Semua Bab Contractual Marriage: The billionaire's Woman : Bab 161 - Bab 170

Alexis’s POV “ It's true like I was told, you are in Switzerland, and you couldn't meet up with her.” My mother said when we were alone. I knew she would find out one way or the other, it either had to be my father or Gerald who must have told her, and all I wanted to do was get to know why exactly they would do so. “ I am.” I hated how cold my voice came out, but it was the least I could do. I didn't like it either. It wasn't like I enjoyed this, like I didn't want to meet up with her, or I had done this on purpose. “ So?” She asked. “What would you say is the reason why you haven't met with her yet? I don't get it, she is your wife.”“ Was,” I corrected.“ She is pregnant with your child. I brought you up better than this, you have to take responsibility when you knock someone up, what do you think is wrong with you, Alex?” I knew I had to, it wasn't like I was running away from it. “ I didn't say I wasn't going to do so.” I answered her. “ Then what do you think you are doin

Alexis's POV My hands ran through my hair while I peered at the monitor in front of me. I was putting everything in line for this, my relationship with Nortia and my life with my child as well. I needed to be sure that this wasn't going to go against me somehow, but how was it possible to know that? I waited for an answer from Mrs Smith, one which wasn't forthcoming, she was important in this and I had to do everything within my power to get her to agree with me. “Boss..” the door cranked open when he got in which had me swirling my head immediately. “ Have you gotten any news yet? One which can be important to us?” “First of all, the audit team has raided the Edwards corporation, and at this moment, they should be trying to get him to talk, not that they have seen anything yet, but the shell company was used in clamping down on him.”“ Is there something else?” I needed something else aside from the audit. Something worth tangible of holding onto. “Mrs. Smith might be willing t

Nortia's POVNo one told me how exactly it would be difficult and now it had me thinking back to when I had told people that it would pass causally like it was nothing. I didn't have any idea how painful it was going to be, watching both of my parents being married while you were left all alone. The hole it left in one's heart which you knew that there was no way you will ever get over it, I had no idea about that. Watching them being lowered to the earth tore my heart, my hands squeezed around my godmother who was silent just the same way I was, no one said a word. I would have skipped this if it was possible but I know that there was no way that I could, it wasn't like I had siblings who would take over as I was the only one left to look after their bodies. I swallowed, forcing down the lump which stuck adamantly even when I would do everything to get it out. “ Nortia.” I heard a voice whisper, flipping my head to the side, I turned to my mother in law who handed me a bouquet

Nortia's POV When I finally got my senses back on where exactly I was, I found myself bound to a chair, while I tried to recollect what exactly had happened in the past hours but my memories were blank. The only thing I could recall was talking to Samantha before I sauntered into the restroom where I lost consciousness. I knew somehow she had to do this, but how was I to prove that so it wouldn't look like merre allegations? Flipping my head to the sound, I listened with rapt attention for footsteps or anything aside from the constant water which dropped by my side, each drop messing with my head. I swallowed, turning to the side to get a glimpse of where I was, but it was difficult to do so. All I wanted to do was be out here, back home where ... .my baby, my hand strayed to my stomach, patting it while my heart picked up the pace, I couldn't think about the fact that anything had happened to it, could it be that I had lost it? There was no way that was possible, I shook

Nortia's POVI couldn't hold my words and I knew they must have hurt him but even at that, I couldn't care about that. He did that first, broke me beyond repair, he did what he had done while making sure that I wouldn't be able to raise a fist and the least I could do was pay him back. The jab at my chest punctured through immediately I had shut the door behind me, while listening to the whiff which sounded as though he was in tears and I was tempted to walk back in, and let him know I didn't mean all of that, but I couldn't. He had to know what it felt like as well. “ Miss, are you ready?” The doctor gazed trailed behind me at the door waiting for Alexis to step out as well when I shook my head. “ He isn't ready yet, but I would like to go ahead first.”“ You should lay on the table.”I did what he wanted, watching him as he held out his hand, running a cream on it which I wasn't so familiar with. “ I am going to do this now, you might feel a tingly sensation but you don't have
