Arranged Marriage With The CEO Chapter 115
—CHRISTIAN—I had literally been sulking all day for the first time in my life. And for what?? Because my wife has decided to go and stay with her parents for some days. I might sound that I'm overeating but the way this mere thought has been haunting me, I can't even explain. I almost had a mini heart attack when she said that she'll go for at least two or three weeks, but it's not soothing at all to let her stay away from me for even two or three days. So I decided the best I could do in this situation. I will go with her. Yes. I don't care if anyone is gonna laugh at me for behaving like a lovesick puppy that I am.After talking with the doctor and signing the discharge papers, I headed back to the room where Jennifer's father was staying. Jennifer stayed back with the doctor to understand the medical care for Mr. Wingsley at home while I headed to tell him that he's free to go now. As soon as I reached near the door, my feet went frozen hearing what he was talking with Mrs. W

—CHRISTIAN—She stared at me while I stood there, shell shocked like a statue, thinking how to explain things to her. “ How can you do this, Christian?? How can you fucking hide it from me??” She glared at me with disbelief and stalked closer, stopping in front of me.“ I-... J-Jennifer…” I stuttered, because I didn't know how to explain everything to her. My heart sunk deeper at the mere thought of her tears. I was still wishing if anyhow she hadn't actually heard the conversation but her next words broke my hopes. “ How can you just not tell me the reason for his heart attack?” She asked again. “ Even I didn't know it before. I just- “ Really?? But the doctor said she told you last night already that this happened because of stress.” She huffed, cutting me off. “ Yes.. But-.. Wait. What??” I stopped, processing her full sentence and frowned.“ Yes. She said she already informed you about this.” “ Oh. Yes. She did.” I breathed out, sighing in relief. “ Then why didn't you tell

—JENNIFER—“ Stop acting like a six year old dad.” I huffed, stuffing the glass of water in his hand as he whined. “ Really?? You are acting very mature. Do one thing, you eat them instead of me.” He narrowed his eyes back at me, stubbornly. “ Dad, if you eat them in the next five seconds, I'll get you your favourite cheesecake.” I offered. He snapped his eyes up at me and stared, contemplating for two long seconds. “ Fine.” He huffed before stuffing all the three tablets at once in his mouth and gulped down the glass of water in one go. I stood there, trying to supress my laugh while he made faces. “Good boy.” I grinned at him. That's when the doorbell rang and headed out to take the door. I was in the living area when the bell rang again. “ Wait a goddamn second man.” I huffed, racing towards the door. The bell rang again when I was about to grab the handle. “ Who the heck is this on pins and needle-...??” I huffed before opening the door but stopped in mid seeing the pers

—JENNIFER—“ What ‘truth’ exactly?? “ We looked up to find Dad coming down with Christian supporting him. “ That Christian can't stay away from Jennifer.” Mom said, shrugging and I hid my face with my hand, trying to go invisible. Christian cleared his throat uncomfortably as he made Dad sit down on the chair. “ It's not his fault if my daughter is so lovely.” Dad passed me a big smile making me shy away. The dinner passed with Dad and Christian talking about their male stuff while mom and I gossip about our favourite TV show. After making Dad eat his medicine, I headed back to my room with my heart filled with thrill, knowing that Christian was waiting for me. But when I entered my room, it was empty. I frowned but the next moment, I felt a pair of arms sneak around my waist. A smile creeped up to my lips as a familiar cologne hit my lungs when Christian hugged me from behind.I rested my head back to his shoulder as his warm breaths touched my neck. “ I missed you.” He whispe

—JENNIFER—Even after lots of protest from Mom and Dad, Christian arranged a nurse for Dad to take care of him twenty four seven. It was so heartwarming, seeing him having concern for Dad and treating him like his own.So after Christian left for his office, Mom and I decided to go grocery shopping since Dad wasn't alone now. We were done in about an hour and decided to visit the nearest cafe for the coffee. “ Are you sure we aren't forgetting anything?” Mom asked, sitting on the chair while her head was totally into the grocery bags placed into the car. “ Arghh, Mom!! Do you want it in written that we bought every damn thing that you wanted?” I grumbled, tired of her asking the question constantly. “ Yeah. Fine. No need to get annoyed.” She rolled her eyes as the waitress approached us to take our orders. “ One second.” Holding up a finger to her, I turned back. “Do you really need to continue this?” I asked Morris who was sitting two tables away from us, holding up a magazine, p

—JENNIFER—“ I mean, I'm your mother's old friend.” She suddenly grinned up at me. I turned to face mom. An uncomfortable smile appeared on her face as she looked at Catherine. “ Is she??” I asked, narrowing my eyes at mom. “ Yes.” She breathed out before standing up and Catherine gave her big smile as she hugged mom. I shook my head at the odd situation as they broke apart. “ It's been a long time, Nancy.” Catherine said and nodded quietly. “ Yes. I-It's good to see you again.” Mom replied before Catherine turned to face me. “ Look at you!! You have grown up into a beautiful woman now.” She smiled at me and I stood up with an hesitant smile. “ But I don't remember you.” I chuckled, shrugging. “ You were this small when I last saw you.” She made a gesture with both her hands to describe my size and laughed. “ It's nice to meet you… um..??” I trailed off not knowing how I should address her. “ Call me Catherine.” She smiled again, pulling me into a hug. “ Nice to meet you,

