Contract With The Billionaire

How dare you, Alexander?” Ella screamed, ignoring how the cameras were turned towards her, and the flashes never stopped. She is going to turn this game in her favour.

“You were the one who proposed to me first and then left me, saying you got bored of me. I always loved you.” She said it dramatically, walking towards Alex.

Mark frowned at her, and he felt like killing the witch.

“This bitch, no witch, no, she’s a bloody ah! Forget it, I’m not spewing nonsense from my mouth for her.” Mark grumbled under his breath, and then his phone rang.

“Chloe?” He frowned, seeing the caller ID, and moved away from the noise.

“Mark, what the hell is going on? What is Alex doing in a press conference?” Chloe sounded pissed, and Mark pursed his lips. What was he supposed to say?

Chloe asked, “Do you even realise Mia must be watching this as well?” That is when his eyes widened, and he cursed for forgetting such an important thing.

How could they forget?

“Listen, Chloe, just go to the penthouse and stay with her. We’ll explain it when it’s all over.” He stated this, and he hung up, moving towards where the drama was still unfolding.

“That is a lie!” Ella screamed and looked ready to kill someone.

Alex looked as calm as ever as he sat conveniently.

“Ms. Ella, if he is lying, then why didn’t we spot him at any of your parties? You were always enjoying yourself with someone else.” A reporter asked, and she bawled her fists to control her anger.

“Tell them Ella, or wait, I’ll tell them she’s been planning to seduce me for a long time now, sending me party invitations, visiting my office, and trying to find my weakness. But alas, all her plans failed. And in the end, she resorted to blackmailing. Am I right?” Alex asked as he smirked, and she gritted her teeth, feeling annoyed.

Everything was going wrong, fucking everything.

“This is outrageous! What proof do you have?” She clenched her jaw as she asked him, which made him raise his eyebrows.

“I already gave them the proof.” He stared straight at her, and she did the same.

“That is not enough proof. For all I know, you could’ve edited that audio, and how can you even prove that is my voice or that number is mine?” Ella questioned, and Alex remained silent, which made her smirk.

“Alright, let’s prove it now.” He picked up his phone and dialled the unknown number, and for a minute she panicked before she calmed down.

The ring went on, but no one answered, which made her smirk in victory.

“See? He is only doing all this because he wants to ruin my life. All he wants is revenge, and…” she suddenly stopped her speech as the cops entered the place.

“Mr. Ian, we found this phone at Ms. Ella’s residence, and it rang once with your name displayed on it. Is this the same number you received the call from?” The cop questioned Alex, showing him the phone, and Alex looked at Ella, who went white as a sheet.

“I believe so.” Alex responded to the cops as he faced Ella and said, “Ella, you should’ve been more careful. Which blackmailer doesn’t destroy a SIM card after they’ve made the call? And I have warned you and given you a huge chance to reflect on your past mistakes, but you aren’t ready.” He mocked her, and she breathed heavily, glaring at him.

“You! I will kill you, Alexander Ian! I will destroy you completely!” She screamed like a mad person, struggling in the cop hold while she was being taken away.

“So I think that was enough proof of who Ella Kate is. This press conference ends here.” Alex announced and left, while the media tried to question him about many other things, but he ignored them all.

“Model Ella Kate is taken into police custody after business tycoon Alexander Ian makes allegations against her of blackmailing him.”

“She seemed to be screaming and behaving like she was mentally ill, but we still don’t know if the allegations are right because she never confessed the crime.”

“Did she blackmail Alexander Ian, or is there some hidden motive behind this drama?”

After all the drama was over, Alex and Mark reached the penthouse.

Mia and Chloe were already present in the living room, and as both men walked in, they stood up.

“What was all that about?” Mia questioned, looking at Alex for an answer, whereas Chloe stared at Mark, who ignored her.

“Just one of her dirty games, she wanted more money and fame and had been trying to get me, but when it didn’t work, she blackmailed me using you and Bryan.” Alex explained, and she looked worried.

“How did she know about us?” Mia asked.

“She didn’t. The day you visited my office, an employee of mine clicked a picture of you two and sent it to her. She threatened to harm you two if I didn’t marry her.” Alex shrugged nonchalantly and sat down on the couch.

