Being Mr CEO's Bride Chapter 59
Kaelia's POV Goosebumps filled my skin as I looked around.It felt wrong. It felt like I was stepping onto sacred ground that I had no right to tread.Moonlight poured in through the large windows, spilling onto the rows of bookshelves and the huge table.What was I doing? I asked myself again.My heart pounded fiercely. “This is a mistake,” I whispered to myself.But Landon's threat echoing in my skull pushed me further.The real question was, even if I found something, would I be able to hand it over?I stared at Freddy's desk, my eyes assessing the books I saw there.What would happen if he caught me?How would I explain that I had invaded his private space to find something that could ruin him?Would he throw me out of the house?“I'd certainly end up in jail,” I said to myself, the shiver in my voice surprising me. The thought of what Freddy would do if he found me here burned worse than any threat Landon had made.But it was not just about me anymore.The world now knew that

Freddy's Pov Lilyanna looked up at me and blinked, not quite catching the meaning.“Right.” She said, moving her hands beside her, “Maybe I should try the guest rooms.”I chuckled, amused at her interpretation of what I said. Of course, she didn't get the joke.I swept up the stack of books and files in one arm. “Not quite what I meant,” I said to her, “Follow me.”I started walking towards my side of the mansion, and she followed hesitantly.We walked down the way to my office in silence, but this time, it wasn't an uncomfortable silence.I heard the faint rustle of her robe as we walked, her small occasional hums, too.I caught the sweet scent of her perfume. The urge to glance back at her was so strong, but I kept my eyes forward, trying to turn my attention away from the discrepancies in the accounts that I had noticed.We came to a stop at a white door at the end of the hallway. I pushed the door open and gestured to her to go in first.She hesitated again – obviously, she did

Kaelia's POV That night, I couldn't sleep.Despite the fact that I had taken four baths in the last two hours, my eyes remained open. Lilyanna's words lingered in my mind.Landon's threat followed suit.I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, looking at every single detail of it. The clock on my nightstand ticked steadily. I glanced at it -- 12:07 AM.Four hours since dinner. Four hours since I retired to my room. Lilyanna's words replayed in my mind. You're not his equal, Lilyanna.You should have been with TJ. He's more suitable for you.And then there was Landon. I dug my nails into my pillow, exhaling shakily. I was starting to break under the pressure. I glanced at the clock again. 12:40 am. Yet, I wasn't sleepy.I swung my legs out of the bed and grabbed my robe off the dresser. I wore it, tying it loosely as I stepped barefoot on the cool floors. Maybe I should walk. It would help.If I paced the mansion's endless hallway long enough, I was sure the thoughts in my head wou

Kaelia's POV During lunch break the next day, I went to meet Lilyanna at Brew Haven. It was so easy to spot her with her bright coloured clothes that contrasted with the shop's dull colours. She was sitting by the window, staring out of it, her shoulders tense. Her golden hair caught the sunlight beautifully.The coffee shop on its own felt too quiet, quite in contrast to the turmoil that was going on inside me. It had a faint smell of coffee and vanilla pastries, but even though I loved vanilla pastries, it didn't help either.I hesitated for a while before finally walking over, unsure of what version of Lilyanna was waiting for me today.Her eyes landed on me, and a bright smile appeared on her face, slightly easing the tension I felt as a result of the tone of her text last night.She stood slowly, "Hi, Kaelia. You're here,"I smiled and let her kiss my cheeks lightly. She smelled of flowers. "Yeah. I left work,"She signalled to the waiter to come over, and I ordered a latte an

Kaelia's POV My phone screen blurred for what seemed like the fifth time today, but I refused to let the tears fall. Not here, not now.I was standing outside the main entrance door at the InkTickler, waiting for Freddy to pick me up. I could have been inside, but apparently, Mei Lin and her workers had seen the blog posts. I knew because the energy was different, the air was filled with questions they weren't asking, and explanations I was not ready to give.So when I had had enough of the side glances, I stepped outside instead.I blinked rapidly and folded my lips into a thin line, trying to stop the threatening tears as my eyes scanned the letters and numbers I was seeing.At first, I had thought I was strong enough to withstand anything. I had told myself that there was no way they would get to me.If I had survived bullying back in elementary school, what was this compared to that?But that was hours ago. Before the comments start flooding in.Each more vile than the last.N
