บททั้งหมดของ The CEO'S Forbidden Secret: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

BRYAN'S POV After my encounter with Laura, I decided to make some important calls relating to Sin City. Even the thought of it made me feel sick in the stomach, but then, things were already out of my control at this point. I placed my phone on the glass table as memories of Mia flooded my mind."Mia, we have to confront him, and you know this!" I suggested as Mia walked into our room. This was already a few weeks before our wedding, and the rate at which we exchanged words was getting worse day by day.Mia dropped her bag on the bed and turned to me with folded hands."Are you going to call off the wedding simply because I refuse to confront him?" she asked, and I just stared at her speechlessly."You fail to understand how powerful he is, Bryan, he can ruin your life in a twinkle of an eye. Yet you want me to risk your life in the process?" She burst out angrily as she looked away."Mia, if we don't make a move towards our freedom, we will continue to be stuck in this game forever,

LAURA'S POVI did not get a word from Mr. Finch throughout the weekend, which was quite disappointing. But then, I was happy about it because the man always finds a way to disturb my weekend with his long line of work to keep me busy. After our encounter, he hasn't texted or called to give me a workload. I used to feel like the man was an enemy of my peace of mind. That night, after dinner, Kora left for her place because her boyfriend was around, and she didn't want him to sleep alone. The weekend was spent doing house chores, shopping for groceries, and watching new episodes of my favourite TV shows.I hissed in frustration. How I hate Monday mornings. Aside from the fact that I'm not a morning person, it provokes the living daylights out of me that I have to wake up to another hectic day at the office. After changing into something decent and classy, I made my way out of my apartment with my bag in hand. "Good morning, Miss Laura," my neighbour greeted me, and I smiled in his di

LAURA'S POVAfter another hectic day at work, I just wanted to avoid anything that had to do with Mr. Finch and focus on calming my nerves. I dropped my bag on the table and headed to the bathroom to freshen up and change into something more decent and comfortable for the night. As I pulled my hair into a messy bun, I heard my phone ringing. Sighing softly, I walked towards the bed, picked it up, and stared at the caller ID calmly. The incoming call was from my sister, Cindy. I've spent the biggest part of my life living like I don't even have a family. It's not like they're my real family anyway. I was adopted from an orphanage home, and after my foster dad died, his wife, my foster mom, took it upon herself to make life a living hell for me.I don't know who my real parents are, and I've been all by myself ever since. "Cindy," I said immediately I picked up the call, and I heard her sigh on the other end."Laura, how are you? Mom has been trying to reach you for weeks. It's beginn

LAURA'S POV'What does he want from me?' I wondered, and as I walked back to the sitting room and he was still there, I stared at him, and he smiled."What do you want from me? Just go straight to the point, SIR ..." I said, stressing the last part, when I saw the lust in his eyes.I hate it when men stare at me like this, but there was something about the way he stared at me that made me nervous. The annoying papers he sent me were still on the table, and that only made my mood sour."I want you," he acknowledged, and my eyes widened."What!" I yelled in shock.'What does he mean by that? Did he take me for some cheap whore or what?' I wondered as I glared daggers at him.After the stupid stunts he has been pulling and his little secret, that makes him more mysterious. What makes him think I will agree to his madness?"You can't want me, sir." I fumed in anger."Name your price," he said arrogantly, and my blood rushed with rage."How dare you, Mr. Finch?""You can't walk into my hou

BRYAN'S POV"Send me to jail then," she insisted. I'm not going to lie, I was shocked."Miss Laura, you need to calm down first. We can conclude that no one needs to go to jail," Trenton suggested, and she sighed."It's pretty obvious your friend wouldn't take a no for an answer, so I rather stay in prison." She declared firmly, not giving in and I chuckled."I'm sorry for his attitude Miss Laura. We can do something about the situation," Trenton tried to persuade her, but she was not ready to back down."Sex six times in a week is just absurd, and I agree with you, Miss Laura. I think we should reduce it," Trenton suggested."I'm not sleeping with him, that's it," she declared, not accepting otherwise, as if the thought of sleeping with me scared her away.Girls would do anything to be in my arms, I've been the one saying no, but here's this hazel-eyed beauty saying no to me, and meaning every single word."Fine, since you do not want to be intimate with me it's okay. I won't force y
