บททั้งหมดของ A FORBIDDEN NIGHT WITH THE CEO : บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

*SIENNA*I stared at him, confused.“Miss Lena is inside.I blinked in surprise.Is he serious right now?Unwilling to believe it , I stepped forward and pushed the door open.My heart sank when I saw them sitting side by side.Alexander was dressed in a blue shirt and his face slightly flushed.Has he been drinking?Lena was wearing a sheer dress, and I could see the color of her bra beneath it.Was he really playing games with me?Was this the same man who had slept with me just two days ago?The same man who had held me in his arms for four hours?How could he sit so comfortably with another woman now?“Alexander, this fish is really delicious,” Lena murmured.Alexander glanced at me.I was certain he had seen me, yet he casually acted like he didn't.“You look so beautiful today,” he said to Lena, who touched her face and giggled shyly.Unable to watch any longer, I stepped back and quietly closed the door.Please inform Mr. Grave that I no longer wish to have lunch at this rest

*SIENNA*I glanced at him.I couldn’t believe he was still thinking about that.“Yes, I made a bet about you,” I said curtly. “So sue me.”I looked away from him.Then I saw a bank card suddenly placed on my desk.“I’m not here to argue with you,” he said. “There’s enough money on this card to cover your living expenses and your family’s. Take it.His words grated on my nerves.I stood and faced him. ‘I don’t need your money.’‘The contract states that I’ll take care of the child’s needs."I turned and faced the window and took a deep calming breath.'The child doesn’t need any cash right now, so I don’t need your card.You're stubborn . He picked the card. "If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask me. With that, he walked away.I held back my tears. I wouldn’t let myself seem vulnerable.I had to bottle up all these feelings.I wouldn’t let myself shed a single tear because of him.Even though the contract clearly states that he will provide for both me and the baby, I will

*SIENNA*"How could you call my mom indecent when you're the one who ruined our home!”Sienna, don’t speak to her like that,” Patrick warned.“You disgust me! Why can’t you ever just let me have peace?!” I shouted.Patrick clutched his chest, suddenly looking as if he was in pain.“You’re always disrespecting me at every opportunity.”“Sienna, don’t insult your father… you know his blood pressure isn’t stable,” my mother cautioned.I couldn’t believe she was still defending him. This man here is not my father. My father has died. I snapped.Elise steadied Patrick.“Don’t get upset, dear. She’s not worth it.” She turned to me. “You ridicule me every chance you get, but you’re not so perfect either. You're pregnant with no sign of the father anywhere.I scoffed. "I'm married, alright? I just haven't made it official with a proper banquet yet. I'm nothing like you," I blurted out, bragging without thinking.Just then, Lena walked in.“You’re married?” she laughed harshly. “Is that the e

*SIENNA*He drew closer to me and wrapped his arm around my waist."Alexander.Let's head home." We started moving away with his hand still around my waist.I didn't resist him.I enjoyed the sensation of having his hand right there.I looked at him as we walked.Everything had occurred so quickly this evening and it felt like a dream…From putting that mother and daughter in their places...to capturing my mother's heart....And now...I was going to his home.Could it be that he was genuinely into me?I suddenly felt thrilled.When we reached his car, he pulled his hand from my waist.I was a bit disappointed.I just wished he would hold me forever."I noticed your mother was watching us from the window so I had to act lovingly towards you so she could see that you were in good hands.""What?"I glanced back but we were quite far from my house.I wanted to hit myself again for thinking he was genuinely being sweet towards me."We're legally married. We should constantly help each oth

*SIENNA*No need..." he muttered so softly that I had to lean in to hear.Then he walked out and banged the door.Just when I thought everything was improving between us...Ugh...Was I too harsh on him?ALEXANDERDoes she want her own space?Why is it so tough to get that woman under my influence?Must she resist me every opportunity she gets?Why can't she just obey everything I say?!I sat on my bed and picked my phone."Hello, Mr. Graves," Stella responded from the other end of the line."There's no need to set up a meeting with the investor. I will go to Washington instead.""But the flight has already been arranged and.....""Do you need me to repeat myself?!" I barked."No, sir. I would arrange a flight for you right away.I ended the call and moved to the window to calm myself down.I've always managed everything my way...My life has always been systematic but that woman nearby keeps awakening these odd feelings in me...I took a deep calming breath.I have to organize my
