All Chapters of The Cold CEO's Woman: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

In the kitchen, Felicia was busy dishing out the delicious Oha soup she had prepared. She was serving it on smaller soup plates when she heard the kitchen door click open. Felicia turned to see who it was, and seeing Martin, she quickly looked away, wondering what he wanted in the kitchen. Martin stared at her back and down to her slim, curvy waist. He liked her, and even though he had a girlfriend, he wasn't in love with her as much as he loved Felicia. He knew he was supposed to see Felicia as his sister, but they weren't related by blood, and he didn't even know how to approach Felicia and tell her about his true feelings. Whenever he wanted to discuss his feelings with her, he felt stuck, unable to get the words out. He had watched her grow and had always admired her, knowing his mother liked her too. So he stood by the kitchen door, scratching his head confusedly as he thought about Felicia. He wanted her badly, but she was still considered his sister, and he hated to admit they

Temisa sighed after Martin left her, realizing he wouldn't support her as she had thought. "Ugh!" Temisa gritted her teeth in anger and stomped her foot while sitting on the couch. She screamed, "He cares for Felicia more than me, his own sister. They all care for Felicia." Temisa stared back at the television displaying her favorite Bollywood movie, grimaced, and finally picked up the remote from the center table to switch it off.She walked back upstairs to her room to chat with her bestie, as she missed Anita so much and wished Anita could come live with her. Anita, too, didn't like her family, just like her.Temisa missed her school life because she wouldn't have to see Felicia or her mother showing the "silly white witch" love. She growled, "Argrrh!" gritting her teeth in anger and scattering her hair. She then stepped into her room and slammed the door hard.Martin was in his room when he heard Temisa grunting and screaming. He shook his head, knowing Temisa was still refusing to

Anita stretched and yawned tiredly as she sat on the sofa, feeling sleepy and unable to check the trending news again. She closed her laptop after switching it off and stood up from the sofa to sleep on the bed she shared with Glory, feeling exhausted.Their mother sold provisions and cosmetics in her shop, Anita hardly visited there since she was usually at school or home cooking. She knew her mom's provision store wasn't big enough and wouldn't be able to cater to all their needs if her father eventually went cashless, especially since the bank her father worked for threatened to freeze his account if the fraudulent activity wasn't resolved.Anita sighed and climbed into bed to join Glory in sleeping. She prayed silently in her heart to find a better job to be able to cater to all her siblings, her parents, and herself before she finally drifted to sleep.***The following morning, Anita woke up late, having slept late the previous night. She slid out of bed and walked into the bathr

"You never told me you have an adopted sister?" Anita asked as Temisa drove the car out of their street and onto the main road."I don't like discussing her; that's why," Temisa replied, keeping her gaze focused on the road."Hmph, is that well?" Anita sighed."No, it can never be well with her. I don't like her, and that's the main truth," Temisa replied as she navigated towards a shopping plaza. "Why, if I may ask? I know you don't want to discuss it, but you must have a main reason for hating her," Anita asked, but Temisa pulled to a stop, matching the car's brake and ignoring Anita's question as she unlocked her seat belt and removed her car key."We're here; let's check with this boutique shop first to see if they have any oversized outfits or suits that will be comfortable for me," Temisa said."But that doesn't answer my question," Anita replied as she unhooked her seat belt and stepped down. Just as Temisa had already stepped out, automatically locking the car doors and heading

"Stop it, Anita. What nonsense about a mother-in-law are you talking about? I don't think I am even going to accept the marriage proposal anymore. Imagine that I am trying to fit into the company's requirements; now I will have to fit into his mother's requirements too. What for?" Temisa questioned, and Anita swallowed."I don't know. Maybe that's how their family wants it," Anita responded calmly, seeing that Temisa was already upset and flaring up."I don't care what their family wants. I cannot go into depression because of marriage. When I see him and he asks me out, I will plainly tell him I am not interested, and that settles all this rubbish," Temisa fumed."Is that okay, girlfriend? You don't need to be angry about him. Besides, you're not even sure if he's the one who wants the marriage or if it's his parents. My mom says he's probably a jealous person and doesn't like women looking overly attractive to prevent admirers.""Hmph, I'm just waiting for Monday to arrive. He's not
