The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again The bracelet's secret
Chapter 74Freya's POVI had received the message from Ambrose that my mom had regained her consciousness. I closed my eyes in shame after Ambrose ended the call. If only Michael had given me an audience. But then, he even had to go as far as placing a strict order never to let me find a decent job. But then, I still needed to do everything possible right here in Ambrose's apartment.As I walked down the hallway, one of the cooks from his mansion approached me. "You've been lurking around the premises. Boss said you leave immediately you're done with your duties."I cursed her from within, feeling a surge of anger. "I'm... waiting for my son to...""He doesn't even recognize you as his mother. You should be ashamed of yourself as a mother. How dare you run back to the boss the moment Mr. Michael discarded you?" She asked rhetorically, her voice dripping with disdain.I snapped, my anger boiling over. "I don't think I owe you any explanation." I turned to walk away, but she grabbed my

Chapter 75 Freya's POVIt had been two weeks since I discovered the Jenkins' bracelet in my mother's possession, but I couldn't quite figure out the connections between my mom and the bracelet. My secret investigation to find out about Waylen's mysterious friend was still futile, as I wasn't given the freedom to move around in Ambrose's home.I had finished the day's duty, and I had received a message from Jason the previous day. I still had two hours to go before I could see him. Somehow, I felt a surge of excitement at the thought of seeing one of Michael's allies again.Just as I was about to stop a taxi, I was suddenly grabbed forcefully and dragged into a big black car. "Let go of me!" I fired, biting one of them on the arm, but they didn't even flinch."Please, I have a son!" I wept, trying to call their attention, but it fell on deaf ears. Fear was evident on my face as I realized the gravity of the situation."We're not going to hurt you. We're just following orders," one of

Chapter 76Michael's POV"Boss, be nice to her." Jason's voice came out like a warning as he placed his right hand on my shoulder, tapping it gently. I closed my eyes for a second, unsure of how to respond. I didn't know what to say.I watched Jason exit my office, my back still against the door, my full concentration outside the window, watching the first snowfall of the year as it fell gently on the tarred road. The delicate flakes danced in the air, a serene sight that contrasted with the turmoil brewing inside me.Not long after, the sound of the door creaking open broke the silence. My heart suddenly began to rise, pounding in my chest like a drum. I didn't know I could still feel the beating of my heart after everything Freya had done to hurt me."Come in," I said in a baritone voice, my face still fixed outside the window. I acted like I didn't care, filled with charisma, but inside, I was dying of fear and shyness. I suddenly felt like a teenage boy who couldn't stand in front

Chapter 77Bella's POVI could feel my bones crushing hardly, my head banging as my eyes could barely see what was coming in front of me. "No!" I screamed, my legs stuck onto the vehicle; the only thing I could feel around me. "Now that you're alive, which isn't part of the plan, I'll make sure to use it well," was what I could hear amidst the darkness and blurry face of the person in front of me. But I knew he was dangerous, and I was so scared.Then, suddenly, a loud scream escaped my mouth as Ambrose hurriedly ran over to me, cuddling me tightly. "Hey, hey... you're safe now. Did you have another nightmare again?" he asked, his voice filled with concern, as I nodded my head continuously. I was so scared, my heart still racing from the nightmare.I was scared of everything around me, and the little room I was placed in felt suffocating. I couldn't bear the fact that everyone had abandoned me. Ambrose was the only one who cared for me. It shattered my heart into pieces, thinking that

Chapter 78Freya's POVMy attention was fixed outside the window, which was packed with Ambrose's car. I began to wonder why he had decided to come over to my apartment. The last time I checked, I didn't think I had invited him."Freya, my beautiful Freya Rogers," he called from outside, a mocking tone evident in his voice. Right from when we dated, he never called me sweet names."I don't appreciate you coming over to my home and shouting my name. You could get arrested by the neighbors," I warned a few moments later as I walked slowly out. Now, we were meters apart as he smiled, a smile I had once begged for in the last three years. But now, it was meaningless to me. The whole of the Jenkins family was meaningless to me, and I didn't care about them anymore."I came to get you," he said, as I hissed, about to turn my back and leave, when I felt his hand holding onto my arm tightly. I tried to break free, giving him an angry look, but I was so pissed to watch him smiling like nothing

