Kaelia's POV

The day moved in slow motion after Freddy left.

I couldn't get our argument out of my mind, and as a result, I was just unable to do anything.

I sat in silence for a long time, trying to remember the last time a man had made me cry.

Never.

And this man has just drawn tears from me with only a few words.

My back pressed against the cool railing on the balcony. My eyes were dry now– but that was because the tears had stopped coming, not because I felt any better.

Everything still felt raw, as if it had all just happened.

I eventually went back into the room late in the afternoon. I sat on the bed, staring at the ring I had kept on the table and wondering where Freddy had gone and what he was doing.

Apart from the steady hum of the air-conditioning, the room remained silent.

I decided to take off my clothes and find something more comfortable to lounge in. After ransacking one box, I found a light cotton slip and put it on.

I poured myself a glass of water, then another.

  • Being Mr CEO's Bride   Chapter 76

    Kaelia's POV He leaned in closer to me, tracing the outline of my face with his fingers. “There was one time I was very much involved in car races. It was exciting. I won every single time. Then, one day, we took a path, and as usual, I was coming in first. Well, that was before a skunk came in my way out of nowhere,” He said, “I was not expecting it, so I swerved a little too hard and my car fell off a cliff.”I gasped.“My car was very damaged, and luckily for me, I came out with only a broken leg and a deep cut,”He lifted his arm to show me a scar I had not seen before. I ran my fingers around it. “I'm sorry about that,”He smiled, kissed me, then continued, “After my mom died, I gave up on living. What was it for? The person my life revolved around was gone. So I went off the hook.”“I started drinking—heavy drinking. But drinking was not enough. So I moved on to harder things,” He said, “Pills. Powder. Anything that took the edge off. I was a fucking disaster. I wanted to be

  • Being Mr CEO's Bride   Chapter 75

    Kaelia's POV As we made our way back to our suite, Freddy kept stealing glances at me.Even though I kept a straight face, I was enjoying it.It felt good to be loved.Not just to be loved but to be loved by the man everyone wanted.When we entered, I kicked off my sandals and let out a soft sigh as the cold air from the air conditioning got my face.Freddy locked the doorknob and turned to face me, “You hungry?”“Am I?”I was famished.We had spent all morning till late afternoon there, so my stomach was begging for some attention.Laughing, he placed an order for some food to be brought up to our suite.“Yeah. It’s Freddy. I want that seafood platter again. The one with the scallops and prawns. And the fruit tray. And that dessert she liked last time. Send it up now.” He smiled as he dropped the receiver, “It'll be here in fifteen minutes.”With that time, I decided to pop into the shower and wash up so I would feel fresh cause the beach water was definitely itching my skin.When

  • Being Mr CEO's Bride   Chapter 74

    Stefan's POV From the shadow of the private cabana nestled into the rocks, I watched them.The man I had seen with my wife.I had learned that his name was Freddy Montgomery.He was with his wife, a beauty, I must say, walking barefoot along the water's edge. She paused, pointing at a seashell in excitement while the idiot watched her like she was the goddamn sky.“There they go,” Casper said, watching them too. He raised a bottle of water to his lips and chugged it down. His gaze was hidden behind his sunglasses. “They're getting closer to the ridge. Should we follow?”“Don't be impatient, Casper. Let them enjoy the last of their peace. The launch party is in two days. We'll strike then.”He looked from me to the couple, then back, “Are you sure? We could take him down now. And no one will know about it,”I shook my head and looked at him. He knew how much being pushed irritated me. Only Chioma could do it. “The party,” I said. I don't intend to hide. I intend to set an example fo

  • Being Mr CEO's Bride   Chapter 73

    Kaelia's POV We rose at the same time and headed towards the door. Sandie stepped into the corridor, followed by me, then Arielle, Chioma, and Daisy.We walked down the corridor in hurried steps. As we turned around the corner, we saw her.She looked like she was in her late thirties, maybe.She was on her knees outside one of the guest rooms, clutching her phone as if it had just betrayed her.Mascara-stained tears steamed down her face, staining the top part of her dress where they landed.Her blonde hair was dishevelled, like she had just rolled out of bed.Beside her, a suitcase lay with its contents spilling out, and she was shaking.“What's going on?” Sandie asked, reaching out to touch the woman. More people had started coming out of their rooms. Some stuck their head out of their doors, and when they saw that the scene was not worth their attention, they went back into their rooms.I got on my knees beside her, “Ma’am. Ma’am, are you okay?”She continued wailing, giving me no

  • Being Mr CEO's Bride   Chapter 72

    Kaelia's POV Being flipped over like a pancake does take stress off your shoulders.I had never slept better in my life, and when I woke up the next morning, feeling achy and sore in all the right places, everything was perfect.I was alone on the bed, I knew that, but I still felt Freddy's presence around me. I could spend every day like this. In bed, making love with a hot guy and shutting out the rest of the world.But that was not possible.I reached out for my phone on the nightstand to remind myself what day it was because being cracked so hard could also make you lose track of time, too.The first thing I saw was a text from Sandie. It read, "I need your help ASAP." Come to my suite – Room 23.It was sent five minutes ago. I thought of ignoring it. The last thing I wanted anyway was to leave this hot man pacing the room in flimsy pants to walk to wherever Sandie was.Unfortunately, I was a girl's girl, and if a girl needed my help, well, she could call me up at delivery, and

  • Being Mr CEO's Bride   Chapter 71

    Kaelia's POV WARNING!!!THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS EXPLICIT SEXUAL CONTENT. READERS DISCRETION IS ADVISED.I blinked. “What?”Not that I didn't hear what he said at first, but it was his voice. The way he said it.His jaw flexed. “You heard me. Take. It. Off.”It was a command, not a request. It sent a rush of heat between my legs. I felt myself getting slicker.His order seemed to set free something primal in me. I sat up slowly. I pulled the thin straps of the dress off my shoulders, trembling as I peeled it down, inch by inch, exposing my skin to the heat of his gaze. My breasts spilled free, round and perky. My nipples were already hard, and his eyes darkened like he was starving.By the time the dress slid off my hips, I was down to just my lace thong, and I was shaking with need. “God, look at you,” he muttered, dragging a hand through his hair. “You’re so beautiful. You have no idea what you do to me.”“Then show me,” I whispered.And that is exactly what he did. He climbed on
