His Wife (A Contract Marriage Story) by Heer Mangtani

Chapter 121

[MIA]

Softer hands than Alex’s strangle me in a hug before I open my eyes. My stranger danger must be lacking, because I just snuggle more into my pillow, trying to bury my head further.

I did not want to wake up.

It’s not like I had much to do any way, except stay locked in a room and binge read a book.

“Mia! Get up!” A familiar voice giggles in my ear, and a kiss is placed on my cheek.

My eyes fling open and I straighten up on the bed the very next moment, tossing the little girl off me.

“Oh, God! Jenny!” Fear consumes me, “What’re you doing here?”

The panic that sets in my veins is immediate.

“You didn’t miss me?” She pouts, tears filling in her eyes. “It’s been two months. I was alone.”

Guilt flashes in my eyes. “Of course I miss you,” I collect the seven year old in my arms, squeezing her as tight as I could without hurting her. “Jenny, you can’t be here. If Alex finds out..”

“Alex…” She blinks, “Oh, you mean the scary man?”

Twas dumbfounded. “You–You- What?”

“He was the one who came to get me from the hospital. He said we would surprise you.”

My heart drops so fast. Alex knew about Jenny. Did he find out after I told him about Alina? Running background check on my story is something I wouldn’t put against him. Or did he knew about Jenny all along?

“Jenny,” I gulp. “The hospital let you go?”

“The scary man told my doctor if he doesn’t let me go, scary man will put the doctor in my hospital bed.” She giggles, finding it funny.

Anxiety consumes me.

Alex knew about Jenny.

Alex knew about Jenny.

Alex knew.
