Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Wife

Lucas had been staring at her sleeping face with a smile, he wanted to touch her but then again did not want to ruin her sleep too.

‘Ugh! I’m really waiting for the day when you will confess to me, Nat.”

His expressions turned soft as the man supported his head over his palm and began staring at the woman.

‘Well, this accident was not a bad deal since I’m on the bed now with her after that. I should really thank that assassin for this blessing.’

Lucas suppressed his chuckle and slumped on the pillow again, he was still in his reverie when Nathalie crept closer in her sleep. The woman wrapped her arm around his bare body when Lucas felt himself feeling warmth within him.

“Hey, wakey wakey, honey!”

He whispered to her in a loving tone and Nathalie immediately opened her eyes. It took her a few moments to realize that she had been hugging him rather than the pillow.

“Don’t squeeze me, love. I have just recovered.”

He complained as Nathalie immediately ebbed with embarrassment and covered her exposed neckline.

“Hey, hey, I…I was asleep. Don’t overestimate yourself that I threw myself at you.”

She pouted and brought up the lousy excuse she could brew in that moment.

“Definitely madame, how can I uplift my hopes?”

Lucas smiled and dramatically shook his head to pretend how helpless he was.

Nathalie giggled and walked towards the bathroom while Lucas kept staying in the bed for a little longer before he could get to his work again.

[Two weeks later]

Lucas had been busy with his work with head buried in the laptop when the man heard someone knocking at the door.

‘Who is banging at this early hour?’

His voice came out half yelling and inquiring and left his throatNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Lucas, you have fifteen minutes to come out.”

That was the order given by his boss who was none other than Nathalie, who had hired him in the first place.

“Oh? Okay, okay.”

He blurted out in nervousness, since Lucas had been working from Lancaster villa. As soon as he heard her voice Lucas gathered all his scattered pages and shut down his laptop

Hurriedly he rattled all the things in a bag and shoved it under their bed, he couldn’t afford to get caught when things were becoming normal between them.

Well, kind of!

“I’m coming.”

He raked the fingers through his hair and made them unkempt deliberately to show that he had just woken up a few minutes earlier.

Lucas opened the door and saw Nathalie standing a few inches away, she looked stunning as ever not to forget with a stone face. Well, that was because the lady had just encountered some news about her father that day.

“Why are you standing this close? I was almost going to bump into you and then her highness would complain.”

He smirked by leaning a bit close to her face as she ebbed.

“Were you planning on kissing me accidentally, dear Nathalie?”

Lucas knew it wasn’t her intention, never in the coming billion years perhaps. But he still had hope and he loved to tease her. It was simply so much fun.

“Duh! As if I will.”

She slammed her hand on his full face as she pushed Lucas back.

“Get your ass ready, we are going to get dad home.”

Such a woman born with a stone instead of a heart. How cruel mother nature could be!

But still Nathalie had to comply with her grandfather’s request to visit Boris Lancaster, who had been admitted to the hospital after an accident.

“But it’s too early, only eight. Let him rest a few hours alone!”

He resisted as she sent him a hell glare not because she wanted to go herself.

But because Nathalie had much more important works to do rather than worrying over her useless father.

“Okay, okay.”

Lucas raised my hands in the air as he surrendered. That was the best for now to gain her trust.

“I’m waiting for you down.”

She glided downstairs but before leaving the lady spouted the words in his ears, which made his day.

“Don’t forget to shift your stuff into my room, dear husband.”

The last words, oh sarcasm was enriched in her tone as she stepped down. But Lucas loved what she called her and that was the first time she had accepted the fact.

Nathalie Lancaster who had never imagined that she would fall for anyone and would shed her cocoon of fear, the same woman who had lived a terrible nightmare had no clue that the happines was at her doorsteps.

As soon as went away Lucas Petrakis shut the door and felt proud of himself for winning iver her heart, or perhaps even if that means a corner in her heart.

‘I’m glad that we are finally reaching that phase where you can rely on me, trust on me and will let me be your emotional shield. Because Nathalie I swear wherever you will go, I will be your shadow!’

Lucas shook his head while smiling to himself like a fool and went towards the bathroom, only to be reminded that he had been living in her room ever since his accident.

The lady insisted on his stay in her room so she could tend Lucas and Nathalie had no hidden motive behind that. Although their so called patch up caused utter happiness to grandpa Lancaster, that Nathalie finally decided that she should give Lucas a chance.

‘Come on Lucas, lets just meet your trashy father-in-law to show him that you are better than him even as a servant!’

The mighty CEO mumbled to himself as he glanced at the handsome man in the mirror, who was the heartthrob of ladies.

Well, obviously women loved him and knew him only by his name. But that still counts as something, right?

He raked through his hair and was clad in an ordinary yellow shirt with green shorts which made him look like a basketball player for whom women will cheer!

‘Here I come, Mrs Nathalie Petrakis!’

Lucas walked out of his own room this time and hurried towards the lounge.
