His Wife (A Contract Marriage Story) by Heer Mangtani

Chapter 107

[ALEX]

The Whitlock House.

I read the name inscribed outside a hundred times before I took a deep breath and rang the bell. Travelling home gave me a bitter reminder about why I don’t travel home often. It took a lot of work. For starters, I needed to take two planes. The one in which I usually travelled–the one with more security in case of an air attack was full of my guards, and the plane that my guards usually travelled in had me and Dom. And

Mia this time. She was a pain in the ass. She had never flown, and it scared her when the flight took off, so she held Dom’s hand.

Yup, she held his hand because he was sitting next to her- at a distance- and me opposite her.

It took everything in me to not open the door and throw him out in the air.

Dom, however, grunted and shoved her hand off as soon as we had finished taking off, highly disapproving of the fact that we got her with us.

We landed here while the other plane went to a remote location for a fully paid vacation for my employees, just in order to throw off anyone who might be tracking me, and that was just the start.

After landing, we had to take two cars. I drove home while Dom and Mia drove around for a while to ensure nobody had followed me here, because there is a lot of things on my list before I endanger my family’s life–like dying myself.

Under normal circumstances, I would have kept Mia with me. But I was visiting home after a long, long time, and I had to make sure my sister didn’t jump in the air and clap her hands and call her Hannah. So I had to leave her with Dom. Alone. Again.

The door flung open, opened by that very ball of stupidity and sunshine twin sister. Aurora was shorter to me but by no means short for a girl, her eyes were a lighter shade of brown- almost hazel, and her hair colour that resembled mine now had slight gold strands in her long wavy locks. She was in her work clothes, I wasn’t surprised. Since it was late evening, I assumed she was just back from her job.

“Surprise?” I offer with a crooked smile.

“You actually came!” And then, she flung into my arms, and I laughed and wrapped my hand back around her.
