All Chapters of The Marriage Contract: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Alexa cried upon seeing Leo's pale body and lying unconscious, breathing with the help of oxygen. "What really happened? How did things result in this?""For one, it's Leo's stubbornness. Apparently, he discovered where your godfather is hiding, but when he saw his mom's dead body, he got angry, and went alone to your godfather's hideout.....although, he informed me when he got there."Alexa kept crying as she listened to the explanation. How could he risk his life like that? She can't lose him. She really can't."I should leave you with him." Emily made known, and left the room, while Alexa just focused on gazing at Leo, tears running down from her eyes."I'm...I'm sorry for not quickly understanding you, or knowing what you've been passing through, Leo. I'm so sorry for getting so angry and affected, but please remember your promise to me. You told me no one is gonna be next. You promised no one is gonna die, so please don't." She shook her head. "I'm not angry at you anymore. Your

Seven years later. (17th. May. Tuesday.)It was evening, and Alexa was busy preparing dinner for her family. She couldn't help, but overhear some disturbances in their movie room. She sighed wondering what her kids are now up to.All of a sudden, she heard a crash sound making a heart skip. She immediately lowered her gas and went to the room they were in. The three of them just stood there glaring at each other."What's happening here?"Her daughter immediately ran to her. "Mom." She said with a pout, and hug her."What is it?"Damien sighed. "It's Aria, mom. She's stubborn."Alexa rose a brow at him. "Really? Guess whose teacher called me for a complaint."Damien looked away in mortification.Alexa looked at her other son. He's always the collected one. "Explain what happened, Damon.""Um, we were trying to teach her how to play a video game, but she wasn't grabbing it. Damien got tired, and frustrated, and decided to stop. Aria didn't want him to stop, so she seized the remote. It

Alexa sighed as she, and Leo came out of the company. It was weird although she understood why she had to oversee that."I was surprised you accepted the client," Leo confessed.Alexa chuckled. "He was investing, Leo. A huge amount of money for that matter. Do you know how much interest we could gain?"Leo nodded. "Indeed, I just don't feel right about it. It's not like your company is the only one on the planet."Alexa looked at him and shook her head. "Go turn the car around."As they both walk close to the road, Leo furrowed his brows upon sighting a speeding car by his left charging towards them. His eyes widened in horror, and he immediately pushed Alexa away from the car as it ran past them.Alexa's heart skipped as it happened. "What..." She was breathing fast.Leo looked at the car with a panicked expression. It stopped, and then it drove off. He frowned wondering what just happened. He was getting a bad vibe from it."What just happened? Were we almost ran over? Or...or did h

Damon stared deeply at Joe as he entered the cafeteria. He wondered exactly what was going on in that dumb head of his. He's suspecting. He's weird, and most importantly, he's up to something against his brother, Damien, but what that thing is is what he doesn't know, and what he needs to find out.They heard a gong sound and looked as their principal entered the cafeteria with a speaker. "Everyone of you, there's something I need to address."Everyone went quiet and listened attentively."Something important was stolen from my cabinet. Our school's first award."Everyone gasped at the information, and murmurings started."Keep quiet all of you!"Everyone held their ears with flinch as the sound went loud into it."As you all know, since it's our first award, it is considered our lucky charm. Whoever stole it, or whoever saw who stole it should report it to my desk, or confess now!"Everyone looked at each other, shaking their heads insinuating innocence."This kind of behavior is not

Joseph entered his father's office and stood in front of him with lowered head.His father scoffed as he noticed the attitude on his face. "I can sense it's another failure.""I did something today, dad. To bring Damon out of his hoods...""But it backfired?""I was able to get the full attention of his parents."His father looked at him. "Leonard Hodge came to the school?"Joseph nodded. "Yes, dad. He came, although he is bound to prove Damon is innocent.""What did you do?" "I framed him. Now the school thinks he's a thief.""Hmm. Keep doing that, and make sure you succeed in ruining his kids' reputation."Joseph looked at his dad. "You want me to repeat it?""Try, and see if you can, or maybe do something much worse."Joseph nodded. "Yes, dad."...(20th. May. Friday.)"Leo," Alexa called looking at him. She was sitting on the bed.Leo looked at her as he wore his suit jacket. "What is it?""I know you've been thinking about the issue in school yesterday, so I was wondering abou
