Steven's Pov Desperation clawed at my chest as I thought about losing my position as CEO. I couldn't lose what I worked hard to get. I had tried everything I could to prove my worth to my grandfather before he announced me as the CEO. And losing that position because of some freaking reason shouldn't be. I couldn't bear the thought of losing my position, because it was what I had dedicated my life to. So I must give it all my all to save it. I needed to remain in my position to gain the company later, it was all I had lived for, nothing else.I pulled up in front of the The Golden Suite, where I thought she might be. I needed to see her, to ensure we were still on the same page. There was no way the fear in me would dissolve if I didn't set my eyes on her and confirm.I wondered what was going on at the moment. If she had seen her sister and confirmed that I was right, or proved that I was wrong. However, I was confident that there was no way I was wrong because I knew what her

Steven's Pov I couldn't let myself be swayed by this sudden, uncalled-for feelings that were affecting me. Everytime I looked into her eyes, a strange sensation erupted inside me, such feelings I never had before. And which I was scared of, because my instincts nudged me that it was danger. And one must stay away from danger to avoid getting hurt. “Right now?" She asked, sounding surprised. Her blue eyes bulged, staring wide at me, causing the same unwanted feeling to wash over me. But I decided to keep these sudden feelings in check, acting nonchalant.“Do you think if we have the wedding immediately, people won't be suspicious of us? Especially my grandfather." I explained, knowing that someone as skeptical as grandfather would suspect I had planned it out if we do it right away.“Your grandfather?" She prompted, looking at me questioningly.“He is the reason why I'm doing this thing. He threatened me to remove me as CEO of I don't marry." I said, feeling heave of annoyance.“A

Carly's POV My breath cut in my throat as realization hit me like a punch in the face. My heart raced in my chest like crazy, as if it would be exploding soon. The pain of their betrayal echoed in my ribs sharply. I didn't know I was such a fool, a complete fool. I had completely placed myself into their hands, and let them used me like a pawn. A weary and bitter chuckle escaped my lips, as I found it harder to believe how well the two of them must had planned against me. But surprisingly, the pain wasn't as cruel as it had been before, maybe because I had known how venomous both of them were. “But I don't understand," Steven's voice cut through my thought, dragging me back to reality. “How long was your contract with the cooperation that they would Immediately hand over your shares to your sister." He questioned. “It's already been six years." I replied. “Six years?" He repeated, sounding surprised. “Yes, the construction should have been completed by now, but there w

Carly's POV The expression on the woman's face was beyond surprise. Her mouth agaped, but nothing came out. Her widened eyes glinted with surprise and astonishment. Confusion clouded my mind as I wondered what was unfolding before me. Was it a bad thing for someone to announce that they were getting married?“I'm the one getting married, or don't you think I deserve it?" He said, his joke lightening the tensed atmosphere.“What..." The woman voice broke as she started. She dabbed at her eyes, wiping off the tears there. “I can't believe this." She mumbled, sniffing.“Can you please stop this? You are starting to embarrass me," he whispered, leaning towards her, but I could hear him clearly.I scoffed. Did he really think I hadn’t caught that? “I'm sorry, I am just happy." She whispered, wiping away the last remnants of her tears. She turned to me and managed a small smile. “Nice to meet you Carly, I am Mrs Rose Taylor. But you can just call me Rose." She introduced. Wait! She

I couldn't believe I had let my anger get the best of me earlier when she mentioned my parents —especially my mother. I had sworn to never think of her, never look for her. She had painfully made it cleared that she didn't want me in her life when she left me with my father and left me alone.Pushing the entrance door opened, I stepped inside and saw Carly and Rose sitting across from each other, chatting and laughing as if they had known each other for years. They seemed to have grown close.Rose was someone important to me, she held a special place in my heart. She had cared for me since I was young, and had shown me the love my mother didn't give me.The moment my footsteps echoed through the room, both of them turned their head in unison toward me and their eyes locked onto me. My gaze fell on Carly who I couldn't tear my eyes away from. she looke

Now, he would be suspicious.Then I suddenly remembered that I was supposed to meet Carly at the boutique. Since I had something urgent to deal with, I had no other choice but to text her to try on her bridal dress without me.After sending the message, I dropped the phone on the table and held my temples with my hands.

