The cathedral was breathtaking up close, every inch covered in intricate marble carvings and statues. Hundreds of spires jutted skyward, each topped with its own sculpture. The facade alone could have kept me occupied for hours.

"It's impressive," Alexander admitted, tilting his head back to take in the full height.

"Impressive? That's all you've got?" I elbowed him gently. "This took nearly six centuries to complete. Six centuries of artisans pouring their lives into creating something beautiful."

"When you put it that way, yes, it's extraordinary." He wrapped an arm around my shoulders. "Want to go inside?"

The interior was just as stunning as the exterior promised. Enormous columns stretched toward vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows cast colored light across the stone floor, and everywhere I looked revealed new details to admire.

"Oh my god," I breathed, spinning slowly to take it all in. "This is incredible."

Alexander watched me with that expression he got somet

So when Alexander told Olivia that since they were married what was his was hers and Olivia responded yes in a real marriage, we have an arrangement. Alexander winched. This shows me his feelings are changing positively for Olivia.

Really? This is not an ending. When will you publish the rest of their story. Absolutely ridiculous that you don’t have more chapters or book two.

  • The CEO's Contractual Wife   Chapter 250

    AlexanderWe played the seventeenth hole in tense silence. James parred, I managed to recover from my rough landing and also parred, and Grandfather's specially adapted swing netted him a bogey. On the eighteenth tee, the final hole, Grandfather spoke up. "James, you planning to attend the Merchants Association gala next month?" "Wouldn't miss it," James replied. "Should be quite the event." "Alexander and Olivia will be there as well," Grandfather said pointedly. "Looking forward to it," James said smoothly. "I'm sure it'll be memorable." I lined up my final drive, determined to end on a high note. The ball connected perfectly, sailing down the fairway in a beautiful arc. It landed on the green, rolling to within ten feet of the pin. "Eagle opportunity," Grandfather said appreciatively. "Now that's how you finish." James's drive was solid but landed short of the green. He'd need a chip shot to have any chance at birdie. We made our way to the eighteenth green, the clubhouse v

  • The CEO's Contractual Wife   Chapter 249

    AlexanderThe previous day… I pulled into the parking lot of Wilshire Country Club just after ten on Sunday morning, the familiar sight of manicured greens stretching out before me. The valet approached before I'd even killed the engine. "Good morning, Mr. Carter." "Morning." I handed him the keys and headed toward the clubhouse. The place was busy for a Sunday, members scattered across the grounds, enjoying the perfect LA weather. I nodded to a few familiar faces as I made my way toward the pro shop, where I spotted Mike reviewing his scorecard with another member. "Mr. Carter!" He waved me over. "Didn't expect to see you here today." I glanced around. "Grandfather mentioned he'd be here this morning." Mike grinned. "Course twelve. Playing with James Westbrook and Senator Dawkins. Started about forty minutes ago." Of course, Grandfather would be playing with James. The old man loved keeping tabs on my competitors. "Thanks." I headed toward the course, spotting a golf cart pa

    OliviaThe elevator doors slid open on the executive floor. Alexander's hand fell away from my back as we separated, heading in opposite directions toward our offices. "See you later," he called over his shoulder. I nodded, already pulling out my phone to check emails. Dylan was waiting outside my office, tablet in hand, and a coffee cup. "Morning, boss. You look like you need this more than I do." "You're a saint." I grabbed the cup gratefully. "What's on the schedule?" "Team meeting in thirty. Then you've got a call with the Thompson Hotels people at eleven. Michelle wants a progress update by the end of the day." I groaned softly. The Thompson project consumed most of my waking hours lately. Good work, important client, but exhausting. "Got it. Anything else?" "Just the usual fires to put out." Dylan followed me into my office. "Marcus is having another creative crisis. Ava wants approval on the new mockups. And someone from accounting needs your signature on like fifty for

    OliviaHis breathing evened out behind me, his chest rising and falling against my back. The room fell into comfortable silence, just the distant hum of the city through the windows and the occasional rustle of sheets. I stared at the ceiling, my mind refusing to quiet despite my exhausted body. "Do we win in this game?" I asked suddenly, my voice barely above a whisper. Alexander's arm tightened around my waist. "What game?" "With Victoria. With all of this." I turned my head slightly. "Does it ever end?" He was quiet for a moment, his thumb tracing lazy circles on my hip. "Victoria will lose in the end. She always does." "You sound pretty confident about that." "I am." His voice carried that trademark Carter certainty. "Don't worry about Victoria. She makes a lot of noise, but that's all it is. Noise." I wanted to believe him. Wanted to trust that everything would work out, that the contract would end smoothly, that I'd walk away with my money and my dignity intact. But the

    OliviaI turned my head, giving him better access. His hands slid around to cup my breasts, thumbs brushing over nipples that were already hard. "Alex." "Mmm?" He rolled my nipples between his fingers, just enough pressure to make me squirm. "This was supposed to be relaxing." "It is relaxing." He bit my earlobe. "Very relaxing." I could feel him hardening against my back, his cock pressing insistently between my ass cheeks. My body responded automatically, heat pooling low in my belly. One of his hands slid down my stomach, fingers dipping between my thighs. I spread my legs automatically, giving him room to work. "Still sore?" he asked, his fingers finding my clit. "A little." "I'll be gentle." He circled slowly, the water making everything slippery. "For now." I arched into his touch, my hands gripping his thighs for leverage. His other hand stayed on my breast, plucking at my nipple while his fingers worked magic between my legs. "Fuck," I gasped as he slid two fingers

    OliviaHis fingers resumed their punishing pace, his thumb circling my clit with perfect pressure. The orgasm built fast and hard, my body coiling tighter and tighter. I shattered, my orgasm ripping through me with shocking intensity. My pussy clamped down on his fingers as waves of pleasure rolled through my body. I cried out, burying my face in the pillow to muffle the sound. "Fuck yes," Alexander groaned, working me through it. "That's my girl." Before I could catch my breath, he withdrew his fingers and flipped me onto my back. He stripped off his boxer briefs, his cock standing thick and hard between his legs. "Legs up," he ordered, grabbing my thighs and pushing them toward my chest. "Hold them there." I gripped behind my knees, spreading myself wide for him. He stared down at my exposed pussy, his eyes dark with hunger. "Beautiful." He positioned himself at my entrance, the head of his cock nudging against my slick opening. "So fucking beautiful." He thrust in hard, bury
