I groaned and tossed my phone onto the couch cushion beside me. Why was he so damn stubborn? First, showing up at the hospital like some knight in an Armani suit, and now insisting on coming to my apartment in the middle of the night. What part of our contract covered midnight food delivery?

The thought of Alexander seeing my tiny apartment made me glance around with fresh eyes. It wasn't messy, exactly, but it wasn't CEO-of-a-multi-billion-dollar company ready either. The contrast between his sleek penthouse and my cozy apartment would be laughable.

With a resigned sigh, I pushed myself off the couch. If he was coming, I at least needed a shower. I'd spent all day in a hospital waiting room, and I probably smelled like anxiety and bad coffee.

The hot water felt heavenly against my tired muscles. I washed my hair quickly, then stood under the spray for an extra minute, letting the water cascade down my back. The thought of Alexander in my space sent a flutter through my stom

  • The CEO's Contractual Wife   Chapter 126

    Olivia"I've taken the liberty of organizing your calendar for the rest of the week," he said, showing me his tablet. "You have a department meeting tomorrow at 10, a budget review at 2, and a check-in with Michelle on Friday about the Thompson project." "Impressive," I admitted. "What about today?" "Clear except for a 4:30 call with HR about your benefits package." "Perfect. After that call, I'd like you to set up a team meeting for tomorrow afternoon. I need to assemble a group for the Thompson project." "Any specific people in mind?" I rattled off a list of names from different departments, digital, creative, analytics, and PR, that I wanted on my team. Dylan's fingers flew across his tablet as he took notes. "And I'll need access to the executive marketing servers," I added. "Already requested." He smiled. "It should be set up by tomorrow morning." "You're good at this," I said, genuinely impressed. "That's the idea." He stood, adjusting his impeccably tailored blazer. "A

    OliviaAlice had the decency to look embarrassed. "Nothing. Just... you know how people talk." My stomach clenched. "What are people saying?" The three exchanged glances. "Nothing specific," Vivian said carefully. "Just the usual office gossip when someone gets a big promotion soon after marrying the CEO." "I've been working my ass off for so long," I reminded them, anger simmering beneath my professional facade. "I've stayed late, come in on weekends, and delivered results consistently." "We know that," Nova assured me quickly. "And anyone who's worked with you knows it too. Don't mind the jealous assholes." As if on cue, there was another knock, and Jessica appeared with my new security badge and office keys. "Mrs. Carter, here are your credentials," she said, handing me a sleek leather folder. "HR has scheduled an orientation session at 11 AM to review your new system accesses and responsibilities. Is there anything else you need?" "No, thank you, Jessica." After she left,

    OliviaMy stomach clenched as I stared at Ryan's name flashing on my screen, my finger hovering over the answer button. "Who is it?" Alexander asked, his eyes briefly flicking from the road. "No one important," I muttered, rejecting the call with a swipe. The screen went dark, and I shoved the phone back into my purse. Alexander's eyebrow arched. "Didn't look like 'no one important' from your expression." "It was Ryan." The admission felt like acid in my mouth. "Your ex? The one who fucked your friend at her birthday party?" I winced at his bluntness. "Yes, that Ryan." "What the fuck does he want?" "I have no idea. And I don't care." I turned to look out the window, watching the Los Angeles scenery blur past. "He's likely regretting his mistake after seeing me all over social media with you." Alexander's knuckles whitened on the steering wheel. "If he bothers you—" "He won't," I interrupted. "I can handle Ryan." "I'm sure you can," Alexander said, his voice softening slight

    OliviaAfter a quick lunch with my parents, I headed to the estate, anxious to see how my belongings would look in my new home. The gates swung open as the car approached, and I felt a strange mix of excitement and trepidation. This was really my life now. Alfred met me at the door, his expression as impassive as ever. "Mrs. Carter, the movers have delivered your items. I've directed them to place the boxes in the designated areas as Mr. Carter instructed." "Thank you, Alfred," I said, still uncomfortable with being waited on. "I can take it from here." "Very good, ma'am. Chef will serve dinner at seven, unless you'd prefer a different time?" "Seven is fine," I assured him, already heading for the stairs. "I'll just start unpacking." I found my clothes already hanging in the enormous walk-in closet, taking up maybe a tenth of the available space. My books had been arranged on shelves in the library, and my toiletries were placed neatly in the bathroom cabinets. It was like magic,

    OliviaI arched my back as his thumb continued working my clit while his fingers pumped steadily. "Oh god, right there." "You like that? Like my fingers inside you?" "Yes," I hissed, rocking against his hand. "But I want more." "Greedy girl. Always wanting more." "Can you blame me?" I reached behind, finding his cock hard and ready. I stroked him under the water, enjoying his sharp intake of breath. "When you've got this to offer?" "Fuck, Liv," he groaned as I ran my thumb over his sensitive tip. "Keep that up, and we won't make it to the bedroom." "Who says we need to?" I turned in the tub, water cascading around us as I faced him. I straddled his lap, his cock pressing against my entrance. "Why wait?" His hands gripped my hips, holding me just above where I wanted to be. "Because I want to fuck you properly. On our bed." I leaned forward to kiss him again, slower this time, my breasts pressing against his chest. "Then what are we waiting for?" We barely dried off before Ale

    OliviaAlexander's phone rang, interrupting whatever he was about to say next. He glanced at the screen and frowned. "I need to take this," he said, already walking toward the door. I turned back to the drawer and continued to sort through my underwear. Alexander's voice drifted from the living room, his tone shifting from casual to commanding in an instant. After a few minutes, he returned, looking agitated. "I have to go. There's an emergency meeting with the board that I can't miss." "Now? But we just started packing." "I know, and I'm sorry. Corporate bullshit waits for no man, not even on his honeymoon comedown." "It's fine," I said, trying not to sound disappointed. "I can handle this." Alexander checked his watch. "I'll send some movers tomorrow. Just focus on packing your personal items today." "I can call Emilia to help," I suggested. "Good idea." He leaned down and kissed me quickly. "I'll make it up to you tonight." "Is that a promise or a threat?" I teased. His