Chapter 79Michael's POVI watched in shock as Ambrose's lips locked with Freya's, and for a moment, I felt like disappearing into thin air. To think that Freya not only used me to make him jealous but also rode with him to Grandpa's home. She had been spending time with him, and who knows why she was also invited here. She had already told Ambrose about our divorce case.I closed my eyes, trying to reflect on how she had made a fool out of me. How she had used me to make Ambrose jealous, and now, they were sharing a kiss right beside me."How dare you?" I heard her say, raising her hand to hit Ambrose's face, who held it, looking deep into her eyes. My subconscious self wanted to make a move, drag Ambrose's hand away from her, and give him a hard punch. But then, I reminded myself that it was their problem, not mine. Freya only acted this way so she could feel less embarrassed."Oh, now you don't want to kiss me anymore because Michael's here? He's my little brother; he shouldn't ste

Chapter 80Raymond's POVI couldn't shake off the words of the woman at the airport as I lay my head softly on my bed. "I'm sorry, Mister Raymond, there was no record of any Mr. Ambrose Jenkins boarding our plane on that time five years ago."My mind was racing with questions. If Ambrose didn't board the plane that day, where was he, and where did he probably disappear to? He began to reach out to me a few months after Bella's death. As much as Ambrose had told me a lot of things alongside knowing a lot about him, he had never told me everything that went wrong on that day.Had I made a mistake in revealing my anger to him too soon? I began to ponder these thoughts when I heard the ringing of my phone. I had promised to end the call if it had anything to do with the debts I was owing. But then, it happened to be Ambrose, and a smile formed on my lips. Maybe I could use this moment to do what I had in mind."Hey, you bloody fool. Come get me out here. I'm at your home," he said, his vo

Chapter 81Raymond's POVThe familiar scent of Michael's apartment greeted me, and I realized that ever since Alexis and I were driven from his home, this was the first time I was visiting. I had always seen him at his office.As I walked a few steps over to make my presence known to him, the door of his room opened, and together with him was Jason, his lookalike best friend. Jason could pass for Michael's brother rather than Ambrose."Hi, Michael?" I greeted, trying my best to appear as normal as I could. I was tense; I had no intentions of giving anyone my full loyalty, especially Ambrose. I began to think of how I would make this decision of mine a wise move. I wouldn't want to do anything to appear suspicious in Michael's eyes, at least, he appreciated my effort."Hey, get over here, let's talk," Michael said to me as he walked ahead of us, going over to one of the empty rooms I had never visited. The door creaked open as Michael walked in first. I could see a big black box as I w

Chapter 140Freya's POV.....Twenty minutes laterRaymond's death felt like the end had come. I couldn't imagine watching the ever-energetic man lying motionless and lifeless with no breath in him. It felt like he was trying to say a word to me when I saw his hand suddenly sliding from my face. "Raymond," I wept slowly, never knowing that I would one day cry for a person like him."My child..." I heard my mom's tender voice as I looked beside her, not finding anyone. "Where's Waylen?" I panicked, my eyes scanning around her and even to the person behind her. "He just fell asleep. He's been taken to his grandpa's home and..." "Mother... we are all leaving as soon as Raymond's funeral arrangement has been made. I wouldn't want my son having anything to do with the Jenkins or the Smiths," I said, my tone measured and cold.Mum wanted to speak but was cut short by the mortuary attendant who came out with some things I couldn't even relate to; it wasn't my fault, I'd never had any reason t

Chapter 139Michael's POVEven as I felt the pain from the shot on my feet, it wasn't comparable to how I felt when Ambrose had taken possession of Freya. A lot of questions kept popping up in my head as I couldn't stop wondering why Freya had held her stomach. But then, my priority was to save her and everyone who had come along with me.When the gate exploded and the cops went in, I knew this would be the greatest opportunity to seize everything Ambrose had held. This was us winning, this was us leaving him to his miserable fate. But then, it wasn't the case here after the gunshot."Nooooo!!!" Freya screamed as a part of me went down immediately. The other person who had assisted me in standing had been shot and was lying in a pool of blood."Drop the gun now or I'll shoot!" Ambrose still threatened, pointing the gun towards one of the cops who didn't slack in his work. As he shot Ambrose's gun, it fell, falling from his hand. But then, I was just too scared to look back at the pers

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

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

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
