The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again Freya's scars
Chapter 34Freya's povI had decided to visit my mother before heading home to Michael."My child, you shouldn't have lied about everything, what you did for me," my mom said as I cried, squeezing her warm hand tightly. My mom was getting better now, and I was so glad."I'm so sorry, mom. It's only for six months. After six months, everything will go back to how it was," I spoke so softly as she raised her hand, wiping the little tears off my face. "Mom, I'm so glad you're okay. I mean, look at you. Naomi really did a wonderful job in caring for you. I really...""That's why I want you to stop stressing the poor girl. Get married and bear a grandchild for me," my mom snapped with a frown on her face as my mouth opened suddenly, never expecting their words from her."C'mon, mum. Even if I bear a child, there's no way that child would be able to watch over you all of a sudden," I paused, "besides, I'm not ready for that right now," I said, my voice trailing off."My child," my mom calle

Chapter 35Freya's POVI kept waiting for Michael to finish his statement. I knew there was nothing sensible about his words. Michael was like a wind tossed back and forth. He'll act so lovely a minute, and the next, he's back to his usual behavior. I knew how hurt he must be to have lost his sister, to have no one by his side who loved him genuinely. But couldn't he see the fact that I was willing to do anything for him? Even if it meant staying with him, getting used to his cold ways, and assuring him that I'll be there for him. But then, he hurt me.To Michael, I was Freya Rogers, his contract wife. "Freya...I'm not really the type to say sorry," he started, staring at me as my inner self got soaked with shock. I mean, Michael Smith will never say sorry. Not even for a god. "But, I'm sorry for...I mean, not like you're right. You left the office without a word. You never picked up your phone despite my endless calls, and then you walked in late, which made me flare up. I mean, not

Chapter 36Micahel's POVAs I burst into the room, my eyes landed on Freya Rogers, her clothe lying on the floor. My initial reaction was a mix of surprise and embarrassment, but that quickly gave way to concern. "Are those scars?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.I felt a pang of remorse for being hard on her earlier. I wanted her to apologize, but seeing her like this made me realize that I needed to be the one to make amends. But I was glad she had forgotten her bag, which gave me the perfect excuse to see her alone. A man like me would have normally called Mrs. Cooke to return the bag, but I didn't want to miss this opportunity.As I gazed at Freya, I couldn't help but notice the scars on her body. They should have irritated me, but instead, they seemed to draw me in. I felt an overwhelming urge to touch her, to run my fingers over the scars and explore her petite body. It was as if I had lost all sense of reason and control.But then I remembered who she was - my wife, t

Chapter 37Michael's POVThe beating of my heart accelerated as I held my chest, sending tension through my body as I closed my eyes. I hadn't been able to focus on work for the past three days due to Jason's absence from work after the news of his sister's kidnapping."Michael," Freya called from outside, and I knew how worried she had been these past few days. I had rejected Mrs. Cooke's meals, and at one point, I lost my temper with Freya. But here she was, worried about me."I know you don't want me here now, and you want to be alone. But Michael, you have to eat something. In an hour's time, we'll go over to Grandpa's. You shouldn't look like this, and..." Her words were cut off the moment I opened the door. I mean, she didn't think I'd actually open it; I'd been by myself since Jason shared the news. Jason was someone I could die for."Michael..." she called as I left the door open and went back to my position. Freya walked into my room, her gaze never leaving mine."Any news fr

Chapter 38Michael's POV"Jason..." I called out, my voice breaking as I watched him take the empty space beside Emma. My heart shattered as the truth finally hit me - Jason had betrayed me. Had Ambrose perhaps manipulated him into helping him search for Maggie?"Isn't this Jason Anderson, Michael's secretary?" Grandpa asked, averting his gaze to my side as I remained too stunned to utter a word. My gaze rested on Jason's expression, but I couldn't decipher his emotions. Had he been stabbing me in the back all along, or was he being threatened? I had faith in Jason; he would never hurt me."So, young man, why are you here? What do you have for us?" Grandpa asked, his eyes narrowing slightly. Freya and I locked eyes for a moment, and she gave me an encouraging nod, which I reciprocated. For now, I realized that Freya, the strange woman I had once rejected, was the only one I could trust."Grandpa, Michael turned his company into a mess," Ambrose explained, "and as I speak, these invest

Chapter 39Freya's POVI couldn't hold back my emotions anymore. Michael couldn't face this alone, and it was time I did something for him. We needed to uncover Ambrose's weakness; he had gone too far this time. But Michael had just asked me to leave, and then...."What did you just say, Freya Rogers?" Michael asked, his voice filled with surprise and a hint of impatience. I felt a flush rise to my cheeks, embarrassed by my impulsive confession."And what exactly do you know about love?" Michael snapped, his eyes flashing with pain and anger. "Just because we're playing a game doesn't mean we're in love. You don't know anything... nothing." His words cut deep, but I stood my groun, not faltering."You're wrong," I said, my voice coming out quietly. "I may not have had a beautiful love story, but one thing I know about love is that you'll always be there for each other, sharing each other's pain." Michael shook his head, like he wasn't agreeing with my words."That's not love," he sai

