ARRANGED WITH MR CEO CHAPTER 1
Rosalind Chris★Today marks our one-year anniversary with my boyfriend Mark, and despite always being there for each other and understanding each other, he hasn't been picking up my calls.Did he forget about today?I drove to his house, knocked on the door, and received no response. With a sinking feeling, I bit my lip and pondered his whereabouts. Turning the doorknob, I found it unlocked. As I cautiously entered and searched downstairs, I eventually made my way upstairs to his room, where I was met with the sound of moans.With slow, hesitant steps, I pushed open the door, feeling my heart shatter as tears welled up in my eyes. "Mark," I called out, my voice trembling with emotion."Oh, look who's here," he said flatly, devoid of emotion, as he nonchalantly got off the bed. Walking towards me in his naked state, he flashed a smile that sent a chill down my spine."I forgot to mention, we're over. I've been preoccupied with this lovely lady," he stated, gesturing towards the woman

Rosalind Chris★ I snuggled up to the person beside me and inhaled the amazing scent. I felt myself being pushed away gently and heard someone sigh beside me. I sluggishly stood up from the bed and gazed at the figure standing in front of me. I rubbed my bleary eyes and focused my attention back on the figure. I lifted the bedsheet and gasped in surprise. I slowly remembered what had happened the night before and realized I had mistaken the man for Mark, my boyfriend."What are you doing in my room"I asked,shocked."If I am correct, this is room 201." He raised the card in the middle of his two fingers. I slowly remembered the receptionist giving me a card for room 210."Shit, what have I done?" In a swift motion, I rose from the bed and hurriedly came down. "What have I done?" I kept repeating the question while running my hands through my hair. In haste, I threw my clothes on and arranged my hair. A card was tossed in my direction, prompting me to gaze at the man in confusion before

Jeremy Lightwood★ Lightwood Enterprise is celebrating its 40th anniversary this evening. Last night did not go as planned when she stared at me as if I hadn't said anything before retiring to bed."How did your it go with Miss Rosa last night?" Gran Mels inquired as she served me breakfast and settled in to sit. Before I could respond, the sound of heels echoed through the room as Rosalind entered, dressed in a powerful suit and sharp trousers. Gran's face lit up upon seeing her and she stood up in excitement."I was just inquiring about you from..." Gran Mels trailed off, searching for the right word. Rosa simply smiled at her and Gran graciously gestured for her to sit, pulling out a chair for her to take a seat.Why does Grandmother look so elated after seeing her? Gran went to the kitchen, leaving an awkward silence in her wake. Rosa dropped the document on the table and poured herself a glass of water."I couldn't help but notice that you seemed hesitant about signing the propos

Rosalind Lightwood★ The room was filled with camera flashes from the reporters and handshakes from the guests, but all I could muster were fake smiles. Jeremy walked with me as we greeted the guests together. Mr Lightwood walked up to me and hugged me. "I knew I had chosen the perfect woman for my son, thank you for your cooperation," he whispered to me. "Oh, I heard you are inviting your parents for dinner tomorrow night, will be there," he added. I smiled and bowed in respect.Who told him I was in cooperation with the marriage?I sighed as I remembered my parents were coming over for tomorrow's dinner."You look gorgeous tonight"Jeremy suddenly exclaimed."This is the response I receive after sharing with the world that I am your wife," I retorted. "I remember now, my opinion doesn't seem to matter to anyone."I added.If only I had known this was the true motive behind his invitation. I believed this marriage should have been a private affair between our families."What are you im

JEREMY LIGHTWOOD ★Headache!As I stood up to take my bath, the stench of alcohol clung to me. I glanced at my reflection and recalled the heated confrontation with Jason after Rosalind's departure. In a fit of anger, I landed a punch on his face, sparking a tumultuous brawl between us. I indulged in excessive drinking before stumbling home that night.After a refreshing bath, I slipped into a comfy cloth and made my way downstairs for breakfast."Good morning, Gran," I greeted as I settled into my seat, I returned my gaze, only to find Rosalind's eyes nervously meeting mine in the kitchen. She quickly turned her attention back to the food she was preparing, dressed in a turtleneck and shorts, a stark contrast to the stunning backless black gown she had worn the night before. As she timidly entered the hall, clutching her purse, I couldn't help but admire her elegant presence.Gran approached me with a sigh, concern evident in her eyes as she asked, ",Take a look at your face, was thi

