Being Mr CEO's Bride Chapter 28
Kaelia's POV I felt utterly disrespected.I could have stood up for myself and put this man in his place, but Freddy squeezed my hand, stopping me.William raised an eyebrow, smiling condescendingly. “Touchy, are we? I’m just saying what’s true. You’ve got a crisis on your hands, Freddy. You don’t have time for distractions.”“My wife is not a distraction,” Freddy spat as I rubbed his arm, looking the part of the obedient wife. “She's here because I want her here. If you have a problem with that, you can leave.”The room went quiet. Sera and one other guy, whose name I didn't know, exchanged glances. I felt proud.I couldn't remember the last time someone stood up for me like this. And it felt darn good. William held my gaze for a moment, his smile fading.“Very well then. “Handle it your way. But you’d better fix this, Freddy. The board’s watching, and so am I.”Freddy ignored him, “What do we know about the documents? Can we trace where Demi got them?”Sera turned her laptop tow
Being Mr CEO's Bride Chapter 27
Freddy's Pov The ride to Montgomery Grand felt longer than usual, but Lilyanna's hand in mine provided me with some sort of comfort.Her fingers laced tightly with mine, and she flashed me a smile at intervals. The phone call has been brief but brutal.It was my father at the other end of the line.“You need to get to the office now. It’s the European merger. It’s bad.”It was fucking midnight.I hadn't told Kaelia much. Just enough to keep her from asking, but she had noticed the shift in me.We pulled up at the hotel, and I stepped out and helped Lilyanna out of the car.She looked at me with a worried expression. I felt bad for having dragged her into this. She already had her job, and I was about to stress her with mine.I kept her hand in mine as we walked to the elevator and took a silent ride to the executive floor. The elevator dinged, and the door slid open to my office floor. We walked down the quiet, empty hallway to my office. On getting there, I was surprised to see Ha

KAELIA'S POV As I listened to him speak, a big black fly buzzed over my head. It hovered for a while, then settled squarely on my nose.My heart lurched, and my body turned rigid for a while as my brain tried to process the fact that an insect was sitting comfortably on my face.I started shaking - more like shivering - as I tried not to scream.“Freddy,” I hissed in a trembling voice, “ Get it off me now.”He moved closer to me and swatted the fly away gently.“Easy, Lily, it's gone.”The fly buzzed off, and my cheeks flushed with embarrassment.“Don't even make a sound,” I said when I saw his amused face.“Wouldn't dream of it,” He said, but his smile betrayed him.“Let's go. If something else lands on my face, best believe I'm peeling my skin off trying to get it out.”We stepped out from the shed, the cold night air hitting my face.My eyes narrowed against the wind. Freddy's hand hovered over mine, not quite touching it.I didn't know if I should slap it away or hold it.He tur

Kaelia's POV Both turned to look at me. Demi’s smile faltered a bit when she saw me, and her eyes narrowed ever so slightly.“Kaelia,” He looked relieved to see me, “You okay?” I stepped closer to him and rested my hand in the exact spot where Demi's hand had been.Freddy rubbed my hand. “I'm fine,” my gaze shifted to Demi, “I just thought I should join my husband for a bit.”I cocked my head and asked in a sarcastic tone, “You don't mind, do you?” We had a stare-down for seconds, then she smiled and raised her glass. “Of course not. We were just talking, catching up. You know, like old friends. I nodded, “Mm. I've heard a whole lot about old friends lately. Fuck off.”I felt Freddy tense beside me. Surprised, pretty boy?Demi laughed, to mask her embarrassment, “Well, I’ll let you two have your moment. Freddy, we’ll talk later. And Lilyanna, take a chill pill. We've all had a taste of him.”I wanted to pull her back by the hair, snap those spaghetti straps that held her dress in
Being Mr CEO's Bride Chapter 24
KAELIA'S POV From across the room, I watched Freddy and Demi's interaction as the fizz of my sparkling water stung my tongue.As I leaned on the makeshift bar, I thought about how perfect they looked together.They looked like a power couple.I could never.Demi's red dress stood out in a sea of muted colours. Freddy's smile was stiff as Demi laughed and touched his arm, sliding her hands up and down his biceps.But he didn't push her away. My grip on my glass tightened until my knuckles became white. I forced myself to look away and focus on something else.Why did it hurt so much?Why did seeing them like that make me feel pain in my chest?A couple Freddy had introduced me to earlier smiled at me as they passed by, and I smiled back.In this dress, Sundae has chosen, I knew I looked every bit like Mrs. Montgomery.But inside? I was unravelling. The whole thing with Demi and Sundae was affecting me more than it should have.“Enjoying the view?” A man's voice broke the train of m
Being Mr CEO's Bride Chapter 23
Freddy's Pov Silence hung over us for moments after she said that name. I know it was only a matter of time before Sundae told Lilyanna about our past.She wore it like a shield, that girl.Lilyanna’s blue eyes were trained on me, waiting, expecting an answer.“She told you about it?” I asked, chewing on my food.“The real question is, why didn't you tell me?” She said “Lilyanna, answer me.”She looked away, staring at nothing in particular, “Well, she didn't exactly tell me. She left her phone out for me to see.”I rubbed my temples. Sounds exactly like something Sundae would do.“Lilyanna, what you saw on Sundae’s phone - it's not what you think.”Lilyanna stared back at me, waiting. I ran a hand through my hair, searching for the right words to say.“That photo… It’s old. Years old. Sundae and I - we had a brief thing, long before you. It was a mistake, the most toxic thing I’ve ever been in.” I paused as bitter memories flashed in my mind - Sunday trying to jump off a cruise bec
