Covering Up For The CEO Chapter 59
Nicholas' POVJust as the moment between Emily and me grew more intense, a sudden knock on the door shattered the heated atmosphere. Emily and I froze. Her breathing was heavy, her face flushed, her body still pressed close to mine.I sighed, pulling away reluctantly. "Stay here," I whispered before heading toward the door.When I opened it, Diana stood there, arms crossed, an annoyed expression on her face."Nicholas, don't tell me you're in here having fun while you left the most important thing unhandled," she snapped, her eyes flicking toward the room, already knowing Emily was inside.I leaned against the doorframe, rubbing the back of my neck. "Diana, not now," I muttered.She scoffed. "Not now? You haven't packed your things yet. Oh, but I see why, you were busy with Emily," she said with a smirk, her voice dripping with sarcasm.Emily shifted uncomfortably behind me, pulling the sheets over herself. Diana turned her gaze to her, narrowing her eyes."And you, Emily," she said s

Diana’s POVI leaned back in the car seat, staring out the window as the city lights blurred past. A satisfied smirk played on my lips."Good thing we left that house," I muttered, turning to Nicholas, who was focused on the road. "I couldn’t stand being there any longer, especially with Albert acting like I don’t exist."Nicholas scoffed. "You knew this would happen, Diana. You were pushing too hard. Now that you’re gone, what’s your plan?"I crossed my arms. "Simple. If Albert doesn’t divorce that low-life bitch Brielle, he’ll never see his baby after I give birth."Nicholas glanced at me, his grip tightening on the steering wheel. "You’re really going to keep his child from him?"I let out a short laugh. "Why not? He wants to play happy family with Brielle while acting like I don’t matter? Fine. But he won’t get to have both. He either chooses me and our child, or he loses us both forever."Nicholas shook his head. "You’re playing a dangerous game, Diana."I smirked. "I always do."

Albert’s POVI was still trying to keep my temper in check when the door to my office opened again. This time, it was Brielle.She stepped inside cautiously, her eyes flickering between my mother and me. There was tension in the air, heavy and suffocating. She must have felt it too because she hesitated before speaking.“Albert,” she said softly, “I was looking for you.”My mother let out an annoyed sigh, straightening her expensive coat. She picked up her purse from the chair beside her and turned to me.“Meet me later today after work,” she ordered, her voice clipped. “This conversation isn’t over.”She shot Brielle a cold glance before striding out of the office, her heels clicking sharply against the floor.Brielle exhaled as the door shut behind my mother. “I guess that was about Diana,” she said quietly.I raked a hand through my hair, feeling exhaustion creep in. “What else would it be about?”She nodded, walking closer. “Did she send you another message?”I leaned against my d

Emily’s POVI arrived at Nicholas’s office, expecting to see him at his desk, but the space was empty. My heart sank. Where could he be? He wasn’t answering my calls, and now he wasn’t even in his office.I sighed, frustrated, and turned on my heels. Maybe I was overthinking. Maybe he was just busy. Still, my gut told me something was wrong.Instead of leaving right away, I decided to stop by Albert’s office. As soon as I walked in, he glanced up from his desk and raised an eyebrow.“Emily, what brings you here?”For a split second, I panicked. I couldn’t tell him I came to see Nicholas, not when our relationship was still a secret. I forced a small smile.“I was actually just here to look around,” I lied.Albert leaned back in his chair, studying me. “Really? Since when do you take an interest in my office?”I shrugged, hoping he wouldn’t ask more questions. “I was nearby and thought I’d stop by.”He didn’t seem convinced, but he let it go. “Well, since you’re here, have a seat. You’