JEREMY LIGHTWOOD ★The company was abuzz with reporters the following week, the securities struggled to make way for me to pass as I stunned everyone with the news of my marriage."Mike, please verify the situation of my wife's office," I instructed my personal assistant."I've already done so this morning, and it remains unchanged - reporters have taken over the place," he replied."Mr. Lightwood, are you truly married to the woman you never mentioned to me?" Mike's unexpected question made me pause on my tracks and face him."Do I need to disclose every detail to you? And that 'woman' is my wife, Rosalind Lightwood," I replied before heading to the meeting room.As I entered, the executive team fell silent, whispering amongst themselves. Taking my seat, the meeting began. The leader of the team announced a new proposal from a cutting-edge marketing agency, and I enthusiastically approved, prompting a woman to rise from the group." "Good morning, Mr. Lightwood," she began, "I am a

JEREMY LIGHTWOOD★"The people's actions of invading my wife's property and attempting to ruin our reputation will not be tolerated. Anyone caught will be arrested and taken to court," I declared before passing the microphone to someone else. As I left, reporters called out my name and snapped pictures.I received a call from my father, urgently requesting my presence at his house. I commanded Mike to call the driver and park the car at the entrance, checking the time as it was already getting dark. "Why are you so concerned about people invading Rosa's office?" Dad yelled as I entered."If I don't address it, they won't believe we are married. I had to take action to protect the company's reputation, as being married to her means she's now a business I must care of" I explained."I don't want you forget the real reason you are married" He stated.Jason is back, am sure he didn't expect me to be married that's why I would never lose the company to him.★★★After dropping my suit on th

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★The good for something alarm blared loudly, prompting a groan as I stretched my arms to silence it. As I lay in bed, the familiar scent enveloped me, and I instinctively reached out, hoping to find him beside me. But when I opened my eyes, reality set in—I was back home, wearing one of his T-shirts. Slowly, I rose to my feet, taking in the comforting yet bittersweet surroundings."No wonder I caught a whiff of his scent," I mused, rising slowly to my feet, a tingling ache in my core reminding me of last night’s events. I covered my eyes to hide the blush creeping up my cheeks and made my way to the bathroom for a hot bath. It was the first day of the year, and the fashion house would be reopening today.After a quick but refreshing bath, I emerged from the bathroom and diligently applied my favorite skincare products, all while slipping into my office attire. Grabbing my bag, I hurried to leave the house."You seem to be in a rush," Gran remarked as I encountered

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★It's the final day of December. The biting cold outside sent shivers through me as I adjusted the thick duvet around my body, yearning to snuggle closer to Jeremy. I rubbed my hands against the bed, expecting to find him there, but Opening my eyes, I was met with an empty space. Glancing around the room, I confirmed its solitude before rising from the bed to check the time—it was only nine in the morning. Slipping into my cozy bedroom slippers, I made my way downstairs, the chill of the day still lingering in the air.I searched his private office, but he was nowhere to be found."You're awake?" Grandma asked, her eyes lighting up as she spotted me."Yes, good morning," I replied, walking over to her in the living room and wrapping her in a warm hug before scanning the room for any sign of Jeremy."Oh, Jeremy isn't home right now; he didn't want to wake you when he left early this morning," she said, her attention fixed on the news."He left? Where did he go?" I a

JEREMY LIGHTWOOD★I was lost in a deep, comforting sleep when a voice, one I would cherish hearing every day, gently stirred me awake. As I smiled and turned to her, she sat beside me on the bed and pressed her lips to mine. "Good morning! Come on, get up; we have breakfast to enjoy, and a long day ahead of us," she said, her words brightening my mood. I couldn't help but smile as I gazed at her beautiful, round face. I ran my fingers through her hair, cupping her face as I looked into her eyes, still heavy with sleep."I thought I might spend the entire day gazing at your lovely face, hoping to make you fall for me all over again," I said, my voice still heavy with sleep, causing her to smile with a hint of blush on her cheeks. "Come on, let's have breakfast; don’t forget we have plans for today," she replied, rising from the bed.In that moment, I remembered that the New Year was just around the corner—only two days away. Our whole family would be gathering at Dad's for the cele

JEREMY LIGHTWOOD★"I have a report from Mrs Clara's company," Mike announced as we stepped into my office after my schedule."After a long evening filled with tight meetings, you expect me to listen to a report from Clara's?" I asked and raised an eyebrow after sensing his sudden silence. Sensing that what he had to say was important, I gestured for him to continue as I sat down.“She breached the contract between our company and hers, and she already paid the fine for that breaching the contract,” he said, prompting a chuckle from me.Whatever game Jason and Clara are playing is unlikely in our favor."If she has paid for the fine of breaching the contract, then there's no need to report back to me—just keep a close watch in Jason," I instructed, and he nodded in agreement."Actually, your father would like to see you after your schedule today" He added and I nodded.It had been some time since we last saw each other, following the shareholders' election. I glanced at the clock