Mia’s face had already scrunched up in disgust. Seriously?

“Such psychos you have around you, I’m never coming to your office again.” Mia huffed in anger, crossing her hands, and Alex stared at her, amused.

Mark chuckled, and Chloe looked at him with a smile. She missed the way he used to irritate her, but now he wouldn’t even look at her.

Suddenly they heard Bryan crying, which made Mia run to the room. She came out with him two minutes later, and he clung onto her, looking nowhere in particular.

“Aww, look who is awake.” Mark gushed and moved towards him.

Bryan frowned and wailed, looking away, which had Chloe giggling and Mark pouting.

“He’s grumpy.” Mark made a sad face, and Alex got up to take his son, who immediately went into his father’s arms, resting his head on Alex’s shoulder.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“He’s not grumpy now!” Alex yelled dramatically, throwing his hands in the air, which had Chloe and Mia laughing.

Bryan, too, giggled, looking at his mother and then at his father.

“He is so cunning, even for a seven month old toddler.” Mark narrowed his eyes at Bryan, who seemed busy playing with his father.

“He is smart, unlike you.” Alex snorted and rolled his eyes, while Mark glared at him.

Suddenly Bryan wiggled in his arms, and Alex put him down, knowing that was what he wanted. Mia brought his toys and placed them before him.

“I wanted to ask you, what if the media comes to know about us?” Mia asked, diverting their attention from Bryan.

“They will one day, but not now, the media will only come to know if I let them. So you need not worry because, as long as I am there, I won’t let anyone harm you both.” Alex declared, and she nodded absentmindedly, not noticing that he didn’t just mention Bryan’s name, he said both of them.

Chloe looked surprised at Mark, this time he did look at her with the same look.

“Ba… ba.. ba.. ba” Their attention went back to Bryan, who was now standing with the support of the couch.

They smiled looking at him as he gleed happily.

But the next second, Mia and Chloe gasped as Alex and Mark looked shocked because Bryan left the couch and took two steps towards Mia before falling flat on his bum.

Both Alex and Mia were beside him as Bryan giggled without caring.

Mia stared at Alex with a teary smile, and he stared right back with his lips turned upward.

“His first steps were witnessed by us.” He voiced out her thoughts, and she nodded, chuckling amidst her tears.

“By us too,” Mark added happily, and Alex shook his head, concentrating on his son, who was staring at Mia.

Mia had been expecting his first steps soon because she had watched him walk with the support of the couch, table, or bed, and she just wished that Alex would be there too to witness his first steps.

It seems like her wish had been granted more willingly because Mark and Chloe were also present.

Alex watched as Bryan crawled towards Mia and stood up by holding her dress. His hand reached out to hold her.

Mia inhaled sharply as well, but she ignored it and smiled at Bryan, who climbed on her lap with her support and started speaking gibberish.

His tiny hands played with her hair, and he tugged them harshly, making her wince.

“Bryan,” Alex called immediately, as he made him remove his hand from her hair, but as he watched her pouting and Bryan giving her sloppy kiss on pouty lips, he couldn’t stop the smile that spread on his face.

“Alex, can you sit a little closer to Mia? It’ll be nice if your face is seen, or if you don’t want to be seen, then get away from them.” Mark ordered as he captured the pictures of the duo.

He couldn’t resist looking at the cute mother and son moment and ended up clicking on their pictures.

“How about I join them?” Chloe spoke for the first time, and he stopped to look at her.

“Only mother and father, please.” He said it coldly, and she nodded with a sad smile.

His heart clenched at the sight, but he ignored it and resumed his work as Alex moved closer to Mia.

It caught Bryan’s attention, and he abruptly turned to move into his father’s lap, which caused Mia to fall towards him because Bryan had been holding her necklace.

On reflex, Alex’s arm went around Mia to steady her, and she looked up at him.

Bryan sat in between and turned his head to look at Mark, who stood there in shock, but not wanting to miss it, he immediately captured the moment without their knowledge.

“Uh, sorry.” Mia hurriedly composed herself, moving away from him, and Alex just nodded, not looking at her.

Bryan was grinning, nibbling on his hand, and looking at Mark, who seemed to be chuckling at the little devil’s act as well.

It seems like their son is going to be the subject of their love story.
