Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees The set up
Marrissa's point of view I woke up feeling sluggish, and unusually heavy, the kind of heaviness that crept into my bones and refused to let go. Pregnancy, I thought bitterly, was no joke. I rolled over in bed, groaning as I tried to find a comfortable position. My hand moved absentmindedly to my stomach, tracing the gentle curve that had only recently begun to show. “Is it not too early for this?” I murmured, staring at my belly as though the baby could hear me. “Take it easy on me, kid. I have got a bigger baby to deal with already.” The bigger baby, of course, is Morgan. By noon, I was still trying to shake off the sluggishness in me when my phone buzzed with a notification. " I want to see you in my office now," the message read. I sighed, dragging myself out of my chair. When I stepped into his office, he barely looked up from the papers he was reviewing. Typical of him, his arrogance is something you see even before his clothes.“Did you get my message yesterday?” he as

Marrissa's point of view.I sat at the table with Morgan and his so-called client, Farrow Hussion.If I knew she was the one we were meeting today, God knows I would not have bothered to come here. Imagine going all through the stress I went through today just to sit with Morgan and his lover.Farrow sat looking like a shinning mirror with all the glitter she wore. I felt it made her look more like a doll than a person.She kept laughing at every word Morgan said, and smiled like a puppy in the heat, and her hand never left Morgan’s arm. My head was blazing with anger, but I kept my cool, watching them interact like lovers. I shifted in my seat, trying to ignore the feeling of being completely out of place. “What am I even doing here?” I whispered under my breath, mostly to myself. Morgan glanced at me but did not say a word. He continued his hushed conversation with Farrow, their heads bent toward each other, as though I was invisible. “Oh, I see,” I said louder this time, my v

Morgan's point of view My stomach turned with excitement the moment Marrissa walked into the lounge. I had been waiting for this, for her. She looked exactly how I wanted her to—frustrated, exhausted, defeated. Her usually proud shoulders dropped under the weight of whatever had worn her down. Her face was pale, and her steps dragged. My plan worked perfectly. I had given her the most convoluted directions possible, a route designed to drain her. And clearly, it had done the job.“One to zero,” I whispered under my breath, a small smirk tugging at my lips as I watched her approach the table. But the satisfaction did not last long. The moment she opened her mouth to speak, she destroyed whatever victory I thought I had won. Her words were precise, cutting, each one delivered with an edge sharp enough to slice through steel.“Next time, maybe try being honest about directions instead of playing petty games. It would save us both some trouble,” she said coolly, her tone filled with

Marrissa's point of view I went inside the house with mixed feelings. My thoughts were a tangled mess. How did Morgan even know where I lived? My doorstep was the last place I expected to see him, and his sudden appearance had left me unsettled. I could not shake the sight of him, standing there, I felt I no longer had a hiding place. “Is everything okay?” Jason’s voice pulled me back to reality. “Yes,” I replied quickly, maybe too quickly. Jason tilted his head and gave me a skeptical look, that familiar teasing smile playing at the corners of his lips. “Sure? You are looking a little… spooked.” “I’m fine.” To lighten the mood, Jason cracked a joke—something dumb about the time we almost got locked out of our home in the middle of winter. I laughed loudly, too loudly, like I was trying to prove a point. Morgan was still at the door, and I wanted him to hear me. I wanted him to know that I was fine, happy even. Jason, as always, noticed everything but let it slide. He k

Marissa's point of view Jason had been blunt with me, and as much as I hated to admit it, he was right. Marrying Morgan would not solve anything. If anything, it would compound the problems we already have. I sat in my office, thinking about everything that happened between Jason and I last night. I could not stop thinking about him. I have always loved him like a brother, but now that we are adults, and hearing him confess his love for me turned me in a different direction. I began to feel something else, something different, and I thought maybe he was the perfect man for me. I stood up with a resolved determination, walking confidently towards Morgan's office.His office was as sterile as it always had been. He was busy, walking on his laptop when I went in.I dropped his car keys on his desk, making sure to create a sound. “Here are your keys,” I said.Morgan didn’t even look up. His eyes stayed glued to his laptop screen, fingers typing as if his life depended on it. Not a fli

Morgan's point of view I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, both literally and figuratively. I felt grumpy, irritable, and completely on edge. The maids, unfortunately, caught the brunt of my frustration as I snapped at them for no good reason. They looked startled but said nothing, quickly running away to avoid my outburst. I could not blame them—I do not even know why I was acting this way.The truth was, I barely slept last night. Marrissa and her strange, sudden request had been on my mind, keeping me wide awake. Her words played in an endless loop in my head, making no sense no matter how many times I tried to piece them together.Why had she changed her mind so suddenly? What was her angle? What was she planning?On any other day, I would have been happy at the thought of escaping someone like her. If she wanted out, that was a win for me. But this time, it did not feel like a win. First, It felt... off. It was her timing, her shot—like she was in control of everythin

