The Contract

last update publish date: 2026-03-11 19:31:59

Seated in front of Alexander, Gabriella nervously scanned the contract before her with uncertain eyes.

The terms were strict and precise. One year of marriage, public appearances, no emotional attachment, though they were to conduct themselves as a happily married, loving couple when in public. The contract also included a confidentiality clause, prohibiting her from revealing the contents to anyone. After the one year had expired, they would agree to divorce amicably, and she would be paid the

  • My Possessive CEO   By Candlelight

    “Alexander!”Gabriella’s voice echoed through the darkened hallway as she rushed toward the source of the crash.Her heart hammered painfully against her ribs.The only light came from her cellphone, as she waved it around frantically.“Alexander!”No response.Fear tightened around her chest.She followed the direction of the sound until another flash of lightning revealed the scene before her.The ladder lay on its side.Alexander was sprawled on the floor beside it.For one terrible second, Gabriella couldn’t move.The world seemed to stop.Then she was running.“Alexander!”Dropping to her knees beside him, she carefully turned him onto his back.A small streak of blood ran down the side of his forehead.Gabriella’s breath caught.“No… no, no, no…”Her hands trembled.He wasn’t moving.Panic surged through her.She immediately dialed 911 on her phone.Nothing. The call didn’t go through.The storm was messing with the cell service as well.Her stomach dropped.She tried again.“Co

  • My Possessive CEO   Surprise Guset

    Miranda sat across from Dennis in his home office. Her phone balanced in one hand as she scrolled through her contacts.Meanwhile, Dennis remained quiet as he carefully inspected several photographs spread across the desk.Miranda straightened in her seat and dialed a number.She was too focused on the call she was about to make.After a few moments, Gabriella finally answered.“Hello?”“Hey Gabby,” she replied.“What's up?”“So I was just wondering…” There was a hint of mischief in her voice.“About what?” Gabriella asked.“A bachelorette party.”There was a pause.“I don't think so.”Miranda switched the phone to her other ear.“Why not? “Every bride deserves a bachelorette party.”“I don't think I have enough friends for a party,” she replied softly.“That's not a problem, Gabby,” she said. “It can just be you, Khloe, and me. Just like before.”“But it's not necessary and…”“You’re getting married,” Miranda cut her off. “This is a big deal.”On the other end of the phone, Gabriella

  • My Possessive CEO   Dangerous Little Things

    By the next morning, the events of the previous night still lingered quietly in Gabriella’s mind.The warmth of Alexander’s hand against her waist.The look in his eyes when he caught her.The strange silence afterward.She had spent far too long replaying it before finally falling asleep.And now, standing in front of her mirror while fastening her earrings, she found herself thinking about it again.Annoyingly.Gabriella exhaled softly and grabbed her bag from the bed.She needed to stop overthinking everything.When she stepped downstairs a few minutes later, Alexander was already near the entrance speaking on the phone.He wore a charcoal suit today, the dark color making him look sharp. One hand rested inside his pocket while the other held his phone against his ear.Alexander glanced up the moment he noticed her approaching.For a brief second, his gaze paused on her.Then he ended the call.“The driver will take you to the office,” he said.Gabriella’s brow furrowed.“You’re no

  • My Possessive CEO   Not Alone

    The house was silent.Most of the lights had already been turned off hours ago, leaving only the soft glow from the dining area illuminating the darkness downstairs.Alexander sat alone at the long dining table, his laptop open in front of him, while several folders lay scattered nearby.It was almost two in the morning.And he was still working.His phone rested against his ear as he stared at the files spread across the table.“I’m outside her house right now,” the man on the other end said.“Anything unusual?” Alexander asked quietly.“No, Sir.”He leaned forward.“Keep tailing her,” he said. “And let me know if you notice anything even slightly off.”“Understood.”The line disconnected.Alexander stared at a photo of the woman from the protest on his phone.Kristyn Pratt.Her account continued posting attacks against Kingston Enterprises online.Enough to keep public attention focused on the company.Enough to slowly damage credibility.Something was up with this woman. He could f

  • My Possessive CEO   Call Me

    The wedding was fast approaching.Somehow, between company scandals, emergency meetings, and everything else that had happened, time had continued moving forward.Now it was only days away.The realization felt strange.Gabriella stood near the center of the reception hall, studying the nearly completed venue as afternoon sunlight filtered through the tall windows.Fresh floral arrangements lined the walls.Elegant table settings had already been arranged for inspection.Workers moved around quietly, making adjustments while the wedding planner enthusiastically reviewed her notes.“I think we’re finally getting somewhere,” the woman said with a relieved smile.Gabriella laughed softly.“You sound like you’ve survived a war.”The planner placed a hand dramatically against her chest.“You have no idea.”That earned another laugh from Gabriella.Throughout the day, they finalized the remaining details.Flower placements.Guest seating.Menu selections.Small things that somehow felt enor

  • My Possessive CEO   Held In Place

    Gabriella didn’t move from where she stood.The office still felt heavy with what Alexander had just said.He turned slightly away from the window, finally speaking again.“Remember the woman from the protest?”Gabriella looked up.“I had her looked into.”His voice was controlled, as always, but there was something sharper underneath it now.“She wasn’t a victim of anything. No robbery. No incident report. Nothing tied to the crisis at all.”Gabriella frowned slightly.“But she seemed pretty passionate about the cause.”“Not just that,” Alexander said. “She also owns the account that posted the video.”That made Gabriella go still.“The one attacking Kingston Enterprises?”“Yes.”A pause settled between them.Alexander walked back toward his desk, picking up a folder but not opening it.“And the account wasn’t random,” he continued. “It was created around the same time the crisis began escalating.”Gabriella absorbed that slowly.“So we can assume it was created just to drag the comp

  • My Possessive CEO   The Missing Entry

    His office had emptied.But Alexander still stood in the same spot.The glow from the screen reflected faintly in his eyes as he stared at it, unmoving.Lines of data scrolled endlessly.Timestamps, access logs, system responses.Everything looked normal.His jaw ticked.He had seen the earlier ver

  • My Possessive CEO   Too Clean

    The house was quiet.Too quiet.Gabriella sat on the couch, her eyes fixed on the television, though she couldn't remember what had been playing for the past twenty minutes. The screen flickered, its sounds filling the room. But none of it registered.She held her phone in her hand. Unlocked yet n

  • My Possessive CEO   Nothing Happened

    Gabriella was dreaming. But it didn't feel like a dream.It felt…real.Too real.His hand was on her cheek again.Warm and steady.The same way it had been the night before.“Alexander…”His name slipped from her lips, barely a whisper.There was no hesitation this time.No interruptionNo distance

  • My Possessive CEO   Almost

    The night slowly drew to a close.The music softened, conversations lost their edge, and the tension that had once gripped the room dissolved into polite laughter and quiet networking. Glasses were now clinking faintly, and people offered lazy smiles. But Gabriella felt it.The difference.She sto
