Contract With The Billionaire

Mia found herself a little bit bothered because of the way Alexander Ian was behaving to her. He was appearing more appealing, sexy and hot to her and the attraction she felt towards him, only physically though, was worrisome.

Not that it was only because she felt so, but the reason was also something else. He was frequently half naked whenever he was in his mansion.

He would come close to her and without even touching her, he would leave her hot and bothered.

She knew she is physically attracted to Alexander Ian but she blamed it on the hormones.

He was attractive, handsome, every girl’s dream but he was rude, insensitive and a jerk. She just prayed and hoped that in the end, the results would be positive because if not then she would have to comply with his rules.

Chloe stepped out of the orphanage when an expensive car stopped in front of her, she frowned and narrowed her eyes to see who it was.

The door opened and a man stepped out fixing his blazer. The shades on his face screamed attitude, and she waited for him to either walk in the opposite direction or towards her.

Finally, he turned towards her and she immediately recognised him.

Mark is Alexander Ian’s best friend and also a famous and successful businessman. He was often seen in pictures with Alex. But right now, she hated anyone related to Mr Ian for what he had done to her best friend.

She was sure she could not talk to him without a snide remark.

“Excuse me?” She heard him call her just when she turned to leave. Huffing in annoyance, she faced him and glared at him.

“Woah! That look can kill me,” he chuckled on his words, while she gave him a weird look.

“By the way, I’m Mark,” he smiled, as he stretched his hand forward for a handshake.

Chloe looked at his hand and then at him, but she did not move to take his handshake.

“Okay you don’t want to shake my hands, fair enough I just came here to give something to the kids.” He smiled, looking behind at the orphanage home, but Chloe came in between thereby blocking his view.

“We don’t accept donations, we don’t need anything from you so please leave,” Chloe snarled at him, glaring hard at him. But it seems like it didn’t affect him because he was looking rather amused.

“Who said I was donating? And is this your orphanage? Because as far as I know, this is Mia’s orphanage and I’m her brother in law.” He grinned, whereas Chloe’s glare turned into a scowl.

“For you to form a relationship with her, first there needs to be a relationship between my friend and your friend, which is clearly missing. So, stop trying to get in using that tactic.” She retorted, and Mark enjoyed her fiery attitude.

It was amusing as well as entertaining to him seeing such a personality after so long, because he was used to seeing Alex’s expressionless face and his cold responses.

But there was a new character in front of him, and he surely enjoyed her angry face which supposedly made her look like an angry kitten. Her eyes sharpened, her nostrils flared and her mouth pressed in a thin line.

At that moment, Mark knew that he was going to visit this orphanage more often.

A week passed and Mia got no signs of pregnancy; no morning sickness, no cravings, nothing. She was worried and there was no way she could deny it. She hardly sees Alex these days, and that kinda made her relieved.

He had not even once asked about how she was feeling these days, not that she cared but she was his responsibility now.

It was seven in the evening when she saw Mark walking into the mansion, she smiled at him and he grinned back happily.

“Hello, Mia How are you?” He asked, as he sat on the couch opposite her.

“Bored.” She responded with one word, and he chuckled looking at her pout.

Mark was so sure these two best friends were polar opposites. One was fiery and ready to pounce on her opponent with her claws itching to scratch, while the other was too innocent and naive to even hurt a soul.

He wondered how weird yet beautiful this best friend’s relationship was because he also was no less.

“Let’s go out for some adventure before that boring person arrives and bores you even more.” Mark suggested, and she eagerly agreed because truth be told, she was dying to get out of this mansion.

They got out of there and only after ten minutes did Alex’s car arrive at the mansion.

He entered inside and his eyes moved to the couch where she always sits, but on finding it empty today his eyes towards her bedroom. He was early today so maybe she was inside her room, he thought. Dismissing those thoughts as he left for his room.

An hour later he walked back to the living room, but she was still not there. Her door was also shut but then, he realised that he was thinking too much.

He didn’t care where she was or how she was because she was his responsibility only when she would be pregnant with his child, and right now, she was definitely not pregnant.

Mia was surprised when Mark brought her to her orphanage home (charity). She couldn’t thank him enough but he just brushed it off with a smile.

So when she stepped inside with Mark beside her, Chloe was pissed off, she just didn’t want to show it on her facial expression.

She was happy that Mia had come to meet everyone but what was the need to bring that idiot along?

Little did she know that it was him who brought her along.

“You! What are you doing here? I warned you not to come here, you don’t have any shame right? Just get out right now!” Chloe blasted at Mark, and Mia’s eyes widened.

She held Chloe’s hand and took her to a corner.

Chloe was still glaring at Mark but then Mia made her look at her.

“Chloe, what are you doing? Why are you talking to him like that?” Mia hissed, but Chloe had enough of seeing her best friend supporting that idiot.

“You are asking me this? He is that monster’s friend and you are siding with him? Why did you even bring him along?” She asked in a pissed off tone.

“Firstly even if he is Mr Ian’s friend you cannot judge him like that and secondly I didn’t bring him here but he did.”

Mia explained and Chloe was surprised with that piece of information. She glanced at Mark who was already smirking at her, she scowled back at him because he was mocking her.

Whatever it was, she did not like this man. Mia saw them exchange looks between each other. And sighed, shaking her head.

She had no idea what was going on between these two, and she didn’t even want to come in between so she simply decided to leave them and have some time with her kids.

“Mia,” Chloe called, and stomped her foot watching her leave and immediately following her inside.

Mark smiled to himself and trailed behind her. Inside, the kids jumped with happiness seeing Mia and surrounded her from everywhere.

It is definitely a pleasant sight to see for Mark because he could see how much the kids loved, respected and adored her.

“Mia, why did you leave? Please come back to stay with us.” One of the children pleaded, and the others joined, and she could feel her heart aching at these innocent requests.

“Mia, are you angry at us? Did we upset you? We promise we won’t irritate you or do any kind of thing to piss you off.”

Those innocent pleading eyes were making it difficult for her to control her tears, but then Chloe came to her rescue.

“Okay everyone what did I tell you when Mia was gone?” Chloe asked, gaining their attention whereas Mark just stood as a silent spectator.

“That she has some very important work and will be back very soon.” One of them replied, and Chloe smiled.

“Exactly. And see, even if she has work she still comes to visit us, doesn’t she?” Chloe questioned, and everyone nodded, while Mia smiled at them.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“We love you, Mia.” They all said in a chorus smiling at her, and then with a force, they all rushed to hug her. She stumbled back but chuckled and hugged them back.

Chloe smiled folding her hands and staring at them, but unaware someone was doing the same. Mark couldn’t decipher what to feel after he witnessed such a scene.

He felt overwhelmed seeing the children’s love for Mia, Chloe understood Mia’s unspoken problem and came to her rescue.

All of this was something which he had only heard but never seen. But today seeing it, and that contented smile on everyone’s face was thrilling.

He couldn’t understand why he could not take his eyes off of Chloe’s smiling face, or just turn back and leave because it seemed like his feet were stuck there.

“Mia, who is he?” One of the kids asked, and that is when the focus was on Mark and for the first time, he felt nervous seeing so many eyes on him.
