Married to the CEO 23
He snatched his jacket from the back of the chair, not bothering to put it on, and stalked toward the restroom without another word.The waitress finally approached with the napkins and began blotting the floor. Khalid didn’t look at her. His eyes stayed on Jemima.“You didn’t have to do that,” he said quietly.She stood up, smoothing the front of her dress like nothing unusual had happened. “I know. I wanted to.”They left the table together. Khalid placed a hand at the small of her back only long enough to guide her past the staring tables, then dropped it the moment they reached the door. Outside, the afternoon air felt cooler than it had when they arrived. His car was still parked where he had left it.Jemima walked ahead of him, heels steady on the pavement. She didn’t speak until they reached the passenger side.“He was disgusting,” she said simply.“Yeah.”She glanced at him sideways, the same sharp look she always wore when she was deciding whether to stay angry or not. “You’

(Author's POV)“I’ll sign this document on one condition, Mr. Greyson.”Mr. Anderson’s voice cut through the low restaurant noise like he had been waiting for the perfect moment to drop it. He leaned back in his chair, the file still open in front of him, fingers tapping the edge of the paper as if the words inside were already his.“What condition?” Khalid asked. His tone stayed level, but the look he fixed on the man could have buried him six feet under without a shovel. Every muscle in his jaw locked tight.Anderson’s eyes slid sideways and landed on Jemima again, “Your secretary has to spend one night with me.”The words hung there, heavy and ugly. Jemima didn’t flinch, but Khalid felt the temperature at the table drop ten degrees. Before either of them could answer, a waitress appeared with a tray, set three cups of coffee down in front of them one by one, and disappeared again with a polite nod. The steam curled up between them like nothing had just been said.Khalid raised

Jemima: We both left the mansion in his car. He held my hand the entire way from the front steps to the passenger side, his fingers locked around mine like he thought I might bolt if he let go. The sun was high and sharp, bouncing off the black paint of his car, and I could feel the heat of his palm seeping into my skin. I hated how warm it felt. I hated that he was even touching me. I reached for the door handle the second we stopped, but he was faster. His other hand shot out, opened it for me, and held it wide like some old-fashioned gentleman in a movie. I frowned hard enough that my forehead ached. Acting nice would not make me like him. Nothing would. I would always hate him, and that was more than for sure. I jammed the door shut again before he could finish then yanked it open myself with more force than necessary. The metal gave a soft protest. “I’m not a kid. I can do it myself and you’re not welcome,” I said, dropping into the seat and slamming the door closed w

(Jemima's POV)I watched Khalid leave with his grandmother.The moment they disappeared through the doorway, one of the maids placed a plate of breakfast in front of me.I stared at it.I suddenly didn't feel hungry anymore.There was something about this family.The tension in the room was almost suffocating.It was obvious there was no love between Khalid and his father's wife, and whatever relationship existed between them was definitely complicated."Have your breakfast," Priya said with a smile.I looked at her. "Thank you." I smiled back.But my smile didn't reach my eyes.I could feel the hostility coming from her.And honestly?I wasn't afraid.If they wanted trouble, they would get it.I wasn't going to sit quietly and let anyone disrespect me just because I was the new wife.Especially not her.And then I remembered something.I saw her son with Khalid at the company yesterday.No wonder Khalid had practically pushed me out of his office the moment he saw me.He obviously kn

Khalid's POV I walked into the family mansion with Jemima beside me, and immediately, the maids started greeting me. "Good morning, sir." "Welcome home, Mr. Greyson." I nodded at them as we walked past, but I could already feel their eyes following us. Of course they were staring. It wasn't every day I brought a woman into the Greyson family mansion. And certainly not a woman whose hand was wrapped around my arm like she belonged there. Jemima stayed close to me, her fingers resting firmly around my arm as we walked through the hallway. I couldn't help the small smile that formed on my lips. This was my first time bringing a woman home. My wife. Even if our marriage was nothing more than a contract. Even if there were no real feelings involved. Even if I knew that after one year, we'd probably go our separate ways. Still, having her beside me gave me a strange feeling of pride. She was beautiful. Beautiful enough to make every person in this house stare. And for some

The next morning, Jemima woke with a headache so sharp it felt like someone had driven a nail straight through her temples. The second she opened her eyes, the light from the window stabbed at her, and the full memory of the night before rushed in—wine, the cellar, the way the room had spun, and then nothing clear after that.She groaned, pressing the heels of her hands on her eyes.She still had to be at work on time. Headache or no headache.She swung her legs out of bed, shoved her feet into a pair of flip-flops, and shuffled into the bathroom. The shower helped a little, hot water, steam, the simple act of washing last night off her skin. When she stepped out she dried off quickly and walked into the closet. She chose a pair of baggy blue pants that sat low on her hips, a short navy top that left a thin strip of skin visible at her waist, and her clean white sneakers. She brushed her hair out, then took a few minutes to put soft curls into the ends. Red lipstick went on last

CHAPTER FIVE (Jemima's POV) “Khalid...what are you doing?” I asked, my voice was too weak for the glare I forced onto my face. His hand moved with a swiftness I didn’t expect. He tugged at the belt of my robe, loosening it with one effortless pull. I gasped out loudly, clutching the fabric a

(CHAPTER FOUR) Jemima’s POV The window was my only friend tonight, since I had no one to talk to, I stood before it, my arms folded, staring into the starless sky as if it could give me peace. The night breeze slipped into the room, soft and cool, teasing strands of my hair and brushing them a

Chapter Three {Khalid's POV}From the airport, the driver drove us back to the new mansion I bought. I wasn't going back to the old mansion I used to live, a new mansion for a fresh start. Jemima was escorted to her room, since we agreed not to sleep in the same room. She set all the rules and

CHAPTER TWO Jemima and Khalid stood before each other, to read out their vows to each other, framed by the arch of flowers, and the watchful eyes of hundreds of guests. Their faces were gloomy, distant yet strangely perfect together.To the crowd, they looked real, but anyone who looked closely wi
