Contract With The Billionaire

CHAAPTER TEN



Alex knew it was stupid of him to call her impulsively and ask her to leave because neither had he terminated the contract, nor he intended to do it. And she was right, he would’ve sued her if she had agreed. Call it whatever, he is a devil.

But after Mark left, he had been frustrated, and in anger, he called her because he didn’t want anyone coming in between their friendship.

In fact, he couldn’t even remember the last time he had lost his temper like this. But this woman had just entered his life four days ago and was already creating havoc. He needed to be more careful.

Sighing, he dropped his head back because he still had a long day ahead. There was a knock on the door, and he sat up, allowing the person to enter.

George entered and looked somehow nervous.

“What is it?” he asked, and George fumbled.

“Sir, ma’am Ella is here, and she’s demanding to see you,” he informed with a scared look. As expected, a tiny look of irritation was on Alex’s face.

“Fuck. Send her in,” he ordered, and George nodded before leaving. Could this day get any worse?

Ella was a well known model and had been a pain in his ass since they met at a business party.

He hated her clinging to him, and even after his stern warnings, threats, and cold responses, she continued to stick to him like a leech.

The door was thrown open, and Ella came sauntering inside with an extra sway to her hips.

She was beautiful, he would give her that, but he wasn’t sure if she was under all that makeup.

“Alex, how are you, sweetheart?” she said in a sweet voice, taking a seat without his permission.

He gave her a cold glare, but she ignored it.

“Why the fuck are you here?” he asked, obviously pissed off by her presence, and she just gave him a seductive smile.

“You know I love this side of yours. You come straight to the point, and it makes you look even sexier.” She winked, while he rolled his eyes and relaxed in his chair.

“Then you should learn that too. Now, come to the fucking point.” The insult was direct, and she sure hated it because she curled her fists under the desk but then composed herself.

She stood up and walked up to his chair seductively, and he watched her every move.

When he didn’t stop her, she made a move to sit on his lap, but at the last moment, he turned his chair, making her stumble, almost falling, but she prevented herself from falling.

“What the fuck!” she sneered, glaring at him, and he shrugged.

“I didn’t permit you to sit on my chair, yet you did. But I would’ve asked George to pull the chair as well if he had been standing right behind you.” Alex snapped.

The emptiness in his eyes was enough for her to know that he would have done that without another thought.

She was still fuming but a little shaken as well. Clenching her jaw, she looked away, trying to get her act together.

“You’re messing with the wrong person, Alex,” Ella warned him, but it had no effect on him.

Instead, he turned to her and stood up, towering over her, and she was intimidated as she unconsciously took a step back.

“And you are playing with fire.” He challenged her with his eyes, intimidating her to say anything in her defence, but she couldn’t, even if she tried to.

No one messes with Alexander Ian.

Mia stabbed the fruit as she sat on her bed, waiting for Alex to return. She is so sure that she isn’t going to sleep without clearing it out with him.

It was around eleven thirty when she heard him coming in, and without waiting for another second, she got off her bed and made her way outside.

She knocked on his door impatiently, but he still didn’t reply.

Knowing he must be taking a shower, she pushed the door open and entered inside. She went straight to the bed and sat down grumpily, waiting for him.

Twenty minutes passed, and she lost count of how many yawns she had by then. Her eyes were droopy, and she felt very sleepy, but she shook her head vigorously to keep herself awake.

What was taking him so long? Was he dancing in there?

Another ten minutes, and she found herself slowly lying on his bed. She fought hard to keep her eyes open, but at last, she let the darkness take over.

Alex came out of the bathroom after another ten minutes, and was taken aback to find Mia on his bed. He kept his towel aside and walked up to her figure.

What was she doing here when she had her own room? He tried waking her up, but she just whined softly and slept more comfortably.

Closing his eyes, he tried to control his anger and then slept on the other side of the bed. Why would he sleep on the couch when she was the one who came to his room?

And if she had any problem, then it wouldn’t be his problem.

Mia opened her eyes and smiled slightly, stretching her hands, but froze when her hand collided with something.

She slowly turned around and gasped, seeing his face so close to hers.

Oh well! He has a mole above his lips.

What? Was she checking him out? Is she crazy? Her eyes then travelled down, and her eyes widened, seeing him naked. Well, not entirely, but still. Who sleeps without a shirt on?

She sat up with a jerk and recollected why she had come to his room the previous night. She groaned, remembering she had fallen asleep waiting for him and cursed herself in her mind.

How could she fall asleep on his bed? But wait, even if she had, couldn’t he have picked her up and dropped her in her room?

Scoffing at herself for even thinking of expecting him to do such a thing, she turned and glared at his sleeping figure. Sure, he looked innocent while sleeping, but he was far from it when awake.

“Can you stop staring at me now?” she yelped, hearing his voice and jumping a little in her place.

He opened his eyes and looked at her before sitting up as well. She kept a hand on her thudding heart and then glared at him.

Alex ran a hand through his already messy hair, and it certainly caught her attention.

“Why were you sleeping on my bed?” His question brought her out of her staring session, and she gave him a blank look.

“Because of you!!!” she accused suddenly, and he said nothing.

“I was waiting for you, but you were sleeping in the bathroom. Who takes an eternity taking a shower?” she asked in an irritated tone, and he was starting to get annoyed.

“First of all, I didn’t ask you to wait for me, and secondly, this is my mansion and my room. I can take an eternity to even change my clothes.” He replied coldly, and she groaned loudly at his behaviour.

“I need to ask you why you asked me to leave.” She demanded, looking straight into his eyes, and he stared right back.

“That was just a test for you. If you had agreed and left, I would have filed a case against you.” He covered up as he stood up from the bed, and her mouth hung open at his answer.

This man was crazy.

“You are the most insane person I’ve ever met.” She gritted each word, and he stopped in his tracks.

Turning to her, he walked closer, and she didn’t budge.

“Say that again and see what I’ll do.” He whispered in her ear, and she shivered at his icy tone. He moved back, and she couldn’t miss the dangerous glint in his eyes.

“Now, if you’re done with your blabbing, let me remind you that your way of having a baby didn’t work, so get ready to do it the way it is done.” He announced and left for the bathroom while she sighed, hiding her face in her palms.

“What the hell are you doing here?” she fumed, seeing his face first thing in the morning. He grinned in return and moved past her inside.

She stood there with her mouth hung open and then, huffing, followed him inside.

Much to her annoyance, he was already having the time of his life with the kids, and the kids seemed to enjoy it as well.

Great! First Mia, and now the kids. Mark had just entered her life to take away everything she had.

“Hey Mr., You can’t keep coming here whenever you wish to,” Chloe said in an irritated tone, and he turned to her.

“Of course I can. I told you this is Mia’s place, and she has allowed me to.” He smirked, and she glared at him hard.

“You look like a kitten when you’re angry.” He flicked her nose, and that startled her.

Her mouth formed an ‘o’ as she stared at his amused face.

“You-” Before she could lash out, Mark winked at her and left to spend some time with the kids.

“Ugh.” She groaned, gritting her teeth, and closed her eyes, sighing loudly. He was surely sent just to irritate the life out of her.
