Bella

I wanted to be so lackadaisable about what was going on, but my baby kicked.

I wanted to give him a hard slap on his face for being so nonchalant all along. I wanted to push him away and warn him subtly to never treat me the way he always did.

But the shadow never stopped coming closer—The one moment I was always looking out for was coming to an abrupt end.

I didn't know what to do about it.

“Sir! Mr. Blackwood! I'm so sorry to interrupt, but there's a man at the entrance of the gate.

  • The Contract Wife    The Bracelet and the lie between them

    BellaThe Bracelet sat on the desk between us like a confession neither of us was brave enough to finish. The doctor checked me up and recommended that I avoid stress at all costs. I literally fainted. I backed out without any warning. What was Lucas doing? The things he did were already enough. Later that evening, Alex finally summoned Lucas to the mansion. They spoke so casually, almost like they already knew themselves. “He's coming and I'm going to set things straight," he added after the call ended. “What's that going to do? As much as you don't want to believe what I'm telling you, I wonder what you're going to do when Lucas finally tells you the truth." I understood. Alex picked it up the way a man might lift something that could still burn. His fingers closed around the thin metal with a care I had never seen from him. It was not with documents, not with glasses, not even with me. He turned it over once, twice, watching the light catch the small engraved edge. The roo

I'm so sorry to interrupt, but there's a man at the entrance of the gate. He demands to see you urgently," the security man panted. It was obvious he was running, big when he got up here and saw us, he gave us a bit of time. "Why have you decided to come now?” Alex rudely retorted. It almost felt like he was enjoying the moment as well. He acted off like, you have always had me in your mansion. Why are you deliberate on acting differently tonight?Because I saved his reputation?I moved away and stared at the security man as he walked out. Either way, I never sto

  • The Contract Wife    The Choice She Didn't Contract For

    Bella This marriage was a business transaction. I didn't want to feel anything or plan to walk out of this chapter like it was something I badly wanted The four corners of the room had three different souls who knew exactly what they were doing. Alex, Valerie and myself carried the weight of the news in the air. It was so difficult to breathe because regardless of the fact that it concerned them, it was myself and Ethan in that photo. It wasn't any of them. We were the ones bearing the cross heavily. Silence sang out loud, so loud that I could hear my heart pound so deeply in my chest. My breaths went deeper as I tried to inhale, and the fake attention I was getting from Valerie—Nothing made sense. Was it all planned?“Are we just going to remain quiet?" Alex broke the silence. “What do you even mean? I have been waiting for Bella to say something…" Valerie cut in. Truly, she didn't change. Her opinion wasn't needed and it would have been better if she didn't say a word. I w

  • The Contract Wife    When Enemies Share a Table

    Bella The worst betrayals in my life had always worn a familiar face. I should have been better at recognizing them by now.I got from my bed feeling a bit musty and moody, little did I know that there was a bomb right by my side. My phone kept beeping over and over. My heart raced as I overheard a loud noise on the door. It sounded like the person had been there for hours. I left my phone first and went on for who could be at the door. It felt like I had made the wrong decision, but there was no other way to clear off the air of fear.“Who took these pictures? What's all of this? How dare you want to ruin every single thing that I have toiled to build?” The rage I got from my dearest contract husband left me standing still in my night robes, big eye bags and a face of disgust for something I had no idea about. “Can you at least have a proper communication with me? You are shouting, you are raging and I'm not getting anything from you," I replied out of disgust. "You know it's

  • The Contract Wife    The Man Who Wasn't Invited

    Bella He appeared at the edge of the charity luncheon like an afterthought. The type someone must have planned quietly and very carefully. I had learned that by then nothing in Alex Blackwood’s mansion was an accident. Nothing was an accident. Everything was quietly planned and looked at. After all the chaos, I was here properly dressed in the most luxurious gowns and jewelry from his brand and going solo at a women's in business luncheon. He made me a Blackwood Foundation representative. It was awkward that I wasn't here with him. He would have buried his eyes on me. He would have wanted to watch my every move. Tonight was totally…totally different. I was as free as a bird. No one was going to control where I was going and what I had to do. I could freely engage with anyone without feeling any sort of remorse. I wouldn't have to feel indebted at any point. It was such a glorious feeling, with no perfect description. Everyone sat on the Champaign table. I lingered with my thou

  • The Contract Wife    No More Rehearsals

    BellaThere was no yelling because the quieter he got, the more everything shook.He called me into the study the next morning with nothing more than my name spoken once from the doorway. No raised voice. No explanation. Just the single word and the expectation that I would follow. I did. The room was already stripped of pretense. The curtains were half-drawn, desk cleared except for a single photograph lying face-up in the center. The day I walked through those glass doors alone.He said nothing. He simply stood on the other side of the desk and waited.I understood the shape of the silence. The choice to speak was being offered to me, but the choice about whether I spoke had already been made by circumstance. The photograph had done that work. My hands found the edge of the desk and held on.“I’m pregnant.”The words left my mouth without the apology I had rehearsed in the dark. I did not soften them. I did not look away.“I kept it from you because of the contract. The clause that

  • The Contract Wife    Chaos and Composure

    Bella“Are you okay, ma’am?” I opened my eyes to find the nurse by my side—I was back to reality.“Where's my father?” I asked cautiously. My breath caught in my throat, and I felt the sting of fear cut deep as I got up from the bed.“You have to rest, you just fainted,” she added. I didn't care a

  • The Contract Wife    The Night to Remember

    BellaI swirled on the bed only to be blessed with a sight that made my heart race and fall into my stomach.“Damn!” I mouthed quietly. The room was so scattered, and I blinked to have a clear vision of everything while breathing heavily. Beside me was a man—he was still asleep. He laid on the othe

  • The Contract Wife    The Man behind the Smile

    BellaAlex's world was full of men who smiled with their teeth and watched you with their eyes. After receiving the large sum of money, I realized that truly, I was nothing more than a pet in the eyes of Alex. I had to do everything he told me to. I acted only in the way he needed me to act. I was

  • The Contract Wife    The Golden Cage

    Bella The bedroom I was given was bigger than my entire apartment that the bank almost took away from me. Deep down, I told myself that it was a good thing. Even after I said that to myself more than three times, it was hard to believe in even one of them. I was shown my quarters and at that mom
