THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 47
Riella's POV.I tried to comport myself as I stared at him, watching the different emotions flickering through his face. First, it was utter shock, then amusement and now the latter, I wasn't sure since he withdrew into a blank stare. You had thought he was deprived of his favorite possession.“And what are you doing here?” He didn't snap, didn't grumble. He just went flat and dry like he was bored but his expression was cold, his look was stressed and I wondered why.“Matilda's bachelorette,” I stated simply as I filded with my fingers. “I didn't know you were around, ” I felt the need to add to the scrutinizing gaze he sent me.“Ah ah, I see.” He mused, thoroughly amused. His chuckle wasn't amusing though even if it sent my insides fluttering. They were mocking and his stare was condescending.“I-Is there a problem?” I nearly stuttered, trying to keep my composure as I met his eyes.“Oh, of course, there is plenty. My fucking PA after I've given her the week off last week thought it
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 48
Harold's POV.I was pretty mad.Just kidding, I was furious.I only ever got like this in my life for certain reasons. One included Brittany and trying to get me to do things she knew or maybe didn't know that I would never do for her.Like asking my parents or convincing them that she sorta needed an engagement party of her own once Matilda and Damien's wedding was over.Like, what the fuck for?I couldn't help asking while trying to keep myself from lashing out at her. She said our engagement had not been official since it happened when we were young and she needed a stupid party to take herself feel special.I knew what she was doing. she was trying to play herself into my home and I got the gist. I just didn't think that she was desperate. I mean, she had waited for this long. Couldn't she wait a few years longer?I doubted that. Moreover, I doubted that my parents would want us to wait that long too. Most especially my mum and not with everything that had gone wrong between us.
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 49
Riella's POV.The air was thick with tension. Thick running tension as Harold stared at me with hooded eyes, gaze lowered and eye fucking me in what I had on. It wasn't that he didn't respect me enough cos I knew he did.It was just that when he'd asked me to come with him, I didn't think it was because he was trying hard to resist me. I didn't know that it was taking a toll on him.“Come here,“ His husky voice warmed me up. Without warning, his hands curled around my waist and pulled me closer to flush against his chest. The action made me gasp but he moaned in delight like he was having a field day.Which I was sure he was.“You don't know how long I've been holding back, do you?“ His mouth was dangerously close to my nape so as he spoke, I couldn't help shivering at the close contact.“Harold, we shouldn't.“ I called, holding out my hand. If anything were to happen between us, I would hate for it to be termed a mistake.I'd really do.He didn't respond, he just groaned a little in
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 50
Riella's POVI moved around the room, a light smile on my face as I held out my Champagne flute in our hand. At first, my gaze flickered around the large hall trying to catch a glimpse of Carolyn somewhere anywhere.But I didn't.The room was too crowded. Yep, plenty of people showed up for Matilda and Damien's wedding but even the amount of people didn't measure up to the large space they were occupying.The event planners had gone all out to give this a blast.And a blast it was.I held out my long-flowing bride's maid dress; a lilac tunic dress that ambled down to my feet, covering my shoes and hugging my curves. It was the perfect bridesmaid's dress and I was so in love with it.I sighed before ambling across the room in search of my best friend. The reception party was nearly over but lots of people were still around, gathering in small cliques and discussing business.Yeah, this was a love gathering but it didn't matter to the people, the guest who I mostly was aware of in the c
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 51
Harold's POV.I glared hard at the skinny lady tangled up in my sheets, head resting on the pillow as she slept soundly.Brittany.I had no freaking idea what she was doing here. I didn't expect her to show up at the party yesterday. We spoke a few days before the wedding and she told me she wasn't finished with her shoot, so she wouldn't be able to make it.She sounded sincere, asking me to explain things to Matilda for her. I was only too happy to relay the news. Although they weren't all that close, Matilda was still a bit sad about her not turning up for her wedding, she didn't say anything.What I however hadn't expected was for her to make an appearance at the party yesterday.I had been dancing with Pen before Vince came along, and glared at me which I laughed at. I had just joined my mum and dad where they were standing, talking to some business associate when she sauntered in with her usual style; making a show as per usual.“Brittany, ” Mum had called, being more than please
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 52
Riella's POV.I twirled my fork gently in my hands, eyes fixated on the cheese that stared back at me in the face. Carolyn had gone all out to make dinner; macaroni and cheese. She didn't like to cook, so, it was such a grand gesture to have her do this.I however wasn't feeling the meal. I was trying hard not to bend over my toilet sink and retch everything I had consumed out of my system. The offer was so tempting and I knew if I didn't kill the thoughts now, it would be fate all night long.“Ella, ” Carolyn called softly, reaching forward to touch my fingers. She took my hand in hers, caressing it softly. It was then I realized I had tears streaming down my cheeks.I was bitter.Heartbroken.“Ella, come on.” Carolyn nudged me as she pushed the plate out of the way before inching closer to wrap her hands around me. Winter barked and wagged its tail at the same time the tears came running down.I hated to feel this way.I didn't want to feel this way.The last time I had felt this br
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 53
Riella's POV.I eased myself further into the tub, feeling my body being warmed up with the warm water and floating bubbles. Since I had been awake for a while, way before my alarm sounded, I decided to have a bath.So, here I was drinking in the silence and sinking further and further into my large bathtub while I did nothing but stare.I didn't know how long I sat there, enjoying my silence and peace and tranquility until the water went cold and the bubbles disappeared. I stepped out of the tub looking refreshed and clean while I wrapped my large towel around me.I wiped my body dry before putting on my lingerie. I creamed and picked my outfit. Unlike most times, I already had an outfit selected. It was just a black sleeveless dress that stopped on my knees. I paired this with a black wedge shoe. I didn't bother to do much on my face and I packed my dark hair into a high ponytail. Afterward, I stood in front of my mirror and stared at my reflection. The usual spark in my eyes was
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 54
Harold's POV.I exhaled and shifted my chair to the back and got on my feet. I grabbed my phone and bobbed my head to the side, quietly asking Riella to grab the files.The board meeting ended just a few minutes ago and It was just as exhausting and tiring as I knew it to be. It had been even more tedious because the company just developed a new product which we tried to get the board members' attention to.It wasn't like there was much they could do. I called the shots and they followed. Nothing more and nothing less than that.I walked quietly toward my office, noting that Riella was just behind me. She was so quiet that I wouldn't have guessed she was walking behind me if it wasn't for the click-clack of her heels.Usually, after moments like this, she would gloat about a few things she noticed at the meeting or who we were meeting next. Or ask me if I was ready to have my lunch.She was doing none of that.She was just quiet. I knew I had caused that. I hadn't even said a proper w
