All Chapters of Covering Up For The CEO: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Albert POV I nodded."If Diana thinks she got away with this, she will try again. And when she does, we'll be ready."Brielle hesitated, then nodded slowly. "Okay."But before we could talk more, a loud sound interrupted us.A crash.Someone had knocked over a tray of drinks, and in the middle of the chaos, Diana was suddenly standing beside us, smiling sweetly."Is everything okay?" she asked, her voice dripping with fake concern. "I hope Jason didn't ruin your mood, Brielle."Brielle stiffened beside me, and I forced myself to stay calm.Diana was playing her game, but she had no idea that I was already two steps ahead of her.I took a deep breath, forcing myself to push Diana’s schemes aside for now. Tonight was about Brielle. I wasn’t going to let anyone ruin her birthday, especially not someone like Diana.Turning to Brielle, I reached into my pocket and pulled out a small, elegant envelope.“Before I forget,” I said, my voice steady, “I have a gift for you. A surprise.”Brielle

Brielle POV I nodded, resting my forehead against his. "More than happy. You didn’t have to do all this for me, Albert."He cupped my face, tilting it up so our eyes met. "I’d do anything for you, Brielle. Anything."His words made my heart flutter. I wrapped my arms around his neck, my fingers tangling in his hair. "I don’t need anything else as long as I have you."A slow smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. "That’s good to hear."Before I could respond, his lips captured mine in a kiss that sent shivers down my spine. It started soft, gentle, but soon, it deepened, becoming more desperate, more intense. I clung to him, my fingers tightening around his shirt as his arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me even closer.He flipped us over, pinning me beneath him on the bed. His eyes were dark, filled with an emotion that made my breath hitch. He traced his fingers along my jawline, then down my neck, his touch sending waves of heat through me."Albert..." I whispered, my voice bar

DIANA POV This wasn’t part of the plan.I needed Albert to doubt Brielle, to question her, not protect her.I took a deep breath, forcing myself to stay calm. This was just a minor setback. There was still time to turn things around.If Albert wanted to defend Brielle, I would make sure he regretted it.I picked up my phone and quickly dialed a number."Hello?" a familiar voice answered."It’s me," I said, lowering my voice. "We have a problem. Albert is planning to defend Brielle at a press conference."There was silence on the other end before the voice responded, "That’s not good. If he convinces the public, it’ll be harder to break them apart."I tightened my grip on my phone. "That’s why we need to do something fast. A wicked smile crept onto my lips as an idea formed in my mind.I paced back and forth in my room, my mind racing with thoughts. The news had already shaken Brielle’s reputation, but it wasn’t enough. If Albert managed to turn things around at the press conference,

Diana’s POVThis couldn’t be happening.Brielle was supposed to stay here. She was supposed to be alone and vulnerable. But now, Albert was taking her away—out of my reach.I felt sick.I forced myself to smile through dinner, but inside, my mind was spinning. I had worked too hard for this. There was no way I was going to let Brielle win.After dinner, I excused myself and rushed to my room. I slammed the door shut and grabbed my phone, immediately dialing a number."Nicholas, we have a problem."His voice was calm on the other end. "What is it?""Albert is taking Brielle with him on the trip. That was not part of the plan!" I hissed.There was silence for a moment before Nicholas chuckled. "Relax, Diana. This doesn’t change anything. If anything, it makes things easier.""Easier? How?""Because now, we know exactly where they will be. And that means we can control the situation."I frowned. "What are you saying?""Leave that to me. Just make sure Albert doesn’t suspect anything befo

Brielle’s POVAs Albert and I stepped outside, the cool breeze hit my face, but it did nothing to calm the storm inside me. My father’s words kept echoing in my head."Rebecca tried to kill me."I was still trying to process everything when Albert suddenly sighed beside me."Brielle, I'm sorry… I really forgot to stay back outside like you asked," he admitted, rubbing the back of his neck. "I was just so worried about you and your dad. I couldn’t leave you alone there."I looked at him, searching his face for any sign of doubt. Did he believe my father? Or was he still struggling to accept that his own mother could do something so terrible?"It’s nothing, Albert," I murmured, shaking my head. "I just… I don’t understand what’s happening. Why is your mother doing all this? Why is she getting more involved with my father?"Albert sighed again and ran a hand through his hair. "I don’t know. But I promise you, I’ll find out."His words should have been reassuring, but I couldn’t shake the
