All Chapters of Seducing My Husband's Arch-enemy!: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“Wow!” I exclaim softly as I look around me in awe, “this place is so damn lovely, let me guess, your Mum designed it? It’s so young person coded, so cute too.”Reid nods proudly like a true son, “She made it, she was expecting.”That, makes my expression fall. “She was pregnant when the accident happened?”Reid nods, a little slower this time. “This room was supposed to be my little sibling’s room when he or she was born. Turned out my parents had been trying to have another child since I was born but she just never conceived, then suddenly and out of nowhere, she told me that she was three months pregnant even at her close to menopause age,” He chuckles softly in remembrance, looking at one of the toys hanging over the small crib, “I was overjoyed to be getting a sibling, even though we’d be having over twenty five years gap between us, if anything would have been the cause of her death at the time, it should probably have leaned more to the child’s side but the accident happened,

*REID*I sigh in content as her car drives outside the gates, it’s time for my own day to actually begin. Going back inside, I spy the documents from the night before on the edge of a couch and I walk over to it. Picking it up, I take a seat and peruse through the documents the thousandth time since I was awarded the contract…Awarded the contract by the former CEO of FG Global Corporation, Mr. Jacob Graham, her own father and unlike the seed that had been planted in her mind about it being a clause in the contract for me to date her, it was an unwritten one.I have known of Raees Graham even before her rebellious phase to marry that black haired junk cousin of mine. If only I could tell her everything right from the start and start over on a clean slate, but there is too much, way too much at stake to let her know, and being the only one of us both who knows the actual truth is more burdening than I could have possibly envisaged.Sighing again, I rise up from the chair to go get prep

*CECELIA*I have been expecting this damned call for hours now, then exactly when I am at the end of my rope, it finally comes in.“Yes Jared?” I start, obviously irritated for him not keeping to time.“I got it, there’s quite a lot of Grahams in the USA, and narrowed down to New York did not exactly make my work easier.”“So…? I am not interested in all these after stories.”“So grumpy already, that’s why I like you, you know? You’re not dumb.”I roll my eyes, choosing to not respond to that particular bit of information. “Have you drafted out the invitation and everything, website, so it’ll feel very real to them?”“Sure, I even added emails and contact info for them to reach out to if they ever need help, I have created the form and before that, it’ll be a spin the wheel interface to draw them in, those are usually pleasing to do even with the doubt of it being a scam at the back of their minds, but as soon as they spin, they will certainly fall on the expenses paid button ant it w

*RAEES*I had maintained contact with Reid though I haven’t seen him since my kidnapping day. He told me he’s currently out of town on a business and might be until the weekend till he’s back. As soon as work is over, he’s usually the first to call me and we end chatting, teasing and laughing until I get home.I know it’s just a way of securing my safety while keeping up with my energy but I don’t comment on it, and for my parents, two days could not come fast enough.Their flight’s by two pm so I leave work by twelve, chatting with Reid as Benjamin drives me home. I told him about the random free tickets to Fiji Island and he was just as unsure about it as I was but ended up meeting me in the middle that nothing could possibly go wrong as long as they are real tickets, we had them confirmed surely after the duo’s burst of happiness.At twelve something, I arrive at home to see them packing their things into the trunk of the car already, Mum’s case is especially large, while Dad’s is

*REID*When she fell asleep on the call, exhausted, I knew it, and I chuckled.I check the time on the wall and chuckle, she really did stay up a long time. But something else bothers me.She’s alone in that big place.All the other staffs, as I learnt when I was over, stayed in another building within the large compound but still, a yell might not be enough to call them over in an emergency, and though there is security working in shifts by the gate and entrances to the compound, they are still quite far away, so simply enough, she’s the only one at home, and sleeping.For that reason, I decide to not hang up, it’s morning over here and the day has begun so I just leave my earbuds in while I get some morning work done while muting myself so none of my conversations here will wake her up.When the first suspicious sound reached me two hours later, my ears snap up, turning up the volume to hear better, maybe I am just being paranoid.There is no other alarming sounds for the next two m
