บททั้งหมดของ The CEO'S Contract Husband: บทที่ 121 - บทที่ 130

Alex’s povI waited for it as it rang over and over again, but then no one picked up the call. I wondered whether he was still mad at me or if he was genuinely not listening to his phone ring. The only problem was, he was mad at me, and I had seen him mad in the past. He tended to avoid picking up calls.“Well, if he’s not going to pick up my call, there’s no need for me to go after him,” I said to myself.I put my phone into my pocket and started towards the garage. But when I reached the door, my mother who was talking to a bartender about drinks or something of that sort turned to me. The look that she gave was different from what I expected.“Excuse me,” she said to the bartender as she walked towards me.“What are you doing?” she asked me.“I’m getting back into the gala.”“No, you’re not.” She shoved me back.“Mom, please stop it.”She pushed me back again as if she wanted to make a scene.“Mom, you’re making a scene. Look around you.”“I don’t care,” she cut me off. “You must b

Alex’s povOn a normal day, if anybody was to push me aside the way Dennis had done so, I would have turned and walked away. I would not even have looked back, because I was that guy.I was the man who walked away from people.I was the man who didn’t care who got hurt.I was the man who lived in the light while others lived in my shadows.I was the man who loved to walk in front while people ran after me.People wanted my pictures on every single magazine, every single tabloid, on CNN, MTV, you name it. I was that guy.So, having to hear all Dennis had told me and having to hear him push me aside, it brought back memories of what I had discussed with my mother back at the gala.I turned to leave.But then, when I looked into the hallway, I found my mother on call with someone. She was smiling. It was a smile that she used whenever she was talking to my dad. My mom and dad didn’t have the perfect relationship, but they tried their best. My dad was headstrong, and he would not care abo

Sophia’s povI called a meeting with my media blogs… the people that I pay… and I watched them appear while I stayed in the boardroom, going through a lot of things in my head. I wanted to bring out the best way to say this so I would have the best leverage. I needed to bring Dennis down by all means necessary.They appeared before me as I folded my arms and watched them with a smile on my face. While we were here, one of them said he had been a broadcaster for CNN before he moved to another company. Another one was a sports journalist. Another one was into lifestyle and entertainment. With the last talking about how he owned some of the best blogs in the country. I watched them brag with a smile on my face.They all worked for the highest companies in the world and also for the gossip blogs that they owned individually. I had shares in all their gossip blogs, and I was their highest investor. That meant that they were obligated to answer me whenever I called.I smiled, leaning back i

Alex’s pov“Dennis, I have to go,” I said to him.He shook his head. “Alex, I am really sorry for what happened. I didn’t plan for this to happen.”“But it did happen,” I broke off. “You can’t just hide things from me and not expect me to find out about it.”He gave a small nod. “I understand. But please, just give me another chance to make this right.”“Dennis, you tried to make it right. It escalated. You got reported. Now we have to find a way to make this all go away. And it’s even affected my shot in the company. The board… they were looking for a way to kick me out, and this is their way of doing so. I have to go over there and try to explain things to them because ever since we got married, everything is going to shit. My work. And I have to make sure that this whole thing can blow over without any of us losing our sanity.”“You know, all this could have been avoided if you had not gotten married to me.”“Dennis, don’t even start.”“I’m being serious. All this could have been a

Leticia’s pov“Paul, I just wanted to know why you’d be against us in this time when we need you more.”He laughed, pacing around a bit before walking to the window. He stayed in silence for a while thinking of what to say to me. I knew he was scheming, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. What was he even planning? “I don’t care about friendship when it comes to things that bother me.”“So you think my son Alex bothered you?”“Oh, come on, Leticia. We don’t have to go over this all over again. Let’s be honest. Alex isn’t really the role model you and Lyon are putting him out to be. Alex is more like a villain. He’s doing a lot of things that is jeopardizing the reputation of this great company. And that’s coming from me, who has stayed in this company for more than ten years. Almost twenty years, if I might say. But there are some times I’ve been on and off. And all I’m saying, Leticia, is Alex needs to be stopped. His actions are horrible. The way he’s acting, the way he’s doing thi
