Contract Marriage by Ashleh Queen (new reading .TXT) 📖

Alex was only wearing a shirt with the first two buttons undone. He looked surprised for a second but then maintaining his composure he looked at Jane with accusation in his eyes.

"I am so sorry," Jane whispered with her head down and lips trembling. She looked up to find Alex with a confused face. And then continued. "I wasn't thinking. It wasn't meant to happen. I am sorry, Alex. I am so sorry." She choked out the last part.

"What the hell you are talking, about?" Alex growled. 
She remained silent. 
"It isn't like this, Jane. I know that you haven't done anything. You can't do this. I-I KNOW YOU. YOU CAN'T DO THIS. DID YOU FU*KING HEAR Me? So, stop lying." He whispered the last part.

Silence followed but she kept her head down. 
"Get the fu*k out of here, Daryl!" He shouted looking at Daryl. And Daryl didn't waste a single second. He got what he wanted even if his plan failed.

Walking to where she was standing he looked at her lowered head intently. He knew she was lying but why? And it didn't take much of his time to realize that she might have eavesdrop to their conversation.

Fu*k, He yelled in his brain.

"You are lying." He spoke softly but she didn't look at him. She just pressed her lips hard. She could smell a woman's scent on him making her eyes sting.

"You are lying because you heard what we were talking about." He caught her, and this made her look at him. Her breathing was a little fast and her eyes held anger and disappointment making his claims even stronger.

You aren't a liar, Jane. You can't win this little game of yours. He thought.

"I am not lying, Alex." She gritted the words with confidence. 
"Don't you dare, Jane. You will apologize for lying to me, fu*king right now." Alex growled and she did flinch a little but didn't let her stance falter.

This is when a tall woman wearing a very short skirt came into the view making Alex curse under his breath.

"Get the fu*king hell out of here." Alex bawl out making that woman shoot for her heels before getting to the door. No matter how spacious his office was their confrontation had made that space feel so suffocated.

She looked at Alex who had his cheek red with all this anger. He was beyond frustrated about his whole plan being ruined.

"I am leaving, Alex," Jane spoke the moment that woman left.

"You can't. Do you hear me? You can't leave me because I,......" She cut him off with a slap on his cheek.
"Watch me," She dared with her breathing erratic and tears in her eyes. She was about to get to the door when she felt herself being pulled and hit to a wall.

She opened her eyes to find herself caged with his left hand resting to the side of her face and the right one on her waist.

"Show me," He answered.

And this is when all his cruel ways came biting her. She all too remembered what he was capable of. Stalking, kidnapping and forcing himself. She found him coming to her mouth when she said.

"Don't touch me, Alex. Don't you dare to touch me. I promise I will kill myself." She said making his grip lose at her waist.

"Yes, Alex, death will be a far better option for me than living my life with a person like you." She spoke to his face and left.

Thinking that at any moment he will come to cage her again she walked at an even more faster pace.

Her eyes were spilling tears as she sank to the floor in the lift. Getting her hand on her mouth she cried out the tears she was trying to hold all this time. The lift stops revealing some people at the door. Not giving any mind to them she came out of the lift and left.

It was about to rain and the people were rushing to the nearby restaurants or places. Air blew her hair away from her face as she made her way out of his property. To her luck, she got a taxi the moment she was out.

"Where to?" The driver asked. 
"Just drive." She answered and looked at the building for the last time. She could feel his gaze over her. Like he could see her. All she wanted was to get away from this cheating bastard and never ever have any kind of contact with him.
