Copper

Before I could say a word, Mr. Harmony stepped forward. He extended his hand. "Please, there's no need for that. Mr. Hardley, I assume? I am Copper's grandfather. Her mother would like to apologize for not being here as she was requested to work together."

"Uh huh." Mr. Hardley gave his hand a stiff shake. "What about her step-father?"

Betty snorted. When I glared in her direction, she turned away.

"An emergency occurred at his workplace. He sends his greetings." Mr. Harmony smiled. However, his smile didn't seem to melt Mr. Hardley's icy heart.

"I would prefer more than his greetings, but let's carry on."

Sylvester released his hand and sat down at the opposite end of the room to Betty's parents. His guard stayed at the door with me to his right. Mr. Hardley barely acknowledged his presence. Or maybe it was that he didn't care.

I shouldn't be surprised. He had yet to ask for my grandfather's name.

"Sir," the principal started, clasped hands placed over his desk. "Are you aware

  • Her Ceo Husband Wants Her Time!   Chapter 33. Everyone Wants Something

    *Copper*I poked my head out and checked my surroundings. There were people here but not enough that would be a bother to me. I stepped off the pathway and sat on the closest bench I could find. It was hard, but oddly comfortable. Now that I could be left in peace, all the tension escaped my body. I sighed. Another day of school and catching up to make sure my grades are above passable. Sylvester took one look at my report card and had one of his students, Sher, to give me a test. Once I was done with that, he took one look at my test results, back at the report card, then back at me. We had an hour long conversation about how my grades didn't match up with my intelligence. In my eyes, I did better than most average students. I told him why I repeated a year. That's when he reminded me that there was no longer a need to hold back. That's why he has Sher tutoring me when it's the weekend and during some days of the week to go over what I got wrong. But most of the time I'm listening

  • Her Ceo Husband Wants Her Time!   Chapter 32. Her Soft Touch

    *Kenny*I observed the way she watched me, tilting my head to the side.“Is that something you really want to know?” I said. She quickly nodded. “Absolutely! I wouldn't have asked otherwise. I can't help but be curious about you.”There she goes again, acting like a cute wife. I reached for both her hands over the table and held them, my thumbs rubbing the back of them. A smirk formed on my lips.“How could you forget that I fell in love with you the first time I saw you?” I stated boldly. “Your presence has been nothing less than amazing. If only I could have met you when we were children and married you sooner.”I thought my performance was satisfactory. Copper simply rolled her eyes.“I mean it, Mr. Greenland.” She pulled her hands away. I unexpectedly missed the warm feeling of her soft hands. “Why did you go through with the marriage? Were your parents threatening to withdraw your inheritance or something?”I thought about her words. As their only son, my parents wouldn't risk

  • Her Ceo Husband Wants Her Time!   Chapter 31. Kenny, Why Did You Marry Me?

    *Kenny* I grew annoyed with myself. This was not the time nor place for my sexual frustration to catch up with me. From what I could gather, Julia listened and pretended that we weren’t there. As long as we kept quiet, then it shouldn’t be difficult to go unnoticed. The problem with that was that I couldn’t guarantee I could maintain that position for much longer. Her scent kept flooding into my nose. Our eyes met. I stiffened. She mouthed something to me. “That’s not your stepmom, is it?” I thought twice about how much I should tell her. It’s not like she is actually a part of this family. If I lied to her then there wouldn’t be an issue. “No, it isn’t,” I decided to tell the truth instead. Copper nodded in acknowledgement, but instead of going back to looking at the door, she kept her eyes on me. I found myself subconsciously counting every lash, taking in her heated cheeks along with the stray hair that had detached itself from the rest when I pulled her in here. I fel

  • Her Ceo Husband Wants Her Time!   Chapter 30. That Black Dress

    KennyI remembered what my mother said. If there were any problems in Caroline's and his marriage, then I should tell her right away. Georgina had never had any respect for Caroline. I knew she gossiped with her friends as to how long their marriage would last. She delighted in seeing his life fall apart. And for the most part, I didn’t disagree with her.Up to this day, I didn’t know the reason for my parents’ divorce. They told me a bogus lie, something about them falling out of love, but it wasn’t enough. I’ve long since stopped trying to find out. But after seeing my father’s behavior firsthand in adulthood, I think I finally understood why.They were speaking to one of the store clerks. I recognized her as Mandy. “Give her whatever outfit she wants. Treat her well,” Hunter said with a smile. The words were directed at Mandy, but a flirty smile was targeted at that woman. The way he held her, her hushed conversations, and so tenderly she rubbed his arm told me that these two didn

  • Her Ceo Husband Wants Her Time!   Chapter 29. Why Did She Marry Me?

    KennyA woman dressed in a black tux approached us as soon as we entered the building. “Good afternoon, Mr. Greenland!” She bowed briefly to us both. “What a pleasure to see you once again! What are you looking for this fine evening?”I laid a hand on Copper’s lower back. “I’m just looking for something for my wife today. I’m thinking elegant, something that can help me show her off. Do you have anything like that in mind, Julia?”I could feel Copper tense but she didn’t say a word as she kept that smile on her face. Julia swept up Copper’s appearance, choosing to linger on her school uniform. It took only one look from me for her to stop. “Of course!” She quickly gestured for us to come further into the store. “This way! We received a new line of dresses not that long ago. I’m sure they will suit her quite well.”Copper and I followed her without complaint. Julia kept her face forward as if he was trying to hide her embarrassment. During our walk, my hand never left Copper back. T

  • Her Ceo Husband Wants Her Time!   Chapter 28. Is He Tired Of Me?

    *Caroline*I sat on the bed, bored out of my mind. But I had to stay here. He would be back soon and it had been a while since we slept together. When we first met, Hunter couldn’t keep his hands off me. And now, I could only silently wait until he was in the mood to receive affection. But I had to be patient. I couldn’t complain and make him upset. When we argued, I could feel him slipping through my fingers. I felt like I was losing him. That’s why I learned how to adopt a persona and attitude that would suit his tastes. With my freshly showered body in a white nightgown and my hair flowing over one of my shoulders, I tried to relax. Hunter entered the room. I smiled, feeling a huge weight off my chest. “Honey.” I got up. “You’re back! How was work?”Hunter gave me a swift nod. Instead of answering right away, he loosened the tie around his neck and walked over to the dresser. “It was fine. Did you talk to the salon owner about securing that dress you wanted?”He had yet to spar
