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 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 43 Ambrose's POV As 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

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 103Michael's POV"Mr. Smith, get in the car; we have no time left to spare," the cop said to me as he opened the car door for me to enter. I took a deep breath, feeling embarrassment and shame wash over me. I never thought a day would come when I'd ride in a car like this – a police car, no less."What are you waiting for? Get in," the cop repeated as I did, trying my best not to rumple my suit. Jason had brought me a new pair of suit and made sure I looked presentable. I began to say a quiet prayer deep inside of me, hoping everyone who had promised to give their testimony would show up. My heart began to beat faster as I thought of Emma. I'd hoped she would stay true to her words; she had already received the money – a huge amount that would probably go a long way if invested wisely. But then, if it required payment to speak about everything that had happened on that fateful night, I'd pay the same amount over and over again............."Mr. Michael, do you have anything

Chapter 102Freya's POV"Freya... only one of us can see him. Right now, I don't think Michael would want to see me. I'm partially involved in what he's facing right now," Raymond said, calling my attention as I stopped in my tracks. I turned around; his eyes were filled with regret and pain. "It's in the past now. Instead of regretting and dwelling on the past, why not do everything you can to help Michael?" I said, walking a bit towards his side as I placed my hand on his shoulder. "We'll be okay," I whispered, as he nodded continuously.The cops had told me visiting hours were over, but then Raymond had squeezed some money into the officer's hand, and his face lit up with a bright smile. "Just fifteen minutes," he said, as I nodded. Not long after, I was asked to go see him. My anticipation to see Michael disappeared as my legs began to wobble. "He's waiting for you," Raymond whispered, as I took a deep breath. I began to feel my strength return, and soon I found myself sitting
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again Trust and doubt
Chapter 101Jason's POVMy heart was deeply hurt as I gave Michael a reassuring look. I couldn't imagine a day when Michael would spend a night in custody. "I'll bring you out of here, I promise," I said to him. "Find Freya" were the only words he told me, and I nodded my head firmly. I couldn't give him a long, lasting stare; there was no way Michael would be guilty of Bella's death, an event that had left him traumatized for five years. I already knew Ambrose had a lot of evidence to make Michael appear guilty, but then, I'll do everything I can to make sure Michael's legal team works hard."Mr. Michael Smith." I turned around immediately as I saw Miss Natasha Choi, Michael's own lawyer, who was prominent for winning many cases. "How's he holding up, Mr. Jason?" she asked, walking towards me as I took a deep breath. "He's been framed. Please, do everything to reveal the truth," I begged, as she nodded, moving over to Michael, whose face had been down. "Michael, your lawyer is her
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again Freya and Raymond
Chapter 100Freya's POV"Death?" I asked, the words slowly escaping my mouth as my heart began to pound. Had they found out that my mom possessed one of the Jenkins' property ? I wondered, my heart beating like a drum."Freya, you have to open this door if you want to see Ambrose die. You have to open this door if you want to save Michael," Raymond's voice echoed as I blinked my eyes twice. Was this another part of his scheme to betray us again? No way!"I don't need your help. Without your help, I'll storm into Ambrose's home and find the evidence I need.""Evidence? You think Ambrose would ever leave any trace at his home? You're not that stupid, Freya," he said as I exhaled a chuckle. I had never mentioned knowing anything about the bracelet to him. Somehow, Ambrose would still have it in his secret room, and..."Ambrose has found a way to eradicate every trace. You can't do this alone, Freya," Raymond interrupted my thoughts as I closed my eyes deeply. I didn't trust him a bit, b

Chapter 99Freya's POV"Billionaire Michael Smith Jenkins: Arrested for Murder of Sister." "Mom, could you read this... or probably my eyes are playing a trick on me?" I stammered, my hand shaking as I managed to keep the phone from falling. "It's been all over the news since yesterday. The country is making a fuss about it. I didn't want to call your attention to it, since all you do is confide in this place without even stepping an inch out," Mom blamed, but I wasn't really in the right mood to argue. I placed my hand on my chest to stop the erratic beating of my heart, at least to calm myself. "Michael is no murderer. There has been some misunderstanding, and I'll prove to everyone that he is not his sister's murderer," I said, determination evident in my voice. I scratched my hair, thinking of possible measures to take."You won't make any irrational moves. This is not your place, Freya. You'll be seen as an accomplice too." "What the hell does that even mean, Mom? Everything

