Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman

Nortia's POV I had my hands wrapped firmly around the blue boxed wristwatch I had just gotten from a high end designer shop. A smile cascaded my face while I pictured the look on his face, he was going to love it. Maxwell had mentioned he wanted this once and I had decided to get it for him, although it had taken more effort than required, numerous hours at work, it was worth it. My feet traipsed up the steps as I headed to the room we both shared, a bottle of wine in one hand while the box was firmly grasped to the other. I hummed a song while contemplating on the perfect song to play. It was going to be our first night together, and I couldn't stop the thud of my heart. My eyes strayed to my finger while I chugged in a chuckle, who knows,I might be getting a ring, it was a milestone anyways,five years of being together. My feet came to a screeching stop, a hand around the door knob while I shook my head trying to push away the thoughts that swarmed my head. “ It isn't him, st

Nortia's POV “ You don't know how happy I am to see you here, Nortia” she uttered when we were alone, while flashing a smile at me. I rolled my eyes at her, at how effortlessly she was acting, and how pretentious she was. “ Get off this, aunty, we are all alone so there is no need for this pretense anymore” I tried to push past her when she said. “You know Samantha is engaged now, so it is only right that you do the same and I think I should make a choice since I have been like a mother to you all these while” A mother? Was she even being right? When exactly did she ever act like one? To me at that? “ Go on a blind date” “ What?” “Go on a blind date, I have the perfect person for you, you are single so it will work out…” “ I wouldn't be single if your daughter didn't take my bf away from me” I answered her when her brows crested at me. “ Your bf? You had a man? Who Maxwell?” She burst out into a peal of laughter,a hand against her chest as she did. I listened as the door cr

Nortia's POV I swallowed as I peered at the mirror, my reflection glancing back at me. I leaned against the wall, contemplating if I had to do this. Tears snaked down my cheek because I knew there was no way I wouldn't, I had to do it, for my parents. I had to make sure that this goes away. I gave myself a gentle tap on the face as I whispered to myself. “Get yourself right, you have to do this” I cajoled myself, whispering words as I said that. I let out a puff, my eyes glancing around at my closet as I tried to make out the most from it. I settled for a red gown that hung above my knees, a black heels and a black purse to match, since I had decided to do it. There was nothing wrong with dressing this way, right?I didn't want to give off more than I could take in. My hands circled the lip butter I had in-between my fingertips while I contemplated on if I was going to put it on, on second thought, I slipped it back into my purse, took a long stare at myself before striding o

Alexis’s POV The gentle thud of the door as it slammed against it hinges startled me up, my hands strayed to the far end of the bed, the cold I felt forced me up while I searched for her. She was nowhere to be found, had I been dumped? I had a hand on my knees as I wondered, all of these were a first for me. I have always had girls throwing themselves at me, countless ones coming closer, numerous ones wanting me to bed me, but none of them had left before I was awake. A small cackle left my lips as I chewed on my lips when my eyes caught it, that red spot that glared at me. “ Dammit” I pounded into my fist, my eyes dimming in to be certain I was seeing right. “ Asshole” I cursed myself. I should have known she was a virgin, she felt tight, and she felt so different, everything about her felt different from what I have known. From the very first moment when she had slammed that dollar bill on my shirt, I had been intrigued. Someone had done the same, but she had offered to warm

Nortia's POV I was seated before I found myself having regrets on why exactly I had let him pull me with him. I mean, I should have rebuffed him and stood my ground, why exactly should I be with him? I should be out there trying to get the money needed for my parents. “Take a chill” I jolted when his palm tapped on my lap, before flicking my eyes at him. Peeling his hands off, I asked. “ What do you think you are doing?” My words trailed off when he came to a screeching stop in front of a restaurant, one that I wouldn't be able to step in for years to come because I knew it requires reservations, and I was dead broke to even get one. My heart churned at whom he might be before I composed myself. My throat parched, and I was lost in my stream of thoughts when he got down, strolled around and pulled the door for me to get down. My orbs met his, piercing blue like those of a Siberian husky. “ Come” he held out a palm at me, waiting for me to take it which I did. “ What are we
