บททั้งหมดของ The CEO'S Contract Husband: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

Dennis’s povHe was taller than me and him tilting and studying me like I was some kind of project didn’t help what I was feeling inside for him.“Alex…” I muttered as my heart betrayed me.I knew where this was going to lead to.At that moment I could have pushed him away and run. But my legs were planted on the ground. He dipped his head, his lips an inch from mine as he mulled over my refusal. “Tell me you really don’t want this and I’ll stop.” I stared at his lips, his morning scent washing over me as all the things we did last night came back to me making me want him even more.I don’t know what happened. I didn’t even form the thought. My mouth just opened, and I closed that little distance between us.Fireworks exploded in my head as his lips met mine. This wasn’t a hesitant sweet kiss at all. It was harsh and demanding… just like the man himself. His hand quickly found its way around the back of my neck, and there was no doubt it would hold me if I suddenly lost control of m

Alex’s povI sat there tapping on the menu, but I had no intention of ordering anything. I was thinking about Dennis. About how his face went when he got that call.One second he was right before me, laughing and looking over at me. Eyes crinkled up from laughter. Then the next second… nothing. His face like somebody died or something. I hated that.I hated the secrets.I thought we had gotten to a point where we could tell each other anything. Why did it feel this way?He soon returned and sat down opposite me with a smile like nothing happened. But I could tell that his smile was fake.“You okay?” I said, leaning in.“Yeah,” he said too fast. “Fine.”“Fine?” I scoffed. “That’s what we are calling what you just did?”“Alex. I’m fine. Just let it go.”“Bullshit.” I blurted which shocked him. “I’ve known you too long, Dennis. Something’s fucked up right now. Who was that?”“No one. You seriously don’t have to make a big deal about this.”“Don’t you dare gaslight me man. We have someth

Alex’s povI arrived at the restaurant and got out of the car, my driver scurrying to open the door for me. The man bowed, as he always did, as if he wasn’t just a driver but some kind of footman to a king. The guards at the entrance bowed when they caught sight of me too, bodies stiff, heads dipping forward. It’s like this wherever I show up these days… people gawking at me as if I’m something not quite human.Money has a way of making people do that. Making them stupid with reverence.I walked straight through without blinking at them. Inside, waiters stiffened the second I stepped in. They whispered to each other behind their hands. A couple at the corner stopped eating and just stared. You’d think I invented electricity or something.I was twenty something with billions in my account, sure. A billionaire at my age.But to me? It didn’t feel like enough. Nothing ever did.Then I saw her.Sophia.She was seated close to the window in a relaxed way. She had a grin that made me narrow

Dennis’s povBy the time I walked out into the hall, he was waiting outside by the car. Tapping his foot like I had taken some ridiculous amount of time instead of ten minutes. He was wearing dark jeans and a white button up with rolled up sleeves because, of course he did. He looked like he belonged in a magazine.“Finally,” he said, smirking.I gave him a side eye glare. “Personally, I would have liked to just stay in. I don’t know why I’m doing this.”He smiled. “I’m lucky for a lot of reasons.”And damn him, my heart did that stupid flutter again.He opened the door as we both got into the back and sat down as the driver took us to the place we should go to.I looked out of the window watching city lights fly by, trying not to think hard.“Pizza then what?” He finally spoke up.I shrugged. “I don’t know. Back home I guess. Hope you’re not thinking of doing anything else.”He smiled. “I’m thinking of doing a lot. But I don’t know. It doesn’t help when you’re all locked up inside.”

Lydia’s povI changed my clothes multiple times until I wearing my expensive outfit.I threw on my bag, shoved my phone in it, and made my way out. A taxi was waiting at the side. I got in, told the driver the address Sophia had texted me earlier, and reclined myself behind.While the drive seemed longer than it had to be, I held my breathing and calmed myself with every block we passed. The nearer we were getting to that neighborhood the more polished I could see this place was. This was the big man’s place. The sidewalks were too smooth. The tree's barks trimmed like they had been sculpted by artists. Cars that probably cost up to three times of how much my actual apartment costs home.I seriously didn’t belong here.The cab came to a stop outside some very large gates and I felt my stomach fall, the driver whistled low. “You sure this is the place?”“Y… yeah,” I muttered and got out as I paid him and the man drove off.Two huge guards came to me.“Who are you and what do you want?”
