“Tell me the truth, Alex,” Dennis said in a serious tone. “Just tell me all I need to know. Don't hide anything from me. Please.”

Alex sighed and looked at the train that was still speeding through. He didn't know how to say all that was bothering him. All he could do was take in the pain he was feeling and look around.

He wasn't used to anyone telling him what to do.

“You know you can talk to me,” Dennis said as Alex shook his head and sighed.

“How about we just go with what I want?”

“Which is?”

“Open the glove compartment.”

Dennis looked at him with a skeptical look and nodded before opening it. There was a brown file in there.

“Take it out. Don’t just stare at it,” growled Alex in an impatient way.

This pushed Dennis to take it out and go through it as he found his name in full with that of Alex in it.

“What is this?” Dennis asked.

“A document for you to sign.”

“Why?”

“You’ll see why. Just go through it.”

“I don’t understand,” said the confused man. “When we got married I signed a

  • The CEO'S Contract Husband   Chapter 77

    Alex’s povThe whole drive back home, her words were stuck in my head. They dug at me like a thorn I couldn’t take out. Sophia… Always that smug little smile like she knew me better than I did myself. The way she said it… like my whole life with Dennis was some phase. Some delusion.“I refuse to believe you are gay,” she had laughed it off, like it was some joke I told myself.The thing was, I didn’t give a crap if she believed me or not. It was that look she gave me. Like what Dennis and I had wasn’t real. How dare she? She has no idea who we were and what we did.I could feel my insides burning with anger. Right now I needed Dennis and I needed his hold and kiss.The moment we got home, I jumped out of the car before the driver could turn off the car and I rushed into the house.All I wanted to do was see him.“Dennis!”I barked out for him as soon as I entered, the sound harsher than I’d intended. The butler appeared from God knows where, giving his customary half bow before sayin

  • The CEO'S Contract Husband   Chapter 76

    Alex’s povI arrived at the restaurant and got out of the car, my driver scurrying to open the door for me. The man bowed, as he always did, as if he wasn’t just a driver but some kind of footman to a king. The guards at the entrance bowed when they caught sight of me too, bodies stiff, heads dipping forward. It’s like this wherever I show up these days… people gawking at me as if I’m something not quite human.Money has a way of making people do that. Making them stupid with reverence.I walked straight through without blinking at them. Inside, waiters stiffened the second I stepped in. They whispered to each other behind their hands. A couple at the corner stopped eating and just stared. You’d think I invented electricity or something.I was twenty something with billions in my account, sure. A billionaire at my age.But to me? It didn’t feel like enough. Nothing ever did.Then I saw her.Sophia.She was seated close to the window in a relaxed way. She had a grin that made me narrow

  • The CEO'S Contract Husband   Chapter 75

    Dennis’s povI entered the hotel that Lydia had sent me to visit her with the money as I grimaced at the smell from the hall. I remembered the call I had made with her after leaving the pasta restaurant. I wanted to meet her and she had sent me the address.I didn’t know why I had agreed to come meet her. No… scratch that. I knew exactly why. To end this madness. That’s why.My feet paused before the door she told me to go through, 406. I sighed and knocked on the door as I waited before hearing something break in the background, someone cuss and then a fumble in another part of the room I couldn’t see.And then the door opened and there she was. Lydia.She had on a black silk dress that has her cleavages out and barely reached her knees. Infact, if she bent down, her panties would be out.She posed in the doorframe, letting me soak her up.“Well, well,” she purred, voice low, almost mocking. “You actually came.”I didn’t say anything to her as I brushed past her and entered the roo

    Alex’s povI sat there tapping on the menu, but I had no intention of ordering anything. I was thinking about Dennis. About how his face went when he got that call.One second he was right before me, laughing and looking over at me. Eyes crinkled up from laughter. Then the next second… nothing. His face like somebody died or something. I hated that.I hated the secrets.I thought we had gotten to a point where we could tell each other anything. Why did it feel this way?He soon returned and sat down opposite me with a smile like nothing happened. But I could tell that his smile was fake.“You okay?” I said, leaning in.“Yeah,” he said too fast. “Fine.”“Fine?” I scoffed. “That’s what we are calling what you just did?”“Alex. I’m fine. Just let it go.”“Bullshit.” I blurted which shocked him. “I’ve known you too long, Dennis. Something’s fucked up right now. Who was that?”“No one. You seriously don’t have to make a big deal about this.”“Don’t you dare gaslight me man. We have someth

    Dennis’s povI smirked, poking at the bread basket. “Something about Monroe being an idiot, probably.”“Close enough,” he muttered, but he was smiling.The food came, pasta for me, steak for him and we ate in that silent ease that had settled around us. Not awkward. Not strained. Just… there.Halfway through, he reached over with his fork and stole a bite off my plate. I swiped at his hand but he just smiled back at me like a toddler caught stealing cookies. “Yours tastes better,” he shrugged.“You have a whole steak sitting there,” I shot back, rolling my eyes.“Still. Yours is better.”We were enjoying ourselves and I told myself that nothing could steal the joy of this moment as my phone buzzed.I didn’t think much of it. Just reached into my pocket, thumb brushing the screen like usual. But when I saw the name, my heart dropped.Lydia.Everything inside me turned cold. My breath got shallow, my fork clattered against my plate. I couldn’t breathe for a second. Couldn’t think. Jus

    Dennis’s povHe was taller than me and him tilting and studying me like I was some kind of project didn’t help what I was feeling inside for him.“Alex…” I muttered as my heart betrayed me.I knew where this was going to lead to.At that moment I could have pushed him away and run. But my legs were planted on the ground. He dipped his head, his lips an inch from mine as he mulled over my refusal. “Tell me you really don’t want this and I’ll stop.” I stared at his lips, his morning scent washing over me as all the things we did last night came back to me making me want him even more.I don’t know what happened. I didn’t even form the thought. My mouth just opened, and I closed that little distance between us.Fireworks exploded in my head as his lips met mine. This wasn’t a hesitant sweet kiss at all. It was harsh and demanding… just like the man himself. His hand quickly found its way around the back of my neck, and there was no doubt it would hold me if I suddenly lost control of m
