All Chapters of My Billionaire Wife is a Contracted Maid: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

AnnaI was about to walk out of his office when I suddenly stopped and turned, "Did I do anything wrong? I can't help but see that you're mad at me." I asked furrowing my brows."Huh! I didn't notice. I'm just really busy Anna, if that is all, I'd like to get back to work" Mark replied nonchalantly."So we're just going to pretend that it never happened?","That'll be all, Anna!" He replied, his tone deeper this time. I was shaken by his denial, but even more curious why he was getting angry now. I did not know what to say or if to just walk away.He slowly raised his gaze towards me after a while and I could see his expression shift from one of happiness to guilt. Leaning back against the couch, he rubbed his hand over his face as he sighed,"What do you want Anna?", he asked, clearing his throat.I was pleased he was willing to talk about it, whatever 'it' was, but I still felt conflicted. His attitude toward me now wasn't what I expected, and I couldn't help but wonder if he regret

Anna"Welcome Mrs. Grayson" I replied courteously"Oh nonsense, call me Margaret. I've been looking forward to meeting you again." She said, gently patting my arm and walking away. "Mom" Mark interjected walking towards us. Grabbing Margaret's bags, I turned to walk away seeing Mark approach us. However, she immediately grabbed my hand and leaned in"He cares about you more than you realize," Margaret said softly in my ear."What do you mean?" I replied, looking at her with confusion.A meek smile crossed her lips as she sighed, "I know my son better than he thinks. Let's talk when we get a chance tonight."Nodding, I exhaled and the corners of my lips turned into a smile, then turned and walked away.Mark stopped in his tracks and looked at me with a curious gaze, but before he could say anything his mother already called to him.Mark"Mark!" My mother's voice echoed excitedly. "Welcome Mom," I replied absentmindedly. I could sense my mom had taken a liking to Anna, and seeing the

AnnaAs soon as his words fell, my body froze in fear"It seems someone from your past has traced you here and given you up to The Circle" This was all becoming too much to handle. I thought I had finally escaped my past when I left everything behind in Delroy, but it seemed I was not as free as I thought. I could not help but wonder who it was. Still, I could not wrap my mind around something Jack said. Casting my eyes to him again, I asked "You said my parents were a part of The Circle?"Nodding his head, Jack continued, "Yes, they were part of The Five, but it seemed someone was jealous of their position and wanted that control and power for themselves. However, when we found out there was an internal power struggle within the organization, it was already too late. Your parents had already died."Immediately I felt a sudden heaviness on my chest. All these years I'd been searching for a family I no longer had. I didn't have any memories of them or even knew what they looked like

AnnaJack glanced at Mark with disdain in his eyes and then scoffed and turned away.Immediately he walked away, Mark turned towards me with a scolding look“What are you doing, Anna?” “I should be asking you that question, Mark,” I interjected “What?” He asked, staring at me in confusion.“What do you want from me? Cause it seems just a few days ago you were telling me how we can never work, and today you’re here stalking me.”“I’m only trying to keep you safe, you can’t trust these people.”“And I can trust you?” I interjected with an unsettling look. I wasn’t sure why he was so adamant about telling me who I could or could not trust. Was there something he knew that I didn’t?I was still waiting for his response, but strangely, he could not answer. His expression shifted from a stern one to that of guilt.A few seconds passed and I shifted my gaze back to him, my focus stern and sharp. Pinching the bridge of my nose, I sighed and asked again, “How did you find me, Mark?

MarkI’d spent the entire morning holed up in my room, rewatching this video over and over again. The short confrontation I had with Anna a couple of nights ago had been on my mind since I woke up. Even if I wanted to ignore it, I couldn’t. It seemed someone had secretly taken a video of us that night and now every major media handle was talking about it. Once again, my outburst was costing me my reputation. However, I didn’t care much about that. Watching that night over and over again, I realized how insensitive and disrespectful I’d been. She wasn’t my property, but I sure made it seem so. No wonder she quit on me.I was hoping she’d come around to tender her resignation the morning after. It would give me a chance to properly apologize for being such an asshole, but she never did.Heaving a deep sigh, I tossed my iPad away and sat on the bed, wishing I could take back that day.How did it go so wrong? After the conversation with my mother, I was convinced I wanted to be with Ann
