His Wife (A Contract Marriage Story) by Heer Mangtani

Chapter 108

[MIA]

Alex didn’t have to work a day of his life for his good looks. His father didn’t even look like his father, he could easily pass as his elder brother.

Alex was an identical copy of his father- his height, body, face, hair, everything except for his eyes. His entire family had brown eyes except for

“She’s a colleagues sister,” Gabriel lies effortlessly, not even blinking. “He asked me to take care of her for a few days till he’s… busy.”

“Hm,” Aurora frowns, not buying her brother’s lie.

“So, Mia, what do you do?” Alex’s father asked.
