Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Wife

“Nathalie? Hey, wake up!”

Lucas whispered close to her ear with a light chuckle, it was the time to put the plan in action.

“Nat, my love, it’s time to leave, wake up.”

He poked her cheek knowing she was unwilling and resisted.

“Mmm…. go away. Let me sleep.”

She shrugged him back by pulling the covers up to her chest.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Oh, no baby, I’m not letting this chance slide that easily.”

He was determined in his mission to wake her up since the man needed to seize the opportunity.

“You are not going to wake up, huh?”

He stood close to her side with arms folded in fake irritation, while the atmosphere of the room suddenly turned naughty.

Nathalie half- opened her eyes and replied to him lazily. She just wanted to protect him, unknown to her that Diego had been hiding for his own life from Lucas!

She groaned with a tired face, no doubt which was a genuine expression.

“No. Just go away, I want to sleep.”

A devilish grin appeared on his handsome face which matched his looks in that particular moment.

Lucas licked his lips and in the same posture he stated while narrowing the eyes.

“So, you aren’t going to come with me as my love doesn’t affect you. It means whatever I do it won’t affect you, right?”

Nathalie remained quiet laying on the bed with eyes closed, she knew that Lucas was now trying to manipulate her. She didn’t want to pick up a bone with him in the middle of night.

“I know it will not affect you if I….”

He leaned closer to her face almost laid on her top and fanned his breath on her face. Nathalie snapped, sensing danger and opened her eyes.

“W- what are you doing?”

She glared at him suspecting something mischievous, since recently Lucas had been acting weirdly_confident and macho!

“Why are you stuttering, huh? I’m doing whatever I please. After all, you won’t get affected by whatever I do, right?”

He had been looking at her amused.

She was clearly nervous with his arms wrapped around her by now as Lucas had been leaning on her.

“It affects me….. it will affect me when you are….. you are….. just get off me, you jerk!”

She pushed him back with all her might as Lucas fell off the bed onto the carpet.

“So, my presence clearly affects you. First point on the checklist is done!”

He waved his hand chuckling in air, in a ‘tick sign’. That was the first time she admitted her feelings openly to him.

Well other than the hug of yesterday!

“What checklist? Are you planning on toying with me?”

She tried to inquire with eyes wide open as a sorcerer.

“Not at all, honey.”

The man had been behaving all sweet as he could.

“You never believe me and trust my words. I just want you. Now don’t blame me for what I’m going to do.”

He stood up and a smirk appeared on his face.

“And what are you going to do now?”

Nathalie raised her voice while folding her arms, giving him a ‘not so easy’ look. She wanted to play immovable as rock because Nathalie could foresee what could happen if they fly to Switzerland.

Lucas snapped onto her and within the blink of an eye he scooped her into his strong muscular arms and carried the lady out of the room in bridal style.

“Lucas put me down. I said, put me down.”

She struggled and moved her legs, slapped him hard on the shoulder.

“I’m not going to. And stop slapping me you little lamb it won’t affect me physically… but yes, it is melting me emotionally. Ah! I want you more now.”

He walked towards the staircase while his eyes never left her face, and the once treated as slave man suddenly had been acting dominant!

She pouted with anger.

“I’m not a lamb and definitely not little, huh!”

But soon she became flustered upon his latter words. Not to give him any hope she stopped struggling.

“You are my little lamb, my queen.”

And she kept quiet in her thoughts, while Lucas was amused by her childish acts. She was defeated now in front of his stubbornness which was far more than hers.

He carried her downstairs where Mr Lancaster had been waiting for the duo at the entrance of the lounge.

“Oh my! God bless you both.”

He exclaimed with joy as his face beamed, though the old man had been playing the cupid.

“Grampa!”

Nathalie was definitely shocked and flustered to see her grandfather making an appearance on the site.

And got embarrassed immediately after realizing her situation. She was still in his arms and not to forget the lady had been clad her nighty!

“Hurry up you guys otherwise you will be late. Have a nice trip my children.”

Mr Lancaster guided them both to the exit. When Mr Miller and Mr Rhodes (their assistants) barged in but their feet halted immediately.

They both had their mouths jaw dropped seeing the miraculous sight and their feet stopped in their place, as if they had lost the energy to walk.

“H… Have a nice trip boss and sir.”

Somehow they both still managed to utter as they did not expect their cold statue of boss to melt into her husband’s arms like ‘warm wax’.

They were dazed like hell. Maybe hell too had frozen already!

“Thank you. Goodbye.”

Lucas replied to them both with a radiant smile, though the mischievous expression never left his face.

While Nathalie hid her face into his chest to avoid their shocking stares, no wonder that was the utmost genuine and expected reaction from her.

Lucas bid farewell to the old man who blessed them and waved, while he carried her outside towards the parked car in front of the mansion.

“Oh damn! It’s going to be a fun tour!”

He teased her as they headed outside when Nathalie lifted her tomato red face and smacked him on the shoulder.

“Shut up!”

And Lucas laughed.
