His Wife (A Contract Marriage Story) by Heer Mangtani

Chapter 106
[ALEX]
"I have made about a hundred-cupcakes, and a huge chocolate cake," Mia tells me while we eat dinner that night, just her and me. After we ate each other out, of course. I wanted to f**k her too, because I was insatiable like that when it came to her, but the woman in front of me
was hungry.
"Are you planning your escape by putting my guards into a sugar coma?" I joked, being in an unusually good mood.
"No," she sounded sheepish, forcing me to look up from my dinner. "I was thinking maybe I can take it to an orphanage or a hospital and
donate it?"
"No." The word flies out of my mouth before I even fully process what she was asking.
She frowns. "Your punishment included you uprooting me from my life and bringing me to this fancy cage. It didn't involve anything about never getting to see the outside world again."
"No," I repeat.
She huffs, "You're being unfair. It's been three weeks since I am here and I have been a good prisoner. I haven't tried escaping, I have made you dessert and I have not caused any problems for you. Don't you think that deserves a reward?"
"Sure, ask me for a diamond set or something."
"What am I going to do if a diamond set if I have no where to wear it, Alex?"
Even though I knew she made perfect sense, my answer still remained the same. When I first abducted here, the plan was to just get to know what she was up to when she recorded me- the real reason why- and then decide a plan of course for what to do with her
Now, however, things were different. The fact that she had recorded me had taken a complete backseat in my head, and her presence had consumed me in the past few weeks.
Stepping out meant facing reality. It also meant facing the possibility that this was a ploy for her to be able to plan her escape, or worse, to contact her boyfriend- which a paranoid part of me still believed existed.
me yourself. I won't talk to anyone, I won't even look anyone in the eye. I just miss the "You can come with me," She pestered. "You can guard outside world and all those cupcakes would go to waste if we don't donate them."
"No, Mia. No discussions. It's final."
Mia's grey eyes stared at me with frustration and a tinge of sadness. "Are you ever going to let me go?"
I clench my fist on the fork I was holding, loosening my grip only when I realised I might turn it. "Define letting you go."
"Outside," she mumbles. "Or is this my life now?"
"How can I trust you would come back here? That this isn't a plan for you to leave
a message to someone who can help you escape?"
"You can't ensure that. You'll just have to trust me," She pleads.

"I have known you for three weeks, and that to because you hid outside a room trying to record me and Bakshi. Trust is a generous word, don't you think?"
45)
Something flashes in her eyes. Hurt, presumably. "Yes, trust," she repeats, her voice shaky but firm. "Just the way I trust that while I am stuck
here in a room and you are out all day, you aren't f**g someone else. Just like I trusted your word when you told me that I am the only girl
allowed to touch you."
I'd be lying if I say I didn't love the way she just gave it right back to me. Unlike almost everyone in my life, she doesn't just listen. She never
hesitates to tell me what she's thinking, even though she knows I can break her in a heartbeat if I want.
She was so soft. So malleable. So... breakable.
"Mia..." I call her.
"No," she gets up, sniffing. "Thanks for dinner. 'Night, Alex."
I blink, watching her walk away, leaving her half eaten plate behind.
She was one stubborn girl.
But right now, I was distracted by another very stubborn girl, who unfortunately.was a part of me. I groan when I see my twin sister's name on my phone before I pick it up and press it to my ear. "Yes, Aurora?"
Just as I had expected, I found her tip toeing in the darkness at night, probably searching for food,
"Hungry?" I ask, and watch her jump, startled, before she turns to me with glaring eyes.
"It's 2 A.M, what are you doing awake?" She asks, dramatically keeping her hand on her heart like it was beating too loud.
"The Devil never sleeps, works hard and all that." I quipped.
She crossed her hand in front of her chest. "I came to grab some cupcakes I made. You know, since you decided you were going to let them go to waste any
way."
"I never said I decided that," I got up from the couch I had been sitting on while finishing some work on my laptop, walking towards the kitchen, where she stood.
"But-But you said I couldn't go."
"I said you can't go, not that we were not going to donate the mini bakery you
made in my kitchen."
Her lips part. "What?"
"I sent them out with Dominic to a hospital."
"A hospital?" Her eyes twinkled so evidently even in the darkness.

Her eyes widen, and it looked like Mia was about to cry. "You- you sent it to that
hospital?"
I nod.
"Wow. Thank you."
I nod again. "Come to think about it, you never quite told me what you were doing
in the hospital that day?"
"Wh-What?" She looked taken aback.
I step forward. "What were you doing in the hospital that day, Mia?"
"I- I told you I really like kids, right?" She asked.
"Hm?"

I had the feeling she was telling the truth, because her eyes didn't twitch like they
usually did when she was lying. Or maybe they had and it was too dark for me to
notice.
Yet, I knew she was concealing something.
Always spoke her mind, but always full of secrets this girl.
"You wanted to go out of the house right?" I ask, and her head perked up, her
eyes full of a hope that my intrusive thoughts wanted me to crush "Pack your bags tomorrow then."
"Pack?" She all but yelled. "We're going out, seriously? Where? When? For how many days? What am I supposed to pack?"

She grinned.
"Goodnight, Mia." I wish, before leaving her alone in the kitchen, smiling like an
overjoyed child.
