Contract marriage: My billionaire’s cure

I ran to the other end off the pool and knelt down, hugging Marcus from the side. He looked to his left and his eyes widened in shock at seeing me. He cupped my face and trailed his thumb along my jaw to see if I was real or not.

“Camilla” he whispered in shock.

“Marcus”

“Is this a dream?” I chuckled softly and shook my head brushing away the strands of hair falling on his face.

“I’m sorry I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you Camilla” his voice broke as he apologized me.

“I know and I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you either”

He stared at me for a while before leaning his forehead on mine. He closed his eyes and whispered quietly.

“I can’t lose you Camilla. I can’t. You are all I have”

I felt tears well in my eyes at his words. I slowly pressed my lips to his cheeks and then down his jaw to his throat.

He wrapped his arms around me and brought me onto his lap while I trailed kisses along his neck. I wrapped my legs around his waist and leaned back to stare at his chiseled face. His hand slowly traveled to my back pressing me closer to his chest as he brought his lips to mine. He kissed me fervently in a heart clenching passion, our lips molding against each other in a deep desire, rendering me breathless as he gently bit my lower lip. My lips parted and he deepened the kiss, evoking a moan inside me.

His hand unfastened the top buttons of my shirt, exposing my cleavage to him. He leaned down and started pressing soft kisses on my chest, his tender lips grazing the neckline of my bra. I moaned at his touch and pulled his head closer as I arched my back, allowing him more access. I felt a slightly bump between my thighs and looked down to see what it was. My face flushed a deep shade of red as I realized that it was his crotch poking me.

“See what you did to me” Marcus whispered in a deep husky voice and nibbled my earlobe playfully. I jumped out of his arms and stood up, quickly covering my face as I turned around, facing away from him. I heard him chuckle before wrapping his arms around me, pressing my back against his hard chest.

“Someone is shy” he buried his face in my neck and inhaled sharply. Before I could feel his bump again I pushed him away and moved to the side, looking down in embarrassment.

“Let’s go big boobies”

I gasped and looked at him in shock. He did not just say that. He did not. I saw him chuckling and I look down to see my shirt still open. I quickly fastened the buttons while glaring at him.

“They’re not big” I exclaimed angrily.

“What’s wrong with them being big?” Marcus asked with fake innocence.

“Cause they’re not. They are in perfect size. They are neither big nor small”

“Really? I’m not sure. Let me take a look” Marcus walked towards me with a smirk on his lips and I took few steps back giving him an angry scowl.

“Move away, you peasant! Shoo! ”

Marcus tilted his head back and laughed out loud angering me more. Gathering all my energy, I strode towards him and pushed him into the pool.

He gasped as he got soaked from top to bottom. I laughed evilly, clapping my hands while enjoying his bewildered look. My eyes were tearing up and through my glossy eyes I saw Marcus grabbing my hand and pulling me into the pool with him.

“Marcus” I exclaimed in anger, touching my wet hair in horror.

“Look who’s laughing now” he said between fits of laughter.

“You are dead you are so dead” I started splashing water at him like a mad woman while he laughed clutching onto the handrail.

My lips tugged into a small smile seeing how happy he looked. I couldn’t bear to see him suffering and I promised myself that I would never hurt him again. He might look strong to everyone else but I knew deep down that he was a small child in pain, longing for love and care.

…

“Hachoooooo” I took a handful of tissues and blew my nose, my eyes watering with every sneeze.

I heard a chuckle and I glared at Marcus who was fixing his tie in front of the mirror.

“What you are laughing at idiot?” I huffed angrily crossing my arms in front of my chest.

“It’s all your fault. You are the one who pushed me into the pool last night”

“That’s because I didn’t know you were water proof” I groaned in annoyance and leaned my head back on the pillow.

“Hachooo. How come I have a cold and you don’t?”

Marcus shrugged his shoulders as he brushed his hair. “Maybe it’s because I’m water proof ”

“I hate you” I threw the pillow at his hard back and groaned while rolling on the bed like a fish out of water.

“Aren’t you coming? The contestants will be arriving at the hotel today”

“You go. I’ll come” I yawned and stretched my arms the furthest I could.

“I’m have a meeting at my office. I will come to the hotel after you. So you will have to take care of everything in the meantime”

“So annoying” I pulled the sheets up and crept under them like a snake. After Marcus, the thing I loved the most was his bed. It was so comfortable that it wouldn’t let me get out of it’s embrace.

“I have to go since it’s a meeting with the trainees of the empire group. My sister will also be working as an intern there” to that I pulled my sheets down and stood up happily.

