Chapter: 95 — Restless~Adrian~I paced the space of my office, everything that happened in the board meeting replaying in my head. I'd instantly adjourned the meeting to the next two days immediately after she ran off, with the reason in order to give her time to rework on her designs."Fuck," I muttered under my breath, running my hand through my hair. "What the heck is happening to you, Adrian? Try to focus your mind," I cursed yet my mind refused to work as I wanted it to. It grew restless.The images kept replaying in my head. The way her face had withered the moment her presentation wasn't approved, the hurt in her eyes when she pulled up that composure and excused herself, that tear I saw in her eyes the moment I followed her out of the boardroom, and her response..."Go away, Adrian. I just want to be alone," That sounded like she was broken from inside when I tried to call her back.She had refused to listen to me, refused to let me talk to her, and locked herself in the restroom and refused to co

Chapter: 94 — The Presentation~Odessa~Wednesday morning came with the air buzzing, every department busy with the preparation for the month's event. 11: 00 am, it was time for the board meeting that had been rescheduled. It was time for my presentation."Alright, Sia you in an hour, Ember," I told Ember who I had left with handling the other important work in the office."Are you sure you don't want me to come?" Ember asked concerned, she had offered earlier to help her with the presentation, since she was just returning to the office and it might be difficult for her to cope with everything, but that would give Adrian more reason to look down on me, so I was not going to spare him that opportunity."I'm sure I can handle this myself. You don't need to worry about me.""Alright ma'am, see you later," Ember nodded."See you later, Ember," I responded, leaving the office with my tablet in my hand.By the time I arrived at the boardroom, Adrian and other board members were already seated behind the table, Margaret

Chapter: 93 — Work For Me~Adrian~"Do you think that what I said would be believable enough? That it would get rid of the public queries?" I asked Derek who was seated across from me with his hands crossed over his chest a few minutes after the interviewer had left my office.Derek had arranged for one as I ordered him to, and after having to sit in front of the camera and say those words, I truly hope that when it gets to the public, that would be enough for them to keep their mouth shut and face their lives."I am one hundred percent sure that it will work. No one will question her accident anymore with what you told the public. And that's a normal believable circumstance that can happen to anyone and cause an accident.""And it's also a good thing that you were the one who personally addressed the issue. Leaving it to Madam Margaret to speak about it would have been a bad idea, because people are going to ask about why it's always her and not you," Derek said with a strong affirmation.I nodded, my mind cr

Chapter: 92 — Emotion Blind Judgement~Odessa~"Ember, my mother-in-law told me you've worked here for four years, right?" I looked up from my laptop where I was scrolling through some designs."Yes, ma'am. I've been here since the launch of the company's first magazine album. Though I only started working as your assistant last year." Elsa answered. Today, we were working on choosing the best designs for the upcoming annual fashion show which has already been scheduled to begin in a week's time.The excitement had been in the air when I arrived this morning, with every staff member jubilant to have an opportunity to showcase their talent, star in the company's TV shows, and trend on all social media.The task this morning was to pick out the best design collections that would be presented to the board for approval before they would be showcased in the event."So... that means, you've known everyone here so well too." I went further to ask, keeping my gaze a little focused on her as she looked up meeting mine."Yes, I do.

Chapter: 91 — A Move On Her~Adrian~ "My alpha," Derek stood at the doorway, watching as I stormed into the room. "Another day of drama at work," He said as the first thing I did was pour myself a glass of whiskey before looking at Derek. "Are you okay, my Alpha?" Derek asked and I'm sure he already knows the answer to his question. Derek didn't have to guess to know my anger must have been from that woman. "You look like a dog who had just been attacked by a Cat. What has she done this time?" He smiled with his eyes. "That woman has got some nerves," I breathed heavily. "That asshole is asking for trouble," I loosened the knot of my tie and lunged on the sofa. "Can you imagine, Derek? She let Mr Jones take her home." "What? I mean... did he do something to her?" He exclaimed. "He didn't, but I'm sure he has something in mind when it comes to my wife. He keeps appearing innocent in his actions." I said, recalling several times Mr Jones made attempts to get Juliana's attention. "Hmm," Derek hummed

Chapter: 90 — The Look On His Face~Odessa~"Thank you once again, Mr Jones, for the ride," I said, watching as Mr Jones sat perched on the sofa, posture relaxed and almost carefree as he raised a knowing brow, lowering his eyes and letting them fall on the teacup Margaret had just offered him on arrival, and he raised them again, letting them trace me up like he was studying a manual."What are friends for?" He shrugged casually, turning toward me with an easy smile, his eyes crinkling slightly at the corners. "People say I'm too kind, that I wouldn't mind doing anything for a good friend. You know, when it comes to you, I might forget I have a wife," His lips curved with a sly smile. He laughed looking far too pleased with his remark, like he was asking for a reaction."There you go again, Mr Jones." I found his eyes and those striking silver met mine, refusing to look away. "You make me want to meet your wife. And tell you, Mr Jones, the moment I see her, I will tell her how much of a sweet talker you are," I droppe

