Kaelia's POV

Lilyanna's voice reached a pitch that could have shattered her martini glass if it had gone any note higher.

Her eyes were as wide as saucers, and her mouth was wide open as she stared at the diamond boulder on my ring finger.

“Yes,” I said, forcing a smile to hide the panic I felt.

“Girl, first of all, that… is huge.” She said as I tucked my hand under the table. “Secondly…Kaelia Bennett, you are an absolute mad woman! You were supposed to tank a blind date not…not marry Freddy Montgomery.”

She laughed, clapping her hands, and I laughed too, looking around the restaurant to make sure no one was paying any attention to us.

That was the last thing I needed.

“You took this too far, babe. You were supposed to scare him off, not put a ring on it.” She said.

I twisted my fingers under the table. “Well yeah…things escalated.”

“So you love him?”

I thought about it for a while. Sure, I was going to tell her I loved Freddy, whether I did or not, but that was a question to ponde

  • Being Mr CEO's Bride   Chapter 22

    Freddy's Pov The late afternoon sun cast rays into my office at the Montgomery Grand, but the air was not light.I stood behind my desk, fist clenched, towering over my operations manager, Elisha Gunau, who looked like he would rather be anywhere else. “You forgot to double-check the financials for the European merger pitch?” I said in a low, dangerous voice.One thing I took seriously was excellence, and he had just disappointed me in that aspect.Elisha looked down, red-faced, a vein bulging in his neck.“Elisha,” I continued, “Do you have even the slightest idea what that cost us? The investors were breathing down my neck because your numbers were off by two percent! Two percent, Elisha! That’s enough to tank a deal this size!” I was fuming. On a very good day, I would have let this go with a strict warning and probably no salary for the month, but I was not in the mood to be merciful.Elisha stammered, twisting his hands together, “I'm so sorry, sir. It was an oversight. I…”“I

  • Being Mr CEO's Bride   Chapter 21

    Kaelia's POV The smell of his perfume was a sharp contrast to whatever cheap stuff Landon was wearing.My blood roared in my ears at the realization of what was happening.Freddy was standing just behind me. He had not seen my face yet, because I was standing with my back to him, listening to the sound of his voice.“Good day, Landon.”“I didn't expect to see you here this evening. Is everything alright?”“Yes. I'm just checking on operations.”I didn't need to be told that it was strange the way I stood, my back to the CEO of my workplace - even Landon gave me a weird look - but I didn't care.I was not going to risk turning for anything.“Checking on operations. You know how it is.” He said. He sounded harsh and irritated, different from the Freddy I knew at home.“Anything I should know about?” Freddy asked.Landon's eyes darted to me briefly. “Just, uh, handling some guest issues. I should check on one in the east wing right now. Excuse me.”As Landon turned and walked away, I f

    Kaelia's POV The next day at the Montgomery Grand was chaos.Exactly what I needed to get my mind off the whole yacht situation.There were times when I appreciated the problems customers made, and this was one of those times.I was barely two hours into my shift when a popstar in room 512 - some teenage girl with a blue bob who'd broken into the music industry and so thought everyone should worship her - had a full-blown meltdown.Rachelle was already there by the time I got there, and she looked ready to cry, so I knew whatever it was was serious.I walked past her with an encouraging smile, making a mental note to tell her to stay away from the worst ones.They knew the best way to mess with someone's emotions.On entering the room, I discovered that this popstar was creating a scene because her mini fridge didn't have her favourite brand of organic kombucha, and she’d decided this was a personal attack on her “brand integrity.”Imagine that.She has brought poor Rachelle to tears

    KAELIA'S POVI awoke to a splitting headache.It felt like I had a fucking jackhammer to my skull. When my eyes fluttered open, I froze, my heart stopping when I realised I was completely naked under the covers.Oh no no no.A wave of panic crashed over me. How did I get to this point?As I clutched the bedsheet, my mind raced, trying to piece together the events of the night, to find an explanation.Fragments came back in - me laughing during the game, Freddy lifting me and taking me into the room, the heat of his lips on mine.Oh my God.I’d kissed him.I'd pulled him closer and kissed him.And…moaning?Had I moaned? I thought harder.I gasped as the memory came rushing back like a slap to the face.My cheeks burned with horror.What had I done? How would I live after this? I looked outside the little window, watching the water. It wouldn't be a bad idea just to jump in and end it all now.I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to push the memory away from my mind, but it held on, tight.

    WARNING!!!THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS EXPLICIT SEXUAL CONTENT. READER'S DISCRETION IS ADVISED.Freddy's PovThe kiss was fire.I did not expect it. She was drunk, I knew that, but the way she always reminded me about the contract constantly had me thinking that there was no way that she'd do something outside of what the contract stipulated.The kiss was bold and unsteady as a result of the wine, and it lit something in me I’d been trying to smother since the moment I saw her in that black dress at the gala. I kissed her back, harder, my hands wrapping around her waist and pulling her against me. The plush bed sank under our weight. We pulled away from each other to catch our breath, and I stared at her face under the dim cabin lights.She was beautiful, drunk, defiant, and completely unravelling in front of me. As a result of her being drunk, her movements were loose as she reached up and pulled her ponytail loose. She wrapped her hands around my shoulders and pulled me in for another

    Kaelia's POVFreddy's words hung in the air like a bombshell. I sat up straighter.“What do you mean we're sharing a room?” I asked, forcing myself to concentrate on something other than his chest. The panic of being this close, in the same room, to Freddy for a whole two days made me nervous.We hadn't even been in the same place for more than four hours, and now we were spending two days sharing a room?“Lily, this is a private yacht with only three cabins. One is this room, the other is my office, and the other is just not in use.”“I'll sleep in the other.”“You will do no such thing.”“You have an office everywhere.”“I work around the clock.”“You know, sharing a room is invading each other's privacy, which is breaking the contract rules?” I asked, looking up at him as he stepped closer to me. “Besides, you didn't mention anything about having to share a cabin on our way here.”“I didn't mention anything about the yacht because it's supposed to be a surprise.” He replied as he
