The Fake Heiress’s Ruthless CEO 22: Wedding Reception
•Odette•The last time I smiled this much that caused my face to hurt was at my father’s birthday celebration four months ago. I’d been forced to pretend everyone’s jokes were funny and that their compliments were nice.After the party, I had to ice my face and treat myself to a facial massage. I had a feeling I was going to do the same tomorrow.The wedding reception was in full swing. The smile on my face didn’t falter a bit. Not too bright, polite, pretty. Smiling perfectly was one of the most important traits to have as a business person.I was kinda finding something I knew how to do very well a bit hard to do now that Draven Lockwood was glued to my side with an arm never leaving my waist.“What location’s the honeymoon? Maybe I can swing by and tag along.” Henry Hawk tried to joke with us, looking drunk as fuck.Draven still smiled at his friend like the guy was in his right senses and said, “No honeymoon for now. Maybe later.”Ah, yes. How were the two of us supposed to have a
The Fake Heiress’s Ruthless CEO 21: Incomparable
•Odette•I had always imagined what my wedding day would be like. Soft lighting, a hall filled with important business partners, Tristen smiling idiotically throughout the day, me doing my best not to slip up at anything.My parents stressing about every single detail. Cameras. Cameras upon cameras, taking thousands of pictures that would appear on the front page of every magazine the day after.My real wedding was nothing at all like what I imagined.It was more peaceful… yet glamorous.Early in the morning, Draven and I prepared lightly to get our marriage certificate and took a few pictures at the bureau.Later on, we parted ways to get ready for the main event. A makeup artist came over and had my look for the day perfected. The only other person in the room with us was Nikki.And she made sure we never forgot her presence, mouthing off about how she couldn’t believe that I managed to bag THE Draven Lockwood in the shortest amount of time.After we got ready, my father, who I had
The Fake Heiress’s Ruthless CEO 20: Quite a bit ugly
•Odette•Dinner was filled with interrogation and unveiling. I was the one being interrogated, Draven’s childhood was what was being unveiled.Grandpa William had asked about my alma mater, my discipline, hobbies, likes, dislikes, and all. It was like the two of us were on a blind date and I was the one who did all the talking.That was until the topic somehow shifted to Draven, and Grandpa William began to talk about his childhood. One would’ve thought that a man like Draven would have been a menace while growing up, but it was actually the opposite. He was such a well-behaved kid; respectful to his elders, polite, gentle. Until he wasn’t.Grandpa William said it took only one day for Draven to transform from a peaceful angel into a dirty Rottweiler—yes, the man compared his grandson to an untrained dog. Draven had learned how to backtalk so fast that it surprised everyone around him.He picked up friends who were skilled at being bad kids, and he never once looked back.The more Gr
The Fake Heiress’s Ruthless CEO 19: Sponsoring future
•Odette•I didn’t take Draven’s words seriously because I knew very well that after three years, I would be returning to my own personal life and there would be nothing linking me with the Lockwood family anymore.At least, I hoped so.Draven’s grandfather arrived before my water did. He seemed to come in from the back entrance of the house. His eyes were a duller shade of green in comparison to Draven’s eye color.William Lockwood should be in his seventies, but he damned well could pass as a man in his mid forties. If their family wasn’t so rich in business, they would make bank off selling just their face cards. Old William was a bit too cool for his age. He was sitting on an electric wheelchair, casually smoking an e-cig without a care for the world expression on his face.However, I never knew William Lockwood had issues with his legs. I gave Draven a questioning look, and he rolled his eyes, saying, “He’s just lazy.”My mouth formed a small ‘o.’“Your left eye, that’s what lazy
The Fake Heiress’s Ruthless CEO 18: Macho-man
•Odette•With the use of my peripheral vision, I watched Draven, finding it difficult to peel my eyes off him. We were seated at the back of one of his cars on the way to meet with his grandfather for dinner.I should be nervous. I should be thinking of how to perfect a loving act with Draven in front of the man. Yet, all I could think about was two nights ago.An incident that I half remembered. I couldn’t remember from the point where Draven had reminded me to pick up my purse in the private lounge. I couldn’t remember how I got home.I damn well couldn’t remember who had taken off my heels and given me a foot massage. Even though I couldn’t remember, I knew that it wouldn’t be anyone other than Draven.Only he would know my address and how to get into my house without my personal assistance. As crazy and criminal as he was. I never thought he would care about me enough to the point where he would rub my feet. I must have been in pain, no doubt about that. Every day in heels from d
The Fake Heiress’s Ruthless CEO 17: Lash Serum
•Draven•My right lash line hurt like crazy after getting the lashes there plucked by a drunk Odette Valmont. I exhaled through my mouth, trying to ease the pain.I stared at Odette’s dewy eyes and pouty pink lips after she answered my question. She didn’t even act like she’d done any wrong. My lack of follow-up words made her cock her head to one side, letting her thick brown hair cover the right side of her face.“What lash serum do you use?” she asked, her light brown eyes growing brighter as she fixated on my own eyes; my lashes, probably.“Odette’s personal lash-growing serum.” I answered without thinking.“Really??” She bounced on her toes, excited to be told what she must consider a super top secret.“No. That’s a lie.” I pulled her closer to me and stretched a hand to stop an incoming cab.“How could you?” Odette spoke with a betrayed tone.I didn’t look at her because I had already pictured her face in my head, and just the imaginary visuals could send me spiralling. “Keep