Chapter 40 Freya's POVI stared deeply into Jason's message, and a part of me felt relieved that he was still with us. Probably, he had a reason for his actions. But from now on, I wouldn't take anything lightly.Without changing my clothes, I decided to head to the office. There were things I needed to do, especially since Micahel had been feeling down. Not long after, I arrived at the office and saw Ruby, whose face was filled with surprise and shock."Mrs. Smith, you shouldn't have stressed yourself," she said, revealing a forced smile. I reciprocated the smile, trying to appear calm. She shouldn't know what I was up to. That I'd find out she was the spy."Yeah, something came up. I need to rectify things and do what I can," I spoke, and she nodded, preparing to leave. But then she paused."Mrs. Smith," she called, and I paused, wondering why she had called my attention."How's the boss doing? I mean, after everything Jason did. I never liked that Jason," she said, and my eyes nar

Chapter 41Michael's POVI couldn't even face Freya. Why had she added to my restlessness? Of all days, why would she confess her feelings to me? She never meant the words. She only said it so she could stay a while with me.I finally got out of my room after a few hours of drowning in heartbreak. I waited patiently, hoping Jason's call would come in and tell me everything that had happened earlier was just a prank. But then, it seemed I hadn't laid eyes on Freya since she confessed her feelings. I wondered where she had gone to. I hoped she didn't take my words seriously and had left my mansion.The truth was, I didn't know how I'd feel when Freya leaves. "Mrs. Cooke," I called, watching her chop vegetables as I stood, staring everywhere like I was searching for something."Michael," she replied. I'd always scolded her whenever she tried to do the 'boss' thing with me."Do you need anything?" she added, taking her hands off the vegetables as she approached me."No, no, I'm okay. I me

Chapter 115Freya's POV I didn't think I'd ever slept so well in weeks. I could barely sleep at our new home, where we had secretly moved to. Besides, Mom had confirmed that Grandpa had offered her VIP treatment. I glanced at my phone; it was past eight, and there had been no calls from Michael."Hey, you're okay? Seems like you've just seen a ghost," I froze as I turned around to see Jason bringing in a glass of warm milk. "I'm not hungry; you can take it back," I said, my expression stern, as he took a deep breath. "I still need to follow the boss's order," he said, as I frowned my face. "I don't care about the boss's order," I snapped, almost going back into my room, as Jason swiftly made a move that stopped me from walking away."Freya, I know it's hard for you, and I know how angry you are. But the boss risked his life and everything last night," he said, as I bit my lips, acting like it didn't mean anything to me. "Michael has been restricted and placed under house arrest unti

Chapter 114Ambrose POVThe wine glass shattered against the wall as I paced around my secret room. "Bring him to me now," I growled, ending the call as I began to think of various punishments I'd give to Raymond. How dare he disrupt my plans? There was no way I'd let Freya get to Michael successfully. No one would ever suspect where I'd hidden her old phone, no one.It was past ten when I realized they were present. My eyes were filled with anger as Alexis and I locked eyes. "How dare you? Emma would have done better than you. I gave you a simple task, and all you needed to do was to take them to the penthouse as safely as you could. You dare fall for Raymond's trick?" I asked as she began to shiver in fear."You still think of him even after everything he's done? He's a traitor, and you dare make irrational moves?" I asked, my voice echoing through the four corners of the grand room. She didn't say a word; all she did was make quiet crying sounds, which only grated on my nerves more

Chapter 113Freya's POVI kept holding the cellphone tightly as I felt my limbs almost breaking from running so fast. The penthouse, which looked familiar to me, suddenly felt like a different place as I didn't know what direction to take. Right now, Ambrose and his men would probably be searching for me to get the phone; for now, I needed to hide instead of running helplessly.But then, I needed to call Jason. At moment, Jason might be the only one who could help me. "Oh, no, no," I cried, realizing that I had run out of battery. "Fuck this," I wept, still trying everything in me to run as fast as I could. I began to wonder what might have happened to Raymond. But then, I had to get to safety in order to save him.The sound of gunshot was heard again as I began to shiver. I fell, not realizing something was blocking my path, but then, I got up immediately. I wondered why no one was walking along the road, and somehow, everything looked like it had been staged.********Michael's POV

