Chapter 28

Piper's POV

“Piper, you can't keep yourself locked in all day.” Mr Langford's voice bellowed outside the door.

Inside my room, I buried my head even deeper under the sheets and bit my lips hard until the sour taste of blood stained my tongue.

I still couldn't fathom why I had behaved like a rabid dog on heat. My heart started to pick up faster beats at the sound of his voice.

I closed my second, wishing he would just leave me to wallow in my misery. My hands swiftly covered my ea

  • THE COLD CEO UNKNOWN HEIR   Chapter 29

    Chapter 29. Ethan's POV My hand gripped the rear of my mouse harder, the heat in my office fanning my skin. I traced my fingers along the line on the mouse while my lips remained tightly pursed as my eyes took in the scene playing before my eyes. Piper stabbing Christopher in the chest with what seemed like a hidden knife…the desperation and raw….unfiltered rage in her eyes sent shivers down my spine. My breath was stuck in my lungs, unable to grasp the thought of my ex-wife being an expert fighter. That was the only way I could explain her escape from Christopher. But I'd never seen her so furious. Had she hiding something from me during our marriage? Was there more to the innocent little Piper that I tried to break with my words? My hands slowly crossed over to my thighs, gripping them tight. After staring at nothing else but my computer screen for hours, I didn't need any more explanation about why Christopher desperately wanted to get his hands on Piper. And I had to get

    Chapter 28Piper's POV “Piper, you can't keep yourself locked in all day.” Mr Langford's voice bellowed outside the door. Inside my room, I buried my head even deeper under the sheets and bit my lips hard until the sour taste of blood stained my tongue. I still couldn't fathom why I had behaved like a rabid dog on heat. My heart started to pick up faster beats at the sound of his voice. I closed my second, wishing he would just leave me to wallow in my misery. My hands swiftly covered my ears when I heard him knocking again. I almost cussed at him to leave but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I remained that way for a while, with my heart slamming against my ribcage until I slowly decided to pull away and to my surprise, I could no longer hear him. Silence swallowed my room and without being told, I pushed the cover away, with my heart in my mouth and slowly sat up. “Did he really leave?” I thought to myself, feeling a mix of relief and emptiness. I wanted him to leave, right

    Chapter 27Ethan's POV “Baby, this is a risky move. We can't afford to do it.” Selena raised her voice slightly. My eyes ignored the urge to take a glimpse at her. Instead, I let my gaze falter over the large, transparent window separating my office from the city. Selena was sitting in my chair in a short, slutty, red dress that barely covered her body. “I know but what would you have me do,” I grunted. “Christopher wants to take his revenge on her personally, I can't refuse that.” I added, swallowing hard. Her image floated in my head like an unwanted pest. The freckles on her face, her big, innocent eyes that would do anything but stick to their place. Selena grunted a response under her breath but I didn't care. I cracked my fingers against each other, dwelling in the thoughts of bringing Piper back to my life. .“That stubborn bitch! She just can't leave our lives, can she?” Selena clicked her teeth in frustration. We were both riled up because there was just too much at st

    Chapter 26Piper's POV “Are you really not going to say anything to me?” Mr Langford’s voice seeped through the heavy silence in the car. For a second, I almost turned my eyes to look at him but I forced my head to remain stuck to the window. We were in a Lamborghini, one of the cars Ethan would never have allowed me to go near in his house. Not even if I was dying.My ex-husband would go into cardiac arrest, lose his head, and turn into a raging animal if he ever saw me near any of his luxurious cars. But here was a total stranger, reaching for me in his car. The air conditioning in the car swayed against my skin, making me snuggle closer to my sweater, pulling further away from Jace. I hated being in that position but I just couldn't help it. Ruby's face was flashing in my head like a police siren. The burning glare on her face made my skin crawl with fear. My mind was far gone into the distance. Something about her actions reminded me of Selena. The woman who ruined my marria

    Chapter 25Piper's POV“This is the board room.” Ruby's voice finally broke through the thick air of silence between us. Her brown eyes sharply cut through my gaze as she pushed a huge, transparent glass door open. The burning glare on her face almost burned through my skin….if it could. “Uhm…yeah…thank you….” I stuttered, clinging at the sleeve of my sweater as I walked in. The walk from my office down to this place had to be the longest walk of my life. Ruby kept muttering cuss words under her breath. A strong, sweet scent flushed across my nose as soon as I stepped into the board room. Two long lines of chairs and a long table stretched from the beginning of the room. As I glanced around the room, the memories of Ethan in his board room washed up in my head. Every single thing about his meeting days replayed in my head, often because I admired him the most on those days. The sharp line of his trouser gators, the crispiness of his well ironed tuxedo, his smooth, yet contrasting

    Piper povBy the time we arrived at the company, one of the doormen grabbed the bags from the car, “Take those to her office.” He said to them as we all made it towards my office when Ruby appeared.“Mr Langford, you’ve returned.” She started with a smug look on her face. She darted her eyes at the shopping bags, “Is this what took you all so long?” With a single finger, she pulled one of the bags slightly open and peeped inside, then she raised her gaze to me, and ran her eyes through me with a look of disgust on her face. She then turned to Jace, “Mr Langford, you took her shopping?”“And what gives you the right to question me like that?” Jace said to her with an expressionless face as he gestured to the man with the bags where he could drop them.Ruby chuckled, very uncomfortable, “Sorry, sir, I’m just surprised to see this, it just had to be at lunch time.”He glared at her, “Did you do what I delegated you to do?” “Yes, of course, sir.” She hurried to the other side of the desk

I asked rhetorically. I let out a sigh, "I'm unavailable for any business calls and meetings at the moment. I can't be h

My eyeballs perching from one corner to the other, I scanned the room, I was the only one in there. With my gaze resting on the m
