Betrayed by Husband, I married the CEO

Chapter 1 Uu…uh “Tell me, what do you want?” The man whispered with a soft growl that danced between desire and control. Mmmh! Ahhh! Please… “Please for what?” Fu…” Say it, baby…mmmh. “Stan…pls, can you? Ahhh!” “Seems you love being punished so much?” He whispered into her ear, his fingers sliding further into her core, drawing another sharp gasp that reverberated through the room. “Stan…please fuck. Me.” “At your service, baby.” He whispered. Then the soft moans and breathy gasps followed, flesh hitting against flesh, hot and needy. Their voices were in sync as it spilled out of the slightly open door like warm air escaping into the quiet hallway. It was a welcome song Alicia received the moment she stepped into the sitting room. She followed the sound of the voice, and surprisingly, it was coming from the bedroom. Evelyn's bedroom, her gaze narrowed slightly, her hands tightened around the strap of her handbag as her heels clicked once against the t

“I think you’re not worthy.” The words stabbed hard into Alicia's chest like a sharpened sword drawing blood. For a moment, Alicia didn't move, she couldn't breath and didn't even blink. It was as if her entire body had forgotten how to function. The words reechoed a few times in her head while she carefully analyzed each one. “Not worthy?” “Did Stanley just say she wasn't worthy…not worthy to carry his baby. Oh! Wait, he said not worthy of being their surrogate. Would she even want to be their surrogate? She wasn't out of her mind. Then she slowly almost mechanically shifted her gaze toward Evelyn’s stomach.The subtle way her hand rested there, protectively, possessive and proud. Alicia’s fingers curled against the floor.Her nails pressed into her palm, hard enough that hurts but she welcomed the pain. At this moment, it reminded her she wasn't in the dreamland and that every pain she felt was a reality that couldn't be erased. Moreso, she was alive. Even as everything she

The road at that time of the night had always been quiet and less busy.For Alicia, it felt like the perfect moment to take a walk and lose herself in the beauty of Cortland City under the soft glow of streetlights. The calm of the night should have brought her a strange sense of comfort after the betrayal, making it a rare opportunity she seldom had.However, nothing had prepared her for what was about to happen.She had only intended to cross to the other side of the road. She remembered glancing to her right and then to her left before stepping forward.That was the last clear memory she had.Everything after that moment disappeared into darkness.******Daniel sat at the back seat of his car, staring down at the unconscious woman who had been placed beside him.A faint and unfamiliar emotion passed through his mind, but his face remained completely expressionless.His sharp eyes moved across her body, carefully assessing every wound and scratch visible on her skin. From his quic

The doctor gave a small nod in acknowledgment, visibly relieved by Daniel’s response. The tension that had been sitting heavily on his shoulders seemed to ease slightly after hearing Daniel agree without further arguments.“I’ll have her moved to the ward,” the doctor said promptly.“Make it a private ward,” Daniel cut in swiftly as he slid his hand into his pockets, his tone calm but firm enough to leave no room for objections.No matter how complicated or inconvenient this situation was becoming, he was not prepared to babysit a sick woman in the middle of a crowded general ward where curious eyes and wandering tongues would never rest.And more importantly, he had absolutely no intention of giving the media something new to feast on. The press had already spent years circling around his family like vultures, waiting for even the smallest scandal tied to the King household.It was already a miracle that the condition attached to securing his inheritance had only required him to secu

Daniel exited the hospital and released a long breath of relief. The cool evening breeze washed over him gently and, for the first time in hours, the heavy smell of antiseptic slowly faded from his senses. The atmosphere outside felt entirely different from the suffocating tension inside the emergency ward. The faint sounds of passing cars echoed from the distance while the dim lights surrounding the hospital compound cast long shadows across the pavement. He lifted his wrist slightly and glanced at the watch strapped around it. The night was already far gone. The investor meeting he had carefully arranged earlier had already been canceled. For a brief moment, Daniel did not know whether he should feel grateful or irritated about Alicia’s sudden disruption. Before returning to the country, he had spent weeks arranging schedules and organizing meetings with extra care. Every detail had been planned carefully because he knew he could not afford mistakes during his first few w