Chapter 112Raymond's POVFew hours earlier"Hey, what have you got in there? Do you really know the penthouse like you said?" I asked, trying my best to make my voice as low as I could. "Yeah, of course I do. But then, I don't want to act like I do. Remember I've been stupid to Alexis and Ambrose. Right now, they all think I'm a fool because of the drink," Freya said as I nodded, moving closer to her."Hey, do you still recognize the color of the drink and everything?" "Of course," she said, glancing at the open windows. "The sun will set soon. What on Earth have you got in there to cut these loose ropes?" She asked as I shook my head. She took a deep breath, trying to cut the rope from a sharp corner, but that might not be a good idea."Hey, I think your hairpin should do," I said as she looked at me like she had doubted my words. "Are you crazy? This isn't a movie, Raymond. This is reality. How do you expect a freaking hairpin to cut a strong, durable, synthetic material like th

Chapter 111Michael's POV "Jason, any news from Freya yet?" I asked as Jason shook his head slowly."Don't worry, man. She'll be okay," Jason assured. "Probably, she went to get a lot of evidence. She'll never betray you like Emma had done," Jason reminded me as I gritted my teeth and tightened my fist. I would never have believed that Emma would actually betray me to the point of testifying against me. It was something I didn't want to think about."There's something I want to ask you, Michael," Jason said as I made no facial reaction."What about it?" I asked curtly."You didn't mention the fact that Bella's remains weren't the one underneath the grave. I mean, shouldn't that have lessened the charges?" Jason asked as I smiled."Jason, I might be implicating myself if I had done that," I replied."Implicate? How do you mean?" he asked surprisingly, his eyes suddenly bulging out."There are certain steps which may be considered as the right thing, but they might just be a bait. You

Chapter 110Ambrose POV"Ambrose, will he be okay? I mean, the medical team hasn't tended to his wounds," Alexis said as we both stood by the doorway, watching Raymond and Freya as they both lay unconscious."He's a traitor. You shouldn't care about him. The moment he left us and sided with Michael, I abandoned him, and I'd want you to do the same," I said, my words firm, as she nodded."Are you really sure about not giving Raymond the drink? I mean...""No one should know anything about the drink. For now, only Freya deserves it. She already knows too much, far more than Raymond," I replied."But then... How on Earth was she able to retrieve her old phone? Don't you think you're making everything easy for her by letting her live? The trial will proceed in two weeks, Ambrose. I hope you're doing the right thing by keeping her alive," Alexis said as I was quiet for a while.The truth was, I've always wanted to eliminate Freya from the moment she fell in love with Michael. But then, I d
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again The secrets of Ambrose Jenkins
Chapter 109Freya's POVI've spent twenty minutes hiding from the domestic workers. I knew I had no time left, as Ambrose would return anytime soon. "The boss will be here in a few moments, come on out. I know you're in here," one of the workers asked in a deep baritone voice.I placed my palm over my mouth, trying not to shout. My petite frame was already tired from the little space behind the picture frame in which I had squeezed myself."Adams, there's something in my room," I could hear Waylen's voice from outside. I closed my eyes deeply. I didn't want my boy to be implicated."I'll be there right now. Probably the intruder had hidden there." I could hear the sound of his voice fading, and not long after, the door was locked from behind.I took a deep breath as I got out of my hiding place. "Fuck! The damn door is locked. How do I get out of here?" I asked, exhausted, as my throat became dry. I gulped down the large quantity of the water water I had brought along.Raymond had to
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again While there is time
Chapter 108Ambrose's POVI could barely concentrate after the phone call from my apartment. How could every one of my domestic workers be so stupid as not to have caught an intruder? I was going to make them pay. But then, I couldn't get out of here soon. The judge would begin the bail hearing speech, and I couldn't afford to miss such a wonderful moment. I glanced towards Michael's direction as I revealed a sly smile. The outburst of happiness within me just couldn't be depleted. I had watched Michael as he sat hopelessly on the defense seat, and I wondered how well the seat suited him. He should look for possible means to secure that spot instead of competing with me; he was no match for me. Freya was nowhere to be found. Poor Michael, his first love had sided with me, and Freya had abandoned him as soon as he got arrested."So," the judge began not long after. I revealed a smile, the very moment I had waited for. "After careful consideration and review of the testimony presen
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again The playroom
Chapter 107Freya's POVI had successfully maneuvered myself into the gate, unnoticed. Somehow, the staff uniform I had disguised myself in somehow managed to fit. I made sure to follow all of Raymond's instructions as I somehow found my way to the secret door. I never had any idea that a secret passage existed in Ambrose's home. After my mission, I was going to use the opportunity to see what lay in Ambrose's secret room."Go in, watch that boy, and don't ever let him out of your sight," one of the domestic workers said to another as I hid perfectly behind a wall, trying my best not to reveal myself. I exhaled after holding my breath for a while. I could see three surveillance cameras from where I was, but I needed to do something to distract their attention. And then, I remembered the fire alarm."Oh, shit!" I muttered, hitting a piece of metal, which perhaps caught the attention of Julia, Waylen's nanny, as she paused, heading towards the direction where I had hidden. "Dear Lord,
