Morgan's point of view

I could not let her leave. Not like this. Something inside me twisted painfully when I saw Marissa and Glow fighting.

I was furious, but for reasons I could not quite place. Seeing the anguish in her eyes and the bruises on her body... it did something to me. It hurt in ways I was not ready to admit.

I cleared my throat and approached her. “I will take you to the hospital,” I whispered, my voice low.

She pulled her arm away, her eyes filled with exhaustion and defiance. “I do not need your help, Morgan. I do not need your pity.”

I pulled her closer to the door, I did not want Glow to hear our conversation.

“This is not about pity. We need to make sure the baby is okay.” I said, clenching my jaw, struggling to remain patient.

For a moment, she froze. Her eyes softened, then hardened again as she let out a bitter laugh. “Our baby? Now it’s our baby?” Her voice cracked. “You knew I was carrying your child, and yet you made me cook for you just so you could

    Marrissa's point of view He was so close that I could feel his breath brushing against my lips. The air between us was filled with something raw, something I could not name but could feel deep in my chest. His dark eyes roamed from my eyes down to my lips, lingering there for a moment before meeting my gaze again. Then he leaned in closer, his lips brushing against the curve of my ear as he whispered, his voice was low, rough, and devastatingly hot.“Please, kiss me.”My body responded immediately, as though it were a puppet and his voice the strings. My nipples tightened under the fabric of my shirt, and a wave of heat flowed through me, pooling low in my belly. My body screamed at me to close the space between us, to give in, to stop thinking entirely. I wanted this—I craved for his touch, for his caress ,for his huge penis digging deep into me. God Marrissa,is this you? My inner voice asked. Well, it was not jjust me. It was my hormones, definitely my pregnancy cravings had tur

    Farrow’s point of view “My darling Glow!” I exclaimed, stretching my arms wide, feeling her warmth as she stepped toward me. Her face, however, stopped me cold. The smile I had prepared slide from my lips as I looked at the bruise blooming on her cheek, the faint cut at the corner of her mouth. Her hair was disheveled, and she moved like she was in painI grabbed her chin, tilting her head left and right, my voice rising with concern laced in irritation. “What the hell happened to you?” Glow’s eyes darkened, anger flashing in their depths. “It’s that stupid Marrissa,” she hissed, her voice trembling with barely suppressed fury. I stepped back, crossing my arms, my eyes darker as her words sank in. “What? Marrissa did this to you?” My lips curled in disgust at the thought. “Tell me you did worse to her, Glow. Tell me you did not let her get away with it.” Glow’s lips curled into a defiant smile, through her eyes betrayed her frustration. “Of course, I did more damage to her

  • Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees    My crushed ego

    Morgan's point of view Marrissa punctured my ego the moment she walked out of the bathroom, leaving me sour and hard. I lay in bed, my fists clenched, staring at the ceiling as her words replayed in my head, taunting me.How could you be so weak, Morgan? I thought bitterly. How could I let her insult me like that?My frustration only deepened when I glanced down at myself, still aroused despite the humiliation. It was pathetic, and I hated myself for it. It’s probably because I have not been with anyone recently, I reasoned. That’s all this is—a lack of release.But thinking about it did not help. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. Marrissa’s stupid look as she walked away, her confidence fueled my irritation. I turned over on the bed, restless and burning with frustration.Sleep was out of the question. I sighed heavily and swung my legs over the side of the bed. I needed a distraction, something to pull me out of this cycle of anger and my desire.I took out my laptop,

  • Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees    Lunch Date with Mr Thornhill

