Charming the CEO Chapter 16: Court Part 5
I saw Eddie staring at the empty plate of beef bourguignon that I had devoured earlier. The rich aroma of the dish still lingered in the air, and I could almost taste the tender beef and savory sauce on my tongue. Eddie looked at me with a small smile and said, "It's good to see you enjoying life again, Luna."I blushed at his words and quickly changed the subject. "Have you had breakfast yet, Eddie?" I asked, trying to distract him from my embarrassment.Eddie shook his head and then turned to me with a serious expression. "Luna, we need to get ready. I got a police summons for you this morning. If you don't show up, they can come and get you by force."My heart sank at his words. Eddie must have noticed the fear in my eyes because he quickly reassured me. "Don't worry, I've contacted a lawyer to help you. I'll introduce you to him later."I nodded and agreed, trying to hide my nervousness. Eddie then told me to take a shower and get ready. I headed to the bathroom, feeling strangely

The police station loomed large in front of me, its imposing structure exuding an air of oppression. The smell of stale coffee and sweat hung heavy in the air, making my stomach churn. I had always known that many injustices began within these walls, and although I didn't think all cops were bad, there were certainly some individuals whose crimes were particularly egregious.As I approached the entrance, my heart pounding in my chest, I was stunned to see a man about Eddie's age who was just as handsome. He was dressed in a sharp suit, the fabric of his jacket shimmering slightly in the fluorescent light. His dark hair was perfectly coiffed, not a strand out of place, and he exuded an air of confidence that was impossible to ignore.The man caught my eye and smiled, heading straight towards me. I felt a jolt of recognition, but I couldn't quite place him. His eyes were a piercing blue, and they seemed to see right through me."Luna, this is Gery," Eddie said, extending his hand to the

I took a deep breath and quickly entered the examination room, trying to ignore the sharp gazes of the policemen around me. Their eyes seemed to bore into me, making me feel like a cornered animal. Gery had given me a lot of tips on dealing with police questioning, and I was determined to stay calm and collected. I reminded myself that I had nothing to hide, and that I would answer their questions truthfully and confidently.But as soon as we entered the room, a policeman stepped in front of us, blocking our way. He was a tall, burly man with a stern expression on his face. "Only those who are to be questioned are allowed in," he said in a gruff voice, pointing at Eddie and Gery.I smirked nervously, afraid that the policeman would actually shoot Eddie if he tried to force his way in. Eddie was a big, imposing man, with a menacing scowl. He looked like he could handle himself in a fight, but I didn't want to take any chances.But Eddie just laughed and pointed at the policeman with a

As I stepped out of the police station, the cool air hit my face, sending a shiver down my spine. But it wasn't just the chill in the air that made me shudder. There they were, standing just a few feet away, the two people who had made my life a living nightmare. Amelia, my ex-husband Ethan's future wife, and Ethan himself.I couldn't believe my eyes. I felt like I was in a bad dream, one that I couldn't wake up from. My heart was racing, and my palms were sweating. I could feel the anger and resentment building up inside of me, but I tried to keep my composure.Eddie, my friend and confidant, was sitting on a bench nearby. He was engrossed in his phone, seemingly oblivious to the tense scene unfolding before him. But as soon as he saw me, he looked up and gave me a small smile. It was as if he was trying to tell me that everything was going to be okay."Eddie," I said, my voice shaking. "What are they doing here?"Eddie looked up at me and shrugged. "I don't know, Luna. But don't wor

I couldn't believe the audacity of Ethan, my ex-husband. He had the nerve to call me pretentious just because I had a lawyer backing me up. I raised my eyebrows, my heart pounding with annoyance, and resisted the urge to slap him across his smug face.Ethan grunted and take his phone. He then proceeded to call someone, intentionally amplifying his voice so that everyone in the police station could hear. "I'm at the police station," he said, his voice dripping with arrogance, "and I need you to come as soon as possible. I'll pay you a thousand dollars an hour as a legal brush."I snorted in annoyance at Ethan's show off. He was the CEO of a startup, not a super big company either. He thought he was so important, but in reality, he was just a small fish in a big pond. The smell of his cologne, a cheap knockoff of a designer brand, wafted through the air, making my nose wrinkle in disgust.It was very different from the scent of the perfume worn by Eddie.Ethan hung up the phone and appr

