All Chapters of The CEO'S Contract Husband: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Alex’s povI looked to my side and saw that the time was around seven o’clock. I took in a deep breath and looked at Dennis, who was seated on the bed, staring into space. I wanted to console him, but I had nothing to say to him. He would be pissed already. He was already pissed, what was I saying?I went to stand before him. “We need to go.”He looked up to me, his eyes red with anger. “I’m guessing you’re not changing your mind about me going to meet my mother in the hospital?”I sighed. “Dennis, we don’t have to do this again.”He got to his feet to look at me with a sharp look. “This is all you. You want us to go to your gala? No problem. I guess my mother can just wake up in a strange hospital with her son missing.”I sighed, rubbing my temple with my left hand. “Look…” I took in a slow sigh and then continued. “How about we just let this whole thing go? When we’re done, you can see her tomorrow. I promise you.”He smiled. “You promise me? How about I promise you that after I go

Dennis’s povThe limo stopped at the entrance to the venue as I laid back in my seat, wondering how my life would be after tonight. Looking out the window i noticed the paparazzi all taking pictures. This was going to be one rough night. I couldn’t stop thinking about my mother, who was laying right there in the hospital bed, probably being prepped for her surgery that would happen in the next one hour. I looked across from where I was sitting, and there he was, staring right back at me.“What?” I said in a cold voice.He gave me a small smile, his eyes tingling.“You look handsome.”I scoffed. “Is that a way to win my affection? By giving me compliments?”He leaned forward in his seat. “Please, just for tonight, let’s not fight.” “A little bit too late for that, Alex,” it came out sharper than I wanted as I looked away. “It’s a bit too late.”The driver knocked on the partition glass, that was our cue to leave. He got out of the car, went around to open our door as Alex got out

Alex’s povI looked up to see Sophia standing beside me. She was garbed in an impressive garment… if I should say so myself, and she looked like she was prepared for this party. I tried my best to look away as she sat beside me.“Can I join you for a moment?” she asked.A scoff left my lips. “It’s not like you need me to tell you not to do anything. Might as well just do what you want to do.”“Alex, please. I’m not here to fight.”“Well, I’m not here to argue with you. I just want a drink.”She nodded, looking around. “Nice party.”“It’s barely begun.”“What’s wrong with you anyway? You’re being aggressive towards me like I’ve done something to you, but I haven’t. All I’ve done is show up and try to be a friend to you, and you’re just being aggressive towards me.”I turned to her. “I know what you’re doing, Sophia. This whole thing that you’re trying to make work is not going to work. It’s not happening. You hear me? Trust me, it’s not happening.”She scoffed, then looked at her hands

Sophia’s pov“I want Alex,” I finally said. And she gave a nod.“Then what are we waiting for? We go in there, and then we take Alex, and we separate him from Dennis. Marcus and Julian… they will talk to Dennis and make sure he regrets being here. While you talk to Alex, try to see him and make him remember the past. You guys had past times, right? Romantic ones, if I might say.”I nodded. “Yes, we did.”She smiled. “Good. Make him remember that. Don’t stop until his memory comes back, because it’s very important to hit him where it counts. Very low. Don’t hold back. Tell him straight up how you feel. Tell him how this is destroying the relationship you people had. And make sure he understands that without you, his life is going to go to shambles. “Don’t stop. In case that doesn’t work, go business. Talk about how your companies would thrive together; how your father has put in a lot of money into his father’s business. Because without your investment, it’s nothing. Try to talk to hi

Alex’s pov“I get it. But you see, I can’t do it on my own. And that’s where you come in. You know more about these things than I do. You know the loopholes. You know where to fix things.”I scoffed. “I’m the same person you called incompetent the other day.”“Yeah, well, I was angry. I call everybody incompetent. I mean, the waiter over there looks like he’s going to get hammered tonight because he thinks his life is miserable. And look, there… over there, the security guard. He looks like he’s about to let in a couple of robbers into his room. I wouldn’t blame him if I was in a room with people far better than I am. I would want to do something dangerous to the people in this room.”I took in deep breaths. I looked at my father. He was fidgeting. He was nervous.“Fine, I’ll do your stupid meeting. Where are they?”“Over there.”But before I could go over, Dennis came to me.“Alex, we need to talk.”I looked at him. “Not now, I’m in the middle of something.”He shook his head. “Now.”
