All Chapters of Being Mr CEO's Bride: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Kaelia's POV “Freddy, darling, long time no see.”A voice slithered over my shoulder. I turned to see the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my entire life. She was a literal vision in a shimmery silver gown. Her dark hair was swept up, and diamonds glittered on her neck. As she came closer, I managed to muster the brightest smile I could, but she passed by me like I was some fly and wrapped her arms around Freddy, pulling him into a hug that lingered a little too long.Did she not know that he was married?Freddy stiffened under her touch, but he did not push her away.His face remained rigid, with no trace of a smile as she reached up and grazed his jaw with her manicured fingers.“Did you miss me, darling?” She said in a low and intimate voice.Uh, no. Get your hands off my man, woman.I watched as her fingers lingered on his jaw. I could snap them any minute, but that would be so unbecoming of Mrs. Montgomery.My stomach twisted as she kissed his cheek. Something hot and p

Kaelia's POVThe next day, Freddy was caught up in a lot of work and couldn't pick me up, so he sent the driver alone.When we arrived at the mansion, I changed into a simple outfit and, after giving Sundae a silly excuse about where I was going and why it was better for me to use a cab rather than one of Freddy's cars, which I could swear she wasn't buying, I left for the hospital. The smell of antiseptic hit me the moment I passed through the sliding doors. My feet ached as I made my way to the third floor where Mom's room was. The constant standing and moving around at the Montgomery Grand was taking its toll on me. I was exhausted, but I needed to see Mom. Anyway, I was doing all this for her.The nurse at the station looked up as I approached and smiled in recognition.“Hi, Kaelia. You look good today.” Nurse Jemithea had been my ‘ride or die’ since the first day my mom collapsed on the street and was rushed to the hospital.She had seen the despair in my eyes and had taken it

Freddy's PovHer words hit me like a slap.“Who do you think you are policing me like that?” She asked, her eyes blazing with a fire I had not seen before. I froze, not because I had not been challenged by a woman or anybody at all, but because this was her.I had tagged her as soft-spoken, “would never raise my voice” type, and here she was, chin up, daring me to say something back.For a second, I couldn't decide whether I should be pissed or impressed.From the corner of my eye, I caught Sundae watching us. I was not about to let this conversation play in front of the staff. “Sundae, give us a moment, please.”She looked as though she had been slapped, then she nodded and slipped out of the room, giving Lilyanna a look. The silence that followed was charged.Lilyanna stood, with arms crossed, her chest rising and falling in quick breaths.For some reason, she looked insanely attractive.She bit her lip, drawing my attention to them.“Lilyanna,” I rubbed her arm, at the same spot

Kaelia's POVFreddy's words hung in the air like a bombshell. I sat up straighter.“What do you mean we're sharing a room?” I asked, forcing myself to concentrate on something other than his chest. The panic of being this close, in the same room, to Freddy for a whole two days made me nervous.We hadn't even been in the same place for more than four hours, and now we were spending two days sharing a room?“Lily, this is a private yacht with only three cabins. One is this room, the other is my office, and the other is just not in use.”“I'll sleep in the other.”“You will do no such thing.”“You have an office everywhere.”“I work around the clock.”“You know, sharing a room is invading each other's privacy, which is breaking the contract rules?” I asked, looking up at him as he stepped closer to me. “Besides, you didn't mention anything about having to share a cabin on our way here.”“I didn't mention anything about the yacht because it's supposed to be a surprise.” He replied as he

KAELIA'S POVI awoke to a splitting headache.It felt like I had a fucking jackhammer to my skull. When my eyes fluttered open, I froze, my heart stopping when I realised I was completely naked under the covers.Oh no no no.A wave of panic crashed over me. How did I get to this point?As I clutched the bedsheet, my mind raced, trying to piece together the events of the night, to find an explanation.Fragments came back in - me laughing during the game, Freddy lifting me and taking me into the room, the heat of his lips on mine.Oh my God.I’d kissed him.I'd pulled him closer and kissed him.And…moaning?Had I moaned? I thought harder.I gasped as the memory came rushing back like a slap to the face.My cheeks burned with horror.What had I done? How would I live after this? I looked outside the little window, watching the water. It wouldn't be a bad idea just to jump in and end it all now.I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to push the memory away from my mind, but it held on, tight.
