The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again Who could this friend be?
Chapter 49Ambrose's POVMy heart began to beat faster as I moved closer to Freya. Her words suddenly interested me, and I felt Freya might be more than a threat. How dare she utter such words? No one knew the most private place in my home, except Freya."What did you just say?" I fired, moving closer to her as she kept trying to run. "How dare you blab and say such nonsense. Besides, why would I have Bella's necklace?" I asked, reading her facial expressions. Freya was smarter than I thought, and I knew she was probably suspicious of me. But no one would believe her; no one knew she existed."How would you have known Bella's bracelet when you didn't even know her? While I was screwing you, she was already dead," I said lowly, staring deep into her eyes as I made every attempt to make her anger intensify. "Besides, you don't even have proof of what you're saying?" Who will believe a word from you? Not even Michael would."Did you...know anything about Bella's death? Ambrose, please,"

Chapter 50Freya's POVI knocked twice on Michael's door, holding my treatment kits tightly. He ushered me in, and I gazed around his room, my eyes drawn to the spot where Emma's portrait once hung. A faint, nostalgic smile crossed my face as I remembered how he never put it back after she betrayed him."So, will you keep staring at only God knows what, or .." he paused, his gaze resting on the box I carried. "What the hell is that?" he asked, with curiousity and amusement. I smiled, walking over to take a seat on the bed as he stood, placing his hand over his chest and watching me."Sit down," I said, smiling broadly, as I pushed a strand of hair away from my face. Michael remained standing, narrowing his gaze at me. I laughed, feeling a flutter in my chest."Freya, what are you up to?" Michael asked, his voice low and husky."Come on, it's a first aid kit. Have you looked at yourself in the mirror?" I replied."Yeah, in fact, I looked like the one and only billionaire Michael Smith,

Chapter 51Ambrose's POVI sank comfortably into the plush sofa in the sitting room, facing Raymond and Alexis. Tomorrow was the day Grandpa would finally lift the sole beneficiary title off Michael's head. He wouldn't be able to cope with the responsibilities. Despite his vast wealth and real estate empire, he would never get his hands on that life-changing inheritance. Never!"So, everything is finalized," Alexis said, her voice bringing me back to reality. "It's just so sad that Ruby got arrested. I mean, it's difficult knowing the ins and outs of Michael's affairs right now." She added, as I took a deep breath, my mind refocusing."Yeah, I bailed her out already," I said. "But she's no longer welcome in Michael's company." I mentally cursed her for being so irrational and thoughtless."Ruby's so stupid," Raymond cut in. "How dare she barge into your estate without alerting you? And the maid, how could she be so stupid to..." I cut him off, as I was losing my patience."Raymond!"

Chapter 52Michael's pov"Hey, will you be okay tonight or do you want me to drive you home? The last time it rained, you ended up like victims of..." Jason started, but I cut him off."Cut it off! That happened as a result of Freya's driving mess. She's just so clumsy and restless," I said, interrupting Jason's speech as I put on my cufflinks. My tone was laced with irritation, but Jason's next words caught me off guard."Really? Like you never enjoyed her restlessness these few days of her at the office. C'mon, Michael, you need to see how alive you are with Freya by your side. That woman is a miracle," Jason said, his voice filled with amusement. For a moment, I was taken aback, and I didn't argue. I had to admit, Freya was like a breath of fresh air. She had a way of making people smile."Do you really have to end it with her after the contract expires? Come on, she's single, and so are you. She might not have the kind of height or hair color you want, but then... I feel it in me

Chapter 53Michael's POVI kept wondering what Raymond was up to. Was it perhaps some kind of trick? Or was it rather some kind of plot? I fixed my gaze on him, multiple feelings swirling up my mind. But then, I could sense from within me that he was hiding some kind of pain, but I didn't mind."What do you want? Why are you here?" I asked, my face firm as Freya slowly walked over to my side, probably as a hiding place. "I can help you take down Ambrose," he said, as I narrowed my eyes, looking deep into his face like I was searching for answers."And why would you want to do that? Have you forgotten I'm Michael, and then, haven't you always wanted my downfall? May I demand why you had the guts to barge into my office, disturbing my beautiful wife and me?" I asked, as I momentarily locked eyes with Freya. I couldn't stop staring at her as I closed my eyes, shaking off the erotic thought that had just popped into my mind."And what exactly do you plan to do this time?" I asked, my word

Chapter 54Emma's POVI couldn't stop thinking that Freya and Ambrose had a history together. I couldn't stop thinking of how he detected her hatred for potatoes the very day we had a family dinner at Grandpa's. And then, he had her phone as his possession. I could remember his facial expressions when he looked into the phone since that day. And then, I'd intentionally mentioned Freya's name a few times in our conversation just to see his expression, and I wasn't disappointed. Something more than a mere coincidence was happening here, and I was going to reveal all hidden secrets."Aunt Emma?" Waylen's voice broke me from my thoughts as I rested my gaze on him, trying to picture something that I couldn't detect. Was there a way Freya would have given birth to a child like Waylen? They didn't look anything similar. I knew this was probably thoughtless of me. Besides, Ambrose wouldn't have looked at a woman like Freya."Oh, my boy, how are you doing? It's raining out there. The weather i

