Maybelline Walter POV"Grrrrr! Grrrrr!" Came the blaring sound of my alarm that jolted me out of my deep sleep, and I tossed on the bed tiredly. I was so tired that I wanted nothing at that moment more than to stay glued to the bed all day and sleep my ass off, but I had to get off the bed and make breakfast since Adelie was gone for a while.It was supposed to be a beautiful Monday morning, but nothing felt beautiful. Not when I had to wake up so early.I couldn't help the smile that laced up my lips as I rubbed my hand on my stomach after I sat up on the bed. "Good morning morning, sweetheart. Did you sleep well?" I whispered to the little one as I smiled heartily before I left the bed to go to the bathroom.It was past 6am by the time I was done with everything, so I left for the kitchen to make breakfast.However, the aroma that welcomed me as I arrived at the living room had me asking myself who could be in the kitchen. Giving in to my curiosity, I went into the kitchen, and ala

Miles glanced at May for the umpteenth time, unable to concentrate on work no matter how much he tried to. Having this woman around him had become a therapy he never knew he needed all these years. She was everything cute, his peace of mind lies in her. She was everything he ever wanted in a woman."Am I just going to sit here and do nothing?" May asked, pulling him back to reality, and he turned his face away."Yes. You can take a walk around if you become bored," He replied to her, and she briefly sighed. This was no different from staying in that boring house all day."You don't have any files you want to sort out?" She asked as she stood from the sofa where she was seated, and went to sit on the chair across from him."I can help with that," She further said."No, I don't. If you are bored, you can take a walk around the company," He replied to her, and she nodded. Silence crept into the atmosphere and Miles was busy working that he didn't spare her a glance. He was doing his bes

Maybelline Walter POV I glared hard at Miles and scoffed silently for the umpteenth time. How could he act like nothing happened? "I shouldn't have come here in the first place," I mumbled and rolled my eyes sarcastically. He was so engrossed in his computer like it meant the whole world to him. Wait! Miles really prioritized his work over every other thing, so it meant the whole world to him, apparently."Are you ok?" He asked when he looked in my direction and our eyes met."I'm fine," I replied to him bluntly and turned my face away, and I heard him sigh."Is it about what happened earlier?" He asked as he turned his full attention to me this time."What? That? No... I'm fine," I tried to be fine even though my tone was evidence that I was not fine."Hmm," I had expected him to try to convince me to talk to him, but I was disappointed when he just nodded his head and turned back to what he was doing."You really expect too much from this guy. He is not that nice person. He is not

Lily was so impressed with the lady staring right back at her from the mirror. It was her reflection."I think this is perfect," She muttered as she smacked her lips together after she applied lip gloss. It wasn't her first day resuming work at the hospital, but Miguel was around now and she couldn't afford to look like a mess when going to see her."One more thing," She muttered when she recalled she hadn't worn her perfume yet. Just as she reached for her perfume, her phone started ringing, so she went for her phone first. It was one of her colleagues calling her."Why the disturb this early morning?" She rolled her eyes after she answered the call."Lily, there is an emergency at the hospital. You need to hurry down here to assist Doctor Miguel," Came her colleague's masculine voice."Alright. I'll be there shortly," The call disconnected afterward. Lily didn't have time to spray her perfume again because the life of the patient at the hospital was more important than any other thi

Maybelline Walter POVMy phone rang and when I checked the caller, I realized it was my sweetheart. "Hey, babe. I'll be there with you shortly," I said to Lily on the phone, but her scoff greeted me instead."Don't keep me waiting," She said coldly and the call disconnected immediately.Just one last glance at my reflection in the mirror was all I needed before I left my room and headed outside to meet her. She was leaning against her white jeep outside the gate with a deep frown on her face."What's with that frown? Are you not happy to be here?" I teased her, and she scoffed."You of all people should know that I'm not happy to be here. For goodness sake, why are you married and yet not allowing me to find a man for myself?" She rolled her eyes as she pulled the car door open."Point of correction, I'm not married for real. We are contracted couples," I argued with her."Don't forget you are carrying his child," She reminded me as I hopped inside the car, and I scoffed sarcasticall

Maybelline Walter POV"Liam!" I called surprisingly after I straightened my back and took a step away from him."May?" He called again with a shocked expression on his face. I guess he was as shocked as I was. Liam and I were classmates back in college. We were not just regular classmates, but quite close that you could call us friends. I had a secret crush on him. I mean, who wouldn't crush on the most handsome dude in the whole college?During our third year in college, Liam won an award in school as the most handsome and neatly dressed dude in school. You can imagine the amount of hate and love it must've brought him then, yeah? His handsome face and sharp brain was the only thing he needed to attract ladies to himself and of course, I was not an exemption then, but I had to hold back because he was in a relationship then. We haven't seen each other since graduation from college, and, shockingly, we bumped into each other here."Wow! This is..." He paused and scanned me with his ey

Chapter 27"Thank you for going out with me," Lily said shyly as she sat beside Miguel on a long bench. It was a beautiful cozy night. The gentle breeze slowly swayed Lily's hair as she stared into space. The atmosphere felt awkward. The bold Lily that had seduced Miguel earlier, was seated beside him now, being all shy and jelly. Was she not the same person?"So..." Miguel began, but paused and just shrugged as he had nothing to say. He couldn't come up with anything. The atmosphere wasn't favorable. His heart kept thumping hard against his chest."Wait... I think it's going to snow today," Lily gasped sharply as she stared at the screen of her phone with her eyes widened in shock, and Miguel looked at her."I think we should go home before it starts then. It's going to get cold out here and I didn't bring a coat outside," Miguel suggested, but Lily quickly shook her head."Let's watch the snow together," She demanded, and he gave her a long blank stare before he turned his face away
Dear Contract Wife, You Are Mine 28
Maybelline Walter POVI tossed on the bed for the umpteenth time, unable to sleep no matter how I forced myself to. It was already past 11pm and I was supposed to have been asleep by now, but the incident from earlier kept replaying in my head every time and I couldn't help myself.Why was he like that? I asked myself the same question yet again, but couldn't come up with the possible reason he was like that."Maybe he's in love with you," a part of me had that thought, but I was quick to dismiss the thought because I was sure that it was the last thing that could happen. No way Miles could be in love with me.Twenty minutes passed before my eyes finally became heavy, and I didn't try to fight the sleep as I had been waiting for it almost all day. I didn't sleep for long before my hurting stomach jolted me out of my deep sleep, and I tiredly sat up on the bed. My stomach grumbled, reminding me that I didn't have dinner earlier before I slept off. I just went straight to my room when
