Please Marry Me, Mr. CEO 12. Pacifying
"Niklaus Callahan, why are you here?" Paul was startled to see Niklaus before him. He subconsciously took a step back as his entire body trembled. He couldn't help but feel intimidated under his oppressive gaze, and even more so when the man before him was someone he couldn't ever reach in his lifetime."Didn't I warn you never to hurt her?" Niklaus seethed as he stood in front of Brielle, protecting her behind him. "I....""It looks like the previous beating I gave you didn't serve its purpose. A new lesson is in order." Niklaus took a step forward as he raised his fist to punch the soul out of him.Paul subconsciously huddled in fear as he tried to evade the man. He still hadn't come out of the trauma of numerous beatings he had received in the past. Niklaus was a man to reckon with, and time and again, he had punished him, and it was all because of Brielle. Every punch of his hurt, and Paul shivered when he remembered how he had almost died those few times."Klaus," Brielle shoute

Paul paced in his office, worry etched on his face as he tried to comprehend Brielle's behavior. She had given him a cold shoulder all day and had even dismissed the idea of having dinner together. It had never happened before, and he couldn't accept the sudden change in her."Maisie, I'm telling you. Something's wrong with Brielle," he said, clutching his phone tight."What do you mean?" Maisie didn't sense the panic in his voice. Instead, she focused on her nails as she enjoyed her manicure."She is suddenly quite cold to me, and it started after I returned from the hotel today. Does she..." Paul didn't want to think in that direction. But nothing else matched the reason for her unexpected behavior.Maisie smiled and blew on her painted nails. "That's not possible. We've been careful all along. She believes you like a blind dog."Paul wasn't convinced. Something was amiss. His heart knew it. "But...""Paul darling, you're overthinking. There's no way she knows about us. Considering
Please Marry Me, Mr. CEO 10. Spreading the info
At first, Gary was shocked. He didn't say anything as he studied his Boss, who was watching him with an unreadable smile. But soon, it clicked, and he realized what the man was saying."Congratulations, Boss. That's awesome news," he said, beaming in joy. Niklaus nodded as he waited for the man to ask the question."Does old Mr. Callahan know about it?" Niklaus's smile widened, and he gave Gary a knowing look."What do you think, Gary?"Gary was not a fool. The question was his answer, and he nodded to himself. "Old Mr. Callahan will be happy once he learns of it," he said, handing Niklaus the files he had in his hand to take a look."Do you think so?" Niklaus wasn't that confident about it. He wasn't that close to his grandfather. The man had been strict with him all his life, striving for perfection in everything he did. He wouldn't be contented with the woman Niklaus had chosen for himself, even if they were of equal status."Boss, Mr. Callahan cares about you. He wants you to ha
Please Marry Me, Mr. CEO 9. Undying hope
Niklaus spun his phone as she stared at the panoramic view from the floor-to-ceiling window in his office. His mind gears were spinning as he thought about his next course of action. His gaze was filled with a wickedness that not everyone knew about. 'Paul, Paul, Paul,' he called the man's name he loathed the most as he clenched the phone tight. "I hope you're prepared for what awaits you." His lips curled on one side as he tapped the window lightly. "You dared to make my woman cry. I'll make sure you'll cry tears of blood." Smiling faintly to himself, he dialed a number and waited for a few seconds before his call was answered."Everything's set. You can go ahead with the plan now.""Yes, Boss," the man on the other side said."While you're at it, send two female bodyguards to protect Brielle. I want them by her side at all times whenever she's out.""Understood, Boss.""Also..." Niklaus stopped and retrieved his hand as he focused on the sky that was slowly turning orange. "Arrang
Please Marry Me, Mr. CEO 8. Plan in action
Brielle was irked by the interruption and stared at the perpetrator unimpressed. But the man in question smiled at her as if he hadn’t rudely barged into her office without her permission. ‘Why didn’t I notice how disrespectful and ill-mannered he was before?’ She wondered, glancing at Lucy, who looked as miffed as she was.“You are supposed to knock before you enter,” Brielle said, making sure to show her displeasure in her voice.Paul was taken aback for a moment, and he halted in his spot. “Bri, come on. There’s no need for such formalities between us.”“In private, there wasn’t a need before. But at work, I expect proper decorum. I hope you’ll follow the etiquette from now onward.”Lucy raised her thumb discreetly for calling the man mannerless on his face. ‘I’m so loving this. Come on! Show the bastard who’s the boss.’“Bri, did you just call me mannerless?” Paul asked, catching onto the meaning beneath her words.“Are you mannerless?” Brielle questioned back, and Lucy almost wh

“Aren’t you the guy who kissed Bri?” Lucy asked excitedly. She even wiggled her brows playfully at Brielle, who stared at her in horror.“If you are talking about today, then I guess it’s me,” Niklaus acknowledged, recalling their brief kiss after they got married. ‘Well, it wasn’t even a kiss. I should have kissed her a few seconds more,’ he thought in regret.“I’m not talking about today. It’s when....” Brielle covered Lucy’s mouth before she wandered off revealing her secrets.“Klaus, I’ll talk to you later. I need to go. Bye.” She didn’t wait for the man to speak before she ended the call.Lucy smiled wickedly when she saw how mortified Brielle was. “So, I was right. It is that Niklaus we are talking about.” She raised her head questioningly before she folded her hands. “Spill the beans. How did this happen?”Brielle sighed heavily and glared at her friend, who only shrugged back nonchalantly.“What did you do? Why did you say that to him?” She argued, returning to her chair and

"My wife, I missed you so much."Niklaus's voice echoed through the room, and Brielle blinked once, twice, thrice before her mind started working again. Her pupils immediately shot towards Lucy, who stared back at her with her eyes wide and her lower jaw slackened as she pointed her finger."You...

"I'll pick you up after work, Elle," Niklaus said as he parked the car outside Brielle's office and turned to her, giving her all his attention.Although it wasn't the first time she was meeting his passionate gaze, it still unnerved her, and she didn't dare look at him in the eye."Alright, I'll w

“It's a contract marriage. You can stipulate the duration,” Brielle clarified, remaining as calm as possible. But her body was stiff, and she felt an insurmountable pressure pressing in on her every time she met his ocean-deep orbs.She was scared, not of him this time. But the feelings she noticed.
