The Marriage Contract Chapter seven
ALEXA'S POV.It was night, and time to sleep, but my head couldn't stop circling around my husband confessing his love for me.I do love him, but I still feel doubt because he's secretive, and he doesn't trust me enough to rely on me.Although it's not easy to open up to someone, maybe that's why it's taking time for him.The door opened, and he entered in. He can't even make his calls around me. He had to leave to make a call. It bothers me.He climbed the bed, laid down, and threw his right hand over me, his arm on my stomach.I felt like wanting to know who he was talking to, but I decided I shouldn't spoil the mood. I tend to do that."Babe." He called, his eyes closed."Hmm," I responded."Stop thinking, and sleep. Your thoughts could disturb the babies from sleeping too."I chuckled at his statement. I wonder what is in his head, especially about pregnancy. He always has crazy things to say. He can be crazy."It's late. Quit it." He said again.I just smiled, and then I turned,

I can't...I can't lose my family. A family that even if the world is turned upside down, I still wouldn't have believed I'll have.Now I have to be a responsible husband and father and vanish the enemies that happen to surround us.It's just... It's just that I only have a limited time, and with that little time, I'm not sure what can be accomplished.I have to be fast, cause even with that little time, the enemies could pull one over me. They could present to me the unexpected. I don't want things to be too late."Mr. Hodge"I turned to look who I'd been waiting for. A spark to getting my job done. Just hope it lights.I stood up from the bench I sat on, and we shook hands."I wasn't really expecting we'll be meeting in a park." He said looking around.I nodded. "That's right, but don't fret. I'm jus

LEONARD'S POV.It's late now, and we are already settled on the bed ready to sleep. I couldn't help but keep staring at my wife who doesn't seem to be in a good mood and seemed lost in thoughts.It kinda bugs me. I wonder what has gotten into her."Babe," I called her for the nth time, but she refused to answer me. She kept ignoring me.I sighed. I was planning on taking her out tomorrow, but with this sudden behavior of hers, I'm not so sure anymore.Something is definitely going on in her head. Obviously about me.I hope she's not thinking twice about...My phone ringing distracted me from my thoughts but happened to get my wife to look at me.I slowly sat up, carrying my phone off the vanity. I furrowed my brows at the caller ID."Who's calling you at night?" Alexa suddenly asked.And here I thought she lost her sense of speech.I looked at her. "A friend."I stood up and walked straight to the door on my way out of it."Can't you answer the call in here? Or is there something stop

3RD PERSON POV.Lion, the boss's right-hand man, and Owen, his left-hand man walked to where their boss sat since they were called by him."You sent for us, boss." Lion acknowledged.The boss nodded. "Yes, I did.""What is it about?" Owen asked with interest."I heard the drug trafficking was a success." The boss began.Lion nodded. "Yes, Sir. We were going to report it to you.""What about the gun smuggling?" He asked."It was equally a success. Luckily, the police don't have an inkling of who we are." Lion reported."I told you guys I hate receiving information from rumors, didn't I?"They both nodded."Apologies, boss," Owen said with a bow."I want things to really go smoothly. I'd hate if the police are on to us. None of us have been caught, right?" The boss asked.They shook their head."None, Sir."The boss nodded. "Good.""Anything else, boss?" Lion asked.The boss sighed and stood up. "As you know, my life's plan has been postponed, but I need you two to work out things for m
The Marriage Contract Chapter eleven
ALEXA'S POV.Four days later. (September 1st. Wednesday.)What am I gonna do? I feel so stupid as I'm in the middle of things that I can't comprehend. Everybody around me seems to be suspicious.My godfather. My husband. Even my friends.Weirdly, we don't always talk like before, and I have a theory about why?It's because they're scared that they might let something slip.I already feel stupid, but I wonder if they actually think that I'm that stupid to not notice those kinda things.Wait... I need to put these things together from the time my doubts all started.I leaned back on my office chair as I circle around in thoughts searching for the time my suspicions started arousing.Oh yeah. I was in the hospital, and they made a statement about how my pregnancy shouldn't be in the way of my going back to work. It shouldn't be suspicious, except for the fact that they changed their thoughts, and that I should wait til I give birth.That was suspicious, right? Enough for me to suspect th

ALEXA'S POV.I kept giving glances at Leonard, as we sat on the couch watching TV. I was wondering if I should confide in him. I mean, I don't know if I should. I don't know who to trust if my own godfather sparkles with doubts all around.Or should I? He seems to know a lot of things. He probably could have an idea."I know you've got something to say to me." He said. His eyes are still fixated on the movie he's watching. Of course, he noticed it. He always notices.He looked at me. "What is it?""I..." I stuttered, then cleared my throat. "I just wanted to show you something," I told him with a firm decision to let him know.I handed the file to him, and his eyes narrowed at me. I know he was getting confused.He opened it and was scanning through it."Can you read it out loud?"His brows furrowed at me, but he nodded. I know he has caught a glimpse of some of what is written there."Please, Mrs. Hodge, this isn't something you should doubt. I'm informing you to let you know that c

LEONARD'S POV.2nd September. Thursday.I entered my room and stared at my wife with a smile as she still slept soundly on the bed. It was a long night yesterday, so she's probably really tired to still be sleeping til now since it's already nine in the morning.I don't really have much to do until I find out the time when the truck containing the drugs will arrive, so I'm guessing I'll be home for a while.At least, my wife won't be alone for a few days, cause I know that after Tuesday the war has officially begun.We're already in a new month, and my wife has been pregnant since June. The days are counting, and in the next five months, bad things can happen if I don't play my games well.My dad is no longer hiding. He's showing himself which means he's ready to do something bad.I sighed and walked up to her. I lay on the bed and planted a kiss on her forehead."Hey, baby. Wake up."She was still unresponsive.I planted a kiss on her lips. "Wake up. It's morning."She let out a breat
The Marriage Contract Chapter fourteen
PHOEBE'S POV."We have to talk to Leonard." Emily seriously said.I nodded. "I agree. Who would have thought? Thank God you didn't get caught." I said in fear since she almost did.I find it so hard to believe that that godfather is the devil in all these. He's the trash in Alexa's life and made his own son a pawn."Leonard knows what's going on. We've investigated enough on our own. It's high time we work with him, and tell Alexa the truth. She needs to be careful." Emily stated."I know it was her godfather she saw on the day of the accident." I reckoned.Emily nodded. "Me too, and the danger isn't over. Alexa is still alive because of somebody, as I overheard, and I have an idea who that somebody is."I furrowed my brows. "Who?""Leonard. I know it's Leonard. One way or another he's involved. He's not blind not to know what his father is involved with."I nodded. "Then let's call Alexa. We don't have Leonard's number."She sighed. "I know Alexa suspects something going on. She's no
