บททั้งหมดของ THE CEO’s CONTRACT SUGAR BABY: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

LEXIE’S POV It’s been six days since my heart shattered into a million pieces. Six days since I last saw him, as he wouldn’t come home. Six days since I realised that Damian couldn’t be mine, that I was nothing but a fleeting moment for him. It was just in the span of a few days that I understood, with a soul-crushing finality, that I was just a joke to him. I could leave; in fact, I was supposed to leave. Our contract ended earlier than it should, right? And I was supposed to sign the divorce agreement, isn’t it? But what if? What if I still had a chance with him? What if things could change? “He can still love me. I know it.” Jenny’s anger pierced through my thoughts like sharp arrows. “What the actual fuck is wrong with you?!” she exploded; her face was masked with frustration. I had been echoing the same thing over and over since I got to Jenny’s house. “I love him.” She exhaled heavily; her fingers ran through her thick blonde hair as she stared at me in disb

LEXIE’S POV “This is E-Gossip, and we’re back with the latest celebrity gossip. Pictures circulating of the billionaire CEO, Damian Valour, and the millionaire heiress, Victoria Hayes, have got fans in a chokehold.” I stared at my phone; the screen glowed with the faces of the ones making my emotional state even more miserable. My heart sank as I heard the familiar buzz of the latest scandal; the blogs had been eating Victoria’s return back like hot cheetos. “The two love birds were spotted taking a romantic walk in the city yesterday. Which leaves fans wondering, are they officially back together? Should we be expecting a wedding?…… “The more challenging question was, What happened to his other woman? Was she a side piece, a potential scandal we could look into, or did they have a fal……” Before I could digest the rest of what was bad for me, Jenny snatched the phone from my hands and threw it across the room. It landed on the opposite couch with a soft thud. “Do you wan

The courage I thought I had crumbled under the weight of his authority, and that was my issue. I always became a mess the minutes he started showcasing his dominance, almost like that was what I craved from him. I found myself getting in the car with no further questions asked, talking about a “yes, daddy” moment. He slammed the door shut with anger, and by the time I turned, he was already in the driver’s seat. The drive home was awkwardly silent; he wasn’t ready to say a word to me, and I didn’t want to talk to him either. I didn’t owe him any explanations, the same way he didn’t feel he had to explain anything to me when it came to Victoria. I sat there tensed and upset, while Damian’s jaw clenched in his reflection in the window. His anger was like a thick and suffocating atmosphere. We arrived home, and he swerved angrily into the compound. I almost hit my head on his dashboard, and I closed my eyes in anticipation, but as I opened them, I felt a hand hold down my ch

DAMIAN’S POV “Fucking 500 million dollars, that’s the amount I lost today!” I roared, as I slammed my fist aggressively on the dashboard. My eyes had been glued to Aiden’s tablet, as I monitored my company stats obsessively, and just today alone, look how much I lost My hand clenched into a tight fist, I was fighting so much anger, that my knuckles turned white from the force, my breaths came in heavy and ragged bursts. “Damian, I need you to please calm down…” Aiden begged, as he kept his eyes on the road. This would be the first time in a while that I had let anyone else drive me apart from myself, I didn’t trust anyone else to drive me. The thought of it terrified me, it was one of my major fears that no one knew the reason why… But I trusted Aiden, I didn’t have that level of trust for anyone except him…. I didn’t take Aiden as my half-brother, instead I saw and treated him like we came from the same womb, my mother’s. I turned to the window, as I tried to calm the

LEXIE’S POV I groaned at the multiple ads that kept playing over and over on this website I stumbled on… “Are you having bad breath? Do you need a quick solution…” the voice over said God know, and of course I don’t a need new freaking toothpaste. What was it with website and ads? First they tell you accept all cookies, which I did because I had no idea what they were talking about, but if they could literally shove their ads into your throat then they would. I had been up all night, as I scrolled mindlessly through the job listings on my phone. It wasn’t like I couldn’t get a laptop now that I had little money, but use it for what? The past few days had left me reeling, and I needed to find a way out-away from Damian, away from Victoria, away from all the drama and just back to the normal life I knew before. But if I was going to leave, I had to secure a job first. How else would I take care of my mother? Or get a roofs over our heads? Jenny wouldn’t mind housing my m
