Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Ironic
Alexis's POV I was here already before I could stop myself from coming, it was hard concentrating after my parents had said all of those and I knew I had to be here, to see her. I needed to be sure my Nortia was fine and I needed to be the shoulder to lean on if she needed me to be there for her. “Alexis” she had whispered my name and I knew she was trying so hard not to run into my arms, so I did, I pulled her into mine, caressing her back. I had ordered her guard off when I had gotten here, waiting for when it would be late in the evening, I was ready to wait hours, no matter how long it was going to take for her to step out and when she finally did, I was perplexed but I had stopped myself from asking, not yet when she seemed like she had been through a lot. “ Is something wrong?” I questioned, still caressing her hair when she stared at me with those doe-like eyes, that melted every single fiber in me and made me want to fight whoever it was who was making my Nortia's life mi

Nortia's POV I couldn't help but watch the view in front of me, Alexis stood, a phone against his ears as he circled the air with his finger while speaking into it and that was oddly, the most sexy thing I have seen today. It was a huge relief from the multitude of problems which I had encountered and it lifted them off my shoulders. Running my tongue over my lips, I watched keenly, running my eyes through him, while trying to figure out how he would look like without the shirt on. “ Snap out of it, Nortia” I tapped on my cheek trying to get the thoughts out when I leaned against the window all over again, looking wasn't ever going to hurt, I fluttered my lashes when I saw that he was nowhere to be found. Turning around on my heels, I attempted to plop quickly into the couch when he stood in front of me and the word failed me, they just weren't coming out. “ Something interesting caught your view?” He asked, watching me closely. “Me?” I pointed a finger at myself. “ Of course

Alexis's POV I should have known that getting her to come was going to take even more than I had thought because it seemed whatever my father had done didn't leave a good impression on her and so she didn't want to come so I was left with cancelling whatever plans they had made. So they finally decided to bring it over instead of just letting her come over. I was stunned that my father had agreed but since they didn't have a problem with it and he didn't as well, not that he could ever reject my mother wanting anything and she was so pissed because he had ended up hurting her best friend’s daughter who she happened to be a godmother to so she had gotten him to trudge along. I was up before dusk making sure that everything would be perfect just like they wanted it to, it was going to take more work than usual but I paid well enough and the tips were usually huge so I didn't really didn't see why they would have any problems with that. I chewed on my nails, anxious, why was I feeli

Nortia's POV “ You knew my mom?” I found myself asking the woman who looked very inch like I had expected of the woman who would birth Alexis. She commanded respect and even though she had her hands around mine, I couldn't help but want to know more especially with her admitting that she knew my mother, it wasn't all the time I met someone who knew my mother or my parents, aside from my uncle and aunty, there was no one else. “ I tried everything to get you, but your uncle wasn’t bulging, I don't really know why but it seemed there was a clause to you getting the company at a certain age, we were best friends and so she had told me”“ Really?” My eyes sparkled at what I had just been told. “ I never thought I would find anyone like you, anyone who knew her, my uncle said they weren't close to anyone except them”“Lily was fire! I have to tell you, she was it all, brain, beauty, long legs, charming eyes and she knew exactly what she wanted, when she had told me she wanted to get mar

Nortia's POV The words were out before I could stop them and I was left with no other choice than to explain why exactly I had said that, turning my face to the side, I waited for Alexis to help me out of this but there was nothing from him. I turned to his mother who was waiting and the look on her face didn't settle down well with me. “ Is there a problem? Why don't you want to be included? I will really like it, I wish everyone would know how beautiful my daughter in law is and I want everything to know Alexis is taken” she said excitedly. I would have liked that, there would be nothing else that I would have wanted aside from that, but that would be breaching what I had with Alexis. He wouldn't be so pleased with it and I didn't want to overstep my boundary, the one where he depicted a straight line which I was never going to cross or I was supposed to do so. “ We would like to do that,” Alexis said, stunning me. I flickered my eyes at him wanting to know what he meant by th

Alexis's POV The glances when my mother stepped down told me something wasn't right but I couldn't get across to Nortia to know what exactly might have happened in there. “ I will be moving in after the date” my mother announced and my hands rolled my sleeves, while Nortia swallowed while taking a look at me before she averted her eyes to the ground “ Mother, you can't,” I said to her, because there was no way she could move in. First off, it wasn't what I had planned for and wasn't in the books as well. “That must have been a joke, right?” I cackled softly wanting it to be so when she grasped Nortia to herself. “My darling here said she has no problem with it, so what is wrong with me doing so?” My hand clenched into a ball while I waited for my father to say something but he was tight lipped just like always. Why must he be this way around her?“ Mother,” I called out to her. “ You can't, there is no way you are going to move in here, we just got married and we will need our

