Piper's POV

“Ma’am, you can't have any more ice cream today.” Lucille, the housekeeper muttered as she stood over me, watching me empty the fourth bowl of ice cream for that day.

I sighed and threw my hands on the couch.

“But I'm bored and tired. There's nothing for me to do. I hate this life.” I whined, close to tears. Lucille sucked in her breath for the hundredth time and I won't blame the poor girl.

    Piper's POV “Ma’am, you can't have any more ice cream today.” Lucille, the housekeeper muttered as she stood over me, watching me empty the fourth bowl of ice cream for that day. I sighed and threw my hands on the couch.“But I'm bored and tired. There's nothing for me to do. I hate this life.” I whined, close to tears. Lucille sucked in her breath for the hundredth time and I won't blame the poor girl. That was the sixth…seventh…time I was saying the same thing that day. She had definitely grown tired of hearing me whine. I could see it in her eyes when she looked at me with surprise and impatience. Like she couldn't understand why I was complaining when I had all that luxury at my beck and call. But I wasn't even far gone in my pregnancy. I could still work and live my life normally…if I didn't have a psychotic ex-husband waiting around to kill me and my unborn child. I turned my eyes to Lucille again. “Can you order just one more bowl?” I sniffed. “Please…I won't ask for more

  • THE COLD CEO UNKNOWN HEIR   chapter 49

    Ethan's POV Piper wouldn't cheat on me…or would she? I shook my head for the umpteenth time as the thought sat on my mind heavily. When I went in search of Piper, I wasn't expecting to find the most shocking news instead.It wasn't a surprise that Jace planted an explosion to rescue her, and ordinarily, that would've gotten me upset and worked up, as Christopher would still be on my neck, but for some reason, I was more baffled by something else. Luckily, Selena, Christopher, and I had managed to escape the explosion with minimal injuries, but none of that affected me as much as Christopher's words did. Not even the pain from getting treatment bugged me as much as the last words he shared did. For the past few days, sleep evaded my eyes. I couldn't bring myself to close my eyes…not even for a second. All I could do was toss and turn around the bed, and when Selena wouldn't stop complaining that I was ruining her beauty sleep, I resorted to sleep at my bar…after multiple bottles o

    Jace's POVNo, there was no meeting. It may have been pretty obvious to Piper that it was a silly, low-effort excuse I used to escape her, but she wouldn't understand why it was so hard for me to lean into her. I sighed as her flushed face appeared in my head again. I tried to imagine what she was thinking in her head while watching me scurry into the car like a spineless coward. It would be useless to explain anything to her; besides, I wasn't going to pursue anything with her until our baby was born. I figured it was better to wait until the baby arrives before developing my feelings for her to reduce the risks of a complicated relationship. But just like other times, I was unable to get her out of my head. Piper was the only thing I could think of, even when I didn't mean to.My world slowly seemed to revolve around her without my doing. As I drove off from the estate, my heart ached to be leaving her behind all alone. She wasn't leaving anytime soon because I couldn't trust

  • THE COLD CEO UNKNOWN HEIR   chapter 47

    Piper's POV Two days later, and we're back at home. My fear of getting attacked by Ethan wouldn't let me breathe at the hospital,l and I guess Jace saw this and pulled strings to make the doctors discharge me on time. My body was scarred with multiple injuries from getting punched, kicked, and slapped, but as long as the doctor assured me that my baby only needed rest to live, nothing else mattered to me. In addition to getting me discharged earlier, Jace also got a live-in doctor to stay at the house and cater to me. Talk about premium treatment. On a normal day, I would've protested and said he was doing too much,h but I was too scared for my baby to complain about it. However, I had never felt more grateful for anyone in my life like I did for Jace. I couldn't believe I spent years enduring Ethan's terrible treatment.After we got back to the house, Jace took his time to scold the housekeepers and guards in my presence,e which made me feel extremely guilty, so much that I co

  • THE COLD CEO UNKNOWN HEIR   chapter 46

    Piper's POV I don't know how many times I've lost consciousness, but I should definitely get a Guinness World Record by now. Those were the first things that came to my mind as soon as my eyes started fluttering again. Somewhere in my head, I expected to be tied to another chair or perhaps, in a moving van. Since it was starting to become my norm, I wouldn't be surprised if I just woke up and found Ethan and Selena standing over my half-deadHowever, my eyes opened faster than I expected, and what I saw when I woke up, wasn't quite what I was expecting. A hospital light, light blue curtains draped on two sides of the room, multiple IV lines passed into my body and connected to a machine that wouldn't stop beeping behind my ears. The instant I recognized I was in the hospital, a stale smell wafted into my nose, almost making me puke, but I held back. I couldn't help my surprise the more my eyes wandered around the room. “Did Ethan bring me to the hospital just so he can hurt me ag

    Piper's POV His voice struck a nerve in my chest. I stared right into the dark before me, yet the only thing I could make out was the silhouette of a tall, foreboding presence that made my skin crawl with fear. All that attitude I had earlier vanished instantly as soon as the silhouette approached me. I leaned back into the chair with my heart in my mouth. Tears started to roll out of my eyes before I could even say a word. “You're scared, huh?” His voice boomed in my chest. Everywhere in the room went dead silent; not even the slightest fall of a pin could break the silence. I still couldn't see his face in the dark, yet I knew who he was by the sound of his voice and the effect he was having on me. I clamped my fists tightly, hoping desperately that the universe would open up and just swallow me. As I closed my eyes in fear, his face flashed in my head. The first time he had me tied to a chair like this, how I'd barely managed to escape. His legs inched closer to my face, a

    Piper's povWhen I woke up, I squinted at the brightness of the room. I tried to get up but my entire body ached. I let out a soft groan and gently laid back on the bed. 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

    PIPER'S POV"He wants you to move in with him?" Anna asked with her gaze on the permit Mr. Langford's Secretary handed to me earlier today."Apparently.", I replied nervously biting my fingers."Do you think that's a great idea?" Anna asked, her brows curled." Well, I told him I love very far away

    Ethan's pov."Selena has returned, and so?" I asked, trying to calm myself down as Piper's questions only irritated me the more. I unbuttoned my shirt and started dressing up so I could meet up with office work that day."I was wondering if you've heard from or been in contact with her?"I paused a

    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