    Marrissa's point of view The morning had not even started, but somehow, I had managed to make a complete fool of myself before the day had even properly begun. I sighed heavily, setting my coffee cup down with more force than I had intended. “God, Marrissa, you are such a big fool!” I whisper under my breath. How could I let myself get caught like that? And the defense I came up with? Utter rubbish. My inner voice was not going to let me live this one down.It had all started when I woke up and rolled over to see Morgan lying next to me. He looked… peaceful. A total contrast to his usual self—no scowling, no sharp retorts, just a man lost in whatever dreams his subconscious conjured up. I could not help but stare. I wondered what he had been like as a boy. Was he ever sweet, ever innocent? Did someone love him before life hardened him into the insufferable person I knew now?My thoughts drifted to my baby. I wished—hoped—he or she would take after Morgan in looks because, objectivel

  • Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees    Ticket to Luxury

    Marrissa's point of view I stared at the card in my hand, the sleek black rectangle shining in the light. I could not believe it. This… this was like a ticket to luxury. To everything most people dream about. Yet, as I held it, it felt strange—too heavy for what it was supposed to be. I did not agree to marry Morgan just because of the Thornhills’ money or their status. I was not that kind of person, and I hated the thought of anyone, even Farrow or Morgan, assuming that about me. I was not someone influenced by shiny things I could not afford. “Mama raised me better than that,” I whispered.Still, a voice in my head whispered persistently, *Marrissa, this is not eljust about you. It’s for your child.*I closed my eyes for a second, trying to push down the conflict rising in my chest. As much as I wanted to be better than this, better than letting someone like Mr. Thornhill buy me, the truth was harder to ignore. My child deserved the world, and sometimes the world demanded sacrific

  • Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees    Shopping the luxury way

    Marrissa's point of view It was another slow, boring morning at Morgan’s house. Staying there was becoming suffocating, it was more like a cage than a home, and that made me so restless. So, I made the decision to go to work—not because Morgan wanted me to, but simply because I could not stand wasting another day sitting in his over-decorated house.As soon as I entered the company,I saw Glow. She was strolling into the company like she was on a runway, wearing a ridiculously skimpy dress that made her look like she was advertising for something… illicit. I did not even bother acknowledging her existence. I walked past her as though she were invisible. "Typical Glow," I thought. She scoffed loudly as I passed, her attempt at getting a reaction failed woefully. I only laughed instead, quietly to myself. I was not in the mood for unnecessary drama. Not today. Still, the sight of her irritated me. "Who dresses like that on a weekday morning, to work,for that matter?" I thought, sh

  • Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees    Perfectly every arrangement

    Marrissa's point of view I felt so relieved and happy the moment I stepped into the house, and realized Morgan was not back yet. I danced my way to my side of the closet, carefully placing the items I bought inside.I smiled, imagining the shock that will be on their faces when I walk in with Mr Thornhill.The very thought of Morgan or Glow finding out about my plan before then sent a shiver down my spine. They must never know. Not ever. I tucked the dress into the back of the closet, behind a row of old coats Morgan would not even glance at. Satisfied that it was safely hidden, I headed to the bathroom to freshen up. The cool water on my face felt like a reset button, but even as I stood there, one nagging question refused to leave me alone: “How on earth am I going to leave this house and attend the Governor’s party without Morgan noticing?”Morgan was not the kind of man to overlook details. He knew my schedule better than I did most days. The last thing I needed was him—or wor

  • Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees    So fucking angry

    Farrow’ s point of view The morning started as a complete disaster. Nothing—and I mean nothing—was going my way. I stared at my phone, my knuckles white from gripping it too tightly, and shouted, “I said get me the dress I ordered *immediately*!” My voice shook with anger as I paced the floor. “Ma’am, we are really sorry, but the dress is no longer available. It was purchased—” “Shut the fuck up!” I screamed, cutting her off. “I do not care how you do it or where you get it from, just get me the damn dress—or trust me, you will regret it!” Before I could finish my rant, the line went dead. “What?” I hissed, staring at the screen. “Did she just hang up on me?” My chest was heavy with anger as I stomped my foot on the floor. I threw my phone onto the couch and folded my arms, glaring at nothing in particular. “The audacity,” I whispered through clenched teeth. “The fucking audacity.” I took a deep breath, but it was not helping. I was so damn angry. So many things annoyed m

