2026-07-06 15:01:31Without any further excuses, Adrian straightened himself as his father's stern voice echoed through the office.
"I apologize, Father. I only just got into my office, and then..."
"Excuses... excuses. That is all I ever hear from you. But anyway, have a seat."
Adrian obeyed without another word. Alex also took a seat while their father settled comfortably into his late brother's office chair. The room was filled with an uneasy silence. Rather than reacting, Adrian remained

Coffee, Chaos and the Ceo Chapter forty-nine: Finalized
Two Days LaterBeaumont Urban EstatesIt had been two days since Adrian had left the house and he had still not returned. Evelina had tried calling him several times, but he had never answered any of her calls. She knew exactly why.Adrian was upset with her after finding out that she was still legally married to her husband.She hated that she had made Adrian feel betrayed, but at the same time, she could not completely blame herself. She had never lied to him about whether she was single or married because he had never asked."That is because you made him believe you were single," her mind reminded her. Evelina shook her head from side to side, trying to force the horrible thought away.As she walked through the hallway of Beaumont Urban Estates, every employee greeted her warmly. They smiled at her with excitement and respect because, in their minds, she was the CEO's fiancée. Everyone suddenly felt the need to be extra kind to her."Evelina..." She stopped walking when she saw Eme
Coffee, Chaos and the Ceo Chapter forty-eight: Married
Adrian's MansionThe moment the driver brought the vehicle to a stop, Evelina was the first to rush out. She hurried inside the mansion without looking back and made her way straight to her room.The entire drive had been silent.Adrian had chosen not to say another word. He did not want to step on Evelina's toes any more than he already had. At that very moment, she hated him more than anything, and he did not blame her. After all, he had failed to follow through with the plan they had discussed with Diana.The moment Evelina entered her room, she shut the door behind her and leaned her back against it. She closed her eyes and took several deep breaths, trying to calm herself.After a few moments, she walked over to her nightstand and pulled open the top drawer. Reaching inside, she took out a large brown envelope. She did not have to open it to know what was inside. Every single night before going to bed, she would open the envelope and take out the document hidden inside.The divor
Coffee, Chaos and the Ceo Chapter forty-seven: No choice
After the celebration in the boardroom, both Adrian and Evelina returned to his office. The moment the door closed behind them, Evelina's anxiety returned full force.She paced the length and breadth of Adrian's office over and over again, unable to remain still. Every few seconds, she ran a hand through her hair before turning around and walking in the opposite direction.Unfortunately for her, she had overheard every word Alex had said to Adrian in the boardroom. His accusation that their relationship was fake continued to echo inside her mind, making her chest tighten with every passing second.If Alex managed to prove that their relationship was nothing more than an act, then Adrian would lose the merger and if Adrian lost the merger, he would never return the café. Which meant her father would come back from his cruise only to discover that the café was no longer theirs.The thought alone terrified her. She feared what the shock might do to his health."Evelina... I need you to c
Coffee, Chaos and the Ceo Chapter forty-six: Uninvited Alex
"Evelina and I are getting married in two weeks and we have already set the date for our wedding." The moment those words left Adrian's mouth, Evelina felt her entire body go cold.Neither Diana, Emelda, nor Evelina had discussed anything about getting married. Adrian had done what he always did... gone completely off script. As soon as she heard those words, alarm bells began ringing inside Evelina's head.Two weeks, the so called wedding was only two weeks away.Their contract stated that they would pretend to be engaged for six months. Almost one month had already passed, leaving five more months before they were supposed to end their arrangement and walk away from each other's lives.Now Adrian had suddenly announced that they were getting married.Evelina slowly turned her head toward Emelda, who was clapping her hands together in excitement while celebrating the announcement. Diana also looked pleasantly surprised before smiling and congratulating Adrian. Neither of them had any
Coffee, Chaos and the Ceo Chapter forty-five: Bomb shell
Adrian's Mansion"This is ridiculous! It's not true!" Adrian yelled as he threw everything within reach across his home office. Emelda and Evelina watched him in silence.The only person shaken by his behavior was Emelda. Evelina, on the other hand, remained completely unmoved.It was obvious that Adrian was angry. The woman he had helped that night at the hotel was now blackmailing him, threatening to go to the media with a story she believed would make headlines.Looking at Adrian, Evelina could see that his face was red with anger. She understood why he was upset, but losing his temper was not going to solve anything."I think you need to calm down because getting upset is not helping," Evelina snapped.The moment those words left her mouth, Adrian turned to face her."Are you kidding me? This woman is accusing me of things I never did, possibly because that's the only way she can make money.""But you went to
Coffee, Chaos and the Ceo Chapter forty-four: Trouble
"Father... what are you doing here?" Evelina asked, excitement filling her voice.The doctor had not told her that they would be releasing her father from the hospital today, yet there he was, standing behind the counter, working as though he had never been away for even a single day.The moment she saw his familiar face, her heart overflowed with joy.Without a second thought, Evelina hurried behind the counter and wrapped her arms around the older man as tightly as she could. Visiting him in the hospital and speaking to him over the phone every day had never been enough. She needed her father to be physically there with her. She had missed his comforting presence more than she had ever realized.When she finally pulled away from the embrace, a single tear rolled down her father’s cheek. He had missed her just as much."I missed you so much, my dear daughter. There are so many things I want to tell you. But first of all... congratulations on your engagement," her father said, his voi
