Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees A deliberate push
Marrissa's point of view The afternoon sun poured through the nursery windows, casting a soft, golden glow across the room. The walls of the nursery had been freshly painted by a professional. He used a beautiful shade of lavender, a color Morgan and I had agreed was neutral enough for either a boy or a girl. It was a small but beautiful space, waiting to be filled with laughter, tiny clothes, and the soft coos of the life we were preparing to welcome. Morgan stood in the center of the room, he had just rolled his sleeves up, and he had a screwdriver in his hand, he was about assembling the baby crib. I looked at him and smiled. His usually sleek hair was slightly tousled, and the smile of happiness on his face made my day. His concentration was intense as if he was handling some difficult business proposal, but there was this gentleness in the way he moved, a silent promise of the father he was about to become. “Are you sure you are doing that right?” I teased, my voice fil
Last Updated : 2025-03-13Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees My decision
Morgan's point of view Today was supposed to be a happy day, and the nursery was supposed to be a place of peace, a space where Marrissa and I could dream about the life we were building together. Instead, it ended up being the exact opposite.I stomped out of the room, my heart pounding harder than it should have. My head hurts and I could not control my anger. I could still hear Marrissa’s voice of pain, the sharp sound kept ringing in my ears. I really did not mean to yell at her. I made a promise to myself never to shout at her again, but goddamn it, the woman made me scared and angry all at the same time. Marrissa is stubborn, so stubborn it made me want to shake some sense into her. She did too much, always pushing herself like she was not carrying our child, like she was not risking her health with every careless step. And what for? To prove what point exactly? To show me she did not need help from anyone, or to prove that she is an independent woman? I ran a hand through

Marrissa's point of view My hand stretched out to the door handle, and for some reason I did not understand,I became apprehensive, something in me told me not to open the door."Morgan," I called softly, hesitating for a split second before pushing the door open. Before my fingers could move, the door opened wide from the inside. Every muscle in my body tensed up as my eyes met the person standing in front of me.Farrow stood there, leaning against the door like she owned the place. She wore red lingerie, and the way her body was exposed and the way she smiled told me there was more to what meets the eyes.She did not look surprised. If anything, she looked amused. "Hey, Marrissa. You are back." She said in a joyful tone,like there was something we were celebrating.I didn’t respond, I couldn't because I didn’t even know what to say. My eyes moved past her, looking toward the study. The air was thick with the scent of her perfume, the kind that lingered long after someone had

Morgan's point of viewI knew everything was wrong the moment I opened my eyes.First, I noticed I was half-naked, and I did not remember removing my clothes at any time.Second, the scent in the room felt odd. It was not mine. It was not Marrissa’s, either. No. This was a scent I recognized but never wanted near me. It was Farrow's.I sat up quickly. I didn't mind the pain in my head, what bothered me was why Farrow's scent was all over me.I knew when she came into my study.She had knocked softly, stepping inside before I even acknowledged her. I had been too lost in my thoughts. My mind was replaying the look in Marrissa’s eyes when she walked away from me earlier that day. "Is everything alright? I heard Marrissa's voice earlier and she didn't sound happy and then I saw her walk out angrily," she had said. "Is everything okay between you two? Is there something I can do to help?"I did not even look at her before yelling at her to Get out.The audacity of her to show up, acting

Morgan's point of view The dim glow of the bar did little to reduce the storm inside me even for a bit. I tilted my glass, watching the amber liquid swirl before downing it in one gulp. It burned my throat, but not enough to drown out the frustration biting me at my chest. "Ring, ring, ring."For the fifth time in ten minutes, my phone vibrated on the counter. It was Marrissa. I scoffed, shaking my head. “Oh, now she notices I’m gone. Now I’m worth talking to.” I gritted my teeth, tapping my fingers against the glass before signaling the bartender for another shot. He hesitated, eyeing me cautiously. "Are you okay, Morgan?" I sighed , not even sure how to answer that question. Before I could find the words, my phone buzzed again, but this time, it was a different number. “This must be Andre,” I whispered.I chuckle, flipping my phone over, I hold down the power button. My phone screen darkened, cutting off the ringing and switching off. “They can all go to hell for a

Marrissa's point of view “Open the damn gate,” Andre yelled to the men at the gate.“Sir….. ma… the gate is locked from the outside,” one of Morgan's men replied.“What? What the hell does that mean?” I asked in panic.“Calm down Marrissa,” Andre said, making me sit down.“I think Sir Morgan locked the gate from the outside.”“He fucking did what?” “Is there another way outside this estate?”“Only one emergency gate and only Mr Morgan knows the code to open the gate.”“Fuck fuck fuck, call your boss, everyone, call him right now, His wife needs medical attention.”I can't believe Morgan would do this, in fact, I felt ashamed my husband could be this callous.If he wasn't happy to see Andre, why didn't he say something?I had invited Andre here because I felt uneasy and I didn't want to tell Morgan, not yet and when Andre called me and said he was in the neighborhood, I begged him to come in.And truth be told, his presence had helped change my mood, but while we were talking, I sudd

