Semua Bab Being Mr CEO's Bride: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Kaelia's POV First of all, let me take a moment to thank Lilyanna for not screaming my real name from across the room, which was her normal.When I turned, she was standing at the end of the hallway in a gold corset and black shorts that could pass for panties at this point.But I could not deny the fact that she looked like a total smokeshow.Her mask made it hard to recognise her, and if it was not for her voice, I would probably just pass by her unintentionally.She sauntered towards us with a champagne flute in hand.“Don't you look stunning?” She exclaimed. When she got to me, she placed her hand on my arms and kissed my cheeks, “Oh, I'm so glad you could make it.”Her sharp eyes darted to Freddy, nodding as she took in the sight of him. Then, she let out a low whistle.“And you brought your husband.” She purred, “Oh, honey, you were right. He's delicious.”“I never said that,” I giggled. “Oh, you didn't?” She stepped closer to him and extended a hand. “Freddy Montgomery, right

Demi's PovThree days later.“I have told you countless times, Andrew,” I said calmly as my eyes scanned my shoe stand, looking for the perfect pair that would make a statement. “I am not interested anymore.”“Demi, my girl…”“Your girl?” I laughed coldly. Boy, shut up, please. Stop calling me from different numbers. It's creepy, and I'm only a few steps away from involving the authorities.” My eyes settled on my Louboutin pairs. My most trusted.“Now, there's no need to be that serious, baby. Did you get the gifts I sent?”“Yeah. They're in the trash where they belong. It's crazy how you think that would actually make me reciprocate feelings.” I said as I slipped on the red bottom stilettos.As he tried to speak again, I groaned loudly, cutting him off, “Not this morning. I do not have the time.”Then I ended the call with him.I turned to my personal assistant, Zara, who had been standing and watching me get ready.“What do you think?” I asked, spinning slightly in the mirror to se

Demi's POV The elevator doors slid open, and I stepped into the lobby of the Montgomery Grand, my heels clicking as I made my way to the exit. Just as I was about to open a door, a girl almost bumped into me.I turned to give her a death stare, and for some reason, she looked familiar. Where did I know her from?She opened her mouth to apologise but seemed to think better of it. Then she turned and walked away.“Rude bitch,” I cursed.It had been a long day, and my patience was short. The meetings were endless, but Freddy never returned.A smile tugged at my lips as I remembered the way his expression had changed when I entered the conference room.Well, I had a time.It felt good to see them hanging on to my words, treating me like a golden girl.Not knowing I had a bigger plan.The driver opened the door to my sleek black Bentley as I approached, and I slid in, settling on the smooth leather seats. Zara got in beside the driver.“Home, Miss Demi?” He asked.“Yes,” I murmured, wav

Kaelia's POV All the external noise seemed to fade when I heard those words.My hands tightened around the paper plates, my eyes on Landon, scared that if I looked away, he would spill secrets.I looked around to make sure no one was watching us or eavesdropping. Landon, emboldened by his nonsense, stood far too close, and his smirk had not faltered.“I can see it in your face. You're trying to decide if I'm bluffing or not, aren't you?”My mouth felt dry. I wanted to deny, but for what use?Even if he was not sure of what he was saying, my reaction to it had confirmed his suspicions.“Landon –” I wanted to push him and bolt away, but I thought better of it. “I don't know what game you are playing at –”He cut in sharply, “This is not a game, Kaelia. And if I were you, I would stop pretending that you do not understand how serious this is.”Gone was the flirty tone he usually used on me. Now he meant business.And for the first time, I missed that tone.Behind us, I could hear Asher

Demi's POV As I got ready to meet William Montgomery, my thoughts were anything but calm, Zara stepped into my room, scrolling on her iPad. I was thrilled to have hired Zara. On the day of her interview, she had been so jittery and stammered so much that I almost gave up, but since I hired her, she had been nothing short of efficient.“Well?” I asked, draping a silk scarf over my shoulder. I was not happy about meeting William – I mean, I had skipped a night out with my girls just to meet him – but it was necessary.Things needed to be done, and the man was moving slowly.Ugh. Old people.“Are you just going to stand there and hawk, or do you have something for me?”Despite the fact that I appreciated Zara's work, I was not going to go easy on her. Being easy on people made them lazy.She flipped through pages of updates, “Montgomery Grand’s restructuring plans are moving faster than anticipated.” She said cautiously, as if she was trying not to set off a ticking time bomb. “Freddy
