The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again Anything to gain your forgiveness
Chapter 124Raymond's POVThe cool breeze caressed my skin softly as I watched Michael empty the first bottle of vodka and prepare to pour another while he sat by the pool. I decided to stop him from drinking further. "Michael, that's enough," I snapped, dragging the bottle from him as he faced me with a piercing gaze. "How dare you?" he growled."Is this your way of saying sorry for hurting and breaking her heart? How petty of you to do this," I said, smelling the alcohol-filled bottle as I choked on my breath. "How do you manage to drink this?""Just because I brought you into my home doesn't mean we're good. I'll never forgive you for everything you've done," he said, trying to drink from the empty bottle. "Oh, did I drink all of it?" he asked himself, as I watched with my eyes filled with tears. I closed my eyes for a few seconds."I've done everything I can to make you believe me. I mean, everyone hates me now because, in the end, I chose to be with you. And it's perfectly okay

Chapter 123Grandpa's POVIt was vivid in my head, the event from five years ago. Somehow, I had wondered why Ambrose didn't accompany me, and then I felt it was personal. How dare he? I began to dig deep into the deepest part of my room as I finally found the document from the promise decades ago."It still has the authenticity," I whispered, opening it as I had found the paper and everything that was included in the file. My eyes caught the attention of the bracelet, the same bracelet that proves it all about the alliances from the beginning. The same bracelet I had given to Michael, which I noticed had been absent on his wrist. If I couldn't invite him over for a talk, I'd go into his home to visit him instead. Michael needed to know everything about the promises between his great-grandparents."Grandpa, the court officers are against me receiving visitors until the pronouncement of the verdict," Michael said. There was no color on his face as I felt bad and sad. I couldn't bear wa

Chapter 122Freya's POVI could feel Michael's pain as I felt my heart bleeding. Who on Earth would have thought that for five years, Michael had mourned someone who didn't really die? I wanted to avoid him now that we were done. I wanted to act like he didn't matter to me anymore, but I just couldn't."Raymond," I muttered, suddenly seeing him as he entered Jason's car. I wore a smile; Raymond had probably done a good job in deceiving Ambrose. Not long, the courtroom became empty as the officers finally took Michael away. Our eyes met, and just as he always did, he acted like we were total strangers. I wanted to say his name louder, but then, probably it wasn't the best time. I should head over to his home and..."Freya," I turned around as I saw Ambrose directly behind me as I tried to stop a cab. My mood became bitter and sour as I folded my arms around my chest. "How dare you show your face here after everything you've done?" "Is this what you meant when you said you were going t

Chapter 121Michael's POV"Bella!" I whispered as my eyes became glued to her as she walked side by side with a strange man. "Bella!" I called out as everyone stood in shock. Grandpa almost collapsed as Jason held him firmly. But then, I glanced at Ambrose, who gave me a sly smile but later faked it to everyone like he was shocked. Bella hadn't looked in my direction as she kept holding hands with the strange man. The courtroom had turned into a disaster.I knew the judge would have ended the interrogation process and would likely give the verdict. How could something like this come up? "How dare you!" I growled, bouncing towards the strange man's direction, about to eat him up, as I was held firmly by the people present. "Bella, Bella!" I cried, wrestling with the people who had held me.All efforts by the judge to put everyone in order failed. Bella suddenly moved her face in my direction as our eyes locked. I already had tears flowing on my cheek, but then she took her gaze off imm

Chapter 120Michael's POVI closed my eyes as I held my fist tightly, trying to calm my nerves. I forced a smile after the court officers had ordered me to take a step. "Mr. Jason, you're not allowed to accompany the defendant. A car will be provided for him," one of the court officers said to Jason, who had tried to drive me down to the court."Hey, man, you'll be okay," he assured me as I nodded, forcing a smile. Not long afterwards, I was taken in the same car that had brought me down for the bail hearing. The truth was, I had no witnesses for today's trial. I'd only gathered the evidence, which I prayed would make a difference. At a time like this, Ambrose was a desperate man who would definitely seek desperate measures to get what he wanted.I caught sight of Emma as she walked side by side with Alexis and Raymond. I closed my eyes for a while, feeling down and broken. I didn't know why it hurt me to see Raymond again with them. But then, seeing the bandages on his face somehow g

