Chapter 79

Michael's POV

I watched in shock as Ambrose's lips locked with Freya's, and for a moment, I felt like disappearing into thin air. To think that Freya not only used me to make him jealous but also rode with him to Grandpa's home. She had been spending time with him, and who knows why she was also invited here. She had already told Ambrose about our divorce case.

I closed my eyes, trying to reflect on how she had made a fool out of me. How she had used me to make Ambrose jealous, and now, they were sharing a kiss right beside me.

"How dare you?" I heard her say, raising her hand to hit Ambrose's face, who held it, looking deep into her eyes. My subconscious self wanted to make a move, drag Ambrose's hand away from her, and give him a hard punch. But then, I reminded myself that it was their problem, not mine. Freya only acted this way so she could feel less embarrassed.

"Oh, now you don't want to kiss me anymore because Michael's here? He's my little brother; he shouldn't ste

  • The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again   Ally of two sides

    Chapter 80Raymond's POVI couldn't shake off the words of the woman at the airport as I lay my head softly on my bed. "I'm sorry, Mister Raymond, there was no record of any Mr. Ambrose Jenkins boarding our plane on that time five years ago."My mind was racing with questions. If Ambrose didn't board the plane that day, where was he, and where did he probably disappear to? He began to reach out to me a few months after Bella's death. As much as Ambrose had told me a lot of things alongside knowing a lot about him, he had never told me everything that went wrong on that day.Had I made a mistake in revealing my anger to him too soon? I began to ponder these thoughts when I heard the ringing of my phone. I had promised to end the call if it had anything to do with the debts I was owing. But then, it happened to be Ambrose, and a smile formed on my lips. Maybe I could use this moment to do what I had in mind."Hey, you bloody fool. Come get me out here. I'm at your home," he said, his vo

  • The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again   Underneath the grave

    Chapter 81Raymond's POVThe familiar scent of Michael's apartment greeted me, and I realized that ever since Alexis and I were driven from his home, this was the first time I was visiting. I had always seen him at his office.As I walked a few steps over to make my presence known to him, the door of his room opened, and together with him was Jason, his lookalike best friend. Jason could pass for Michael's brother rather than Ambrose."Hi, Michael?" I greeted, trying my best to appear as normal as I could. I was tense; I had no intentions of giving anyone my full loyalty, especially Ambrose. I began to think of how I would make this decision of mine a wise move. I wouldn't want to do anything to appear suspicious in Michael's eyes, at least, he appreciated my effort."Hey, get over here, let's talk," Michael said to me as he walked ahead of us, going over to one of the empty rooms I had never visited. The door creaked open as Michael walked in first. I could see a big black box as I w

    Chapter 82Michael's POVI couldn't stop thinking about Jason's idea. It was a good suggestion, one I had thought of myself, but I didn't think I could swallow my pride and go to Freya, begging for her help. "Don't you think you need to talk to her? She might know something too," Jason's last words echoed in my mind as I took a deep breath.Before I knew it, I had decided to go to her home. I had promised myself I wouldn't get swayed by the rolling of her eyes or the biting of her lips. I kept reminding myself that I didn't love her anymore. Yet, I felt guilty for distancing myself from her little boy, Waylen. He was never involved in any of this...............As I stood outside her door, I took a deep breath and knocked. Just then, Freya's mom called out from inside, "Freya, honey, I think you forgot your medicine." My heart sank, realizing Freya wasn't home. And then, I began to wonder if Freya was perhaps ill?"Freya?" her mom called out again, this time with a hint of questioni

    Chapter 83Freya's POV"What...what did you just say?" I stopped, my heart suddenly constricting upon hearing Michael's words. It might have been a mistake. There was no way Michael would love a woman like me. Probably, there was something wrong with my eardrum."Did you really hate me that much? Did you really hate Michael that you were so eager for the divorce?" Michael asked, a smile forming at the corner of his lips."Really? I should be asking you that question. Almighty Michael hates Freya so much that he didn't even hesitate to shut me out of his life completely," I fired, my emotions taking control of me.He laughed, and I wondered what was so funny because I didn't think I was making a joke."Now you're being dramatic. I'm sure you've heard everything earlier, and then, you probably want me to look you in the eyes and explain myself. Well," he paused, giving me a long stare, his face brightly filled with smiles, which partially made me blush as I avoided eye contact with him.

