Freddy's Pov

Her words hit me like a slap.

“Who do you think you are policing me like that?” She asked, her eyes blazing with a fire I had not seen before.

I froze, not because I had not been challenged by a woman or anybody at all, but because this was her.

I had tagged her as soft-spoken, “would never raise my voice” type, and here she was, chin up, daring me to say something back.

For a second, I couldn't decide whether I should be pissed or impressed.

From the corner of my eye, I caught Sundae watching us. I was not about to let this conversation play in front of the staff.

“Sundae, give us a moment, please.”

She looked as though she had been slapped, then she nodded and slipped out of the room, giving Lilyanna a look.

The silence that followed was charged.

Lilyanna stood, with arms crossed, her chest rising and falling in quick breaths.

For some reason, she looked insanely attractive.

She bit her lip, drawing my attention to them.

“Lilyanna,” I rubbed her arm, at the same spot

    Kaelia's POV “I have to go now. I need to make a quick run for Asher,” Rachelle said as she turned and left, leaving me alone to face my unravelling life.My phone buzzed. I shouldn't check. Whatever I see could affect my mental health, just like Janet Vaughn.But I couldn't help it, so I pulled out my phone, unlocked the screen, and pulled up the blogs.And there they were.The photos.Side by side. The headlines stared back at me.Who is Freddy Montgomery’s mystery woman?Billionaire taken? Meet the Unknown Beauty who stole his heart. Montgomery Grand's Prince no more? Freddy spotted cosying up with a mystery blonde on Petty Island.My stomach twisted. But it was not just about the articles. But the comments, too.Freddy Montgomery is off the market? You have to be kidding me?So Petty Island is only off limits for the average people, then? Well, thank you for breaking my girlfriend’s heart.Why her? She's average at best. I'm crying real tears.

    Kaelia's POV “Can I have a burger, please?” I said to the woman behind the counter when it finally got to my turn after almost an hour of waiting.Well, the Montgomery Grand had a lot of staff, and it was on a first-come come first first-served basis.The canteen was buzzing with the usual rush hour noise. I could hear the faint sound of the kitchen radio playing a love song from years ago.I had only eaten a little breakfast in the morning. Well, the idea of coming to work to meet Landon was enough to make me lose my appetite.But now, I was so hungry I could eat an elephant.As the woman turned to get an order, I caught a scent I could only associate with one person.Landon.As I reached out to grab a bottle of water, I heard his voice.“You're stalling, Mrs. Montgomery.” He stood beside me, hands in his pockets. “I don't like to be kept waiting,”No shit. The woman passed the burger to me. I thanked her and carried it to an empty table, ignoring Landon.But he followed. As I exp

    Demi's POV As I got ready to meet William Montgomery, my thoughts were anything but calm, Zara stepped into my room, scrolling on her iPad. I was thrilled to have hired Zara. On the day of her interview, she had been so jittery and stammered so much that I almost gave up, but since I hired her, she had been nothing short of efficient.“Well?” I asked, draping a silk scarf over my shoulder. I was not happy about meeting William – I mean, I had skipped a night out with my girls just to meet him – but it was necessary.Things needed to be done, and the man was moving slowly.Ugh. Old people.“Are you just going to stand there and hawk, or do you have something for me?”Despite the fact that I appreciated Zara's work, I was not going to go easy on her. Being easy on people made them lazy.She flipped through pages of updates, “Montgomery Grand’s restructuring plans are moving faster than anticipated.” She said cautiously, as if she was trying not to set off a ticking time bomb. “Freddy

  • Being Mr CEO's Bride   Chapter 49

    Kaelia's POV It was all I could think about since that day. And even as I sat in the grand sitting room, listening to the calm tune the pianist was playing on the piano, nothing about me felt calm.Freddy sat across from me, his sleeves rolled up to his elbow, a glass of whiskey in his hand as he flipped through newspapers.He looked up at me suddenly, his grey eyes locking on mine as if they could read my every thought.“You're quiet,” He said softly, “That’s unlike you.”“I don't talk much,”“Not unless you're comfortable.”I forced a smile, “I'm fine. I'm just tired, I guess.”But that couldn't be farther from the truth. I was quiet because all I could think about was Landon's words from a week ago. Help me keep Demi happy, and I'll keep you safe. Refuse and…I knew it was only a matter of time before he started asking for an answer.These days at work, he had formed the habit of giving me a small smile and a nod as if we shared some sort of secret.I mean, we did, but ughhh, it

  • Being Mr CEO's Bride   Chapter 48

    Kaelia's POV All the external noise seemed to fade when I heard those words.My hands tightened around the paper plates, my eyes on Landon, scared that if I looked away, he would spill secrets.I looked around to make sure no one was watching us or eavesdropping. Landon, emboldened by his nonsense, stood far too close, and his smirk had not faltered.“I can see it in your face. You're trying to decide if I'm bluffing or not, aren't you?”My mouth felt dry. I wanted to deny, but for what use?Even if he was not sure of what he was saying, my reaction to it had confirmed his suspicions.“Landon –” I wanted to push him and bolt away, but I thought better of it. “I don't know what game you are playing at –”He cut in sharply, “This is not a game, Kaelia. And if I were you, I would stop pretending that you do not understand how serious this is.”Gone was the flirty tone he usually used on me. Now he meant business.And for the first time, I missed that tone.Behind us, I could hear Asher

  • Being Mr CEO's Bride   Chapter 47

    Kaelia's POV On my way back to the Montgomery Grand, I thought about the events that had happened in TJ's apartment. How much he had changed.How people could grow apart. After paying the cabbie, I clutched my bag and headed to the main entrance of the hotel with an urgency in my steps. I wanted to be in the staffroom before Asher got there. So I would take part in the little birthday surprise I had personally planned for him.But as I passed through the main entrance door, I almost bumped into someone coming from the opposite direction, only catching myself a few inches short. “Oh, I'm so —” I stopped, my breathing hitching as I came face to face with her.Demi Pierce.My heart stopped, and I turned away quickly.Did she recognise me? Could she tell?Could she see that it was me, Freddy's wife?I started walking away, my feet carrying me faster than my brain could process. Soon, I burst through the staff room door, grateful for the safety.The lights were dim, but the room buz
