All Chapters of The CEO'S Contract Husband: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Dennis’s povThe moment I got into the house, I slowly closed the door behind me. I leaned against it and took in deep breaths before hearing the silence in the house.The maids and butler were not home. That was good news.I needed to be on my own for a while anyway. This was all I needed.It then hit me that my mother was on her way to a full recovery. That was good news. Finally she was going to be healthy and would be able to get home.First phase of her surgery was a success. That was huge. Having to pray and wish for more success for her health was not the hard part. It was the waiting that was hard. I didn’t want to hear anything about complications. Right now she was the only family I had left.That made me think of Lydia and how she had gone ahead to run my life. How could she do this to me? I thought we had a deal.I sighed.That was something that I could not control anymore. Lydia had made sure of that herself when she had decided to fuck me over by exposing herself to th

Alex’s povI drove to the restaurant where Mark should be. When I got in, I saw him seated there alone, eating. It was the family restaurant… his family’s restaurant. They had been using this place to make a living for years, sometimes illegal without them knowing, but due to Mark’s association with powerful people like me, well, let’s just say we had him covered. He was out of the police radar. None of them would ever do anything to come close to this place, knowing they would be dealing with we billionaires… especially me.I was the one who kept the cops on my payroll to make sure that Mark was still indebted to me. I could remember the last time we spoke… it was when he had almost been arrested. They had found so much evidence to put him behind bars for more than twenty years, but due to my connections with the force and the media, I spun the narrative. I made him look like the hero instead of the villain, and he got off with community service.So now, he was serving that communit

Alex’s povI got into the boardroom that morning to see only Paul standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows. He turned to see me as he frowned.“I heard there is a board meeting today,” I said to him as he stared at me for a while before chuckling, then removing his hands from his pockets to rub them together like the greedy fool he was.“You’re not supposed to be here Alex. You know that.”“It’s my father’s company,” i blurred out. “I can be wherever I want.”“Well, with the way you’re running it, might as well be the company of fools. Because from where I’m standing, you have single-handedly destroyed your father’s legacy.”I scoffed. “I didn’t destroy anything. I had a moment of weakness, and sure, some of the things that I have done, it might be disturbing, but I wouldn’t call it a moment of destruction or say that I’ve destroyed my father’s company. It’s still intact, it’s still growing.”He nodded while looking away from me. “You have a tendency of destroying whatever comes to yo

Sophia’s povI called for a meeting as my reporters, who I keep on the payroll, appeared and I looked at all of them with very narrow eyes. I was pissed. I was hungry for news and they were not giving me what I wanted. I folded my arms and I frowned.“I’ve been waiting here for something. Anything that you can give me and I haven’t seen anything. Right now I am both pissed and I am angry and I am wishing you guys can at least come up with some sort of story that would turn this whole thing to a favor for me.”They all exchanged looks before turning to me.“Ms. Sophia, we are trying our best, but at this moment in time we need to verify the sources. We’ve already thrown what we can out there. The wolves are snatching, the sharks are out there biting, and major news apart from our own companies have picked them up, but we still need more things to throw out there. The pregnancy stuff was supposed to be the final battle. We can’t just let this go. We are very close to destroying whatever

Sophia’s povWe ate silently as soon enough we started to talk about random things.“So, how’s your mother been?”I scoffed. “You would actually know about how Mom is doing if you’d actually come home.”He stopped cutting his steak as he looked at me. “We don’t have to do this you know.”“It’s fine. No need to bother about it.”“I will come home,” he said finally, dropping his utensils noisily as they clattered on the plate. Then he took up his drink to have a sip before dropping it down in a rough manner, which had it sloshing over the table.“Dad,” I said, “it’s fine. You don’t have to go through all this theatrics.”“I’m doing every single thing I can for you, Sophia. I wish you could understand that.”“And I do,” I interjected. “I really thank you for all you’re doing but the last time I saw you was five years ago. Do you even know how old I am?”He gave a small sigh. “I’ve been keeping tabs on you…”“It’s not what I meant.”He sighed. “If it’s okay with you I’ll meet your mother