Chapter 119 Raymond's POV"You know, you just have to surrender. There's no way you can beat us. Besides, Michael left you," Alexis mocked as I wrestled to break free from the chains that bound me. I could still feel the pain from Ambrose's beating last night. "If you have nothing else to say, leave," I growled, my face bent towards the floor."Must you do this to yourself? The almighty Raymond bound by chains... this isn't you. Just stop it," she whispered in a breaking voice, but her words were never real, and I wouldn't fall for it. "I'd rather die than do this with you all. You don't know Ambrose just yet; he's going to make you his dog, and he's going to trample on your crown until there's nothing left in you to offer him. And boom, he's going to get rid of you," I said, laughing hysterically as Alexis began shivering in fear."You don't know anything about him. Look, I'll help you escape if you promise to cooperate," she offered. I laughed. "Cooperate? Do I look like I need an

Chapter 118Michael's POV"So, what else have you found out about? How's everything in the office?" I asked Jason as he moved closer to me like he was trying to speak to me discreetly, even when there were only both of us present."The office right now is not in perfect shape. You're losing a lot of investors, and as we speak, Ambrose is on the verge of claiming Smith Tech," Jason said as I closed my eyes for a while."And Grandpa, what is he doing? Did he still trust Ambrose so much after everything that's happening?" "Don't think about stuff like that right now. But then, about your marriage with Freya, I..." "Enough, don't say anything about her." I snapped as Jason's face fell."You have to keep up with the marriage for the meantime. I know tomorrow's the day the contract ends. Yeah, like a dream, but it's freaking six months. But you can't afford to dissolve the marriage amidst the crisis we are right now.""I don't...wanna put Freya in my mess.

Chapter 117Bella's POV"Ahhhhh!" I woke up with a loud scream as I began to shake. I didn't know why, but I had never had this dream for a while now. I glanced at the cinnamon drink as I began to breathe profusely.[Michel killed you! He stabbed you and he killed you] I kept hearing the numerous voices which were ringing in my head. I rolled up my shirt to see the large scar that lay above my upper abdomen."Hey, are you okay?" The door to my room suddenly opened as I shivered from the shock. "Mrs. Cooke, I'm so scared," I whispered as she glanced at the cinnamon drink that was placed on the table, giving me a wild look."That's why your nightmare hasn't ceased. You shouldn't skip these," she said, trying to reach out her hand to hand the drink to me, but I messed it up. I had thrown the cup angrily from her as I felt the noises in my head kept sounding louder. The truth was, I had stopped taking the cinnamon drink for a long time now, except when I was being watched."I don't want t

Chapter 116Freya's POVIt's been three days after reading Naomi's letter. It broke me into pieces that Emma had used us the way she wanted. And now, it was finally time to use her just like she had done. I made sure no one was following and no one would even detect that I was the one. The warm breeze greeted me as I got down from the cab. Funny how a billionaire's wife never got addicted to driving any of the exotic cars in the mansion."Thank you," I said, paying the cab man, who kept giving me unusual looks till I was out of sight. I looked into the letter as I kept following the address to find my right way. I stopped in front of an orphanage home; I wondered why she had sought refuge here."Ma'am, would you like me to give you a hand?" One of the children who were playing soccer suddenly ran towards me as I revealed a smile. I had disguised myself as an old woman, which probably felt so awkward to me. "Hey, my child," I said, moving closer to the young boy as he stared at me so

Michael's rules
Chapter 1Freya's POVI stood frozen, my eyes fixed on the grand staircase as my life flashed before me. I had vowed never to get involved with rich and influential men like Michael Smith, the billionaire I had just married. But life had other plans."Miss Rogers, we don't really have to maintain an intimate relationship when we're alone," Michael said, his voice piercing through my thoughts. "The contract doesn't apply except when a third party is involved."I turned to face him, my heart sinking. His words were cold and detached, his eyes devoid of emotion. I forced a reply, trying to keep my tone neutral. "Oh, yes."Michael's gaze swept over me, his eyes lingering on my face before he turned to leave. I watched, feeling a surge of resentment, as he ridiculed me with his towering height."Mr. Smith," I called out, my voice firm but polite. He paused, his back still turned to me."Where's my room?" I asked, trying to keep my tone even. "You didn't show me my room."Michael turned, hi...
