Greg's POV

I walked behind my boss to the excavator. Tim and Ben, my partners, were in front. His face had turned reddish, crimson… ready to melt anything in its path.

His shoes scraped against the floor like he wanted to tear it apart as he moved into the elevator.

Not even his office… He needed to clear his head. His feet quickened toward the elevator, and I saw him grab his tie knot around his neck, trying to loosen it.

Then footsteps echoed behind us into the elevator before the doors clos

  • The Billionaire's Contract Wife: Six Months To Leave    Chapter 98

    Joan's POVI watched Catherine disappear into the kitchen.The moment she was out of sight, I reached for the small paper bag tucked into the back pocket of my jeans.I pulled it out and glanced nervously towards the three entrances leading into the dining room. I needed to be certain nobody was watching.Thank heaven nobody was. I quickly returned my attention to the package.My fingers trembled as I opened it.I pulled out the syringe and the small tube of poisonous liquid."Damn the instructions," I muttered under my breath.Zero had given me a specific dosage, but I couldn't afford to waste another second trying to remember every detail.I hurriedly drew some of the liquid into the syringe.I had no idea whether the quantity was enough to take Catherine out, but I couldn't risk wasting more time.My eyes darted towards the kitchen entrance. Nothing.I quickly positioned the syringe over Catherine's half-filled cup and squeezed.I emptied everything into the teacup. I picked up t

  • The Billionaire's Contract Wife: Six Months To Leave    Chapter 97

    Joan's POVI walked out of the bedroom and headed towards the staircase when my phone suddenly buzzed again."Good morning, Miss Joan," a maid greeted me as she mopped the floor.I stopped walking abruptly, almost as if an invisible force had ordered me to freeze. Something told me that ignoring the message on my phone could have consequences.I reached into the back pocket of my jeans and pulled out my phone. I couldn't even bring myself to respond to the maid.She didn't bother greeting me again. Perhaps she had assumed I was in one of my usual morning moods.I watched her crouch down and continue mopping.Then, a familiar name flashed across my screen.ZERO.The name had become more than an ordinary name. It was a nightmare I couldn't escape, no matter how hard I tried.I swiped across the screen and opened his message.Don't get smart with me, Kenan. I have eyes watching you. Don't bother looking for CCTV cameras or anything else. I've already taken care of that.The last part of

  • The Billionaire's Contract Wife: Six Months To Leave    Chapter 96

    Joan's POVI walked back into the bedroom. Brent was still asleep.The day had not broken yet. A faint darkness still covered the room, and the only sound was the steady hum of the air conditioner.I slipped beneath the covers and lay on my back, staring at the ceiling.My head was throbbing. But it wasn't the lack of sleep keeping me awake. It was the decision I had to make.Would Maria be the right person for this job?What if she exposed my plan? What if she refused to cooperate? More importantly, how could I convince her to carry out such a plot when I know it would even endanger her staying here? Even if she agreed to help me and completed the task, she couldn't remain in this house afterward.She would have to resign.I would pay her enough money to start a new life somewhere far away. Somewhere nobody could trace her back to this house.But would Maria accept my offer?I shut my eyes briefly.There was another problem.What if I refused to carry out Zero's plan? Wouldn't that b

    Joan's POV3:46 AM.That was the time displayed on the wall clock. Its glowing digits seemed to scream into my face like a disease that refused to go away.The small paper package I had hidden in one of my pyjama pockets was still ringing in my head.I turned several times in bed, desperately begging sleep to take over, but it never came.Instead, my eyes remained wide open, staring blankly into the darkness. I felt like a patient on her deathbed, waiting for fate to decide when to take her final breath.I had no idea what had come over Brent.He had wrapped his arms around me from behind and slipped himself between my legs while I slept.I hadn't even worn any underwear before falling asleep. I couldn't explain why. But I was certainly surprised when I woke up to find him pressed against my back, having sex with me as though nothing had happened between us.He didn't seem bothered by the recent issues we had been facing. He simply continued, acting as though everything was perfectly

    Orlena's POV"Calm down!" That was the word that came from Greg as he helped me into the small apartment.The room smelled like stale bread. I had not lived inside it for a few days. I dragged myself to the edge of the bed, and my stomach pressed between my legs as I sat down. I parted my legs and let out a slow breath.Greg was still standing. His shadow fell over me like a stranger walking into the wrong room.He didn't want to talk about what had happened between me and Brent, his boss. He never wanted to talk about it, even back when we all lived under the same roof with the Cadwells. He had always kept it out of every conversation. I admired him for that.His hands rested around his waist. He looked around the room, then looked at me. I knew what he wanted to say: that I had been through hell here.He walked toward me and bent low. "You need rest," he said, and gently eased my back down onto the bed.The air between us stayed quiet. It was thick with uncertainty.A sharp pain sh

    Margarita’s POV“We are in big trouble!”Dr. Jackson’s voice rattled through the air, making the silence inside his office feel even heavier.“What is the way forward now, Maggi? We can’t just allow that case to slip away like that…”His voice fluttered around the room.I watched Dr. Jackson, or Jay, as I used to call him, pacing to and fro right in front of me. He looked completely disoriented, like a fiddlestick being tossed around by the wind.His face was tight with frustration. His fingers kept moving restlessly, sometimes brushing through his hair before dropping to his sides again.At first, he sat on the edge of his table, took his stethoscope from his neck, and slammed it onto the table in front of me.The table rattled as though an earthquake of several degrees had struck the room.I sat upright in my chair.My breath tightened. A nerve crawled down my back. I gripped the edges of the chair, watching him carefully.Something needed to be done.I pulled my hand into a fist an

    Orlena’s POV Joan twisted her lips. Her face curled into something that felt like a mere performance. The air in the room stood still. I watched her walk past me like I was a piece of furniture. Like the six years I had spent with Brent and taking care of Eli meant nothing. She handed one pape

    Orlena’s POV. “Little gift?” The word parted my lips, “I think you're mixing it up somewhere.” I let out a hard smile. The sound came out brittle, like I was crushing a dry leaf under my foot. “Was I?” “Yeah,” I replied, nodding. At this time, the smile had dissolved into something I coul

    Orlena’s POVI had buried my father in my heart that morning, but painfully, the universe is asking me to stay and care for a child who wasn't mine and who would never be mine. Isn't that cruelty? The thought of that almost made me laugh. “Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia?” I muttered the words repe

    Orlena's POV My phone suddenly rang the moment I stepped into the parking lot, my fingers tightening slightly around my bag as I slowed down. Brent and Joan were already heading toward my car, their steps unhurried like they had all the time in the world.I paused, glancing down at the screen.It
