บททั้งหมดของ The CEO and his paid mistress.: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

Bella began her procession as the soft melody of a love song filled the air, her beauty casting a spell on everyone present.Arthur looked at her awestruck and mesmerized, maybe she was the most beautiful woman he had seen all his life after all.The awed guests stood up on their feet to acknowledge her presence, tossing flowers her way to walk on.Bella had a royal feeling. If only the engagement ceremony wasn't a facade, she would have sworn right there that this was way more than what she had thought her engagement would be.She took her time basking in the moment never wanting this moment to fade but sooner she was standing right in front of Arthur who was ravishing handsome as well. She noticed his teary eyes."Don't tell me my beauty moved you to tears?" Bella teased him in a whisper, giving him a smile."You're so beautiful." Arthur said, his voice coarse. "And you're astonishing handsome." Arthur took her by the hand moving her closer to himself, the audience cheered them by

Arthur remained in the same position in the hall despite Lawrence pleas to return to his room, he refused.Lawrence had taken his leave only after Arthur had promised him he would be fine.The almost empty hall has only two people in it; Arthur and Matilda. She walked up to him and sat beside him, "it was hard telling her the truth, right?""At first, it was but the moment I began, it became easier." Arthur admitted, looking absent minded."You look like your mind is wandering here and there, what are you thinking about?""How I got to this point. You left, mama did left as well and now Bella." Arthur chuckled, "it makes me feel every woman close to my heart is meant to leave.""But I made it back.""And I couldn't recognize you." There was a tint of sadness in Arthur's voice."You don't have to blame yourself for that when I'm the one who altered my facial look.""How was it growing up? I can tell it was rough but tell me about it."Matilda looked deep into Arthur's eyes, "I think I

Arthur watched Amelia leave before coming out of his hiding place. Every nerve on his body was surging with rage. "Patricia!" He yelled. "How dare you mess up with me?"He couldn't believe his ears, Patricia had been working hand in hand with Amelia and Fargo to bring him down for whatever reason was best known to her.Now that he had know the mastermind behind the troubles he had had to go lately, his mind quickly flashed back to the list of the five names he couldn't confirm their identity."A.C," he muttered to himself repeatedly. "Amelia Coleman," he said slowly. "It all makes sense now that Patricia and Amelia are acquaintance, Fargo must have tagged along." He said to himself as the puzzle became easier. "The phone."He rushed towards the wardrobe and slide his hand in, taking out the burner phone. Without wasting time, he copied all the content of the phone to his and tapped the phone."You're done for, Amelia." He grunted. "I'm going to make each and everyone of you pay for ev

Hugo walked towards the direction of the sound he had heard.Matteo looked around and concluded there was no place for him to hide. Any step from where he was would make him visible to Hugo.He didn't know much about the port and that would put him at a disadvantage running here and there.Hugo was already in a bad mood and getting caught would be bad for him especially when he knew nothing about the burnt goods but that doesn't matter as he would make the finest scapegoat.He knew he couldn't match Hugo in terms of strength but luckily, Hugo was all by himself. Though his chauffeur was a bit far away from him, he was certain he could outrun Hugo.That was only one way out for him, he would have to put his sprinting talent into use.He held his phone tightly ready for the chase, putting his plan in action, he was going to lure Hugo, he took a quick glance of the terrain of the port and raced like his whole life depended on it."Stop right there!" Hugo shouted as he saw the figure runni

"Here is the document you asked for sir." Lawrence secretary announced but could tell her boss was far away. "Excuse me, boss." She gently knocked the table in front of her to gain his attention."Oh, Kate." Lawrence jolted out of his thoughts, "how may I help you?""Here are the document you told me to bring to you." Kate repeated."Thank you, I'll go through them later." Lawrence replied as she took her exit. While at work, Arthur's words had weighed heavily on Lawrence's heart and troubled him greatly.Through the series of meetings he had head that day, he could barely comprehend what was being said since his mind was fully absent."Could she be using another phone?" He thought to himself repeatedly. "If she does have another phone, where could she be hiding it?" Lawrence asked as his mind weighed heavily on the questions that keep popping in his head.He kept swirling on his chair and the headache he was feeling was making matters worst.He didn't realize how much time he had inv
