Contract With The Billionaire

The next day, Alex sat in his study working on an important project when his phone rang.

He adjusted his bluetooth, and answered the call as his eyes remained on his laptop.

“Yes, George,” He said, as his fingers worked on the keyboard.

He sure was managing all the work from home, but it wasn’t that easy considering he couldn’t keep an eye on what was happening at the company.

“Sir, I hope you remember that you have to attend Mr. Peter’s business party today at 8 pm.” George reminded, and Alex stopped typing.

“When did you ever inform me about this?” His chilling tone was enough for George to stutter on the other end.

“Sir, I informed you about it yesterday night, and you asked me to remind you today.” George said, as he prayed to God that he would remember about it and spare him.

Alex vaguely remembered about his call and just hummed, making George sigh in relief.

“Also, sir, you’ll have come with your partner.” George’s nervous voice came through the phone, and Alex raised his eyebrows.

“What for?” He questioned back, and George cursed Alex a thousand times in his head.

“Well, sir, that’s the theme of the party, no stag entry allowed. And if you won’t go then, Mr. Peter may get upset.” George informed, and Alex sighed at the information and thought about it.

Mr. Peter had been a good investor in his projects for more than ten years now, and he couldn’t risk his relationship with him which left him with the only option to attend his party, that too, with a partner.

“Then arrange a partner for me.” He dropped the bomb on George, because George thought that Alex would take Mia along, but was so wrong.

“Sure sir.” He agreed without another word, and Alex disconnected the call.

He could’ve taken Mia along, but that would be too much risk for her and his reputation altogether.

They weren’t married, and neither are they in any kind of relationship to be seen together. Of course, she is going to be the mother of his unborn child, but that information is only for him and not for the rest of the world.

Mark had taken a stop at Ian’s mansion, since he was invited to Peter’s party as well.

Alex was all ready when he came downstairs and saw George sitting in the living room.

He moved towards him, seeing him, George stood up giving him a small smile.

“All ready to go?” George asked, and Alex only nodded in reply.

“Where is your partner?” Mark asked seeing him alone, and Alex only shrugged.

“Will meet me directly at the party.” Alex smirked, knowing Mark had done the same, asking his secretary to arrange a partner for him.

“Let’s go.” Both Alex and Mark turned towards the source of the voice because they surely had not said this.

It was Mia.

She came out of her room with an excited look on her face followed by Rachel

Alex watched her closely, and wondered where she was going at this wee hour of the night.

She stopped abruptly seeing him in the room, and her eyes then darted towards Mark.

“Where are you going?” Alex asked directly, and she seemed nervous looking here and there.

“You’re going somewhere as well.” She pointed out, still not looking at him, but he continued staring at her for an answer to his question.

Rachel came, and stood beside her offering a smile to both of them.

Mark returned the smile, but Alex surely didn’t as he was busy looking at Mia and making her more nervous.

“Where are you going with her?” This time the question was directed at Rachel who looked at Mia.

Mis pleaded through her eyes asking Rachel not to answer him, and this was noticed by Alex.

Before he could question them any further, Mia looked at him with determination shining in her eyes.

“Mr. Ian, I’m not answering your questions,” she said.

“What I do and where I go should be none of your concern. Please don’t interfere in my life because I surely don’t.” She said confidently, and George had a proud look on his face at the way she handled the situation.

Rachel was smiling as well because these months, as she had come to know the truth from Mia, she had been proud of her for standing so strong.

But Alex wasn’t too happy with her mini speech. In fact, his eyes went hard as he gave her a sharp look.

“I am less interested in your life, Mia. I don’t care where you go or what you do, but the fact that you are carrying my child gives me every reason to be concerned. I don’t want anything to happen to him/her.” Alex said harshly, and unwantedly tears gathered in her eyes.

She blinked several times, and looked away cursing her hormones for the stupid tears.

“I’m here.”

The four of them turned, and saw a girl wearing a black dress that reached her mid thigh.

Mia looked at her with disgust, as her breasts were nearly falling out of her dress, and she couldn’t recognise her face because of the makeup.

“Who are you?” Mark was the first one to ask, and the girl walked towards them with.

She linked her arms with Alex’s hand, and she gave them a smirk.

“His date for tonight.” she announced with smugness in her voice, that was noticed by everyone.

Alex pushed her hand away, and shook his head at George’s stupidity.

“Who the fuck let you in?” Alex asked in an icy tone, and she looked taken aback, but quickly composed herself.

“Your guard allowed me in after I told him you called me here.” She said proudly, but her doom was near.

“Get out.” He ordered the next minute, and everyone except Mark looked at Alex with shock written over their faces.

“What?” The girl asked, as if she couldn’t believe he was throwing her out.

Mia looked at Alex and then at Mark who didn’t seem much interested in the drama.

“I said get out, don’t make me repeat it again.” He warned, and the next second she pursed her lips to stop the tears, running out of there.

Alex brought out his phone out of his pocket and dialled George ‘s number. Mia sighed knowing he was going to threaten George again.

She gestured to Rachel to get going, and as they took a step to leave, Alex saw them and said, “Wait!”

Despite everything, her feet stopped at his command and she hated it.

“You are not leaving until you tell me where you are going.” He demanded, and Mia gritted her teeth in annoyance.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Fine then! You and I will stay back because I’m not telling you, until you tell me where you are going.” She said angrily, as crossed her arm against her chest.

A chuckle left Mark’s lips, but he immediately zipped his mouth when she glared at him.

“Who are you to question me?” He asked, and she looked taken aback by his question.

“You have no right to question me, Mia, and since you are pregnant with my child I have the right to know where you are going.” The coldness in his tone made her shiver, and a lone tear escaped her eye which she immediately wiped, but he had noticed it.

“Alex, that’s enough! You can’t talk to her like that when all she needs at this stage is love and care.” Mark spoke.

“If you cannot give her that then, you have absolutely no right to even talk to her.” Mark interfered, when he saw Mia’s face.

“And if you’re so worried about your child. Then quit going to this party and let’s go with her to wherever she’s going.” Mark offered, and Mia looked at Mark who was now glaring at Alex.

Alex glanced at Mark, and then at Mia who was staring at him with a smile playing on her lips.

“If that is what you wish for then, let’s go.” Alex said with finality in his voice, and Mia looked at him with shock.
