“No she didn’t!” Alaric laments and I exhale heavily. I just told him about the conversation I had with Luna earlier today.
“Yes she did and I understand where she is coming from bro. She doesn’t want to get hurt”
“So what are you going to do?”
“The wedding is in five months, that’s enough time for me to figure out what to do”
“Why do I feel like you have plans of calling off that wedding” He asks looking at me queerly.
I smile.
“The universe has its way of making things fall in place. Let’s just wait and see”
“This is not going to end well”
“Oh, it will and you will be impressed” I say with a naughty smirk.
The saying “uneasy is the head that carries the crown” is indeed the truth. My head is spinning like a roller coaster, this dilemma I currently find

CEO'S DILEMMA CHAPTER FORTY-THREE
LUNA’S POVSo, as if showing up at Asher's house unannounced wasn’t enough, Kyle just decided to ruin my evening by telling me that someone else took my place at the company. He’s all about how he doesn’t want me stressing up myself and I don’t know how many times I have to tell him that I’m pregnant not dying. This over protective attitude of his is pissing me off.“Kyle please try to reconsider, I can’t just stay at home doing nothing for nine whole months, I will die of boredom” I plead.“You will be fine Luna, stop all this exaggeration”“Kyle” I call pouting like a five year old but the look he has on makes me understand that there is no going back on this decision of his.Ugh!I hate him sometimes.Suddenly, I hear footsteps approaching the living room and I heave out a heavy sigh of relief when I see Asher walk into the living room, I rush over to him

“Jesus, it’s been three hours already Luna, open up!” Alora commands from outside and I just stay still on my bed as I stare blankly at the door.“You’ve not had dinner and I’m worried sick, worried sick I tell you. The CEO’S wrath is the last thing I want to incur right now”“Allow me”The moment I hear Asher’s voice, my heart starts beating abnormally again. That man would’ve kissed me if Alora had not stormed in and I would have let him do it because he is the man I choose.My heart beats for Ace, I love him immensely but my mind knows better than to think that we can ever have a future together. He is going to marry someone else, that’s why I want to try as much as possible to deviate these feelings I have for him to Asher.I know that’s what’s best for me.“Luna” He calls with his usual calm tone. “I am not trying to scare you, bu

Blink.Blink again.My eyes are greeted with perfect male facial features. Asher sleeps like a God.My eyes trail down his perfectly closed eyes down his well chiseled jawline and then his lips. Those lips he almost had on mine if Alora had not interrupted us. I am currently entwined in his arms and I have never felt so protected in my life.If this is what it feels like to be in his arms all the time, then I’m willing to give us a chance.“Good morning sunshine” He greets with his eyes still closed.“How do you know I’m awake?”“I can feel your gaze on me sweetheart” He says opening his starling brown eyes. I bring up my hand and place my palm on his cheek and gently caress it. “If you keep doing that I might be tempted to kiss you” He whispers in a hoarse voice and I swallow dryly.I might just get that kiss I have been waiting for.“Then do it” I

ASHER’S POVI park in the driveway at the Heritage Empire premises and walk into the lobby totally aware of the commotion my presence is causing. I’m not any ordinary Attorney in my country, I’m actually the best and I take after my father who’s now an Attorney General. Politicians detests me because I don’t compromise when it comes to exposing their evil deeds.

He was sued by my very own father and he entrusted me with the case.I can still remember how worked up I was throughout that case, but with the help of some IT experts and legal duty colleagues, I aced it. I provided all the evidence against him and now his greedy ass is somewhere in the Central prison paying for his sins.

He has challenged me to make Luna mine within six months and it’s barely four months to my wedding with Sophia. I know Asher all too well, he doesn’t give his word in vain, if I don’t have Luna and he does, it is the end for me.

Luna’s POV“I’m never getting used to this” I whisper to Ace. We are both in the echography room and I’m lying on the hospital bed in a hospital dress. As stupid as I am, I put on a dress and now I had take it all off to change into a hospital dress right in front of Ace. He blatantly refused to leave the room when I asked him to so I could change. You have no idea how much I blushed and I’m still blushing right now. His hand hasn’t left my tummy ever since I lay on this bed. He keeps caressing my bump, then I remember how Asher made me choke on my soup this morning when he mentioned himself touching my tummy. I would die of embarrassment if that ever happens. Ace kisses my lips and tummy for the umpteenth time and I can’t help but roll my eyes. He’s exaggerating.The door creaks open and the sonographer walks in, it’s the same woman who always does my ultrasound.“You are once more welcome Mr. Ac

I love you and as it is now you are carrying the future heir to the Heritage Empire, you deserve every good thing”“Your mother will die before she lets an illegitimate child take over Heritage” I say chuckling and he looks at me with a frown.“Don’t call my child such”“But its the truth right? You’ll marry someone else, he’ll be illegitimate”“No he won’t” He denies and I roll my eyes and rest my head on the headrest.

The feud between them runs deeper than I thought“Look, there was no one at the hospital to look after her or better still take her home, I couldn’t just leave her there”“Yes you could?, I won’t care if she rots there!”“Alora she is carrying your niece or nephew, you need to be a bit considerate towards her rig
