MR CEO AND I

CHAPTER ONE“I may not have made myself clear, Elodie but I will now. I will never love you, no matter what and you seem to be forgetting that our marriage is just for the papers only.” Henry spat.She was being too nice and he hated it, more so he hated the fact that he had to wake up to her face every day for the rest of his miserable life.“I did not mean to upset you, I only thought you might be hungry seeing as you did not have anything to eat last night” Elodie muttered.“I did not ask you for anything” Henry spat again.“What is wrong with you?” Elodie snapped, her eyes flashing. “What have I ever done for you to treat me this way?”“What have you done?” Henry scoffed, rising to his feet.Elodie took a step back as he crowded her.“You stole my entire life, Elodie… that is what you did. Now get the fuck out before I do something crazy” He glared at her.Elodie gasped, turning away from him with the plate of Bacon and eggs she had in her hands. It had been a big mistake to think

THE EX RETURNS!

CHAPTER TWO“What is the meaning of this?” Elodie screamed, her voice breaking.Henry released the woman, turning to her in shock. He had no idea she had been standing there and honestly he would have preferred she did not see this but it was what it was.“Elodie” He began, clearing his throat.“What is going on?” She asked, her eyes moving to Sophia who smirked at her, her eyes glittering in malice.He stepped in front of her as Elodie approached.“This is Sophia… and we used to know each other” Henry muttered.Elodie scoffed at this which infuriated Henry more than he cared to admit. She might be his wife but she did not mean anything to him whereas Sophia, she was his love.“Get out” Elodie snapped at Sophia.“She is going nowhere, do not embarrass yourself further” Henry countered.“No, I should leave” Sophia stopped him. “It was a mistake coming here and I am sorry for the intrusion, Elodie” She muttered.“No” Henry tried to stop her.Sophia smiled, turning away and out of the ho

DEVIOUS PLAN UNFOLDS

CHAPTER THREE“What are you talking about? My mother would never do that” Henry stopped her.“Do you really believe that she would not?” Sophia scoffed.She was right, Henry thought. This was exactly something his mother could do and he had no idea why he was defending her.“How did that happen?” He asked.His mother had always expressed her dislike for Sophia but he never knew that she had a hand in her disappearance. He always thought she had collected her money and left just as his mother had said.“The night you invited me over for dinner and announced that you wanted us to get married. Your mother asked to see me the next day and when I arrived at the salon, she made sure to warn me to steer clear of you.” Sophia sniffled again before she continued.“She said she had her plans for your marriage and there was no way she was going to allow me ruin it and then she tried to bribe me with money but I refused. She then… she threatened to have me killed!”“You should have come to me abo

LIES AND TRUTHS

CHAPTER FOURI wonder where he is, Elodie thought for the umpteenth time that night.She was worried.Henry had left the house, it was past midnight and he was not back yet. She had tried calling him but did not get any response which only made her worry more.Why the hell am I worried about him? She asked herself.He had made it very clear to her that he wanted nothing to do with her and he did not love her so why was she pacing the living room and staring up at the wall clock like some fish wife whose husband had gone missing?Blame it on her stupid heart for always fluttering anytime he was here and anytime he smiled or spoke.She was hopeless.Elodie sighed, collapsing on the sofa.“What are you doing?” Her mother in law asked.She jolted from her thoughts, her eyes widening. She had not heard the woman approach.“I… I am worried about Henry” She murmured. “He is not back yet”“Henry is not a child and he can stay out if he wants to” Abigail scoffed.“Yes but he is not picking up

AN UGLY NEWS REVEALS ITSELF

CHAPTER FIVEONE MONTH LATERA whole month, Sophia raved.One month since their night and she had heard nothing from Henry… not even the peep of one text message from him.She had thought with everything she revealed and everything that transpired between them that he would want her more than ever.It was almost as if he wanted nothing to do with her, almost as if he did not care about her and that would simply not do. She needed him and everything he had to offer and if he did not want the easy way then she was going to have to do it the hard way.She picked up her phone and dialed his number, her fingers crossed and her teeth grating against each other.“Henry” She whined.“Sophia” Henry responded.“I don’t know if this is the right time to call you but I have been waiting for your call and… I was worried” Her voice dropped.“I am sorry, I have been swamped with work and I have been meaning to text you these past couple of days” He responded.Text me, my ass! Sophia fumed. Past coup
