THE UNVEILED CONTRACT Chapter 15
Alexandra’s POVMy life has seemed gray lately. The temperature was heading to a new low and the weather really wasn’t on my side. I never gave a fuck about the weather before and the weather didn’t care about me either.The clouds would march along, just like they do. They would fill the sky and cry when I didn’t want them to and they would disperse and clear the way for the sun to shine when I wished for rain.A day ago, I had wished for rain. I wished for it so badly. I wanted a heavy rainfall, one heavy enough to stop the events of that day from happening. Heavy enough to cause a flood. But it didn’t. Heck! I can’t remember the last time the weather was so good. It was sunny but the sun wasn’t scorching hot. It was a good day for an event. Unfortunately.I stared at the dark clouds that I could see through the transparent glass of the hotel suite. It was a beautiful room. I sat on the bed and stared out the glass wall, down at the glowing city. My hair laid messily on my head, do

Alexandra’s POVTeenagers are an enigma. They all were. You’d think you know them when you honestly really don’t.Teenagers often try to do the opposite of what their parents want. This is called “being rebellious”. But I’d argue that when there is oppression, there is resistance.Teenagers. Testosterone boys and harlequin girls. Boys, who are raging with hunger from their hormones, and girls, who give them what they want, insurmountable.Teenagers are usually passionate, rife with arguments and rebellious streaks. Every teenager needs to have their rebellious stage or phase. A time when they resisted everything they had to endure. Teenagers always felt a sense of entitlement. So when they fucked up. They felt their parents always needed to be there to help them.I supposedly never had such a phase, At least, that is what my family thought. I did.I wouldn’t say it was as bad as people would think but it wasn’t good. But in the end, it was a phase nonetheless. A phase that I was star

Alexandra’s POVMarriage has always been an interesting fantasy for me. I dreamed of falling in love and marrying like a normal person. I wanted to experience the chills and thrills that one would go through during the process, the process of arranging a ceremony that is. I had long known that I might not get the chance to have a normal marriage ceremony. Or marriage. But my parents reassured me earlier, that I could get the chance to fall in love and marry who I chose. I was a heiress. I didn’t need to marry for money. I believed them.I shouldn’t have.My parents had gone back on their word. I was marrying someone I didn’t love. And all I was experiencing for the ceremony were chills. “Do I really have to be here?” I asked Adrian. He laid on the other side of the hotel’s wide King size bed, reading a magazine.“Yes, we just got married, we can’t be apart.” He replied, casually flipping to the next page.“But that doesn’t mean we have to share a hotel room. We also do not need to go
THE UNVEILED CONTRACT Chapter 18
Alexandra’s POV*Knock knock*The knock from the suite’s door brought me out of my stupor.I stared at the door for a long time. Contemplating whether or not I should go check who it was. I really didn’t want to get up from my position.The knock came again, this time with a voice.“Room service.”I still didn’t move.Maybe if I ignored it, they’d go away.As if on queue, my stomach growled. I frowned. I was hungry but I still didn’t want to get up. I pondered on what to do. An Idea came to mind.“Adrian~” I called out. He didn’t respond at once.“Adrian~” I tried again and this time, he came out.“Yeah?” He said leaning on the door of the bedroom. He stared at me, suspicion laced in his eyes. “There,” I pointed at the door, a foolish grin on my face, “Get it.” He blinked at me. Then at the door. I reveled in his muffled expression. “You are my hubby, remember? Your wife requires your assistance.” I teased, expecting his embarrassed mien.Something flashed in his eyes, it was gone
THE UNVEILED CONTRACT Chapter 19
Alexandra’s POV“Do you have any friends?” What the fuck?“Huh?” I looked up from my phone to stare at Adrian.“Friends, Do you have any? I didn’t see anyone that could fit that title at the wedding.” He was working at the time. With his notebook and some files, he had a different air. He really was the head of SC. “Of course I do, I have a small group.” I responded. Who didn’t have friends? I had friends, or maybe it was better to say friend… it was a really small friend group.“You didn’t invite them ?”“Do you have any friends?” I fired back at him, ignoring his question. There was no way I would tell my friend about this. She would freak out. You would think with how far the news would have gone, she would have already known but no. My best friend, Katrina Stevens, was the exact definition of crazy.I met her in college, when I still hung out with the phony high class females, who were only good at gossiping. During one of the gossip sessions, they just so happened to pick Katri
THE UNVEILED CONTRACT Chapter 20
Adrian’s POVI was Apathetic growing up. There seemed to be a few things that could grab my interest, even fewer that could keep it.I was more disinterested in people. My mother often told me to make friends. Lots of them. That I’d be able to talk to them and share my thoughts, feel belonged. I didn’t believe it. I didn’t believe that I needed so many people to feel among. Humans were very fickle. Everyone who ever approached me secretly wanted something from me. It disgusted me. I did meet someone who satisfied me. Just enough but that relationship collapsed shortly after.I believe that, at some point, I was a bit lonely. Carl Jung once said: “Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views that other people find inadmissible.”I don’t understand what that was supposed to mean.I had only ever met 2 people who deviated from this pattern.My only friend. Tom Harr
THE UNVEILED CONTRACT Chapter 21
Alexandra’s POV Adrian and I spent our first day as a married couple at the hotel suite. We lounged around in silence. A comfortable one. When it was late at night, bed time, I finally dragged my lazy limbs towards the bedroom. Adrian followed behind me. I stopped. He stopped. I gave him a judgmental look. He raised a questioning brow in response. “What’re you doing?” I asked. Folding my arms. “Going to bed.” He replied flatly. “Where?” I squinted at him. “There.” He pointed towards the bedroom with a matter-of-fact look. “No, you’re not.” I deadpanned. Although we slept together last night, I wasn’t going to let it happen again. “And why not?” “Because I’m sleeping there.” “Darling, the bed is very big. It will fitu Adrian, but I wasn’t convinced. “But still, I do not feel comfort-“ I hadn’t even finished my sentence before Adrian walked past me and into the room. “Hey!” I walked after him. “We’re going on a honeymoon soon, we’re going to have to get used to sleeping to