“Really? She’s so nice. I want to meet her again”

“Sure, you will”

“But there’s one thing I don’t like about her. It’s her name. She shares it with that bitch Clara. Ugh why do they both have the same name? By the way what’s her full name? ”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Clara Rebecca Jones”

“Rebecca, I like it. Was your mother’s last name Jones?”

Marcus was a bit hesitant before nodding his head in reply. I looked at his reflection in the mirror. A pained look flashed across his face, his eyes sinking in darkness, reminding him of her.

Before I could change the subject to lighten the mood Marcus walked to the bed and suddenly lifted me in his arms.

“What are you doing?” I yelled in shock.

“If I didn’t do this you would never get out of bed” With that he walked to the bathroom and dumped me in the bathtub which was already full with steaming hot water.

“Ahh what th-”

“I made the bath for you because I knew you would be too lazy to get out” Marcus pinched my nose with a chuckle before leaving the bathroom while my jaw hung open in disbelief that he just freaking dumped me in the tub.

…

“Mrs. Anderson please come with us. The contestants will be arriving in the evening” I was warmly welcomed by the staff at the entrance to Marcus’s hotel.

A massive golden chandelier was hanging from the high ceiling, giving an ethereal glow to the tall pillars lining the sides with red material draped around them in spirals. A long red carpet laid on the floor at the entrance, leading to the water fountain streaming water up into the air through a small hole on the head of a woman with a cello. Hurricane lamps with red flower rings on white columns were placed along the way leading to the two staircases at the far end of the hall, giving a red and gold radiance to the entire hotel. No wonder Marcus’s hotels were number one.

“Can I book a room?” I asked while yawning, covering my mouth with my hand.

“Um the contest…”

“Everything is prepared right? ”

The petite woman nodded her head in fright at my demanding voice.

” Good. Then give me a room”

Last night I didn’t sleep a wink, thinking about how good Marcus’s lips had felt on my chest. It was so gentle and passionate, making me squirm inside. I wanted to feel his touch again, his lips on mine, his hands raking every inch of my body.

“Mr. Anderson has his own VIP room in the hotel. If you like we can take you there Ma’am” the woman answered with her hands shaking slightly as she stood before me.

I didn’t have a good reputation when it came to hotels. When I was in school I always used to fire the staff at my father’s hotel because I was pissed with schoolwork. The staff used to call me the devil’s incarnation till I created my own company and became a responsible person.

As soon as I reached the room I jumped on to the bed pulling the covers over me. After a few minutes of taking a nap my phone rang. I groaned in annoyance seeing Marcus’s name flash on my screen. He had no right to disrupt my sleep.

Lazily I answered the call and brought it to my ear.

“What are you doing? Get off the bed and work!”

I suddenly looked around to see if he was here but the room was empty except for me.

“How do you know I’m in bed?”

“It’s my hotel and you are in my room. So I know what’s happening in my room”

I got off the bed and started searching for CCTV cameras. I took some books out of his cupboard and threw them on the floor. “Hey those are important books” Marcus complained on the other end.

“Can you freaking tell me where the CCTV is?”

“Why? So you can go back to sleeping?”

“Yes now tell me, why do you have cameras in your room?”

“I have kept some of my important documents in those cupboards. To make sure the staff or anyone else don’t steal them I have installed cameras”

I rolled my eyes at that and started walking to the bed again.

“If you hadn’t called me I might have even removed my clothes you know?”

“I wouldn’t have minded” he said in a playful tone and I could literally sense the smirk on his face through the line. Ignoring his answer, I decided to change the topic.

“When are you coming?” I said with a small pout on my face. I didn’t get a chance to be with him these last few days and being apart from him hurt. Love made people go crazy, I didn’t doubt that.

“Why? Missing me already?” I scoffed at his narcissist personality. To be honest it was true, I was missing him but I didn’t want him to know that.

“No I just need a koala bear to cuddle with. Maybe I should ask one of the male staff to come up” I said teasingly, knowing how much that angered him.

“Don’t you dare! When this meeting is over I’m gonna get there as fast as possible” he huffed angrily and cut the call. I laughed victoriously and decided to go out since he could see me when I was in the room.

I opened the door and walked out, fiddling with my phone. After walking a few steps ahead, I stumbled into someone and we both fell on our butts.

“Ouch” the girl who was wearing a housekeeping dress rubbed her back in pain. Her strawberry blonde hair flowing out in all directions covering her face from me.

A small smile tugged at my lips as I realized who it was. I quickly got up and jumped on her, dragging us both back to the floor while laughing hilariously.

“Blair!!”