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Ethan's lawyer, a man who was supposed to be one of the best in the business, was trembling like a leaf outside the police station. His usually impeccable suit was rumpled, and his bow tie hung crookedly around his neck. He looked like a man on the verge of a breakdown.Gery, my lawyer, approached him with a confident stride. He was a tall man, with broad shoulders and a commanding presence. He wore a tailored suit that fit him perfectly, and his hair was slicked back in a neat style. He placed a comforting hand on the other lawyer's shoulder, and I could see the man visibly relax."Nice bow tie," Gery said, trying to lighten the mood. But the lawyer just smiled weakly, and I could tell that something was off. It was as if he knew something that I didn't.I had always known that Gery was a famous lawyer, but in that moment, I felt like there was more to him than that. He seemed to have a certain power and authority that was impossible to ignore. H

Ethan sat in his plush armchair, swirling the expensive Bordeaux in his glass. The deep ruby color caught the dim light of the room, casting a warm glow on the mahogany table. The taste was exquisite, a complex blend of dark fruit and earthy notes, but it did little to ease the turmoil in his mind. He took another sip, feeling the alcohol begin to cloud his thoughts."I can't believe this is happening," Ethan muttered to himself, running his fingers through his hair. "I'm the CEO of a successful company, and now it's all falling apart."His company had been showing a trend of continuous losses, and the shareholders were starting to get restless. Ethan knew he had to do something, but he couldn't think straight. The stress was eating away at him, causing him to lose sleep and appetite. He could feel the weight of the world on his shoulders, and it was getting heavier by the day."It's all Luna's fault," Ethan said, his voice growing louder. "She's the one causing all these problems."L

Amelia was in her dimly lit bedroom, the curtains drawn shut to block out the harsh afternoon sun. She sat on her plush velvet bedspread, her sweet face suddenly contorting into a scowl as she clenched her hands into tight fists. The soft fabric beneath her palms did little to absorb the force of her anger as she punched the air in front of her. "Ethan thinks he can buy me with his money," she muttered to herself, her voice barely above a whisper. "He has nothing better to offer."She could feel the heat rising in her cheeks as she licked her lips, tasting the salty tang of her own frustration. Amelia took a deep breath, inhaling the faint scent of lavender that lingered in the air from the candles she had lit earlier. She closed her eyes and tried to calm her racing thoughts, but it was no use. The frustration that had been building up inside her for weeks was like a volcano, ready to erupt at any moment.She picked up her cell phone from the nightstand and dialed a number, her finge

Charming the CEO Chapter 63: Wedding
The sun was shining brightly, casting a warm glow over the pristine white sand of the private island. Luna stood in front of the full-length mirror, admiring her reflection. She had never felt more beautiful in her life. The white lace wedding dress hugged her figure perfectly, accentuating her curves and making her feel like a princess. The delicate beading on the bodice sparkled in the sunlight, and the long train flowed behind her like a cloud. She took a deep breath, feeling a sense of calm and peace wash over her.As she applied the final touches of makeup, she couldn't help but think about her previous wedding. It had been a disaster, a day filled with pain and heartache. But she had made peace with her past, and today was a new beginning. She was determined to make the most of it and create happy memories with Eddie.Eddie arrived at the small cottage where Luna was getting ready, looking incredibly handsome in his black tuxedo. His hair was styled perfectly, and his eyes spark
Charming the CEO Chapter 62: Ethan Final
Ethan sat in the corner of his small, dingy cell, hunched over a bowl of flavorless rice porridge. He had been in this Thai prison for what felt like an eternity, and the bland food was starting to take its toll on him. He had vomited several times already, unable to stomach the tasteless mush.Just as he was forcing himself to take another bite, the sound of footsteps echoed down the hallway. Ethan's heart raced as the prison warden appeared in front of his cell. The man's stern expression told Ethan all he needed to know. His execution date had been set.Ethan felt the bile rise in his throat as the warden informed him that he had three months left to live. He couldn't believe it. He had always known that he was wrong, that he was an asshole. But he had never truly faced the consequences of his actions until now.Desperate, Ethan tried to bribe the warden with the little money he had left. But the man just laughed in his face. "You think your money can buy you a way out of this?" he
Charming the CEO Chapter 61: Auction
Eddie was already dressed in a tailored suit, his hair slicked back and a determined look in his eyes as he paced back and forth in the hotel room. Luna had just woken up, her hair tousled and her eyes groggy. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and sat up in bed, taking in Eddie's serious demeanor."What's going on?" she asked, her voice still thick with sleep.Eddie stopped pacing and turned to face her. "We need to prepare before we go to the auction," he said, his tone grave.Luna's eyes widened in understanding. "Right, the auction," she said, throwing off the covers and swinging her legs over the side of the bed.Eddie nodded. "I've made arrangements for us to go to a clothing store. It's one of the best in Paris and they have branches all over Europe. It's also my store," he added with a small smile.Luna raised an eyebrow. "Your store?" she asked, surprised.Eddie nodded. "One of many businesses I own. I figured it would be the perfect place to find you something to wear to the

