The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again Leaked
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 42Emma's POV"Job well done, Alexis," I said, watching Freya from the car as she struggled with her luggage. I couldn't help but laugh as I remembered how she had confidently insulted my pride at the café."Just a video, and Micahel didn't hesitate to send you packing. Oh, Freya, how bad it is for a billionaire's wife to end up this way," I muttered, watching with joy and anticipating Alexis' next move. Alexis was an expert in fields like this.I began to see Freya's picture as headline news, and I knew my plans were working out well. With Freya out of the picture, I had Micahel all to myself again."I need to go see him and prove to him that I'm the only one who truly loves him," I said, giving myself a thorough look as I added more powder to my face and touched my lips with red lipstick.I stood up, adjusted my little orange gown, and catwalked towards Micahel's mansion. I finally reached the door after a few attempts by Mrs. Cooke to stop me."Please, Mrs. Cooke, I need to

Chapter 42Ambrose's POVAs I observed Waylen, I noticed he'd suddenly developed an interest in the room opposite his own. It was perplexing, as there was no way he could have seen anything unusual in there. His claim of having a friend now made me uneasy.I had carefully crafted my plans, ensuring no one would get in my way. Now that Grandpa had lost interest in giving Michael the inheritance, Freya would likely return to me. However, I felt it was time to renegotiate with Jason; I needed him on my side......................"What do you want? Why do you suddenly come to see me? It's been four days. You can't change my mind," Jason asked, his eyes beaming with annoyance as I spat, watching him venomously.How could someone be so loyal? At a point, I realized I had no genuine ally behind me. Raymond was only loyal because I had promised him a huge share of the inheritance. Alexis was paid for every piece of information and operation she carried out for me. Emma was with me only beca

Chapter 44Freya's POVIt's been four days since the video got leaked, but the pain I felt was unmatched; nothing could be compared to it. I lost everything because of Emma. I folded my fists tightly, ensuring the knife I had kept behind my jeans was perfectly in place."Freya! Put away the knife now!" My mom screamed in fear, but I didn't flinch."I'll kill her," I said, my face devoid of emotion, as I gently placed my hand on the back pocket of my jeans.My mom moved closer towards me, "He'll come back for you," she whispered reassuringly, as I gave her a confused gaze. Hadn't she always wanted a day like this to come? From the onset, my mom had always hated the fact that Michael and I were together. She had seen me as an opportunist. Why, then, did she pray for his return?Michael had turned his back against me the moment my picture got leaked."He's such a fool," I said, weeping, as I closed my eyes tightly. He was such a fool not to have realized that I wasn't the woman in the v

Chapter 45Freya's pov"What?" I asked, my whole body wrapped around Michael's warm, comforting embrace. His familiar scent filled my senses, and I felt a flutter in my chest. I couldn't imagine that he actually said sorry to me. Did he realize I wasn't the woman in the video? Also, I'd like to ask him why he overreacted. Could my mom be right about Michael probably having feelings for me? But it wasn't possible; Michael still loved Emma. I shouldn't get my hopes too high because he actually hugged me so passionately tonight."I'm not the kind of man who says sorry. You should be lucky, Freya. You never got a rare opportunity like this," he said, his deep voice rumbling through his chest. I nodded, my expression bare, not revealing any smile.Now that Michael and I were cool, and the world knew about our separation, I wondered what would probably happen afterwards."Where are your belongings?" he asked, finally releasing me from the warm embrace. I straightened my clothes, not saying

Chapter 46Freya's POVThe distance between Michael and me was so small as Ambrose kept revealing a deceptive smile. I mean, I didn't imagine he'd actually act like everything was okay after everything he'd done to Michael."Wait! Michael, I thought your wife cheated on you?" Ambrose's questions made me want to send a slap across his face, but I didn't. I kept my cool, my eyes fixed on his expression. "Why is she still standing here? I thought you sent her out!" He asked, his voice dripping with malice, as I closed my eyes, trying to compose myself.Ambrose was playing games with us. But then, all of his plans would crumble soon. I could feel the anticipation building up inside me."I don't think I have any reasons or I'm obligated in any way whatsoever to reply to you. I came here for two important things, which I'll like you to give me as soon as possible," Michael cut in, his boldness one of the traits I loved about him. The fact that he was the only one who could make the bossy A

