Alex’s pov

I wasn’t expecting him.

One second I was on the couch with Dennis—his head tipped back, mine rested into the kind of kiss we’d spent months not admitting amounted to more than nothing—and then the front door clicked open. I didn’t hear it at first. Until I heard a grunt.

I turned to see my father standing there with his hands crossed across his chest.

At that point, I had no idea what to do.

I slowly got to my feet as Dennis stood up with me.

“Dad?” I stuttered. “I didn’t hear you co

  • The CEO'S Contract Husband   Chapter 184

    Alex’s povThe next day, I called a board meeting, and this time I invited the press. The moment they arrived, I stood before them as the clamoring died down and they all turned to me.I looked at the crowd there… from my mother and my father to the rest of the board members, which included Paul this time, as he had decided to stop running and try to clear his name. He was working with the police through their questioning. I then smiled at everybody, then looked at Dennis, who was by my side.“I invited you all here today to talk about the challenges that I have faced being a stand-in CEO. I know a lot of rumors passed by, and I’m so glad that all of you finally got the idea of who caused the chaos. It was Lydia and it was Sophia, and it was a couple of people that I won’t mention their names, but Lydia and Sophia played the entire stuff.“Lydia’s lies… they have been fully exposed. And Sophia’s manipulation… now these two joined together to disgrace me and Dennis, but then it only

    Alex’s povTo hear all of that from him broke me as I scoffed.“Dennis, are you being serious right now?”“Look, if you want us to still be together in this fake marriage of a thing, we can. I definitely understand you want to fulfill your quota anyway, so there’s no need to bother about it. I will stay. I will be your man. I would do nothing more but appear occasionally at galas that you want me to appear at. But I’m just here to pack my things and leave. It’s very clear you’ve gotten what you wanted. You can keep the money that you want to pay me. I don’t need it anymore. Thank you so much for healing my mom. She’s getting better by the way.“I know that you are the stand-in CEO and your father has made an irrevocable right to make you a CEO immediately he retires from the company. It’s a win-win. You get to have what you want and I’ve gotten what I wanted.”I chuckled. I could feel my heart racing.“Is this a joke, Dennis? You show up after more than a month of being away and you s

  • The CEO'S Contract Husband   Chapter 182

    Alex’s povThe days that passed were a mixture of board meetings, where the board had apologized to me, and the arrest of Lydia and Sophia. But of course, they found their way to escape under duplicitous means, which I was very sure was funded by Paul, who was also on the run like the both of them. But it was only a matter of time before the police would find them again.For the meantime, I spent my time enjoying my new seat at the board meeting as a trusted CEO stand-in. I arranged a few parties that would happen in the coming months, and in all this time, I didn’t hear a peep from Dennis. Little by little, I started to spiral. It was almost like I was heading back into my old ways of drinking… and I would love to say womanizing… but no woman was catching my eyes, neither were the men. The only person I needed was Dennis.After I was done with the fifth board meeting for that month, I got up and was about to leave before my father called me to talk to me. He walked to the edge of t

  • The CEO'S Contract Husband   Chapter 181

    Paul’s povI stayed in the boardroom until the entire fire had died down. The board members there started to talk about how they were sorry to Alex for blaming him for the destruction of the company. I found that I was alone.I had no allies now. The funny thing was I was too powerless to go against all of them.I was weak. I hated being weak. But in this moment, there was nothing else I could do.When they were all done talking about their entire problems, they all adjourned the meeting as I still sat in my seat. Everybody left, leaving Lyon and I in the boardroom.He smiled and leaned forward as I got to my feet to go.“Sit,” he said with a stern voice as I gulped.“I have to go.”“I said… sit,” this time it had a growl in it.He was mad. I took in deep breaths and then fell back in my seat.“What is it, Lyon?” I asked. “You have everything you want. Your son has said all the lies he could say.”“Lies?” He chuckled. “How could you?”“I have no idea what my daughter is planning and I

    Alex’s povI dressed in front of the mirror, making sure that I was wearing my most expensive suit. A knock came on my door as I turned to it, expecting Dennis to enter, but it was my mom who got in. She had my tie in her hands.“I thought I’d get this for you,” she smiled. “It’s your lucky tie.”I chuckled. “I’m not five, mom, but thank you. I really did miss that tie.”She helped me put it on as I stayed in front of her, towering over her. She then looked at my leg. “It’s been almost a week. How are you feeling?”“I don’t know. A bit mad at myself for what I’ve done in the past. I still kind of feel mad at Dennis for leaving without him calling or answering my messages. I don’t know what his problem is.”“What do you mean?” She tilted her head to the side after fixing my tie, and she stepped back.“One minute we’re running for our lives together, holding hands, and the next minute he’s gone in the wind. He doesn’t return my calls. He doesn’t answer my messages. He’s just gone.”“Hav

    Dennis’s pov"Afternoon, Dennis," came that voice I could pick out of a crowd even if everyone else was yelling.I turned and watched the landlady walking towards me. She had the kind of look on her face that suggested this was not going to be a "Hi, how are you?" type discussion.“What is it?” I a

    Sophia’s povMother took a dainty drink, then set her glass back on the table with that infuriating elegance she had. Her voice was light, but I saw it—the spark in her eyes. “She just wanted to remind me, in not so many words, not to get too close to Alex. To let me know that if you kept playing a
