All Chapters of Covering Up For The CEO: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Brielle's POVHe didn't answer at first. His jaw was set, and his thumb lay on the screen as if he couldn't wait to crush the phone in his hand.I leaned over him, peering over his shoulder. My stomach dropped when I read the message."I'm still waiting for your reply. Tomorrow at the first light of day, I'll proceed and put the video up. And then I figure that after the entire city has seen it, you won't have any choice but to leave your beautiful Brielle and marry Diana."My breath was snatched away in my throat. The words were like a blade slicing across my heart. My mind was racing, trying to keep up on what this would mean.Albert gritted his teeth, rubbing his hand through his hair. "Damn it!" he muttered.I gulped. "Albert… what video?" My voice was barely above a whisper.He hesitated. His dark, irritated eyes, and something else; guilt?, at last met mine. "Nicholas has a video… of that night with Diana," he admitted, his tone rough.I thought the ground had been taken from un

Diana's POVI walked into the dimly lit bar, my heels clicking on the ground as I approached the man in the corner booth. Jason.Brielle's ex-boyfriend.He lifted his head, his dark eyes scanning me with interest. "Who are you?" he asked, his voice laced with interest.I slid into the seat across from him, crossing my legs with confidence. "Maybe someone you'd like to know better," I said to him, smiling mysteriously.Jason's eyebrow went up, clearly intrigued. "Is that so? What do you want from me?"I leaned forward, watching his face carefully. "Do you know where Brielle's been since she dumped you?"Jason's jaw clenched, and a bitter look crossed his face. "I searched everywhere for her," he snarled. "She was going to marry me. Her father's a crook, and I figured no other man would have her. I figured I'd be doing her a favor, take her as my wife while I had my fun with other women."I raised an eyebrow. "You really thought she was yours?"Jason scoffed. "She's mine. She just ran o

Albert POV "Enough," I cut in harshly, my tone hard.Diana pouted but did not insist, focusing instead on her meal. Brielle barely touched food after Diana's cruel words. I could feel the rigidity in her shoulders, the effort to hold back her emotions.Then, with little prelude, she laid down the fork and rose from her seat. "I'm going upstairs to shower," she murmured.Diana burst out laughing. "You need it. Just shower well.".I clattered my fork against the counter, my rage boiling over. But I was too quick; before I could say a single thing, Brielle just turned around and left without even looking back.I lost my appetite. Without a word, I got up and followed her, ignoring Diana's superior grin.I caught up with Brielle when she reached our bedroom. She didn't say a thing, just pushed the door open and went in.I followed her in, closing the door. She reached into the closet for a towel, her movements stiff and robotic."Brielle," I said quietly.She didn't answer. "I just need

Diana’s POVI walked into the house, my mood lifted with excitement. Everything was falling into place. Jason knew what to do, and tomorrow, Brielle’s life would be ruined beyond repair.As I stepped inside, I spotted Brielle sitting in the living room, waiting for the maid to bring her a glass of juice. She looked tired, completely unaware of what was coming her way.Perfect.The moment the maid handed Brielle the juice, I smirked and walked closer, my voice dripping with fake sweetness. “Oh, my dear Brielle,” I said, tilting my head. “I see that your birthday preparations are going well. But… you haven’t gone shopping yet, have you? Time is running out, sweetheart. Just one more day left.”Brielle glanced at me but said nothing.I chuckled, taking a step back. “Well, enjoy your juice. You need it.” My laughter echoed through the room as I turned and headed upstairs to my room.Tomorrow was going to be unforgettable.Brielle's POVThe warm water ran down my body as I stood under the

Diana’s POVI grabbed my purse and rushed out of the house, my heels clicking against the marble floor as I made my way outside. I couldn’t let Jason mess this up. He was unreliable, always distracted by women and alcohol. If I didn’t handle things myself, he might just walk into that party and ruin everything.As I reached my car, my phone rang. Jason. I answered immediately."I'm almost at the estate," he said, his voice slightly slurred, but still sharp enough to know he wasn’t completely drunk. "Bring the necklace before I walk in. I want everything in place before I make my move."I smirked. "Good. Stay exactly where you are. I’ll be there in five minutes. Don’t you dare go inside without me."I ended the call and started the engine. Tonight, Brielle’s perfect little world would come crashing down. I drove fast, my fingers gripping the steering wheel tightly. My heart pounded with excitement. Tonight, Brielle’s world would crumble, and I would finally have my way. Albert wouldn’
