Zosha's POV

I noticed the changes in the house gradually.

At first, I thought Mrs. Gable had simply become better at anticipating my needs. The tea served with breakfast was no longer sweetened, and the kitchen had started keeping Briar's favourite strawberry yoghurt in stock.

Then I realised Maddox was responsible.

“You changed the tea?” I asked one morning when I found him at the breakfast table.

He glanced up from his tablet. “You stopped drinking it when they added sugar.”

“I didn't th

  • The Alpha's Plus Sized Contract Lover   The Space Between Us

    Maddox I noticed Zosha's absence before I admitted it bothered me. She still attended breakfast and dinner. She handled the charitable programme, reviewed the supplier reports and spent time with Briar. Nothing about her routine suggested a problem. But she no longer came to the library simply because I was there. If she needed my approval for something, she sent a message or asked during a meal. If she had a question about the household, she spoke to Mrs. Gable. Our conversations rarely lasted longer than necessary. I told myself it was convenient. I had enough work without unnecessary interruptions. That explanation stopped working when I found myself looking toward the library entrance one evening, expecting her to walk in. She didn't. I was reviewing the latest report from the distribution team when she finally entered. She carried a folder and placed it on my desk. "The revised supplier records are ready. Mrs. Voss sent the remaining documents this afternoon." I looked a

  • The Alpha's Plus Sized Contract Lover   More Than A Name

    Zosha Mrs. Voss's message arrived shortly after breakfast. Several of the smaller suppliers were willing to provide their delivery records and financial information for the Council's review. She wanted to know if I could meet them before the next session. I replied that I could. The Council had asked for additional evidence concerning my proposal. If I wanted them to take it seriously, I needed more than the complaints I'd heard during my visit to Alder Pack. By midmorning, I was in the library with the documents Mrs. Voss had sent. There were order confirmations, delivery schedules, invoices and records of cancelled shipments. I arranged them by supplier, then compared the dates and quantities. The pattern was worse than I'd expected. Some businesses received large orders with very little notice, while others went weeks without confirmation. Several had prepared workers and vehicles for deliveries that were later postponed. The problem wasn't simply that smaller suppliers recei

  • The Alpha's Plus Sized Contract Lover   The Terms Of Tomorrow

    Zosha I found the marriage contract while sorting through the documents I needed to send to my lawyer. Mrs. Gable had brought the folder to my room earlier that morning, along with the updated financial statements. I had intended to review everything, sign the necessary pages and send them off before lunch. Instead, I found myself reading the original agreement again. The terms were familiar. Maddox would cover my legal expenses, provide a stable home for Briar and ensure we had the financial support needed while the custody matter was being resolved. I would retain my independence and have access to the resources necessary to protect my daughter. At the bottom of the first page was the duration. One year. I read it twice. When Maddox had first offered me the contract, that clause hadn't bothered me. A year had seemed reasonable. It gave me time to secure Briar's future without having to depend on a marriage that neither of us had entered for love. I hadn't wanted promises. I

  • The Alpha's Plus Sized Contract Lover   What He Hasn't Told Her

    Maddox I noticed the change in Zosha over breakfast. She was sitting across from me, helping Briar cut her pancakes into smaller pieces. When Briar asked about her school presentation, Zosha listened and answered her questions, but she barely looked in my direction. It wasn't the first time I'd noticed it. For several days, she'd been polite whenever we spoke. She still attended meals, reviewed the charitable programme and handled her responsibilities around the house. But the small things had stopped. She no longer brought her documents to the library when I was working there. She didn't linger after dinner to talk, and she had stopped asking about my day. I set down my coffee. "Did something happen?" She glanced up. "What?" "Between you and Valeria." Her expression barely changed. "We talked. Nothing important." "What did she say?" "She explained how long her family had expected to arrange a marriage between you." "And?" "That she had expected to become your wife. That

  • The Alpha's Plus Sized Contract Lover   The Woman Before Her

    Zosha I was halfway down the Council corridor when I heard someone call my name. "Zosha." I turned. Valeria was standing a few steps behind me. Her father had already left with the other representatives, and the people who had attended the session were gradually dispersing. Maddox was speaking with his adviser near the exit. "Can we talk?" she asked. I hesitated before nodding. "All right." She glanced towards Maddox. "Privately, if you don't mind." I looked at my husband. He noticed us but didn't interrupt. "I'll be outside," he said before walking away with his adviser. Valeria waited until they were out of earshot. "I wanted to say you handled yourself well in there." I hadn't expected that. "Thank you." "Some people thought you'd struggle to answer the questions. You didn't give them much to use against you." "Some of them still weren't convinced." "They wouldn't have been, regardless of what you said." There was no bitterness in her voice, but neither did she s

  • The Alpha's Plus Sized Contract Lover   Under Their Scrutiny

    Zosha I had read through the supplier reports twice before Maddox came into the study. He glanced at the documents spread across the desk. "Still reviewing them?" "I'm trying to make sure I haven't missed anything." He picked up one of the reports. "The Council has already received copies of these." "I know. That doesn't mean they won't ask me questions I haven't considered." He put the report down. "They will ask questions. Some of them won't be particularly friendly." "That's reassuring." "I'm not telling you to expect trouble. I'm telling you not to let anyone push you into claiming more than you know." I closed the folder. "I'm not going to pretend I'm a trade specialist." "Good." "But I also don't want them dismissing everything I've said because I don't have their experience." "They can question your recommendations. That's their right. They can't expect you to have spent twenty years managing territorial trade when you haven't." I studied him. "Do you think they