    Chapter 84A change of tasteEmma's POVI clenched my phone tightly, my voice barely above a whisper as I muttered Freya's name, my lips curling in disgust. How dare she go back on her words? I had specifically warned her never to cross me, and I was willing to provide her with everything she needed to leave the country."Freya!" I exclaimed, my anger boiling over as I hurled my phone at the wall, watching in satisfaction as it shattered into a hundred pieces. My gaze fell upon the delicate flower vases and champagne bottle on the glass table, and I couldn't contain my emotions as I began to destroy each item, the sound of shattering glass and ceramic echoing through the room.How dare Michael hurt me so badly? I fumed with rage, my chest heaving with each ragged breath. I had abandoned my family and purchased a new home just to be with him, and this was how he repaid me? By turning a blind eye and pursuing a destitute local whore?I was determined to make them pay, as I stormed out

  • The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again   She's my fool, my pet, and my puppet.

    Chapter 85Ambrose POVA smile formed on my lips as I watched Raymond from the penthouse. I knew he probably had some news for me. Since the last time, I hadn't seen him. I also couldn't stop thinking about the conference meeting I had earlier. Michael would have no choice but to let go of his company. Everything was ready: the witnesses, his negligence to work, breaking the law, and getting into a contract marriage. All of it would be used - the messages from the bug and..."Sir, Mr. Raymond is waiting on the third floor. Should I call him over or would you go to him?" A frown formed on my face as I gave the maid a wild look."Do you realize no one comes up to the penthouse? Get your freaking ass out there and tell him to wait for me!" I fired, as she left at once. I had lots of mansions in the city, amongst them was my special penthouse. The last time I spent the night was four years ago, during my time with Freya. Now, I couldn't stop thinking about all of Emma's features. I couldn

    Chapter 86Freya's POVTwo days laterThe meeting between Michael's grandfather and me continually left me stunned. I couldn't look him in the eyes as he had declared that he didn't want a woman like me anymore. As I walked tiredly out of his compound, I met Michael's white car in front, probably waiting to take me home. My heart began to bleed as I couldn't take my gaze off his adorable face. Tears began to fall from my eyes as I fought within me never to let them fall, but somehow, they fell."Freya," Michael called, realizing that I didn't acknowledge his presence or reveal a smiling face. I didn't flinch as I kept walking; I guess this time, Michael and I weren't meant to be."Freya," Michael called again, his voice more audible behind me. He had probably gotten out of the car. I closed my eyes tightly as I felt his hand against mine, stopping me from walking further."You had a meeting with Grandfather, and you didn't tell me?" he asked, but I didn't reply. I didn't even know how

    Chapter 87Michael's POV"You sure do know the consequences of what you're about to do, Michael?" Grandpa's voice kept echoing as I didn't say a word. My heart and mind were in turmoil as I had just given it up for Freya. She had done so much for me; she had gone through so much for me. I needed to do something for her."Michael," she called, moving over to me as I looked away from her. My heart was pierced by Grandpa's sudden decree. Freya's hand slowly rested around me for an embrace, and somehow, I needed that embrace at the moment. As she tried to pull off, I didn't let her, as I kept scenting the sweet fragrance from her hair. I remained there, wondering how I was going to let everyone realize that the only mistake we made was loving eachother genuinely."Did he...change his mind?" She asked, her voice filled with concern, but I pretended not to hear. I didn't want to hurt her feelings; if I told her what I put up for her, she would not hesitate to leave me.

    Chapter 137Ambrose's POV"You animal!" she fired as she struggled with my hand holding her tightly."Everyone's waiting... just say the damn yes!" My voice echoed as I dragged her towards the direction of a man who was seated quietly, holding a Bible and a cross."Reverend, bless our marriage... she said yes," I said, my voice coming out unsteadily as Freya battled with me to let her go."Let her go, Ambrose. That's enough."I turned around to see Raymond, barely on his feet with his eyes glued to mine."You, I thought my boys shut you up already?" I asked, moving closer to him as I released my grip on Freya."Surrender, Ambrose. The cops will be here and there's no way to avoid this anymore... you have to let go, Ambrose."I laughed loudly, giving him a long stare as I dragged his cheek with my left hand."You're being too nosy. This isn't your fight. Don't you dare act like you're better than I am.""Your son's watching, please..." he begged as I suddenly looked in the direction of

    Chapter 136Raymond's POVThe weight of Freya's words kept taking my attention away. I closed my eyes for a while, thinking deeply about whether letting her go alone was the right thing to do. Somehow, I wondered if Jason was right about it all. I rolled my eyes, bringing myself back from the trance."You'll have a whole lot to explain to Michael. He just told me to keep Freya with me, that he was going to settle things with the officers," Jason said, his voice seeming to disrupt the awful silence that grew between us."Are you serious about what you said the other time?" I asked softly as he tried to play dumb. "Come on, Jason, you know what I'm talking about. Did Michael really come visit Freya alone and... the presents?" He nodded his head gently as I took a deep sigh."I mean... Freya had rejected the whole present, thinking it was from her mysterious husband. She even got into a fight with her mom... oh God," I said in deep regret. "But then... Michael only wanted to see her face

