All Chapters of THE UNVEILED CONTRACT: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Adrian’s POVI watched as Alexandra froze.The feeling in her eyes The emotions. They shifted, and suddenly I saw hostility.Here it comes. The misunderstanding. This always happened whenever Penelope got involved with us. We would enter a strange stalemate. I would not let that happen anymore; I now knew what was wrong, and I would not let that old hag have her way. She already got her silly revenge when Old Man Bennett was killed; she had no right to go after the whole family now. Well, she had no right to go after Alexandra like this; her parents, I cannot be too sure. Maybe.“You knew all along, didn’t you?” Alexandra started, her hand tightly gripping the sheets. She looked a bit panicked. Betrayed, I could only assume. “You are also working with her, right? To destroy and claim Liss?” She gritted her teeth. I realized if I let this go on any further, Alexandra would blow up and I would not be given the chance to explain myself. Although I was hurt that she would jump to conclusi

Adrian POV“I’m cutting ties with my family.”When I heard Alexandra say these words, I felt a strange level of satisfaction. Her family was one of the major reasons that our relationship wasn’t so good. Their manipulative words created a rift between Alexandra and me.If Alexandra hadn’t mentioned it, I just might have. Not explicitly. I knew Alexandra well enough to know that she wouldn’t listen to me if I told her to cut ties with her family.I was changing. Or, at least, my feelings were. I had a strong urge to monopolize her. The deep thought of possession: A possessive husband seeks control. I wanted to manipulate her into doing the things I wanted. I didn’t want to take her feelings into consideration because if I tried to, she could very well lie about them. Maybe because I felt insecure. Our relationship seemed to be built on lies and manipulation. A very rocky foundation. One that could collapse after the building was done, and the outcome would be too devastating.I think t

Alexandra’s POVI had always thought that Katrina had some sort of superpower, but now I was 100% sure that she had powers.Why such a thought? Because of how fast she ran through the door, past Adrian, and landed on my bed, I would believe her if she told me she was a descendant of the Flash.Look! Even Adrian had a shocked expression.Oh, my baby, you finally decided to wake up, huh? And you didn’t call me? How is your body? Heavy? I’ll massage it for you, okay? I shall treat you better from now on, okay? So do not ever scare me like that again. Do you know how long I waited for you? I cried beside your bed for a long time, and I even considered kissing you to wake you up. I thought of hitting you as well, but your husband would not let me. Where did you go when you were not awake? Neverland? Interesting fact about that: Once, Katrina went on like a broken tap. She clutched onto my body and squeezed my cheeks repeatedly, her hands wandering from one part to another. She seemed a bit

Alexandra’s POVMy back hurts. Like a bitch. A dirty, bad one.OuchI flinched once more when my back roughly brushed against the seat’s backrest.It itched as well.Adrian and I had left the Hospital 30 minutes ago, and within that time, my painkillers had worn off. I didn’t mention it to Adrian. My medicine was in a different car with the personal nurse Adrian hired. I did not want to bother him, so I tried to hold it in.I underestimated how painful it would be.Especially when my back made contact with the seat rest. I tried to scoot away from it and lean forward, but it would be too weird if I did that. Adrian was beside me. I was scared he would notice my discomfort.The car was comfortable. Or rather, I would have enjoyed it more if my back wasn’t slashed. The car model once again reminded me of how wealthy the man I was married to was.It was a Range Rover SV. A car worth a fortune And Adrian had us stay in one car with a driver, and there were two other cars, one in front of

Alexandra’s POVIf there was one conversation I didn’t want to have with Adrian, it was this one.I didn’t want to talk to him about it.Penelope.I had too much drama attached to that name. For some time, it was mine. How terrific.I suddenly remembered how Adrian had gotten his information. Adrian knew a lot of things about me.I wondered how he could still talk about developing feelings after knowing all of that.“How much do you know?" I decided not to test the waters.“Everything, you know, and maybe more.” He told me, and my heart dropped.I frowned.“Its okay. Remember what I told you before? I will not judge you for what happened in the past. Remember that Penelope was using you and everyone around you to get her revenge? The main target of it is done, but she still remains adamant on this, and I will not let her have her way. Not again. Know this, and never forget that I am on your side,” He declared. I saw something flicker in his eyes. It was gone before I could register wh