Nortia's POV I tried to look past the fact that we were approaching the restaurant while my godmother's hand rested on mine. My heart slammed consistently while I tried to think about what exactly she had said a while ago. I didn't have a choice since she looked so happy and I didn't want to hurt her feelings, finding out that she knew about my arrangements with Alexis had come at a shock, as she had been eavesdropping instead of going downstairs as we thought she had done. “ Would you ever tell me what exactly happened there? How were you treated?” The silence punctured at the words she had just said. I exhaled deeply, not knowing what to say or rather where exactly I would start off from because it was a lot. “ I'm sorry if it hurt, I didn't mean to push on” “ It's fine” I seem to be saying that a lot. “ I don't really mind that at all, you don't have to apologize” “ I feel like I have failed Lily, if I had tried even harder just so I could get custody of you, then you wou

Alexis's POV Words failed me at what she had just said while I tried to think about how she would think herself as not worthy enough of being stood up for. My hands held hers, heart breaking as the tears ran down her cheek, I tried to push past the thought that they hurt, seeing her in tears seemed like my heart was being torn and shredded into pieces and I didn't know what else to do, so my hand rested at her back, patting it gently. Each tap showing how much she meant to me more than the last, letting out a whiff of air when she finally stopped just in time for the car which came to a halt in front of the vacation home,she pulled her head at me, her face holding a smile. I beamed back at her, helping her out. “You are worth everything, Nortia” I had to let her know. “ Every single thing you are worth it all and that isn't going to change” She swallowed before turning her head around, her mouth pulling apart in surprise before she ran on the seashore. It was the weekend and a ge

Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Start afresh
Nortia's POVMy hand went underneath my chest in a fold while I tried to come up with what I was to do now and the next step of action to take but there was none that I could think about as my mind was blank. I knew that the best thing to do right away when get rid of the child but there was no way I was doing that neither would there be any way I will tell Alexis about this especially with how he had reacted at first, that amounted to him not wanting the child, but what Gerald had said changed everything and left me with conflicted feelings, which I needed to be sure about. How possible was it that he loved me that way and had no problem letting me go? I was having a hard time placing my hand on it as it seemed so out of place. If he actually loved me the way he had said, why had it been so easy for him to let me go? Running a hand across my eyes, I forced back the tears not wanting to complicate things than they already were, the emotions weren't going to be good for the child a
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Regrets
Alexis's POV Peering outside the window, I tried to ascertain what she would be doing right now, the gateman had stepped in not too long ago, given me details of how she had stepped out briskly not listening to anyone speaking to her before she walked out. He hadn't tried to stop her because no one else was supposed to but that didn't stop him from walking in here to get an answer on if she was supposed to be out there. I had waved him off, with a flick of my wrist, watching as he did what I had instructed without saying a word, now left to my thoughts, I had placed a call to Gerald giving orders that he should get in here, to take the papers to the lawyer. Time was ticking and although I really wanted to know what my parents would say if they found out what I had done, I will keep that away for now. My mom wasn't going to like it, I wasn't going to as well, everything was out against me and I really wanted a break, one from everything. When he was taking more time than he was s
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Better off
Nortia's POVI wanted it to be a joke, it had to be an expensive joke as it had happened so suddenly and there was no reason why he would do such a thing, we haven't had any arguments that would warrant this, so why exactly had this happened? The tears ran down my cheek, unending and no matter how hard I tried to make it stop, it just wouldn't stop, there were a lot of things that I wished had gone wrong instead of this, our marriage. Where had it all gone wrong? Where exactly was it that I didn't take note? Was it when I had insisted that he should let me be? Was that it? Had I taken it to the extreme? I plopped to the ground, chewing on my lips. I would have taken the money, that was what I owned but even at that moment, my rage had taken over. It would have been stupid to take that, I was never going to believe that he didn't love me. Alexis did, he loved me so what exactly had happened? My hand patted my chest, which ached so bad I was unable to take in air. My hands clenched
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman All lies
Alexis's POV Her eyes moistened as she peered at me, not wanting to believe what she had just been told. My hands fistened into a clench trying so hard not to stretch out my fingers to flick out the tears that had brimmed in her eyes. “What…are you saying?” She let out a cackle of hoarse laughter. “ I know you don't mean that but even at that, you shouldn't say something like that, I almost believed you there” she let out amusedly, beads of laughter accompanying it. “Nortia” I called, trying to get her to listen to me because she wasn't doing that at the moment. “ Nortia!” I called again, firmer than the last, forcing her attention on me. She halted, her eyes fixated on me as she waited for me to say what it was that I had to say. “I am being serious right now, it is over. Here” I tucked the file into her opened hand, the one that had divorce paper written on it. Her eyes dilated before they stared at the file she had in between her hand. “ You don't mean this, do you?” her to
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Split
Nortia's POVGenevieve was at the door immediately the word slipped out, tapping on it. I could tell how glad she was at what had just happened and I couldn't wait to go out to let her know. Slipping the test kit in-between my palm, I pulled the door open, when she stood in front of me. “ You are pregnant?” I could sense the hesitation in her tone, the one that wasn't there when she told me to confirm. “ Will it be bad if I say I am?” “ How exactly will that be bad? It will change everything, every single thing, it will. Life will be meaningful again, it will be worth living again” “ Ahaha” I let out, trying not to show that her words have been off in a way because she had said something about life being meaningful again.“ What do you mean by it will change everything? Is there something I don't know about?” It seems I was kept in the dark about something everyone else knew but I didn't have any idea about. “ No, of course not. Why would you even think that? All I am saying i
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Someone is knocked up
Nortia's POV Another day went by and Alexis was nowhere to be found, with each day that ran past, I was left thinking about my actions and his as well. Reaching him has been impossible as all the calls bounced back to me with an excuse of him working. I would have gotten his mother to talk to him, but I knew it would make matters worse than it already was so I clung onto that one part of me that believed he was busy and maybe when he is done, he will come back to me. Even when it was difficult to think about it that way, I shove away the thought that accumulated which was all streamlined to him cheating on me, he wasn't a cheat, that was something I could attest to. He could be a whole lot of things but the man I was married to was not a cheat as he had proved it on countless occasions and I have been made to know what he would be capable of and what he wouldn't be capable of. When the bell had rung out announcing someone at the door, I shoved the pillowcase on my leg away bef
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Papers
Alexis's POV “Have you thought about what to do yet?” Getting out of the house has been hard to make but I have done so, stretching it into weeks. I have been trying to think about what exactly I was to do but every single thing came to a stop at the same point, that I had no business keeping Nortia with me. If I was to protect Genevieve, letting Nortia go was the only issue I was posed with and what I had to make sure happened “ Get the lawyer, it is difficult for me to do this, but I have to let her go” “ There have been requests to see you, most of which are from her and she sounds heartbroken” “ Pass them over” I instructed before flipping my head around as I reached for the landline while placing it against my ears. Nortia's voice came out fine at first but it ended up with her telling me about how her day went and when I will be back to see her, my hands clenched the phone as I wished that was going to be all. That just listening to this would have me running home but I
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Breaking
Alexis's POV My heart dipped while I watched her rush past, trying to get past me into the lift before she turned to me, her face lighting up with a smile before she exhaled. “ I loved how today ended, I will love to do this more often with you” “ We will’ I answered, just so she won't think anything was wrong judging by how quick she was to get that. “ Sure?” She turned to me, flipping her head to the side. “ Will you go with me more often? The next date is on me.” “ Nortia” my eyes clogged with crystal on it which I shoved away because she was doing every single thought to make me have a change of heart even when she had no idea what I had planned and it wasn't even helping. I had promised, to make sure she had no regrets, given her my words that I was the only one who will never hurt her, and had seen through to it, I have intended to see though to that to the very end but it seems I couldn't, things just didn't work out the way one wanted it. “What’s wrong? Your eyes, did
Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman Confrontation
Alexis's POV “Of course not” I answered, was that even possible? A life where I would be tired of her? Even if all she had to offer was her shenanigans, I was ready to go along with it all. I would bear it all as long as it meant her being by my side. I thought I was doing a good job, hiding my emotions and everything that I had to battle with. My mother had stomped after me wanting to know what had happened after Genevieve had burst into tears but I knew there was no way I could tell her, she would be as heartbroken as I was right now.“Why would you even think about that? How is it possible for me to get tired of you?” “ Then what do you want me to think?” Her lips parted as she questioned. “ I know you might take it as me overthinking, but I am not. I know you like the back of my palm, Alex. I do” “ And I am telling you everything is fine, you don't have to worry yourself about anything” She let out a sigh before turning to the side. “If that's what you are going to say, t
