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.

  • ARRANGED WITH MR CEO    CHAPTER 30

    ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★I paced around the room, hands shaky, lips dry. My heart was pounding so loud, I thought the entire office could hear it. I didn’t want anyone to see me like this, not today. Not after everything. My company had just been sabotaged. Files leaked, projects exposed, clients calling nonstop, investors angry and confused. Everything I had built was crumbling, and I was just... standing there.Lauren stood by me, glued to her phone, doing everything she could to calm the storm. I knew she was trying, I really did, but I couldn’t hear her voice clearly. The noise around me was deafening. My workers were all answering phones, trying to explain what they didn’t understand themselves. Police were walking through the building, inspecting, asking questions. One of them talked to the injured security guard, who was already bandaged up but still looked shaken."Ma'am? Ma'am? Mrs Lightwood?"I blinked and looked up. The head of police was staring at me, waiting for an answer I h

    JEREMY LIGHTWOOD I turned to the other side on the bed, meeting Rosalind sleeping soundly. Yesterday had been a rough day for her as she claims Clara had taken her ring with a pretence of helping her.I tucked her hair behind her ear just to watch her sleep. As if stirred by my touch, her eyes fluttered opened meeting mine with a mix of suprise and lingering frustration.“Good morning”I said to her. She shrugged my hands off her and sat up on the bed with a sigh. “Good morning” She replied. I could sense she was still angered at what had happened yesterday with Clara. “Still pissed?“I asked her as I rolled out of the bed to get ready for work. “You tell me” She retorted.“Why do I feel you're taking this out on me also?“ I questioned as I watched her lay back on the bed with a sigh.“Why do you think I am, it obviously because of you this happened.“ She said with no remorse in her words. “All because of a damn ring you claim Clara stole from you”. I retorted with a bit of anger l

    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
