The 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?"

  • The CEO's Contractual Wife   Chapter 352

    AlexanderThe drive to Al-Rashid Holdings took twenty minutes through moderate traffic. Inside the building, the receptionist greeted me warmly and directed us to the executive conference room where the ceremony would take place. Omar was already present, along with his three sons. Khalid's expression was carefully neutral, revealing nothing. Rashid looked relaxed, while Samir offered a genuine smile. "Mr. Carter." Omar extended his hand. "Thank you for coming." "The pleasure is mine, Mr. Al-Rashid." We settled around the conference table, legal documents stacked precisely before each person. Our attorneys had already verified everything, but protocol demanded one final review. "Shall we begin?" Omar asked. The next hour blurred into signatures and legal formalities. Omar signed first, his movements deliberate and ceremonial. Rashid went next, then Samir, both adding their signatures with minimal fanfare. Then it was Khalid's turn. He picked up the pen, staring at the signatur

    AlexanderMy fingers paused on a shirt button. "All of them?" "Every single piece." She turned slowly, showing off the midnight blue silk dress. The one I'd seen in that boutique window and immediately pictured on her. "This one is gorgeous, by the way. You have excellent taste." "Looks better on you than it did on the mannequin." I finished with my buttons, watching her move. The silk caught light beautifully, draping exactly how I'd imagined. "Try on another one." She laughed but disappeared from frame. When she returned, she wore the emerald cocktail dress, shorter than the blue one, the neckline more daring. "Jesus," I breathed. "Too much?" "Perfect. Absolutely perfect." I grabbed my tie, looping it around my neck while keeping my eyes on the screen. "Show me the others." She worked through every outfit, each one better than the last. The cream silk blouse with tailored pants. The burgundy wrap that made her skin glow. The cashmere jacket that somehow managed to be both pro

    Alexander"No point in wasting either of our time with false interest." Our food arrived, the lamb perfectly cooked and aromatic. I cut into it, savoring the first bite. "This is excellent." "Told you." Adrian attacked his own meal with enthusiasm. "So what are you working on in Dubai? The grapevine said something about a major hospitality deal." "Al-Rashid Holdings." "Omar Al-Rashid's company?" Adrian's eyes widened. "That's impressive. He's notoriously difficult to negotiate with." "He is," I agreed. "But we reached an understanding. The acquisition should finalize next week." "How did you manage that? I've heard stories about people trying and failing to even get a meeting with him." I smiled slightly. "Patience. Respect. Actually listening to what he wants instead of just pushing my own agenda." Adrian laughed. "Revolutionary concept in our industry." We ate in companionable silence for a few minutes, the restaurant's ambiance filling the space with soft music and distant

    Alexander"Wait," I said before she could disconnect. "Love you." Her smile softened the screen. "Love you too. Now go get some sleep before you turn into a grumpy zombie." "I'm never grumpy." She blew me a kiss. "Goodnight, Alex." The call ended, leaving me staring at my phone in the empty suite. I set it aside and headed to bed, exhaustion finally winning over restlessness. The next morning, my phone rang at eight AM sharp. Nadia's name flashed across the screen. "Mr. Carter? Omar Al-Rashid just called. They've agreed to your conditions and want to move forward with the acquisition." I sat up in bed, suddenly wide awake. "All of them?" "Yes. Mr. Al-Rashid said you convinced him that you understand what they've built. He wants to schedule the formal signing for next week." "That's excellent news." I ran a hand through my hair, already mentally shifting gears. "Set up the signing for Tuesday if possible. I want our legal team to review every clause one more time before we fin

    AlexanderOlivia's laugh came through the speaker, warm and genuine. "I'm not surprised at all. My mom has been dropping hints since the wedding. She keeps sending me articles about celebrities having babies, showing me photos of cousins' kids." She rolled her eyes. "Very subtle." I chuckled despite my exhaustion. "Parents are all the same, apparently. My mother will probably start the interrogation next time I see her." "Are you ready to be bombarded with baby questions when we visit?" "I can handle it." I grinned at her through the screen. "I'll just deflect to you." "Coward." "Strategist," I corrected. "There's a difference." She rolled her eyes but was smiling. "Anyway, that's the current state of my mother's interrogation tactics. Consider yourself warned." "Noted." I shifted on the sofa, getting more comfortable. "Though I have to ask, what kind of good news was she expecting? Did she seriously think you'd announce it over the phone?" "Knowing my mom? Probably." Olivia l

    Alexander"Such as?" Samir asked. "Operational autonomy for existing properties. Final say on hiring and firing key personnel. Brand identity protection. Regular performance reviews where you evaluate Carter Enterprises' support, not just us evaluating you." Omar's eyebrows rose. "Mutual accountability?" "Why not? If this partnership isn't working for Al-Rashid Holdings, what's the point?" Rashid and Samir exchanged glances, clearly not expecting that level of flexibility. For the next three hours, we worked through specific terms and concerns. Rashid proved shrewd on financial details, while Samir focused on preserving their hospitality culture. Omar mostly listened, asking occasional pointed questions that cut straight to the heart of issues. By late afternoon, we'd made substantial progress. "I need to discuss this with Khalid," Omar said finally. "He deserves to understand these protections." "Of course." "We'll reconvene tomorrow morning. Nine AM." I nodded, gathering m

    OliviaBy seven, I was back at the hotel, my feet sore but my heart full. I ordered room service for a light dinner, not wanting to fill up before whatever Alexander had planned for later. The roses in the bedroom had been refreshed while I was out, their scent even stronger now. I ran a bath in t

    OliviaAlexander sat beside me, his arm draped casually over the back of the sofa. "Any thoughts on what you'd like to do tomorrow? I have meetings until three, but after that I'm all yours." "The Tower of London," I decided. "And maybe the British Museum." "Both excellent choices," he approved.

    OliviaWe took the elevator down to the lobby, where a sleek black Mercedes waited at the curb. The hotel had arranged it, another perk of staying in the Presidential Suite. The driver, a middle-aged man with kind eyes, held the door open. "Good afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Carter. Where would you like

I shattered, my orgasm ripping through me with shocking intensity. My pussy clamped down on his fingers as waves of pleasure rolle
