All Chapters of Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Alexis's POV I was here already before I could stop myself from coming, it was hard concentrating after my parents had said all of those and I knew I had to be here, to see her. I needed to be sure my Nortia was fine and I needed to be the shoulder to lean on if she needed me to be there for her. “Alexis” she had whispered my name and I knew she was trying so hard not to run into my arms, so I did, I pulled her into mine, caressing her back. I had ordered her guard off when I had gotten here, waiting for when it would be late in the evening, I was ready to wait hours, no matter how long it was going to take for her to step out and when she finally did, I was perplexed but I had stopped myself from asking, not yet when she seemed like she had been through a lot. “ Is something wrong?” I questioned, still caressing her hair when she stared at me with those doe-like eyes, that melted every single fiber in me and made me want to fight whoever it was who was making my Nortia's life mi

Alexis's POV I should have known that getting her to come was going to take even more than I had thought because it seemed whatever my father had done didn't leave a good impression on her and so she didn't want to come so I was left with cancelling whatever plans they had made. So they finally decided to bring it over instead of just letting her come over. I was stunned that my father had agreed but since they didn't have a problem with it and he didn't as well, not that he could ever reject my mother wanting anything and she was so pissed because he had ended up hurting her best friend’s daughter who she happened to be a godmother to so she had gotten him to trudge along. I was up before dusk making sure that everything would be perfect just like they wanted it to, it was going to take more work than usual but I paid well enough and the tips were usually huge so I didn't really didn't see why they would have any problems with that. I chewed on my nails, anxious, why was I feeli

Nortia's POV The words were out before I could stop them and I was left with no other choice than to explain why exactly I had said that, turning my face to the side, I waited for Alexis to help me out of this but there was nothing from him. I turned to his mother who was waiting and the look on her face didn't settle down well with me. “ Is there a problem? Why don't you want to be included? I will really like it, I wish everyone would know how beautiful my daughter in law is and I want everything to know Alexis is taken” she said excitedly. I would have liked that, there would be nothing else that I would have wanted aside from that, but that would be breaching what I had with Alexis. He wouldn't be so pleased with it and I didn't want to overstep my boundary, the one where he depicted a straight line which I was never going to cross or I was supposed to do so. “ We would like to do that,” Alexis said, stunning me. I flickered my eyes at him wanting to know what he meant by th

Nortia's POV I tried to look past the fact that we were approaching the restaurant while my godmother's hand rested on mine. My heart slammed consistently while I tried to think about what exactly she had said a while ago. I didn't have a choice since she looked so happy and I didn't want to hurt her feelings, finding out that she knew about my arrangements with Alexis had come at a shock, as she had been eavesdropping instead of going downstairs as we thought she had done. “ Would you ever tell me what exactly happened there? How were you treated?” The silence punctured at the words she had just said. I exhaled deeply, not knowing what to say or rather where exactly I would start off from because it was a lot. “ I'm sorry if it hurt, I didn't mean to push on” “ It's fine” I seem to be saying that a lot. “ I don't really mind that at all, you don't have to apologize” “ I feel like I have failed Lily, if I had tried even harder just so I could get custody of you, then you wou

Nortia's POVMy knees sank, wanting to drop to the ground at her words when Alexis held me in his arms, I turned to her, eyes blurry as I asked. “ Are you sure? There has to be something?” “ We are left with no choice here ma'am, we would have really loved to help, but our hands are tied right now” she reported. I swallowed, at a loss at what to do or do because this was far from what I had been expecting, I knew I should have known that his mother would do something tricky but what I hadn't expected was this, what she had said was she would be living with us, but this wasn't it? “We have to stay in Nortia, besides we are married, why do we have to stay far away?” Alexis asked. Wriggling my hands out of his hold, I glared daggers at him because he was going back on what he had just said. I thought he was the one who had just been lamenting and wanted to stay away from me, why was he acting like a predator right now? “ You are happy, aren't you? Because it is all working the way