Morgan's point of view I drove up to my mansion but did not get out of the car. The engine hummed softly beneath my hands, the glow of the headlights cutting through the early morning darkness. But I just sat there, gripping the steering wheel, staring at the front gates like they were some kind of prison bars. I knew I should go inside, but I could not.No, I was not scared,but I was tired. Tired of the many fights and quarrels.By now, Marrissa was definitely furious. She could be hurt too. Truth is, I don't think I could handle another fight. Not tonight. My head hurts so badly and it may explode if I stress myself any further.And God knows that if I see Andre I inside, I might actually lose it. The thought of him standing in my house, acting like he belonged there, like he had a right to Marrissa’s time and attention, made my blood boil. I sighed sharply and raked a hand through my hair. I wasn’t ready for this. I wasn’t ready for her anger. For the look in her eyes th

Morgan's point of view The hall outside the doctor’s office felt colder than the rest of the hospital. Everywhere smelled like antiseptic and I hated it.My hands curled into fists at my sides as I stood there, trying to prepare myself for what I already knew in my gut was bad news. I turned the knob and stepped inside. Dr. Patel looked up from his desk, his face lined with exhaustion. His eyes that were usually sharp now looked sad and that alone made my heart heavy. “Hello, doctor.” I greeted, my voice came out rough. “Hey, Morgan.” I noticed his tone was careful. “How are you holding up?” I nearly laughed. How the hell did he think I was doing? “What happened?” I demanded, cutting through whatever small talk he was trying to offer. “Where is my wife? How’s my child?” Dr. Patel sighed and gestured for me to sit, but I didn’t move. “Calm down, Morgan,” he said gently. I clenched my jaw. “Just tell me what happened.” He hesitated. “First, you need to know that we d

