Contract With The Billionaire

The next few weeks were hectic for Alex, and he had only so much time to spend with Bryan.

He would leave early and be back at midnight. Most times, Bryan would be asleep, and he would never disturb his son’s sleeping hours for selfish reasons.

George walked into his cabin after receiving permission. He stood in front of Alex.

Alexander, who had been busy reading some documents, looked up when the room remained silent even after a few minutes.

“What is it?” He asked, and George blinked before taking a deep breath and placing an envelope on his desk.

Alexander glanced at him and then at the envelope on his desk before he picked it up.

As he investigated the content inside the envelope, his face remained glued to the letter.

After staring long and hard, his eyes went to George, who still stood before him.

“Who gave you this?” He asked

“It was already on my desk when I arrived, sir. I also asked the receptionist if she allowed any outsider inside without an appointment, but she only refused. The search has already begun, sir.” George was informed, and Alex didn’t react to it. He seemed to be thinking about something, and it surely wasn’t nice.

“Gather all the employees outside now! I’ll have a chat with them.” Alex ordered, and without further argument, George nodded and walked out.

He stared at the pictures in his hand and felt anger building inside him. It was Mia and Bryan’s picture from the day when she had come to his office to meet him.

So someone had indeed found out about his secret, and now they are blackmailing him.

“Sir, everyone has gathered outside,” George informed Alex, and Alex strode out of his cabin, buttoning his blazer, followed by George.

As Alex stood in front of them with George beside him, all the employees looked down, not able to take his strong gaze.

“I’m going to ask this only once. Who kept the letter on George’s desk?” His voice was icy cold, and most of them looked confused except one.

George noticed the same, as the person looked here and there in fear and wiped his sweat now and then.

“Dismiss.” He ordered, and everyone immediately left for their places.

“Not you, Clement.” His warning was clear in his voice, and Clement’s breath hitched.

He was shaking in fear, knowing he was caught, but running away wasn’t an option because Alexander Ian would find him anyway.

“George, bring him to my cabin now.” George nodded and walked towards Clement, who never once looked up.

“Who asked you to do this?” Alex asked asClement closed his eyes in fear and gave away the name without putting up a fight.

“ElElla Kate”

“And why did you do this?” This time, he looked in, his eyes filled with fear and desperation.

“I didn’t want to, sir. Please believe me, I didn’t want to, but she threatened me and said that if I didn’t follow her instructions, she’d make sure that my mother’s treatment was stopped at the hospital.” He voiced out.

“I’m sorry, but please forgive me. I didn’t have a choice.” Clement pleaded, and Alex just kept staring at him.

“You should know that a traitor is a traitor. I’m going to make an inquiry about your mother’s health and to which hospital she’s admitted, and if I find out that you are lying, I’ll make sure you don’t get a job anywhere. Now get out of my office,” Alex ordered, and Clement moved out of his cabin with his head hung low.

“George”

“On it, sir. I’ll look into it.” George nodded, and just as George was about to step out, he was called again.

“If his mother is seriously ill, make sure she’s provided with the best facility, and the expenses will be on the company.” George hid his smile and just obeyed his orders.

“Ella Kate, I have had enough of your games. Now Alexander Ian will show you who you’ve messed with.” Alex muttered as he stared at the picture.

Just then, his phone rang, and he glanced at the unknown number.

“How was the surprise, Alex?” Ella smirked, and Alex said nothing.

He would give her the chance to complete her bullsh*t before he started talking about business.

“I’m sure it was good. She must be very special to you, isn’t it?” She chuckled, and anyone knowing the reality would’ve laughed at her now.

“Now, if you want her and your child to be safe, then you’ll have to do as I say because I know you don’t want the media to know about your secret contract.” She lowered her voice, and she surely sounded like a crazy woman.

“What do you want?” Alex asked uninterestedly, and it fueled her anger because he still seemed calm.

“You, I want you, Alexander Ian. Marry me and save your baby mama and her child.” She requested, and Alex chuckled darkly, and she frowned on the other side.

“You’ll be surprised, Ella Kate, that there’s no one so precious to me that I’ll follow anyone’s orders or be scared by anyone’s threats. Do whatever you want, and think whatever you want. I don’t give two fucks about it, and yes, I love playing games, right? Now I’ll show you the grave mistake you’ve committed by threatening Alexander Ian.” He hung up without waiting for another round of her bullshit.

