CONTRACT MARRIAGE WITH MR C.E.O
BLURB
"Boss, these are the pictures of the lady's face. It's a good thing the hotel's Surveillance camera captured her perfectly." Davis uttered as he placed the file containing the pictures in front of him.
With a deep frown on his face, he picked up the file and carefully brought out the pictures. He gasped at the young lady with Grey eyes, plump lips, and platinum blonde hair. She's the epitome of beauty.
"I need every information about her by tomorrow. " Tristan Zachary ordered with his voice as cold as ice. "Okay boss " Davis immediately exited out of the well-furnished office.
The moment the office door was shut, Tristan stared into space lost in thought.
#Flashback#
Tristan groaned as he felt so much ache in his head. He managed to sit up on the hotel's bed while gazing around in awe.
With the lingering feminine scent that hit his nose, and seeing he was stark naked, Realization struck him hard. He immediately knew a lady was on his bed last night.
Due to his drunken state, he couldn't identify the mysterious lady's face.
A lady that was an exception from other ladies, Tristan still finds it hard to believe he had gotten that close to a lady without feeling sick. He instantly wants to find the lady and confirm his fears.
"Davis" Tristan calls out as the room door was instantly pushed open by his assistant.
"Boss" Davis uttered with a bow of his head.
"You saw a lady step out of this room right?" He couldn't help the anxiety in his voice.
Davis knew his boss has a phobia for ladies, and was taken aback by his sudden outburst.

Chapter: EPILOGUE "Natasha!!!" Mrs Zachary yelled from the sitting room catching the attention of both Old Zachary and Natasha herself."Mother are you okay? Is anything the problem?" Natasha asked her."What's the problem honey?" old Zachary asked."It's nothing, there's no problem at all." she said with a smile on her face."Then why did you scream like that?" old Zachary asked her."Guess what, Tristan said he's coming back and he wants a family dinner organized this evening.

Chapter: CHAPTER 201"I pray she really finds a place in her heart to forgive me, I will do anything she wants just to get her forgiveness. I promise I'm not that kind of a man, I was drunk, young and stupid." Anthony said pouring out her feelings."I know her mother didn't deserve any of the things I did to her and I deeply regret doing those stupid things." Anthony continued."I'm sorry, I really am." Anthony added."I can already see that you are a good man but, we are going to have to do more than this to convince her and make her forgive you." Tristan said with his hands on his shoulder."Jasmine lived a really difficult life growing up and it wouldn't have been that bad if you were there for her." Tristan added."I didn't even know she existed, if I had known. I would have looked for her all these years, this is what I've spent almost thirty years doing. Finding her mother, so I can make amends of all the mistake I've made." Anthony said."Hmmm it's okay but, we need her to calm down first. So she d

Chapter: CHAPTER 200"What are you saying Sir, I don't even know you. Tristan have you seen this man before?" Jasmine asked him and he shook his head."No I have not," he said also surprised as well. Anthony couldn't stop crying, he just couldn't hold himself back."Boss please hold yourself back, you need to calm down. I know how much you have waited for this moment your entire life." James said encouraging his boss."I'm sorry, I just can't hold myself back. I can't believe I found out I'm a father and a grandfather the same day. This is just the best day of my life." Antony said."Sir please I don't know you or what you are talking about but you definitely got the wrong person. My father is not here but, back in our city." Jasmine said."I know this is is hard to believe, I can't believe it as well. We will get a DNA test results done to be sure as well but, I know I can't be wrong about this." he said."Mr Gomez must know you are not his daughter and that must be the reason why they treated you bad al

Chapter: CHAPTER 199One of the nurses came around and asked some questions."She's my wife and she just fell, please check her and make sure nothing happens to her." Tristan said and handed her over to a male nurse who placed her on a stretcher."Boss are you okay?" James asked Anthony seeing he didn't make any move at all. He just stood still."She's my daughter," Anthony said."What!" James was shocked."Jasmine is my daughter James, she's my daughter. James I have a child, Jasmine is my child." Anthony said repeatedly."Boss are you sure of what you are saying?" he asked him."I'm sure of what I'm saying James, let's get going. I have to be with my daughter right now, she needs me." he said and rushed inside the hospital to be with Jasmine.Jasmine opened her eyes weakly, she looked around and didn't know where she is at the moment. "Jasmine! My love! Hey Jasmine!" Tristan called as soon as he saw her open her eyes. Jasmine heard her name being called by a familiar voice. She turned her face to check

