The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again Fake my death for tonight?
Chapter 53Michael's POVI kept wondering what Raymond was up to. Was it perhaps some kind of trick? Or was it rather some kind of plot? I fixed my gaze on him, multiple feelings swirling up my mind. But then, I could sense from within me that he was hiding some kind of pain, but I didn't mind."What do you want? Why are you here?" I asked, my face firm as Freya slowly walked over to my side, probably as a hiding place. "I can help you take down Ambrose," he said, as I narrowed my eyes, looking deep into his face like I was searching for answers."And why would you want to do that? Have you forgotten I'm Michael, and then, haven't you always wanted my downfall? May I demand why you had the guts to barge into my office, disturbing my beautiful wife and me?" I asked, as I momentarily locked eyes with Freya. I couldn't stop staring at her as I closed my eyes, shaking off the erotic thought that had just popped into my mind."And what exactly do you plan to do this time?" I asked, my word

Chapter 54Emma's POVI couldn't stop thinking that Freya and Ambrose had a history together. I couldn't stop thinking of how he detected her hatred for potatoes the very day we had a family dinner at Grandpa's. And then, he had her phone as his possession. I could remember his facial expressions when he looked into the phone since that day. And then, I'd intentionally mentioned Freya's name a few times in our conversation just to see his expression, and I wasn't disappointed. Something more than a mere coincidence was happening here, and I was going to reveal all hidden secrets."Aunt Emma?" Waylen's voice broke me from my thoughts as I rested my gaze on him, trying to picture something that I couldn't detect. Was there a way Freya would have given birth to a child like Waylen? They didn't look anything similar. I knew this was probably thoughtless of me. Besides, Ambrose wouldn't have looked at a woman like Freya."Oh, my boy, how are you doing? It's raining out there. The weather i

Chapter 55Freya's POV"Was he going to watch another woman die again on a rainy day, or do something this time?" I wondered, still lying motionlessly, thinking of several ways to avoid the oncoming car. But somehow, I kept hoping that Michael would come to save me; at least, if I mattered to him like he did to me. "Freya, are you crazy! There's a car coming!" I could hear his voice, but it felt like it was from a distance; he still hid himself inside the car. My mind began to beat faster as the truck had gotten only a few meters away from me before it started honking, and the rain kept pouring down relentlessly. I closed my eyes deeply, thinking of how hurt everything made me; Michael not lifting a hand nor... A lump formed in my throat."How dare you, are you crazy?" Michael's voice came out in a loud and angry tone as I was dragged immediately from the soaked floor. I had my eyes closed, feigning everything perfectly, as I could hear the movement of the vehicle speeding past us.

Chapter 56Michael's POVI might have tried to ignore everything when Freya laid motionlessly on the floor. But then, seeing an incoming vehicle from afar brought back the memories and the vivid picture of that fateful night when my brakes had suddenly failed me. The pain and guilt I had carried for so long came flooding back.But then, something shifted inside me. Freya had somehow given me the strength to move on. Meeting Freya was indeed a miracle to me. Her words began to touch vital parts of my soul, awakening emotions I thought I had long buried................Right now, after spending a few minutes with her and sharing feelings together, I couldn't stop wanting to know what her statement meant when she said she didn't want to fall in love again. Although Freya and I were on the same page about not giving our hearts to the opposite sex, I guessed our bodies and feelings had suddenly betrayed us.I wanted to touch her, feel her delicate body in my hands, and then... make love t

Chapter 57Michael's POVAs I watched Freya carry the weight of her frown, a realization hit me. "What if... all I needed was comfort?" I thought deeply, my mind racing with the implications. I wouldn't want to hurt a woman like Freya. She deserved so much better.My mind suddenly shifted to Raymond and his motives. Why was he assisting me in my fight? I couldn't decipher the reason behind the pain in his eyes."Hey, I..." I started, but Freya cut me off."Aren't you supposed to set your car on fire? It's been thirty minutes past the agreed time," Freya asked, her voice filleld with anger and frustration. Her eyes blazed with a fire that made my heart skip a beat. I knew she had every reason to be angry, but maybe all I needed was a little time.Ten minutes later, my brand-new Range Rover was engulfed in flames as Freya and I watched from a distance. I could see the pain in her eyes as she gazed at the burning car. I took two steps closer to her, pulling her into an embrace, but she b

Chapter 58Michael's POVI folded my fists tightly, realizing that Raymond had just saved me. I wondered why he decided to betray Ambrose. Either way, I was going to put my life on the line to ensure everyone who stood by me was safe.Grandpa's face was filled with anger after seeing Ruby's secret message and everything that had happened on her system. "Grandpa, I don't know these men. Do not believe what they said. Besides, Jason gave you his testimony," Ambrose said with a hint of fear, looking at the two men."C'mon, Ambrose. You've gone too far this time," I cut in as Grandpa ended the call with the DPO. I wasn't glad that my brother was going to get taken by the cops, but that was the best for now."For a while, I had thought of changing my mind about the inheritance, but then..." Grandpa started."Oh no, Grandpa. You and I know Michael's the only one you want for it. But then, don't get shocked when you realize that I am right and he might be wrong. I'd prove that to everyone he

