《The CEO's Lethal Obsession (ENGLISH VERSION)》全部章節：第 1 章 - 第 10 章

LILY RUSSELL'S POV I could feel eyes staring at me as I made my way to the seat beside Wade. Those eyes were screaming, “Who is that woman? Where the hell did she come from? Is she that wealthy?” Even so, I calmly approached where he was without even sparing him a glance. “Fifteen million pesos,” he said calmly. “Twenty million pesos.” I smirked when I saw Wade’s reaction from the corner of my eye. I still didn’t look at him and kept my gaze fixed on the necklace and ring in front of us. “Are you aware that those items are only worth three million pesos?” At last, I had completely caught the attention of Wade Chilton! “I don’t mind. This is my thing. I love those kinds of jewelry,” I said calmly. “Mr. Wade, are you going to offer a higher bid?” “Forty million pesos.” “Wow! Forty million! Anyone with a higher bid?” I stood up, about to leave, when he suddenly stood and grabbed my arm. I admit, I was startled, but I still forced myself to stay calm. “Do you really like those

LILY RUSSELL'S POV“Bro, why is your hand bleeding? What happened?”“Don’t ask questions. Why are you awake so early anyway? Tell our cook to prepare my favorite dish. I’ll just go upstairs to shower and change.”“But Bro Wade, your hand…”I stopped making coffee when I heard his name. After getting drunk the other day, I carefully planned and thought through my next move. And here I am, already standing inside the mansion of the man I hate.I looked toward where the two of them were. I saw his bleeding hand. It was probably still related to what I heard about him allegedly sending one of his company’s heads to Iran after that person betrayed him. He was looking for a USB. What I wasn’t sure about right now was whether he already knew that I was the one who took what he was missing. I couldn’t help but feel satisfied because I managed to outsmart one of his people.“This won’t kill me. When I come down, I want the food I ordered already set on the table.”After I made sure Wade had le

Lily Russell's POVI frowned when I heard Zaid’s voice. I immediately pressed my ear against the restroom door."Kuya, have you seen Miss Russell? Is she still not done in the bathroom?”"Not yet. What are you doing letting your guest wander around the house like that? You are aware that I don't want to see anyone lurking around our house, especially within my private space.”"I'm sorry, kuya. I was fixing my things, so I wasn’t able to accompany Miss Russell to the bathroom.”"Are you done with your session?”"Yes, kuya.”"Good. Tell her to leave.”"But kuya, I still have something important to tell her later…”"Tell her now so she can leave. I’m not comfortable with that woman being here.”I heard a loud door slam. Wade must have gone back into his private space.I just retouched my makeup and immediately stepped out of the restroom. I was surprised when Zaid’s face greeted me right away.“Miss Russell, good thing you're done. I wanted to tell you something.”I could feel the nervou

Lily Russell's POV“Mr. Chilton, love is not madness… to love someone isn't a waste.”“So you’re telling me that you’re accepting my brother's feelings for you?” One corner of Wade’s lips lifted. He didn't like what I said.I looked Wade in the eyes, with no trace of fear or anything. After a moment, I smiled and shook my head.“No, but what I mean is it’s not good to ignore Zaid’s feelings. He’s in his teenage years, Mr. Chilton. It might be better if you guide him on how to control his emotions. I also just want to make it clear that I have no intention of accepting what he feels for me, Mr. Chilton. I’m a few years older than your brother and he is my student. Zaid is important to me because he’s like a younger brother to me.” I turned to Zaid and looked him straight in the eyes. “But my job is more important. I respect what you feel but that’s really as far as it goes. I’m sorry, Zaid. And I’m sure what you feel for me isn’t that deep yet. You will still meet more women who are mo

Lilily Russell's POVIt felt like my heart stopped at the words he said. What exactly could I offer? That question kept echoing in my mind over and over, like an echo that refused to stop.I reached for Wade’s face and gently touched it. His skin was warm and smooth, almost like velvet. I had already noticed earlier that his face seemed to have no pores at all. The world was so unfair. Here I was, struggling to breathe and hold back my tears, and he was sitting there, looking as if he was always perfect.I shook my head. I tried to push away the meaningless thoughts creeping into my mind. This was not the time to weaken. I took a deep breath and softly said, “I am not like you, Mr. Chilton…”Wade frowned. I could see the confusion in his eyes. He didn’t immediately understand what I meant.“What do you mean?” he asked, his voice low, urging me to answer.I looked straight into his eyes. “You are heaven, I am earth.”Wade suddenly laughed. A low laugh mixed with mockery. “Is this some
