50 Days as the Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 5

ALEXANDER’S POV

I don’t think opportunities come but once. Nope. I think they come multiple times but humans fail to see it.

Because I have had a lot of opportunities to screw Jason Davies over but I never really took them, because I didn’t think the opportunity was good enough.

Now that I have got the perfect opportunity, I knew I couldn’t let it slip.

Jason Davies is my biggest rival in the business world and out of the business world. I hate his guts and screwing him over would be my biggest achievement yet.

Call me whenever, but anyone who knows Jason Davies knows he’s a sleazy bastard. He thinks he’s untouchable and invincible, but sometimes, to catch a prey, a predator would have to play smart.

Marrying his ex-wife was like taking three steps forward. She doesn’t know that I know her ex-husband and the real reason I am doing all of this, is mostly because of Jason Davies.

I could have picked any other girl for the contract to get my mother off my neck for a while, but this one just seemed perfect.

Anita thinks she’s doing this for revenge and I would love to keep it that way, going through with this agreement with no strings attached whatsoever. Once this is done and over with, we can go back to our separate places.

The car ride remained silent as she played with her hands, she seemed a distanced as a lost look decorated her eyes.

“You okay?” I frown.

“Yeah… I’m alright” She shrugs, turning to the other side.

“Doesn’t seem like it” I remark and a weak laugh escapes her mouth.

“Well, I’m just thinking about my family and how they would be doing. I promised my mom I would call once I got a place to stay. She doesn’t know I have spent the last few days in the hospital and have gotten married to a stranger” She rants, taking a deep breath as she softly slams her head against the headrest.

I reach my hand towards the back seat and pull out a new phone from the many packs laying around and I hand it to her

“Here, you can have this one” I said and she a frown coats her face.

“Are you some sort of wizard?” She gasps and a hearty laugh rumbles through my chest.

“No I am not” I respond through laughter “I just have a really weird knack for throwing my phone out of the window when I’m a little angry” I explain and she gives me a very weird look.

Looking at me from the side of her eyes with a small grimace.

“Ahh….” I break the silence “Before I forget, there’s a no strings attached clause in our contract and I would appreciate that we followed that religiously” I state and she nods

“You have nothing to worry about” She mutters looking out the window.

We arrive at the gate of my home and as usual the gate opens on it’s own accord. She just watches as I drive into the long road leading to the house and I couldn’t help but feel impressed.

I climb out of the car and jog to the other side to open the door for Anita.

“Milady” I tease and she chuckles, taking the hand I stretched out to her.

“Well, thank you, kind sir” She says with a smile and I close the door behind her.

I throw the keys to Humberto as we walk closer to the foyer

“Welcome Mr. Prescott. I see you have a visitor with you” He greets politely. “Nice to meet you Miss” He bows politely and I shake my head

“She’s not a Miss, Berto, she’s my wife” I state as she slowly puts her ams in mine.

He does a double take as we walk past him.

As usual the maids lined up at the entrance to welcome me.

“Welcome Mr. Prescott” The chorus and I nod

“Thank you. I would like you all to meet my wife. Anita Prescott” I state smiling down at her and an awkward silence fills the room as the maids gives themselves a certain look.

“I would like you all to make her feel welcomed and Julie, you would be in charge of her personal needs” I instructs and she responds with a small ‘yes sir’ coming to grab her bag.

“Welcome Mrs. Prescott” Julie mutters softly as she comes to stand in front of us.

“It’s nice to meet you Julie” She remarks with a smile and I nod.

“Please lead her to her room and, do let me know when my Mom arrives” I state, placing a small kiss on Anita’s head and sending her a smile before walking away.

I head into my room and begin to pace. My mind thinking of ways I could elevate this plan.

Make Jason beg and pay him back after all these years.

I pull off my jacket and place a little pressure on my neck to ease the tension.

A knock on my door distracts me and I sigh.

“What is it?” I groan.

“Mr. Prescott, your Mother has arrived” The maid announces and I throw my jacket back on.

I walk as fast as I can to Anita’s room and she opens the door, still dressed in the clothes she had gotten from the cloth store and I couldn’t be more thankful at the moment.

“It’s time…My Mom is here” I mutter and she nods.

Rushing back Into the room for a minute, before rushing back out, she had pulled her hair out of the ponytail and wore comfortable shoes.

She is used to luxury I see.

We walk down the stairs back to the living room to meet my mother.

“Hey Mom” I call making her turn around from the picture she was looking at.

Her eyes light up as she closes the distance between us, pulling me into a hug with a bright smile on her face.

“How are you Son?” She coos and I wrap my arms around her.

“Very well thank you Mom.” I respond. “I want you to meet someone” I add.

She looks towards Anita and her smile sort of brightens.

“Who is this beautiful lady Alex?” She asks and I hold Anita’s hand, looking at her with a smile on my face.

She mirrors the look on my face

“She’s my wife Mom” I mutter softly “My better half”
