All Chapters of Profitable Marriage With A Mentally Unstable CEO: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

With a frustrated grunt, Kendrick rises from his seat and begins to pace. Some part of him feels restless without Elodie present. It's 1 pm, and she's not back. He found it unnatural, especially now that she's unemployed. The thought of Elodie possibly being at the hospital with her father crosses his mind. But how should he reach out to her to confirm? He doesn't have a phone at the moment, and all home device is connected to Luke. How would he do it? His jaw clenches, his insides gnawing as frustration eats him away. Why!? He wonders with growing agitation. Why is her absence causing him impatience? A gentle knock on the door cuts through his myriad of possible explanations. His brows furrow at the door, a frown drawing on his face. Why would Elodie knock? He opens the door, greeted by a surprised look. “Brother Kendrick!?” Zoey exclaims, her voice wavering from a question to a statement of shock. She fixes her composure, noticing how angry he looked. “What do you want?” He a

My eyes flutter open. Slowly I begin to regain consciousness, a flurry of memories running through my head. I wince, shifting uncomfortably on the platform beneath me. A faint voice whispers “She's awake.”I blink rapidly, clearing the haze from my vision. The warm, golden glow of the setting sun washes over me, illuminating my unfamiliar surroundings. I glance down at my leg, my eyes trailing my body. What the? Where are my clothes?? I'm wearing a big white shirt that stretches only up to my thigh and nothing else! I sit up immediately with a jolt, only to realize my right hand is cuffed to the bed frame…. Again! “Take it easy, ma’am,” a gentle voice advises. I blink twice, my brows furrowing in confusion staring at the young woman cleaning my leg injury. “Who…What are you doing?” I stutter. She smiles sweetly, responding, “Master Page asked that I attend to you. Don't worry, I mean no harm,” she assures, but her words only heighten my ease. Mr Page? I'm certain she means Mr Kri

In his luxurious sitting room furnished with plush sofas and ornate tables, Kristen was seated with a satisfied smile on his face. Above him, a magnificent chandelier hung, casting a warm, golden glow over the space.Kristen puffs the cigarettes, smiling at how things have been going lately for him. He couldn't be more happier knowing that the love of his life had returned to him and was currently lying in his bedroom, dressed in his own clothes. He scrolls through his phone, searching for a marriage priest. Elodie's refusal doesn't matter to him; even though she says she is happy, and it's genuinely true, he has a plan. Now that he has her in his clutches, he would send twice the money that was given for her father's surgery, and then plan a grand wedding. But Kristen's ultimate goal goes far beyond mere matrimony. He plans to seduce Elodie, to claim her as his own, and to ensure that she bears him a child. She won't be able to leave him then even if she wants to. His smile grows

“Easy,” says Luke, “Knowing how predictable grandfather is, announcing his grandson's comeback would be inevitable. But I can use it to my advantage. The people who would gather will witness Kendrick's final downfall. A fall from which he will never recover.” Camila can't help the smile forming on her lips. One of the reasons she loves Luke so dearly, aside from his wealth, looks, and power, is his deceptive thinking. He never loses because his plans always turn out. A man like this is what fits a woman like herself. Luke continues “For now, we just need to keep an eye on Kendrick, and keep feeding him the usual drugs” At his words, Camila and Rose exchange uneasy glances. Reluctantly, Rose says “That… might be a problem” “What?” Luke meets her gaze “What is that supposed to mean?” Camila answers instead, “Well, the maids are no longer responsible for Kendrick's meals” Luke's brows shoot together. “What? Since when?” “It's… been two weeks now. That woman, Elodie has been the on

“I'm a bit surprised you wanted us to meet during lunch,” Elodie says, settling into her seat. “Shouldn't you be in school? Or are you skipping classes?” Elodie narrows her eyes in suspicion. Zoey quickly denies it with a nervous laugh…“What? No, of course not,” she hesitates a bit before saying “At least not now. We're actually on a break” Elodie shrugs “If you say so. Let's get down to business,” that is, planning Kendrick's birthday. She picks up the menu, asking “Did you find anything out on Kendrick?” Zoey slumps back in her chair, “I'm afraid not, I got nothing. What about you?” Elodie shakes her head. “Nothing, too. But that's okay; we'll save that aspect for later. Let's look at other things like the venue and decorations” “Right,” Zoey sits up again. “I've been thinking lately and I think it'd be best if we celebrated at home.” Zoey pauses before she explains, “Not many people know about Brother Kendrick's recovery. Besides, I don't want to draw too much attention, espe