Chapter 98Michael's POV"What!" I exclaimed, looking into Raymond's eyes, my own eyes filled with anger. I didn't think I'd heard everything Raymond had said; probably I must have hurt my ear during the gunshot that killed the gatekeeper."Michael... I... I'm so sorry, I just..." Raymond stammered."You animal!" I fired, my fist connecting with a loud crunch, sending blood gushing from the bridge of his nose."Michael, you have to calm down," Jason intervened, holding my hand to prevent me from throwing another punch as Raymond rolled, groaning in pain.I took a deep breath, easing my anger and wrath. I watched Raymond groan in pain, and somehow, I felt torn within me. I signaled to Jason to call the medical team."I brought you into my home, hoping you'd become useful, and you chose to betray me this way?" I asked, looking closely at him as his knees remained on the floor."My offenses are punishable by law. I have lots of regrets, but I just want you to give me one last chance. I s
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again The secret of the bones
Chapter 97Raymond's POVI fumed with rage as I watched Ambrose being interviewed. My anger kept boiling over as I watched him, all smiles, speaking about the success of his business. The same business he had ripped people off to acquire more wealth and fame."All this will end soon," I muttered, looking into my cellphone as news began to pop up. These news caught my attention as I saw Mrs. Cooke's picture and the headline: "Billionaire's Maid Guilty of Manipulation and Harmful Mixture, Wanted for a Fine of $12 Million Dollars." I smiled, knowing fully well that I knew most of the hidden parts where she might have kept her head. No doubt, I was going to acquire all the money Michael had placed on her head.But then, the "harmful mixture" caught my attention as I remembered I had once detected something like that. But then, I couldn't get the weight off my mind; I needed to see Michael again. ........... Few moments later"Get out! To think you have the nerve to come here to his offi
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again Who exactly were they trying to manipulate?
Chapter 96Michael's POVI couldn't wait for Jason to pack the car in the right position after numerous attempts to wake the gatekeeper, who had been dead asleep. I kept wondering why no one ever bothered go lock the gate."How dare she," Jason said, reminding me of the bond Mrs. Cooke and I shared. "You loved and took her as a mother."She was the only one I was close to; I could tolerate her, and somehow, she gave me a motherly feeling. I couldn't figure out why she stabbed me in the back. I had always loved her, and everything was happening like a dream."Jason, I don't know how I'm going to make her face the law. I mean, this is Mrs. Cooke we're talking about...I really don't know what to do," I said, feeling broken. But Jason's face held no emotions as he looked straight into my eyes."You don't care about her anymore. This isn't the time to feel pity for anyone; this is the time to serve justice to whoever needs to be served. Michael," he paused, placing his right hand on my lef
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again The plans from both sides
Chapter 95Michael's POV"You were right to drop a mobile phone with her mom," Jason said, breaking the silence as he drove on the highway. "She might want to reach out to you." I didn't say a word, feeling so broken. Even when I turned to leave, Freya never looked back."She still loves you," Jason said. "You said she never said the last words, right?" He asked, as I let out a cold, mirthless laugh. "Love? What if she was right? Maybe I actually forced myself on her too much. I mean, I didn't think I'd ever been rejected in my life."Jason nodded, his eyes fixed on the road. "She'll come around, I promise. Besides, your marriage with her was probably a way for Grandpa to execute one of his hidden plans.""Jason," I called, pausing as I looked at him, even though he had his total attention on the road. "What's bothering you?" he asked."What do you think about Grandpa?" I asked. "Doesn't it ring a bell? What if he knew everything that had happened in the last five years and...?"Jason
