The Flawless Trap Of A Contract Marriage
Chp. 1 The true colours
Today's Kate and Alex's wedding day. It was not like a grant wedding but a small ceremony within both the families.
Father
Alex, do you take Kate as your lawfully wedded wife?
Father
Kate, do you take Alex as your lawfully wedded husband?
Father
Congratulations, both of you have been lawfully married to each other.
Jackson
Congratulations, I'm so happy.....Finally, I can leave this world peacefully as I've already seen my precious little daughter's wedding
Kate
Dad...! Don't say these words again
Alex
Yes, uncle......Sorry, my bad...Dad
Lexi
Congratulations, little sister
Congratulations, brother-in-law
Jackson
Alex, I know that your parents are not present today with us but I know, they might be very happy to see their son marrying the love of his life
Alex lost his parents in a car accident when he was only 8 years old
Alex
I know.....Thank you dad for giving your daughter's hands in mine......I'll definitely take care of her with my life
After a while, the newlyweds went to their new home
After entering their new home Kate straight away went into the bathroom.....as she was very excited for her first night
While Kate was in the bathroom, Alex abandoned her and went out with someone
After coming out of the bathroom Kate find herself alone in the house
Kate
Alex, where are you? .....Alex come out at once.....Alex now you are scaring me
Kate tried calling Alex but didn't pick a single call from Kate
It was 9 PM when Alex left the house
Kate didn't even have dinner as she was waiting for Alex
Alex came in with a girl. Alex was leaning on the girl's shoulder.
Kate was shocked to see Alex in this state......And things got more serious when she sees the person's face who carried Alex from the pub.
Kate
Lexi!? Why are you holding Alex and why is he with you?
Lexi
Relax, my little sister.....Alex was lonely at the bar so I thought to give him company....but he drank so much that I had to drop him here
Alex who now was half sober grabbed Kate's neck and said
Alex
Who the hell gave you the rights to ask questions to my love.
By listening to Alex's words...Kate's entire world shattered
While struggling to say as Alex was still strangling Kate's neck...Till then tears rolled down her eyes
Kate
If Lexi is the love of your life then who am I?
Alex
No one...if it's not for your shares of your dad's company I would have never married you in the first place
Alex
Now scram, before I kill you!
And by saying this Alex went in his study
Kate was standing in disbelief.....In a few seconds, her entire world came crumbling down
Kate
Why? Why it has to be me! Why!?
By grabbing Kate's hair Lexi broke into a laugh...
Lexi
Because that old stinky man just signed the entire company in your name.....Bloody hell...then who am I? A beggar.....why you have everything while I'll have your leftover
Kate
Only because you were jealous, you seduce your brother-in-law? How shameless can you be?!
All these conversations happened when Alex went to the study
When Lexi saw Alex coming out from his study...she pushed herself
Lexi
Kate...I know I was not a good sister but I and Alex love each other...so please I'm begging you...please don't do anything to Alex......you can slap me as much as you want but don't do anything to Alex
By grabbing Lexi's hand Alex threw the contract papers at Kate's face
Alex
Get up! You don't have to beg in front of somebody like her
Kate.....started laughing at her situation.....like a maniac
Kate
So since the very beginning, u were playing the role of a good boyfriend just for my shares of the company!
Alex
So? Do you think that I'll like nobody like you. Never!
Alex
Now, don't waste my time, sign these contract papers and get lost from my sight
Alex
Haha.....Do u think that I am as stupid as you...I have placed my men at your dad's back.....just one word and there your dad.....
Alex
Now don't waste time....and sign them
Unfortunately, Kate had to sign those papers
After Kate finished signing the papers Alex took Lexi with him to his room
And after a while......Kate hears Lexi and Alex's moans
Kate
I was a fool back then I love a bastard like you, but now I'll grow
Kate
I'll make sure to give back twice the pain you gave me today. I'll make you regret your decision and will bring you to your knees someday!
Kate was still in the living room
Suddenly Lexi came and forcefully made Kate drink something
Lexi
Do you think that I'll let you go just because you signed the contract. No! I'll never let a threat like you live your life peacefully.
Lexi
Now that you'll die anyway...I'll tell you something that your so-called dad didn't tell you before. You are an adopted child that he adopted you from an orphanage while he was on a business trip.
Kate struggled to speak as her entire body was numb and trembling because of the poison Lexi gave her
Kate
N...no! How can I be an adopted child?... You must be telling some sort of lie to mess with my head
Lexi
Whatever..... believe it or not...but that's the truth......but I don't know what you did to my dad that he gave all his property and company to you....and not me who is his legitimate daughter!
Lexi
Since the day you entire, my life..... all you did was, snatched everything that belongs me from me....even my mom when was alive always took good care of you and always use to ignore me
Lexi
Now that I've snatched your husband from you...do you feel the pain that I've suffered throughout all these years?
