Contract Marriage Between Mr C.E.O & Kleptomaniac Chapter 109
Jake's POVIt turns out that the meeting did not go as planned. I wasn’t even able to say a word in my defense before the whole room erupted. Accusations were flying from different angles; I heard even stranger things about myself.Jeff had to lead me out of the room to a safe place, away from the eyes of the angry mob. I was unable to speak to my mom or sister. I needed to ask about my father’s health. He should be here to take over the company, but it looked like that wasn’t going to happen soon.Once again, I was summoned to the company to speak for myself so the board members could decide if I should be thrown out of the company or not.But instead of Jeff and the security men leading me towards the private elevator, they wanted me to take the front door. To show the people, the media, that I would boldly take back my position, not caring what was being said about me.To me, it sounded like a crazy idea, because for some reason I wasn't aware of it, the mob gathered was angry. It

Selena's POVMy heart was breaking with every passing second in the car. I fought back tears, even though he seemed concerned when I mentioned the kids. He was angry I showed up to save him, but what else did he expect?"Thank you," he said, looking out the window, his hands still clenched in his lap.I switched gears on my phone, requesting a change of clothes be prepared at the apartment.Silence fell comfortably between us as the car entered the private property and parked in front of the house."Hope we weren't followed?" I asked the driver."No ma'am, I made sure to lose them," the driver replied."Good."I opened my door and stepped out. Jake followed silently. Inside, I pointed him towards the bathroom."There should be some clothes in the closet over there," I said."When did you arrange all this?" Jake asked."In the car.""How long have you been here?""I arrived this morning. Go ahead and take a bath," I urged, leaving the room before he could bombard me with more questions

Jake's POVI can’t believe she divorced Diego. What was she thinking? Diego will not just let her go like that.“Selena... What will I do with you?”She looked so soft and innocent right now; she must feel the way my heartbeat was racing. Her hands on my chest were burning me in a nice way, making my thoughts wild.This was not the time to be feeling this way, but right now, I was lost in her eyes.“Kiss me,” she whispered.Did I hear her correctly? Kiss her? Of course, that is what I wanted to do the moment I stepped into the room and saw her frowning while staring down at her laptop.To kiss her senseless and till we both lose our minds. I saw a hint of disappointment in her expression, then leaned closer. She wanted this, I wanted it, so why stall?Our lips touched, and all hell broke loose. She must have been so overwhelmed that her legs gave way, but I steadied her with my hands at her back. Her hands went around my neck to help hold herself up.She moaned and opened up to me; ou

Rose's POVWas it true? All those rumors, the news articles about Jake? And the latest one I saw—he must have felt so humiliated. What was actually going on?I've been trying to reach Jake for months now, but I couldn’t; he doesn't care about me because he should have at least tried to talk to me. I need to know for sure if all the stories about him are true.Who can I reach out to? His mother or sister? Kelvin... I brought out my cell phone and dialed his number. He picked up on the second ring."Rose?""Hello, Kelvin." It’s been a long time since we spoke to each other. I had been on a trip for some weeks away from town and hadn’t kept in touch with Kelvin at all.He must think I am terrible for ignoring him the way I did, though he has always been a great help to me."It’s been a while since I heard from you.""Yes, I was out of town.""Can we catch up? I'll meet you at the bar," he suggested.That was perfect. "Alright then, see you there." We ended the call, and I wore my coat an

Selena's POVI caught the last bit of Jake's conversation with his mother and just couldn't pretend I hadn't eavesdropped on his phone call. I almost had sex with Jake Marino again!What was wrong with me? I scolded myself a lot when Jake finally left me alone in the kitchen. It was awkward having him there; who knows what we would have ended up discussing if the housekeeper hadn't knocked when she did.I won't pretend to myself that I didn't enjoy that bit of romance. It’s been a long time since I gave myself up to a guy like that. Not even Diego, who was still waiting for me to be free with him until the day we divorced.Was I starving for intimacy? Was that why I almost lost control? I shook my head in regret and pity for myself. So, back to Jake's conversation—I thought his father was dead!Did his mother remarry? I don’t think so because that wasn't in the news. So it must be his biological father. When he ended his call, I asked him in surprise, "Your dad is alive?"He looked up

Jake's POVI stayed in my room, even though all I wanted was to seduce Selena until she gave in. But I was giving her the chance to choose. I wouldn't force her. She seemed like she wanted to be with me, so I decided to wait for her to make the first move.I fell asleep eventually, but woke with a start at the sound of someone talking. Shirtless, I walked to the living room. The light was still on, and Selena sat in front of her laptop, engrossed in a conversation.From her words, I gathered she was talking to her mother. I stayed hidden, listening intently. Selena sounded worried about the kids."They really didn't cry today?" Mrs. Dacosta's voice filtered through the speaker."I miss them so much, Mom," Selena replied, her voice heavy with sadness."If you're this worried," I thought, "why are you even here?""I know, but how is Jake?" she continued. "We saw the news.""He's holding up well," Mrs. Dacosta reassured her. "He's strong, not one to break down easily.""Of course," Selen

Selena's POVIt would be so nice to wake up like this each day. I looked up at Jake. He was smiling, waiting for me to say something. His face held a calculating look. Does he think I'll regret what we did? Far from it."Good morning," I said, pulling him closer. Then, I covered my mouth and pulled away. "I hate my morning breath!" I rolled out of bed, grabbing the blanket and revealing my nakedness.I wrapped the bulky blanket around myself and trudged to the bathroom, sighing as I realized my toiletries weren't there. I sat down on the sink.A knock on the door startled me. It opened to reveal Jake, holding my toothbrush. "Thanks," I mumbled, taking it from him.I expected him to leave, but he walked in, clad only in his briefs. He grabbed his toothbrush, added toothpaste, and held his hand out to me. Without a second thought, he helped me add some paste to my brush. He started brushing his teeth nonchalantly.He was so comfortable, like we'd been doing this for years. I stood up an

Jake's POVMy mother wasn't picking up her calls. When I reached the house, I instructed the security not to announce my arrival. I spotted some reporters lurking around, but thankfully, they didn't recognize me."Do they think I'm stupid for driving my own car home?" I muttered under my breath.The company grounds were clear of reporters, so I parked my car there and hurried inside, calling for my mother. Had she gone to the hospital without me?A quick scan of the living room revealed a hunched figure in a chair. "Mom?" I called out, approaching cautiously. It was her, the familiar scent of her perfume confirming it. She looked utterly defeated, dark circles hanging beneath her eyes."Jake? Is that you?" she asked, scrambling upright as I knelt beside her. She cupped my face, examining me intently."How'd you know it was me?" she inquired, surprised I could identify her.I sighed, placing a hand on her knee. "Your perfume," I replied simply.Tears welled up in her eyes. "Oh, Jake, I
