Accidentally Contracted To The Billionaire CEO Chapter 056
Ivy's POV Liam flashes a wicked grin, the gun's muzzle pressed against my forehead. “Cómputo a la baja, Conejito.” I scrunch up. In response, Liam tilts his head to the side, a half-smile playing on his lips. “Means I'm counting down, bunny. Five seconds..." My mind's doing the 100 meter dash right about now, trying to find a way out of this mess. “You still thinking? There's only one way out.” Inches from my face, he holds up my cellphone." Contact Brielle. Have her meet you at the corner of Main and Elm at midnight. That's all." “No. I won't do it.” I shake my head fiercely. “No way I'm calling her.” One thing's for sure: Liam's a master manipulator. Can't trust him as far as I can throw him. What if calling Brielle seals her fate? If he goes and hurts Brielle, or worse, kills her? I have no clue what their sick plan is. I already failed her once, and the guilt's eating me alive. But maybe, just maybe, this is my chance to make it right. Liam lowers the gun, his

Brielle's POV. The party's winding down. Guests are filtering out, and Drey's still exchanging goodbyes with the stragglers. But I know we're leaving soon — he's not one for late nights. He taps his earpiece, and I recognize the subtle gesture. He's speaking to Paul. "Prepare the car for departure. My wife and I will be leaving in ten minutes." His words send a flutter through my chest. Wife. I still get butterflies hearing him say it. Andrei pauses, his tone shifting from crisp to curt. “Not tonight. Let's catch up on business tomorrow.” His words trail off, and I sense a hint of frustration. Whatever “it” is, Andrei's clearly not eager to delve into it tonight. He angles his wrist, checking the hour, “we'll discuss over coffee tomorrow.” I watch him, studying the lines of his face, the tension in his jaw. His eyes meet mine, and for a moment, everything else fades away. “Ready to head home?” he asks, his voice softer now. I nod, smiling. “Whenever you are.” With that, Andrei

Brielle's POV. Edna's silence is deafening. Since walking in on Andrei and me kissing, she's said nothing. No lectures, no questions, no reactions. Whenever I try to meet her gaze, she's conveniently occupied. Is she avoiding me? Avoiding the conversation? Her evasiveness fuels my anxiety. Did she already confide in Helen or Mom? I know I made a promise to them, but my heart… It won't listen and trying to shake off my feelings proves impossible. *** “C'mon, Brielle eat something. You've been starving yourself since last night. Now, Andrei told me to make sure you don't skip meals, and I'm not going to let him down.” No denying Edna's kindness; she's a sweetheart through and through. I take a deep breath, my hands fiddling nervously with my napkin as I meet Edna's eyes. “Edna, we need to talk… about last night. What you saw between Andrei and me.” She raises an eyebrow, a sly smile spreading across her face. “You two are married, Brielle. Kissing is perfectly acceptable – encou

Andrei's POV. “Regrettably, the acquisition has stalled. We were on the cusp of finalizing the purchase of the Carter industry's shell with all key components in place. However, the sellers unexpectedly withdrew from the negotiations.” I hear the news and my jaw clenches, muscles tensing with frustration. I scan the paperwork, my dissatisfaction growing. Everything appears flawless, meticulous. “What's their justification for pulling out?” I ask Paul, “No explanation whatsoever. They simply withdrew without justification.” I shouldn't be dealing with this nonsense. Liam's theft is clear-cut. He leveraged my stolen shares to launch his own company. Why must I navigate this labyrinthine process to retrieve my rightful property? “Paul, I believe it's time to escalate this matter. Involving the authorities is our best course of action. Assemble our legal team and prepare for a comprehensive counterattack. We'll pursue all available avenues to protect our interests and hold Liam

Brielle's POV “Trading champagne toast for coffee breaks, a 9 to 5 maybe?” Andrei raises an eyebrow intrigued, I nod contemplating, his expression turns thoughtful, “I admire your desire to change. What sparked this?” “Just feeling unfulfilled I guess.” “Carter Industries is always open for you, Brielle. It could be a VP position, or a marketing role, or a board membership – whatever you desire.” I know Eva's doing her sabbatical at Carter Industries, and frankly, I want no part in the drama that comes with it. I'm trying to escape the trophy wife trap, not get sucked into more dysfunction. Why did Andrei even mention Carter Industries? Does he not get it? I want to start fresh, not navigate Eva's manipulations. I swear, that woman has a radar for vulnerable moments. She'll sense my uncertainty and pounce. I've had enough of her condescending smiles and veiled insults. Andrei thinks I'm just being stubborn, but he has no idea what it's like to be in my shoes. Eva's prese

Ivy's POV. “Last time I showed up at the Carter industries, I had to put sunglasses on. Courtesy of that little bitch sitting right there.” Eva points at me. My eyes narrow, but I manage to maintain an outward cool, smirking as I mentally stick my tongue out at her. “You're lucky Liam intervened,” I sneer. “Otherwise, I would've gouged out both your eyes. Let's see if you'll still have targets to aim for next time.” The moment the flashlight's beam dances across Eva's swollen eye, I lean back, content to let the nurse do her thing. I'm no doctor, but even I can tell that thing's more messed up than it looks. The nurse's face screws up, probably wondering how to patch up that mess. “Alright, let’s get you fixed up,” she says with the professional grace of someone who's seen much worse. “Fixing that eye, Mariah?” I bark, incredulous. “I took it out for a good reason. That witch deserved every bit of it.” I fix Eva with a glare. She responds in kind. Mariah, caught in the middl