Chapter 59 Freya's POVIt's been three days since Ambrose's arrest, and I finally got the chance to hold my boy dearly in my arms. As I gently rocked Waylen to sleep, planting light kisses on his forehead, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. "I can see your love for children is unwavering," Michael said, his voice low and smooth, as he stood at the entrance of my room, watching us with a stare that made my heart skip a beat. "Don't you think you need to get yourself one?" he asked, his eyes sparkling with amusement.I froze, never expecting to see him standing there, but then, anything could happen when you leave your door wide open. "Hey," I called out, still feeling a lingering anger from the incident four days ago. Michael had already made it clear to me that I shouldn't expect more than just a contract husband. Then, I didn't think there was any reason to reveal my son's identity to him. After all, we owed each other nothing. In four months' time, everything would go back to

Chapter 60Michael's POV"I love you, Michael," I heard her say, but then I didn't want to annoy her or push her away. After everything that had happened tonight, I knew my feelings for Freya were certain. I felt every part of her body; her sweetness was something I couldn't take my mind off. As I wrapped her petite body in my arms, I didn't hesitate to tell her that I hoped these feelings would never end."Freya, I...""Don't say anything. Don't spoil this moment for me, Michael, please," she whispered, cutting me off abruptly, which somehow put a smile on my face. But then, I knew this was wrong; I mean, Freya and I weren't supposed to have feelings for each other. But then, it was impossible for anyone not to fall for a man like me. Also, Freya was irresistible.I took a deep breath, accepting the fact that I didn't want to lie to myself anymore. Emma wasn't whom I needed, and I realized that days ago during my fight with Freya. Emma was once my life and love, but everything change

Chapter 138Freya's POV"Freya, don't. I'm going to have to tell it to Michael if you do." Raymond said to me in a hushed breath. But then, there were a whole lot of people's lives at stake. And besides, the cops were never present in times like these."What on Earth do you know? Tell it to me," Michael asked fiercely, looking at Raymond's direction, whose gaze was fixed on me."Call the priest, everyone here is ready for a ceremony," Ambrose said as he moved closer to Michael, whose face was bruised, and his looks were sending fire. He said something I couldn't quite hear, and not long, I was taken away into the inner room for a quick makeup.It took less than ten minutes, and I was accompanied out by the man who had dolled me up. My mom's face was drowned with tears, and my heart was broken; but that was the only thing I could do at the moment."Wow! Look whose wife is here?" Ambrose teased as he moved towards my direction. I couldn't raise my face nor look towards Michael's directi

Chapter 137Ambrose's POV"You animal!" she fired as she struggled with my hand holding her tightly."Everyone's waiting... just say the damn yes!" My voice echoed as I dragged her towards the direction of a man who was seated quietly, holding a Bible and a cross."Reverend, bless our marriage... she said yes," I said, my voice coming out unsteadily as Freya battled with me to let her go."Let her go, Ambrose. That's enough."I turned around to see Raymond, barely on his feet with his eyes glued to mine."You, I thought my boys shut you up already?" I asked, moving closer to him as I released my grip on Freya."Surrender, Ambrose. The cops will be here and there's no way to avoid this anymore... you have to let go, Ambrose."I laughed loudly, giving him a long stare as I dragged his cheek with my left hand."You're being too nosy. This isn't your fight. Don't you dare act like you're better than I am.""Your son's watching, please..." he begged as I suddenly looked in the direction of
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again Danger zone
Chapter 136Raymond's POVThe weight of Freya's words kept taking my attention away. I closed my eyes for a while, thinking deeply about whether letting her go alone was the right thing to do. Somehow, I wondered if Jason was right about it all. I rolled my eyes, bringing myself back from the trance."You'll have a whole lot to explain to Michael. He just told me to keep Freya with me, that he was going to settle things with the officers," Jason said, his voice seeming to disrupt the awful silence that grew between us."Are you serious about what you said the other time?" I asked softly as he tried to play dumb. "Come on, Jason, you know what I'm talking about. Did Michael really come visit Freya alone and... the presents?" He nodded his head gently as I took a deep sigh."I mean... Freya had rejected the whole present, thinking it was from her mysterious husband. She even got into a fight with her mom... oh God," I said in deep regret. "But then... Michael only wanted to see her face

