All Chapters of Reckless CEO One Night Stand : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Mary's POV My phone buzzed on the nightstand while I was still feeling shaky from the kiss with Reid. My lips were tingling and my whole body was still sore. I stared at the empty bed where Reid had laid with me after our heated session as I reached for my phone. I saw Freya's name on the screen and answered. "Mary," Freya's voice sounded tense and worried. "Gosh! I’ve been trying to get to you, you need to see what’s happening." "What is it?" I asked and sat up straighter. "It’s your father's company," she said with her words coming out in a rush. "It’s falling apart, deals are being canceled left and right. Investors are pulling out and the stock price is crashing. Your father is locked in his office, screaming at everyone and he has fired almost half of the workers. It’s a mess." As I listened to her, my stomach twisted into a knot, I knew this was Reid’s doing, this was his revenge for what my father did to me. A part of me felt bad that Sampson Corp was my family’s legac

AUTHOR'S POV Reid left the house feeling good and satisfied. He finally felt like things were falling back into place and he was succeeding in making her stay with him. He got to his office and found Donald there, leaning against his desk, waiting for him. "You are smiling," he said with his eyebrow raised. "Is the world going to end? When did Reid Brown finally learn how to be happy?" Reid scowled at him but he still couldn’t wipe the feeling away. "Shut up, Donald." Donald laughed and made fun of Reid but he didn’t care. For the first time in a long time, things were feeling right and he didn’t want that to change. There was still a lot more to fix and unfold and a lot more to fight for. He wanted to be a better person for her even if it would mean losing everything he had worked for, for as long as she was by his side, he would be satisfied. Then his phone rang. It was Alvin. "Sir," Alvin’s voice was all business. "Mrs. Brown is meeting her mother at a cafe downtown."

Mary's POV I kissed him with everything I had. All the fear, the anger, and the confusion, I poured them all into that kiss with my arms wrapped around his neck. I jumped and hung onto him for him to take my full weight. Reid caught me easily with his strong arms holding me up as he kissed me back just as hard, just as desperate as I was. We broke apart, both of us, gasping for air. My heart was beating so fast that I thought it would burst. "I want you," I breathed out with the words feeling both terrifying and right. "I want you, Reid Brown." I looked straight into his dark, shocked eyes. "Even though you are ruthless," I said with my voice getting stronger. "Everything about you only makes me want you more." His arms tightened around me and I could feel his heart pounding against my chest. "I want you," I whispered again and my lips brushed his. "Even if you are going to be my ruin, I don’t care anymore, I choose you." I saw something break in his eyes, it was the last o

Mary's POV I ran from the kitchen as my heart was feeling too full, too confused as Reid’s words kept playing over and over in my head. A fresh start. Take it slow. One chance. I didn’t know how to feel, a part of me wanted to believe him so badly that it hurt while another part was screaming that it was a trick. It was only for his devious measures and I didn’t want to be gullible, at least not again. I reached my room and closed the door. As I leaned against the door, the tears I had been holding back began to stream. Are they happy tears? Or tears that I am scared? I didn’t know which it was. What was Reid up to? Did he want to hurt me? Was he trying to use me or he really meant what he said? Then, my phone buzzed in the pocket of Reid’s shirt. I pulled it out and wiped my eyes. It was a message from my father. I thought I had made it clear that I didn’t want anything to do with him, he should get lost for all I care. I opened it. It was a picture. A dark, blurr

Mary's POV As I stared at my father, my vision blurred with tears, the ropes on my wrists felt so tight and the fear in my heart felt even tighter. He looked enraged and if looks could kill, I would be six feet under the ground. "Dad," I whispered with my voice shaking. "Please, please do not kill my child. She doesn't have to be this way, please, he is just a little girl. She has done nothing wrong, just let him go, please." My father just stared down at me with his face cold and unhinged by anything I said. If anything, it made him look even more infuriated. "I worked for everything," he said with his voice flat and hard. "I built my company from nothing, and I made the Sampson name powerful. Do you have any idea how many sacrifices I have made to get to where I am? I put my sweat and blood into reaching the position I was in, I did it all and a few weeks back, you ruined it all. You ruined everything." I shivered at his tune but it didn’t stop me from pleading. "I am sorry,
