The notorious alpha's contract marriage (MXM, AxA, Mpreg) (Completed)

Chapter 8. A despicable man 2.

Christopher's P.O.V

My assistant Duncan called me early in the morning. He told me my mother had contacted him because she couldn't reach me. She wanted to have lunch with me that afternoon. Only then I realized that I had forgotten to turn on my phone. I took a shower, then had breakfast. I left the apartment after cleaning the kitchen and freshening up. I was planning to launch a new line of products in January. It took me the whole morning to inspect them. I didn't want to be late for lunch, so I left my office early.

My mother was already at the restaurant when I arrived. She hugged me when I greeted her. She grabbed my hand and stated, "Thank you for accompanying me, Chris. I have already ordered your favorite dishes." A guy was playing the piano in the background. My mother gazed at the man and said, "He's skilled, but he's not as good as you. Remember how you wanted to become the world's best pianist when you were young?" I took a sip of my drink, then declared, "I was foolish back then, mother. Who would have thought that my life would take an unexpected turn in just a few months."

My mother stroked my back and uttered, "Aw, don't talk like that, Chris. I will always support, my child." My mother chatted about her birthday party while eating. She would be turning fifty-five soon. I frowned when she suddenly asked, "Is Evander's son back? His parents told me that the boy was with his biological father." I put my cutlery down, then asked my mother, "When did you find out about the boy, mom?" My mother contemplated and replied, "Evander told us about Maxim when we gathered to discuss the marriage contract. You couldn't join us due to a conference, remember?" I glared at my mother and asked, "And no one considered telling me about it?"

I lost my mind when my mother stated, "Don't worry, Chris. It's not like the omega boy is your responsibility." My mother kept eating as if nothing had happened. I got up and said, "I lost my appetite, mother. And you are right. It's not like the boy will start calling me stepfather out of nowhere. Evander hid him for so long for a reason. But it would be good to know that the man I married had a child." My mother tried to stop me. I ignored her pleas and left. I buried myself in my work to get my mind off things. Evander must have thought I was stupid to act all surprised by the child last night.

A friend of mine called me in the evening. He invited me to his bar for a drink. I went straight to the establishment after work. I was surprised to see my other friends at the bar. The guys bombarded me with questions regarding my marriage. They all wanted to know how Evander operated. I didn't want to lie to my friends. I told them I wasn't allowed to share private information with others. The bar had gotten busy. I didn't feel comfortable there anymore. I decided to leave after a few drinks. A man bumped into me while I was waiting for my driver. The man smiled, then stated, "I'm so sorry. I think I had too much to drink." I winced when I recognized the man. Arthur Peas was the leader of the Peas family. Arthur thought that the whole world belonged to him. He had asked my hand in marriage before.

I went to school with Arthur and knew how he was. I hated him from the bottom of my heart. Arthur got furious when I rejected his offer. He declared war against the Eckhart family. The feud didn't last long. Arthur almost lost his business when I won over his investors and customers. Arthur put his hand on my shoulder and said, "It's nice to see you, Chris. How is your married life treating you? I heard your dear husband cheated on you on your wedding night." I chuckled and replied, "You don't need to worry about me, Arthur. I know how to handle my man. Now, could you please excuse me? I need to leave."

I shook my head when Arthur yelled, "You can contact me when that despicable man abandons you. I have a taste for used holes!" Arthur had messed with the wrong man. He flinched when I started releasing my pheromones. Arthur looked at me in shock and said, "You can't overpower me, you jerk." I took a deep breath, then growled, "Kneel!" Arthur immediately fell to his knees. He clutched his chest and uttered, "Stop. It was just a joke." I grabbed Arthur's face and stated, "I'm not in a good mood today. You will have to tolerate everything I throw at you." Arthur gasped when I squeezed his neck. He tried to free himself. I laughed and asked, "What happened to the tough guy who couldn't stop barking a minute ago?" 

Arthur fell to the floor when I kicked him. I placed my foot on his chest and declared, "Stay away from me if you don't want to get humiliated in public." Arthur nodded and said, before running away like a coward, "I won't even look in your direction from now on, Chris." I couldn't blame people for spouting nonsense. Evander and I couldn't even talk to each other like civilized beings, let alone act like we were deeply in love. I received a text from my mother on my way home. I sighed when I read that she had called Evander's mother to notify her about the situation. I rubbed my face in frustration and thought, "It's time to burn the Eckhart empire to the ground."

I took a shower when I got home. I was about to get dressed when the doorbell rang. I thought it was one of my bodyguards. I wrapped a towel around my waist and opened the door. Someone instantly shoved a bouquet of red roses in my face. I frowned when I got a whiff of Evander's scent. Evander grabbed my hand and said, "These flowers are for you, darling. I'm sorry for acting like a jerk last night. I wanted to apologize to you when I saw what had happened, but I couldn't contact you." Evander pushed me aside and walked into the apartment. He whistled and stated, "Nice apartment and ass, Chris. The whole package looks scrumptious." I threw the bouquet on the kitchen table and asked, "How did you find me, Van?" Evander chuckled and replied, "I know everything that goes on in this town. I have known about this place since the proposal. I had to know where the hiding places of my dear husband were, so I could find him if we ever had a tiff."

I scowled and asked Van, "How is your son?" Evander sat on my one-seat sofa, then replied, "I got him checked out. There is nothing wrong with the boy. Maxim was happily playing with his toys this morning. I'm truly sorry for what happened. My mother will be more careful next time." I put my head down, then uttered, "I'm sorry for hurting Maxim. I wish my parents had told me about the child." I got startled when Evander pulled me towards him. I almost lost my balance and fell on top of him. I slapped Evander's hand away and stated, "Don't mess with me, Van. Leave. I'm tired and want to go to bed." Evander grabbed my face and gazed into my eyes. He kissed my cheek and said, "I heard about what happed to Arthur. I wonder if you can overpower me too."

I slapped Evander and yelled, "Don't overstep your boundaries, Evander. Let me go." Evander grabbed my hand, then licked his lips. I glared at the man and asked, "Haven't you had enough last night, Evander?" Evander contemplated, then stated, "Oh, you mean Luca. You triggered my rut, so I had to sleep with him." I was surprised to hear that our rut coincided. I wondered why that had happened. I pushed Evander away, then asked, "And what about you confessing your love to him then?" Evander laughed and replied, "I was messing with him. I would never take someone who cheated on me back."

The only way Luca could have cheated on a powerful alpha like Evander would be if he had found his pair. It seemed the guy was still attached to Evander. Evander stuck his nose in the crook of my neck and declared, "Luca failed to satisfy me last night. My whole body is burning. Will you have sex with me, Chris?" I shook my head and said, "I'm not some cheap whore, Evander. I wouldn't sleep with you even if you were the last surviving man on earth." Evander bit my ear, then declared, "Let's see if what you have said is true."

Hi guys, how are you all? I hope everyone enjoyed reading this installment. Look after yourself and until soon.