Brielle's POV Andrei holds me close, his rhythmic heartbeat calming my fears as he whispers, “I know this seems crazy, Brielle, but trust me – it's necessary.” Trust. Such a fragile thing. Easily broken, hard to repair. But what's love without trust? I think that's what I've been missing – faith in Andrei, in us. Time to take a leap of faith. This feels scary, but also…liberating. Like I'm finally letting go of all the doubts and fears. Accepting Eva back into the family has left me uncertain. I don't want to be selfish, but if Andrei has a child with her, I worry about the dynamics… “Starving, are you?” Andrei inquires, his brow furrowed. I nod. “I'll bring dinner. You bring… your appetite.” “And my willingness to tolerate your cooking.” I quip. Why am I already assuming he's a bad cook? Never seen him in the kitchen, never tasted his food… but something about that grin makes me think “culinary catastrophe.” For some reason, I’m already convinced he’s gonna burn d

Brielle's POV Andrei's intense stare pins me. “You seem uneasy, Brielle What's wrong?” My eyes dart away, taking in the breathtaking view. The rolling hills, lit up by the moon, are like a velvet painting come to life, and the Carter estate glows like a lantern against the dark backdrop. Beautiful scenery, but I'm getting bad juju. Something's off, and it's freaking me out. Andrei's gaze snaps back to mine, his eyes narrowing. “Don't conceal your fears, let me know if something's amiss.” His hand slips behind the hem of his coat, his fingers vanishing from view as though he were tucking something away within its folds. It’s a discreet movement, almost imperceptible, but there’s an undeniable weight to it. I shrug, eyes still scanning the surroundings. “Nothing, Andrei. Just paranoia.” His eyes, dark and intense, bore into mine, questioning my sincerity. I nod, trying to convince myself more than him. “Yeah, I'm good.” “Sure?” “Honestly, it's just a weird feeling I have,” I

Brielle's POV I might be a fool for loving Andrei, but what can I say? I love him. love him like a starving man loves a feast, like a sailor loves the sea. And that scares me because I'm not sure I can love anyone else like that. And Every time he breaks my heart, it feels like a piece of me dies, like a tiny spark of hope is extinguished forever. Early hours of this morning, I'd opened the door to a special delivery of heartbreak. I expected a fun, quirky surprise. But oh no, fate's got a twisted sense of humor, and the contents are more stomach-churning than a rotten egg salad sandwich. Inside the mysterious package, I find a photo album, complete with snapshots of Andrei and his new sidepiece, mugging for the camera like they were the happiest couple alive. And by 'happiest couple alive,' I mean they were tongue-deep in each other's faces. The more I stare at these pictures, the angrier I get. It's like staring into the fiery pits of hell, and I'm ready to throw a tan

Andrei's POV When I look into Brielle's eyes, I see forever. This crazy, beautiful blue that just makes me feel alive. My heart's all aflutter, like a bird in a hurricane. I'm pretty sure I'm not dying or anything… although it feels like it. Must be love… or a heart attack. I'm staring into her eyes, and I swear, there's something off. A tiny ripple in the calm waters. But before I can put my finger on it, she's turning around, and She's just… walking away. No words, no nothing. Just her back, getting farther and farther away. Just what I needed to complete my evening: a healthy dose of rejection and a strong sense of self-doubt. “You're just gonna ditch me like yesterday's trash?” I ask, trying to sound cool, but really, I'm just dying inside. “One minute we're fine, the next you're walking away. What am I supposed to do? Just stand here and watch you disappear?” She hesitates, one foot on the threshold, as if unsure whether to flee or surrender. The pause is a vulnerable,

Andrei's POV Odessa's advice is simple and to the point: don't listen to Jeremy's bullshit. Don't fall for his lies. Don't take the blame for something he did. That's what she's trying to drill into my skull. If I take the rap, I'd be orchestrating a spectacular downfall — complete with a cameo appearance by the Grim Reaper, a supporting role by Regret, and a grand finale of Lifetime Imprisonment. I'm not going down that path, no way, no how. I've got a family, a legacy, a son who looks up to me like I'm some kind of superhero. And that's what I have to be, not some sacrificial lamb to appease the false gods of justice. I'm no martyr. I'm not going to roll over and play dead just to appease the system, to keep the peace. That's not who I am. Then again, The thought of Paul getting railroaded is eating away at me. His family's counting on him, and if he goes down, they'll be the ones who suffer. I'm caught in a tug-of-war between my heart and my head, with each side pulli

