Freddy's Pov

As much as I wanted to deny it, Lilyanna's face stayed out of my mind all day.

Not that I loved her. She was too chaotic for me to fall in love with her.

But for some reason, I couldn't stop thinking about her.

“Freddy, are you here with us?” My father, Richard Montgomery, said, giving me a stern look.

I sat straighter and cleared my throat.

He turned to a blonde woman by my left, “Shanelle. What do you have for us?”

She rose and moved towards the front. The projector displayed some pictures.

“First of all. The Q3 numbers are in and we are outperforming projections.” She said with a toothy smile.

“Revenue’s up by fifteen percent, year over year. The new conference center is paying off. Guest satisfaction hit ninety-eight percent in the last month, which is the highest in the last seven years. We are heading for a hundred in the next month. We’re also seeing a 15% increase in repeat bookings, which means loyalty’s trending right.”

Murmurs of approvals rose from the investo

  • Being Mr CEO's Bride   Chapter 109

    William’s POV It had been years – no, decades, since I last saw Jessica. Yet as I stood in front of the faded door of her apartment, memories rushed back like welcome ghosts.I wondered what she looked like now. Then, she had long blonde hair that everyone admired, full lips, and a figure that was a showstopper.In fact, it was not hard to see the reason why George loved her so much. She was not the nicest girl out there. I guess her rudeness came with her being the prettiest. I lifted my hand and knocked, then realised that I could have just used the doorbell. For a moment, there was only silence. And just as I was about to turn away, I heard the sound of footsteps. Next was the sound of doors unlocking, and then the door swung open just enough to reveal her face. Time has obviously not been unkind to her. She looked just as beautiful as before.She was older now, though, with hair streaked with grey. But her eyes still carried that familiar defiance I remembered too well.Whe

  • Being Mr CEO's Bride   Chapter 108

    Kaelia's POV It had been days since the unexpected apology video went viral. My mom and TJ had said it was a relief that the woman had realized her wrongdoing and come publicly to apologize. Maybe that would deter other people. But I saw the terror in her eyes and I knew she had not done that simply because she ‘realized her wrongdoing’.Moreso, I didn't believe that just because one person has apologised, it meant that other people would realise they were being terrible.The internet did not forgive. They just waited for another chance to strike.I could almost feel them – staring at me, judging me – already plotting what they'd do to me, what they'd say if they ever met me in the street. That morning, I sat in a full-length dress – as was my style these days – scrolling aimlessly through the comments on the video. No matter how hard or how many times I promised myself I would not look, I always went back scrolling.‘I don't know, guys, something about it gives the impression t

  • Being Mr CEO's Bride   Chapter 107

    Demi’s POV The video played endlessly on repeat.The woman sitting behind a huge desk, looking scared as hell, spoke, her voice trembling as she tabled her apology.“I honestly didn't mean any harm. I was wrong for recording her, wrong for posting. I didn't know who she really was, and I regret the pain I caused.”With a glass of wine swirling lazily in my hand, I leaned back against the couch. My lips curved into a small smile. “Of course you regret it now,” I said, my eyes narrowing into slots. “Freddy must have scared the living shit out of you.”I paused the video at the exact moment when the woman bowed her head. Anyone who looked closely enough could tell that the fear in her eyes was not caused by guilt. It was terror.I suspected that Freddy had cornered her and threatened the shit out of her, and that's why she was making this apology.I laughed. It was amusing to see that he was still protecting her. Even after everything she had done, he was still protecting that little s

    Freddy's Pov It had been days. Days since I'd last seen Kaelia. Since I'd last walked out of her house.I didn't want to think about her. I told myself I'd wipe my hands clean of her, send her what she'd ‘earned’ and just live my life away from her.But lies were easy to say and hard to believe.Now, as I sat in my quiet office, I found myself replaying that damn video.The one Hannah has sent to me says ago. The one that had been circulating online. I clicked on the okay button again, and the frozen picture of Kaelia began moving.Not the bright Kaelia I knew, this one was a broken version.Her eyes looked tired, glossy with unshed tears.The woman's voice came, sharp and accusing, spitting venom as she called Kaelia a thief, a liar, and an impersonator.The camera was angled in a way that it captured all of Kaelia's expressions as the words settled in. Now this video was all over the internet. The world got to see her shatter.And God help me, it shattered me too.I pushed again

  • Being Mr CEO's Bride   Chapter 105

    Williams POVThe study was quiet, apart from the faint occasional cackle from the fireplace.I sat on the leather chair, my whiskey untouched, and for the first time in a long time, alcohol could not soothe me. Carlos’s revelation still sat heavily in my chest. Kaelia was not just Freddy's unfortunate lover. She was my blood. I leaned forward and placed my elbow on the polished desk. I ran the other free hand down my face. She was the illegitimate daughter of my stepbrother.I could feel myself being dragged back to memories I thought I had successfully put behind me. Memories of my brother, George. George had been the golden son. He was the one who drew attention as soon as he walked into the room. Everyone adored him. Men wanted to work with him; women would do anything to get into his bed. He just had this Charisma I could never really compete with, no matter how hard I tried.And it stung more than anything.To see such a boy, just come in and try to take everything that w

  • Being Mr CEO's Bride   Chapter 104

    Kaelia's POV On Wednesday, I decided it was time for me to get off the couch and finally take control of my life.I was languishing away, and Mom had started complaining about me moping. So I decided to get to the store and do some grocery shopping. So I grabbed my hoodie, pulled it over my head, and slipped out of the apartment with nothing but my phone and a set of keys. I didn’t even tell Mom. She was resting, and the last thing I needed was for her to start asking questions about where I was going. The morning air was cold and bit against my skin, but at least it was not suffocating.The streets were not busy either. Just a handful of cars here and there and a couple of people dragging shopping bags along. I mostly kept my head down, except when I got to places where I needed to keep my head up so I wouldn't bump into something.I had just turned around the corner, heading to the small grocery store where I had always done my grocery shopping before moving away, when it happe
