" Why didn't you leave her to die mom,. Why the hell did you have to save her, she should have died for all I care . You acted so stupid mom " . a young girl about the same age or maybe older than Alyssa spoke up with arms akimbo .
" Don't you dare talk to me that way Olivia I'm still your mother young lady, besides we still need her, we still have used for her. Remember she still hasn't signed the papers yet we should think about how to make her sign it, not standing here quarreling over something that isn't important" Mrs Judy replied her daughter also standing akimbo
She wore a long black jean with a green top, Olivia shook her head in disbelief, " don't you think we get to own the company if she dies? Huh after all ,we are the only family she has,I don't even know why uncle had to will everything to her alone without willing anything to you, I mean he acted so stupid, he was such a fool" Olivia continued gazing at her mum who looked at her with mixed feelings. like seriously, somehow her daughter grew up to become worse then she is.
"Let us just get her to sign this document nicely without losing any more chances now that she's here alright" she moves closer to Olivia and wrapped her arms around her " don't worry darling, we'll have it all soon enough".
Alyssa gasped loud enough for both her aunt and cousin to hear, she had tears falling down freely and are hands kept on shaking ,
" What the hell did she just hear, she shook her ears hoping everything she'd heard now were just lies or jokes ,but damn ,they weren't. Wait , did they just fool her ,damn they finally succeeded in fooling her , and why ? Maybe because she had actually decided to give her aunt a second chance in her life, and try to open her heart slowly to her ,even if it's just for a little while
Auntie Judy couldn't help but look at Alyssa feeling a little scared as she also kept on shaking, " Al... Al.. Alys " she tried calling her name but couldn't why on the other hand , Olivia stood straight and adamant without showing any sign of remorse even if it's just pretence.
" So what? So what if you heard it all , so fucking what huh? Do you think you're the only one who likes wealth?, I mean babe ,we are humans, why can't we be just a little selfish like all the people out there? I wanna be fucking rich too yunno" Olivia spat angrily.
Alyssa scoffed,
" you could have just asked me instead if you needed money Olivia,I would have given you more money than you could ever wish for ,if only you asked and you both had just apologize for what you did to me in the past"
" Oh shut the hell up Alyssa, we aren't some poor beggars you take pity on , we absolutely don't need your pity either, yes you heard it all, you heard every bit of it, what the f****** hell do you want to do about it?
Aunt Judy shook her head looking at her daughter in disbelief," Olivia!! .she called but hell no ,she wasn't gonna listen or turn back now , especially now that their plans had been leaked .
Alyssa in between her tears scoffed and laughed
" What's so funny you weirdo?"
" You wanna know ? Huh ? Alyssa spat like a boss lady . She walked over to the center table, grabbing the file which laid there,and when she opened it ,she brought out the document, grabbed a pen on the table and signed of in immediately without reading it ,, it was so obvious it wasn't of any good anyways.
She's gonna die in some months time anyways,so what's the use of keeping it anyway,and besides,she isn't in control of her damn mind .
"You want my company? You are fucking** obsessed with my money? Then here, you can have it all, I don't care anymore, eat it all till you f****** die " she forcefully threw the document on their shocked faces and walked out immediately heading towards the room to get all her stuff and leave the freaking house.
A while ago, after the incident in the bathtub, she had woken up just to see herself still alive and on the bed covered up properly, with her head hurting like hell. She ran into the bathroom to throw up ,and ended up smiling, thinking,just maybe her aunt and cousin had saved her life .
DAYS LATER ••••••
As she got into an underground garage towards where her car was parked , Alyssa mind began to wander.
She was already twenty three and still never had a boyfriend, she grew up thinking about her work and her company, and never had time to be in a relationship. She had always rejected boys who showed her love , besides she never trusted men ,and the few that had shown interest in her ,she believed they were only after her money.
" Mr Alex,I love you ! "A woman's voice echoed in the underground garage startling Alyssa again.
