Profitable Marriage With A Mentally Unstable CEO Chapter 43: I want the truth
Luke stares at Elodie dumbfounded. For the first time, he feels as if his heart will explode from beating too fast, his body aching with an unfamiliar feeling. This woman before him might just succeed in driving him crazy. The tenderness in her eyes, the softness of her voice, the warmth coming from her hand….. is Elodie like this with other men? Is she like this with Kendrick too?The thought of this strikes bitterness within Luke, his insides twisting with inner turmoil. No, Kendrick doesn't deserve this, he doesn't deserve her. Finally, Luke understands the unknown feeling inside of him. It's the longing desire to possess. A strong part of him wants to keep Elodie for himself. Luke holds back the sinister smile trying to form on his face. He declares within himself that once he reclaims the empire back from Kendrick, he'll take Elodie as his wife. But for now, Elodie can't know anything about him. Suddenly, the silence is broken as Luke bursts out in laughter, shocking Elodie

“She wasn't abducted again; she just went to see her father,” says Kendrick to Zoey on the phone. He ends the call with a sigh, throwing a look at Elodie. “Succeeded in making everyone worry again, congratulations,” he says, his tone raw with sarcasm. Elodie ignores him, averting her eyes to the window. Her shoulders slump, weighed down by Kendrick's words. She didn't think her decision would be so worrisome to the extent that Kendrick had to come searching for her. Once they arrive before the door to the mansion, Elodie bites her lower lip, nervously thinking about how the others will react. But as Kendrick opens the door, they're greeted by the presence of three people in the sitting room: Rose and Camila, seated on the sofa, and Zoey, standing with her brows creased. The moment Zoey's eyes land on Elodie, her face lights up, relief clouding her. As Elodie enters, Kendrick following behind, Zoey quickens her pace towards them, enveloping Elodie in a tight hug. Elodie's surprise

“Talking about human sympathy when you have none” Kendrick responds bitterly. Elodie's forehead puckers, her brows furrowing “What is that supposed to mean?” Kendrick admits, “Haven't had a proper meal in days, plus my medications are lacking, and I'm losing sleep.” Elodie watches him half amused. “So?” She asks as if she couldn't care less. Kendrick's gaze locks onto hers with an unwavering intensity. “If you had human sympathy, you wouldn't leave me to suffer.” Kendrick pauses a bit, before saying seriously “You need to apologize” Elodie's eyes widen in disbelief, a sarcastic laugh building up inside of her. “Apologize? For what?” She asks. She doesn't let Kendrick speak as she adds “If anyone should apologize, it's you” Kendrick almost chokes on the water he's drinking. He drops the glass, responding in a tone filled with pride “Apologize? When I've done nothing wrong? Yeah right” Elodie responds in the same manner, her eyes beaming with pride. “Well, I've done nothing wrong,

“I need to see a patient” Kendrick stands impatiently at the receptionist's desk, his eyes fixed on the woman's slow movement as she files her nails. The receptionist throws him a dry look, her eyes lingering on him for a moment. She lets out an irritated sigh, facing the computer. Her movements and her words are slow as she asks nonchalantly “And who may that be?” Kendrick's response is hasty “Mr Rykard” The woman's fingers pause on the keyboard, scrutinizing him a bit before averting her eyes back to the computer. “What is your relationship to the patient?” She asks groggily. Relationship? Kendrick asks inwardly. He hesitates a bit before answering “Son-in-law, I'm his son-in-law” The woman lets out a deflated sigh, leaning back to her chair. She resumes filing her nails before responding in a lazy, uninterested tone “Ward 28” Kendrick nods at her but before leaving, he lifts his facecap, revealing a glimpse of his face. Her eyes widen, her jaws dropping at the striking resemb

“Three days, Luke! You've had my account blocked for three days!” Camila's voice trembles with desperation, her brows furrowed with uneasiness. “How am I supposed to live like this!?” Rose, beside her, nods in agreement, her expression pleading. They're both standing in Luke's private study, laying their complaints and grievances, while Luke ignores them, his eyes fixed on the computer screen. His focus never wavers, the pleas of both women entering one ear and fleeing the other. His calculating gaze narrows on the screen, his hands dancing on the keyboard with urgency and precision. Before Kendrick officially resumes as the CEO, there are some things he would need to take care of— things pertaining to profits, his profits. Being a strategic demon himself, Kendrick's comeback had been one of Luke's many anticipations. This is why, at the initial time, he came up with a temporary solution for when Kendrick overthrew him. All while he's been working and earning, Luke has kept a st
Profitable Marriage With A Mentally Unstable CEO Chapter 38: Bring her back
Kendrick's question hangs suspensefully in the air as Elodie finds herself unable to answer right away. Does she love him? How can she? When he's so obsessive over Charlotte. Does Elodie even need to think? Not when the answer is as clear as day. So why is she hesitant?Watching her ponder so deeply, Kendrick worries that her answer may be fabricated, So he decides to change the topic “If you can't answer, it's—” “No, Kendrick” Elodie cuts in, her eyes locking onto Kendrick's with an unwavering intensity. “I don't love you. Just like you, my heart belongs to someone else” Unexpectedly, her blunt answer crushes him, but he masks his emotions, sneering “Who?” He spits out, his tone mocking. “Kristen? The guy who abducted you? Your ex-boyfriend?” Elodie's frown deepens, and she averts her eyes, a lump forming in her throat. She forces it down, regretting why she even came to see Kendrick in the first place. “It doesn't matter to you whom I love.” Elodie's voice is barely above a whi