Chapter 55Freya's POV"Was he going to watch another woman die again on a rainy day, or do something this time?" I wondered, still lying motionlessly, thinking of several ways to avoid the oncoming car. But somehow, I kept hoping that Michael would come to save me; at least, if I mattered to him like he did to me. "Freya, are you crazy! There's a car coming!" I could hear his voice, but it felt like it was from a distance; he still hid himself inside the car. My mind began to beat faster as the truck had gotten only a few meters away from me before it started honking, and the rain kept pouring down relentlessly. I closed my eyes deeply, thinking of how hurt everything made me; Michael not lifting a hand nor... A lump formed in my throat."How dare you, are you crazy?" Michael's voice came out in a loud and angry tone as I was dragged immediately from the soaked floor. I had my eyes closed, feigning everything perfectly, as I could hear the movement of the vehicle speeding past us.

Chapter 56Michael's POVI might have tried to ignore everything when Freya laid motionlessly on the floor. But then, seeing an incoming vehicle from afar brought back the memories and the vivid picture of that fateful night when my brakes had suddenly failed me. The pain and guilt I had carried for so long came flooding back.But then, something shifted inside me. Freya had somehow given me the strength to move on. Meeting Freya was indeed a miracle to me. Her words began to touch vital parts of my soul, awakening emotions I thought I had long buried................Right now, after spending a few minutes with her and sharing feelings together, I couldn't stop wanting to know what her statement meant when she said she didn't want to fall in love again. Although Freya and I were on the same page about not giving our hearts to the opposite sex, I guessed our bodies and feelings had suddenly betrayed us.I wanted to touch her, feel her delicate body in my hands, and then... make love t

The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again Marriage or Mother?
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
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again So it was him
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
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again The second woman
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

Chapter 132 The weight of my words Freya's POV "Yeah, that won't be necessary. 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

Chapter 131Freya's POV"Raymond," I called, my voice shaking as I staggered on my feet before I felt his hand holding me from falling. "Ambrose is a psychopath. 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

Chapter 130Michael's POVI walked into my office for the first time in a while, smiling as I took a deep breath of the familiar air that greeted me. 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
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again We are Screwed
Chapter 129Alexis' POVIt's been two days since Michael's freedom, and the whole city was speaking about him. I couldn't stop thinking about Raymond's words to me; I found them ridiculous. There was no way I was going to surrender. Either way, I needed to speak with Ambrose; we needed to have a better plan. Michael's wedding was the talk of the town; we couldn't let him get married and reclaim the inheritance........................."What did you say? Do you mean Ambrose fled without informing me?" I asked as Mrs. Cooke nodded her head slowly few moments after I made ways into Ambrose's home. I tried everything I could to control myself."And Emma? I guess that bitch had probably flown to Hungary...""Mr. Ambrose left with his son. I haven't heard from him since the final trial. What do we do? I'm so scared," Mrs. Cooke shivered as I closed my eyes for a moment."We have no time left. Ambrose is gone. Have you tried calling Emma?" I asked, trying to act strong as Mrs. Cooke tried c
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again The verdict
Chapter 128Michael's POVI was uneasy, my hands drumming unstoppably on my thigh as I kept adjusting my tie every few seconds. Like I'd told her, Freya wasn't present. Not only was she not present, I couldn't find Ambrose either. But then, I locked eyes with Emma, who took them away as soon as they collided; perhaps guilty."Shall we begin the final trial of Mr. Michael Smith?" the judge announced a few minutes after everyone had stood to acknowledge his presence. I rested my gaze on Jason, who shook his head in a way that told me not to push through with the plans I had in mind. I waved it off with a smile as I focused on the judge, who began to arrange and review documents."So..." the judge began, clearing his throat while I watched Grandpa dying of anxiety. Natasha Choi gave me a slight nod."Your Honor," a voice called out as everyone turned around to see who had interrupted the judge at this crucial point. "Your Honor, the witness wants to retell her testimony." The court offic
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again The power of love
Chapter 127Michael's POV"The final trial comes up tomorrow...if anything goes wrong tomorrow, I'll fight for my freedom," I said, locking eyes with Jason, who stood staring into space before he finally came to sit beside the sofa where I sat."You're not planning something, right?" "Bella's alive. Would you let me fold my hands and listen to the judge's verdict that I have been found guilty? Bella's alive now, and I have things to protect from Ambrose.""There's no way you'll be pronounced guilty just because Bella testified against you. And then there's something Raymond said to me, and somehow he's smart, and he might be right" I suddenly glued my eyes to Jason's eyes, curious to know what Raymond might have told him."And what exactly did he say to you?" "Listen...he said somehow, the judge probably knew what he was up to, and him isolating Bella to only God knows where until the trial should also be part of his smart move." "So?" I asked, still not getting what I was expecting
