Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Ex

Chapter 2 Onika’s POV Two years later,Today was going to be a lot, a great day or a disaster, I didn’t know which and I certainly couldn’t tell. My heart groaned as I tried to get a hold of myself by taking a glass of water and taking it all in a single gulp.A lot of thoughts crowded my mind as I pondered on what I was supposed to center my thoughts on. Frustration was starting to slip in, mixing in with anxiousness.I was feeling very hot even though the room was well-ventilated. A lot of people were going to be present today and not just people, but Socialites of a very high social cadre. I could tell I was going to be intimidated by their presence because they were just… rich. I suddenly had mixed feelings about my paintings and presenting them.What if they didn’t like it? What if I was ridiculed? What if no one even bothers paying attention to it? I knew anxiousness was beginning to slip in and there was nothing I could do to calm myself.At that moment, the door to the r

Chapter 4Nathan's pov“Are they still bent on that same decision? Can’t you try talking to those you’re closer to? they shouldn’t be paying attention to a meaningless message.” Dion asked.I was on a distress call with Dion, my very good friend and business partner because right now I was about to lose everything I had worked for. My partners were threatening to disassociate because they got a message saying I wasn’t all stable because I wasn't married yet and although it seemed like a very stupid reason, they didn’t let me have a break about it leading to this call with Dion.“Tell me about it, and when I find whosoever was behind these shenanigans, I’m not letting him off the hook for any reason, this is costing me a lot,” I said, burying my face into my hands. “We are going to have to find a way around it or else we just go ahead with what they want. Getting married shouldn’t be a problem for someone like you. You have Regina, remember?”“Yes, I d…” my voice trailed when the rea

Onika’s POV As I stood before the full-length mirror, checking myself out, my mind went back to my last discussion with Nathan yesterday. “So, where should we meet so we could talk more about this proposal of yours?” I asked.“I’ll think about a nice location and I'll text you the address tomorrow,” He replied.“Okay,” I answered.Just when he was about to say something, I ended the call abruptly. I didn't want to hear anything else he had to say.Fast forward to today, I was putting on a red dress and was looking really good. I couldn't help but admire myself.The way I was dressed, one would think that I was going out on a real date. But I mentally reminded myself that I was only going out with Nathan as a part of my revenge plan.“You're doing this for one reason, Onika - revenge. Don't get carried away. This is all just a contract,” I said to myself.Staring deeper into the mirror, I said out loud,“Nathan, I'm going to make you pay for everything you've done to me. I'll make su

Onika’s Pov.“If you are so confident about it, so be it.” Laura sounded like she did not trust me even after I tried to convince her.“I have to go now.” She added and before I could even respond, she hung up. Silly girl.I immediately fell back into my world of thoughts and for the first time in a very long time, I began to doubt my capabilities.Was I going to do everything I claimed I could do? Was I going to be able to risk falling in love with Nathan again?Soon, I got distracted when I heard my phone ring out loudly.The phone wasn't far from where I lay because I had just concluded talking to Laura.“What does he need from me this time?” I saw it was Nathan. Only God knows what he wanted this time around.I swiped my phone and picked it up.“Am I not entitled to have some rest anymore or does the contract say you can call me anytime you wish?”I heard him let out a loud sigh and began to wonder if I was doing too much, I didn't care either way he deserved every single thing

ONNIKA’S POVThe car ride was utterly silent as we weaved through the traffic, but I was painfully aware of his leg brushing against mine, and I was beginning to wonder if he was doing it on purpose, but his gaze remained glued to the passing scenery outside the window.I couldn't deny the heat from where our bodies made contact, and I really didn't like it, so I jerked my leg away from his, a scoff escaping my lips.He turned to me at the gesture, confusion in his features. “What happened? Are you okay?” He asked, looking me over.In an attempt to avoid his gaze, I pulled my phone out of my purse and started randomly clicking through stuff on social media. “Your leg was touching mine”“Is that such a bad thing? You didn't mind when we were dating” He muttered under his breath, looking out the window again.I snapped my neck to look at him, a scowl fast forming on my lips. “Yeah, thanks for the reminder, Nathan. That was two years ago, don't give me that shit now” I reminded him.He t
