Being Mr CEO's Bride Chapter 36
Kaelia's POV Staying away from Freddy was one thing. But staying away from Freddy and Landon was a whole ass job.Working at the Montgomery Grand was slowly starting to become hell, and more than once, I thought about resigning.But I loved my job.I loved being able to solve issues.It was my birthday today. Normally, my birthday was a sad time for me. Because I'd wake up feeling like a failure. This year, however, was different. I woke up to a small royal blue box lying beside me. I guessed it was a diamond-studded piece.But no, it was even better. It was a locket. With a tiny photo inside.A photo of me. It's probably not the most beautiful thing in the world, but it felt special to me. I had grown up without all this. I barely received presents on my birthday. I used to receive a lot right before my father died.But after that, mom could barely afford much.Next to the box, I found a letter attached to a single Juliet rose. It was handwritten by Freddy. Happy Birthday t

Kaelia's POV Lying is hard.It eats you up slowly.And when you start, it's almost impossible to stop.Today, Freddy and I were going to my new workplace, which I swore countless times was real.Last night, as we ate dinner, I had told him that since he now knew my real job, he had to meet my co-workers because they were dying to meet him.I did this in a bid to earn his trust again.I thought if I showed him to my co-workers, it would give him the idea that I was not lying this time.Freddy was not so much in support of the idea of meeting them.“It isn't necessary, Lily. I believe you,”But blame my deep-seated trust issues for the fact that I did not believe him for a moment.I pressed on until he finally gave in.As the car made the last turn, heading to InkTickler, I prayed silently to every deity known to man that the Asian lady who owned the shop would not mess this up.How had I met her?Well, fate. Or should I say a Google search and sheet desperation?I had gone online, sea

William's POVI studied the young man as he spoke. The room has grown tense in an instant, waiting for the truth to come to light.Landon's words piqued my interest. His smug expression was not just arrogance. No. It was not often that a mid-level employee like Landon dared to speak out like this.He knew something. At least, something that he thought was important to us.He believed it was worth the risk.The room felt heavy now. Freddy stood at the side, glaring at Landon. Kent's expression was unreadable. Sera, on her part, had paused mid-scroll on her phone.“Go on then,” I said with an edge that made Freddy glance at me sideways. But Landon shook his head. His eyes darted to Freddy.“I would like to speak to you in private, Sir.”Freddy stiffened, “Whatever you have to say, Landon, say it here to our hearing. Don't play games.”Landon said nothing. His eyes darted between me and Freddy as if weighing his options, then he shook his head again.“Enough,” I said, my voice cutting

Kaelia's POV We were greeted by low murmurs as we stepped into the grand hall. The Montgomery Grand’s new wing was exquisite, imposing, just like Freddy.His hand rested possessively on the small of my back as we walked in.The moment we crossed the threshold, a man in a navy suit approached Freddy with an outstretched hand and a too-bright smile.“Montgomery,” He said warmly, “We’ve been waiting for you all evening. May I have a word?”Freddy leaned closer to me, then murmured, “Excuse me. I'll only be a moment,”I nodded and flashed him a small smile as he left, unease forming a knot in my stomach.I felt exposed without him beside me.I felt the weight of eyes on me, assessing me as if waiting to pounce. The whispers, the stares – they were unsettling.I needed something to steady me. So I walked across the room to the bar.The bar was dimly lit, lined with rows of glittering bottles.I slid into a stool, exhaling quietly as I ordered a glass of wine. The first sip calmed my ne

Kaelia's POV The morning sun was out by the time I woke up the next morning. I blinked against the light, a bit disoriented, but the pain in my ankle brought me to reality immediately.Freddy.The way he had carried me in last night. The feeling of his lips against my forehead, him paying no attention to Sundae, was a reassurance to me, no doubt.My fingers went to the spot he had kissed. I was not supposed to feel this way.No. Not about him. Everything between us was built on lies.But even as I tried to deny it, it was getting clearer each day. A faint sound drew my attention. My head snapped towards the direction, and that's when I saw her.Sundae.She was sitting at my dresser, poised, like she had been there all night.Her presence, the way she sat, the way she stared at me was unsettling in a way I couldn't put into words.She sat still, her chin resting slightly on her hand. Her eyes were unreadable as they bore into me.“Your bath water is ready,” She said after a moment.
Being Mr CEO's Bride Chapter 31
Kaelia's POV When Freddy asked about the lie, I thought he had found out everything. My heart stopped, and my mind raced with images of him knowing that I was not Lilyanna Russo but only a nobody playing a part in his billionaire world. For a moment, I almost told him the whole truth. I'm grateful I didn't do that.“Freddy, I lied about Plume because… my real job’s nothing fancy. I thought you’d think less of me.”“Why would I think less of you because of your job?”I faced him, my voice barely steady, “It's unbecoming of a billionaire's wife.”He took a deep breath, his eyes softening, “Lily, I don't care about that. It's people out there that make those rules, and they do not apply to me.”He reached out and held my cold hands. His grip was firm but gentle. “Tell me what it is you do, Lily. I don't want the lies anymore.”I swallowed hard, “Okay, please promise me you wouldn't judge,”“I promise,”I nodded then cleared my throat, “The truth is, I'm…I'm a tattoo artist.”A minute