Marrissa's point of view By the time I got back to my apartment, the second folder Mr. Adrian gave me had already started whispering threats from my bag.“You are doomed,” it seemed to hiss. “Say goodbye to sleep and your sanity.”I dropped my purse and opened the folder like a woman possessed.Inside it was a mind-numbing market analysis, a confusing logistical report, and a memo full of corporate jargon so dense it might as well have been ancient Greek.There was also a handwritten note at the top:“Impress me.”“Oh good. "No pressure,” I said with a frown.I tied my hair into a messy bun, chugged three cups of coffee, and braced myself for a long, brutal night.At exactly 7:42 PM, Samira texted me:Samira: “Are you alive? “Blink twice if yes.”I texted back:“I'm barely alive Sam, this folder is trying to kill me.”Samira: “Do you need snacks?” “I can airdrop a pizza.”Me; “Bless you, but no”. “I don't need food right now because this is WAR.”
Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees A huge deal
Marrissa's point of view "Oh shit, we have just fifteen minutes to get back to the office," Tasha screamed.The rest of us exclaimed and hurried to our feet.The afternoon sun was hotter now, turning the glass walls of the building into a giant mirror. As we crossed the street back toward work, I realized my feet felt lighter and my heart too.I was not walking like a girl terrified of the Echelon Project anymore. I was walking like someone who had enough confidence to carry out the project."Remember," Samira said as we neared the revolving doors, tossing me a wink, "If you start getting nervous and confused, just text me a pancake emoji. Emergency backup will arrive."I laughed, feeling some of the old fear crack and fall away.As the others walked off toward their different departments, I lingered for a second in the lobby for a while to just breathe in the cool air. I started to feel I belonged here.I turned towards the elevator that leads to the floor where my office is
Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees A huge project
Marrissa's point of viewI had to drag myself into a decent outfit and force a smile on my face.“The past is gone, Marrissa. "Focus on now and the future,” I said to myself.Then Samira’s message came in for the third time this morning."Heads up —something important is coming up now. Will fill you in when you arrive. See you soon!" “Something important?” I echoed.Was that supposed to be comforting? Because it was not.When I arrived at the company, the lobby was buzzing with activities.People in sharp suits moved quickly, whispering and tapping away furiously on tablets. A huge arrangement of fresh flowers that was not there the last time I came appeared at the entrance. Security guards stood taller, looking twice as serious.Samira found me by the elevators, and slightly bounced on her toes like she was holding a massive secret.“What’s going on?” I hissed.She just smiled and pressed the elevator button.“You will see.”The elevator opened, and before I could even step inside
Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees New Life. New friends
Marrissa's point of view "Thanks for today," I said, smiling before getting down from the car."Anytime darling," Samira replied. "See you by 7 pm," she added."Yes boss," I replied jokingly. She drove off after that and I went inside.I shut the door behind me and just stood there, my back was pressed against it, bags still hanging from my arms, and a stupid smile spreading across my face.I dropped the bags on the couch and walked to the mirror by the door and just stared at myself. New clothes. New job. "New life,” I whispered to myself.I pinched my arm just to be sure I was not dreaming.“Ow!” I yelped, rubbing the spot."It's not a dream,” I said, and laughed at myself for even doubting everything.This is real.“Samira had just dropped me off after taking me on the most insane shopping spree of my life — and now she wanted me to go out tonight and meet even more people?” The old me would have said no immediately. Make an excuse and end up in bed all day. I checked the time.
Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees A grand style of shopping
Marrissa's point of view I stepped out of the company with my heart still racing.Is this real? Everything that had happened so far seemed like a dream or something that could only happen in a fairyland.I could not believe it. Everything and everyone has been close to perfection.“This way miss Marrissa,” Samira said, and I looked up to her.She led me to the car and I got in without saying a word further.She drove in silence, but my mind kept asking lots of questions."Here we are, ma,” she announced, and when I raised my eyes,I gasped in awe."This is where we will be shopping today," Samira said with a smile.I got down and followed her lead.The boutique looked like something out of a celebrity Instagram post. It was all glossy floors, golden racks, and a smell that I could only describe as ‘rich people and new leather.’ I paused at the entrance, suddenly feeling out of place, but Samira marched in like she owned the place.“Well? "Come on!” she called, laughing when she saw
Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees A great beginning.
Marrissa's point of view I have no one. I can't call Andre. We have not spoken to each other since I left Spain.I can't trust Molly enough. Who knows she might be behind this? Morgan! He is the only one powerful enough to save me, but I definitely can not call him, not after how we ended things. Not after the way, I had left him at the gate and walked away with my chin high but my heart bleeding.“Calm down, Marrissa. "You are overthinking things. "This might be a prank,” I whispered to myself.“Yes, this is definitely a prank.” I tried steadying my breathing and relaxing But then, Luke started driving faster than before and his hands were moving over the dashboard.“Oh God! This is not a prank. "If really, I'm being kidnapped, please let Morgan be my kidnapper and not someone else,” I prayed.Crazy line of prayer, right? But, what would you have me pray for? After all, the devil you know is better than the angel you do not know.“Luke?” I asked again, more firmly this time. “Wher
Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees A foreign country
“You are just in time ma,” Please take your seat,” one of the flight attendant said the moment I got back onboard.I obeyed immediately and few minutes later we were in that air.I closed my eyes, forcing myself not to think of him and soon I was fast asleep.The landing announcement sounded foreign when I heard it I made it. I was really here.I stood at the edge of the airport terminal, the cool air brushing against my skin as the automatic doors whooshed open and shut behind me. People walked past me. Some people were hugging their loved ones. There was a sound of laughter, yelling and honking everywhere, but I just stood there, lost. My suitcase was by my side, but my mind was a thousand miles away.“What now?” I whispered to myself.I didn't even know where to turn, the right path to take. At that point, I think my brain left me, because I felt so confused.It had taken everything in me to board that plane. To leave Morgan behind. To convince myself I was doing the right thing.
Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees Lying to him
Marrissa's point of view The next morning, I prepared in silence. My hands moved on their own, folding clothes, zipping up my suitcase, and brushing my hair—but my mind was not really in the room. It was miles away, tangled in memories and second-guessing every choice that had led me here. I kept looking around like I had forgotten something. My chest felt heavy, it was like I was leaving something important behind.I sat on the bed for quite a while, thinking, feeling sad all of a sudden.“Gosh Marrissq, what do you really want? Do you want to stay and continue to feel hurt and sorry for yourself or do you want to start afresh, meet new people and maybe get a third chance at love again,” my inner mind asked.“I want to start afresh, meet new people but definitely not give love a third chance,” I replied to myself.Falling in love again would be the most stupid thing to do. Two heartbreaks is enough for a lifetime. Although, I would not compare Morgan with Tom. With Tom,I was stupid
Bringing My Arrogant CEO To His Knees Time to leave
Marrissa's point of view When I got back to the hotel after my conversation with Molly, I felt even more determined to disappear.No, I was not running away. I just wanted to disappear.And yes, there is a difference. Running implies that I'm scared, desperate or that I'm trying to escape some form of punishment. But disappearing… that is quiet and dignified. And after everything I had been through, I wanted….. No I needed a clean break.I sat on the edge of the bed for a long time after I walked in, recalling everything that happened in the club and outside the club.Molly's words still echoed faintly in my ears, but it was the things she did not say that haunted me more. I had known Molly for a damn long time to know when she was lying. I know how to read her body language like a book. The way her hands kept fidgeting when I pressed her for answers. The way she could not even look me straight in the eyes showed she had a lot hidden in her cupboard and didn't let me talk about her