" What did you just say ? "She heard a familiar voice ,the same intimidating,and meniace voice she heard some days ago ,and she began to wonder if he was the same person.
" I said I love you Alex" Alyssa heard the woman's voice again " I fell for you the moment I signed the contract,the moment I saw you "the woman's voice sounded again
Alyssa could tell from her voice ,that she wasn't lying at all , she really loves him . She decided to wait and eavesdrop till the end .
" We're done "he said with a cold and harsh voice , there was simply no trace of emotions in his eyes
" What ,I'm sorry "
" Don't let me repeat myself again "
" But the contract says I'll be your woman for six months,I still have three months left ."
" Did you properly read the contract MJ? He brought out his phone and began scrolling through his gallery till he got what he was looking for and then ,he began reading. Here's one of the first and most important rule , the contracted lady can demand anything except for love or affection, once she demands for this , the contract immediately becomes null and void "
Alyssa's eyes widened with what she just heard , he was just excactly the man she wanted . She couldn't help but peek at them and surprisingly it was the same man .
" Take her away "Alex immediately said and immediately a tall , hefty man in Black came dragging her out
Alyssa was about moving,when she heard his voice
" Come out , I know you're hiding there "he said and she flinched in fear .
She wasn't gonna let this cold, bold ,daring yet breathtaking and surprisingly handsome man intimidate her ,and she only continued drooling immediately her eyes fell on him
He was just the perfect definition of beauty , his well built body got her almost going insane .
" What are you doing here, were you eavesdropping? His cold voice uttered and she could feel it echo deep in her heart , her eyes sparkled as she continued drooling.
A drool which ended immediately she heard the sound of his gun ,and immediately,she returned back to her senses .
Suddenly,with an unknown boldness she spoke up " I can become your contracted woman , and believe me ,I won't ever demand for your love or affection"... But he only gave her a shocked look and scoffed looking at her.
" What did you say?"Alex spoke up looking at her, such a little lady coming to him and willing to do something so dangerous." Little lamb, do you know who I am?"He asked taking a few steps towards her. This made Alyssa draw back a little in fear not because he was actually getting closer to her, but also because he wouldn't drop his gun." What are you doing?" His voice sounded really cold when he noticed she was moving backwards little by little, he stopped and stared at her for a while before speaking. " How can a scared little flower like you wish to sign a contract with me. What do I stand to gain by letting you " He asked making a scared Alyssa take a step closer to him." I clearly heard you, I do not need your love or affection,and isn't that what you want?.". She asked sounding so bold all of a sudden. Alex scoffed and tried taking another step closer to her, she moved back. He looked at the gun he was holding and suddenly smiled." I am dangerous, if you must know". Alex sai
Upon hearing that she was still willing to go ahead and become his contracted wife Alex couldn't help but be shocked by her courage. "Fine, but do not say I did not warn you about what you are getting yourself into," Alex said as he gave Alyssa his business card. Alyssa collected the card from him as she tried looking him in the eyes so he wouldn't sense the fear that was creepy through her. "I will let you think about these decisions you want to make, so yeah once you are done think about it and you are ready to continue with it you can just place a call to me," Mr. Alex said to Alyssa before he took his leave not wanting her to say anything. Immediately Alyssa got home she dropped her handbag on the bed and immediately went to the bathroom. She wanted to cool her head, after that conversation she had with Alex she had been feeling a headache. "I might have gone overboard," Alyssa said to herself as she turned on the shower. After a lot of thinking she finally came to a c
Thought Clouded Alyssa's mind as she wondered what in the world had happened when she called Mr mafia last night. After a lot of thought, she still couldn't remember what had happened and she decided not to disturb herself by thinking of what had happened last night over the call instead she started to think of what could be next for her now that she had accepted to be the contracted wife to a Mafia lord. "Even if I do not have a long time to live again due to my sickness, I still don't want to die quickly in the hands of my handsome Mr mafia," Alyssa said to herself as she went down the stairs to prepare breakfast for herself. **** Alex dropped his phone immediately after the call and walked over to the mirror to check out himself because he was getting ready for a business meeting when Alyssa called. As Alex walked gracefully to the mirror he couldn't help but wonder what had gotten into Alyssa that had made her accept to be his contracted wife, even though he had made her u
