CLAYTON'S P.O.V

For the first time since I could remember, Aunt Stephanie's presence didn't register in my mind as she yapped on and on.

I couldn't concentrate on what she was saying, not when my mind was still playing my conversation yesterday with Yvonne in a loop.

The first rays of morning sunlight brightened my entire office, making the coral blue and white look sharper. Light spilled in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a fine gold hue on the glass.

I kept my office spacious an

  • Traded to my Husband's CEO Boss    Chapter 101

    YVONNE'S P.O.V“He knows”I rushed out in a quick breath, the words tumbling over themselves before I could stop them. My eyes were wide with panic. ”Clayton, he definitely knows. Did you see the way he looked at us? That wasn't the look of someone buying your inspection story. It's either he figured it out, or he has a hint there's something between us”Clayton merely looked at me like I was amusing and cute at the same timeI pressed a hand against my forehead, letting out a groan. “Oh, God. He's going to spend the rest of the day putting pieces together, then he's going to think back to all the other times when you want all Tarzan all over me. By tomorrow, he'll know for sure. Then what? What if he tells someone? What if the entire company starts talking?" The more I spoke, the more my imagination spiraled, each possibility sounding worse than the last, my heart was pounding, and my mind was turning Clayton was infuriatingly calm. He rested one arm along the steering wheel and w

    YVONNE'S P.O.VI didn't have to answer him, I didn't have to say out the word ‘Yes’ like my heart was screaming at me toThe moment that question left Clayton's lips, he had looked at me once, just once, and he found the answer all over me, like a big, unmistakable sign I was holding upHis entire face softened, and then his lips curled into one of those dangerously heart-stopping smiles. My heart skipped a beat at that look in his navy eyes, the heat and mischief lingering just within reach. Maybe it was just me, but in that instant, everything became so... intense, the proximity of our closeness, the warmth seeping in from his thigh into mine, the musky scent of his cologne.My stomach clenched tightly That small detour sounded so... promising, but there was only one thing standing between us and finally stealing a few precious moments alone.Harrison.Almost as though we were reading each other's minds, Clayton and I turned at the same time.Behind us, Harrison was completely obl

    YVONNE'S P.O.VThe scenery changed almost immediately, and I relaxed Towering coconut palms arched overhead, their leaves dancing in the ocean breeze and creating shifting patterns of sunlight across the road. Clusters of hibiscus flowers bloomed in impossible shades of crimson and orange, while bright bougainvillea spilled over white stone walls like waterfalls of color.To our left, the ocean stretched endlessly into the horizon, every shade of blue imaginable layered together beneath the morning sky. Gentle waves rolled against the shore, leaving ribbons of white foam that disappeared almost as quickly as they came.I couldn't stop looking. “It doesn't even feel real,” I whispered in awe. Clayton smiled without taking his eyes off the road. “The first time I came here, I thought the same thing”The road curved gently around a rocky cliff before opening onto a breathtaking stretch of coastline. Below us, sea turtles drifted lazily through water so clear I could count the patterns

    YVONNE'S P.O.VI tried not to smile, really didBut the moment Mr Voss turned Lucinda down and called for me instead, my heart did the happiest little flip.Around us, the courtyard dissolved into cheerful chaos as employees broke off into their assigned groups. Laughter floated through the warm morning air, cameras clicked from every direction, and excited voices bounced between the palm trees as people hurried toward the waiting resort carts.The retreat had officially begun. Everywhere I looked, there were smiling faces, all except one.Lucinda stood near Cabin Operations with Daisy beside her, watching me from across the courtyard. Even from this distance, I could feel the heavy resentment burning through her sunglasses.I looked away; she wasn't worth my attention.Not when someone else was looking at me as though I were the only person standing on the entire island.My heart did that little flip again, this time it wasn't so little “You're being too obvious,” I murmured beneat

    CLAYTON'S P.O.VBreakfast ended much too quickly for my liking, not because of the food. Between admiring Yvonne and trying to be professional enough not to rouse up questions, I had cleared my plateI didn't even know when or how I finished; all through, my attention had remained exactly where it had been from the moment I walked into the cafeteria, right on her.Every stolen, shy glance she gave me back, every quiet laugh she shared with the people around her table, every time she tucked that loose strand of hair behind her ear.I had spent years mastering discipline and composition; entire companies depended on my ability to focus under pressure, but all Yvonne Young had to do was smile, and I would suddenly have the attention span of a lovesick teenager.I was halfway through my bottle of water when Hale's voice carried over the courtyard. “Ladies and gentlemen, may I have everyone's attention?” Conversations gradually faded until the entire courtyard fell quiet. Employees left t

    CLAYTON'S P.O.VI woke before the sun was fully out in the sky. For what could be long minutes, I simply lay there in the king-size bed, staring at the ceiling while the rhythmic crash of waves drifted through the open balcony doors. The curtains billowed lazily with the ocean breeze seeping through, carrying with them the scent of saltwater and island sandNormally, this place quieted my mind. I had gotten this island as a student at Oxford, and I'd come here whenever I wanted some peace and quiet, away from the noise and overstimulation in my world. Here, there were no repetitive board meetings, no shareholders trying to kiss my ass, no reporters digging into my personal life and prying around for information, no noise at all. Just endless blue ocean, white sand, and enough silence for a man to finally hear himself think. It's why I used to love it here, Today however, that silence irritated me. I was supposed to wake up to. the sweet sounds of Yvonne's fluttering breath, with
