His Wife (A Contract Marriage Story) by Heer Mangtani

Alex was spending the day with his younger brother and father at his dad’s office.

I was home with Sofia, and Aurora who had to finish a meeting over lunch and would be back by evening.

When I was at Alex’s house, I was always watched. There was Lana, who wasn’t loyal to anybody except her master and didn’t break no matter how much I tried to talk to her, I hadn’t befriended her yet.

Alex had long confiscated my phone, and there were no computers lying around. If I did somehow manage to get my hands on an iPad, they were password coded and I had no hacking skills. If I could somehow get in, they were Alex’s. I assumed they were always under surveillance.

Her eyebrows knit. “Sure.”

She grabs her phone, unlocks it, and hands it to me after opening the keypad. The first thing I do is dial Jenny’s number from memory, and
