Lahat ng Kabanata ng Arranged Marriage With The CEO: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

—CHRISTIAN—On my way back to the penthouse, I ran my head to think of an idea to get this situation under control and my mind suggested to me only one name. I dialled the number and put it on the speaker. The call was answered at the first ring as if he was waiting for it. “ Are you back? What happened there? Should I come?” I was bombarded with all the questions at one. “ Alex! I'm alive and unfortunately they are too.” I said in a lazy tone. “ Ah!! What an inconvenience from both the sides.” He replied as the sarcasm dripped off his tone. “ Now, Can we talk about something sensible?” I said, rolling my eyes even though I knew he couldn't see me. “ No! Let's rant a little more.” His playfulness had me huffing. “ Alex!” I warned him. “ Christian!” He mimicked me. “ I want Catherine under our control before morning.” I said, ignoring his playfulness and getting on the point. A long silence prevailed on the other side of the call as I waited for the response. “ Are you out

—JENNIFER—**Flashback**“ You don't worry about that Mr. Collins. The interior designing will be my responsibility. I'll look after it personally.” Christian said to Mr. Collins who was sitting in front of him and beside him was sitting the creepy bitch who can't keep her goddamn eyes to herself which were wandering at my husband back to back as if he was some fresh meat. “ Yes. You don't know Mr. Collins, Christian is very good at it. All of his restaurants’ designs are his own.” Jessica spoke up, desperately invading the conversation. I rolled my eyes while Christian sighed, controlling his annoyances. “ That would be really great then. I like personal touches anyway.” Mr. Collins replied, nodding with a big smile. “ Yeah. We are just waiting for you to finalise the location from the list. Then we'll start working immediately.” Christian said further. “ I can't tell you how desperately I'm looking forward to the outcome, Mr.Brown” Mr. Collins said and Christian nodded with

—CHRISTIAN—As soon as I turned back to see Jennifer, she wasn't at her seat anymore. A sudden panic ran into my body as I looked around hurriedly, scanning the party hall to find her and stopped once my eyes spotted her. I took a step towards her but my feet froze when I realised that she wasn't alone. Jessica was with her and the way Jennifer had her hand grabbed was clearly telling that she wasn't there with her own will. I frowned and before I could contemplate anything, Jennifer started dragging her towards the stage with her faltering steps. She was too drunk to even walk properly but her grip on Jessica’s hand was more than sobar of her. The expressions she had on her face were scary enough to guess what was going to happen.“ Shit!” Cursing lowly, I raced towards her hurriedly as she reached the host and snatched the mic from his hand sending him into shock. “ Good evening…G-Gadies and Lentenman!!” All the heads turned towards them, shooting another wave of panic in me as

—CHRISTIAN—My phone buzzed and I muted the call without even checking because I was in an important meeting that I had told Jennifer about, in the morning. It buzzed again and Mr. Stevens gave me a look. I muted the call again and then decided to silent the phone before it would interrupt again. I saw that it was Alex and he doesn't call me back if I ever disconnect the call. I felt a sinking feeling that something is going wrong somewhere. “ It's Okay, Mr. Brown. If it's urgent you can take the call.” Mr. Stevens said, guessing my sudden uneasiness. “ No, it's fine.”The phone beeps with a message while it was already in my hand and I couldn't help but go through it. My heart thumped loudly in my chest as I read Alex's message and stood up abruptly, making all the heads turn towards me in confusion. “ I am afraid that I'll have to pause this meeting because of a personal affair. I'm really sorry Mr. Stevens.” Saying quick to those shocked faces of Mr. Stevens and his assistant,

—JENNIFER—I turned back to look at him but was surprised by his sudden move of bending close. I sucked a breath as he stared right into my eyes. “ I didn't go to meet her but to send her away from our lives forever.” He said and I felt a sudden relief rushing into my body. “ You did?” I asked, confirming. “ I had promised you.” He shrugged, moving back but I grabbed his collars and captured his lips into mine, taking him by surprise. “ I love you.” I murmured into his lips, smiling. He groaned before slipping his hand into my waist and lifting up to settle me on his lap. I gasped as he did in a span of two goddamn seconds that I couldn't even realise. My gasp died down as his mouth claimed down on mine with his hands slipping under my shirt, causing goosebumps to erupt. In these six months of marriage, we have kissed uncountable times but every time with him feels like the first time. His touch wakes up every single cell in my body as if giving them a new life. I moaned when
