JAMES

I spent most of the day making calls, making sure everything was put in order. Stella had no idea about what I had planned, and I wanted it to remain that way. Every single detail had to be perfect—she didn’t just deserve words from me, she deserved to feel how much I loved her.

I looked at my watch and smiled. Perfect. She thought we were just going out for dinner tonight, but she deserved a proper first date, and I was going to make her see how serious I was about us.

The private rooftop I had rented was already set—candles, soft music, the view of the city at night. I had even gotten her favorite type of flower, because I had seen her always staring at it and talking about it when she thought I wasn’t noticing.

While the team finished setting everything up, I laid back on the chair and couldn’t help but smile, thinking about how her reaction would be. I could already see the shy smile on her face and the look in her eyes that made it clear she wasn’t used to being adored.

  • THE CEO’S DIRTY SECRET   CHAPTER 141

    JamesThe lines between reality blurred as I stared at him wishing it wasn't true.I looked back at my phone, her battered up body and eyes closing as she tried to hold on to life stared back at me, gaping.Shit. " I will kill you. I will make sure you die a very slow and painful death" I said, voice shaking.But he did not care. A small smile pressed on his face as he shrugged." Oh please save me the drama. I am giving you an option am I not? I can tell you where she is right this instant. I will ask them to stop torturing her, I will give her to you. All you have to do, is walk out of this place a loser." James, don't do it. He is playing with you" Adrian whispered to me.I could not think straight, I could see her in my mind's eye, calling for me. Begging me." I can't do this..I have to get her" I said to him.He gave Brad a long look before pulling me aside, raising my head to look at him, the unshed tears that welled behind my eyes confronting him.He sighed." You walking ou

  • THE CEO’S DIRTY SECRET   CHAPTER 140

    Brad's POVI adjusted the straps on my arms, my eyes blurring as I stared in the mirror.James was nothing.The knock on the door came, followed by the door handle twitching as my assistant let himself In." You called for me sir" he said.I flung the towel over my shoulders, taking off my boxing gloves." You know sometimes when you need something, you have to ruffle a few feathers right?"His eyes peaked.He had worked with me for five years, but somehow, he still did not understand my lines." I don't understand sir" I sighed, taking a sip of my bottle water, the sweat glistening on my chest." I'm talking about the duel coming up with James." " Do you need me to cancel it?".My eyes thinned as I glared at him." No. I want him a little... weak on that day" I knew how that sounded. I hated that I had to admit it but James was stronger. He was better than me and I could not let him win." Sure. I can spike his drink and..." I scoffed." James is a careful bastard. He knows bette

  • THE CEO’S DIRTY SECRET   CHAPTER 139

    STELLA’S POVI gripped the edge of the rails as I took another step. The physical therapist had already left, and I was supposed to practice walking on my own, but it felt so impossible for me to even move one foot. Even when I pushed myself, it felt like my bones were grinding against each other. It just hurt so badly. My legs trembled and I quickly lowered myself back onto the bed before I collapsed.My chest rose and fell very fast, and God help me, I was not okay. Not even in the slightest.It wasn’t just physical. It was mental, and even emotional.I lay back against the pillow, staring at the ceiling. The room was quiet and my heart wouldn’t stop racing. It felt like I was about to have a panic attack.Today actually made it twelve days since I’ve heard his voice or even seen his face.These past twelve days have been the worst of my entire existence. I keep asking myself what exactly I did wrong, and I couldn’t pinpoint it, but I was ready to apologise because I couldn’t lose h

  • THE CEO’S DIRTY SECRET   CHAPTER 138

    Brad’s POVThe moment James walked out of my office, the air cracked. I didn’t even realise I wasn’t breathing well until the rage tore through my chest.How the hell did he find out? Where did I slip up? What gave me away? I roared, grabbing the nearest file off the desk and hurling it across the room. It hit the wall and the papers scattered everywhere. This wasn’t happening. It felt like I was losing my mind.I slammed my fist on the table.DAMN IT.My vision blurred with anger. Everything I had been planning, everything I had been building—I was so careful, but James still found out.The door to the office opened again and I thought it was James. My heart jumped, but it was Don. He walked in looking calm and composed while I was trying to steady myself.“He knows,” I said through clenched teeth. “James knows everything. He knows I’m the head of the Triad. We are exposed, Don, and do you know what that means?” I slammed my fist on the table. “He’s going to do everything within his

  • THE CEO’S DIRTY SECRET   CHAPTER 137

    James The mirror reflected a man I couldn't recognise. I was dressed in a black crisp suit, hair combed back slickly. There were no traces of all my sleepless nights and the rage eating me alive from the inside. Without Stella I just felt like a shell of myself, but in this suit I looked like I had everything figured out and this was perfect for what I was about doing. I slid my hand into my pocket and went downstairs and into my car. I'd expected my heart to at least skip a beat but nothing like that happened, so this was what emptiness felt like. When I got to Brad's company I stepped out and made my way straight to his office. Every step I took was one of confidence. The guards nodded stiffly when I passed; they were all Triad and I never knew all those while ago. Brad's office door was half opened like he was expecting someone. Maybe I was that person today. I was dropping the whole pretend act. Brad had to pay for his crimes. He was behind his desk, leaning back with that f

  • THE CEO’S DIRTY SECRET   CHAPTER 136

    JAMES I had been training nonstop. It had gotten so bad that days blurred together. I wasn’t sure how long had passed—nights felt like minutes and then morning again. My body was aching, but my mind refused to rest. I thought I would be the one flying to London, but instead he was the one who came to New York, and from the moment he arrived he hasn’t given me a second to slack off. I poured everything I had into this training. My anger, frustration, guilt, sadness—the fact that I couldn’t be with Stella. Every single thing. God, I wanted to be with her so badly, and that made me punch harder. This was all his fault. Brad. He was the reason all of this started in the first place. My brother. My blood. My family. I was going to take his head. And the more the thoughts consumed me, the harder I trained. “Again,” Adrian barked. I didn’t argue or anything like that. I just swung. My fist connected with his jaw so hard that he fell to the ground, and blood was rushing out of his mou