Kate was in shock and was not in her senses to utter a single word...moreover her condition made it more difficult for her to think and her entire body was on fire...and it felt like thousands of needles pricking her skin to death
Lexi
Well, then... I'll leave you with your misery...and I hope you'll die with that misery
By saying these words to Kate...Lexi went back to Alex's bedroom
Kate
Why it has to be me? ...All I did was...I loved my family and Alex but in return, all I got was betrayal and hate
Kate
All I wanted was a happy loving family.....
Tears rolled down her eyes as she thought this to herself
Kate
I guess now I can only die without getting my revenge...But even if I'll die...I'll make sure to bring you both down with me Alex and Lexi!
By saying this Kate took her last breath
Everything crumbled right in front of Kate but all she could do was to see it helplessly
Sometimes eyes see what our mind wanted us to see, and sometimes eyes see what people make us believe

When Alex woke up the other day he found Kate's dead body......
Alex
What in the world just happen to Kate.....Lexi last night I saw you sneaking out of the room.....Was it you?
Lexi
Wh...what nonsense!? How come I know....last night there was no water mug in your room...so I went in the kitchen to bring a water bottle
Lexi
At that time Kate was ok...I don't know what happened afterwards
Alex
I'm sorry babe, I should've not blamed you....but then who did this to Kate?
Suddenly Lexi pulled out a letter from Kate's hand
Lexi
Look what I found in Kate's hand
By saying this she handed the letter to Alex
Alex opened the letter....and was shocked after reading it
Lexi
Babe, what's in the letter?
As Alex was opening the letter....Lexi was chuckling softly as if she already knew what was in the letter
Alex
It says that.....I Kate William is committing suicide because I was mentally disturbed and was not able to handle it. I wish after I die all my properties are to be donated to an NGO and all my company shares to my best friend Angela. This is my last wish, and I hope...My family will fulfil my last wish.
I have already sent a copy of this letter to the police station.
The letter is signed by Kate herself
After listening to Kate's words Lexi was grinning her teeth
Lexi
What in the world is written in this letter? I have never written all this! Who changes my letter with this letter. Dammit! Now, what am I supposed to do? Without the company shares Alex while never look at me. Think quickly, Lexi! Or else someone else will snatch Alex from you
Lexi
And the plan that I spend all these years will go to vain in seconds. No way I'll not let this happen, I have to find a way to keep Alex with me.......Wait, Alex already made Kate sign the contract.
*In the contract, Kate transfers half the shares of the company to Alex and half the shares to Lexi. And all her other properties to Lexi*
Lexi
There's no need to panic Lexi, I still have a chance. I can manipulate Alex and we both can dispose of this body somewhere. Yes!
Lexi
Moreover, this letter can't be taken seriously...Only I and Kate knew the fact that I killed her...And Kate is already dead so this can be a mere prank someone pulled on me for me to rat myself out.....
While Lexi was engrossed in her thoughts police arrives at Alex's place
When Lexi saw the police...she panicked for seconds
Lexi
Dammit! So this was not a mere prank but someone does know that I am the one who killed Kate...Now, what am I supported to do? I can't let anyone else know that I killed this bitch!
Lexi
I have to find the one who changed the letters
Sam
Hello, Mr Alex. Myself Sam, I'm here as I got a letter from your wife. A suicide note from your wife. It got delivered today at 8 am.
Sam
As soon as I received the letter I rushed here.....I'm here to confirm the news.....and I guess it's true
Said the officer after looking at Kate's dead body
Sam
Well, I have to take your wife's dead body with us for autopsy! As we have to confirm whether it was a suicide or a murder
The officer walked past Alex and went near Kate's dead body..... Sam and his team with the medical team moved Kate's body on a stretcher
While searching for clues Sam got his hands on the poison bottle....which was under the side table... there was a bloodstain on the bottle
He carefully picked the bottle with a hanky and put it in a pouch
Sam
Well, it can't be a suicide
Alex
What?! So you think that I murdered my wife?
Sam
Have I ever said to you that you killed your wife or said that I suspect you?
Sam
But now I suspect you! I want to ask you a few questions, Mr Alex...And not just you but this lady and Miss Kate's family members
Sam
Call them right now...
Alex called Kate's father... Jackson (Kate's father) and Lexi are the only family members of Kate
While Alex was calling Jackson.....Officer asked Lexi few questions
Sam
So young lady, What's your name? And why were you here, this early? Are you Mr Alex's sister or a relative?
Lexi
I am Lexi, Kate's big sister. Yesterday I was drunk in a Dark bar and there was someone who was trying to force me.....so I called Alex my brother-in-law to help me......so I stayed here yesterday.....till yesterday my sister was fine and was happy but suddenly.......What just happened
By saying a few words tears rolled down Lexi's eyes
Looking at Lexi anyone will believe that she was very sad about her sister's death
Sam
So tell me why did you call Alex and not your sister?
