Nortia's POV

I had a hand wrapped around myself as I peered outside, glancing so hard against the vast greenery which laid in front of me while envisioning Alexis walking up to me, wrapping a hand around my waist before snuggling against my neck.

The hand tightened even closer before I let out a sigh at how desperately futile everything would turn out to be.

The presenter spoke in the background, William's shares were stabilized while the Louis kept depleting with each moment that passed.

I knew I had decided to meet with Samantha but I had a second thought at the last minute, she should be made to suffer even if it was a tiny bit on what she had done.

She had killed someone, one who didn't hold anything against her and I would be stupid to go right now, telling her not to fall into her father's cocooned lies.

To think those were all sentiments, he was the last person I thought would hurt her, because I knew he loved her so well, so why would he want to make her pay for this?

  • Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman    Funeral

    Nortia's POVNo one told me how exactly it would be difficult and now it had me thinking back to when I had told people that it would pass causally like it was nothing. I didn't have any idea how painful it was going to be, watching both of my parents being married while you were left all alone. The hole it left in one's heart which you knew that there was no way you will ever get over it, I had no idea about that. Watching them being lowered to the earth tore my heart, my hands squeezed around my godmother who was silent just the same way I was, no one said a word. I would have skipped this if it was possible but I know that there was no way that I could, it wasn't like I had siblings who would take over as I was the only one left to look after their bodies. I swallowed, forcing down the lump which stuck adamantly even when I would do everything to get it out. “ Nortia.” I heard a voice whisper, flipping my head to the side, I turned to my mother in law who handed me a bouquet

  • Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman    Strayed

    Nortia's POVMy eyes glued to the phone I was grasping, staring at the message I had gotten about my parents, the one where I had to come and attend to their ashes and I didn't know what to think about them. I had thought Alexis was in charge of that, but maybe I was wrong, besides we weren't together anymore for him to look after them, they were mine now. I was supposed to be glad that he hadn't listened when I had told him initially to throw their ashes into the sea. I should be glad that he had steadfastly refused to do as I had said,but now, I don't know what to think. I wasn't ready to go back there, the press and everyone wouldn't bode well on me. Also, I didn't need the fact that I was with child out, the only way I could think about doing this was staying back, but how exactly was I to do so with the message I just got? My hands strayed to my tummy which I caressed, a little bulge and every time I took a glance at it, it was difficult to believe that I was growing a human

  • Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman    Deadlock

    Alexis's POV My hands ran through my hair while I peered at the monitor in front of me. I was putting everything in line for this, my relationship with Nortia and my life with my child as well. I needed to be sure that this wasn't going to go against me somehow, but how was it possible to know that? I waited for an answer from Mrs Smith, one which wasn't forthcoming, she was important in this and I had to do everything within my power to get her to agree with me. “Boss..” the door cranked open when he got in which had me swirling my head immediately. “ Have you gotten any news yet? One which can be important to us?” “First of all, the audit team has raided the Edwards corporation, and at this moment, they should be trying to get him to talk, not that they have seen anything yet, but the shell company was used in clamping down on him.”“ Is there something else?” I needed something else aside from the audit. Something worth tangible of holding onto. “Mrs. Smith might be willing t

  • Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman    Bend the media

    Alexis's POV It had been difficult getting my mum to leave, but when she finally did so, I knew I had to go as well. I couldn't bring myself to stay back here when she was just a few steps away from me. How was I to know that she would have wanted to see me? That she wouldn't be detested by me? I couldn't come to terms with the fact that even after all that I had done to her she still wanted to talk to me, she would have let me hug her if I had insisted, what exactly have I done? I knew I had to leave, get away from Switzerland because it had nothing for me, the least I could do was show her that I had changed, and was ready to do whatever it was just so I can have her to myself. The ride back to the airport left me numb, I fought within myself trying so hard not to give instructions for him to turn back so I could confront her and when he finally came to a stop, I knew this was it, there was no way I would be able to go back anymore. ************“ Alexis.” My father's voice ca

  • Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman    Wage a war

    Alexis’s POV “ It's true like I was told, you are in Switzerland, and you couldn't meet up with her.” My mother said when we were alone. I knew she would find out one way or the other, it either had to be my father or Gerald who must have told her, and all I wanted to do was get to know why exactly they would do so. “ I am.” I hated how cold my voice came out, but it was the least I could do. I didn't like it either. It wasn't like I enjoyed this, like I didn't want to meet up with her, or I had done this on purpose. “ So?” She asked. “What would you say is the reason why you haven't met with her yet? I don't get it, she is your wife.”“ Was,” I corrected.“ She is pregnant with your child. I brought you up better than this, you have to take responsibility when you knock someone up, what do you think is wrong with you, Alex?” I knew I had to, it wasn't like I was running away from it. “ I didn't say I wasn't going to do so.” I answered her. “ Then what do you think you are doin

  • Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman    Responsibility

    Alexis's POVI knew I had to cross over to see her but I chickened out at the last moment. I didn't know if it was because of the bump I had seen or what exactly it was but I knew that there was no way I was going to act like I hadn't hurt her. Her whole life had changed because of me, she was working in a damn cafe, an heiress to a huge conglomerate and an ex wife to one of the fortune 500 companies was working in a cafe. I didn't know how to take it, didn't know how it was supposed to resonate with me but I didn't like it, I hated that this was happening. That it had happened in the first place. Maybe, I made a mistake coming here in the first place, I should have known that it wasn't going to change anything, that she was never going to forgive me. I had been wrong, thinking she would run into my arms, clasping me in her embrace but she didn't even make a move, instead she stood her ground, and stepped back, making it straight that she didn't have anything to do with me. I had

  • Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman    Hollow

    Nortia's POV“ A cheesecake please.” The order called, gazing straight at me. “ Here Miss,” she should probably be in her teens, dressed in a pretty sundress gown with a bag hanging on her shoulders. I knew she must be in college or high school, maybe a friend of Genevieve as well. Since she somehow found out I was shuffling between the house and working here, she has done everything to help me and that included an increase in patronage. My godmother was not different from her, she did everything that she could to help, when I was back, she had water running for me to take my bath in, insisting she was going to do even when there were maids who were available to do so. She had vehemently refused to me working,citing the fact that she saw no need while I would be dressed in an apron, clasped around my waist while I stood behind the counter attending to people who wanted either something to eat or something to drink, but I stood my ground, because one more minute in that house and I

  • Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman    cut short

    Alexis's POV I plopped on the ground, trying to take in what I just heard because it was the last thing I had expected, my hand ran across my face, flashing back to the night when I had decided to divorce her, when she said she had something to say to me and defiantly, I had cut her off. “ Fuck” I whispered, knowing that was what she must have wanted to say. My throat parched, eyes turned glossy at what I had just been told. It was supposed to be our happy moment, the time where I would have hugged her, letting her know how glad I was to hear that, that it was the happiest news I had known, we would have cried on each other's shoulder, and look forward to the birth of our kids together. “ Will she ever forgive me?” I let out, the pain wrenching me so hard that all I wanted to do was pull out the pain that churned through me. The one that ran through me so deep that I could barely breathe. “ Alexis” his hand fell on my shoulders, squeezing on it. “She didn't want anyone telling yo

  • Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman    Bombshell

    Alexis's POV Everyday was the same, streamlined into another so fast that I could feel it, my life was slipping through my hands and it was becoming so hard to convince myself that I had done the right thing, I couldn't just come to terms with the fact that she was nowhere to be found. The last encounter I had where I had met my father wasn't so helpful either as he didn't believe what I had said either, but had said if I meant what I said, then I should leave, and I had no other choice than to do so, if it was going to convince him that I didn't love her then I was ready to do so. Dressed in silk pajamas, I weaved a hand through my head thinking of the next action I was to take, everything was beginning to spiral out of my control, with her out, there was nothing I could do. The company was fine, but I could feel it without anyone telling me, I could sense it also. I was slipping out of control, I could barely eat and was barely able to think without missing her. She had grown