Chapter 135 Freya's POV"What did you say?" Raymond asked, his eyeballs suddenly widening as I took a deep breath with my eyes closed. "Wait, did you both..." He paused as I felt so shy about giving him a response. He turned around, trying to go back to Jason, as I grabbed his hand firmly, preventing him from moving."What the hell are you doing?" I asked, my voice shaking. "Of course, we need to tell it to Jason. I can't keep this from him.""What do you mean? Michael's getting married, and I really don't want this baby to... come into his marriage," I said, and somehow, I could see the resignation in his expression."You could hurt the baby, you know?" He whispered as I shook my head, trying to be strong. "I'll be fine. Just go be with Jason and wait," I said as he nodded. "Be careful," he warned before leaving as I wiped away the little tears that had plastered on my face.A few moments later, I found myself in front of a beautiful yet small house. I doubted this was where Ambros
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again So it was him
Chapter 134Freya's POVI began to shake as we drove down a lonely bush path. Raymond held my hands in assurance, but it felt like that wasn't enough. I wanted more than just that... I needed Michael's warm embrace, I needed to feel his warm breath on me whispering to me that everything would be okay."Jason," I called as he replied with his eyes still fixed on the road as he drove with his cellphone mounted in front, which guided him with the direction. "Is... is... Michael coming already?" I asked, my voice so low, but I didn't think I needed to appear like I was fine without him. "Yes, Freya... Michael's coming." I nodded as I fixed my eyes on the wristwatch again as a private number appeared again as the caller ID. I picked it up immediately, fully aware that it was Ambrose."Hey... do you really not care about your mother? How aged she is that she can't even withstand the cold on her?" he mocked as he laughed loudly while my hand shook while holding the cellphone, but I tried
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again The second woman
Chapter 133Michael's POVI couldn't stop myself from banging the laptop that was placed in front of me aggressively on the office desk, not caring about anything. The thought of seeing Freya so comfortable without me by her side, her sudden closeness with Raymond, and how she didn't even realize that I had stopped her from going out there because I still cared for her. "You're so stupid, so stupid," I muttered, closing my eyes to take a deep breath when Grandpa's call came into my phone. "Grandpa," I finally said after the third ring, as I heard him clear his throat from the receiver end. I wondered why he had called; it was always about the damn marriage."Haven't you seen the news? Where did Ambrose take the little boy and his grandmother to?" he asked, and I detected panic in his voice. "You should hurry over and do something quick," he said, as I let out a low chuckle. How on Earth did he get to know about it? "Grandpa, why do you suddenly care about the Rogers?" I asked, and

Chapter 132 The weight of my words Freya's POV "Yeah, that won't be necessary. I'm here already, and there's no way I'm going to sit back and watch you all go without me," I said, my eyes locking onto Michael's, who didn't say a word but kept his focus on Raymond. "Raymond, we need to get to Grandpa," I said, almost going closer, as Michael stepped in between. His towering height once more intimidated me as he gave me a long, piercing gaze. "I will not let you go on that road in search of them; I won't ever allow that," Michael said authoritatively, as I couldn't stop myself from laughing. "What on earth does he take me for right now?" I thought. I refused to be stupid, not to him nor Ambrose. "Dare me if you can, Mr. Michael Smith Jenkins," I said in gritted teeth as I moved closer to him, like I was daring him for a challenge. "May I have a moment with her, please?" he said softly, as the two nodded about leaving while I moved closer to Raymond, still locking eyes with him. "We

Chapter 131Freya's POV"Raymond," I called, my voice shaking as I staggered on my feet before I felt his hand holding me from falling. "Ambrose is a psychopath. We need to chase him...we need to go over to Grandpa and...""Freya, I'll do everything I can to make sure your mother and son are safe. Trust me on this," he assured as I paced around restlessly before going to check my phone, which lay motionless on the floor. "Oh, thank God. It isn't broken," I whispered, trying to call the same number as Raymond watched me with anger in his eyes. "Damn!! The number isn't going through.""We have to take this to Jason; he should find a way to track his location," he said as I paused for a while. "Will you be fine? I mean, some publication was made to show that...some..." I stammered on my words, not knowing how he was going to take it. "That I once worked with Ambrose," he said, nodding his head slowly. "It's just that...I don't want you out there for me, Raymond.""They're right. The med

Chapter 130Michael's POVI walked into my office for the first time in a while, smiling as I took a deep breath of the familiar air that greeted me. I wasted no time watering my very own plant that was placed beside my chair. Here I was, complete, as I closed my eyes for a while before retiring to the chair."Boss," Jason called as soon as he placed a knock on the door, and my expression turned sour. The word 'boss' was very foreign, hearing it from a friend I took more than a brother."Where is he? Have you found him?" I asked, my palm on my face as I took a deep breath."Have you reported the message he sent to you to the cops? I've tried tracking down the message, but somehow, I can't get any signal," he said as I stood, narrowing my eyes as I kept staring outside the window, like I could get a hint from there."And Raymond? Have you found him?""Since your release, we don't know where he is either. Somehow, dude hasn't forgiven himself about everything that had happened. He think
