SARAH PIERCE

“Argh!” I squeezed my hair after Raya and I entered our room. How did we know it was meant for us? There was a silly, small signboard in front of the door. I almost thought I was at a club house showing me to the VIP section. “What was I thinking?” I sat on the carpeted floor. “It will take one million years to make that kind of money.”

“Mummy?”

“Mummy is thinking, Raya.” I sighed. “God, what do I do? I almost died paying off the other debt. How do I deal with this?” My heart squeezed at the thought of how hellish the past three years were for me. But I quickly erased the thought to avoid drowning into the depression that almost killed me after I had Raya. “Where do I start from?”

“Mummy, I am hungry.”

“Raya.” I chuckled with disbelief and a little bit of relief. “Five million dollars must mean nothing to you. Hmm. I envy you, my daughter.”

“Five?” Raya spread her fingers and glanced at it.

“Yes, five.”

“Pix. Seven. Eight?”

I laughed, but it was short-lived. The price of

  • Contract With The Ex That Left Me   Hashtag newlywed fever

    SARAH PIERCEI adjusted the wedding ring on my finger and ironed the pleat of the only fine dress I own. It feels great not to be dressed in my usual sweatpants and a t-shirt.And it thrills me that the next phase of my plan will soon activate.I can bet that Nathaniel would be pissed to see me, his lovely contract wife at his workplace. But what others would see is a beautiful, loving wife who came to deliver lunch to her husband. We might make it to the socials to Nathaniel’s annoyance. I wonder what the hashtag would be. Maybe hashtag newlyweds fever.From my seat in the lobby, I locked eyes with the receptionist, who clearly didn’t believe me when I introduced myself as Nathaniel’s wife. And it seemed the phone call she made to the upper room shocked her, because she and the other three at the desk could not stop glancing and whispering amongst themselves. While wondering if it was such a big deal that I was Nathaniel’s wife, the lobby suddenly became noisy. Nathaniel was the so

  • Contract With The Ex That Left Me   A scam?

    NATHANIEL STORM“We will speak about it after our meeting,” I replied seconds later. I can’t fully explain my need to know about Sarah’s ex, but as I once told Amir, it has to do with how I would hate for a strange man to suddenly come around and try to disrupt my plans. “Shall we go in for the meeting?”“Definitely.” Her gloat returned, and she followed Amir into the conference room. Once we were all settled, I went straight to the point. “Our arranged marriage was planned to facilitate an easy meagre between Pierce Fabrics and the Storm empire. My decision to get married to Sarah ruined that plan, so I must mend what was broken.”“Don’t tell me…” She leaned forward, briefly biting into her lower lip. “Are you going to divorce her? Already?”“No. I am simply getting rid of you.”“Huh?” My words slapped her confidence. “Hmm.” I pretended to think, my thumb toying with the ring on my second finger. “Better put, this is me hoping to shut you up so that you don’t disturb my new family.

  • Contract With The Ex That Left Me   Easy sleep

    NATHANIEL STORMI simply cannot believe it. For the first time in years, I slept soundly without incessant nightmares interfering. Though I briefly had just one terrible dream, Miss Pierce’s presence snapped me out of it. And despite the stunt that woman played, after recovering from her insolent words and unexpected kiss, I easily returned to bed and fell asleep.My theory was right. Though it is weird and difficult to explain, there is something about living with Sarah Pierce and her daughter that makes sleeping easier. Hmm… Interesting.I do hope my heart stops pounding now that I have figured that out.Now, back to Miss Pierce, and how she touched and… kissed me. God. That woman… Just when I thought I had her and her anger figured out, she went ahead and displayed a crazy side, openly defying the rules of our contract. Seriously, how could she kiss me? So easily?“Is there something stuck on your cheek?” Amir questioned, his head peeking from behind. “Huh?”He pointed at my

  • Contract With The Ex That Left Me   Breaking His Rules

    SARAH PIERCENathaniel distancing himself from us slightly disappointed me. See, I have devised some juicy plans and they must not go to waste. Without fail, I must frustrate Nathaniel Storm — and then, I’ll make him pay.And what better way to start if not breaking the silly rules he laid out?It is now nine pm, Raya is deeply asleep, and I am on my way to Nathaniel’s room. I will be breaking two rules tonight, and can’t wait to see how it turns out. Slowly, I pressed the doorknob of his door. His room was dimly lit, and I could not sense movement. I peeked into the room first and saw that he was asleep, his body curled in one corner of his huge bed. With a silly smile, I tiptoed to the right side of the bed and squatted in front of him. His closed eyes appeared uneasy, and his lips were frowning. After neglecting how a very tiny part of me was concerned about that, my left hand rested against his cheek, and I stroked it thrice. He stirred a bit, his lips frowning even more.

    SARAH PIERCEI clocked out on time, so I did not miss Raya’s drop-off by the school bus. “Mummy!” “My baby!” I lifted her into my arms and turned to her teacher, a friendly woman who heartily welcomed me three days ago when I came to inquire about the school. After collecting Raya’s lunch box and school bag, I said, “Thank you, Miss Sunshine. How did she do? Did she cry again?” Raya cried a lot yesterday, so much that I cried and struggled with an intense headache after. “Yes, Raya is adjusting well. I was proud of how she mingled with everyone today. She also seems to respect personal space.” Miss Sunshine flashed a grin that made Raya giggle. “I am very proud of her.”I breathed in relief. “That is good. I was constantly worried that she was struggling.”“However,” her tone increased as noise from the toddlers in the bus almost overpowered our conversation, “towards the end, something odd happened.”I felt a pang in my chest and hoped it wasn’t something terrible. “Is it bad?”“

    NATHANIEL STORM“What did you just say? “ I questioned the report the head of bodyguards just gave. “Rosaline Pierce confronted Miss Sarah at her job,” the man repeated. “Rosaline Pierce.” I crumpled the paper beneath my hand. “She keeps crossing her boundary. How do I get rid of her?”“Killing her is not an option,” Amir, my secretary, reminded me, and I almost sighed. One time. Just one time, I suggested murdering a business rival, and it was a joke. Amir then continued, “How about giving the Pierce family what they want?”“Hmm.” I fixed my eyes on his low cut. “Going back to our initial plan?” My gaze flickered to his eyes, which were wondering if his idea was good enough. “That could work.”He breathed hard; anyone passing by would think I just put him through the worst test. I sometimes wonder why I was graced with a dramatic secretary. “I will handle everything, Mr. Storm,” Amir replied. “I will report back before the end of work.”“I look forward to it.” I turned to the bo
