All Chapters of CEO's UNEXPECTED WIFE : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Maddison's POV"It's Sunday," he’d grumbled, burying his face in her hair. "I pay other people to deal with problems on Sundays. People like you, My Love. THE LEAD ENGINEER.""This could be the bridge," she whispers. "Perhaps a cable has broken? You'd like to know that," she went on. "RIGHT?"He groaned. He turned and picked up his mobilephone from his countertop.She'd been staring at his face at that moment, and his expression had changed; warmth and happiness shifted to an icy coldness in a split second. He was back in his usual CEO face, and his jaw was clenched, with his cheek twitching."What is it?" he’d snapped into the phone.Maddison sipped some tea, and all she did was watch him. The silence in the room was not what it was just some moments before. The sunlight streaming through the window had now seemed smaller as well.Grant’s voice was too quiet. "Hey! Calm down. Just read it to me,"She set down her mug with a loud clatter. BANG! Sundays were the only time his PR manage

Maddison's POV“That’s not enough,” Grant said, taking a step towards her. His hand rose to shoulder level but fell as if it were unimportant.“Not after what Tyler said and not after medical information was leaked out to the public,” Grant continued. “The whole thought of Harrison Enterprises' CEO being compromised…you know?” Grant went on."Compromised?" A laugh burst out of Maddison, but it was weak, like it would break."Just for loving me?""Because I may be raising somebody else's child," Grant pressed on. His voice remained entirely even; he had not shown feeling yet. "That is what they see. They already think I am weak.""I don't care what it looks like," Maddison shouted. Her eyes welled up with tears."I only care about what’s real," she continued. "This is our baby. Me and you! Why isn't your word good enough?""Making money isn't about trust.”"It's about being sure." His lungs expanded deeply; his chest rose and fell heavily.His eyes met hers; she saw nothing but emptine

Maddison's POVHis eyes flew open. For a moment, everything was blurry before coming sharply into focus on her face."It's nothing," he had managed to say. He was breathing heavily. "Just dizzy.""He's going to pass out!" cried the nurse. Her friendly voice had ended just as soon as she said the words. The tubes were switched in the blink of an eye. "Breathe! In through the nose and out of the mouth!""I am breathing,” Grant growled the words out, but a weird whistling escaped him. He’d leaned his head against the wall behind him. "Just get it over with,” he’d said.Maddison just stared at him. A sick feeling had churned in her belly. This was more than being afraid of needles. Grant was the type of man who could walk through a construction zone where steel beams had swung through just above his head. He would not be afraid of sharp things."Is it your chest?" Maddison had asked. She reached out and touched his knee. The angry flush had now left her face to be replaced by a chilling d

Maddison’s POVJamie’s tone had changed. His nice, cool attorney’s demeanor simply vanished. He was now putting on a much tougher-looking expression."When we asked for the RUSHED report on the test result," he said,"they quickly put their best hands to get the results. They'd picked up something peculiar from last night right away.""What?" Maddison asked. She was rubbing her eyes in anger. "What happened?"“Someone had tried to bribe them.”It was like the breath was being sucked out of the room. Maddison’s chest was tightened. She just couldn’t breathe.“A bribe?”“A lab worker said he'd received a call from a burner phone or something like that,” Jamie began speaking in careful sentences. “There was an offer of fifty thousand dollars. Cash. The caller didn't want them to change the results, not exactly. He just wanted to swap the samples.”Maddison’s stomach was doing somersaults at that instant. Her feet felt like they were planted on the ceiling.“Swap them?”“He wanted the test

Maddison's POVThe silence they had so carefully built after that serious misunderstanding about who fathered Maddison's baby…the paternity test wouldn't last long at all. Maddison’s stomach had turned upside down as soon as Grant's phone dropped on the table. The CFO's trembling voice had shattered the silence in the room.Their personal troubles were far from ending, because the call from Marcus Lex was proof that they…their family had an even greater battle looming in the future. Government officials…SEC had emerged out of nowhere.And the next three days at home resulted in complete chaos. Their tush penthouse, where they always felt so safe, turned into a buzzing center of activity. A type that Maddison had never witnessed since she moved in. Phones stopped dialing, and no one slept for more than two hours daily. They now moved all their research…discussions to the top floor of Harrison's enterprise shortly after. Maddison and Grant had reduced their lives to that one place becau
