My Contracted Billionaire Husband

Prologue - Psycho Carlos

{Carl}

"Heart."

I have always wanted to know the meaning behind this word and the reason why it was placed in the human body.

There are Seventy-eight organs in the human body and five are vital for survival, but I wonder why the 'Heart' is nefarious.

I mean, How is it possible that this thing called 'Heart' can give and also take a life?

You know...It is the home for that thing called Love and together they both make the lives of their host miserable as much as they can make It pleasurable.

Hence, from the moment I learned of their cruelty, I gave no room to them both in my body or life.

My body became heartless as I became Loveless.

I sound like a Psycho, right?

"A lot of people think I am a Psycho because of the way I see things concerning love and the heart.

Well, don't blame me I was badly dealt with. by those two before I started seeing them for who they are.

"I am Carlos White and I refuse to be fooled by those two.

Though, I have never been a jovial person or a sweet talker. But, I was a great man to the woman I loved. Or, so I thought, until I was shown the bitter reality.

So, ever since love decided to betray me and the heart supported it. I decided to let them both be.

Never to let them anywhere close to me.

I gave all of my affection to the one who adores and cares for me.

You must be wondering who that person is, right?

Well, it's none other than my Mom. The only family I have left in the world.

I am the only child of my family and I had the best family. But my father died when I was young, leaving me to take care of my Mom and the Businesses.

I took up the reins of the business when I was eighteen and I have been running the WCC Since then. I have no friends, well except my one and only buddy Anthony Lucas.

Tony has been the only one that can keep up with my psychotic reasonings.

My life has nothing special to it except the fact that I am someone everyone wants to be, Even though I am myself not proud of my Life.

I am twenty-eight years old and I haven't had s*x since I clocked twenty.

Unbelievable right?

Well, it's the truth. My heart was badly smashed after I had the most amazing and intriguing s*x anyone could ever have.

I was given pleasure first, then pain took it all away.

Wondering how that was possible? I'll tell you.

My ex-girlfriend Emma who we have been together since I got into high school, broke up with me on my twentieth birthday after a very great. You know....time together.

Hence, my hatred for the word women and s*x was begotten.

My Mom has been on my neck, pleading and asking me to get married. She wants to see her grandchild or children before she dies.

She has been diagnosed with Cirrhosis and even though we aren't aware of when it might be. The doctor has ascertained that she has very little time left.

When Dad died, Mom received the most painful blow and I knew she was depressed. She resorted to alcohol to help take her mind off things and that has done her more harm than good.

Even after being diagnosed with Cirrhosis of the liver, Mom didn't stop taking alcohol. She has become addicted to it. And it has slowly become her sleeping pills.

I emptied every wine in the house and demolished the wine cellar and I made it my responsibility to take care of my Mom.

Hence, I never miss a night to go see her and sing her a lullaby to put her to sleep.

Mom became a baby and I became the Loving mother. And I liked it. until I got back from work one day and I found Mom's condition has gone from bad to worse.

Her whole body had turned yellowish and she was constantly itching it. Her eyes already turned whitish in a way I can't even explain and she was vomiting blood.

"Doctor, why has Mom suddenly become this way?

"Her condition has worsened." The doctor replied simply.

"Should I have her transferred to the hospital?

"No, Mr. White. Nothing can be done in the hospital.

"Then, you are saying she can't make it? I asked, even though I already have an answer to that.

"I can't say for how long she has to live, but I can only say that she can't live for long."

I heaved a deep sigh at the doctor's words and I nodded. "So what should I do now?

"Just let her spend her last days happily."

I went back to Mom's room and I sat before her. I held her hand and sighed. "You are also going to leave me," I muttered and Mom opened her eyes.

"That is why I want you to get married so you won't be alone after I'm gone."

"But Mom...I don't even have a girlfriend, how can I just get married?

"The girl you marry doesn't have to be your girlfriend before you marry her. You can marry, then befriend her."

I shook my head in refusal at Mom's words and she cupped my cheek. "Carl, do this for me. It's my wish to see you get married and settle down. Only then can I be at rest after I'm gone."

"Mom please."

"Carl, Just do it and I promise, you won't regret it."

"Okay, Mom." I concurred.

I called Anthony, My best friend, and asked for his help. He is a womanizer and I know he isn't short of girls at all. So I asked for his help.

"So you are going to get married? Anthony asked with disbelief.

"I will only sign the papers and she will too. No sentiments attached.

"Oh, you mean a wife in name only?

"Yes, but you mustn't tell her who I am," I stated and Tony looked surprised again.

"Why?

"I don't want to see anyone knocking on my door, claiming to be my wife."

"Okay, Carl."
