Mr CEO's stubborn bride

"Look woman, you know what I hate in this life? It's pretense and fake tears. What are you waiting for? Sign the damn papers so I can get out of here! I have better and much more important things to do. I am a businessman and don't have time to waste on pretense and fake tears!" Catherine stared at the man in front of her, the man who was to be her husband, bewildered at what she was seeing. This was supposed to be an official marriage as both families had wanted them, but here she was, stunned and presented with what her husband-to-be called a fake marriage: a contract marriage.She couldn't understand what this was that she found tears dropping from her eyes. Did her parents know that this was what she would come to meet?She was going to live as a ghost to her husband; to who she was supposed to be able to call her home.William's voice was icy as he spoke, his eyes fixed on hers with an unreadable expression. "What? Do you think I will make this official? You're insanely dreami

There was a long silence before William suddenly muttered,"Fine, if it's what you want, Mother," And Catherine felt her heart racing widely. Catherine tried to look at him but failed, and that was when she felt his hand around her waist, pulling her closer to him. She closed her eyes; whatever came, she got her hands cold. Her very first kiss, with her newly wedded strange husband.Without words, William lowered his head, placing his mouth into hers, and Catherine froze as she felt William's tongue dance slowly in her mouth. Even though there was no atom of feelings for each other, they had to show the world the opposite.Catherine could feel his hands threading through her scalp, sending shivers down her spine. He deepened the kiss to the point she didn't know when a moan softly left her lips. She had kissed him back, leaving her breathless and no space to think and when they broke the kiss, she wanted to take a look at his face, but the man had turned already, leaving her with a

A few days later, their work-free day was over. Grasping her curvaceous hips with her hands, Catherine gazed at her attractive reflection in the mirror. Grinning, she hurried over in her high heels to retrieve her handbag from the bed. With poise, she walked down the stairs to find William seated in the dining room."Morning." She greeted but there was no response. While they ate together at the table, William started, "We have a meeting to attend today." He said casually. Catherine raised her head when she heard what he said. "What? Why?"He stopped digging through his food and faced her. "Because it's important, and you have to be there.""I have plans for the day. Unfortunately, I cannot join you at your meeting. You only just informed me now, William; maybe if you had mentioned it earlier, then maybe I would have considered.""Do you think you have a choice?!" He pushed his seat, stood up, buttoned his seat, and continued, "Meet me in the black Ferrari. Don't keep me waiting, I d

"Of course, not, hahaha. That was so lovely ..., husband. But I will go now. Work is calling right now." Catherine cleared her throat awkwardly and forced a smile, taking herself back to reality. Of course, she knew that kiss was nothing, just a facade to show his assistant that they were lovely married. She noticed what followed his demeanor and only she could understand not Jorge. She gritted her teeth and finally forced her feet far away from them, heading to her office. Jorge walked behind William as they now headed to William's office. Inside the office, William made himself comfortable on his luxurious chair and looked up at Jorge. "Sir, here's your schedule for today. Also you said you needed me to go through those numbers for you, here's the report." Jorge said handing a sheet of paper to William as he sat down.William adjusted on his chair and went through the paper Jorge handed to him while Jorge was still standing across his desk, holding his arms at his back and waiti

Catherine watched as William and the strange woman, made love to each other passionately. Her heart ached with pain, it felt like she had just been slapped on the face or stabbed in the heart with a sharp two blade sword.Not caring whether she had interrupted them only not. She immediately ran off to the bathroom downstairs and slammed the door not caring whether she drew their attention or interrupted them. She tried hard to hold in her tears, so it wouldn't be obvious that she was pained by William's actions. She gripped onto the sink in the and poured out her tears. She was immediately reminded once again on the reason why she never wanted any of this.The reason why she never wanted to end up with William. "Last time I checked, William doesn't even speak to me in a respectful tone. Why did I even agree to this in the first place?!" Her voice broke as she soliloquized.She looked at her reflection in the mirror and and wiped her tears,
