The Billionaire's Contract Wife: Six Months To Leave Chapter 52
Orlena's POV.A day earlier.My eyes parted. They blinked several times. My vision suddenly blurred as I stared at the roof. A white roof. Before everything slowly started coming into place.The first thing that came into sight was the white tiles, the white walls, and the smell of antiseptic mixed with some odor that refused to go away.The beeping of a machine echoed through the room behind me.I lay still... a sharp pain jolted through my spine. I couldn't sit... I couldn't sit straight.My brain felt empty, like everything it had been housing had been packed away.My hand crept to my stomach, feeling my baby.A life was still growing inside me. A deep sigh surged through me."W... where... am I?"The question had almost left my lips when the door suddenly yanked open."You are awake... thank goodness you are awake..."She suddenly blurted out excitedly before turning and rushing through the doorway.A minute later, a woman stepped in... the stethoscope around her neck revealed her

Joan's POV“Please leave your message for Senator Macaulay,” the machine's voice bounced into my ears.I paused, pondering hard. My forehead flattened as I pressed the phone tightly between my hands.Should I drop the call? Should I leave him a message? I paused again for a moment.Then I chose. Leaving a message would be better.“Hi, Senator Macaulay, it's me, your girl, Joan…” I paused a bit. My heart rammed hard against my chest, but I forced myself under control, letting out a fake giggle. “I missed you… I wanted to say hi…”That was it. I ended the call and tossed my phone onto the center console.My other hand wrapped around the wheel, hoping, praying that he would… that he would call.We didn't part well. He wanted something more. He wanted me to be his partner.God forbid! That old hag… I was fucking born with a silver spoon. I am not some low-life street urchin. I would never be that stupid to stoop so low.I wanted to use him, the way all men needed to be used, so I could ha

Joan's POV.I blinked several times. Fear gripped my soul, climbing from my spine up into my brain and almost hitting everything in it. I straightened my back against the car I leaned on."What did you say?" I asked quickly, my eyes narrowed at his face. "I thought you..."I paused mid-sentence. Each word felt weighty, like a pebble on my lips.Silence lingered between us in the empty warehouse for a moment. I watched him reach for his cigarettes. He lit it with a strange smile tugging at the corner of his lips. The flint partially illuminated his face, and I watched a look of quiet victory settle over it, like a man who knew he had the upper hand.Damn! Fuck me! I knew I had played right into his hands.I should have been patient enough to ask more questions before I started quarrelling with him the last time he came to my office.Damn! I acted too fast. How can I be such a stupid idiot? I read his face. His body language. The cigarette hung clumsily from his lips. I knew he was re

Joan's POV"His phone?" I squeezed my brows together, then quickly relaxed them.I had forgotten I was standing in front of Greg, the train personnel who had been given the responsibility of protecting the Caldwell family.I turned my phone face down against my thigh.He saw it. He noticed that. He knew there was something I was hiding.Thank God it was my phone.I turned and pointed to the lampstand where he had left it."There..."He smiled, walked over to it, and picked it up."Thanks..."He walked toward the door and left. I heard his shoes clicking against the floor until the sound disappeared beyond the doorway, like someone running away with a secret.Whatever Greg wanted to discuss with his boss wasn't my concern. My concern right now was making sure Special Agent Mark Collins didn't have any contact with Brent.I let out a little sigh, walked to the door, and locked it.I looked at the time on my phone.7:05 a.m. sharp.I dialed the office phone.It rang, and my PA picked it

Joan's POVCalm down, Joan... Just calm the fuck down... The thought crashed into me."Don't tell me that," I snapped, shoving the thought out of my brain like a vermin sucking my blood. Like two friends who had suddenly become foes due to unresolved differences. "Danger is lurking... You don't tell me that..."I gritted my teeth. My hand curled tightly into a fist. I walked around the room like my brain was about to blow the roof off the house. Brent had just left the room. He said he was having a meeting with some investors to raise another IPO for the company's next Asia-Pacific expansion.He had stepped out of the room with Greg, who had helped him with his suitcase as usual. Recently, things have not been rosy between us. I shouldn't have challenged him a few days earlier when he got back late; I wouldn't have asked him about his whereabouts after I myself had committed the same offense the previous day, though I had my reasons. I had to clear those two bastards, Agent Smith
The Billionaire's Contract Wife: Six Months To Leave Chapter 47
Orlena's POV. I didn't want to touch the cash Mr. Chris gave me. I had hidden it under my small bed, so I could go and get it whenever I needed urgent money. The little space I had rented was safe. No one could break into my apartment here.I slipped my feet into my shoes, which had grown a bit tight now because my feet had started swelling. I was in my second trimester, and my body was changing in ways I was still learning to accept.I stepped out of the house. For the first time in a long time, I could feel something like freedom, fresh and clean, the kind that comes from finally slipping out of the grip of Joan and the Caldwell family.I walked down the road just like everyone else. Cars and small buses passed me by. This was a quiet town in Alaska, a place that fit my budget perfectly. After buying groceries, I wanted to look around. Maybe I could find something, a supermarket that needed an extra hand, a shop with an opening, some kind of vacancy nearby that I could start wit

Brent's POV."He died? How? When?"The words erupted from my lips.Like a thunderstorm parting the sea, my breath shattered.My lips parted, and I couldn't close them.My knees ached and denied me the ability to stand properly.I quickly located the empty chair I had left behind. I gripped the back

Orleana's POV“Greg!”The door suddenly slammed shut behind me, making the door vibrate on its hinges. Then came the turning of the key locks.“Please wait, Greg!” I called out. My voice came out blunt and weak, like a dull knife that had been used for years.Greg didn't wait; he didn't listen to m

Orlena’s POV Joan twisted her lips. Her face curled into something that felt like a mere performance. The air in the room stood still. I watched her walk past me like I was a piece of furniture. Like the six years I had spent with Brent and taking care of Eli meant nothing. She handed one pape

Orlena’s POV. “Little gift?” The word parted my lips, “I think you're mixing it up somewhere.” I let out a hard smile. The sound came out brittle, like I was crushing a dry leaf under my foot. “Was I?” “Yeah,” I replied, nodding. At this time, the smile had dissolved into something I coul
