Semua Bab The CEO's Forbidden Love: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Andrew’s mind was a furnace of confusion. He had heard enough. His mother’s words rang loud and clear in his ears, but it wasn’t comfort that followed them. Instead, panic, worry, doubt, and all of it had the face and voice of Rose, her words came echoing loud enough this time.He has not yet started driving himself around the city, but he didn’t want to use his mum’s driver either. He went outside the mansion, took a few strolls to the main road, and flagged down a taxi, “St. Thomas.” By the time he reached her apartment door, his breath was slightly uneven. He knocked, and she opened the door in one of her signature silk robes, wine-colored and short enough to reveal her fresh thighs and curvy hips.Rose tilted her head when she saw the seriousness in his eyes. "You look like someone just told you Santa Claus isn’t real. Come in, my love."He stepped inside, the faint scent of vanilla and lavender fragrance from the humidifier wrapping around him. Her place was cozy, filled with cre

Tim didn’t expect the question. It caught him so off guard that he simply stared at her for a moment before responding. The expression on Isabella’s face wasn’t curious or teasing; it was serious, and he had never seen her this serious."I honestly don’t know how to feel," he said finally, his voice lower than usual. "Maybe because both my parents are late... or maybe because I can’t imagine my dad ever dating someone younger than him. He loved my mum deeply. He looked at her like she was made of gold. The thought of him being with someone else, especially someone younger... it would’ve felt awkward, weird, even."Isabella didn’t respond immediately. She only nodded slowly, but Tim could tell her mind was going through a thousand things at once. She wasn’t just bringing this up for casual conversation. This was personal."Is your dad seeing someone younger?" he asked, now more focused.She nodded, and a small, bitter smile escaped her lips. "Yes, he is. He told me himself. And from the

Today should’ve been named “Colorful Day.” If the universe ever chose a title for a random Thursday, it would’ve gone with this one. Angelie had been painted with surprises from morning till now, each splash of color more confusing, more vivid than the last. Damien, with his hollow smile and his sudden tenderness. Tim and Julia, who had kept a secret love story right under her nose. And now Jeff. Jeff, with his soft eyes, awkward honesty, and the unexpected question.She looked at him, he still had the same expression like he had just asked a casual question. Angelie didn’t blink, she didn’t breathe differently. She just gave him the truth like she had rehearsed it all her life.“Yes, Jeff. I would have married you without blinking twice.”Her voice wasn’t shaky. It didn’t tremble or waver. It was solid, grounded, and real. And Jeff didn’t know he had so many butterflies stored in his stomach until that moment. The weight in his chest lifted like a balloon being released.He didn’t say

Angelie didn’t know when the laughter escaped her lips. It was loud, full, and unexpected. She held her stomach and shook her head as she tried to catch her breath.“Have you ever considered going into comedy?” she asked Flora, still laughing. “Because trust me, you would make so much money without lifting a finger.”But Flora didn’t laugh. She wasn’t even smiling. Her face was still, eyes calm, posture relaxed but serious.Angelie’s laughter slowly faded. She studied her friend’s expression. “Wait… you’re serious? Like, actually pregnant?”She nodded. “I said what I said.”Now it was Angelie’s turn to gulp down a full glass of water. She had been receiving surprise after surprise lately, and this one? This one had her head spinning again.“Does the father know?” she asked, leaning forward.Flora nodded. “Yes. And he’s over the moon. Happier than I expected, honestly.”Angelie raised her now-empty glass. “Then we have a wedding to plan!”Flora’s face twisted slightly. “Not so fast. He