Chapter 48Michael's POV "Boss?" Ruby called, looking confused and scared. Freya had actually told me about her loyalty to Ambrose and her being the spy. But then, I never expected the truth to come out so soon."Oh, Ruby. Here you are. So tell me, what have you found out about Michael's cunning move?" Ambrose asked, his words purposely putting it in a way to hurt my feelings, but it wasn't new. But then, to think Ambrose no longer hid his true intentions and self was what bothered me. I had kept my silence for a month, not because I was stupid, as I couldn't stop myself from strategizing. But now, I was determined to fight for what I have."Sir?" Ruby asked in fear, it was obvious she was so uncomfortable and uneasy. For a while, I wanted to think that she was probably threatened, just like Jason. But then, that was going to be a blatant lie. Up until this moment, Ruby had always been happy, having no guilt even while she stabbed me from behind.I momentarily shifted my thoughts to

Chapter 49Freya's POVI couldn't bear to see the tears flowing down my little boy's eyes. I was such a bad mother, hiding behind everything. I tried hard to keep my emotions in order, making every attempt not to let Michael see any suspicion in my reactions towards Waylen. This wasn't the best time to let him know. But then, somehow Michael got drenched in anger as he lost control towards Ambrose.My attempts to stop him failed as I placed a hand on my wrist, hurting it in the process of getting support when Ambrose pushed me badly. "Michael!" I called, trying to find my footing. "Unc' Michael," Waylen called out in tears , but it seemed like Michael's eyes were closing. I didn't know what made him lose himself, but I noticed it was after Waylen had called his attention with watery eyes."Stop it!" I cried, stopping Ambrose from hitting him. I knew Ambrose was no match for Michael. But right now, Michael was down, and I couldn't afford to let him remain in this position at a critica

Chapter 63Ambrose's POV"Oh, I guess you're wondering how I got to know about them," Freya said teasingly, her voice low, and I knew at once that she had become a threat to me. There was no way I was going to let her get away with this. Something had to be done. I dragged her over to a more quiet place."What the hell do you mean by those words? You could be arrested for false accusations. Do you think these are a way to make me let my guard down and probably tremble in fear?" I asked, moving close to her as I held her firmly by the arm. She struggled to break free, but my grip was tighter."You don't know what the hell happened that night. The fact that Michael had told you everything doesn't guarantee that he's right. You clearly don't know who Michael is," I said, thinking of the next action to take.Freya smiled, without a hint of fear in her. "Then what exactly happened five years ago? Why did you suddenly return five years ago without attending the trip with Grandpa? And what

She held onto me tightly, like she would never let me go, while I revealed a sly smile, unknown to her. The problem with women; they were so stupid."I want to see him pay for what he did to me. I want to see Michael pay for hurting me that night. He's a murderer," Bella grunted, her teeth clenched as I could see anger and hatred in her eyes. My world lit up just seeing her reaction, and I knew sooner, Michael would go down the drain, and this time, no one would get in the way of my plans."I'd love that too. But then, did you happen to drink your cinnamon tea while I was away?" I asked, as she nodded her head. "I've never missed it. It was brought to me by that person who...showed up when you were arrested," she said, as I smiled. At least, a better person would take up Raymond's role. But then, his sudden betrayal neve
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again The deepest part of the room
Chapter 61Freya's POVIt was the first time Michael ever admitted that I was beautiful. But then, I was still going to wear Bella's dress. I felt honored to see his deceased sister in me. For a moment, I shared in Michael's tears, wishing I had laid my eyes on Bella.Five years ago, when Ambrose and I were happily in love, Michael was crying his eyes out. And then, I wondered. Ambrose never felt moody, nor did he act like he was mourning. He had prevented me from knowing any members of his family. But then, that was the period Bella died, the period he told me he had a business trip with Grandpa but somehow returned saying it was cancelled. Besides, I'd seen Bella's bracelet in his playroom also. And when I heard about the 6 pm schedule of his, I became uneasy since then because, from five years ago, I wondered why he still had a 6 pm schedule that never ended. A schedule no one knew about.Maybe this was going to be a way of getting his weakness and using it against him. Somehow, I

