All Chapters of Billionaire Contract Wife: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Claire was a bit tipsy in the dimly lit bar. Her eyes fell on the handsome stranger sitting in the corner, and she wanted him. She knew it was the alcohol, but she couldn't care less, especially after finding out her boyfriend was cheating on her with her best friend.Staggering over to him, she took the empty seat in front of him. "Hey, handsome," she said.He said nothing and just stared at her."Want to have a fun night with me?" she continued.He said nothing, but he started to consider it. It wouldn't hurt to have a one-night stand with the pretty woman in front of him. It might help him take his mind off his father's death and the inheritance issues going on in his family that he was tired of.“My place?” He finally spoke“Yes” She replied and they left the bar together to his place.As she stirred awake the next morning, the presence of a stranger beside her flooded her with regret and embarrassment. Quietly, she slipped out of bed, dressing swiftly to avoid disturbing him, the

Claire got through the first week of work and marriage somehow; both were difficult, but at least her manager talks, while it’s just pure silence with her so-called husband. He’s annoying, so annoying that she wants to avoid him at all costs. Her only companion in the house is the housekeeper, Mrs. Hampton, a middle-aged woman who mainly cooks for them.She was having random conversations with Mrs. Hampton in the kitchen when her phone rang. It was an unsaved number. She picked up, and a familiar voice spoke through the phone.“Claire, right?”“Who is this?”“Come on, it’s your mother-in-law. We haven’t had time to chat or see each other ever since that day.”“Oh, Mrs. Steele. How are you doing?”"I’m good. Since it’s the weekend, why don’t we go shopping together and get to know each other?” It’s not like she could just turn her down, so she said yes. She told Mrs. Hampton about who just called, and her countenance changed, but she said nothing and just told her to be careful.Claire

They left home together about an hour later. The driver stopped in front of a huge clothing store after a long drive. Alexander gestured for her to come down, and he led the way inside. The workers inside seemed to be familiar with him, but they all had shocked expressions on their faces when they saw a woman beside him.Light murmurs soon filled the air. The boss appeared and greeted them. He was a short man in his mid-fifties or so it seemed, bald, and wearing dark glasses.“A new secretary, perhaps?” He said after greeting Alexander and glanced over at Claire.“No, Mr. Smith. She’s my wife,” Alexander replied.“Your wife?!” He exclaimed surprisingly. “I’m so sorry, ma’am. It’s just that I’ve never seen him with a woman before, so the last thing on my mind was that you might be his wife.”Claire smiled. “It’s fine.”“Get her ready for the masked party tonight.”It was a party for the elite in society where they come to have fun and build connections. Alexander got the invitation this

Alexander got into his car immediately and started following the map to her live location that she shared. He made sure to call the police while on his way there in case he didn't make it fast enough.He raced as fast as he could and soon arrived at the end of the map. He followed the directions on his phone, but it stopped, and she wasn't there; it was just her phone on the floor behind a trash can.He heaved a frustrated sigh, worry evident all over his face. He quickly started looking around and soon heard her screams coming from a corner. He raced over there and found Claire.A man had her hair fisted in his hand while the others stood around laughing. She spat on his face, and he raised his hand to slap her when a hard blow landed on his left cheek.Alexander's taekwondo classes, which he took while growing up, had come in handy a few times, but this was definitely one of the times he was grateful he took those classes because he was ready to take on these bastards. He looked ove

Claire entered to see them sitting and was surprised as to why they were there. “Is there anything I can help you with?” she asked, raising an eyebrow. “What happened to your pretty face?” Diana rushed up to her and tried to touch her face, but Claire brushed her hand away with a look of disdain. Diana took a step back, looking hurt, and continued, “Claire, don’t be like that. We came to apologize for the other day.” “I don’t remember asking for an apology, so you can leave now,” Claire replied coldly, crossing her arms. “I see Alexander’s rudeness has rubbed off on you because this is no way to treat your husband’s family when we only came to make peace,” Celine chipped in. Claire chuckled, shaking her head. “Make peace? You tried to make me a thief, and now you randomly come in and try to make peace? What a joke. You’d better let me know what you’re here for because I’m sure my husband wouldn’t appreciate your visit.” “If you’re going to be like this, I guess we can get
