All Chapters of Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Nortia's POV The words I had just heard reverberated in my ear, I had placed a palm against the door wanting to confront my aunt because that had been her voice I had just heard when someone said.“ She tried, she went to his office and he chased her off, didn't she tell you that? There is no way he would want her, Alexis wouldn't want someone like her” A slap resonated through the air before a voice came up, rage coating every inch. “There is nothing that will be too hard for her to do, we have to do that, her father wants her with him and she doesn't have a choice, he is a better choice than Maxwell and we are getting him, and that's final” My appetite was ruined in an instance, to think that I had put up my hopes too high and had actually thought they wanted me back but this wasn't for me, my uncle had done this for Samantha so she would be with Alexis, but Maxwell was here also, how was that going to be possible?I couldn't get off the thoughts that Alexis hadn't said a word t

Alexis's POV “ What happened?” Nortia wanted to know when I stepped out, the house forgotten behind us. I didn't want to bring up the talk that they had given Samantha to me, for a start, it was mainly because I didn't know how she was going to feel about it and it would be best if I didn't. Also, it was going to prolong talks and when they did, it would be best if I really stayed out of it, I didn't want to hurt her feelings. “ It's nothing,” I explained, taking my position behind the wheel, while still fuming in rage at what I had just heard. I guessed I should be expecting it but I thought they would have some sort of respect for Maxwell as he was in the same space with them and being in the same space as them meant a lot. “Alexis” she called out suddenly, startling me. “ You are driving, if something is wrong then you should talk to me about it, I deserve to know since I brought you here in the first place” I shook my head at her, worried that I had made her feel tense in a

Nortia's POV My heart took a dip at what I had just been told as I tried to fathom if I had heard correctly. The man suited his black kept his hands pointed at the black Rolls Royce ushering me toward it “ I am sorry, but I don't know anyone and I am not obligated to go with someone I don't know” I answered, biting on my lips because I knew that was a lie.I knew that it wasn't even that, the man in there has to be Alexis' father because he had called the name, Mr. Williams and it caused chills to run down my spine at what I had just been told.Being unable to fathom what he was asking after me for, because i knew there was no way it would be because he wanted to know me, if he wanted to know about me or needed an introduction, then he would have sent for I and Alexis, but this was about just me because he was here for me. I swallowed, trying to get the lump on my throat back down but it stuck adamantly, passer-by watched but no one was bored to interfere, who would want to do so w

Nortia's POVI didn't know how it had been possible for me to keep my cool but I knew I had done a very good job because I had left with a smile while his face held a poker as I sauntered off. A sigh left my lips while I gazed right outside, I was perplexed in a way because the restaurant that had been chosen was so close to my working place that I had thought about what anyone who knew me would say. I wasn't one who was one to talk, as I kept to myself a lot but even at that, I knew humans and they were always one to talk, I hoped that no one would be able to get a whiff of what had happened, not even Alexis. I wasn't sure if he knew that his father didn't like me, if his father hadn't been vocal with it because what I had just seen had caught me off guard and I wanted to know if he didn't but I just couldn't walk into his office right about now. What would I say if I go in? There would be nothing for me to say and even if I did, it wouldn't make any sense at all. When the car ca

Nortia's POV“ You are joking, right?” Because there was nothing else she would say which would make me believe that she wasn't. “ Do I look like I am to you?” She questioned, a hand underneath her boobs. “ You are because there is no way you would be saying this if you were sane? Do you think you will get me to because of some measly file?” I questioned waiting for her to give an answer. Using Alexis at any chance she had was stupid, it was going to take something worse than that to get me to leave him, at least until I get the money I was promised and fulfill my part of the agreement. My heart tensed a bit when I thought about leaving my child behind after all of this. I was nothing more than a surrogate mother here, and I was supposed to adhere to the terms but it was suddenly hard for me to do so. What has changed?“ It is fine if you think it's measly, go about your job and I hope you know how much of a mistake you just made” I watched as she sauntered away,her heels clicked
