As the workday wrapped up, I felt a mix of exhaustion and accomplishment. The Thompson team had dispersed with their assignments, and my inbox was finally under control. I was just shutting down my computer when Alexander appeared in my doorway, his suit jacket draped over one arm and sleeves rolled up to expose his forearms.

"Ready to go car shopping, Mrs. Carter?" He leaned against the doorframe, a playful smile on his lips.

"Do I have a choice?" I asked, gathering my purse.

"Always," he replied. "But I think you'll enjoy this more than you expect."

We rode the elevator down in comfortable silence, but as we walked through the parking garage, I felt a small flutter of excitement. I'd never owned a new car, let alone a luxury vehicle.

"So where are we going?" I asked as Alexander held the passenger door open for me.

"Beverly Hills. I have an arrangement with Prestigio Motors." He slid into the driver's seat. "They'll stay open late for us."

"Of course they will," I mutt

  • The CEO's Contractual Wife   Chapter 136

    OliviaI froze, my coffee cup halfway to my lips, as Ryan's words hung in the air between us. What the hell was he playing at? My mind raced, trying to understand why he'd suddenly appeared in my life again, throwing accusations about my marriage. I set my cup down with deliberate care, buying myself a moment. Five months ago, this man had shattered my heart when I caught him with Sophia. Now he was sitting across from me, looking at me with those familiar eyes, spewing nonsense about my marriage. "What are you talking about? Where did you hear that bullshit?" I hissed, leaning forward myself. "I didn't hear it anywhere. I figured it out." He tapped his temple. "Think about it. You've always been cautious, methodical. You wouldn't even move in with me after years together. But suddenly you're married to your boss." "So your evidence is that I married too quickly for your liking? That's rich coming from you." "There's more to it." His eyes narrowed. "Carter Enterprises' stock jump

  • The CEO's Contractual Wife   Chapter 135

    AlexanderI couldn't help but laugh, the sound echoing in the break room. "You can't beat me, James. You never could." His eyes narrowed slightly, but his smile remained fixed. "Not yet. But one day, Alexander. One day I will." The casual observer might have seen friendly banter between business rivals, but I knew better. Our competition had begun years ago in college, and what had started as a friendly rivalry had morphed into something far more complex. "Why don't we get back to the meeting?" I suggested, turning toward the door. "Wait," James said, his voice suddenly less confident. "I've been meaning to ask you something. Why wasn't I invited to your wedding?" I paused, genuinely surprised by the question. "My wedding?" "Yes, your wedding," he repeated, his tone casual but eyes watchful. "Was it intentional, or did you just forget about your old friend?" I hadn't given it a second thought. With the rushed timeline and everything else happening, James hadn't even crossed my

    AlexanderI parted from Olivia at the elevator, heading toward my office. Just before the doors closed, I turned back for one final look.Olivia stood tall, confidence radiating from her posture as she spoke with another employee. The pencil skirt hugged her curves perfectly, accentuating her shapely legs and the gentle swell of her hips. The matching blazer highlighted her trim waist before flaring subtly over her breasts.She was magnificent, not just physically attractive but commanding attention with her intelligence and poise. Even from this distance, I could see how she captivated her audience, gesturing animatedly as she spoke.My wife was making quite an impression at Carter Enterprises, not just because of her connection to me.When I reached my office, Jessica was already waiting, tablet in hand and coffee on my desk."Good morning, Mr. Carter," she greeted, professional as always. "Your schedule is updated on your tablet. The acquisition meeting at Meridian Properties has b

    OliviaI inhaled deeply, letting the earthy aroma fill my senses before taking a bite. "Oh my god," I moaned, eyes closing involuntarily. "This is incredible." Alexander watched me with amusement. "I take it you approve?" "I might need a moment alone with this food," I joked, taking another bite. "What is this exactly?" "Risotto with black truffles and a hint of aged parmesan." He took a bite himself, nodding appreciatively. "The chef here imports the truffles directly from Italy." "Of course he does." I rolled my eyes playfully. "Do you ever do anything that isn't ridiculously extravagant?" "I married you, didn't I?" Alexander quipped, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Are you calling me cheap, Mr. Carter?" I gasped in mock offense. "Not cheap. Priceless." He leaned forward, his voice dropping. "And that's exactly why you deserve extravagant things." The sincerity in his voice caught me off guard, sending an unexpected flutter through my stomach. I busied myself with anothe

  • The CEO's Contractual Wife   Chapter 131

    OliviaI woke up with a delicious ache between my legs and memories of last night flooding my mind. Alexander had already left the bed, and I could hear the shower running in the en-suite bathroom. The bathroom door opened, and Alexander emerged with a towel wrapped around his waist, water droplets still clinging to his chest. "Morning," he said, his voice deep and gravelly. "Sleep well?" "When you finally let me sleep, yes." I sat up, pulling the sheet around me. He grinned. "You weren't complaining last night." "No, I definitely wasn't." I returned his smile, then glanced at the clock. "We should get ready for work." "Take your time," he said, dropping his towel as he walked to the closet. "I told Alfred to have the car ready in an hour." I tried not to stare at his naked form, but failed miserably. Alexander caught me looking and smirked. "Like what you see, Mrs. Carter?" "You know I do," I admitted, finally dragging myself out of bed. "But if you keep standing there like
