Novel & Cerita Secretly Married To The Ceo

I know they want to know who I am but no one wants to take the courage to ask. “Rogue,” I whispered to get his attention after we sat at a round table with some businessmen and ladies. He leaned on me and whispered back, “Yeah?” “What if someone recognized me?” “So what?” I glared at him, “I can’t be involved in your world.” He shot an eyebrow up and smirked at me. I got his full attention. He faced me completely and whispered, “Isn't that a good thing? They’d know we’re married—” “You said you just broke up with Mari! They’d label as a mistress and relationship wrecker. I’m telling you, Rogue. I don’t wanna be involved in your private life.”

The secret we had kept locked in the dark for five years was suddenly dragged into the blinding glare of the public eye. I sat up, rubbing my face with my hands as I unlocked the phone and opened the first news alert. THE HAWTHORNE DECEPTION: CEO SEBASTIAN HAWTHORNE’S FIVE-YEAR SECRET MARRIAGE EXPOSED. Inside sources confirm that the mysterious woman at the center of the Hawthorne Group’s recent media storm is none other than Dahlia—the company's former Creative Director—who has been secretly married to the billionaire CEO for half a decade.

Sheila had thought all night and decided it was best to move out first. However, just as she came downstairs, her phone pinged—a trending topic notification. #Breaking! Ford CEO entered a secret contract marriage with his female secretary two years ago, with terms indistinguishable from a sugar daddy agreement!

The wood creaked beneath me. "Then talk." "The company. Sterling Industries. It is mine now. Charles is dead. I am the only heir." "You are not the only heir. There are others. The children Charles had with other women." "They are not legitimate. The courts will not recognize them." "The courts recognize truth. And the truth is that Charles had seven children. You are one of them. So am I." Liam's jaw tightened. "You are not a Sterling. You are a Harper. Your mother made sure of that."

“CEO Alex, how long have you been married?” Mr. Peter had suspected that Alex was going to say something so he ordered the reporters to stop but they didn’t. Annie grounded her teeth, she was going to believe that he would talk about that bitch, would he? “I am married but not to Annie here.” Alex finally said again. “Who then are you married to sir?” “But Annie just confirmed you guys are in a secret relationship.” Alex wasn’t even looking back as he spoke. He didn’t care about their facial expression or his parents’ presence.

I could feel the weight of his stare, the tension thick enough to crush bones. “Here I was, thinking friends shared everything with each other,” Antony muttered, his voice low. “I guess, to you, that meant reporting, huh?” Kurtis never flinched. Never wavered. His expression remained cold, detached, like Antony’s words were nothing more than background noise. “Like I said,” Kurtis repeated, voice steady, “it was a secret marriage. A secret relationship.” Antony let out a bitter chuckle, nodding to himself like he finally understood something. “Well, sorry for stumbling into your secret,” he muttered before turning on his heel and storming out, the door slamming behind him.

I asked. “I was scared,” he replied. “Scared you’d walk away. Scared it would ruin everything.”he said again. I looked down at my hands. “But hiding it made it worse,” I said. “Yes,” he whispered. I turned to him slowly. “Was it really fake? Everything with her?”I asked. “Yes,” he said. “I swear. It was a business deal. Greg and his people wanted us to look like the perfect couple so investors would trust me more. It was part of the image they built for me,”He added.

I force a smile that doesn’t reach my eyes as I watch Liam and Marian walk out of the conference room— side by side after the announcement. As we all return to our positions and offices, whispers float around me, each one piercing into my heart like a thorn. “Did you hear that our new Chief Technology Officer is the CEO’s wife?” The words hit me like a slap. No one knew about my marriage to Liam, except Felicity. He insisted that we keep the marriage a secret after we got married. I hadn't minded at first, but over time, I realized he wasn't protecting us. He was ashamed of being called my husband.

He said. The time came for the meeting to start and both Ember and Axle made their way to the meeting room. When they entered everyone was already seated. They were all surprised when they saw Ember. They knew that he was his wife but they did not expect him to bring her to a meeting, especially the one as important as that one. "Everyone, this is my wife Ember and she's one of this company's major shareholders." He said. Everyone looked at him in shock, including Ember.

“Why are you asking as if you are not happy?” The secretary's laugh was dry. "Don't get me wrong, Max. I'm not unhappy, but disappointed. I thought you had considered me as your confidant. But it turns out, you hid your marriage from me.” A second later, the corners of the CEO's lips lifted, though heavy. "I don't want my father to know. If I hadn't hid it from you, my marriage to Gabriella might not be a secret anymore." "Wouldn't that be tantamount to you distrusting me?" Sebastian said with narrowed eyes.