Alyssa glanced at her phone and noticed that she hadn't received any text message from Alex yet. While she was eager to finalize the contract and become the wife of a mafia don, she didn't appreciate wasting her time. After losing her parents and taking over her father's company, Alyssa developed a strong sense of punctuality. She had always been someone who valued being early and respecting time. Alyssa hesitated as she reached for her phone, contemplating whether or not to call Alex once again. Alyssa was concerned about giving off the impression of desperation to Alex. She didn't want him to perceive her as someone who was solely focused on finding a husband quickly before her time in life was up. Speaking about her death Alyssa had made some rules that she was going to uphold once she signed the contract and also she had made one wish concerning the contract she wanted to sign and that was the only thing she hoped and wished that Mr Mafia would accept. Alyssa kept checking a
Alyssa woke up feeling a tad bit improved after the sudden headache she experienced earlier in the day. Alyssa was uncertain about what to do because she had already woken up, thinking the meeting with Mr. Mafia wouldn't happen again today. As Alyssa grabbed her phone to see the time, she noticed it was already 4:30 in the evening. While checking the time, she received a notification from an unfamiliar number. She felt a bit hesitant but eventually decided to check the message, only to discover it was from Alex. "What the fuck!" Alyssa yelled "Omg, I must have slept so sound that I didn't even hear my phone ring nor hear the message tone sound," Alyssa said as she got up from the bed to go get ready. When Alyssa looked at the timestamp of the message, she discovered it was from three hours ago. She thought to herself that she must have been asleep for about three hours. She quickly went to her wardrobe and opened it. There were a variety of nice clothes but she didn't want to dres
Alex stood up from the dining table as he led the way to the mini office that was in his house. Alyssa followed after him, and as they got to the office room Alex sat on his seat and offered Alyssa a seat. There was a moment of silence between them as Alex brought out the contract files. Both his copy of the file and The one he had made for Alyssa. He handed over to Alyssa her copy of the file as she went through it without any form of distraction. After she was done going through all that was in the contract she started reading it out to Alex like she didn't know what was written on the file already. Effort! I know everything written on that piece of paper and that is not why I gave it to you to read, Alex said coldly, sending shivers down Alyssa's spine. Alex kept on speaking "I gave you to go through the contract and tell me if you are fine with the terms and conditions of the contract and also if there is any reasonable thing you would like to add to the contract" Alyssa sign
Alyssa arrived home late after her daring dinner with Alex. She's feeling uncertain about whether her choice was the right one or not. What she truly desires is to spend her remaining days on earth alongside a charming yet wicked and utterly ruthless Mafia leader in his empire. Alyssa questioned herself, wondering why she would willingly choose to make her life more challenging by staying with Mr. Mafia. As she entered her house, these thoughts occupied her mind. Alyssa let out a deep breath of relief as she settled onto one of the couches in her sitting room. "Hmmm, I hope I can survive these contracts I just signed lord," Alyssa said silently. Knowing how hot and tempting Alex was and could be Alyssa didn't want to bridge the contract after making a mouth about not bridging the contract, Alex without any form of effort already looked good so what would happen when they started Living together after the marriage and she can't control herself, Alyssa thought. As the thought of the
