Alle Kapitel von Coffee, Chaos and the Ceo: Kapitel 41 – Kapitel 50

Adrian knew his family was not warm. Neither did they truly care about one another... or at least they never cared about him. They had never hidden that fact from him. The only reason they tolerated his existence now was because his stepbrother, James, the favorite son of the Beaumont family, had passed away a few years earlier, leaving Adrian as the only heir to carry on the Beaumont name.That alone had made his stepmother hate him even more. In her eyes, Adrian had stolen the position that rightfully belonged to her son, even though James had died under scandalous circumstances. No matter how many years had passed, she still looked at Adrian as though he were responsible for everything she had lost."They're probably busy with work. We have a large company to run and we can't afford to slack off... neither can I," Adrian responded confidently.Adrian’s voice carried the authority of a businessman who was used to giving orders. It was enough to fool anyone who did not know him perso

"Father... what are you doing here?" Evelina asked, excitement filling her voice.The doctor had not told her that they would be releasing her father from the hospital today, yet there he was, standing behind the counter, working as though he had never been away for even a single day.The moment she saw his familiar face, her heart overflowed with joy.Without a second thought, Evelina hurried behind the counter and wrapped her arms around the older man as tightly as she could. Visiting him in the hospital and speaking to him over the phone every day had never been enough. She needed her father to be physically there with her. She had missed his comforting presence more than she had ever realized.When she finally pulled away from the embrace, a single tear rolled down her father’s cheek. He had missed her just as much."I missed you so much, my dear daughter. There are so many things I want to tell you. But first of all... congratulations on your engagement," her father said, his voi

"Evelina and I are getting married in two weeks and we have already set the date for our wedding." The moment those words left Adrian's mouth, Evelina felt her entire body go cold.Neither Diana, Emelda, nor Evelina had discussed anything about getting married. Adrian had done what he always did... gone completely off script. As soon as she heard those words, alarm bells began ringing inside Evelina's head.Two weeks, the so called wedding was only two weeks away.Their contract stated that they would pretend to be engaged for six months. Almost one month had already passed, leaving five more months before they were supposed to end their arrangement and walk away from each other's lives.Now Adrian had suddenly announced that they were getting married.Evelina slowly turned her head toward Emelda, who was clapping her hands together in excitement while celebrating the announcement. Diana also looked pleasantly surprised before smiling and congratulating Adrian. Neither of them had any

Adrian's MansionThe moment the driver brought the vehicle to a stop, Evelina was the first to rush out. She hurried inside the mansion without looking back and made her way straight to her room.The entire drive had been silent.Adrian had chosen not to say another word. He did not want to step on Evelina's toes any more than he already had. At that very moment, she hated him more than anything, and he did not blame her. After all, he had failed to follow through with the plan they had discussed with Diana.The moment Evelina entered her room, she shut the door behind her and leaned her back against it. She closed her eyes and took several deep breaths, trying to calm herself.After a few moments, she walked over to her nightstand and pulled open the top drawer. Reaching inside, she took out a large brown envelope. She did not have to open it to know what was inside. Every single night before going to bed, she would open the envelope and take out the document hidden inside.The divor

"Sure... I'll remember that," Evelina responded in a low voice, doing her best to hide the disappointment she felt.She had thought Adrian had done all of this to help her escape a marriage that had already fallen apart. She had believed, even if only for a brief moment, that somewhere beneath his cold exterior, there was kindness. But the reality was very different, he was only trying to protect his reputation.Adrian had already announced to the media that he would be getting married in two weeks. For that to happen, she needed to be divorced from Tim before the wedding day arrived."Mr. Adrian." Both Adrian and Evelina turned toward the entrance of the living room, only to find one of his house help standing there."What is it?" Adrian asked.His voice was deep and commanding, enough to make the house help hesitate. She stood nervously at the doorway, unsure of what kind of mood Adrian was in."There are a few men in suits outside, sir. They said they are here to see you and that t
