105: Mrs McKenna
The couple were about stepping into Tech Valley when Kelvin received a call. Leila pecked him and walked further into the building alone. The elevator opened and Leila’s humming died down. It was not empty. Leila offered Mike a smile and he waved awkwardly, moving to the other end of the elevator. She gripped her bag, lips pursed as the elevator began its ascent.
The silence was suffocating. She felt Mike’s eyes on her a couple times but said nothing. When she couldn’t take it any longer, she snapped. “What is it?”
Mike jumped back. “Nothing. Nothing ma.”
“Ma?” she queried.
“Sorry. I mean, Mrs McKenna.” He knew. How did he know? But she didn’t voice out the question. Mike swiped his palms over his trousers. “My apologies.”
Leila drew out a breath through her lips, she offered him a tight smile and marched out of the elevator as soon as it stopped at her

His Contract Wife 106: Call you back
Kelvin was fussing over Leila and it was beginning to annoy her. His arm flexed as he placed the empty plate she had been fed from on the dresser. He caught her staring and winked. Something coiled in her belly and she looked away before she jumped her husband.His attention returned to her when he noticed her forlorn expression and she swatted his hand reaching for her forehead. He was enjoying this too much.“Are you alright?”“I said I’m fine, Kev,” she snapped. Closing her eyes, her chest heaved as she let out a breath. He should be at work but he was here hovering over her like a mother eagle. It was just a little cramping. She would be okay. She managed a small smile and huddled closer to her husband. “I’m sorry for raising my voice. I’m fine.”“You don’t look fine to me,” he mumbled but he didn’t touch any part of her face again. “You look sick.&rd
His Contract Wife 107: I need you
Kelvin was missing his wife. He had stopped himself from calling her so many times but with each passing second, it became harder. He wanted to be with her every second of the day and he didn’t care how creepy or obsessive it sounded.Amara was still trying to brief him about the meeting they would be having in a few minutes. He should pay attention as this meeting would be big but he couldn’t shake off the bad feeling that settled over him.Was Leila okay?“Sir?” He looked up to his assistant. She had dropped the files to the table and was no longer reading from her tab. The details on her tab were the same on his but he had stopped paying attention long ago. He leaned back into his seat, hands running over the armrest. “Should I come back later? You seem…”“Distracted?” he finished for her. Amara didn’t reply. “Yeah. I think you should. In about… ten minutes. I n
His Contract Wife 108: For better, for worse
Kelvin eased the car into the house. He smiled a little at his sleeping wife. She was exhausted. As quietly as possible, he got out of the car and swept her into his arms. Her eyes opened, she stared at him in confusion for a full minute, then claimed his lips in a brutal kiss.He had no problem with being her venting toy. As long as it would make her feel better. His footsteps were unhurried and his dick gave a small jerk each time Leila feasted on his neck. She could get extremely horny during her period but there was no release.Already in the room, he set her down on her feet. She didn’t let go, her ear pressed to his chest and his heart drummed in trepidation.Moments later, she looked up. Tears gathered in her eyes and he rubbed the back of his hand against her cheek. “It’s okay, baby. She will be fine. I promise.”“Are you sure?”Kelvin swallowed. “Yes.” Wiping the under of he
His Contract Wife 109: Three possibilities
There was no improvement yet. The doctor confirmed Kelvin’s mother-in-law’s vitals were under control but she needed to stay in the hospital for a few more days.Kelvin watched his wife from the door. Leila had not moved from that position since she came in from work a while ago. She lifted her head only when she wanted to find a comfortable spot.Her hands remained on her mother’s feet and she rested her head on the bed. His mother-in-law’s bruises had faded but the questions remained unanswered. Neil was working on it. They had gone through the CCTV camera of his apartment but it wasn’t helpful.Minutes passed and he flexed his fingers. The meeting Amara handled for him had been a success but he had to look through their conclusion in preparation for the next meeting. He knew better than to interrupt Leila but night had already fallen. They needed to leave.“Leila,” he called out to her b
His Contract Wife 110: Awake
Her mother was awake. Leila glared at Kelvin as he continued buttoning up his shirt without any urgency. The same urgency he lacked when they were having breakfast. Her idea of breakfast in bed as gratitude for his continuous support went up in flames once Leila knew the caller.They had to get to the hospital immediately.Why was he so calm about it? She slapped his hands off his shirt and finished up the buttons in seconds.“Can we go now?”Kelvin caged her between himself and the wall of the closet. His brows knit and she couldn’t resist the need to smoothen them.“The doctor told us to come later. Your mum is not stable enough to entertain visitors right now. I want us to be there but we have to wait.”“That’s bullshit, Kev.”“It’s not and you know it.” His breath caressed her neck and she pushed him back. Kelvin said nothing abou
His Contract Wife 111: Who are you?
“Excuse me?” Leila blurted out.“Who are you?” her mother repeated. Her eyes raked over Leila as confusion spread across her face. Leila’s heart beat so fast she was surprised it didn’t tear a hole out of her chest. “You don’t look like any of the nurses.” Her mother cast Kelvin a worried glance and shook her head. “Neither does this young man. Do I know both of you? Sir? Ma’am?”Once the words were out of her mother’s lips, Leila felt the air in her lungs escape. She didn’t remember moving but she found herself in Kelvin’s arms. They were in the corridor. He was saying something to her, his lips were moving but she didn’t hear one word he said. Her throat seemed to be closing up. She placed a hand over her chest, willing herself to calm down.But it didn’t work. It wasn’t working.Her mother didn’t remember her.
His Contract Wife 112: Too many things
The man was saying too many things at once. Kelvin didn’t like him. He wished Neil was here instead but his friend had to travel so he had assigned this case to one of his best officers. Kelvin sized the police officer.Size wise, it didn’t look like Noah could do much damage to a criminal but Neil assured him he was small and mighty. Kelvin darted another look at the elevator. His wife was waiting for him upstairs. She didn’t know he was meeting up with officers on her behalf.“Let me get this straight, Noah,” Kelvin started. The information he received from Noah played around in his head in a continuous loop. “Mr Collins came to you. You didn’t find him yourself, yeah?”“Yeah,” Noah agreed.“Then what happened?”“He came to file a missing person report. The name was familiar because Neil already told us about this case.” The man’s bea
His Contract Wife 113: Sisters
Freya was at the reception when Leila walked in. She watched her friend describe her and Kelvin to the nurse for a short while before rushing to engulf her in a hug.“Leila.” Freya hugged her back. “I’m so sorry.”“For what?” Leila asked. Freya had told her about the impromptu work trip. Her absence had hurt but life didn’t revolve around only her. Leila’s eyes were dry as the Sahara as she stared into her best friend’s teary ones. She would not cry again. Her mother was alive, that was more than most people would get. She nudged her best friend with her shoulder and wiggled her brows. “How’s Darren? You look beautiful, Freya.”“You look better.” They both laughed. Sliding her hand into Freya’s elbow, she guided her towards the hallway. “Darren is fine. Since the app got back on playstore, he has been busy with new updates and fixing some bugs.
