Arranged Marriage With The CEO Chapter 68
—CHRISTIAN—“ Hello Mrs. Morgeto!! “ I said as soon as she picked up the call. “ Good evening Sir.” Came her amusement laced reply. “ It seems like you already know my intention of calling you.” I asked, heading out of my office.“ Not at all Sir. I can never guess that you want me to take another leave because you want to make dinner for your lovely wife with your own hands.” She said in the utmost serious tone. “ I thought so.” I matched her sarcasm before disconnecting the call and sitting in my car before hitting the road. When I reached the penthouse, It was past five in the evening and the darkness inside was telling me that Jennifer still hadn't returned. I tried to push away the disturbing thoughts and headed to my room to get washed up before coming back to the kitchen and started making the dinner. I was done in an hour and Jennifer wasn't back yet. Sensing it unusual, I pulled out my phone to call Morris but he called me himself. With a frown, I answered the call. “

—JENNIFER—I stood at the entrance and struggled with deciding if I should go inside or not. “ Jennifer!! “ His deep voice came from inside,startling me and I almost jumped in my place. “ Do you want me to come there and drag you inside?! “ His words were enough to end my mental debate and I immediately pushed open the door, stepping inside. I couldn't muster any courage to look up at him or go near him. “ Come here. “ But I guess he was ready to help me because his demand was immediate. Without caring to think further, I walked towards his bed. “ Sit down. “ His other command came and I obeyed silently. “ Now look fucking right in my eyes.” His low growl had me immediately look up. Our eyes met and those black pairs of deep pools, reminded me of the blazing fury in them last night which was for me. I suddenly felt like crying but I kept my emotions in check. “ How are you?? “ He asked and I frowned. “ I should be asking that.” “ You didn't care to ask so I thought… “ He sh

—JENNIFER—My sleep got broken when the main door was opened. I tried to stretch my arms to yawn but found myself unable to do that. Opening my eyes properly, I looked around and found myself in an unfamiliar room. I looked up and Christian's face came into my view. A gasp escaped my lips seeing the position we were sleeping in. My hands around his torso and head on his one arm while his arms were wrapped around my frame, keeping me close. Don't even get me started with our tangled legs. Stifling a screech, I slowly tried to untangle myself from him but he held me even more tightly, instead. " Should we barge in?? Are you guys, like,decent?? " Alex’s voice rang outside of Christian's room and my eyes went wide in horror." What the hell do you mean by 'decent' ?? '' I didn't even realise before the words were out. " We meant if you guys are fucking right now or not?? " And just like that, my sleep jumped out of the window at Cally's words. I could hear them laughing their ass off

“ That's the first time I've seen this bastard shutting up so easily.” Saying that Alex jumped beside me on the couch and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. “ I knew we were gonna be the best of friends. “ He pulled me in a bear hug as I laughed. We both looked back Christian, whose eyes were fixated glaring on Alex's arm around me. The muscle in his jaw was twitching continuously. I cleared my throat and tried to sit back but Alex tightened his hold, making me look up at her. He was watching Christian with an amused smirk. “ I can see the hulk mode activating.” His remark made Christian snap his eyes at his smug face. “ And I can see you losing a limb if you don't get your hands off her in the next three seconds.” It was a full on menacing threat.But Alex didn't seem to care and started laughing maniacally. Even the girls were giggling at the other couch. “ Oh My God Chris!! You weren't like this.” Anya said, through his giggles. “ My girl got her whipped. “ Cally winked at me

—JENNIFER—I kept my eyes fixated on the screen but all my attention was in the presence behind me. I didn't turn to look back. Partly because I wanted to ignore him the same way he did and partly because I didn't have the courage to do so. My eyes might start fucking leaking. Whenever I'm angry at someone close I just start crying during confrontation and I hate it. He cleared his throat but I acted oblivious and kept watching the TV. I heard him moving and my heart ached guessing that he was going back to his room. I sighed, sinking further into the couch when footsteps sounded getting near instead of fading. In a blink, he was standing before me, hovering over me. My breath got hitched as my gaze travelled up from his legs to his face and then stopped at those black dark pools. He raised his eyebrows in question. I didn't answer, instead, I got up and he stepped back to give me a space to stand. He was waiting for me to talk but I turned around and walked into my room before s

—JENNIFER—I sat on the kitchen counter as usual as he made dinner. My eyes were enjoying his gorgeous sight in front of me. He suddenly looked up from the frying pan and I immediately turned my face away. Damn!! How many more times I'll get myself caught staring at him, that too by him. Clearing my throat, I again looked back towards him, his focus was back to cooking now. “ So, why were you actually avoiding me?? “ He turned to face me, leaning his hip on the counter. “ I was not avoiding you, Princess!! I was just busy.” “ You are always busy. But it never happened that you couldn't show your face for two damn days.” I narrowed my eyes on him. “ Yeah. Actually, there was some problem in the office that needed my full attention and I couldn't afford to get distracted by a certain pair of brown eyes until I was assured that the issue was fixed.” He winked at the last part, making my cheeks go red at his choic

—JENNIFER—He pounced on me the next second, capturing my lips while his hands kept mine locked behind me. I struggled to get my hands free from his hold. I wanted to touch him. My hands ached to feel him, but he tightened his hold around them. Getting desperate, I bit on his lip, hard and he groaned, leaving my hands and reaching out to hold my face. “ Feasty!! I didn't care for his remark and reached for the buttons of his shirt. His chest rumbled with a chuckle as I desperately opened them, breaking them before pushing it over his shoulders. His tanned, muscular chest came into my view leaving me mesmerised. “ Like what you see, princess?? “ He whispered in my ear as I admired the view. I answered with a kiss on his bare chest which had him push himself into me again. I moaned at the invasion of his hard length between my thighs and I pushed him closer by tightening my legs around his waist. He ground as I

—CHRISTIAN—Though I don't like taking rest but thinking about spending time with Jennifer, I made an exception for at least one day. She was taking care of everything for me. My food, medication, even didn't let me use my laptop. Everything was going fine, we even had a moment and I was planning on to confessing my feelings for her at night but I couldn't do that because of Alex, Anya and Cally visiting us and when they left, James called me only to inform that our new project file is missing. I was beyond raging. Even snapped at Jennifer out of stress. I wanted to apologise but, I was busy whole night rechecking the profiles of every single employe with my trusted team and Alex. The file was found the next morning and that too in my office locker. It was suspicious. But being it written in a codded language, It would have taken them to at least thirty six hours to decode it. And I knew that whoever stole it was close enough to

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
Arranged Marriage With The CEO CHAPTER 199
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
