Lahat ng Kabanata ng Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman : Kabanata 111 - Kabanata 120

Nortia's POV I had a hand clasped around my mouth while I tried to get their consent which wasn't going to be easy. I had done a lot of convincing, most of which hadn't seemed practical but they had all listened with rapt attention, while I spoke.They threw glances at each other, waiting for one of them to speak up while my hand laced each other, my mouth zipped shut. I knew it was going to be difficult but I had never expected that it would have me this way, damn it. “ So in essence, what you want right now is for every single one of us to stand by you while you are bringing this up?” His voice came out firm, not the least shaken. “I am hoping that you all will know what is best for the company, we all know what is going to happen if this continues, which is…”“ Bankruptcy” another said, tearing his gaze away. At least he had a bitter look which showed he was by my side and that gave me hope. “ Which we all can't afford, we have put so much in the company like you said and it w

Alexis’s POVContrary to what I had been expecting, the air was cold, devoid of the celebration I had expected. I knew everything had worked to my wife's advantage so she was supposed to be glad and not gazing out, looking outside the endless field which laid to the greenery outside. My hand settled on her shoulders, jolting her up in an instance, draping my suit jacket over her when I noticed the goosebumps on her arms. I waited for her to recognize me when her eyes lit up before she murmured. “ You are back” her voice lacked the usual enthusiasm it usually had, giving off the fact that something was wrong. “ What's wrong?” I questioned, forcing her to take a look at me. She shook her head, not giving an answer but I wasn't convinced because I could see it, glaring so hard at me. “There’s nothing wrong, when did you get back? I didn't hear you when you walked in”“ That was because you were deep in thought. What have you that way, you got them on your side,didn't you? Also, your

Alexis's POV She was gone before I could hold onto her. When she dropped by the bodies, clinging onto them with everything in her, I knew I wasn't going to have the same Nortia ever again. I waited, for her to shed those tears but they weren't dropping, my heart tightened.Those tears had to run down, it was way better than locking them in there. It would be worse if she didn't at all. I watched her sniff before standing up,staring blankly at me. “ I want them cremated, and their ashes poured in the river”“Nortia, you cant” I resisted “You wouldn't be able to pay your respect to them anymore” “I believe I got an invite to my uncle's part, his inauguration ceremony,’’“Nortia…” That was out of it, she couldn't go there knowing fully well that there might be a possibility of her uncle having a hand in her parents death. She wasn't safe in there. “You aren't thinking properly right now. From ordering that your parents be cremated to throwing their ashes in the river, then atten

Alexis’s POV Overlooking the window of my office, I tried so hard not to think about going back home. Just in months of being with her, it just dawned on me how much I wanted her around me at all times, and I was certain that just having her close to me would make my troubles go away. But what about the fact that she wanted me out? Was I just going to stand put and let her do that? I knew I promised her space, I had done so but that would be until I was sure I had to be out of there completely. The door creaking had me flipping my head around in an instant as I stared at it. “ Gerald, what's the problem?” The sky had inked with a dash of black flung across it and the look in his eyes told me what he was here to say before he could say the words. “ She doesn't want me with her,” I explained. “ She wants me out of the house, her parents death must have broken her so bad that she had no option and I understand”A sigh left his throat, hands on his waist. “So are you going to stay he

Alexis's POV I had resorted to my penthouse which I had left unattended to for months now since I got married to Nortia, where I had thought I wouldn't be back to for a while but it seemed I had been wrong. A part of me was glad at the fact that I have decided against selling it out, even when the offer had been tempting, the housekeeper had tended to it just like I had expected and even when it was so different from where I had known to be home, it was a convenient choice. *******************The chirping of the bird against the windowpane had me up in an instant, stretching my hand to the alarm clock, a hiss slipped out of my lips when I saw it was broken, yet another thing that had gone unnoticed by me which was something I wasn't known to be. I was far from being careless and that was exactly what I was exhibiting. My phone dinged, a barrage of messages splurged through, grasping it to myself my eyes ran through each one of them, hoping that I would get one from the woman I lo
