The CEO's Revenge Bride Chaper 8: Lets do it
The ink on the first draft of the prenuptial agreement was barely dry when Charlotte found herself sitting in the quiet darkness of Ethan’s office after hours. The rest of the forty-eight floor was entirely empty, the glowing lights of the Manhattan skyline casting long, geometric shadows across the mahogany desk that separated them."There is one more condition," Ethan said. He leaned forward, cutting through the dim warmth of the single desk lamp. His blue eyes were fixed on her, completely stripped of their usual corporate armor, revealing a cold, calculated intensity. "And this one isn't for the lawyers to draft. This is a pact between the two of us."Charlotte paused, her pen hovering just a fraction of an inch above the signature line. The heavy silence of the office made her acutely aware of her own breathing. "What kind of condition?""Nobody can ever know about this contract," Ethan said, his voice dropping to a low, commanding whisper that sent a chill straight down her spin
The CEO's Revenge Bride Chapter 7: absolutely not
To her irritation, genuine amusement flickered in his eyes. Instead of looking offended or discouraged, he looked almost entertained by her reaction."You don't even know the question."Charlotte stared at him as though he had completely lost touch with reality."I know exactly what the question is."Ethan folded his arms across his chest and leaned back slightly in his chair. "Then humor me."For several seconds they simply stared at one another across the desk. Charlotte refused to look away, silently hoping that sheer determination might somehow convince him to abandon whatever ridiculous idea had formed inside his head. Unfortunately, Ethan Calloway was one of the most stubborn men she had ever met. The longer she looked at him, the more obvious it became that he wasn't going to let the matter go.Eventually, she let out a frustrated groan."Fine."The moment she agreed, Ethan leaned forward slightly. The movement was small, but it immediately made her uneasy."I want you to marry
The CEO's Revenge Bride Chapter 6: The Proposal
Charlotte spent the next two days convincing herself that Friday night had been a bizarre accident that would eventually fade into an embarrassing memory.Unfortunately, the universe seemed determined to make that impossible.Every time she entered a room, Ethan was already there. Every time she looked up from her computer, she caught him watching her through the glass walls of his office. He wasn't staring in an inappropriate way, nor was he acting differently enough for anyone else to notice, but Charlotte noticed. She noticed because she spent most of her day trying not to think about him, and failing spectacularly.By Wednesday afternoon, she was reviewing occupancy reports for three properties in California when her desk phone rang."Charlotte speaking.""Ethan would like to see you in his office."She closed her eyes.Of course he would."Thank you."The call ended.Charlotte stared at the receiver for several seconds before standing. She smoothed the front of her navy blouse an
The CEO's Revenge Bride Chapter 5: Monday Morning
Charlotte reached her desk and immediately buried herself in work. Emails, schedules, meeting requests, and endless administrative tasks quickly filled her screen. For approximately fourteen minutes, the strategy worked perfectly.Then Ethan appeared beside her desk.Again."Charlotte."Reluctantly, she looked up."Yes?"He held out a folder."Our meeting schedule."She accepted it, and their fingers brushed for the briefest second. The contact was meaningless, accidental, and entirely unimportant. Yet her pulse reacted anyway, which only irritated her further.Ridiculous.She hated this.What made it worse was that Ethan appeared just as uncomfortable. His expression remained controlled, but there was a stiffness in his posture that hadn't existed before Friday night.Good.At least she wasn't suffering alone."Anything else?" she asked."No."A brief silence followed. Then another.Finally, Ethan turned and walked away.Charlotte released a slow breath and returned her attention to

Interesting. .That suggested someone important.Or someone who thought he was important."What about you?""I work for a hotel company.""Doing what?""Administrative work."There was a brief pause before he responded."You sound smarter than that."Charlotte felt herself smile."You don't even know me.""I know enough."The compliment shouldn't have affected her.Yet somehow it did.Perhaps because it didn't sound rehearsed or flirtatious. It sounded honest.The conversation continued effortlessly after that. Minutes blended together until Charlotte lost track of time entirely. They talked about work, ambitions, travel, and the goals they rarely shared with other people. Before she realized it, she was discussing her dream of one day managing a luxury resort of her own.The man listened.Actually listened.That alone made him different from most people she had met.At one point their hands accidentally brushed across the table. Charlotte immediately pulled back, embarrassed by the c
The CEO's Revenge Bride Chapter 3:Blind Date
Charlotte Bennett stared at the email for nearly a full minute before sighing and closing her laptop.Then she opened it again.The message was still there.Unfortunately.Congratulations! Your application has been accepted.Blind Match Elite invites you to attend an exclusive private event tomorrow evening at 8:00 PM.Charlotte groaned."What was I thinking?""You were thinking that you've spent the last two years working seventy-hour weeks and haven't been on a date since college."Her best friend, Madison, didn't even bother looking up from her phone.Charlotte rolled her eyes."Thank you for your support.""You're welcome."Madison finally looked up from her phone and fixed Charlotte with a determined expression."You're going.""I am not.""You absolutely are."With a groan, Charlotte dropped her head onto the desk separating them. The tiny apartment she rented in Queens was barely large enough for two people, yet she and Madison had somehow made it work for almost three years. S