—JENNIFER—Christian came home after some time of Cally's leave. I was so engrossed in thinking about the possibilities of the Catherine, Cally told me about and the Catherine that met us in the cafe being the same person that I didn't even realise when he entered into the room. He came and stood behind me while I sat in front of the mirror brushing my hair, lost deep in thoughts. “ What has got you so lost, Princess?” I snapped up, surprised when Christian bent down and kissed my cheek before looking up at me. “ Hey!” My lips stretched up in a smile as he stood bending, behind me with his hands on both my shoulders.“ Is everything alright?” He asked, concerned. “ Yes. A lot.” I said, pushing his hands away and standing up to face him. He frowned, waiting for me to continue. “ First, you are ten minutes late and second,... These people don't have a single chocolate bar in their house.” I huffed, flipping the topic completely. I let the matter go away thinking that If there was

—JENNIFER—A deadly silence prevailed on the dinner table as the sudden tension replaced our appetite. A whole minute passed but no one uttered a single word. I slowly looked up from my plate to Christian and found him staring at me, frozen in his seat. I bit my inner cheek, going nervous under his stare. “ I-I’ll go get the desert.” Mom cleared her throat quietly and stood up to ease the tension. “ Dad, care to explain?” Anya spoke up, demanding an explanation from her father. “ I'm sorry, Jennifer.” I looked up at Matthew as he spoke up. Guilt was visible in his eyes. “ I'm really sorry for how I forced you. But I'm not sorry for what I did.” He sighed, looking at Christian. His stare turned into disbelief at his father's words. “ Dad?” Anya protested in disbelief. “ If this is the outcome, why would I be sorry for what I did?” He said, gesturing between me and Christian. “ I could see this from a mile away. So no, I'm not sorry about it.” Mathhew shrugged nonchalantly. “

Arranged Marriage With The CEO CHAPTER 200
JENNIFER The next few days were spent with everyone celebrating my memory regaining and for our soon to be born child. Mom and Dad disclosed the whole truth about Catherine and I was just happy that they at least told me whatever it was. I was upset for being lied to but never angry. It eases their tension and we are back to normal. I looked at the clock and then towards the main door. With a sigh filled with disappointment, I had just turned back when the click of the door opening had me turning back again only to see my husband dearest entering with a bag in his hand. “You’re home.” I exclaimed, with a relieved smile while mentally thanking God. At first glance, he looked the same as when he’d left— black shirt, black pants, hauntingly beautiful face—but a closer look revealed the quiet storm brewing in his eyes. “You asked me to come home.” He watched, body still but gaze burning like an open flame, as I closed the distance between us. “So here I am.” His rough velvet

