His Wife (A Contract Marriage Story) by Heer Mangtani

Chapter 110

[MIA]

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.

I couldn’t exactly google the fires in the last six months around me.

But here, I could.

I felt guilty lying to Sofia, but beggars can’t be choosers. “Sofia?” I called for her when her nose was buried in a book on the couch, and we were lounging together post lunch.

“Yes, sweetheart?”

The guilt weighs in when I hear her endearment, but I shake it off. I wasn’t putting her in any danger of sorts. I was just trying to be a little

sneaky and that was only because her son was forcing me to. “I broke my phone before our flight here. Is it okay if I borrow yours to make a

call?”

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

The phone rings, and nobody picks up for a long time. That is when I remember it was post-lunch, which means she had probably taken her
