All Chapters of Falling For The Contract : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Ocean Depth 2021 ……3:30pm …Janelle.I knelt by the side of my mother’s bed in the hospital ward, my fingers entwined by her side supporting my chin as I let tears roll freely down my face.Three months ago if someone had told me that I would be in an hospital in this exact position, hoping and praying that my mother doesn’t die because of lack of money, I would have laughed it off and called the person drunk. But here I am, my face a crying mess by the side of my dying mother’s bed.My phone began to ring, I sniffled in deeply, wiped my face and stood up, I walked a little bit away from her and picked up the call.“Diane,” I muttered as soon as I picked up the call.“There was another attack from these ridiculous Mafia guys yesternight, you’re in charge Janelle! How come you’re never here!” Diane retorted at the other end of the phone.My grip on the phone tightened and in the spur of that moment I felt like calling quit and telling her to leave me the hell alone, but I knew I d

My eyes flung open wider as I sat up on the chair, my hands unconsciously reached for my eyes and I rubbed it slowly, I peered back into my phone partially expecting that it was just an hallucination, maybe I prayed too much for a miracle and now I’m starting to see things, my gaze hit my phone again and the message was still there, as boldly as ever.Without trying to draw my dad’s attention, I gently stood up from the chair and made my way outside, where exactly could this message come from, I haven’t told anyone of our desperate need for money asides Peter and Angela, or could it be one of them?! I couldn’t help but think of the possibility but I discarded it almost immediately, with what I saw and heard earlier, they definitely can’t be the one to help.As I made the way down the stairs, the more I thought about the text, the more baffled I became, why would a stranger want to help me in return for marriage, why me?! I know it’s common practice among rich people to find people w

"Either I'm incredibly fascinating or there's something on my face - care to share which one it is?" I heard his voice again, this time more cool and smooth.I held my lips close as I rolled my eyes, turned around and walked back to the small platform infront of the mirror.It was the very rude guy I bumped into at the hospital, even if I couldn’t recognize his face very well, his voice isn’t something I would forget in an hurry, although I remember his face quite well.“Are you stalking me?!” I asked as I stood on the platform and the lady attending to me came to adjust the dress on my body as usual, I lifted my gaze and looked at him through the window, the corner of his lips was curled in a small smile.“You look like you could use my help and some company,” He said, I rolled my eyes to the back of my head as I turned to look at the lady, she was now done and she stood back to hear my thoughts about the gown.“Is this how you allow strangers walk in on your customers rudely?!” I a

“You know him?!” Adil asked turning to look at me, I nodded slowly my gaze still fixed on Enzo as he approached us.“Kind of,” I added in a whisper, immediately Enzo got to where we were his smile deepened as he stared at me.“Meant to be, is it not?!” He muttered his gaze fixed on me, as we stared at each other, Adil cleared his throat in an attempt to stop the intense staring, Enzo’s smile suddenly changed to a taunting one as he turned to look at Adil.“How does she look?! Does she look beautiful in the dress I chose for her?!” He asked, Adil’s eyes dimmed as he stared at him, I could feel anger oozing out of his members.“I know you to be emotionless about a lot of things, but leaving your wife to shop for her wedding dress alone?! That’s the peak!” He added, Adil’s nose flared and he suddenly step forward and closed the distance between them.“You have no right to speak to me like that! And stay the hell away from my wife,” Adil growled,“Ohh, you actually don’t feed me, so you

Janelle.“Bella, I need you to look into this message that I got,” I muttered as forwarded the message and all of it details to her, she nodded slowly as her IPad beeped signalling that she had received the message.“I’m very aware that it would be a burner account, but there should be more, I need you to look into it very well, take your time please,” I said to her and she nodded slowly, I gently stood up from my seat walked up to the murderboard and pulled it out, I used a thumb pin to hold the printed copy of the message to the board, I turned to look at the rest of the team and I began my observation.We are four in number, including myself and It was our first team meeting after the whole drama that happened with my life, and if there’s no future cases of anymore drama, I’m back fully!.“They actually use market bombings to actually perpetrate bigger attrocities,” I muttered as I picked up my pencil, she nodded slowly staring at me with rapt attention, I pointed towards the board