JENNIFER When I opened my eyes, my head felt heavy. It was hurting like someone had crushed it under a car wheel. With a wince of pain, I opened my eyes and the first thing I landed my eyes on was a pair of black eyes. Two moments of unblinking stare into those worry filled eyes before I took a sigh of relief. “ Christian!” I called out his name in my weak and hazy voice and saw him practically relaxing. As if a burden was taken away from her chest. “ Princess! You are awake.” His voice was filled with relief. “ What do you think?” I joked at his obvious question. A small sigh left his lips before a soft smile appeared as he bent down to kiss my forehead. “ You scared the shit out of me.” He murmured, straightening back. “ What? I don't remember anything?” I asked and he froze in his place. “ You don't remember anything?” He asked, repeating my words and emphasised on the last word. Now it was my turn to freeze in my place. I paused and all the events of the past
Arranged Marriage With The CEO CHAPTER 198
CHRISTIAN “Hello, Raphael.” I examined Jennifer’s stalker, who was strung up with heavy cuffs locking his arms and legs into a vertical spread- eagle position. Nails pinned his palms to the wall behind them, while black and blue bruises mottled his body like an obscene piece of abstract art. We were in the warehouse I’d bought for this specific purpose. Remote, soundproofed, and guarded enough that an ant couldn’t crawl across the floor without me knowing. Not all of my guys were okay with dirty work, which was fine. I only needed a few who were, and they’d done their job prepping the bastard for me. I couldn’t have him waiting too comfortably while I tended to Jennifer. My gaze flicked to the floor. A small pool of blood stained the smooth grey concrete. That was also fine. It will grow soon enough. Raphael’s face was so beaten up it was unrecognisable, but the heat of his glare made me smile. He had a bit of fight left in him. Good. That would make our session so much m
Arranged Marriage With The CEO CHAPTER 197
JENNIFER I slept in until almost noon the next day. It was the latest I’d ever woken up, but the previous day’s events had taken their toll. Even after a solid sixteen hours of rest, fogginess clouded my brain as I walked to the kitchen. Being drugged and kidnapped. Finding out my husband dearest has a brother about which I still have to ask him, Nearly dying, then getting rescued by Christian, and sort of/kind of making up with him. I’d had time to process, so it was easier to wrap my head around what happened, but yesterday was so surreal I still felt like I was walking on the edge of a dream. It was Monday, so I’d expected Christian to be at work. But when I entered the sun-splashed kitchen, I found him standing by the espresso machine, dressed in a black shirt and pants instead of his usual suit. I blinked with surprise. “You’re here.” I asked and he turned back swiftly as if pulled back harshly from another world. I guess I disturbed his thoughts. “It is my house,” he s
Arranged Marriage With The CEO CHAPTER 196
CHRISTIAN She’s here. She’s safe. I repeated the words in my head as I held Jennifer tight. Tiny shivers rippled through her body, and even though she was almost as tall as me, she felt fragile. Breakable. Fierce protectiveness burned in my chest. “It’s all right, princess,” I murmured. “You’re okay. You’re safe.” She buried her face deeper in my neck, her soft sobs twisting my heart like a wrung-out rag. Her hold on me felt like I was the only trustable and safe place for her. It felt like the old times, before her accident. It felt like I was holding her again for the first time in years, but this wasn’t how I’d wanted it to be. Not with her bruised, hurt, and terrified. Something struck my mind and my one hand automatically moved towards her belly. I felt my heart clenching in my chest at the thought of any possible harm to our child. The relief I’d felt at seeing her alive gave way to renewed rage. My cold gaze found Rapheal over Jennifer’s shoulder. He should pray t
Arranged Marriage With The CEO CHAPTER 195
Jennifer Lights washed across my vision at the force of the impact, but I didn’t have time to waste. I slammed my wrists down as hard as I could behind me until the frayed rope snapped against the protrusion. Luckily, Raphael hadn’t tied my legs, and I stumbled to the door. I almost made it before strong hands yanked me back. I hit the floor with a thud. Raphael pinned me to the ground and manacled my wrists above my head. “Let go of me!” I struggled against his hold. “You’re mine,” he said calmly, like we were at a picnic in the park and he wasn’t holding me hostage. “It’ll be so much easier if you give in, Jennifer. I don’t want to hurt you.” I couldn’t keep struggling forever. My energy was already fading, my muscles sore and my thoughts jumbled with panic. I turned my head a fraction to the right, and my breath hitched when I saw my purse lying a few feet away. My taser. I always kept it on me because since Christian forced me to do it. If I could only reach it… Raphae
Arranged Marriage With The CEO CHAPTER 194
JENNIFER A prickle of sensation dragged me from the dark, murky wells of unconsciousness. It started as a tingle in my fingers and toes. Then it was the hard press of wood beneath my thighs. Finally, it was the rough abrasion of ropes around my wrists and a pounding pain behind my eyes. I didn’t know what was going on. All I knew was, it hurt, and my throat was dry, and my head throbbed like someone had shoved a jackhammer or ten in there. Concrete anchors dragged down my lids. The darkness wasn’t soft and gentle like the gradual drift to sleep. It was endless and menacing, like the weight of the earth after being buried alive. I forced my lungs to expand past my rising panic. Breathe. Think. What happened? I struggled to sort through the day’s events. I remembered meeting my friends at the cafe. Morris running to the restroom. Nausea, dizziness, stumbling out for air…and the cold press of a gun against my ribcage. A voice, then blackness. Oh God. I’d been kidnapped. Th
Arranged Marriage With The CEO CHAPTER 193
JENNIFER A sharp stab of concern pulled my brows together. “Do you need to sit down? You don’t look so good.” Actually, I didn’t feel great either. My usual lethargy intensified and tugged at my limbs and eyelids. Morris’ face swam before me until I blinked the blurriness away. “Yes, I”—he gripped the edge of the table. “I”— his face turned ghostly white before flushing the crimson. “Stay here. I’ll be right back.” He bolted toward the bathroom. The door slammed shut. A second later, I heard the faint but unmistakable sound of vomiting. My own stomach twisted at the noise. I hoped we hadn’t gotten food poisoning, but something was clearly wrong. My vision blurred again. This time, blinking didn’t help. I stood, hoping the change in altitude would clear my head, but an instant wave of dizziness forced me back into my seat. What is going on? I’d only had tea and a pastry. Could you even get food poisoning from tea and pastries? Black dots danced in front of my eyes, and panic
Arranged Marriage With The CEO CHAPTER 192
—JENNIFER— As soon as our mouths collided, I felt colours bursting behind my eyelids, making them shut up automatically. Christian went frozen at my unexpected stunt and couldn't even move for a long moment. For myself, I was in shock about how the mouth of this cold man could be so warm and soft. I didn't give it any thought so I was as stunned as him at my own action and couldn't even move out of shock until I felt his hands coming up to grab my waist and he pulled me into himself. My body felt burns and chills at the same time where his fingers were digging into my skin in a firm but not painful hold. Suddenly I was too conscious about the things that his touch was making me feel. The pause we both took out of shock had me thinking for a moment that he would pull back but instead, he tilted his mouth and deepened the kiss with a sudden force that I almost lost my step. A gasp of shock couldn't find a place to escape me because of the way his mouth was perfectly occupying m