He only need to escape with her right now, he will take her far away where no one will ever see them both again. Once again, he doesn't really care about how she feels. He's sure she will get used to life over there one way or the other.Anthony and James also arrived at the hotel rights after. Anthony saw Bryan carrying Jasmine, something seems to be wrong so he ran to them."What happened to Jasmine?" Anthony asked him."Who are you and how is that your business?" Bryan asked, he's really in a hurry now and the last thing he needs is to be delayed by someone he doesn't even know."I just want to help, we can take her to the hospital in my car. She doesn't look so well," Anthony said looking worried."Just stay away, I will take her to the hospital myself. I don't need help from anyone."

I'm so tired." he said and James obliged, they entered into their car and left the restaurant.Bryan stood by the road feeling very angry and stressed. He can't believe this is really happening to him."Why didn't you check if the car was working well before you started work today? Now I'm going to be late for my appointment." he said really angry. He really needs to get to the hotel, this might be his only chance to get Jasmine."I'm really sorry sir, I didn't know the car was going to misbehave like this." the driver said."Boss isn't that Mr Bryan?" James asked Anthony."Really? Where? Is he with Jasmine?" he asked."No boss, I can't see Miss Jasmine, so I think he's all alone." he said a

WANTING MY BILLIONAIRE EX-WIFE
"Miguel, I'm happy for this moment..."
Ximena wrapped her arms around his neck as she cooed lovingly, mixed with the gasp due to the finished 'strenuous action',
Just before she could mutter, "I love you," the man murmured in a hoarse voice.
"Tan..."
Ximena froze.
Tan was Tania Roberto, the first love of Miguel Ricardo. Tania hasn't returned to the country, she has stayed abroad all these years.
But, just yesterday, she arrived back in Mexico.
Moreover, she had sent Ximena several provocative text messages. She wasn't yet over her ex.
"Ximena, I'm back! You have to vacate from the Ricardo family! I'm back to take back what rightfully belongs to me."
"Miguel and I are childhood sweethearts. Did you think you could replace me in just a few years? Get out! Get back to the streets where you're likely to belong. You're doomed to remain in the streets forever."

Chapter: CHAPTER 45The car was silent, like a breath held underwater.Paris blurred past the window in streaks of gold and glass, but Ximena wasn’t watching it. Her gaze was anchored somewhere deeper—on the flicker of red silk that danced along the inside hem of her gown every time the city lights caught it just right. The replica hugged her body like a second skin, but that crimson lining?That wasn’t fashion.It was a warning. A memory. A declaration.She scrolled through her phone absently. No messages. No calls. Not even a useless update from Marco.Her thumb hovered over her contacts for a moment—paused on *Miguel*. Then moved on.The only sound in the car was the faint mechanical click of passing street signs and the echo of Marco’s words looping in her head.**“Santiago Cortez owns forty-nine per cent.”**Forty-nine wasn’t control.But it was enough to destabilize everything.She forced a slow breath past her lips, one that did nothing to untangle the coil of pressure in her chest. Not fear—some

Chapter: CHAPTER 44The thread glowed under the lamplight like blood spun into silk.Ximena sat cross-legged on the chaise in her suite, her tablet beside her, sketchbook open on her lap. She’d pinned the red thread directly against the original Crimson Core sketch—the exact design that had been traced and returned to her in that envelope.It matched. Exactly. Same tensile sheen. Same cut finish.This wasn’t a coincidence— it can never be called a coincidence!She traced her finger over the faint pencil etching beneath the hem of the traced version: *Look again.*She had. And now she couldn’t stop.The ghost stitch was still there in the traced version—two subtle lines placed precisely in the shoulder seam. But something still nagged at her. She picked up the envelope again and ran her fingers across the inside. Nothing. Not even a hair or a scent.Then she held the traced sketch under the desk lamp. Slowly. Angled it from the bottom edge toward the top. The shadows shifted across the page—and there, bar