Chapter 60Michael's POV"I love you, Michael," I heard her say, but then I didn't want to annoy her or push her away. After everything that had happened tonight, I knew my feelings for Freya were certain. I felt every part of her body; her sweetness was something I couldn't take my mind off. As I wrapped her petite body in my arms, I didn't hesitate to tell her that I hoped these feelings would never end."Freya, I...""Don't say anything. Don't spoil this moment for me, Michael, please," she whispered, cutting me off abruptly, which somehow put a smile on my face. But then, I knew this was wrong; I mean, Freya and I weren't supposed to have feelings for each other. But then, it was impossible for anyone not to fall for a man like me. Also, Freya was irresistible.I took a deep breath, accepting the fact that I didn't want to lie to myself anymore. Emma wasn't whom I needed, and I realized that days ago during my fight with Freya. Emma was once my life and love, but everything change
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again A night of endless pleasure
Chapter 59 Freya's POVIt's been three days since Ambrose's arrest, and I finally got the chance to hold my boy dearly in my arms. As I gently rocked Waylen to sleep, planting light kisses on his forehead, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. "I can see your love for children is unwavering," Michael said, his voice low and smooth, as he stood at the entrance of my room, watching us with a stare that made my heart skip a beat. "Don't you think you need to get yourself one?" he asked, his eyes sparkling with amusement.I froze, never expecting to see him standing there, but then, anything could happen when you leave your door wide open. "Hey," I called out, still feeling a lingering anger from the incident four days ago. Michael had already made it clear to me that I shouldn't expect more than just a contract husband. Then, I didn't think there was any reason to reveal my son's identity to him. After all, we owed each other nothing. In four months' time, everything would go back to

Chapter 58Michael's POVI folded my fists tightly, realizing that Raymond had just saved me. I wondered why he decided to betray Ambrose. Either way, I was going to put my life on the line to ensure everyone who stood by me was safe.Grandpa's face was filled with anger after seeing Ruby's secret message and everything that had happened on her system. "Grandpa, I don't know these men. Do not believe what they said. Besides, Jason gave you his testimony," Ambrose said with a hint of fear, looking at the two men."C'mon, Ambrose. You've gone too far this time," I cut in as Grandpa ended the call with the DPO. I wasn't glad that my brother was going to get taken by the cops, but that was the best for now."For a while, I had thought of changing my mind about the inheritance, but then..." Grandpa started."Oh no, Grandpa. You and I know Michael's the only one you want for it. But then, don't get shocked when you realize that I am right and he might be wrong. I'd prove that to everyone he

Chapter 57Michael's POVAs I watched Freya carry the weight of her frown, a realization hit me. "What if... all I needed was comfort?" I thought deeply, my mind racing with the implications. I wouldn't want to hurt a woman like Freya. She deserved so much better.My mind suddenly shifted to Raymond and his motives. Why was he assisting me in my fight? I couldn't decipher the reason behind the pain in his eyes."Hey, I..." I started, but Freya cut me off."Aren't you supposed to set your car on fire? It's been thirty minutes past the agreed time," Freya asked, her voice filleld with anger and frustration. Her eyes blazed with a fire that made my heart skip a beat. I knew she had every reason to be angry, but maybe all I needed was a little time.Ten minutes later, my brand-new Range Rover was engulfed in flames as Freya and I watched from a distance. I could see the pain in her eyes as she gazed at the burning car. I took two steps closer to her, pulling her into an embrace, but she b

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 Facing the rain again
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.
