The Billionaire's Contract Wife: Six Months To Leave Chapter 85
Joan's POV A Day Earlier “I hate the excuses you are giving me, Henry…” My voice came out low as I held the phone to my left ear. “The procurement is going on, and the construction is taking shape…” Mr. Henry uttered, his voice shaking over the phone. “The engineers aren't resting either. We need patience…” “Patience…” The word erupted from my lips. “That has been the song you have been singing…” I tightened my grip on the phone, my voice becoming thinner at the edge. “Listen, I will not take any excuse from you. By this time tomorrow…” “What about the…” I cut the call before he could utter another statement that would infuriate me further. “God.” The word erupted from my lips. I dropped the phone onto the couch where I sat and stood up quickly. I clenched my jaw. My fingers balled into fists. “That incompetent fool…” I echoed under my breath, anger erupting inside me. “I knew what he wanted to say next…” The Cayman Islands deal? “That is not my issue now,” I muttered. “

Zero's POV.“Grr… Grr…”I looked down at my phone. This made it the tenth time my phone had buzzed…Kenan, my boss… sorry, my fixer for Mr. Caldwell's lady, had been calling.I leaned back into the chair, my cigarette hanging between my fingers.I tapped it against the small metallic tray in front of me.Birds chirped above. I was in the woods. I had lived in the woods since I got back from jail…I had returned to this town to get my revenge on the Caldwells.My phone buzzed in front of me like it had been doing for the past few hours. I knew the lady had called Kenan to call me to order, but when it comes to anyone or anything that deals with the Caldwells, I just don't know how to hold back. I'm always ruthless. It was a message from my fixer, Mr. Kenan.It reads. Stay away from the woman. Deal with the family alone. You have the job… You have your cut… I had mine too… Deal closed.The words stared back at me from my phone screen. This made it the fifth time in the last few hou

Orlena's POV“Margarita!” The word crashed into Greg. Suddenly, everything in the room resonated as if an earthquake had passed through the floor, dividing it into parts.Greg's face and the nurse's exchanged glances.My mouth parted slightly. I didn't have a single ounce of energy to close it into a thin line.The door shut behind her. She walked quietly into the room like everything beneath her feet was made of glass, fragile and couldn't afford to break, closing the distance between Greg and me…“You guys know each other?” The words rolled off my lips without permission. My forefinger darted in the air between the two of them. My eyes moved between them, demanding answers.The nurse's mouth parted as she looked around the room. Probably thinking something adults do when they are alone had taken place between Greg and me. Greg wasn't left out either. He was stunned too. She didn't allow that silence to last long before she suddenly snapped.“I knew it!” The nurse roared like a r

Orlena’s POV“It’s time for you to be discharged,” Dr. Jackson’s voice echoed through the room, a clipboard pressed against his chest.My body lay on the almost flattened foam they called a mattress. It felt as though I had been sleeping on a plank. Pain surged through my spine, spreading into every part of my body.“Now?” My voice cracked, strained at every word.“Nurse Margarita,” Dr. Jackson called. “Hand over the phone.”“We can’t afford to allow you to stay one more day.” I watched him collect the phone from the young nurse, who was looking at me as though she wished I would disappear. “I guess it’s high time you started calling people you know who may come and help you out of here.”“I don’t have anyone in this city,” I replied, each word coming out in painful bursts. “Why are you being so wicked? I just had surgery two days ago, and you people are forcing me out without proper recovery.”“We are sorry,” the doctor replied with a hard smile. “There is nothing we can do about tha

Joan's POV.Fuck! The word erupted from my lips.I banged the table in front of me.I knew it!" I groaned, squeezing my fingers into a ball.I saw it coming!" I stood from my table. The legs of my shoes scraped the floor. My phone lit up in front of me.I prayed for today to disappear and never show up in my life again.Just a moment ago, Brent had disgraced me in front of the world. In front of all the company staff.I felt like I had been stripped naked in the middle of the road.While I was still nursing that humiliation, Zero showed up.I walked around my office, my brain throbbing inside my skull like it was about to explode.Then the door creaked open behind me. I didn't turn."Ma'am, can I bring the documents now?" my PA's voice echoed behind me."Get the hell out of here now!" I snapped, turning to her and pointing my hand at her like a dagger ready to part her from the rest of her body."I... I'm s...sorry...""Just get out. Now! Just go!""Okay, Miss Joan." She turned and wa

Zero's POV.Roughly a few hours earlier.Ding dong!The elevator door opened. My solicitor was the first to step out into the lobby, his shoes clicking hard against the marble like he owned the building.He caught my eye and crossed the floor in three long strides, jaw tight, tie already loosened."We'll meet in court," he said, gripping my hand a beat too long. His face had gone reddish, a vein ticking at his temple. "They think we're playing here. One hundred million dollars or nothing. And when the child turns ten, the father takes over custody. Sole parent alive."I didn't say anything. I just smiled, slow and easy, the kind of smile that makes lawyers nervous. I turned toward the automatic pedestrian gate, my shoes silent on the tile."Can I offer you a ride?" he called after me.I didn't turn around. I lifted one hand and waved, smiling with just my mouth, nothing behind the eyes.I shoved my hands into my hoodie pocket, hunched my shoulders, and tucked my chin toward the ground

Orlena's POV He would snap at any moment now, I could feel it coming, and my hand tightened at my side as I stood there, watching him.“Why is this here?”He finally looked up at me, his brows pulled together as he held the paper in his hand.“How is this here? You realize how important this is?”

Orlena's POV I couldn’t stand the situation anymore and I just turned to continue what I was doing, even though my hands didn’t feel steady and my chest still felt tight. There was a bigger issue in my life now, something I could not ignore no matter how much I wanted to, and I needed to find a s

The Billionaire's Contract Wife: Six Months To Leave Chapter 7
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