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★As I slept, I felt soft lips brush against my forehead, the familiar scent enveloping me, prompting a smile as he cuddled me closer. I nestled deeper into his embrace, and he tenderly kissed my hair. "Good morning," he whispered, and I slowly opened my eyes to meet his beautiful eyes."You smell amazing," I said, and his smile widened in response."Would you like to have a taste of me, then?" he asked, his voice dripping with flirtation, leaving me momentarily speechless. "What are you talking about?" I stammered, quickly trying to hide my flushed cheeks as I attempted to get off the bed. But he pulled me back on the bed, his face inches from mine, our noses brushing together as he held my hands above my head."Aren't you going to be late for work?" I asked him, a teasing smile playing on my lips."Well, I could easily spend the whole day with you," he replied, and I leaned in, stealing a quick kiss before grinning at him."Do it again," he urged, his eyes sparkl

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★"Mr. Lightwood, your immediate attention is required at the company," his assistant interjected, urgency lacing his voice as he interrupted us, prompting us to pull away from one another."What’s going on?" I inquired, noticing the tension in his expression as he pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration."I'll be back; just wait for me," he replied, and I instinctively grasped his hand, unwilling to let him go."No, tell me what's going on," I urged, my voice laced with concern as he let out a heavy sigh."The shareholders have caught wind of our contract we signed, and they want both Jason and me at the company to vote on who will take over as CEO," he explained, and my heart sank."What are you saying? Oh God!" I gasped, biting my lip in anxiety."It's going to be okay. You should stay here; I'll be back soon," he reassured me, but I tightened my grip on his hand."No, I'm going with you. I’ll wait for you there," I insisted, and after a moment of hesitation

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★As I stepped off the plane, I pulled my luggage behind me, the night air wrapping around me like a blanket. The flight had taken the usual eleven hours to reach the city.After leaving the airport, I stood outside, scanning the street for a cab. Just as one pulled up in front of me, I heard a familiar voice calling my name—Jeremy. I turned to see him weaving through the crowd, determination etched on his face as he made his way toward me.I swiftly stowed my luggage in the trunk and slid into the backseat, relaying my destination to the driver, who immediately started the engine and pulled away. As I stole a glance at him, I noticed the fury simmering beneath his calm exterior. I couldn't help but marvel at his patience for waiting at the airport until I finally emerged. Upon arriving at Carrie's house, I settled the fare and retrieved my bags, then approached the door, pressing the bell and knocking insistently. When my calls to her went unanswered, I felt a s

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★I was still taken aback by Jeremy's silence regarding my reaction as I left his embrace that afternoon; it was clear he felt no anger as we went from place to place together. "Where are we headed?" I asked, noticing the motorbike parked in front of the house, complete with two helmets.He mounted the bike and grabbed a helmet, handing the other one to me with a confident smile. "Hop on and trust me," he urged. It was getting late already, with a resigned sigh, I carefully climbed onto the bike and secured the helmet on my head. He gently pulled my hands around his waist, and as he ignited the engine, we sped off to an unknown destination. The fresh breeze whipped against my skin, prompting me to tighten my grip around him, a mix of excitement and uncertainty coursing through me. We pulled up to a sleek building where two men awaited his arrival, and as he engaged with them in fluent French, my curiosity piqued about the nature of their conversation. "How is he

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★ The past two days have been somewhat dull since Jeremy attended his meeting, leaving me at the mansion to address Lauren's questions about dresses and other matters, as well as to respond to emails each morning and receive calls from Carrie. I quickly threw on a button-up shirt and headed downstairs. Although Jeremy and I had been sharing a bed for the past two days, he often returned home so late that I hardly noticed when he came in. With no one else around to tend to the garden, I grabbed the hose and watered the plants myself. "Good morning," I heard Jeremy's voice behind me, and as I turned to face him, I couldn't help but notice the way his black shirt hung open, revealing his sculpted chest and chiseled abs. I swallowed hard, astonished that his office attire concealed such a striking physique. "You don't mind if I stared at yours too," I heard him say, jolting me from my thoughts and forcing me to glance down at my own outfit. A wave of emba
