Semua Bab Return of the CEO's Empress : Bab 71 - Bab 80

Jonathan arrived later than usual, after taking a shower he entered Alexandra's room. Lights were off except for the lava lamp illuminating on the nightstand. Alexandra lays soundless on the bed with her eyes peacefully closed. He smiled and sat next to her bed. He wondered how someone can look so gorgeous while sleeping, with her mouth partly opened. A little bit of drool sticking at the corner of her mouth. He wiped it off using his thumb. He was startled as she grabbed his wrist. Alexandra frowned and cast open her eyes."Were you asleep?" He asked.Clicking her tongue, she lets go of his hand. "No, I was practicing for my funeral." 

Halton sat on his work desk, listening to some of the audio files Alexandra had sent. Jane Warren sat opposite to him, pretending to review the paperwork he handed her while secretly admiring how his face turned stoic as he listened.  They were distracted by Halton's phone ringing beside his Macbook.  He picked up the call without glancing at the ID. "Hello?"  "It's me...Evan." A meek and hesitant voice said.  He was taken aback hearing the soothing sound of the woman he loved. "What's up?" He asked, a smile adorning his handsomeness. Jane wondered who was capable enough to make him smile like that. Is he seeing someone?  "Are you busy?" Evan asked, nervously biting her thumb. Halton instantly closed his Macbook. "No, what's wrong?" He asked worriedly. "I have a favour to ask...can we meet up at my house?" She asked, preparing herself to hear a refusal.  Halton got up, surprising Jane Warre

Halton was woken up by the bothersome beep of his alarm. He crept his hand and around the bedside stand and finally silenced it. Getting up from the heavenly bed, he scratched his bare chest and let out a droopy yawn. He dawdled towards the bathroom and brushed his teeth while still standing in the shower, wiped the wet mirror to reflect on his face, and shaved his stubble. He went inside the walk-in closet and got dressed in a black, three-piece formal suit. He skipped preparing breakfast since he will be eating at an Italian restaurant like every morning. He was too lazy to cook breakfast for himself so he preferred eating at a restaurant. After locking the door, he got in his Mercedes and drove away, after a few minutes on the road something clicked. 'Am I forgetting something?' Events that took place yesterday collapsed on him like a grenade. 'Oh, Shit! I have a kid!' Halton raced the car back home and unlocked the door, looking franticall

After changing into a comfy hoodie and sweatpants, Jordan got downstairs for lunch. It was then Halton cared to notice her latest hairstyle, last time she had dyed it bronze and now it was platinum.  Jordan was capricious when it comes to her appearance and partners. She changed them on a whim, this is one of the reasons why Jordan is still single. Who wants to date a god damn chameleon? "I want a boyfriend." Halton's eyes sprang after he heard this sudden declaration from his sister. "Weren't you dating Natasha a few weeks ago?" Halton asked. "We broke up," Jordan said, their time in Milan was nothing more than a one-night stand. Plus, Natasha wasn't a committed person just like Jordan.   Jordan was quite good-looking; clear dark chocolate skin, hazel eyes she inherited from their mother. An appealing button nose, chiselled cheekbones. With her looks, she could easily hook some big fish.   "My phone's

Jacob checked himself in his car's rearview mirror, he wore a designer navy blue shirt and white pants. This wasn't a real date, but he wanted to look dashing for Rhea Armando. Not to impress her, but to make her regret tossing him away three years ago.  Jacob entered the restaurant where his blind date was set, some of the ladies ogled the spirited young man as he strode inside. He removed his shades, revealing those precious blue eyes. He lifted an amicable smile in front of a bewildered woman.  "Why are you here?" Rhea asked right away, she was eager to see Jonathan, not her ex.  Jacob simply grinned at her unhappy expression. He sat opposite to her and hung his shades on his deep V neck. He wasn't particularly brawny like Jonathan, but his boyish charm was simply irresistible. "I am your date."  Rhea frowned upon hearing this. "What about your brother?"  Jacob clicked his tongue, seems like she hadn't changed much
