Their eyes flew wide open at the sound of the familiar voice and their kiss broke in an instant as both their hearts dropped for two seperate reasons, they turned to see who now stood at the door with a shocked look and Will's mouth fell open. He'd forgotten the biggest hurdle he had to pass before anything else. She had on a leopard skin jacket over a long black dress, her head covered by a fancy black wide brim sun hat, and her sunshades coming off her face exposed the look in her eyes. "Mrs. Crawford." Will's voice tweaked "My god," Zayn sighed with the roll of his eyes as he straightened "I should've known. You're the only person who thinks it's okay to burst into a room without knocking first... and then leaving the door wide open." Zayn pointed at the door and Will stared up at Zayn in disbelief. Was he the only one seeing the scary look on her face? She'd just caught them kissing, in the office, but that wasn't the worst part of it, his shirt was halfway buttoned, his hair w
The rest of the day felt like an iceberg the size of the earth had fallen, the surrounding felt cold with guilt, frustration, and unease flying in the air. Will stared at Zayn seated in front of the cameras while he handled the interview like he hadn't just bursted out in anger some hours ago. He had managed to push the interview by a few hours, and thankfully that was all they needed. Newton had gotten another car over and they had headed back to the house, Zayn had helped press on an ice pack on his cheek until the redness had faded even when he kept telling him he was fine, and that ice was mostly used for swelling. But he let him do it regardless, because he could tell Zayn was angry. Zayn kept exhaling and letting out big sighs, he wouldn't stop apologizing with a look that made Will wish he had managed to dodge the slap, and worst of all, he looked hurt. Yet, despite how his smile focused on the camera shone like the appeal he gave off, Will knew him too well to notice the sli
He got to the front of the door and took in a deep breath, his hand went up to place a knock but then he remembered."Right, I have the card."He slipped the card in and the door fell open. Making his last resolve, he stepped into the room and carefully shut the door behind him. The large luxurious room that exposed the lit up swimming pool made him look around for her presence. Thankfully, he spotted her the minute he took another glance at the pool. Sitting on a chair that was placed very close to the pool, dressed in a white robe and a white towel wrapped around her head, Mrs. Crawford stared deep into the pool thoughtfully as she held on lightly to the cup of red wine in her hand.Taking a closer look at her made it dawn on Will even more that her weight had critically dropped. Was this one of the beauty trends for women? Slowly taking soft steps towards the pool, he stood at the entrance, reminding himself not to go any further because he hadn't been invited in. She didn't seem
Zayn stood anxiously at the doorstep as he stared at his phone in his hand, what a great sense of deja vu he was having. He'd been waiting for Will's call for a while now but he got nothing, should he really still give him time to meet up with her? He knew his mom had a strong head at times, but she had always been particularly partial to Will so he thought it wouldn't last a day for her to give in. But it's been a week already. Just what was she still being so strongheaded about? "I shouldn't have promised to stay out of it." Zayn muttered to himself as he stared down the empty road that had no one approaching. He was only respecting Will's wish because he trusted him, but if his mom kept making things difficult... His phone rung out in his hand and his fingers moved as fast as light "Will, where are you? Are you on your way back?" The moment silence that responded to him made his brows furrow "Will?" A disturbed breath came in and he finally heard Will speak "...Zayn, I-" Will's
Hey everyone, it's your dear Author Autumn, haha, and I'm dropping this note first to apologize for the inconvenience and then to bring to your notice that the two previous chapters before this of CEO'S WITCH, Request and Acceptance, has been changed and sadly the changes won't be reflected until you delete the book from your library and resubscribe. Which I do encourage you to do, inorder to avoid confusion from the next chapter.Once again I'm sorry for this, I had to make the changes 'cause I felt the previous model was too rushed and I didn't want you to have that. But if you already have your chapter ending with Mrs. Crawford losing consciousness, then I believe resubscribing would no longer be necessary. And then lastly, I'm just going to say a big thank you all for your support, gems, reviews, and your comments. It means to much to Zayn and Will's fragile heart, please do continue to leave your honest reviews and support. Thank you all so much, and have a blissful holiday. Mwww
Zayn stared at the beanie on her head and the familiar scene made him sick. Why? Why was she sitting there with a beanie on? "Why are you sitting there and wearing that?" Zayn questioned, his calm voice differing from the sour look on his face "Well, it's not like I had a choice, they couldn't leave me in my bathrobe," Mrs. Crawford shrugged, then a look of disbelief pulled up her face "And is that the first thing you have to say to me? Why are you...""If this is your way of getting at me then stop it and get up."Will stared up at Zayn, confused at his reaction "Zayn.""I said get up." Will blinked and his brows furrowed "Zayn, why are you...""It's fine, Will," Zayn's mom spoke and Will turned back to see she wasn't offended, almost like she knew what Zayn was getting at. Why did he seem to be the only confused one?Zayn watched his mom pull off the sheet and his eyes stayed on her as she got up and stood on both her feet strongly. "Happy now?" she threw her hands up Seeing her
He was going to do that anyway. He popped the box open and froze at the sight that melted his heart, the two platinum rounds that held the most expensive diamonds right in the middle made him unable to find the words that could place his sprouting feeling at the moment. "Rings?""Mh hm. That's for you." Will's head came up "Me?" "Yes." she smiled and her eyes shifted to the side remorsefully "After I stopped by the office, I had a long time to think about things and realize I was in the wrong. I was obviously mad at you, but strangely I still found myself thinking about you two being together and before I knew it, I found myself getting a ring." she laughed in disbelief at herself "I'd already made it back to the hotel before I realized what I'd done, I just couldn't help myself. I must've secretly been in support of you two before I even noticed, and if you hadn't found a way to me to say what you have then I might just have left this behind for Johnny. I had bought this with the
Will sat across Mrs. Crawford on the bed as they held on to their game faces, trying to figure out the next move to play on the chess board. "Checkmate." Will moved his pawn and left Mrs. Crawford with a defeated look."How did you get so good at this?" she whined and Will chuckled"Zayn taught me.""Fair enough." she nodded and Will glanced back at the door.Why is it taking so long to see the doctor? Was it that serious? he thought. Just then, the door fell open and his eyes brightened as Zayn came in sight, but his mouth also stayed shut as he saw the doctor come in behind Zayn. "I was just wondering why you were taking so long," Mrs. Crawford stated and the doctor smiled"I'm sorry, I guess I did hold him up for too long." "A minute earlier and you could have saved me from getting as ass kicked." she replied as her eyes went up to squint at Will with a smile. Will returned the gesture and his eyes shifted to Zayn who looked even worse than he did before he left for the office.
