Alle Kapitel von The CEO's Unwanted Wife : Kapitel 21 – Kapitel 30

Fiona POV“Fi! Fiona?” Raina’s voice reached me as if she were underwater. “Are you okay, babes? Want to do something?” She was visibly worried.“It’s okay, babes. I’m okay. I just need some time…” I mumbled, lifting my head from the bathroom sink just to answer her.Truth was, I had a killer hangover. Raina and I hadn’t slept a wink last night; we’d taken the whole “girls’ night” thing way too seriously. We’d gone wild, downing heavy drinks and talking about guys until the early hours. Now here I was, with a hangover so brutal the only thing I wanted was to die.But I forced myself to shower, take some hangover meds, and head to the kitchen where the Fosters were waiting for breakfast, or brunch, to be more accurate.“Oh my God, I’m so sorry, guys. I’m literally one foot in the grave,” I groaned, pulling a pained face as I joined them at the table.“It’s okay, girl. But I did warn you that you were overdoing it and you’re not that good with booze,” Raina teased with a mocking laugh,

Fiona POV “What? You want me to come work here for you?” I asked, dumbfounded. I was sitting in front of my mother’s desk in her office, a brightly lit place with modern decor in turquoise and magenta pink, representing how much Empowear Co. represented its male and female clients. The walls were glass, so I could see the usual activity of the office/studio where Mom worked. “I don’t understand the reaction,” said my mother, sitting cross-legged in front of me. “You’ve never shown fear of work, you’ve always been dedicated. So why is me calling you to work shocking you so much?” “The issue isn’t the work itself, it’s you calling me to work with you as if I couldn’t take care of my own life,” I retorted. I knew very well what Mom was doing, always trying to protect and take care of me even now that I was a grown woman. "Haha, don't be a dummy!" she gave a fake laugh as if I were wrong. "I'm willing to hire you. You graduated in marketing from a prestigious university that only

Fiona POV Making love with Sebastian had always been an out-of-this-world sensation. Our contract marriage did not specify that I was required to fulfill my wifely duties. After all, I had been hired to take care of Sebastian, who was blind and depressed at the time following the death of his parents and Ross leaving him. I just had to be there, keeping him company, giving him attention, and making his days a little happier, but the first time he kissed me and wanted me in his bed, I didn't hesitate. Not that I could have hesitated, since he was my greatest passion. Being in his arms was like being in heaven. I was so emotionally dependent on him that I didn't care if he didn't love me and just wanted to have a little fun with me. I didn't care, as long as he was with me, I didn't care. But the magic of those moments with him hadn't diminished even after the divorce request. Sebastian was devouring my mouth now, his body on top of me and his hands holding my legs as he thrus

Fiona POV “Oh, so this is the new team from the new women's department? What can I say? It's going to be a waste of money since the team leader herself is out of shape, so how is she going to be able to meet the demands of the target audience?” For a moment I stood there, staring at the man in front of me who was deliberately mocking me. “And who would you be?” I asked bluntly. “Paul Skinner, head of the men's department, at your service,” he said, puffing out his chest proudly and extending his hand to me. Ah, so this was my business rival? He was leading the men's department and I was in the women's department, so clearly we would be business rivals. And from his greedy look, I could tell we wouldn't get along well. I didn't even bother to shake his hand in greeting. “I'm Fiona Blackwood, the head of this department. And I think you should know that it's unethical to interrupt meetings you're not supposed to be in,” I said bluntly, not bowing my head to this man. There wa

Fiona's POV “He really said that to you?” Raina Foster was dumbfounded on the other end of the line. “He said it in no uncertain terms, that he’s with Ross now, clearly wanting me to stop bothering him again,” I recounted, still with a bitter taste in my mouth. I was tired of playing this role for this man, honestly. “Wow, girl. That was really harsh even coming from Sebastian,” Raina commented, showing her frustration. I just sighed, shrugging. “I deserve it, don’t I? It was stupid of me to think that he…” To think that he liked me now? I avoided saying that because it only made me feel even more stupid. “Anyway, life goes on.” I was entering the Empowear Co. building for another day of work, the only way I could avoid being stuck at home crying rivers because of the pain of rejection. "And that's what I say. Let's move forward, the best is yet to come," said Raina from the other side. "Have a great day at work, my love!" "You too, my dear," I replied with a smile and