    Chapter 135 Freya's POV"What did you say?" Raymond asked, his eyeballs suddenly widening as I took a deep breath with my eyes closed. "Wait, did you both..." He paused as I felt so shy about giving him a response. He turned around, trying to go back to Jason, as I grabbed his hand firmly, preventing him from moving."What the hell are you doing?" I asked, my voice shaking. "Of course, we need to tell it to Jason. I can't keep this from him.""What do you mean? Michael's getting married, and I really don't want this baby to... come into his marriage," I said, and somehow, I could see the resignation in his expression."You could hurt the baby, you know?" He whispered as I shook my head, trying to be strong. "I'll be fine. Just go be with Jason and wait," I said as he nodded. "Be careful," he warned before leaving as I wiped away the little tears that had plastered on my face.A few moments later, I found myself in front of a beautiful yet small house. I doubted this was where Ambros

    Chapter 134Freya's POVI began to shake as we drove down a lonely bush path. Raymond held my hands in assurance, but it felt like that wasn't enough. I wanted more than just that... I needed Michael's warm embrace, I needed to feel his warm breath on me whispering to me that everything would be okay."Jason," I called as he replied with his eyes still fixed on the road as he drove with his cellphone mounted in front, which guided him with the direction. "Is... is... Michael coming already?" I asked, my voice so low, but I didn't think I needed to appear like I was fine without him. "Yes, Freya... Michael's coming." I nodded as I fixed my eyes on the wristwatch again as a private number appeared again as the caller ID. I picked it up immediately, fully aware that it was Ambrose."Hey... do you really not care about your mother? How aged she is that she can't even withstand the cold on her?" he mocked as he laughed loudly while my hand shook while holding the cellphone, but I tried

    Chapter 133Michael's POVI couldn't stop myself from banging the laptop that was placed in front of me aggressively on the office desk, not caring about anything. The thought of seeing Freya so comfortable without me by her side, her sudden closeness with Raymond, and how she didn't even realize that I had stopped her from going out there because I still cared for her. "You're so stupid, so stupid," I muttered, closing my eyes to take a deep breath when Grandpa's call came into my phone. "Grandpa," I finally said after the third ring, as I heard him clear his throat from the receiver end. I wondered why he had called; it was always about the damn marriage."Haven't you seen the news? Where did Ambrose take the little boy and his grandmother to?" he asked, and I detected panic in his voice. "You should hurry over and do something quick," he said, as I let out a low chuckle. How on Earth did he get to know about it? "Grandpa, why do you suddenly care about the Rogers?" I asked, and

I'm here already, and there's no way I'm going to sit back and watch you all go without me," I said, my eyes locking onto Michael's, who didn't say a word but kept his focus on Raymond. "Raymond, we need to get to Grandpa," I said, almost going closer, as Michael stepped in between. His towering height once more intimidated me as he gave me a long, piercing gaze. "I will not let you go on that road in search of them; I won't ever allow that," Michael said authoritatively, as I couldn't stop myself from laughing. "What on earth does he take me for right now?" I thought. I refused to be stupid, not to him nor Ambrose. "Dare me if you can, Mr. Michael Smith Jenkins," I said in gritted teeth as I moved closer to him, like I was daring him for a challenge. "May I have a moment with her, please?" he said softly, as the two nodded about leaving while I moved closer to Raymond, still locking eyes with him. "We

We need to chase him...we need to go over to Grandpa and...""Freya, I'll do everything I can to make sure your mother and son are safe. Trust me on this," he assured as I paced around restlessly before going to check my phone, which lay motionless on the floor. "Oh, thank God. It isn't broken," I whispered, trying to call the same number as Raymond watched me with anger in his eyes. "Damn!! The number isn't going through.""We have to take this to Jason; he should find a way to track his location," he said as I paused for a while. "Will you be fine? I mean, some publication was made to show that...some..." I stammered on my words, not knowing how he was going to take it. "That I once worked with Ambrose," he said, nodding his head slowly. "It's just that...I don't want you out there for me, Raymond.""They're right. The med

I wasted no time watering my very own plant that was placed beside my chair. Here I was, complete, as I closed my eyes for a while before retiring to the chair."Boss," Jason called as soon as he placed a knock on the door, and my expression turned sour. The word 'boss' was very foreign, hearing it from a friend I took more than a brother."Where is he? Have you found him?" I asked, my palm on my face as I took a deep breath."Have you reported the message he sent to you to the cops? I've tried tracking down the message, but somehow, I can't get any signal," he said as I stood, narrowing my eyes as I kept staring outside the window, like I could get a hint from there."And Raymond? Have you found him?""Since your release, we don't know where he is either. Somehow, dude hasn't forgiven himself about everything that had happened. He think