Alyssa woke up feeling refreshed after an exhausting dinner night with Alex. She got up from bed after checking the time and it was already 9 am in the morning, as she checked the time she saw that she had missed a lot of calls from the office and she wasn't ready to speak to anyone at that moment. She just dropped her phone and went to the bathroom. She gracefully took off her clothes and walked into the bathtub to have a relaxing morning bath. She spent a few minutes in the bathtub as she tried not to think about all her worries and just enjoyed the moment she had to herself as she took her bath. After she was done bathing she came out of the bathroom and applied some ointment onto her sink and did her usual routine before she went down to prepare herself breakfast. She took her phone with her down but as she got down the stairs and saw her bag and heels from last night's dinner meeting she remembered that she had told Alex that he should send his wedding plans to her house and
“What are you doing here?” Alex asked Lauren immediately if he saw her with Alyssa.“Get out now!” Alex yelled.“Reduce your voice, she's just regaining consciousness now please, and I will go” Lauren said as she was about to stand up when Alyssa held onto her.Alex was shocked he wasn't sure what was happening but he didn't want to see her.Alex immediately went to Alyssa. “ Hey baby doll…how are you feeling?” He asked out of curiosity.“i'm good, don't shout at Lauren” Alyssa said.“Please don't talk Alyssa let Celine get to your doctor first and let her check and be sure you are fine before you start talking” Lauren said calmly.“Yes, don't talk Aly” Alex agreed with Lauren.Celine came in shortly with the doctor and she told everyone to wait out while she checked up on Alyssa.Few minutes later she came out and informed them that Alyssa was fine and she was asking Alex if Alex should go see her.Alex immediately went to see Alyssa. “Hey baby doll, are you asking of me? I'm sorry I
THERE WEEKS LATER A sunny afternoon Alyssa was coming back from the hospital when she went for her check.Immediately she stepped out of the hospital she saw a taxi but as she tried stopping it the taxi took another way so she wanted to cross over to the other side of the road to stop a cab from there as she tried crossing the road a car came with full speed as it hit Alyssa and ran off.Alex who was following Alyssa from a distance all fainted as he watched Alyssa fall to the ground…when he was following her and he saw that she went to the hospital he was wondering what she went to do their but at these moment he couldn't think again he immediately ran to Alyssa who was already unconscious as she laid lifeless on the ground and blood was drip from her head.Alex was so scared he immediately rushed Alyssa back to the hospital.Olivia and Tony stopped the car miles away from the accident so nobody would suspect they did it and they looked at each other and congratulated themselves.To
Few days laterOlivia's friend called her up and informed her about Alyssa. She told her that she saw Alyssa and a lady at the hospital the other day but she wasn't sure which of them was sick and Olivia thanked her friend for the information before hanging up.She called Tony immediately and informed him about the new update that Alyssa wa going to the hospital and she was going with someone, Olivia didn't listen to her mum she joined hands with Tony to bring down Alyssa and Alex and Olivia mum knew about everything but she did not about since Olivia had informed her that they were going to get billions from these and they could run far away with the money.“Alyssa i will be the end of you trust me” Olivia muttered to herself.********“Thanks Lauren…I can't thank you enough for what you have done for me” Alyssa said.“Come on Alyssa don't thank me, I mean you have also stood up from me once so what in the world are you thanking me for” Lauren said as she laid down on the couch.“And
THREE DAYS LATERAlex was done with all he had to do so it was time he traveled back to town to go check up on Alyssa.Alex had told Jake to keep an eye on Alyssa since Alyssa told him.not to stay back that she wouldn't need anyone to protect her Alex told Jake to ensure she doesn't find out that he was keeping a tab on her.For the past three days Alex had buried himself with work so he didn't feel much pain. A huge part of him was still missing Alyssa but as he was working day in day out there was no space for depression.Alex knew that going back to town means he has to seal with his brother annoying schemes and plot and seeing Alyssa form a distance without going to her.It hurts to think about all that but he was prepared, and he hoped he was prepared enough for the worse case scenario.He took off in the morning with some of his bodyguards and arrived almost in the afternoon so he went straight to Alyssa house to inform her get that he was back, Jake had told him that she was at
