Author's POV

Danny stood frozen outside the café with his hands clenched into fists. As he watched through the large window and saw Mary sitting down inside, waiting for him, he felt guilty.

Mary was stirring her coffee absentmindedly. Her expression was soft but she was worried about Danny's hesitation.

Donna's words were still burning in his mind and screaming in his head.

"I'm pregnant."

His stomach twisted in disgust as he forced himself not to believe Donna. Nevertheless, he had to confi

  • Reckless CEO One Night Stand    103

    Mary's POV Two days later after the dinner at my parents’ house, things had become a little bit strange and confusing. Reid had changed, he had become different. He showed up at breakfast yesterday morning before leaving for work. He sat down there with me drinking coffee while I ate. Thought he didn't talk much, his presence gave more than enough care. He even asked if I needed anything before leaving. This morning again, he did the same thing. It was unsettling that the Reid who didn’t use to check on people, the man who only commanded and controlled was treating me with care. It felt oddly weird. It seemed as if he was up to something. As if he wanted me to lose my guard so that he would have a chance to hurt me just like Danny did to me. The memories of the kiss that night in the garden at my parents' mansion streamed into my mind. I touched my lips as I remembered the kiss. It was so gentle compared to the other one we had shared. His words, "Let me take your pain away"

    AUTHOR'S POV Reid watched as Mary ran out of the dining room with her face pale and her hands were shaking. Her father didn’t even blink, he just kept talking business like nothing happened. Disgust twisted in Reid's gut. Reid was furious as he thought the arrogant, cold bastard that call himself Mary's father just sat there smiling. Did he think my marriage to his daughter changed anything? As if he had forgotten that he was responsible for some of Brown Group workers deaths. The proof was almost ready. Reid just needed a few more pieces before he could make him pay for all his wrongdoing. "Mary seems...," Mary's father remarked as he sipped his wine. Reid clenched his jaw. "Maybe because her father sold her like cattle." The words slipped out before he could stop them. Mr. Sampson froze as his glass was already halfway to his lips. Then he laughed off a cold, humorless sound. "I wanted the merger and you wanted my daughter, business is business, Reid." Reid stood abruptl

    Mary's POV A whole week had passed since that night. Since Reid stormed out after our fight. And that was the day since Danny had disappeared. I sat at my office desk, staring at just one document for the past one hour as my mind couldn't focus on work, it kept going back to the moment Reid was threatening to hurt Danny before kissing me as he owned me. And Danny... I hadn’t seen or heard from him since. It was heard that he called in sick to work without any details. He was just reported sick which made me wonder how much damage Reid had done to him. I didn’t ask him to fight my battles and I didn't justify what Danny did but Reid had gone a little bit too far. A knock on my office door snapped me out of my train of thought. I finally let out a breath as Freya, my assistant, marched in with her usual cheerful self which suddenly relaxed my serious expression. "Your father called," she said. "Family dinner tonight. He left no room for an argument so you have to come." My stom

    AUTHOR'S POV Reid stormed out of Mary’s room with his blood boiling. He couldn't believe that Danny could lay his hands on his wife. Pulling out his phone, he dialed the number of his head of security, Alvin. "Find Danny Williams for me!" he growled the moment the call connected. "I don’t care where he is, just bring him to me." He hung up before Alvin could respond as his hands had already clenched into fists at his sides. The urge to break all the bones in Danny's body and to shatter his pretty-boy face to make sure he would never touch Mary again. He might have been doing that to Mary when she was married to him but not now that she was his, he no longer had the right to even look at her. Reid himself believed that he wasn’t even supposed to fall for Mary, it was never part of his plan but he hated seeing her suffer. He knew that she deserved someone better, someone that isn’t him or Danny. Mary wasn’t supposed to mean anything to him but after that night when Danny left he

    Mary's POV I sat at my desk after Danny had left, staring wide-eyed at the wall with my cheek still stinging from his slap. My eyes were already swollen and I didn’t have the energy to move an inch. I was already exhausted and I still had some files to look into before calling it a day. My phone buzzed on the desk but I didn’t want to look at it. It was probably Rose checking on me or maybe Reid trying to make my life harder. But the buzzing didn’t stop. With a sigh, I picked it up. It was a call from an unknown number, "Dinner with grandma tonight, 8 PM, my driver will pick you up at 7:30. Don’t be late." My stomach twisted as I heard that. It was Reid who just spoke like a commanding now when I was at my worst. I threw the phone back on the desk without replying. There was no way I would go to a dinner with my face red and puffy like this. It would only make matters worse as Reid wouldn't stop asking and questioning me to know what happened. My phone buzzed again. It was a

    Mary's POV The business meeting with Griffith Industries had dragged on for hours and my back was already aching. The stiff boardroom chair was not helping at all. I barely got enough sleep last night as Reid had successfully managed to fill my head with his thoughts and fantasies. Inside my head, he was getting to me and tormenting me which I hated. My head ached as I kept listening to numbers and watching projections. I needed a break. Not just a break but a long comfortable one. I just wanted the meeting to be over. Finally, the CEO, Andy Griffith, stood up. "Thank you all for your time. We’ll reconvene next week." I didn't even understand what was going on, I was just thankful that my assistant was here to take notes. I would run through everything at a convenient time before making my decisions. People started leaving and I also started packing the papers in a file. I was eager to leave the place and return to the comfort of my office. "Mary." I looked up and saw that i

    Mary's POV Reid let me hit him just to let me release my rage. "Why didn't you say anything, Reid?! He doesn't deserve to walk away like that!" "He doesn't deserve anything! He doesn't deserve my heart, he doesn't deserve my hate," I repeated with my voice rising in hysteria as my punch turned

    Author's POV Meanwhile, Danny was sitting in his office and staring at his phone. He had seen the message from Mary about shopping with Reid. He leaned back in his chair and exhaled slowly. He felt a little bad for Reid. The guy was so selfless that he could give up the woman he clearly loved j

    Mary's POV I sat across from Reid at our usual meeting joint, the place where I was almost shaking as my fingers nervously traced the rim of my cup. I took a deep breath and finally let out the words that were weighing on my chest. "I'm getting married." Reid's grip on his cup tightened for a f

    Mary's POV I stood in the quiet courtroom with my simple white gown flowing gracefully around me. I had never imagined my wedding would be like this. It was small, intimate, and hidden from the world. But right now, none of that mattered. I was marrying the man I loved wholeheartedly.Beside me wa