Marrissa's point of view I could not be more grateful to Jason. The person he contacted processed my travel plans so quickly it left me speechless. On top of that, Jason arranged for me to stay in his family’s house until I got a job and could afford my own place. Everything seemed to be falling perfectly into place. For the first time in weeks, I felt like I could breathe. I was finally going to be free—free from Morgan and his father, free to live life the way I wanted. But as I folded my clothes into my suitcase, a pang of doubt crept in. Was I doing the right thing for my child? The question stopped me cold. My hands moved over the half-packed suitcase. Was I selfish in running away? Would my child resent me someday for depriving her of a father’s care and support? For a brief moment, the possibility of staying flashed through my mind. But then, as quickly as it came, reality shoved it aside. The father in question was Morgan Thornhill. Morgan, who treated everyone like

Morgan's point of view I watched Marrissa storm out of the room and smiled.Truth be told, I am beginning to love her fiery attitude, her stubborn and confident nature was something unique, something most women lack.But my smile vanished when I remembered her last words.She had claimed not to have a lover, and for her sake, I hoped that was true. God help her if I found out otherwise. All hell would break loose if some other man were screwing her.No….. It's not what you are thinking, far from it. Definitely not. I am not interested in Marrissa in any way. She does not mean anything to me beyond what she is supposed to represent—my secretary, and a convenient partner. All I want is to ensure that no one makes me look like a fool. Not again.My jaw tightened as memories of my ex-girlfriend flashed into my mind. She had been sleeping with my personal assistant—right under my nose. The humiliation still stung. I had trusted her, given her access to every part of my life, only for her

Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees The message
Molly's point of view I was in the middle of a spin. My hip was swaying to the beat of a song I don't even know, when I saw Marrissa's back. She was leaving.At first, I thought maybe she was going to the restroom or just stepping out for air. But the way she moved so quickly, like she was trying to disappear, told me something was not right. She didn’t even glance back.“Mar!” I called out, pushing past a group of tipsy girls laughing beside me. But the music was too loud. The crowd was too thick, and my voice vanished into the noise.I stopped dancing. My heart sank a little, as confusion bubbled inside me like soda that was shaken too hard.“Why did she leave like that? Without telling me? She knew I would be looking for her. She knew I hated being ditched without a word.”I turned and hurried back to the table we had been sitting at. Her drink was still half full. Her jacket was still there. Her phone wasn’t, though. Just mine, buzzing with a notification.I picked it up, and my
Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees A friend or an enemy?
Marrissa's point of view I didn’t go in my car. I didn’t go to Molly’s place, nor did I call Andre for help. And sure as hell, I did not go back to my own apartment. Morgan would look for me there. He could track me down faster than I could blink, and the last thing I wanted was to be found. So I grabbed my bag, flagged down a cab just outside the Thornhill mansion, and told the driver to just drive. “Where to?” he asked, watching me through the rearview mirror. “Somewhere quiet,” I whispered, looking out the window. “I’ll let you know.” I could feel the sting of tears forming in my eyes, but I blinked them away. I had cried enough already. Honestly, I think I have cried more than any human could cry in a lifetime.After about fifteen minutes, I gave him the name of a small lodge on the outskirts of the city. It was not one of those places with glossy glass windows and valet parking. This place didn’t have any stars next to its name. The kind of place no one would look at. E
Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees Checkmate
Farrow's point of view "One for me, nil to Marrissa," I whispered under my breath as I majestically walked out of the Thornhill penthouse. I made sure my heels sounded loudly like victory drums as they clicked against the marble floor.I could hardly contain the joy bubbling up in me. My lips twitched into a smile and I tried to suppress the scream of excitement swelling in my belly. My entire organs were dancing in victory.Every step I took down the hallway was one step closer to everything I ever wanted—and one step further from the wreck Marrissa would soon become.I controlled myself until we got to the car. And the moment I entered the car and shut the door and Laird started the engine. I lost all control.‘YES!" I screamed as my arms flew in the air. "Oh my God, yes! We did it! We actually did it!" Laird laughed as he drove, keeping one hand steady on the wheel. I turned to him, grabbing his free hand and shaking it like a lottery winner."Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I
Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees She is gone
Morgan's point of view But instead of going to my room and getting the sleep I craved just a while ago, I went to Marrissa's room.Not to tell her what had just transpired between Farrow and me, but to shield her from everything.I wanted to make a proposition that we relocate immediately. She seemed to have enjoyed her stay in Spain, so Spain could become our new country. I don't mind leaving everything behind. For her, I can rebuild my life from the crash if need be.I paced outside her room for a good five minutes before I knocked.There was no answer.I knocked again, lighter this time.Still nothing.I could hear movement inside, faint and muffled, but she was not coming to the door.I rested my forehead against the wood. “Marrissa,” I said softly, “I just want to talk.”There was silence.I exhaled. Of course, she wasn’t ready. She was probably questioning everything and hell, I didn’t blame her. She had every right to.What if she thought I set this all up? What if she believe
Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees Farrow and her lawyer
Morgan’s point of view I was tired and sleepy, yet dad refused to let me go.He had me down with details about his swearing in and his moving into the Governor's house."Dad, Marrissa and I will not be moving in with you," I said.Dad frowned."We have had this discussion before. You are the governor, not me. Besides, I'm not a teenager. I am a man of my own and should not be tagging along with you like a puppet," I said, rather too sharply.Dad sighed.I yanked and stood up from my seat."Wait, Morgan," dad said.I paused at the door, "Dad, I'm tired, I need to get some rest," I said."Sorry son, this won't take long," he said, already instructing that coffee be brought to his study.I sighed as I reluctantly walked back to my chair."This would definitely take me time," I whispered to myself.Dad started talking about so many things, and I was barely keeping up with him.I was halfway through my second cup of coffee when James, our butler, stepped into the study with an uncertain l
Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees Walking away
Marrissa’s point of view The damn door finally opened, and I did not wait for anyone to speak. I walked out without looking back.I breezed past the young guy who had opened the door. I didn't even glance at him. My heels echoed sharply on the marble floor as I walked straight to my room.My head pounded with each step I took. The pain in my eyes made it difficult for me to think . But honestly, the hangover was not the real source of my pain.What really hurt me was deeper than that. I felt a tight, aching weight in my chest I could not even begin to name.I slammed my door shut and locked it.Then I just stood there, leaning against the door with my eyes closed.What the hell just happened?Everything from last night hit me in pieces.My mind became filled with flashes of memory I was not ready for. The kiss. His hands. The way he said my name means something to him. How I clung to him like he was the only thing keeping me alive. How I needed him at that moment. The craving I felt t
Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees Finally out
Morgan’s point of view I woke up to the weight of Marrissa's body on me, her warmth pressed into my chest, and her breath was slow and steady against my skin. She was still asleep, curled into me, taking her rightful place beside me. My arms were wrapped around her protectively, almost like my body had decided on its own that it did not want to let her go again.And for a moment, everything felt right.I laid still for a while and just watched her. The soft light of the morning had begun to leak through the curtains, and it cast a pale glow over the room. Her lashes fluttered slightly, and I wondered what she was dreaming about.Eventually, I carefully moved, trying not to wake her. I shifted out from under her and gently laid her down onto the pillows. She stirred a little, but did not wake. I stood up, walked across the room. I pulled on my pants and shirt, and headed to the far end of the room, toward the small panel hidden near the bookcase. Unless you knew it was there, you wou
Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees Sex in a locked room
Marrissa's point of view I cursed my body for betraying me, for wanting something this lustful. I looked at Morgan and saw the same lustful desire in his eyes and I quickly looked away.I focused my eyes on something else, but my heart kept drifting back to him. Neither of us said anything and the silence between us became too loud for my convenience.I sat with my knees pulled up on the velvet carpet, the sound of the party has become a faint throb behind the thick walls. Morgan had stopped talking and the whiskey bottle, now barely a third full, sat between us like a shared secret we were too afraid to name.The room was dim, the light from the fireplace in the corner made the room warm and cast shadows that danced along the walls. I could feel the tension between us shifting from irritation into something dangerous.Morgan looked at me again.No, he didn't just look at me, his eyes were fixed on me, watching me.His eyes traced every line of my body like it was some kind of space
Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees A moment of peace
Marrissa's point of view The silence in the room stretched down a long time, and my mind would not stop racing. The tension between us was indescribable. I stared at the amber liquid inside the bottle, swirling it slowly. I knew he was shocked to hear me talk about bullies. Anyone who knows me now without hearing my story would think I have always been this outspoken and bold Hell, there were times I didn't want morning to come because I was too scared to go to school.“I was bullied in school,” I said, not really intending to—but the words had already started. “I was that fat girl. The one people whispered about in hallways and laughed at during gym class. Boys used to pretend to flirt with me as a joke.”Morgan's brows drew together, his lips parted slightly. But I continued before he could say anything.“I hated myself. Every inch of my body was annoying to me. So one day I stopped eating. I went on some insane diet I found online. I nearly collapsed at school twice. I passed ou