    Farrow’s point of view I heard a knock on my door and quickly put off my cigarette. I sprayed my room with a nice spray before opening the door.I was shocked to see my dad at the door , smiling like someone who had just been hit with a billionaire dollar contract.“What's up dad?” I asked.“Farrow, Farrow, my darling farrow, " he said, walking inside my room.For a second,I was shocked.I can not remember dad using such words for me except when he wanted to hook me up with some billionaire.“What's going on?” I said, looking at him weirdly.“You have brought me great joy.” He said, smiling broadly.He took me into his arms and hugged me, even rocking me like I was a little girl."Is everything alright?" I whispered."Of course, everything is perfect, thanks to you," he replied."And what exactly did I do?" I asked, still shock at his behavior."Everything I have always wanted and more," he replied.“With what you have accomplished, not only have you secured your future, you have als

    Marrissa's point of view I jolted in fear when the room door flew open and Morgan stomped inside the room.My chest started beating heavily when I saw his dark eyes blazing with fury. He looked like a different person, like a monster on a mission, and I instinctively stepped back. But it didn’t matter. He closed the distance between us in two long strides and grabbed my wrist.My cry of pain only made him angrier and he pushed me toward the bed. “Morgan!” I screamed as fear enveloped me.“What the hell are you doing?” He did not answer. His silence was more terrifying than words. His hand on my wrist tightened as he shoved me onto the bed. I pushed him, trying to sit up, but he was on me in an instant, pinning me down with the full weight of his body. His hand reached for the buttons of my dress, and I thrashed beneath him. “Please, Morgan, do not do this!” I whispered, my voice trembling, tears pooling in my eyes. But he did not stop. His fingers moved quickly, ripping my

  • Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees    Lost all my senses

    Morgan's point of view I parked my car in a hurry and went to the front door hoping to see Marrissa in the dining room or the sitting room, but none was there. I climbed up the stairs, taking it three steps at a time and went into my bedroom. Slamming the door open,I walked into the empty room.By this time, my chest was beating faster than normal not just from exertion, but from anger bubbling inside of me.“Why the hell is she not back?” I hissed to myself, pacing back and forth. My mind raced through every possibility, each one making me more angrier than the last. I pulled out my phone, punching in Marrissa's number. I wanted to call her, to demand an explanation, but a knot of frustration stopped me.The image of her with Jack Stone burned in my mind. Just the thought of her still being with him sent a wave of anger through my veins. I was about to hit the call button when I heard the sound of the front door creaking open.I turned and rushed to the staircase, looking over the

  • Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees    Meeting Glow

    Morgan's point of view I sat in my car, looking at the entrance of the hotel, Marrissa and Jack were in for almost two hours.What the hell are they still doing inside, I thought for the millionth time in those two hours.Because of the hotel's policy, I could not go in, I had not made any reservation.By eight in the evening, I drove to one of my secret apartments, the same one my men had kept Glow.The tension in the room increased the moment I stepped in. I could see the shock on Glow's face. When she looked up at me, her shock turned into fear..She should be, because I was not smiling. There was no sign of warmth in my expression, just cold impatience."Start talking," I said, my tone sounding sharper, I went straight to the point. I had no time for games, no time for excuses. I want the truth, every word of it. That's what I came for, and I was not leaving without it.Glow stared at me, frozen in her seat. Her lips moved, but no sound came out. She was trembling, she closed her

  • Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees    A terrifying voice

    Glow's point of view Jane and I stepped out of the house and the cool night air did nothing to calm the heat burning in our chest. Her car was parked a distance away from the house. Jane dug in her bag for her keys, and when she found it, dhe looked at me. "Ready?" she asked, her voice sounding low. I knew she was scared too.I have my plan in my head, but I wanted to be far off from Jane before accomplishing it. Her safety is very important to me at this point.So, I nodded. But before climbing into the car, I ran toward her, suddenly overcome with everything I wanted to say but had never been able to. Tears blurred my vision as the words tumbled out, raw and messy."Thank you. Thank you for everything. For staying by my side when I lost my sister, for giving me a home when I had none. I wanted so badly to repay you, Jane, but instead, I just brought more chaos into your life. I'm sorry." My voice broke on the last word, and I could not stop the tears from falling.Jane placed her

  • Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees    My determination

    Glow's point of view I stood frozen in the door of the bathroom, my heart was beating in my chest as I watched Jane tremble. One of the men had his hand around her throat threatening her. I wanted to scream, to jump out and stop him, but fear pinned me in place. I had brought this trouble into Jane’s life. She did not deserve any of this, and now she was paying for my mistakes. My throat tightened, and hot tears fell down my cheeks.“You better talk, or you would not get to talk again. Where’s Glow?”The man snarled, shaking her violently.Jane’s hands shook as she raised them weakly. For a terrifying second, I thought she might point to the bathroom where I was hiding. My stomach twisted and intense heat rushed through my body immediately. Would she betray me? Where do I to from here? But then, to my relief and amazement, she pointed toward the door.“She left for work a few hours ago,” Jane said, her voice shaky but firm enough to sound believable.I let out a silent breath of rel

    Glow's point of view "Jeez!” I screamed, falling off the chair I was sitting on. My heart was pounding so loudly I could barely hear anything else. I held my chest, trying to catch my breath, as the sound of laughter filled the room. I turned around to find Jane, my best friend, bending over, laughing so hard she had to hold her stomach.“What the fuck did you do that for?” I shouted, still trying to steady myself. My pulse was racing, and I was half a second away from throwing something at her.“I’m sorry!” she said between fits of laughter. “But seriously, Glow, what were you thinking about? I have been standing here for nearly fifteen minutes, and you did not even notice me!”I sighed, brushing myself off as I stood from the ground. “You would not understand,” I said, avoiding her gaze. Jane stopped laughing, and her expression shifted into one of concern. She stepped closer to me, her voice sounding serious. “Come on. Talk to me. What’s going on?”I shook my head, feeling the we

  • Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees    A wonderful date with Jack

    Marrissa's point of view I glanced in my rearview mirror and saw Morgan’s car behind mine. I smiled faintly although I was boiling with anger inside of me. “Who does he think he is?” The thought irritated me to no end. He always acted as though he had the right to do whatever he pleased while expecting me to live within the boundaries he created. Men like Morgan infuriated me—their arrogance, their double standards. The truth was, I agreed to meet Jack tonight for two reasons. First, to apologize for Morgan’s disgraceful behavior at the party the other night. Jack did not deserve to be treated the way Morgan had treated him. And second? I wanted to pass the time. But now, knowing Morgan was following me, his desperation only made me more determined to lean into this—to follow through with the evening, maybe even enjoy myself a little. If he wanted to stalk me like a possessive fool, fine. Let him. I pulled into the driveway of the upscale hotel, parking smoothly in one of the va

  • Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees    Desperate man

    Morgan's point of view My feet felt very heavy as I stood on the same spot, frozen, watching Marrissa walk away. Her words rang in my ears, sharp and cutting me deeply. My heart still hurts from the force of them. I refused to believe what she had just said. No, she could never have gone out with another man that night. It was not true. It could not be. But the look in her eyes, the calmness in her voice, told a story I was not ready to hear. My chest tightened, and I reached for my phone, wanting to solve this mystery immediately. I need an answer, an explanation that would keep me from going insane. If anyone could explain what was happening, it was Glow, she was right there and everything changed after I left her and Farrow in the party. So, I dialed her number. But there was no answer. I called again. Nothing. I tried a third time, and by now, frustration and anger was building like a storm inside me. Glow was avoiding me; that much was clear now. If she was not answering,