The next thing he called Mia right up, because the crazy bitch could do anything and he wasn’t taking chances.

“Hello?”

“Where are you?” He asked straight away. Mia frowned but answered

“At your penthouse?” It came out more as a question than a statement, and Alex sighed in relief, but there were more things to focus on.

“Listen to me, do not leave the penthouse at any cost. Do you hear me? Even if there’s some extreme emergency, I want you and Bryan to stay inside.” He ordered in a stern voice, and he didn’t even realise that he was including her in his concern as well.

“What is the matter, Mr. Ian?” Mia asked because he was sounding so concerned for the first time.

“Nothing. All you need to do is stay in with Bryan.”

“But…” he hung up the call, and she huffed in annoyance, staring at the phone.

It was something serious, or else he wouldn’t have called and restrained her from going outside, but what was it?

Mark stared at Alex as he called some people while he waited patiently.

Alex had called him and asked him to visit him urgently, which had him worried. Mark left all his work and landed at his office within twenty minutes.

Now, as he stared at his best friend, he could tell that there was something wrong-something that was bothering him.

“Alex, what is it?” Mark asked when Alex was done with his work.

“Ella Kate, she’s been a fucking pain in my ass, and I’ve been ignoring her and her so-called stupid actions, but she’s gone too far this time.” Alex uttered, as he clenched his jaw in anger. Mark hated it when Mia and Bryan were involved.

“Such a crazy bitch.” Mark muttered angrily, and Alex just shrugged, not really caring about it.

“What are we going to do now?” Alex asked, looking at Alex, who smirked in return.

“End her career, as simple as that.” A smirk formed on Mark’s lips, and both of them discussed their plan to destroy Ella Kate.

Exactly two hours later, Alex and Mark sat in the office, waiting for George to inform them about their plan, and just as they expected, he walked in.

“Sir, everything is ready. They are waiting for you.” George informed him, and Alex smirked, getting up and buttoning his blazer.

Mark stood up as well and grinned at him.

“It’s showtime. Kill it, man! Actually, kill her,” Mark joked, and Alex gave him a bored look.

“Shut up, Mark.” With that, he walked out of his office as Mark glared at him.

As he strode in the room, flashes and clicks were everywhere, but he ignored it all and walked straight to where he was needed.

As he sat down in front of them, the media gathered around and started firing their questions.

“Mr. Alexander Ian, why have you suddenly called for a press conference? Is there a specific reason?” One of the reporters asked, raising his hand, and Alex looked at him.

“Of course there’s a reason, or else I wouldn’t have wasted my time here. The reason for this press conference is related to Ella Kate.” He disclosed, and even though he was rude earlier, they ignored his rude remark and continued.

“So, are you telling us that you’ve been secretly dating the model, Ella Kate?” Another one asked, and he chuckled sarcastically.

“You just want some spicy news to make your channel popular, right? So I’m giving you one. There is no need to make a story of your own because that’s going to be boring.” Alex said he was neither caring nor worried about his reputation in front of the media, and that is why he was able to live as he wanted until now.

“Then what do you want to tell us, sir?”

“Ella Kate has been threatening and blackmailing me to marry her for quite some time now.” He spoke, and there were whispers and murmurs, and it satisfied him a lot.

“Well, of course, there is nothing valid without proof or evidence, here it is.” Alex said this as he took out his phone and played the recording of their call.

“You, I want you, Alexander Ian. Marry me and save your baby mama and her child.” The voice was definitely Ella’s, and once again, the whispers started.

“Sir, why is she threatening you? And do you have a baby mama and child the media knows nothing about? Where are they right now?” Another person asked

“As for why she is threatening me, you can ask her for yourself. About having a baby mama, I do not have a baby mama, neither do I have a child. I don’t know where she came up with something like that.” Alex uttered, and he shrugged, whereas Mark grinned as he stood in a corner, hiding from the media.

“Alexander Ian!” A loud voice erupted through the crowd, grabbing people’s attention.

Alex smirked, knowing things were going exactly as he had planned.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
