

    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

    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
