Ethan's pov

"Lock up on your way out," I said to my secretary as I adjusted my suit.

"Yes sir, but sir... Err are you leaving already?" She questioned.

" What does it look like?" I asked rhetorically. I let out a sigh, "I'm unavailable for any business calls and meetings at the moment. I can't be here teaching you your job, even after I pay you." I said.

She nodded in response. I hurried to the car and drove myself down to a popular hotel on the other side of town. I checked in and made my way to the room and locked myself in. As I threw my suitcase on the couch in the room, I took off my suit and slowly unbuttoned my shirt as I made my way to the bathroom.

I took a warm soothing shower and wrapped myself in my robe afterwards. Immediately, I stepped out of the shower, and I heard a knock on the door. "Perfect timing," I muttered to myself as I made my way to the door.

I looked over my shoulder to ensure everything was intact before going to open the door.

As I unlocked it, Selena was

  • THE COLD CEO UNKNOWN HEIR   Chapter 15

    Chapter 15PIPER'S POVI glared at the pills in my hands before throwing them all down my throat at once. I grabbed the glass of water on the side table and gulped at least half of it. I had escaped my breath and there came a knock on the door.The door was pushed open slightly ajar with Ms. Anna's head sticking out through the side, "Breakfast is ready." She announced to me with a smile." I'm right behind you," I responded. The day I traveled by bus to Howell's township, Anna gave me an offer which I strongly believe can change my life henceforth, she even offered to let me stay with her in her small house till I'm able to get a place for myself. I had never been to her boutique, but with how many calls she takes and how busy she usually is, I'd say she's doing really well for herself. I didn't really know much about her, like whether she's married or has any kids at all, but life seemed pretty peaceful.I didn't tell her the full story behind my dilemma, nor did I tell her about

    Chapter 14PIPER'S POV"I'll have one bus ticket, please," I said to the cashier, rubbing my hands against my arm in response to the cold weather as I scanned the bus station, watching different people loiter around with their suitcases. I turned my gaze to my soon-to-be baby bump and rubbed my hands against my belly."Here," the cashier said, drawing my attention."Thank you." I shot her a smile and made my way into the bus and took a seat, as I waited for the driver to start the bus, and turned to the window. From this day onwards, I knew my life would change, moving from the city to a smaller one where nobody knew me. I guess this is what comes with fame: my dumb husband left me, and the entire city is well aware. All Ethan ever did was make a mockery of me to the entire public. Everywhere I go and every room I walk into, I get stares and whispers. It's been weeks since he served me divorce papers and threw me out, and he never even bothered to check on me, nor did he ask about m

    PIPER'S POVIt's been weeks since Ethan kicked me out, and not even a word have I heard from him, nor have I seen him around, nor has he replied to the mockery and insensitive comments I was getting from the media.At the same time, it's been quite a while since I met Mr. Mysterious, and we still haven't crossed paths since then. The money I stole from myself had been sustaining me up to this point. After the night at the hotel, I was back to sleeping in the subway or abandoned stores and taking naps on benches in the park.Life only grew worse; I was still unable to find a job, and it seemed like I had already caught the flu. I walked into the pharmacy, and all eyes were on me. The whispers increased, but only reduced when I got to the counter."I'll need medication for a flu and a fever maybe." I ordered." Okay, I'll be right back." The cashier turned over to the shelves, searching for the drugs I requested, whereas I held my head in my hands when I started to feel very, very dizzy

  • THE COLD CEO UNKNOWN HEIR   chapter 12

    PIPER'S POVDays later, I still hadn't gotten a call from Ethan, no text, or even an apology note since the day I left his house. I was already too exhausted from wandering all over the streets and sleeping on street benches or subways. This was so impromptu, I wasn't even sure who to turn to or where to go. I looked like a lost sheep as I strolled with my suitcase, but I knew I couldn't continue like this. At the same time, it was very unfortunate because I didn't even know what step to take. People were already giving me judgmental eyes, the entire social media was all on Ethan's side, therefore everyone was against me. It was so obvious on social media after a few people took random pictures of me looking homeless on the street.People kept making the most insensitive comments. In that minute, everyone suddenly had something to say about my life or marriage, even though they barely even knew me. I spotted an unoccupied bench and just sat there, thinking about everything, how my

  • THE COLD CEO UNKNOWN HEIR   Chapter 11

    The bright morning light seeped into the room through the windows, and to my face, I could feel myself waking up, but before I completely did, the thought of last night came strolling through my mind, causing a soft grin to form. It felt good and at the same time, it felt like that was all I needed.I brushed my hands through the other side of the bed, from up to down, but it felt weird, either Ethan was lying way too far from me, or he wasn't even on the bed. I furrowed my brows in confusion, my eyes still shut tight.Instantly, I sprang off the bed and sat up, and before me was Ethan, standing at the balcony with his hands resting behind him. He was already dressed in his suit, probably waiting to say goodbye to me before he leaves for the office.I couldn't help but let the smile linger on my face, the memory from yesterday kept replaying and replaying in my head. Ethan wanted a night of intimacy with me, which meant he clearly still had a burning flame of affection for me deep in

  • THE COLD CEO UNKNOWN HEIR   Chapter 10

    Ethan's povI angrily stormed out of the office, ignoring my secretary's call. Someone Piper managed to ruin my day, even though somehow we barely even spoke.I drove out of the office gates and straight to a lounge down town where I could just have a drink and clear my mind for a bit "I'll have a glass of your finest wine." I said to the waiter in a neatly ironed white shirt with a white towel dangling off his arm."Yes sir." He responded.He turned around and glared at the shelf in front of him, with different kinds of drinks in bottles all stacked up. He reached out for what I presume is red wine and grabbed a glass and poured in a bit into a glass...."Thank you." I took a sip and began to think about Piper. I think it's high time we get a divorce, because I just couldn't imagine myself with her any more. At this rate, I was sure my heat belonged to Selena. She's the one my soul yearns for and I can't get her if Piper is in the way.Unfortunately, Selena is making me choose ... S
