All Chapters of The Billionaire's Contract Pet: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

The bank employees practically bowed when Will walked in. Several of them greeted him and offered some services that Will didn’t listen to. Their voices were a low buzz in his ear, like a bug he wanted to swat away. He walked to the back, towards a startled teller. “H-hello, Mr. Stewart. Your patronage is greatly appreciated. How c-can I help you?” “Good afternoon,” Will said. “I have a key to a safety deposit box number 34. Please escort me so that I can open it.” “Y-yes, sir. Of course, sir. Right this way, sir.” The teller led him through the bank. People stared and whispered as he walked. While it may have felt like several lifetimes ago, the press conference had recently happened, and William Stewart was still a hot name in the city. He’d grown used to it over the years. The stares and whispers. But it felt different. There was a weight he felt that he hadn’t felt before. He used

Will dismissed his eighth and last meeting of the day. His brain felt like it was going to fall out of his ears before he made it home. In the short time Robert had taken over, Stewart Industries was in free fall. It reminded on the catastrophe he dealt with right after he and Emma had been married and he had to run off to Italy. The employees were terrified especially after the police had begun the formal investigation. So many people had been let go or arrested in connection with the corruption. The remainder were scared. Will set up meetings with every department so hear their grievances and begin to heal the wounded company. Stewart Industries was bleeding, and he had to stop it.It had gone that way all week. Meetings after meetings after meetings. He was finally done. The most pressing issue is that the remaining employees felt overworked. They needed to hire people. He authorized for the HR department to post jobs for all of the positi

“Can you say, ‘Papa’?” Emmett cooed as Lizzie giggled and squealed in his lap. “Say, ‘Papa’.” It was a gorgeous day. Bird song and the scent of freshly watered grass filled the air. Other residents and families milled about, enjoying the beautiful day. The weather was getting cooler and soon sitting outside wouldn’t be an option. So, they’d have to enjoy it while they could. Emma had to admit, she was glad her father had chosen to stay at the facility. It was straight out of fairy tale. Like a cottage amongst a forest of lush, jade ivy. It was enchanting. “Daddy,” Emma laughed. “She hasn’t even said ‘Mama’ yet.” “She’s going to call me first,” he teased. “Isn’t that right, baby girl?” he pecked a small kiss on her forehead and Lizzie responded with a loud squeal. “Is she always this happy?”

This wasn’t how everything was supposed to go down. Things were supposed to go a lot smoother. And perhaps they would have if he hadn’t made the mistake of underestimating his opponent. He’d been so easy to defeat before. That was so long ago, but he had no idea that William Stewart was capable of personal growth. It was almost laughable, though. It took almost no effort in the beginning. Grace had been easy to crack. Women like her usually were.It wasn’t that he didn’t love her. He did… in his own way. As much as he could love someone anyway. Love was messy and impractical. Which is probably why he was able to sway her. She was in love, and had love in return, but for some reason was still ravenous for it. She wasn’t his usual type at all either. He always wondered why he was even attracted to her. Was it that desperate way she loved? It had to be. His pursuit and eventual conquest of her set a dangerous precedent in h

(trigger warnings: mentions of domestic abuse and violence) Grace was being beaten on a regular basis. She was a shell of herself. Life had become a hellish prison, a dungeon she was trapped in. She wanted to leave, but she was terrified of the man who used to be her husband.  She stopped going out as much, making excuses for both of them. When the affair started, she was grateful. His attention was being placed on his new girlfriend rather than on her.He never tried to hide it. In fact, he flaunted the affair in her face. At first, she said there would be no point in them staying together. He shoved her to the floor because of her suggestion. Grace lived a life of terror and pain. She thought the affair, and his eventually promotion in his father’s company would ease things but they didn’t.Once she made the mistake of asking him what he and his father did. He brandished a gun and held it to h