Lexi
I wanted to call her...but then I thought I should not give her any stress on her wedding night
Sam
So you called Alex.....I guess yesterday was Mr Alex's wedding night also, so why did you disturb him not your sister
Lexi
I didn't want to disturb anyone but I just can't call my dad.....as he is a heart patient and is very weak......and I don't even have any male friends.......so the only person that I thought of, was Alex.....at first I hesitated....but the guy was not in his mind as he was super drunk......which left me no choice but to call Alex
Lexi
Alex and I are both been friends for 5 years.....So it's not something illegal.....even my sister didn't mind it.....and even blamed me for not telling her first about what happened to me
Sam
Mr Alex, have you called Kate's other family members? I have already asked Lexi a few questions...now it's your turn, so may I?
Alex
Yes, I'll answer your questions which are within my limits
Sam
Can we go to your study?
Both officer Sam and Alex went to Alex's study
Sam
So Mr Alex can you tell me why your sister-in-law is in your house? And why didn't you inform us when you saw Kate's dead body?
Alex
Yesterday Lexi called me and said that there was someone who was threatening her and asked for my help so I went to the bar.....She was very scared at that time...she asked me to drop her at her house but dad... I mean my father-in-law would have been very worried about the incident....so I asked her to come with me...when I told all this to Kate.....she was very worried about Lexi and suggested the same
Alex
And as I went out very late I didn't have sleep so I went to bed late and when I got up I saw Kate's dead body; I was in shock and was not able to think straight and before I could do something...you came
Alex was able to brush off all the blame at once as when he was calling Jackson he overheard Lexi and Sam's conversation
Sam
Ohh, for now, you and miss Lexi are not a suspect but if I find any involvement of any one of you I'll come to you with an arrest warrant... So don't leave the country before the hearing of this case...And if it was a suicide then I'll put forward Kate's last wish to the court and fulfil her wish
Sam
And after the autopsy, I'll give Kate's body to you for her funeral
Sam
By the way, Mr Alex do you have her best friend's number with you...the one miss Kate mentioned in the letter
Alex
Yes, I do...should I give her a call
Alex called Angela and told her everything and asked her to come to his house as soon as possible

After hearing Angela was in shock and immediately rushed to Alex's house
Jackson arrived in no time as his house was very close to Alex's
When Jackson arrived he was already in tears and was all drained.....he saw Kate's dead body being put in an ambulance.....as soon as he saw Kate he turned pale
Jackson
What just happened to my daughter....yesterday was the happiest day of her life and today...
Jackson
And what in the world were you Alex when Kate committed suicide...you promised me to protect her life with yours.....but she's dead and you are not
Jackson said all this while grabbing Alex's collar
Alex
Dad, I was asleep and had no idea.....that Kate was thinking of committing suicide
Angela
Suicide.....Officer Kate will never commit suicide...I can tell you someone murdered her
Angela said all this while looking at Lexi
Lexi was very angry with the fact that the police got involved in this matter.....and soon can get blamed for the same...so when Angela pointed her eyes on her...she lost it
Lexi
What do you mean? Do you mean that I murdered my sister?
Angela
Have I ever said your name....but the way you reacted..... as if I caught you red-handed
Lexi
Stop your nonsense! I did do anything, and if I murdered her...why would I transfer all Kate's properties to your name?
Angela
What? All her properties! Stop misleading everyone
Sam
Miss Angela, Miss Lexi is telling the truth
Sam
In Kate's last word she mentioned: she wanted you to give all her properties to you
Sam
Miss Angela, I want to ask you a few questions regarding your best friend....please stop crying and cooperate
After hearing Lexi and Sam's words Angela broke into tears....she was deeply hurt by her best friend's death
Sam takes Angela to the corner ask a few questions
Sam
So miss Angela you were present in Kate's wedding?
Angela
Yes, I was...I was her bridesmaid
Sam
So after the wedding where did you went?
Angela
I straight away went to my house.... as I was tried
Sam
Did you go out after going home?
Angela
No, after going home I freshen up and had my dinner and went to sleep directly
Angela
And today I was getting ready for work....when I got a call from Alex and I rushed here quickly
Sam
Ok, miss Angela.....I have asked my part of the questions... I request you not to leave the country before the court's hearing
After asking Angela questions Sam asked Jackson few questions
Sam
Mr Jackson, can you tell me, was there any enemy of your daughter? The one you suspect or are sure about?
Jackson
No, my Kate was a very decent and sweet girl. She never use to get herself into fights. And she was not that type of person either who will commit suicide...Officer do whatever you want.....But give justice to my daughter..... I want to see that murderer suffer the same pain he/ she gave Kate
Sam
Now I'll take my leave! I'll come back with the autopsy report
Leaving Alex, Lexi, Angela and Jackson alone