“I have made up my mind Alex I don't want any treatment! And I don't want to travel to anywhere inside I want to go back home, I mean my house back to town…after reading these letter I know I don't have more than a month left even with the help of drugs do I better make the best out of the days I have left on earth” Alyssa said.“Stop saying that Alex, think about me how do you want me to survive without you Alyssa, I can't live without you Alyssa…you know how much I love you now so why are you doing these why are you saying all these, you are not dying my love am with you we will go through there together” Alex eyes became watery.“But that's my faith Alex and I can't let you change it and I won't allow it affect you Alex” Alyssa said.“And what do you mean by you wouldn't make it affect me?” Alex asked curiously, hoping it was not what he was thinking.“I want to end this Alex, I can't let you go through the pain my dad went through after my mum's Death and I am sure you will be abl
Three Days laterThe past few days have been the best for both Alex and Alyssa and they could both testify to it that they have enjoyed every bit of it. The time they spent together, when they watched movies and ate together, when Alex took Alyssa on a long drive one of the nights and when she prepared a meal for him they enjoyed every bit of it and hoped for more.It was a blissful Saturday morning when Alyssa woke up and decided that she was going to go for a little shopping since she needed a new shoe, Alex wanted to follow her but she told him not to worry since he had lot of work to do since and all thanks to her he was having little time at work during the week so she told him to stay back and work that she wouldn't be long.Alyssa left a few minutes after they had their breakfast together. And Alex went ahead to work since he had a lot of work to do.In an hour time Alyssa was already at the mall, she went with some bodyguard as Alex insisted that he was going to go with her if
—--------EVENING----------- Alyssa was so excited throughout the day that she even decided to prepare dinner since she had her husband for the very first time.She went grocery shopping with Jake and called Mrs Jane to find out what Alex's favourite dish was.She happily prepared his dinner since he had called her to inform her that he would be coming back earlier than usual today.Alex called Alyssa ever second he was free at the office just to heard her voice and Alyssa was so happy about it, she had never been called so frequently by anyone in her life except her aunt when ever she wanted to nag her or ask for her help but expect that she had never been called just to be reminded that she was beautiful and the best thing that has ever happened to someone.Alyssa waited patiently for Alex to come back immediately she was done cooking she went up to her room to take her bath and she got dressed in a simple ware that is a bum shot and a round neck top that suits her skin well. Alex a
“What took you so long to say those words to me, have been dying to hear you say that you love me” Alex said looking into Alyssa's eye.“I still can't believe these Alex, I mean I just hope and not dreaming because if I am then am never going to wake up from.these perfect dream” Alyssa said.“no baby doll, these isn't a dream and I can tell you fot such that I love you. Not only in your dream world but in reality, I have fallen in love with you and everything about you and I don't want to ever loss you to anyone” “And you are never going to lose me to anyone as far as I am alive and breathing” Alyssa replied as she gave Alex a big hug.“How about we watch a movie?” Alyssa suggested to Alex.“Yeah that's just perfect, I will go set up the cinema” Alex said still holding unto Alyssa.“Sure. And I will go grab us some snack from the fridge” Alyssa said.“OK then” Alex was still holding unto Alyssa he didn't want to let go of her as if she was going to run away if he did “ let go Alex am
I LOVE YOU “This woman, her drama never ends,” Alex said to himself.“And what is she doing there?” Alex asked the maid.“No idea sir but I guess she is planning on spending the night there because she went with her pillow and a bed cover” The maid responded respectfully.“OK then, you may take your leave. I will handle it from here on, '' Alex said.“OK sir”Alex dished his food in a Plate as he eat… he had tons of documents he had to go through and sign but also he could think of was Alyssa and why she had suddenly changed towards him, why she keeps saying thing that would hurt his feelings every time he tries been sweet to her, Alex felt like if he didn't open up to Alyssa sooner than later then he might end up regretting it. He knew the contract was going to affect everything but still he didn't care all he wanted was Alyssa and her love the rest are aside for him.Alex finished eating his food and went up to his room to work.“ Oh my God! Where am I going to sleep like this?” Al
