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

him.

And, his parents were normal people.

They didn’t glare, they didn’t look murderous, they weren’t arrogant and they certainly didn’t walk like everyone else was just dust beneath

their shoes. Unlike a certain someone, who had a manufacturing defect it seemed, because he turned out nothing like his family.

“Oh no, Mia, call me Sofia,” Alex’s mother told me when I called her Mrs. Whitlock, after they called me in and asked me to sit in the living

room where they were all settled previously.

“Sofia,” I smile at her, “Thank you.”

“So, who are you?” Aurora eyes me, Gabriel’s twin. They were fraternal, and looked so different but when she gave me that suspicious look, I

could swear I saw exactly how related they were.

“Mia?” I offer.

“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.
