“Let’s say, get hired or get fired? Your choice!” threatened him. Chloe didn’t answer right away. Not because she was afraid of losing her job, but because she was battling her thoughts about what she did wrong to deserve this. Since a calm conversation between them wasn’t plausible. Hawkins had to come in between. “Mrs. Schneider, would you like some tea?” “Please, don’t call me that. Just Chloe. And yes, I need something soothing and relaxing before I crack your boss’s head,” she whispered and Hawkins let out a soft chuckle. Tyler heard what she said but he didn’t mind it. He expected her to be this way, with his first encounter, he knew she would be hard to control. And getting her to agree to his plan would yet be another great challenge. But he knew he had the upper hand on this, since he is her boss, and he has nothing to lose, unlike her. When Hawkins was preparing the tea, none of them talked to each other. There was utter silence until he came back. Hawkins ser
Almost everyone spilled their drinks when Chloe relayed what happened inside the CEO’s–rather her husband’s office a while ago. Chloe, on the other hand, was trying to keep her head cool about this. She wanted to meet her friends to get proper, and not biased advice from them, but it seemed she was regretting it now. They were entitled to their own opinion, but the thing was, they were all in favor of her husband. “Girl, are you out of your freaking mind? It’s Tyler Schneider that wants you, what’s there to think? Duh!” Danny, their gay friend, didn’t hesitate to express his disappointment in her. “Exactly my point, dear. Who would be in their right mind to divorce a sizzling…invigorating…mouthwatering…super duper wealthy husband?” Trixie used her unique seductive voice trying to convince her not to file a divorce. But Chloe raised her hand in disagreement, “Err, that would probably be me?” Danny and Trixie facepalmed hearing her blunt answer. Bridgette laughed at their
Hearing the words ‘maybe’ and ‘no’ made her raise her eyebrows. Those two points he just clearly refused were the fundamental points among all the things she just relayed. “And would you mind explaining to me those ‘maybe’ and ‘no’, huh?” she rested her back and crossed her legs, exposing its flawlessness. A twitch came from Tyler’s lips. Hawkins saw that as well, and he could tell in an instant that his boss was indeed affected by this difficult woman. “You don’t even know what I’ll get from this marriage, how come you came up with that 20%, what if it is just a dud, huh?” Tyler tried to find her true intention. “I thought you were clever, husband? The moment you said in the contract how much you were willing to compensate me, to the point of even making me a shareholder or giving me my brand, that means it would be way bigger than that,” an evil grin contradicting her innocent face appeared. At that point, Tyler admitted to himself how he adored her sexy brain, and he wou
As Tyler put his hand on her waist, he could feel the tension all over her body. So he pulled her closer to support her weight and balance in case she collapsed from too much shock. The old man paid too much attention to Tyler's hand and where it settled. He gave him a meaningful look feeling satisfied and curious at the same time. “Old man, meet my wife, Chloe Myers Schneider,” he dropped the bomb as if it was just a casual introduction. Chloe’s eyes widened, but words wouldn’t come out of her mouth. She didn’t want to make a mistake in front of the chairman. So her hand sent him a signal instead. Her hand reached for his shirt in the middle of his chest and clenched it. Tyler felt the pressure from her fingertips as she clenched not only the fabric but even his skin. His eyes got teary, so he claimed her hand, removed it, and held it tighter, squeezing it. Chairman mixed up all the signals thinking they were just being clingy and touchy in front of him. The introducti
It was a busy day at her department but Chloe was caught daydreaming by her boss about what happened this morning in her new home–her husband’s penthouse. “Hey, Ms. Myers, are you just going to stare at those blank papers? Didn’t I tell you to revise the layout of the ads and present it to me before noon, huh?” her head department yelled at her. She apologized for being absent-minded. When her boss turned around, she slapped her cheeks multiple times and shook his head trying to erase the image of her husband’s naked upper body this morning. She could once again feel her lower body part tighten as the temperature rose unexpectedly to her blushing cheeks. EARLIER THIS MORNING Chloe woke up thanks to her alarm, still dizzy from lack of sleep. She only slept for less than three hours due to unpacking. She opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling for a while. The scenery was quite different from her usual mornings. The color of the ceiling, the chandelier, and even the smell
“Where the hell are we going?” she was still upset about Tyler showing up in front of their building and was giving him a grumpy mood. “Somewhere.” “My goodness! We’ve agreed no one must know about this right? Why aren’t you being careful?” she questioned his actions. “Will you relax? Can’t I take my wife somewhere, especially after that encounter this morning?” he teased her again. Hawkins was driving while listening to them, he looked at the rear view mirror and let out a chuckle. What he said sent a crawling sensation to Chloe, “Gosh! Will you shut up? Stop imagining things, will you? Now, will you tell me where we are going 'cause I’m about to meet my friends tonight?” “Shouldn’t you be getting my approval for that?” Tyler’s voice became serious. Tyler’s one main personality is that he hated sharing. He didn’t want anyone or anything to get tangled with his wife. That’s also one of the reasons why he proposed to Isabella because he hated being just the second priori
A car salesman was mesmerized by this gorgeous figure that walked into their shop. Known as the playboy and the most good-looking among them, his colleagues had a bet on him. He approached her with his usual sweet charisma. Hawkins was watching his every move as the man approached his boss’s wife. The innocent Chloe instantly fell into Jeric’s charismatic trap, Hawkins got to do something before Tyler made a scene. But it was already too late. The look in Tyler’s eyes was filled with rage. Hawkins did everything to pacify his anger but failed, “Sir, I’ll manage this, please don’t–” Yet Tyler didn’t listen. He charged at them when he became touchy with his wife. “Son of a bitch!” he cussed inwardly while clenching his fists. A series of giggles wouldn’t matter, but what pissed him off was someone getting his hands on someone who is his. What made it worse was his wife wasn’t even aware of the man’s intention. The last straw of his patience was when the man asked for his
Tyler didn’t have any intention, he just wanted to remind her of their dinner with the Chairman two days from now. But when he entered her room, it was quite dim. “Wife? Are you–” he called to her quietly but got no response and Chloe was in no sight. He stepped his feet inside to make sure she didn’t go out. There was a humming sound coming out of the bathroom and there he saw the light from the wide gap present in the bathroom door. Through that gap, he saw her silhouettes. He gulped at the sight of her naked body inside the steaming shower through its clear glass. Tyler quickly turned around to redirect his eyes, but one thought held him inside the room, “Hold on a second, she’s now my wife. She is mine and so does her body.” “If she allowed that filthy salesman to touch her, then, I see no reason why I shouldn’t. After all, she’s mine and she already signed the marriage contract,” the thought of making love with her aroused him at that moment. His sleeping shaft began