Chapter: CHAPTER 43The next evening.Ximena slipped off her heels as the door to her suite clicked shut behind her. Paris glittered through the glass-panelled windows, but the lights in the suite were low, casting long shadows against marble and velvet.She was drained. The summit had been relentless—endless panels whispered rumours about her and Miguel, and questions she wasn’t ready to answer. Her thoughts ached louder than her heels.She stepped toward the bathroom to wash off the day—but stopped cold.A single red silk thread looped around the handle of the bathroom door.Thin. Delicate. Impossible.Her breath hitched.She knew that thread.No—she had *designed* with it. The exact texture, weight, and colour were unmistakable. It was part of her concept sketches for the **Crimson Core** collection—a line so private, she hadn’t even shared it with Antonio Fashion’s creative board yet. It existed in a secure, offline folder—only accessible on her encrypted tablet.Heart hammering, she crossed the room

Chapter: CHAPTER 42The quiet in the suite was too heavy to be peaceful. Ximena sat up slowly, the silken sheets slipping off her shoulders like a memory she didn’t want to keep. The room was still, untouched since last night—except for the red box on the console near the door. She hadn’t dreamt it. It was still real. She rose without thinking, her bare feet making no sound on the polished wood floor, and crossed the suite with sharp, deliberate movements. She opened the safe. The gloves were there, resting like folded shadows. But the note—gone.There had been a note. Not left by her. Left *for* her. Last night, she’d placed it inside the box for safekeeping. Just a sentence. Just a test. Now it was missing.Her throat tightened, not with fear, but with something colder. Intrusion. She shut the safe slowly and stood for a moment, staring at her reflection in the dark glass of the minibar. The idea of being watched—it wasn’t new. But being *touched*, being accessed, that was different. And whoever di

Chapter: CHAPTER 41The jet landed in Paris just as dawn broke, casting a pale mist over the runway. The early morning light reflected off the wet tarmac, softening the sleek lines of the aircraft. As the cabin doors opened, Ximena stepped out first, heels clicking on the stairway, followed closely by Miguel.They walked in silence, just inches apart, the space between them tense and charged. Cameras flashed from a distance. Parisian media had caught wind of their arrival. And though neither of them acknowledged it, the photos would be everywhere within the hour—two former spouses, now rivals, landing at the same summit.A black luxury car waited for Ximena. The driver bowed slightly, opening the door with precise timing. “Ms. Antonio. Welcome to Paris. Hotel Virelle is ready for your arrival.”Miguel’s transport pulled up right behind her. To her surprise, he was also headed to the same hotel.“We’re at the same hotel?” she asked, stepping into the car but keeping her tone neutral.Miguel raised an ey

Chapter: CHAPTER 40The sun was barely up when Ximena Antonio stepped into her office, her heels clicking against the marble floor. A stack of press clippings, emails, and design mockups were already spread out across her desk—but her eyes weren’t on any of them.Her assistant, Lia, entered quietly with a thick, cream-colored envelope in her hand.“This just arrived by courier,” she said. “It’s… expensive.”Ximena raised an eyebrow, reaching for the envelope. The paper was heavy, embossed with a golden crest. She flipped it open and pulled out the invitation inside.Her breath caught for just a second.It was an official invitation to the **Global Luxury Fashion & Tech Summit** in Paris—**Antonio Fashion had been nominated for the Global Innovation Award.**She skimmed the details quickly, her mind moving fast.Not just the award. The attendees. The timing.But what made her stop completely… was the handwritten note clipped to the top corner. *“I’ve been watching your work from a distance. It’s time we

Chapter: CHAPTER 167Claire sat across from Lucas and Prince Will in the small café near the courthouse, her hands wrapped tightly around her coffee cup. The warm steam curled into the air, but she barely felt it. Her mind was set on what she was about to say.Lucas watched her carefully, his deep honey-gold eyes filled with something unreadable. Prince Will, on the other hand, leaned back slightly, observing her with quiet curiosity.Claire took a deep breath. “I’ve made a decision,” she said finally.Lucas’s jaw tightened slightly. “What decision?”Claire exhaled. “I’m moving away. I’m taking Brian with me to another city.”Silence.Lucas’s entire body went still. PrinceWill raised an eyebrow but said nothing.Lucas’s fingers tapped against the table once, twice, before curling into a fist. “You’re taking Brian away from me?”Claire swallowed hard. “Lucas, after everything that happened… I need a fresh start. Brian needs a fresh start. He deserves to live in a place where he isn’t constantly looking ove

