Contract With The Billionaire

CHAAPTER FORTY THREE



It had been two weeks since Mia shared her past with Alex, she had never felt so light and at peace before, and it felt different.

(MIA’S PAST: Mr. and Mrs. Derek gave birth to two kids, one boy and one girl, the girl is Mia, and the boy she can’t remember his name.

One day, her parents are going to a park. On their way, they are trying to press on the break, but it does not work. As Mr. Derek kept trying and trying to control the car, he didn’t know that a truck was coming in his direction. He just turned the steering to the other side to avoid hitting the truck as he turned, and he lost control of the car. The car started to move towards the bush, then suddenly hit a big tree. Mrs. Derektold Mia to jump out of the car before it exploded. When she jumped out of the car, it exploded right in front of her, and she started crying when she saw a lady coming in her direction.

She injected her with something before she blanked out, so since then she hasn’t remembered anything. She just stared and remembered what happened a few months ago, because she has been having nightmares since that incident.

(And she is also looking for her lost brother.)

A huge part of her was satisfied with how life was going, but somewhere, a tiny part was still trying to find her lost brother.

Chloe and Mark were already married, so they decided to have a private wedding.

Also, Bryan’s first birthday was near. She couldn’t believe that her baby was going to be one year old already. Why was he growing up so fast?

“Mia,” Alex called as she moved out of the kitchen and walked into the living room where Alex and Bryan were present.

“Yes?” She raised her eyebrows as she crossed her arms, waiting for him to speak.

“Do you have any plans for Bryan’s birthday?” Alex asked, and she grinned at him.

Their relationship had changed, and she could feel it. He wasn’t cold towards her anymore, but at least he was civil, and it surely wasn’t because of pity.

It felt like he was finally seeing himself as a human who had feelings as well.

“Nothing great, just the four of us celebrating his birthday here?” She suggested it with a hopeful look in her eyes.

It wasn’t like they could go out to celebrate like a normal couple, but she only wanted to make it memorable for them all.

Alex nodded in acknowledgement and walked out.

Ever since she shared her past with him, he had a lot of thoughts running through his mind. How is she still so cheerful and positive after what she has gone through? She didn’t know her real identity and has been living like it doesn’t bother her.

At least, one would think so by looking at her.

His thoughts were disrupted, and for the first time in his life, he couldn’t keep them to himself.

He needed to tell someone, anyone, before he went crazy.

As he reached his office, he sat on his chair as his thoughts wandered back to the day he heard her talking to the stars on the terrace.

Mia was standing on the terrace, staring at the stars with a smile on her lips.

Bryan was sleeping soundly, and Alex was working late.

It seemed like the terrace had become her hideout after she had emptied her heart in front of him. She stared at the stars in the sky with a smile on her lips.

The slight breeze touched her face and made her hair dance in the air.

She sighed heavily and pursed her lips, the smile never leaving her lips.

“I didn’t know I could be this happy.” She said, talking to no one particular.

Alex, who had been leaning on the door and staring at her for the past few minutes, slightly shifted himself as if making himself comfortable to hear her talk.

“I mean, I was happy before this as well, but having Bryan in my life made me realise that I could be content as well. He ignites different emotions in me that I have never experienced, and there’s this feeling that I get just by looking at him.” She stated.

“It’s as if there could be nothing more beautiful than him for me in this world.” She chuckled, looking down at her hands.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“Now that I think of it, I couldn’t have had him without Alex. He’s rude, annoying, and emotionless, but maybe that’s how it is.” Alex’s ears are now attentive as she mentions him.

“Seeing him smile was itself a miracle.” She joked, and he rolled his eyes, but yet a smile spread on his face.

“I don’t know what the past is about or why he is like he is, and honestly speaking, I do want to know, but I’ll wait till he himself tells me. I don’t have patience, and I might also snap sometimes, but it’ll be alright unless he doesn’t separate me from my son.” She pressed her lips into a thin line and tucked her hair behind her ear.

Alex knew she was still unsure about him and didn’t trust him well, but when he said that he wouldn’t separate them, then he never would.

“I just wish for everyone to be happy, including Alex, even though he hurts me sometimes.” She complained with a frown on her face, while Alex stood straight before turning around to leave.

The memory was stuck in his head, and it disturbed him most of the time.

“Sir?” George waited for him to respond after he called him for the third time.

He seemed lost, and knowing something was bothering him, George didn’t want to disturb him, but work was important as well.

“Sir?” He called again, and his voice was a little loud, which brought Alex out of his thoughts.

He shook his head slightly to discard the thoughts and looked at George.

“You have a meeting with Mr. Ken in about thirty minutes.” George informed him.