Luna and Eddie sat on a bench near the police station, the cool evening breeze rustling the leaves around them. Eddie's eyes were fixed on the station, his mind racing with thoughts. Luna, on the other hand, was deep in thought, trying to piece together the mystery of why Lyra Thomson was working with the other, evil Lyra.Eddie turned to Luna, "Have you figured out what Lyra's plan is? What do you think she's going to do now?"Luna looked up, her eyes meeting Eddie's. "I think I have an idea. She took my necklace and ring, right? Maybe she's planning on selling them."Eddie's eyes widened in surprise. "That's a smart deduction, Luna.""You are right about that. And not only that, that Lyra has other plans regarding the jewelry she stole.""Yeah, but that's the jewelry we gave her..." Luna said quietly with guilt but Eddie gave a small laugh."Never mind that, it was our last wish to solve your problem"Luna smiled weakly. "We have to save her, Eddie. We can't let her get mixed up in
Charming the CEO Chapter 59: Evil Lyra
Eddie's heart raced as he quickly assessed the situation. Fifteen men had surrounded him and Luna, their eyes filled with malice. He could see the fear in Luna's eyes, but he knew he couldn't let it show. He had to protect her.Despite Eddie having taken down several people earlier, the thugs remained undeterred and showed no signs of fear.He took a deep breath and focused, his training kicking in. He knew he couldn't take on all fifteen men at once, but he could handle a few at a time. He scanned the group, looking for the weakest link.Two men stepped forward, their fists clenched. Eddie knew they were the ones he had to take down first. He braced himself, ready for the attack.The first man lunged at him, but Eddie was quick on his feet. He sidestepped the attack and delivered a swift kick to the man's ribs, sending him sprawling to the ground.The second man came at him with a roar, but Eddie was ready. He used his judo training to flip the man over his shoulder, slamming him int

Luna sank deeper into the bubbling jacuzzi, letting the warm water soothe her tired muscles. The private island was a paradise, and Ethan's house was the perfect getaway. She closed her eyes and let out a content sigh, feeling the stress of the past few weeks melt away.This is the best way to pamper yourself after the nightmare Luna had last night.After her bath, Luna wrapped herself in a fluffy towel and made her way to her room. She noticed a missed call on her phone from a number she didn't recognize. Curious, she dialed it back and waited for the other person to pick up.The voice on the other end was hysterical, sobbing uncontrollably. It took Luna several moments to realize it was Lyra Thomson, the owner of the flower shop she had visited with Eddie in the past."Lyra, what's wrong? What happened?" Luna asked, her heart racing.It took several minutes for Lyra to calm down enough to speak coherently. When she finally did, her words sent a chill down Luna's spine."It's Emily.
Charming the CEO Chapter 57: Eddie's Mother
The sun was setting, casting a warm golden hue over the pristine beach of Eddie's family's private island. Luna sat under a large umbrella, her toes digging into the soft sand as she watched the waves gently lap against the shore. She had always loved the ocean, its vastness and mystery a source of endless fascination for her.Luna's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps approaching. She turned to see Eddie's mother, a kind-faced woman with a gentle smile, making her way towards her. Luna stood up to greet her, feeling a little nervous. She had always been intimidated by Eddie's mother, who seemed to carry an air of authority and wisdom about her."Hello, Luna," Eddie's mother said, her voice warm and inviting. "I hope you're enjoying your time on the island.""Yes, thank you," Luna replied, smiling politely. "It's beautiful here."Eddie's mother took a seat next to Luna under the umbrella, her eyes scanning the horizon. They sat in silence for a moment, the sound of the
Charming the CEO Chapter 56: Break
After the hustle and bustle of dealing with problems, Luna could finally find some peace and tranquility. She had long awaited this moment on the private island owned by Eddie's family.The night sky was a canvas of twinkling stars, and the air was filled with a sense of tranquility. Eddie and Luna stood on the balcony of the big house on Eddie's family's private island, gazing up at the heavens. Eddie was adjusting the large telescope, while Luna waited patiently by his side.After all the trouble with Luna before, Eddie was relieved that they could finally relax and enjoy each other's company. He glanced over at Luna, who was looking up at the stars with a sense of wonder in her eyes. Eddie couldn't help but feel a sense of affection for her."There, it's all set up," Eddie said, stepping back from the telescope. "Take a look."Luna eagerly approached the telescope and peered through the eyepiece. She gasped as she saw the stars up close, their light twinkling brighter than ever bef