Chapter: Her Strategies~Elowen~"You know, it's the dumbest thing for a woman like you to walk up to me only to wrap your mouth around things that are none of your business.""None of my business? Come on Elowen, making sure you entertain me is solely my business. Because you make me laugh whenever you're around. Isn't that what your career is made of? To make a joke out of yourself." She sneered, rolling her eyes to the side. "In just 30 minutes of your so-called fiancé stepping in as the new CEO of Riciox and you're now making millions of headlines. You really do know how to manipulate your way in this industry to make yourself more famous than anyone else. Just bravo."I was not in for this stupid conversation. I tried to move but she stepped in, blocking my path. I knew exactly what she was looking for. If I snapped out and got hard on her, she would make it seem like I was being violent and aggressive as she was only trying to have a 'simple conversation' as she would term it. I knew how many times

Chapter: 29 — Frightened Kitten~Elowen~ Good lord. I knew I must be going crazy. What was this man doing to me? My panties were getting wet right on his office desk. The thought was consuming my whole body. He moved his fingers, causing a pulse of heat to jolt right into my legs. My stomach clutched tightly against my ribs, a warm glow spreading through me sending sparks of pleasure all over me. Did he pay for Riciox Studio just to draw this feeling from me? Did he intend to fuck me here? Wasn't the house enough space to get a wife fucked? Was the office more fun to consummate our marriage? This was insane! I bit my lip as the thought flamed my sensitive organs. I was struggling with my own feelings, but Owen was taunting me with them. "You shouldn't be touching me..." A moan ripped from my words as I restrained but that only provoked the need in me. "Oh Lord..." I moaned under my breath, my legs spreading wide. I felt the pressing need for something, maybe his fingers or... just for something more to slide

Chapter: 28 — This Is An Office~Elowen~ What happened last night flashed through me. My resolve had broken, I had let him run his fingers right inside of me. Owen had touched me that much! What if he tries to do it again, maybe do more? Right in this office! "No, please stop," I hissed under my breath, struggling to free myself from him, the warmness of his breath fanning my flushed face. However, it seemed that it only provoked something in him. "Do you know there's something about the way you make me feel whenever you try to be stubborn at my orders?" His voice was husky, rasping with the heavy sound of his breathing. "You are to obey my orders, Elowen. Every bit of it." His hands came upon my back, as if to make me feel the depth of his commands. "You..." My voice broke and it made his eyes darken. "Do not fight against me. Doing that always gets my nerves working. Do you know it drives me insane? It makes my muscles tighten and a knot forms at the pit of my stomach. You're driving me to do th

Chapter: 27— Ulterior Motive~Owen~Black knee skirt, cream colored shirt, and a matching blazer. The outfit accentuated her confidence while doing little to hide the grace in her movement. The cream fabric softened her features, creating a contrast against the dark tone of the office. However, that wariness in her eyes, intensifying with every second did not escape me. She was looking at me as if my scar had grown uglier over the night. Her eyes by now would have shot several bullets at me if they were designed to kill.I looked at her like a total nut of surprise she hadn't expected to wake up to. A curse she wants to escape.Being away last night had given her the chance to escape the touch of my hands, which she dreaded so much.Apparently, seeing me seated here today as the new CEO was the least she'd expected. Watching her cower at my presence made my lips slide into a sly smile."Are you going to stand there all day and watch me? Aren't you going to formally welcome me to the company?" I spoke. She stif

Chapter: 26— The Fear~Elowen~"Good morning, Mr CEO. It's a great pleasure to welcome you to our studio and have you as our new CEO."Director Mike stepped forward, offering him a bow and extending a hand.He acknowledged the gesture with nothing more than a nod of his head and hand received in brief handshake.Again, the whispers rose, and everyone was as stunned as I was to hear the MD address him as the new CEO.Even the reporters and camera crews present to capture the moment hesitated, too intimidated to raise their cameras.All stared at him bewildered."He looks vicious," A lady beside me whispered."Sure he does," Her friend approved under her breath."Why is he on mask?""Probably he is too handsome and didn't want us to see his face?" The other lady giggled sheepishly."Or he has a deep scar that he doesn't want anyone to see." Her friend deadpanned.My hands clenched tight beside me.Everyone as if in que held up a gaze at him. Someone brave suddenly raised her hand for attention, questioning.

Chapter: 25— It Was Him~Elowen~"I'm fine Emy. At least for now. I'm perfectly fine." I spoke in a low tone so as not to let any other person hear our conversation as I already noticed a sharp gaze some steps away from me, shifting between me and the car with that menace ached in her eyes. She must be thinking I had made a hit on one of those S-daddies to earn me such a luxurious car— what she always assumed people do because that's exactly how she manipulates to get to any position she wants.She was one of the city's treasured actresses, sweet as they call her but I know even Lucifer was once called an angel."I was afraid, Els. I didn't know what to do when I saw the message. Please forgive me. I should have done something to save you from him." Emily's voice trembled.My attention returned to her looking genuinely concerned and angry that she had done nothing to help me get away from Owen."You shouldn't be sorry, Emy. No one could have stopped him. No one will succeed." I tried to calm and assure her
