The atmosphere became cold as soon as Mr. Anderson uttered those words to his daughter. It seemed as though time stopped for that brief moment. Even Mrs. Catherine who had been eavesdropping upstairs, had to come down from her hiding place out of shock and majorly, fear.

Nobody expected it coming. It was a massive hit to everyone who heard it. Mrs. Catherine was left speechless even as she got to where the father and daughter were. It didn't take long before her husband walked out of the living

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 98 - Her punishment.

    ~~ Brittany's POV ~~I laid Emma gently beside her teddy bear on the bed, trying my best not to stir her awake. Then quietly a soft kiss followed on her forehead before we all made our way out of her room.By we, I meant Shantel, Auntie Ciara, and me. Emma's nanny had long retired for the day since we arrived, as Shantel and I made a priority of taking care of Emma until my auntie returned."She will miss her mommy when she wakes up tomorrow."I sighed, letting the words sink in. Just as if noticing the calm expression that had turned sour on my face, Shantel responded before I did."She'll probably come again before the week runs out. I know my friend is a great mother.""And you're a great friend." Auntie Ciara chuckled in a gentle compliment.The day had been nothing but entertaining. Especially when we just arrived. Shantel and Emma wouldn't stop being all over each other, bonding like they'd met a thousand times before then.Shantel still had her extrovert vibes right from high s

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 97 - Nervous to meet her.

    ~~ Brittany's POV ~~ I couldn't be more shocked tonight. Was it when I first heard my name called out by the emcee? Or when Ace urged me to go on that stage? Was it when I walked to the podium? Or when I sealed a deal worth $150 billion? A long-term partnership I had always yearned for but failed to get despite my hard work. Then, all of a sudden, I found myself in front of hundreds of business profiles as part of the partnership. I received applause and credit for everything, despite doing nothing. Immediately after the event ended, I felt utterly smothered. Literally everyone congratulated me. Some of which I knew were not genuine. But I was too overly excited to give meaning to whatever motive was behind their fake congratulations. Besides, it was something I'd learnt while growing up. When I finally needed Ace by my side, he was nowhere to be seen until Alex told me he was with his Dad on one of the top floors. And that was how my mood got ruined by Elvira. "Don't

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 96 - The mess she created.

    ~~ Ace's POV I watched as my father stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring into the dark yet night that glistened with lights everywhere. Yet I knew the neutral expression I had managed to mirror on his face contradicted the rage that burned inside of him.The event had only just ended when he called me into this suite on the top floor. But for over twenty minutes, he hadn't spoken a word since we got there. And it made the atmosphere slightly awkward. I expected him to yell as usual. Rant like never before while I gave him a piece of my mind.After what seemed like forever, he eventually turned to face me, his eyes glowing with anger, as I presumed. But his face held something else. Something I barely understood.“Go back downstairs. We can't leave our guests without a goodbye.” He walked to the dark leather opposite me.“What?”“Make sure none of our business partners leaves the event feeling upset.”I stood there, shocked at his words. His facial expression was di

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 95 - Business collaboration.

    ~~ Ace's POV ~~ "You must be so proud to have a competent son who can run the company without issues, Chairman. Not only did he bring home a trophy wife to increase the company's infrastructure, but he keeps closing deals and even bringing more golden collaborations that could make the company more unstoppable." Laughter erupted in the air immediately. My father was enjoying most of the entire conversation with a boastful smile smeared across his face. "Yes. That's why a son is so important. They are the ones fit for these things." My Father, the chairman responded still with that smug look, a look that mostly looked down on everyone else. I suddenly wished to be everywhere but there, just like Brittany who had managed to slip out of our midst when she went to attend to some acquaintance from her company. From where I stood, I could watch her every movement. Just as she had gracefully gotten out of that car outside, my eyes couldn't leave her from that moment onward. I studie

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 94 - A great significance.

    The ride to the exquisite hall was as silent and quiet as a graveyard. Except for the low humming of the car and the mellow, low-pitched sound of the tires against the tiled road as we drove, everything else felt awkward.Shantel sat in the front seat, her side of the window open as she stared outside, completely resting on her seat. She hadn't said a word to me since our intense bicker on the back porch of the house. Throughout the reapplication and readjustment of my makeup, it felt so uncomfortable looking her in the eyes most times while we said nothing to each other.Unlike our first makeup session where everything felt at ease. And every conversation came with smiles and laughter.Charlotte, on the other hand, sat next to me in the backseat and I knew she had quite a lot to say to us - Shantel and me. Especially me. But she was barely withholding on while pretending to type away on her phone. I felt her constantly stealing glances at us while she thought I wasn't looking. Or ra

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 93 - More than a betrayal.

    If it had been in the past, I would have no worries. It would have been a normal thing. But this was the present Charlotte we were talking about. The same Charlotte who never failed to show how much she despised me. Who believed I did so many wrongs to her brother. Even when I still didn't know what I did wrong."You didn't even say a 'thank you'." She muttered, breaking away from my gaze. "This would have been less awkward."I was dumbfounded. Wondering why she changed all of a sudden when I saw Shantel coming out of the house. She was completely dressed, her curly hair bouncing behind her as she walked. Red heels to match the royal blue dress that stopped above her knees and a red clutch by her right hand.But rather than the calm and cool-headed Shantel I left behind, she looked furious. Infuriated. Rather disappointed. Betrayed. And I felt all the emotions were directed towards me.When she saw us, she tried to mask her emotions. Maybe because she saw Charlotte standing beside me.

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 90 - My Father's order.

    ~~ Brittany's POV ~~"I'm sorry for the way I judged you. I was so desperate to find Emma and had become too anxious when I found her with you, so I didn't think before reacting."Thanks to the little boy whom I believed was the same age as Emma and probably in the same class. He had quickly explai

    ~~ Brittany's POV~~I gripped the wheels tightly as I stomped on the brakes, my heart racing like hell. My hands vibrated silently when I pushed the car door open and my legs shook as I stepped out of the car and raced towards her, my daughter's nanny."What happened to my daughter? How did she get

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 86 - Stooping as low as Lora's mother.

    ~~ Brittany's POV ~~Running down to the hospital, Mom was the first person I saw when I reached the VIP ward. She was standing beside Dad, staring into nothingness. Not until, the door slid open and I walked in. Surprisingly, Dad was still lying on the bed, the machines beeping loudly as always a

    "Mr. Fox was your boyfriend, true or false?"There was no response."You both still contacted each other secretly even though the late Mr. Fox wasn't permitted to make phone calls, am I right?"There was still no response despite the long silence that followed in the dimly lit interrogation room."
