THE CEO'S HIDDEN VOWS

ISABELLA POV I walked into Sapphire Lounge, a famous and expensive bar in New York. The colorful flickering lights and the girls in skimpy clothes dancing seductively, when was the last time I came to a bar? “ Hey! When you said we’re going clubbing, I thought you meant a regular club,” my best friend, Cario tugged on my gown. “ I thought you said we were going to have fun tonight. Are you having second thoughts now?” I frowned, slightly disappointed. “ I might even snag myself a man for the night,” I laughed eccentrically. “ That’s obviously not it and you want to have a fling? Anyway, my problem here is how are we supposed to afford anything here?” She pointed at the expensive lounge we had entered. “ We’re college students,” she reminded me. “ Have you forgotten that I’m from a wealthy family?” I turned around to look at her. “ How can I not remember? That’s even how we were able to get in to begin with,” she folded her arms.

ISABELLA POV I adjusted awkwardly on my seat because now that the effects of the alcohol I had drank had begun to fade, it was embarrassing having to see him again. How did he not feel embarrassed? Or is it because this isn’t his first time? “ Let’s get straight to the point. Would you be my wife?” He asked and for a minute, my mind had to process his words before I turned a bright pink. “ I know I’m gorgeous and all but who falls in love with someone they just met!?” Was he out of his mind? “ Forgive my boss’s teasing. He was just trying to pull your legs,” who I assumed to be his secretary sighed. “ You’re very interesting,” he rubbed his chin. He loved my reaction to his bizarre words. “ A-anyone would react the way I did,” I stuttered. “ Stop joking around and say what you have to,” I exhaled. “ I wasn’t joking about the marriage part though, I just said it vaguely,” he answered. “ And my name is Ryan. I’m well a

ISABELLA POVMy Dad let out a nervous laugh, his eyes darted to me before he said. “ It’s not like I’m against it, Mr. West. But don’t you think she’s a bit young? She’s just twenty-one and still in school….” Ryan cut him off, his voice turned firm. “ But you don’t have any problem with your younger daughter getting married, do you? So why is it a problem now?” My Dad turned quiet at Ryan’s questions, and tried avoiding Ryan’s intimidating stare. Ryan’s eyes glinted with amusement. “ From what I’ve seen and noticed, Isabella seems more intelligent, more mature and more financially savvy than your younger daughter. And yet, you gave her away in marriage without a second thought. Why do you have a problem with Isabella getting married?” My heart raced with joy and excitement at Ryan’s words. Even though I didn’t have any ounce of feeling for him, still I was grateful for his support, and at this point I’d do anything to go far away from my parents. Ryan turn

ISABELLA POV I felt a flutter in my belly at her words, but I acted all tough outwardly. “ Yeah, it’s nothing to be excited about,” I said nonchalantly. But Cario was not buying it. “ Girl, you should be careful. There are lots of girls who have a huge crush on your fiancé. And your life is going to be even tougher than usual.” I shrugged. “ There’s nothing they can do. Nothing physical, at least. They’re all aware of the backing I have now.” Cario squinted her eyes at me. “ Your confidence needs to be checked.” We both burst into laughter, and for a moment, I forgot about all the drama and stress that came with being engaged to Ryan West. As I walked out of my last class of the day, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. I was looking forward to heading back to Ryan’s mansion and just relaxing for the rest of the day. But as I turned a corner, I was confronted with a face I hadn’t seen in a while. Levi, my ex-boyfriend and his clique of friends, standing in

RYAN’S POV“Are you sure you want to do this? Just a few weeks ago, you did not even want to be my wife.”“Well, I am horny. I just want to be pounded.”“Hmm you are one wild girl. To think I deflowered you.”“Are we going to talk or fuck?”“I don’t know.”I pull into her, spanking her ass and grabbing it, making her moan. We were having deep eye contact and it made my heart beat faster.Staring into her eyes gave me some sort of warmth and as I caressed her ass, she pulled into me, causing a ripple in the pool water.“You look so beautiful and full of lust.”She did not answer me. She just smashed her lips into mine, making me jump off a bit. I loved how her lips tasted. Like vanilla ice cream.I used her ass to pull her into me, deepening the kiss as her tongue slid into my cheek. She ised her tongue ti lick off my inner cheeks and inside of my bottom and upper lip. I keed back, gently using my pouted lip to embrace her bottom and upper lip, squeezing them.“You taste so nice,Isa.”“