Andrei's POV The Carter Cabinery sits in the foothills, a haven of solitude and seclusion. It's a sprawling structure of timber and stone, its rough-hewn beams and sloping roof blending seamlessly into the forest landscape, as if it had grown there. My great-grandfather built this place with his own two hands. And my father, he added to it, made it into something more. Five years old. That's when the darkness crept in. That's when my life changed, irrevocably, forever. Mom died. Just like that. One minute she was there, the light of my world, the other half of my heartbeat, and the next…gone. Visits to the cabin were always a treat. I remember the smell of my grandfather's pipe, the way he'd tell stories of his adventures in the woods. I remember the sound of my dad's laughter, the way he'd spin me around in circles, making me dizzy with delight. It was during those idyllic summers spent here that I first met Jeremy. Dad had adopted him, but he hung out with grandpa for a

Andrei's POV. “You'd better be listening, Carter. I'm only going to say this one time_” With a swift jab of my finger, I end the call, silencing the toxic tirade that had been polluting my airwaves. The smug voice, the arrogant demands, the sickening knowledge—all of it, silenced. My feet hit the floor, my coat a blur of black as I snatch it up. I'm out the door, abandoning the suffocating atmosphere of my study. Brielle’s eyes are burning holes in my back. She’s watching me, waiting for an explanation, a sign that everything is okay. I can’t give it to her. Can’t face her, can’t look her in the eye. I'm paralyzed, unable to face the devastation I've caused. Beholding the mayhem is like seeing a wildfire rage out of control. Maybe our love's the fuel that's feeding the flames — time to starve the fire and walk away, leaving behind the only thing that’s ever made me feel alive. I hear her sobbing. It’s a knife to the heart, twisting and turning, carving out a piece of me with

Andrei's POV. I channel my inner bedtime butler, complete with a fancy tuck-and-pull motion. I give Brielle the works: extra-fluffy pillow, soothing pat on the head, and a blanket pulled up to her chin because clearly, I've been demoted to bedtime nanny. 3:59 am: the time it takes for her sleep-deprived brain to finally surrender to the sandman, leaving me to stand guard, listening to the symphony of her snores… She's out cold, a sleeping beauty with a face that's equal parts adorable and alluring. Those luscious lashes, the gentle curve of her lips, the soft tangle of her hair… The vibration in my pocket is a cold dose of reality, a reminder that the clock is ticking. I've been waiting for this call, but the unknown variables are what's got me on edge. I step into the hallway, phone glued to my ear. My eyes scan the shadows, my senses on overdrive, “I'm listening,” “Carter, you're going all-in. You're gonna transfer your assets to me. And I ain't talking pennies here. Yo

Brielle's POV Hawaii's supposed to be a relaxing vacation, for my parents, but for me, it's turning into a never-ending cycle of worry. Mom's phone keeps going straight to voicemail. No calls, no texts, no 'Aloha, darling!' selfies. It's like a full moon, a red sky at dawn, a black cat crossing your path—you just know something's up. I'm phone-stalking, waiting for her call to light up the screen… but it's just not happening. I force down the lump in my throat and head to the kitchen for a glass of water. My nerves are fried, and I'm getting the shakes. I glance at the clock, hoping to distract myself from the tremors in my hands. 3am. Still awake. Still anxious. 'Mom, Dad, just give me a sign of life. I'm starting to picture you being brainwashed by a group of coconut-wielding, hula-dancing fanatics_' My muttered curse is accompanied by a deep, frustrated breath. Andrei's voice cuts through my reverie, and I turn to see him standing in the doorway, a mixture of amusement an

Jeremy's POV Enter Jones. Don't let his age fool you – the man's a certified brainiac. He settles in, and We get down to brass tacks, discussing the details. “I'm cutting ties with Andrei for good and taking full control of the two companies I snatched from him. I'm consolidating my ownership with a vertical integration strategy, aiming for a 100% stake with zero ties to the Carter empire. I'm expecting Andrei to try rallying his allies or attempting a hostile takeover, but I'm ready. I've got my lawyer drafting a bulletproof shareholder agreement and setting up a poison pill strategy to block any takeover attempts.” The old man listens intently, demonstrating a clear grasp of the situation. He takes meticulous notes as I outline my plan. “I'll be darned, Jeremy. You're one of those 'new-fangled' thinkers, aren't ya? I swear, you're so smart, you make me feel like I just fell off the turnip truck.” A lopsided grin spreads across my face, oozing self-assurance. I've got all th

Jeremy's POV All nonsense put aside, I slam the map onto the table, “Eyes on me,” I bark, “I don’t have time for screw-ups. “ My hand jabs into the tabletop, each thrust an exclamation point to punctuate the severity of the situation. These morons can be as dumb as a box of rocks sometimes, and the effort it takes to get through to them has my temper running hotter than a desert sun. '“At 0200 hours, the target will land at the Kahului Airport, Maui. The airport is primarily a regional hub, with limited security, which should make our operation smoother than a freshly ironed aloha shirt." I inform my crew, their faces intent as they listen to my debriefing. “Our scouts will monitor the flight’s arrival, keeping a constant line of sight on the target as they exit the plane and enter their transportation. We’ll have an unmarked SUV parked nearby, with the windows blacked out to prevent recognition. The driver will be wear a chauffeur's uniform, his ID on display for anyone wh