Carly's POV I stared at my phone screen grudgingly, resentment flaring within me. Why did Steven think he could just call and order me around without even asking if I was available? His bossy attitude was infuriating.He called, but without giving me a chance to speak he hung up the phone.Who did he think he was?I gripped my phone tightly, my lips pressed together as I struggled to contain the raw anger growing in me. His demeanor was really getting on my nerves and I couldn't help but wonder why I had agreed to this deal with him without finding out who he was.I opened the message box and saw the address he had sent. The name of the place seemed to be a boutique, and I assumed it was related to the wedding. But I had plans of my own, and Steven's sudden demand was inconvenient. Apart from packing my precious belongings from my own house. I had also promised Ana that I would meet her later to explain everything, but now it seemed I would have to postpone our meeting. She had dem

Steven's Pov I sat behind my desk, drowning in a sea of paperwork. My spine and joints ached like hell from hours of hunching over documents. I still had a mountain of work to finish, and the weight of it was crushing me.I stretched my neck and my arching wrist, and Just as I was about to delve back into the chaos, a knock at the door broke the silence. “Come in," I muttered, not bothering to look up.The door creaked open, and footsteps echoed through the room, drawing closer to me. I raised my head to see who it was, and my eyes met with my secretary's, whose eyes were barely opened. He seemed so tired and overwhelmed, like he was on the verge of collapse.“So, have you found the perfect place for wedding attire?" I asked, my eyes narrowing at him incredulously. Earlier, I had asked him to look for a perfect place where Carly and I could buy our wedding attires.“Yes sir," he replied, then leaning closer to me to show me the picture of the place on the tablet in his hands. “T

Steven's PovMy arms curled around her body in a careful and protective way, holding her close as I protected her from falling. I watched silently, intrigued, as she shut her eyes, as if she was expecting something. Anticipating something... A kiss from me?The thought sent a chill through my entire body, and for a moment, I considered giving in to my desires. And trust me, if I decided go with what was in my head. The voice in my head that said that I should kiss her, I wouldn't be able to stop myself, and surely it could lead to something else. But I didn't want to ruin our deal. I didn't want to complicate things. So I pushed the thought aside and focused on the present.“What are you doing?" I asked, a grin spreading across my face as I struggled to contain my laughter that threatened to rip out of my lips."What are you thinking?" I added, and immediately she snapped her eyes open, staring at me with an intensity that left me breathless.This woman was doing something to me, some

Carly's POV I watched as Steven moved to the driver's side, his silence deafening. He didn't even spare me a glance, and I could sense the gloomy atmosphere surrounding him. I didn't know why, but his silence was really killing me. I mean at least he supposed to say something, like sorry. He brought me here, only to make them insult me, and also he didn't give me chance to finish my meal before he told me we were leaving. So why was he acting sulky?“I don't know why you brought me here just to have me insulted." I said, my voice dripping with hurt and disappointment.I had thought it would be a normal dinner, but who knew that it would be wordy-bloody one. Steven's hand stopped on the car handle, and he turned to face me. Then leaving the other side of the car, he came to where I was standing, at the passenger side of the car. “It looks like you aren't the only one who was insulted." He pointed out, his eyes shimmering with anger from earlier that hadn't completely dissolved.

Carly's POV As soon as his grandfather left the dinning table, the atmosphere grew tensed. So tensed that I felt suffocating in their presence. I wondered if they were real family, their antagonistic attitude for one another was very palpable.“Wow, I'm impressed, Steven." The man who I assumed to be Steven's cousin's father said, because I could see the resemblance between two of them. "I didn't think you'd go such lengths to secure your position in the company."“Of course I need to protect what's mine. Why wouldn't I?" He retorted. “I worked so hard to get there, and I can't let my hard work go waste." Steven added, his voice steady, with no hint of fear.Wow, he had returned to the previous Steven, the one who was confident, arrogant and fearless. Unlike the one he had become In front of his grandfather.“So you are saying that you are hardworking?" And the one who I presumed to be the mother of the cousin, confronted him, “The country playboy claims himself for being hard worki

Steven's Pov I couldn't just sit there and say nothing when my position was on the line. A flood of anxiety flowed through my veins as I thought about the consequences of being caught. What if she became scared of him and told him everything? How we met and what we had planned. I glanced at Carly, who was shaking slightly, and I knew that I did a great job at interrupting her.If my grandfather found out of our plan, that would be the end of everything, everything would ruin. I swallowed hard at my grandfather's threat, he was really a mean man. Trust me he wasn't a man who bluffed. If he got hands on what we planned, he would surely removed me from the family registry, but I was not ready to be removed. All my life I had dreamt of becoming the chairman of the knight enterprises, that's all I ever dreamt of, and that's all I ever lived for.I glanced around the table, meeting the suspicious gaze of my cousin, Peter. “But cousin, you don't really enjoy going to any reunion.
