THE CEO'S PAWN의 모든 챕터: 챕터 91 - 챕터 100

It wasn't a surprise to Bree why Margo Pat's for this talented woman to be her stylist.While she wasn't the best with her attitude, she was excused because she made up for it with the skills of her hand.The art she painted on Bree's face was flawless and in honesty, it made her feel really beautiful.It's been a long time since she's even paid her face such attention.It didn't matter if she had only a dabbing of powder on her face and a smidgen of lipstick on her lip or nothing at all, she had nobody she was trying to impress or anything.It's been a while since she's actually paid thought to such details even, she had more important things like her baby on the way to think of.The woman that stared back at her from the small dressing mirror in her room was gorgeous, confident and a lot more.For one night, she was going to let herself feel good about being her without considering how rough it's been and how bad things were getting

God, it was him.Bree knee that even before she lifted her head finally to have a look at him.Seeing him again, after all these months slammed her in the face harder than anything else in her whole entire life ever have.She just stood there like a fool, staring at him with a roller coaster of emotions barreling through her.She hated him do much right now, yet her heart swelled with the intensity of the love she's tried to bury in the months since he'd left her without so much as a word.He'd just upped and gone, no explanations, no goodbye and she wouldn't have known if she hadn't marched up to his doors to demand answers in why there was suddenly two million dollars sitting in her account.She'd meant that little to him, probably still does, and that was why it broke her heart piece by piece to finally be standing before him and not have the words to haul at him, to explain the emotions slamming her insides hard."Cupcake."

The night hadn't gone the way Bree had envisioned it would, no, it hadn't even come close.Everything that had happened back at the Rozey had just slammed through her like a roller coaster and at some point it had been as if she was an outsider, staring into her own life through some kind of window.It had been that bad and she'd felt even worse.I mean, what were the chances that she'd meet Ryder of all the people on the planet Earth at this one function she'd been let to attend and worst of all, he'd turned out to be her boss' current male obsession.It was all just crazy and even now, she hasn't even began to come to terms with the fact that she's currently jobless, pregnant and saddled with a baby daddy that ran for the hills after what had happened between them in the past.Her life was just at that point where all she wants to do is shut her eyes and sleep and not wake up until she's slept this nightmare away.Unchecked tears made thei

His touch....The soft, intimate tease of his fingers against her skin in his usual caress that never fails to give her goosebumps......It was one of the things she'd missed the most after Ryder had upped and disappeared on her.That barely there brush of his fingers against her skin had brought the bittersweet memories of the good days rushing back into her head and she'd flinched away from him in response.When she let her eyes find his, the hurt she'd caused was bare as day in his beautiful orbs, that was before he blinked it away and replaced it with his usual poker face look that totally blocks you out of his head.He took a step back from her, his hands slipping into the pocket of his fancy pants as if to keep him from reaching for her again.That was disappointing, for some reason."I'll be in the kitchen if you need anything, you should have that bath now, the water is running cold." She didn't want him to leave

Bree stayed in the living room while Ryder showered, her body still burning and needing from that stunt he'd pulled on her back there.She'd come so close to begging him to take her........What had he been thinking touching her like that?Probably hoped to get her right back into his bed like nothing had happened between them and he didn't just up and disappear on her for months, until now.Good thing she wasn't that naive, obtuse thing he'd played like the pied Piper to his bed back then.No, she was a stronger, better and wiser woman, a soon to be mother to their child and........she still wanted him and might have let him have her just then if he hadn't called quits .Fuck.That's not how this is supposed to be but yet.......How is it still possible to want just this one man after everything she's been through thanks to him?Maybe she was just born with this mighty, insatiable appetite for hurt, verbal abuse and hea
