Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride]의 모든 챕터: 챕터 81 - 챕터 90

IvannaMy brain stops functioning right away as I gawk at him in disbelief, shaking my head. Closing my eyes tightly, I strive to wake up. It has to be a nightmare.It better be one. "Face it, Ivanna", Adrian husks in a low tone as I feel him getting closer to me.I take my steps back, widening my eyes at him. He's staring at me intensely. "Face the truth", he groans."It's not. It can't be", I can hardly speak. "It won't change if you want it to be, Ivanna", as he gets closer to me, softly speaking, I take another step back.If he's the one, I'm surely in love with him.But I don't know why it feels so wrong. So damn wrong. It feels so sinful to get closer to him."It's true that—" his hand lifts towards my face but I immediately nudge it away. My body shivers with anticipation as I don't even dare to look at him. 

IvannaMy eyes widen at the screen. Cold shivers run across my body and I cut the call right away without assessing anything. My heartbeats raise again. I look at Christian.I can't do this. Responding to Adrian will indirectly lead me to something I don't wanna do. I value our marriage, no matter how messed up it is. I value Christian. Shoving my phone under the pillow, I get inside Christian's arms and close my eyes tightly. He moves a bit and tightens his grip around me protectively. As I strive to inhale his odour which can make me fall asleep in no time, I feel the phone vibrating under the pillow. Damn!I'll have to switch it off before Christian wakes up. He has been toiling all day and he deserves a good sleep. I squirm in his arms carefully and take the phone out. Aiming to switch it off, I find a message from Adrian. What does he want? He couldn't help telling me everything a

Ivanna As I told Adrian, I reached the firm after my classes ended. Everyone kept asking me why I left suddenly yesterday to which I had no answer. Adrian didn't show up the entire day which was a kind of relief.  I'm assured that he's not going to trouble me but the awkwardness will surely gonna kill me off. I wonder how things can change overnight.  Just a day before I knew about him, I was still adamant in my place with a bunch of things to tell that person. But when the moment came, I ran away from him.  Sometimes I feel, it wasn't overnight. The change happened to me gradually but I kept giving myself false explanations that I'm still into him. At this moment, or even in the future, I'll never te

Christian I smile at the luggage, perfectly packed with everything I may need. She hasn't missed a single thing and I don't think I'm gonna need something. She has sworn to make me conscious about spending money as she does.  I tilt my head and look back at her peacefully sleeping inside the blanket. She has been sleeping for an hour now though she told me she wasn't gonna sleep and stay awake until I leave. We talked for two long hours but the little tired soul had enough and fell asleep in my arms.  I'm gonna miss her so much, especially the way she sleeps comfortably in my arms every night. I reach her, kneeling on the bed and kiss her forehead.  "What's the time?" She mumbles, squirming inside, he

Christian Sophia takes slow steps towards me without even blinking her eyes for once. She reaches me. Her lips twitch to smile but she doesn't. Her shaking old hand lifts to my face. "Chase!" She whispers in disbelief. "You're Chase? You're alive?" A smile rips on her face. Sophia was the only family Aunty Jen had. That was what I knew about Sophia. Whenever she used to meet Aunty Jen, she used to bring me the same thing she used to bring for Ivanna. That was how affectionate she was. I had only a few memories with her, yet they were filled with affection and love.  "You have grown up so much", her eyes flicker with her voice shivering in joy. "Come, sit. Let me make you something good to eat. Come"
