A Bride For The CEO CHAPTER 67— FACE FEARS
Zheme gained consciousness as soon as Lexie's knee connected with his stomach. His eyes found her sleeping form and in disbelief, he shook his head. Every morning she'd kick or hit him somewhere, involuntarily waking him out of his sleep while she still slept peacefully and it wasn't fair, he liked sleep too. With a groan, he sat up in bed, now noting that the sun had rose, filtering through his curtains without his permission and audaciously illuminating his room. Though it was beautiful, he wasn't ready yet, not for morning that had already swept across the land and he wasn't ready, not when it came on to facing his father. He wasn't sure what the future holds, but he was adamant on trying, just like his mother did. If he failed, then he failed and if he succeeded then perhaps happiness would finally be his. Shuffling to the edge of the bed, he hopped off, trudging to the bathroom where he

"She's pregnant."Pregnant..?Zheme's eyes widened, face supporting a dumbfounded look. "Pregnant...?"The doctor nodded, shoving his hands in the pocket of his coat. "She's two weeks pregnant, thus the starting of morning sickness, isn't that happy news?""Happy news? How could this be happy news when I'm pregnant for him of all persons?""For me of all persons?" Zheme looked over at Lexie who sat on the hospital bed, a hurt look crossing his face. "What's wrong with me?""You're a...a..." She groaned, palm clinging to her still aching head. "Never mind."Zheme frowned. "I think I have the right to know.""But I don't have to tell you.""You do.""I don't and I won't, so j-"The doctor stepped between them, face blank. "Sorry for intruding, but there are other patients in need of my help." He offered Lexie a seal bottle of pills. "Here, take them in the morning before you eat, they're

Lexie sat in the living room, eyes tranfixed on Dan who watched her with blatant curiosity.Zheme had just dropped her off and without even clarifying if she's okay or not, he left. But too bad, Lexie would use this to her advantage. Dan was here now after all, he could help her, he had promised to, so why not grasp the chance when its in the midst of her palm?Clearing her throat, she opted to talk, however Dan spoke before her. "Did you manage? To change him I mean."Lexie shook her head. "No and that's why...that's why I want your help. You can still help me right?"Dan nodded his head, clasping his frail hands in his lap. "Of course girl, I told you I would and I had warned you that you wouldn't be able to change him, those rules were engraved in his head since he was 9, how could you possibly erase them?"Lexie shrugged, eyes becoming watery. "I don't know, I just thought...I thought...I thought he'd keep his promise, I thought I cou

With a dense pain in her heart, Lexie sat in the back of the driving car.She was finally away from that house, that prison, that cage, she was finally free, but why instead of being happy, she felt sad?Why instead of felicity, there was a heavy weight of lugubriousness resting atop of her heart?Why?Was it because she broke two of her promises in just one day?The first- to change him before she ever thought of leaving and the second, to stay with him...forever.Or perhaps it was because she was leaving without a part of her intact.Her heart...The organ still only beats for him, the damn thing still cared for him even after all he did to her...why?Lexie couldn't understand, she wanted to hate him, she wanted to hate him so bad, but she just couldn't and that made the pain of his betrayal all the more heartbreaking.Sighing, the soft palm of her hand caressed her stomach. It was still as f

As Zheme drove, he couldn't help but look back at the hiccuping girl, her eyes were downcast, hands clasped in her lap. She looked pitiful, sad, scared and it was all because of him, because of what he did to her.Back then while doing it, he felt no regret, but now since his actions induced such fear within her, he was lost in an ocean of lamentation.He shouldn't have broken his promise, he shouldn't have slapped her, instead he should have found another way to protect her, should've known that standing up to his father was the only way out. But because of his incompetence, she couldn't even look him in the eye and that fact tore through his heart.Sighing, his fingers wrapped tighter around the steering wheel, eyes straying from her vulnerable form as he grumbled out a subdued... "Lexie..."Lexie's eyes darted up, lips trembling as another sob broke through. "Y-yes.""Why did you have to do it? Couldn't you have been a bit more patient

AN/|\ I'm really not sure about the shipping time, so if it's wrong, don't mind it.•••Three days, that's how long it took to get to Zheme's preferred location and when they finally breached the land, Zheme stuck to his end of the deal by handing over one third of his precious money to John.They parted ways after that, John retreating with his stupidly talkative men and Zheme with Lexie. It took a while to settle in since the environment was unfamiliar, but in time, Zheme got acquainted with the city enough to buy both him and Lexie a couple pair of clothes as well as rent a really cheap apartment. He wanted the money to last and thus, he had to conserve it.As of now, he was sitting in said apartment, Lexie deliberately sitting away from him. It had been two days since their departure from the US and yet she refused to talk to him unless she's asked a question. He wasn't sure what to do anymore, he tried and yet all she did was ignore

Lexie sat by the table, eyes glaring daggers at the glass of water along with the tiny white pill Zheme laid before her. Who told him she wanted her morning sickness gone?Who told him she wanted to take her pills?And who told him she wanted to see him so early in the damn morning?That's right, nobody did, so why was he seated before her, a blank look on his face, hands clasped under his chin. "I already made breakfast, take your pills and then let's eat.""No."Zheme tilted his head, confusion invading his obsidian eyes. "Why not?""Because..." Lexie trailed off, shoving the glass of water aside. "You can't tell me what to do.""I'm not trying to control you Lexie, but it's important that you take your pil—""You are, you always do and I'm not listening to you anymore."Sighing, Zheme pinched the bridge of his nose in irritation. He was getting tired of this now, all this woman did was anno

A sob edged her lips and on impulse, Zheme's arms encased her, pulling her to his chest. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry okay...? You don't have to forgive me, but at least take good care of yourself." His hand patted her back, chin resting on top of her head. "Take care of yourself so I don't have to tell you to."Lexie wanted to push him away, she wanted to escape his embraced, but the warmth engraved within it stopped her. It was familiar, the way he held her. After all, he use to do it all the time, tightly hold her within his strong arms; when they slept and sometimes when he'd forcibly haul her into his lap.The memories were like a happy movie to her, they depicted how blissful they once were, how felicitous, but just look at them now, sad and distant and it was all because of him.He betrayed her!He maliciously broke her!And yet she wanted him, she wanted him so much; to have, to hold, to once again love.Why?
