“Bry…” Alexa became short of breathe, her chest pounding softly in fear, confusing etched on her face.

She looked around and even asked some people around, but no one saw him.

At this point, she didn't know whether to think he was pranking her or something had happened.

Suddenly, the air waves carried a familiar voice to her ears.

Out of curiosity and confusion of how she could hear that voice at the water falls, her body turned faster than lightening and her jaw dropped at who she saw.

“I didn't even mean what I said. I just wanted to make sure you had the right choice, my son” Mrs Clampett said to Bryan where they stood beside the window in an enclosed hut. It painted all white, and it's woods arranged in diagonal and straight patterns. It was decorated with white and pink petals.

It was obvious it was reserved for really important people.

    Chapter 89It was a sunny afternoon, Chris had just come back from his shift, he dropped his bag carelessly on the couch in the sitting room and dragged his legs to the room. He lay on his bed, facing the ceiling, his face masked with sadness.‘Should I have accepted to see mum?’ he thought within himself, turning to the other side, facing the window. His financial situation had been bad, they fed on junks and fizzy drinks. He lost his job and recently started working where James got a part time role. ‘Should I just stop this revenge game I’m playing on Bryan and go back to my family? That’s why I’m practically broke’When he was working a good job, he spent a heavy amount of money to place Lisa in Bryan’s house and a source of information, then he kept her on a payroll and paid a lump sum of money for any major move he had her to make.

  • Alexa, the Billionaire's Contract Wife   Letters

    Chapter 88Mrs Clampett's eyes lit up as soon as she heard Bryan mention chris, the pace of her breath increased “What about Chris please?” she moved forward, sitting on the edge of her chair. “I’ve got good news…” Bryan looked straight into his mother’s eyes “... and bad news” he added. “The good news first please” she said after considering it for a while, clutching her hand on the edge of the chair, unable to hide her vulnerability. “I found out where he is. He stays somewhere in Oklahoma and I could only get details of his work place” “How… how did you find out so fast?” her eyes lit with relief, surprise mixed with curiosity. “Brown, Brown is in Oklahoma and they met at some point” Mrs Clampett nodded, her joints relaxing and jaw unclenching.“He works there part time, I don’t….”“My son works a part time job? What?” She exclaimed, cutting Bryan.“Well, that’s the good news. I think there should be a bracing up for the next”Bryan sighed, then he continued. “Here’s what

    Chapter 87NEWS“Billionaire Bryan just assured the public of his plan to ensure their company rises back to standard as he quoted “Everything is under control”. He went…”Sara grabbed the remote and shut down the T.V instantly, flinging the remote to the other side. “Arrant rubbish” she hissed. “Under control…” she laughed hysterically. “Under what control” she said, laughter erupting between her words. “Well, he said ‘everything is under control’, he didn’t specify whose control, maybe his and maybe someone smarter and 10 steps ahead” another hysterical laughter hurried out of her mouth. Charles on the other end had found out some things were going wrong, but he could not trace it and recently, the company had been doing well. No one thought Sara was capable of doing anything, other than dating 3 to 5 guys at a time and dumping them when she was tired. He tried to trace who Sara was partnering with but could not find anyone both online and offline. Charles was already backing

  • Alexa, the Billionaire's Contract Wife   A Quick Encounter

    Chapter 86Ring ring ringAlexa fingers searched the stool beside her bed, trying to put off the ringing alarm. “Is it 6 alreadyyy?… Oh no”She rubbed her eyes. “It felt like 3 minutes” she yawned and sat up, stretching her arms, her bones making some sounds. She slept just two hours ago after breastfeeding Keon. It started last night when she thought she would just feed him and he would go to bed, but from 9pm the day before, Keon only gave 10-15 minutes break before crying again and Alexa fed him. At one point, she no longer tried to sleep back because she was expecting him to cry again. By 4am when she put him to bed again, she was waiting for him to just cry again and didn’t know when she fell asleep. Thankfully, he didn’t cry again.“Arghhh, I feel so tired” she looked at Keon, sleeping soundly beside her, a smile ran across her lips, so did a tear find an escape and dropped down her cheeks at the same time. It was tears of joy. Who would have believed that what she thought

    Chapter 85It was 10pm, Sara dropped the straighter on the floor carelessly. She ran her hand through her blonde hair and adjusted the curls. “Perfect” She stood up and wore her slider stilettos. Ring ring ringShe walked to her birkin purse and brought out her phone. It was Olive calling. She sighed and tossed the phone on the bed. She turned her back to leave and the phone rang again. “Hey Olive, what’s up?” Her voice low and irritation written across her face. “Hi Sara, will you be free tomorrow night?” Olive asked at the other end of the phone.“I’m busy” She said after a few seconds of pause. “Okay, sooo, you’re home tonight”“No” she barked immediately before she realised it.“Oohh… you sound like… am I disturbing you?” “Not really, I’m just in the middle of something really important… I’m… trying to sort out somethings” “All right then. Care to tell me what that is about” “Sorry Olive, I have to go now, talk to you later” she cut the phone and flung it on the bed so fas