Chapter: CHAPTER 166Claire sat in the hospital waiting room, her hands clenched together so tightly that her knuckles turned white. The sterile smell of antiseptic filled the air, and the soft murmurs of nurses and doctors blended into the background. But she heard none of it.All she could think about was Lucas.He had lost so much blood. The doctors had been inside the operating room for hours. Every time the doors swung open, her heart leaped into her throat, but it was never the news she wanted.Her entire body was stiff with exhaustion, but she couldn’t rest. Not when his life was hanging by a thread.She leaned forward, burying her face in her hands. “Please, just let him be okay,” she whispered to no one in particular.A sudden commotion near the nurses’ station caught her attention. Several people had gathered around the television mounted on the wall, murmuring among themselves.Claire frowned and slowly stood up, walking toward them. The screen displayed breaking news, and her heart nearly st

Chapter: CHAPTER 165Lucas barely had time to react.A sharp pain exploded at the back of his head as Chloe struck him, making him stumble forward. He caught himself against the wall, breathing heavily, trying to stay steady.“Don’t move,” Chloe hissed.Lucas turned his head slightly and saw her holding a gun, her hands trembling just enough to show her nerves.“Chloe,” he said slowly, keeping his hands where she could see them. “You don’t want to do this.”Chloe let out a bitter laugh. “You think you know what I want?” Her grip tightened around the weapon. “I wanted you, Lucas. I wanted us to be together, but you threw me away like garbage!”Lucas took a cautious step forward. “You know that’s not true.”“Don’t lie to me!” Chloe shouted, her breath ragged. “You chose her. You always chose her!”Lucas exhaled, forcing himself to remain calm. One wrong move and this could end badly.“I didn’t choose anyone, Chloe. This isn’t about that. It’s about you making the wrong choices,” Lucas said, his voice steady.

Chapter: CHAPTER 164Kelvin sat in the interrogation room, his hands cuffed to the table, sweat dripping down his forehead. The walls felt like they were closing in, and the harsh overhead light made it impossible to escape the cold, hard truth—he was caught.Across from him, PrinceWill leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. His gaze was sharp, unwavering.“Let’s try this again,” PrinceWill said. “Who else was involved?”Kelvin licked his dry lips. “I already told you everything.”PrinceWill tapped a pen against the table. “Lying won’t help you, Kelvin.”Kelvin clenched his jaw, looking away.PrinceWill sighed. “We already have enough to put you away for a long time. The only thing that’ll make your life easier is if you cooperate.”Kelvin’s fingers twitched. He knew he didn’t have a way out of this.“Fine,” he muttered. “Chloe.”PrinceWill didn’t react, but his grip on the pen tightened. “Go on.”Kelvin exhaled heavily. “She planned everything. She was the one who arranged for Brian to be taken to the

Chapter: CHAPTER 163PrinceWill sat in his office, his eyes fixed on the stack of reports in front of him. The search for Brian had gone cold, and frustration was eating him alive. Claire had been coming to the station every single day, her face pale with exhaustion, her eyes swollen from endless crying. It hurt to see her like that.He had promised to help her. He couldn’t fail.A knock on the door made him glance up. One of his officers stepped in, looking hesitant.“Sir, we still haven’t recovered any CCTV footage from the night Brian was taken. It’s like everything was wiped clean,” the officer said.PrinceWill let out a slow breath, rubbing his temples. “There has to be something. No way a child disappears in a city like this without leaving a trace.”The officer sighed. “We’ve checked all nearby buildings. All footage was mysteriously deleted.”PrinceWill clenched his jaw. This wasn’t a coincidence. Someone had done this on purpose.“Sir,” another officer peeked into the room, his expression tense.

Chapter: CHAPTER 162Chloe smirked as she looked through the small window into the children’s area.Brian was sitting alone, his little face filled with sadness.Soon, he would be out of the picture for good.And Claire would never see him again.Brian kicked his legs slowly as he sat on the wooden bench inside the orphanage playroom, watching the other children run around. He didn’t want to play. He didn’t want to be here.He wanted his mother.Tears stung his eyes, but he blinked them away. His mom always told him to be strong. But how could he be strong when he was stuck in this place with no idea when he would see her again?Then he saw her.His little heart pounded as he spotted the familiar blonde-haired woman walking through the hallway, her heels clicking against the floor.Chloe.She was the one who brought him here.She knew where his mother was.Brian jumped up, his small feet moving as fast as they could. He ran toward her just as she was about to step into an office.“Miss… please.”Chloe sto
