All Chapters of Divorce Denied! The CEO Wants Me Now: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

A few months ago, Giovanni Dawson was in the middle of a midday conference meeting with some partners when someone barged in. Despite established protocols, there were close relations exempt from them."Hector, what are you doing here?" The executives at the conference appeared upset, but Giovanni remained calm. Hector wouldn't have interrupted if it wasn't urgent."Please, Uncle Gio, I need your help." The desperation in Hector's voice prompted Giovanni to pause the meeting and address him."Gentlemen, I apologize, but we need to reschedule. This is a family emergency."At the mention of 'family,' the executives swiftly gathered their files and left the conference room. Everyone in the Dawson Group knew that family was their top priority.Hector sat across from Giovanni. "Uncle Van, I need you to protect someone important to me. It would mean a lot."Giovanni frowned. Hank was usually the one to handle protection requests, so Hector's plea was unexpected. "You should ask your father

Tonia couldn’t believe those men had failed. After paying the huge deposit, she couldn’t trace them to add the remaining balance, and their phone number had been unreachable.Somebody had saved Karen, so what had happened to those men? Tonia gulped down a glass of wine, her mind in a haze.“Kat, it’s Karen, but I feel like I don’t even know her,” Gordon said with a blend of pride and anxiety.His daughter was married to Roger Dawson, meaning a new contract was going to be signed, but Katherine was smarter than her husband.“Looks like they have been separated for a while. I can’t hear what they are saying, but things are not looking smooth.” This was the way she always wanted Karen to dress, which she refused. Now look at her, dazzling like a star. Not even her adopted daughter Tonia could compare with her real daughter, Karen.“It doesn’t matter. We need to talk to her. Let’s come up with a plan and tell her that everything we did was for her good. All we ever wanted was to bring out

Tonia was not used to being as neglected as she was today, needing to steal the spotlight from Karen like always, but she had run too far ahead that she didn’t know when the game had changed behind her.Karen did not deny it, as honesty had always been her hallmark. “I don’t play the victim, Tonia. I’m not like you. You deserve what you got, and it’s nothing compared to what you did to me,” she retorted, and Roger’s brows raised.She had indeed done it, making him proud of her, but he wondered what other form of mischief she had up her sleeves.His little kitten wasn’t so naïve anymore, and he couldn’t wait to explore more of her. Surprinted will leave.Tonia was glad Karen was showing her true colors. Unlike her, Karen did not seem smart enough to hide her evil side, but the response she got was heartbreaking. “I would have fined you if you were the one on the floor.” Giovanni was serious. Karen’s training was not complete, but the likes of Tonia shouldn’t be a match for her. Karen

Karen thought about the turn of events, which made sense to her. She had met and fallen in love with Roger without knowing any members of his family, and since he wouldn't let her go, perhaps his family could help.“Alright. If you want me back, Roger, then there are four conditions.”For as long as she mentioned getting back together, Roger wanted it legalized because nothing was going to take her away from him again.“I can get a lawyer to draft an agreement if you want,” Roger said seriously. Karen shook her head. “You don’t know what they are, and lawyers don’t work during weekends.”Roger picked up his phone and made a call. “Marcus, get to the Dawsons mansion in thirty minutes or find yourself another client.”Karen panicked. Why was Roger behaving so strangely? His authority seemed to be more than Giovanni's, whereas the latter was his father. Why was a rich boy living off his father acting like he owned the world?“You ar

Karen had always thought of Roger as distant, not caring about what she liked when he kept buying her cheap roses in the past.Now, she realized that wasn’t the case. Roger had known her preferences all along and just hadn’t fulfilled them. The orchid garden in front of her felt like a dream.“This isn’t real.” Her cold heart warmed up, similar to the rays of the sun.“It is. Do you like it?” Roger asked eagerly, hoping he hadn’t gone overboard. Karen was too stunned to speak. Squatting, she began to admire the ones closest to her. They were still blooming. “How did you know?”The way she admired the blooming orchids like little babies was heartwarming, and Roger felt that all his efforts had paid off.Karen wasn’t too hard to please. She loved the simple things in life, and he made it his mission to make them memorable for her.Crouching down beside her, Roger’s voice was soft. “I make it my responsibility to know what my wife likes, and Karen, all I want is a chance to prove to you I
