Reckless CEO One Night Stand 71
Mary's POV Outside Rose's gate, I shivered in the cold night air. I had nowhere else to go. The weight of the evening's experience and the fear clawing at my chest had left me exhausted but I forced myself to press the doorbell. The gate buzzed and after a moment, the guards opened it. "Miss Mary?" one of them asked cautiously. "I want to see Rose. She must be expecting me," I lied with my voice barely above a whisper. The guards nodded and allowed me inside. My legs felt weak as I followed them up the path. The moment the front door opened, Rose rushed out with her expression turning to horror when she saw my swollen cheek and tearful face. "Oh, dear God, what happened to you, Mary?" Rose gasped and pulled me into a tight hug. I tried to hold it in but as soon as I felt the warmth of my friend's embrace, my her eyes burned and my throat tightened with emotion. Without waiting for an answer, Rose pulled me inside and shut the door firmly behind us. The house was quiet as her p
Reckless CEO One Night Stand 70
Mary's POV I kept running with my breath coming in ragged gasps and my legs trembling beneath me but I didn't stop. Though, I didn't know where I was going, I knew that I had to get away. The cold night air hit me like a slap as I burst out of the hotel doors. The city lights blurred before my eyes and my vision became clouded by terror and disgust. I flagged down the first cab I saw as I was barely able to force out the words. "Drive. Just go, please!" The driver hesitated as he saw my disheveled state. He later pulled onto the road while I curled into myself in the backseat with my arms wrapped tightly around my shaking body. My skin crawled and I felt dirty and used even though the man hadn't done anything. But he nearly did. A shudder wracked my body and bile rose in my throat as the betrayal crashed over me in waves. How could Mr. Cale do that? Was Danny a part of this? I knew that Mr. Cale was cold and selfish but I didn't expect this low blow from him. My fingers du

Mary's POV I stood in front of the dress laid out on my bed with my jaw tightened. The fabric was flimsy and it barely covered anything, it was more of an invitation than a gown. I exhaled sharply and my fingers clenched at my sides. I knew exactly what Donna's father was planning. But I would never bend to his will. Turning away, I strode toward my wardrobe and pulled out a different dress, one that was elegant but modest. It carried grace instead of the cheap allure. As I slipped into it, I fixed my hair and makeup for myself while ignoring the stylist that Mr. Cale had sent. As I descended the grand staircase, my heels clicked against the floor and echoed through the silent house. Mr. Cale was waiting at the bottom with his expression darkening the moment he saw me. His sharp gaze flicked to my dress as he realized it wasn't the one he had chosen. Instantly, his lips pressed into a thin line. "Mary," he began, his tone laced with fury. Before he could continue, Mrs. Cale pla
Reckless CEO One Night Stand 68
Mary's POV Few years earlier. I never imagined that a phone call could shatter my entire world. I stood frozen and kept staring at the screen with my breath caught in my throat. My fingers hovered over the notification but my body refused to move. The words echoed in my mind like a cruel whisper. "He's dead." My phone slipped from my grasp and clattered onto the hallway floor. The sound had barely registered in my brain when my knees buckled. A sharp gasp left my lips and before I knew it, I was on the ground, sobbing profusely. "Mary!" Rose's voice broke through the murmurs around me. Students had gathered with their curious gazes filled with confusion. But I couldn't bring myself together. My body trembled as I clutched my arms around myself with my raw and heart-wrenching cries. Rodney pushed through the crowd with his brows furrowed in concern. "Mary, what happened?" I tried to speak but the words were caught up in my throat. Rose and Rodney exchanged a worried glance b
Reckless CEO One Night Stand 67
Mary's POV Back at the hotel, Rodney had just tucked Layla into bed and was stepping out of the room. As he made his way to the kitchen, he found me standing by the counter with a half-filled glass of wine in my hand. The dim glow of the kitchen lights cast a soft shadow on my face. Without a word, he grabbed a glass and poured himself a drink before settling into the seat across from me. "You look deep in thought," he remarked and swirled the wine in his glass. I exhaled with a small smile playing on my lips. "Just thinking about how life turned out," I admitted. "Donna is different now. She was a confident woman who once had everything but not anymore." I let out a quiet chuckle. "And Danny also has a son now." Rodney studied me for a moment before saying, "He asked about you." I turned to him with my brow arched and asked despite knowing, "And what did you say?" Rodney took a slow sip before responding, "I told him he doesn't deserve to know about you." A flicker of amuseme
Reckless CEO One Night Stand 66
Mary's POV I smiled politely as I chatted with familiar faces. I made sure my tone was warm but composed. There was no tension and no lingering bitterness. I was just a woman who had moved on. I could feel Danny's gaze on me, it was steady and unrelenting. I didn't look his way, not even once. Rose beamed with excitement as she turned to introduce her fiancé. "Mary, this is Gabriel Lander. He works in shipbuilding." Gabriel extended his hand with an easy smile. "Nice to meet you." I shook his hand. "Likewise." Rose nudged Gabriel playfully. "Don't be modest. He's with Lander Shipyards." My brows lifted slightly. "Lander Shipyard? You build some of the most renowned yachts in the world?" Gabriel chuckled. "You really know about us?" I nodded. "I only know a little. Your company has quite the reputation." Gabriel smiled and glanced at Rose. "You didn't tell me your friend was so well-informed." Rose grinned. "Mary knows a lot more than she lets on." Gabriel turn
