Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Wife

Nathalie had expected a chaos after the arrival of Diego but surprisingly nothing happened. The silence scared her even more that she wanted to go meet him personally, but she had to stay away from that man no matter what.

“What do you mean by Lucas isn’t home?”

She was informed by the butler, who told Nathalie that master Lucas told that he would be home late at night that day.

No wonder Lucas wanted to sort out his stuff by going back home, since it were more than three months when he visited them last time. Nathalie ended the call while shaking her head and assuming that he must have gone to visit his friends.

“I should focus on my work rather than him. Nobody knows he is my husband so no harm will reach him.”

She did not want to put him in some grave danger just because he married her. No matter what he was her responsibility, well of course that’s what Nathalie thought.

It was the moment when a knock on the door snagged her attention and she felt like ripping someone’s head for disturbing her, when she had finally been able to focus.

“Yes, come in!”

She groaned but hid her irritation and permitted the person to walk inside.

A young woman walked inside holding a small box which was wrapped in a purple sheet

“Boss, someone left this for you. The parcel has no name and a random man left it to me while I was coming, he said to give it to you.”

She sounded nervous and confused at the same time, since who would bring such nameless parcel to a heiress; even after knowing that it could be dangerous.

“Okay, leave it here.”

Nathalie gestured to her and the woman left the box on the table, while Nathalie just simple overlooked it thinking that some admirer had sent that. She had gotten such nameless parcels before too and never threw them away, she kept the flowers and ate the chocolates too.

I mean who could waste food and let the flowers rot for no reason!

“I don’t know when will these people stop.”

She had no clue who was the sender and began to type on her laptop again, when her eyes caught something familiar.

“No, no!”

She pushed the chair back and shot up from the seat after seeing the ribbon on the parcel, staring at the parcel on the table a series of flashback clouded her mind.

Nathalie imminently stepped back and collided with the book rack behind her, her legs trembled and she slumped on the ground.

“This can’t be… no, no. I can’t let Diego ruin my marriage now!”

She wiped off the tears which had fallen on her cheeks and she did not even notice that, the lady mustered up the courage and walked up to the desk and with trembling hands she reached for the parcel.

“You have to be calm, Nat. He is deliberately scaring you. He knows your weakness and is taking advantage.”

Nathalie knew that there was a string between them for which she had rejected his proposal.

“I have to stop him somehow. I can’t let him leech off my fear.”

The woman became confident right after she recalled that Lucas was with her now. She opened the ribbon and gulped down her fear after seeing that, inside the box was a USB.

Nathalie had a vague hunch what it could be but she wanted to be sure of that, she played it in her laptop and her worst nightmare was dancing on the screen.

-.-.-.-.-.-

On the other side Lucas walked up to the end of the block and entered a restaurant only to exit it from the back door, so nobody could catch him. And a car with the driver waited for him on the street which drove Lucas to the Petrakis villa.

The luxurious vehicle drove through the long driveway and halted in font of a huge villa, having a resplendent outer one could imagine the wealth of the Petrakis family. Nathalie’s family was rich no doubt but they were not a match for Lucas’s lineage!

As soon as the heir entered the villa a jury of maids and man servants approached him.

“Welcome home, young master!”

No wonder their eyes were darted behind him expecting the mistress too, Lucas knew what their questioning eyes meant and nodded in a ‘no’, which made all of them sad.

He had grown up with all of them and a few servants were old , whom he called grandpa and grandma since he didn’t had his actual grandparents. That’s why he got along with old Lancaster so well.

“Lucas! My son!”

Mrs Petrakis, Cara, yelled in joy and hurriedly approached him as she wrapped the tall man’s chest in her arms. The warmth in her hug was so intense that even Lucas couldn’t bring himself to stay away from his mother anymore.

“I missed you so much, honey.”

Her voice broke within the tears on her cheeks as she held hi face in between her hands, and looked behind him expecting Nathalie. While Lucas held her both hands and squeezed them gently with a bitter smile.

“Don’t worry, she will come here soon.”

Cara wanted to meet her daughter-in-law but as Nathalie was unaware of whom she had actually married the things became difficult and delayed.

“Yeah~”

Lucas walked inside with her as Cara ordered the servants to cook the favorite meal for her son. They both scurried towards the lounge as they both talked on about his stay in the Lancaster family and how far their relationship had reached.

“Where is dad, mom?”

He didn’t find his dad home when he was supposed to spend the day with him, but before they both could eat lunch Lucas wanted to take a bath and walked towards his room.

“Ugh! Feels so good to be back home! I can do some important things here today freely without getting caught by Nathalie.”

No wonder he needed some space alone in his comfort zone to do some important stuff.
