The CEO'S SECRET BRIDE CHAPTER 29: Missing
Just like every normal day I was awake again, with Carson by my side.“You slept well,” he said.“I did,” I smiled back. “I feel safe with you."I said.He brushed my hair gently with his fingers. “Always,” he whispered.We had breakfast together—just toast and tea. It was quiet, calm. We didn’t talk about the flash drive, the names, or the past. For a short moment, it was like all the danger had disappeared.But that peace didn’t last.***********Later that day, I said I wanted to go for a quick walk, just to clear my head. Carson offered to come, but I told him I’d be fine.“I’ll only be gone for twenty minutes,” I said.He hesitated. “Are you sure?”he asked.I nodded. “I just need some air. I’ll be back before you miss me.”I said chuckling.He chuckled. “Too late. I already miss you.”he said.I gave him a soft kiss and left. That was the last time he saw me.***********Thirty minutes passed, then an hour also and Carson didn't see me.Carson started to worry, he called my phone an
The CEO'S SECRET BRIDE CHAPTER 28: Silent Moves
The morning was calm, but I woke up with a strange feeling like something is going to happen, although I don't know what it's going to be yet.I rolled over and looked at Carson. He was already awake, lying on his back, staring at the ceiling.“You didn’t sleep?” I asked.“Barely,” he replied.I reached for his hand under the blanket. “Still thinking about the names?”I asked.He nodded. “Yes. Henry Clark, Laura Price and Fiona. Those names aren’t just names. They’re shadows. And we have to be careful,”he said.I nodded slowly.“Greg is already in prison,” Carson said. “He’s locked up. That part is over. But he wasn't at the top, he was just a piece in the game.”I sat up in bed. “So now we’re after the players behind the scenes,"I said.“Yes,” he said. “But not loudly, we need to be silent… and smart,”he added.********We got ready slowly that morning. Carson made toast while I brewed coffee, the news was still showing updates about Greg’s arrest.They said he had been transferred to
The CEO'S SECRET BRIDE CHAPTER 27: Quite Comfort
The morning was so quiet. It was just me, Carson, and the soft sunlight filling the living room. I hadn’t felt this calm in weeks, maybe months.I stretched on the couch, barefoot and wrapped in one of Carson’s soft shirts. Carson walked in from the kitchen, holding two mugs.“One with milk, just the way you like,” he said, handing it to me.I smiled. “You always remember,"I said.“I try,” he replied, sitting beside me.We didn’t speak for a moment. We just drank slowly, letting the peace cover us like a blanket.Then he looked at me.“You look different today,” he said.I raised an eyebrow. “Different how?"I asked.He leaned back and smiled. “Softer. Lighter. Like you finally took a breath,”he replied.I smiled a little. “Maybe I did. Maybe it’s the first time in a long while that I feel… safe."I said.Carson reached for my hand. “You’re safe with me,” he said gently.“I know,” I whispered.*********Later that afternoon, we went for a walk and we walked slowly, our fingers locked t
The CEO'S SECRET BRIDE CHAPTER 26: The Visit
After the whole issue with Bridget, I suddenly felt the need to go to the prison to see my father. I had been avoiding this day for so long, and knew it was coming.“I feel the need to see my father,”I said to Carson.“Truth be told, I've thought of it too,”He replied.“Let's go by noon,”I said.“Okay ma'am “.**********Carson was quiet all morning. He knew how much I was struggling so he didn’t ask questions, but I could see it in his eyes—he wanted to be there for me, no matter how hard it would be.It was finally noon and we drove straight to the prison, although it was a quiet drive but I feel there's a lot going on, in our minds.“You don’t have to do this,” he said finally, as we sat in the car outside the prison gates.I squeezed his hand. “I do. I have to hear it from him. I need to know the truth,"I said.Carson nodded, but his face was filled with concern. “I’ll be right there. No matter what happens,”he said.We sat in silence for a moment. The thought of seeing my fathe
The CEO'S SECRET BRIDE CHAPTER 25: Lion's Den
The moment Carson walked out the door, I felt cold, I stood there for a long time, not knowing what to do. Fred watched me.“You’re not really going to let him go alone, are you?” he asked.I turned to him slowly. “I don’t want to,” I said. “But he told me not to follow,"I added.Fred crossed his arms. “And you’re just going to listen to that?”he said.“I don’t know,” I whispered. “I’m scared,"I said.Fred picked up his phone. “Let’s track him,”he said.I stared at him.“You said his phone has a location on, right?” he asked.I nodded slowly.“Then we’ll follow from a distance,” he said. “Quietly. No shouting, no jumping in unless we have to.”he said.“Okay,” I said. “But we'll stay back,"I replied.“Promise,” Fred replied.We followed the little blue dot on Fred’s phone screen. Carson was driving to the edge of town, near the old storage lots. The place looked empty on the map, but I didn’t like it. Not one bit.“Why would she ask him to meet here?” I asked.“Because she doesn’t wan
The CEO'S SECRET BRIDE CHAPTER 24: peace Fading
I didn’t sleep much that night, I just laid in bed with my eyes open, staring at the ceiling, thinking about everything. My heart felt heavy and noisy with different thoughts running through it.Carson didn’t come to bed, although I didn’t tell him not to… but he knew I needed space.**********By morning, I stepped out of the room. Carson was on the couch, sitting with his hands together, elbows on his knees. He looked tired, like he hadn’t slept either.He stood when he saw me.“Good morning,” he said, softly.“Morning,” I replied.We stood there in silence for a moment.Then I sat on the couch and he sat too, but not too close.“I’m sorry,” he said.I nodded. “I know,”I replied.He sighed. “I should’ve told you everything from the start. About Bridget. About the fake engagement. About everything,”he said.I looked at him. “Why didn’t you?”I asked.“I was scared,” he replied. “Scared you’d walk away. Scared it would ruin everything.”he said again.I looked down at my hands.“But hid
