Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride]: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

Ivanna The rays of the morning sun tease me as I squirm on the bed with a slight soreness. I love this feeling in the morning. It's not like I didn't love it that morning— I did but messed up the entire thing.  I open my eyes with a wide smile to find Christian's eyes on me. To my surprise, he is half-laid next to me, darting his eyes on the phone.  Seriously!  Wasn't he staring at me that morning until I woke up? Or was it only for the first time? Now, I'll have to get used to it, huh? I frown, gritting my teeth at him. He doesn't even realise that I have woken up. I move on the bed deliberately to grab his attention.  And it work

Kane   "We need to divide the staff in a few corps for further progress. There should be a change in the entire system", I say, making a column on the processor.    "It's gonna be a lengthy process, Sir", Nicole says from behind.   "But we don't have an option left. Christian is finally acting like a boss— leaving for anywhere anytime and dumping work on the employees. So, basically, the CEO is a family man now and he can't be the same as before", I can't help laughing.   "That's true. I can't believe he used to leave work only for six hours of sleep", Nicole adds.    "Better for you also, right?"  

Christian I can hear Ivanna breathing heavily after speaking about everything she has inside; even though I know there are still a lot of things that remained unsaid between us, piled up for the right time. I don't know when the right time is gonna arrive but, certainly, I'm not gonna let her go, no matter how hurtful and deep the secrets are, I just can't let her go.  I hold her hand upon my chest and turn around. I can see her face shining rosy through the bonfire. Her eyes glisten with eye contact, filled with an urge— as if she badly wants me to respond.  Spiralling my arms around her waist, I pull her up from the ground as our noses touch. She closes her eyes immediately as a sign of insistence

  Christian We're lying on the open meadow, still staring at the sky. At first, I didn't feel like watching the lanterns because I was more interested to watch her. But she literally scolded the hell out of me and forced me to look up there. According to her, I would eventually watch her anytime but she could never make me see the beauty around me all the time.  Later, it felt great and my eyes soothed with the bright view. I have never thought to spend my time idly looking at the sky. Even looking at myself in the mirror was a waste of time for me.  But this girl! She didn't change at all. I remember the evenings when I used to study extra lessons even after finishing the homework. She used to yell from her balcony and call me at my balcony. Our homes were just a few feet apart. She used to make me feel the breeze of the night, watching the stars and fireflies. Those days were something I would never forget. She was

Ivanna I'm sore. My entire body feels so damn numb after this workout— almost five months later I have visited the gym. I think it was a wrong move for me to reach the campus directly from the gym. I still have an hour before the class starts. The campus is filling gradually.  "Hey, girl", Emily joins me from somewhere.  "Hey, good morning. You're so early today", I roll my eyes. "Well, who can turn down handsome men?" She beams, looking somewhere— just like an idiot! "What?" I exclaim.  "Huh! Nothing", she mumbles.
