CEO's Dare Bride Chapter 71 – Ace's Desperate Flight
“Ace. You need to sit down.”“I can’t,” Ace said, pacing the private lounge at the London airport. “I need to get back. Now.”Brian stood near the window, watching his friend unravel. He had traveled to London to see him when the whole news broke out. “The next flight leaves in thirty minutes. You’re already booked. There’s nothing more we can do until then.”Ace didn’t respond. He just stared at his phone. Another text sent. No reply.It was the seventeenth time he had tried to reach Emma since sunrise. Each call went to voicemail. His last message was simple:Emma, please answer. I can explain everything.He tried again:The photos are fake. Patricia set me up.Still nothing:I love you. Only you. Please believe me.Brian walked over. “You look like hell.”“I don’t care how I look,” Ace muttered. “I care about my wife.”Brian lowered his voice. “She’s not responding because she’s hurt. This... scandal is everywhere. Even the airport lounge has your face on the TV.”Ace’s eyes moved
CEO's Dare Bride Chapter 70 – The Board Coup
“Did you see what’s happening?” Rafael asked, voice low over the line.“I just saw it,” Nathan replied. “The media’s all over Ace. His name in lights, scandal everywhere.”“Perfect,” Rafael said, leaning back in his chair. The news was flashing across his monitor, photos, headlines, and gossip shows repeating the story. He allowed himself a small smile.“How’s Emma taking all this?” Rafael asked.“She’s locked herself up. She won’t see anyone,” Nathan answered quietly.“Excellent,” Rafael murmured. “Now we move on the board.”“What do you want me to do?” Nathan asked, uncertainty creeping in.“Nothing. Stay hidden. I’ll handle the board directly,” Rafael said firmly, hanging up.Rafael stared at his laptop, fingers poised over the keyboard. He had been preparing for this moment for weeks. The scandal was the trigger he’d needed. He opened a new email and began to type.Within the hour, Rafael had called five key Oceanic board members. He paced in his office as he dialed.“Mrs. Cole, t
CEO's Dare Bride Chapter 69 – Emma’s Breakdown
“Emma, you there? Please, just open the door,” Lola said softly, voice shaking a little.Emma sat on the floor by her office door, head leaning against the cold wood. She didn’t answer. She couldn’t.“I’m not leaving until you talk to me,” Lola said.Emma took a deep breath. She wiped her eyes, then slowly got up and unlocked the door. Lola stepped inside without waiting.Emma didn’t say anything at first. She just let the tears come.Lola wrapped her arms around her. “I’m here.”Emma sobbed. “I trusted him. We spoke countless times, but he never told me that he was still seeing Patricia,” she said, her voice breaking. “I really thought he loved me.”Lola pulled back a little and looked into Emma’s eyes. “Maybe he does. Or maybe he doesn’t. But right now, you need to think about you.”Emma shook her head. “He slept with Patricia. She’s pregnant with his baby. I saw the pictures, Lola. I saw the test.”Lola sat down beside her. “Photos can be faked, Emma. Tests can be forged. You know
CEO's Dare Bride Chapter 68 – Patricia’s Plan
Patricia sat in the hotel’s business center with her computer. She opened her phone and called the number she had saved under “Media Contact.”“Hello?” the woman answered.“This is Patricia Weston. I have something for you.”“What kind of something?” the voice asked.“A story. Ace Blacke. Exclusive.”The line was quiet for a moment.“I’m listening.”“It’s about his private life. He’s been having an affair.”“Do you have proof?”“Yes.”“With whom?”“ With Me,” Patricia said.There was silence again.“You were involved with Ace Blacke?”“I was. Recently. And I’m pregnant.”“Are you willing to go public?”“Yes. But only if you use the photos and the test results. I want it all out. Nothing left out.”“Can you prove the pregnancy?”“I took another test this morning,” Patricia said. “It’s dated. I can send a photo of it.”“And the affair?”“I have photos. From the London hotel. Clear and personal.”“How long ago?”“Two weeks plus.”The woman paused.“If this checks out, it’ll run tomorrow
CEO's Dare Bride Chapter 67 – Old Flames
“Emma?”She stopped and turned slowly.It was him.Louis Durand!He stood there with his hands in his coat pockets, looking right at her.Memories of their Law school days rushed in. She hasn't seen Louis since he left for Canada after their law school graduation.Emma blinked. “Louis?”He took a step toward her, a small smile on his face. “Hey, Em.”Lola looked from Louis to Emma, eyebrows raised. “Okay… I’ll go start the car.”Emma barely heard her. Her heart was racing.“What… what are you doing here?” she asked quietly.Louis held her gaze. There was something in his expression she couldn’t quite read.“I came back,” he said. “I missed you.”“Wow, it's been long, Louis,” Emma said“I know,” he said. “I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. About you. About our friendship.”She laughed under her breath. “You left so suddenly for Canada.

Julian knocked on the door before stepping in. “Emma, do you want me to run through the contracts one more time?”“Yes. Highlight the ones with deadlines this week.” She said.Julian placed a marked copy in front of her. “These three need your signature by tomorrow. The others can wait until next week.”Emma nodded. “Good. Draft the replies for these, but don’t send them until I review.”“Got it,” Julian said. He hesitated. “You’ve been here since morning. Do you want me to order food?”“I already ate something small,” Emma said. “But thank you.”Julian gave a short nod. “Alright. I’ll finish the draft notes then.”Just then, Emma’s phone rang. She glanced at it. It was Lola.Emma picked up at once. “Hey.”“Emma,” Lola’s voice came bright. “Tell me you’re not stuck in that office all night.”Emma sighs. “I might be.”“You won’t,” Lola said firmly. “I’m dragging you out tonight.
