Kevin Harris entered first, a silver-haired man in his early sixties with sharp eyes that missed nothing. Behind him came three executives: a younger woman with glasses who had CFO written all over her, a balding man clutching a leather portfolio, and a third person I recognized from LinkedIn as their head of marketing.

"Mr. Harris." I extended my hand, my grip firm. "Thank you for making the trip. I'm Olivia Carter."

"Mrs. Carter." His handshake matched mine in strength. "I've heard i

  • The CEO's Contractual Wife   Chapter 310

    AlexanderThomas's hands clenched into fists on his desk. "What do you want?" "Right now? I want you to understand that I have options. And one of those options is sending these photos to Victoria." "You wouldn't." "Wouldn't I?" I met his gaze directly. "You've been helping Victoria undermine my marriage for weeks. Spreading rumors, planting stories, probably funding those articles about Olivia. You think I'm going to just let that slide?" "I haven't done anything—" "Don't lie to me, Thomas. We're past that point." I gestured to his phone. "I have proof of your affair. I have documentation of your insider trading. And I have enough evidence to end your career and your marriage in one afternoon." The color drained further from his face. "Insider trading?" "Securities fraud. Using board information to make trades ahead of major announcements. You've been at it for months." I smiled coldly. "Did you really think nobody was watching?" Thomas sank into his chair, the fight going ou

    AlexanderThe comment sections were worse. "She's not even that talented. Friend works at Carter and says everyone knows she's only there because she married the boss." "Gold digger vibes. Married rich and suddenly she's some marketing genius? Please." "Alexander Carter must be pussy-whipped. No way he'd promote someone this unqualified otherwise." I felt my jaw clench. This was designed to make Olivia question herself, to make others question her legitimacy. Victoria. This had her fingerprints all over it. I pulled up my phone and dialed Rachel back. "Mr. Carter?" "Don't do anything," I said flatly. "Leave the articles up." Silence on the other end. "Sir? You want us to leave them?" "Yes. Don't contact the sites, don't issue takedown requests, nothing. Let them circulate." "May I ask why?" "Because taking them down makes us look defensive. Like we're trying to hide something." I leaned back in my chair. "Olivia's work speaks for itself. Thompson Hotels was a success beca

  • The CEO's Contractual Wife   Chapter 308

    AlexanderThe conference room hummed with low conversation as the board members settled into their leather chairs. I stood at the head of the table, hands resting on the polished mahogany surface, waiting for everyone to quiet down. "Gentlemen, ladies." The room fell silent. "Let's get started." Jessica distributed folders to each member, the soft thud of paper on wood punctuating the stillness. I pulled up the presentation on the screen behind me, the first slide showing architectural renderings of a massive development project. "What you're looking at is the Riverside Commerce Center," I began, clicking to the next slide. "Forty-two acres of prime commercial real estate along the Los Angeles River. Currently undeveloped, previously zoned industrial." One of the board members leaned forward. "How did we acquire the zoning variance?" "City council approved it three weeks ago. Took eighteen months of negotiations, but we got what we needed." I advanced to the next slide, which sho

    OliviaEmilia was quiet for a beat. When she spoke again, her voice was firm. "You listen to me, Olivia Morgan-Carter. You earned every single thing you have. You worked your ass off for years at that company. You landed Thompson Hotels because you're brilliant, not because of Alexander's last name." "But—" "No buts. Yes, being married to Alexander opened doors. That's how the world works. Connections matter. But you're the one who walked through those doors and delivered results. You're the one impressing clients and building campaigns that actually work." She pulled up to a stoplight, turning to look at me directly. "Don't let anonymous internet trolls make you doubt yourself." "It's hard not to when it feels like everyone's thinking it." "Everyone's not thinking it. A handful of jealous people are thinking it. Big difference." The light changed, and she drove forward. "Besides, what matters more? What strangers think, or what you know to be true?" I didn't have a good answer f

    Olivia"What did Alexander say about all this?" Emilia asked. "Nothing yet. I haven't told him." Her eyebrows shot up. "Why not?" "Because he'll just tell me to ignore it. Or worse, he'll try to track down who's posting these comments and make it a whole thing." "Would that be so bad?" "Yes." I rubbed my temples. "I don't want Alexander fighting my battles for me. That just proves their point, doesn't it? That I need him to succeed." Emilia studied me for a long moment. "You're overthinking this." "Probably." I managed a weak smile. "It's kind of my specialty." "Listen to me," Emilia said firmly. "You are talented. You are qualified. You earned your promotion and your accounts through hard work and brilliant strategy. The fact that you're married to Alexander is irrelevant to your professional capabilities." "Easy for you to say. You didn't marry a billionaire CEO." "True. But if I had, I'd tell anyone who had a problem with it to fuck right off." She grinned. "Actually, I'd

  • The CEO's Contractual Wife   Chapter 305

    OliviaI shook my head violently, physically trying to dislodge the doubt. That was what they wanted. They wanted me to question myself, to fail, to prove their ugly assumptions correct. Screw that. I grabbed my phone and purse, needing air, needing space to think away from these four walls that suddenly felt suffocating. The Cornerstone files could wait an hour. Outside, the morning sun hit my face, warm and reassuring. I walked for a while, letting my feet carry me without any real destination in mind. The sidewalks were already filling with the morning rush, people clutching coffee cups and staring at their phones. I needed space. Needed air. Needed to think about anything except those comments and the poison they were spreading through my brain. Eventually, I found myself standing outside a café I'd never been to before. Through the windows, I could see people scattered at tables, the warm glow of pendant lights creating pockets of intimacy in the modern space. Perfect. I p

    Olivia"Or what?" the blonde challenged, crossing her arms. "You'll throw your happy hour cocktails at us?" "Don't tempt me," Emilia growled, taking a half-step forward. The first woman smirked. "We're just trying to save your friend some heartbreak. Alexander Carter has a type, you know. Pretty,

    OliviaAlexander met my brother's gaze steadily. "To make her happy. To build a life together. The usual things a man wants with a woman he cares about." "And the fact that she works for you doesn't complicate things?" Nick pressed. "It did at first," Alexander admitted. "But we've worked through

    OliviaWe fell into silence then, each lost in our own thoughts. The steady tick of the wall clock seemed unnaturally loud in the quiet room. I checked my phone, surprised to see a text from Alexander. Alexander: Made it back to the office. Let me know when your father is out of surgery. I can hav

    Olivia"I'm gonna come," I warned, my voice breaking. "Not yet," he ordered, yanking my hair harder. "Wait for me." I bit my lip, trying desperately to hold back the orgasm that threatened to overwhelm me. Alexander's thrusts became harder, faster, his cock somehow growing even thicker inside me.