Rebecca’s POVTonight was important. It had been a while since I had my family together, and I wanted everything to be perfect. My dear friend Lucy sat beside me, sipping tea, as we waited for Albert to arrive."You seem excited," Lucy said, watching me with knowing eyes."Of course, I am," I replied with a smile. "It’s been too long since we all sat together for a proper meal."Lucy chuckled. "By ‘all,’ do you mean everyone… or just the ones you approve of?"I smirked but said nothing. We both knew who I truly wanted at this dinner.Before I could say another word, the door opened, and Emily walked in, her face lighting up as she saw me."Mom!" she called, rushing to hug me."Emily, darling!" I pulled her into a warm embrace. "You look wonderful."She giggled. "I missed you. It’s been too long since we had a family dinner."I nodded in agreement. "Exactly why I planned this."We chatted for a bit before the sound of a car outside caught my attention. I knew who it was. A moment later

Diana's POVI couldn’t believe what I just heard. My ears were ringing. My hands shook at my sides. I stepped forward, pointing a finger at Brielle like she had stolen something that belonged to me.“Albert!” I shouted, my voice loud enough to silence everyone in the room. “You can’t get this bitch pregnant! I’m supposed to be your wife! The only woman who carries your children!”Brielle flinched, but Albert stepped in front of her. That only made my anger rise higher.“She’s not a bitch, Diana,” he said, eyes narrowed. “And watch how you speak to her.”I laughed bitterly. “Oh, I see. Now you’re defending her? The same woman your mother doesn’t even like? The same woman who came from nowhere and suddenly has everything that belongs to me?”“Nothing belongs to you,” Brielle said softly, standing now. “Albert never promised you anything.”“You shut up!” I snapped. “You think this baby will keep you in his life? You think you're special because you’re pregnant? I’m pregnant too, and I’ve

Albert’s POVI looked at Brielle, still standing there quiet, still trying to make sense of everything I had said.“I know it sounds crazy,” I said, breaking the silence. “But there’s more to this.”She looked up at me, her eyes searching mine. “More?”I nodded slowly. “My plan wasn’t just to protect you, Brielle… It was also to send a message to Diana. She needs to understand that she can’t keep using that pregnancy to threaten me.”Brielle blinked. “Threaten you? What do you mean?”I sighed, pacing a little. “She told me, more than once, that if I didn’t leave you and marry her, she would make sure I never see the child. She said I would regret ever loving someone else.”Brielle’s eyes widened. “She said that?”“Yes,” I said with a bitter chuckle. “But I’m done being manipulated. I won’t let her use that child like a weapon. That’s why… when I said you’re pregnant, it shook her. It made her jealous.”“She really believed you?” Brielle asked.“Of course she did,” I said. “She left th

Diana’s POVAs soon as I got home, I slammed the door behind me.Nicholas was sitting on the couch in the living room. The moment he saw me, he smiled casually and said, “Hi Diana, you’re back already?”I didn’t say a word. I didn’t even look at him. My heart was burning with rage. I couldn’t believe what just happened at Albert’s mother’s place. I walked straight to my room and locked the door behind me.I threw my bag onto the bed and let out a loud scream. Everything inside me boiled with anger. My hands started shaking, and before I knew it, I was scattering everything on my dressing table, perfume bottles, frames, my mirror, makeup kits, everything flew to the floor and shattered.Glass broke, things crashed loudly, and I didn’t stop.How dare he.How dare Brielle.Nicholas started knocking on my door hard. “Diana! What’s going on in there?! What’s wrong with you?!”“Leave me alone!” I screamed at the top of my lungs. “Just go away from the door!”I heard him sigh, but he stayed

Covering Up For The CEO Chapter 74
Brielle’s POVAfter dinner, I could feel the tension in the air like thick smoke. My heart was still racing from the way Albert looked at Sophia. I hadn’t planned for things to happen like that. I wanted to explain it all in my own time, not like this.Albert was still sitting with my parents in the living room. Mama was trying to change the topic, talking about her garden and the neighbors, but I could see the storm in Albert’s eyes. He hadn’t said a word since Sophia called me Mommy.I quickly excused myself and walked toward the room Sophia had been staying in. My hands were shaking. I knew I had to explain everything soon, but first, I needed to calm Sophia. Maybe she was just excited and tired.I opened the door and stepped inside.“Sophia?” I called gently.She was lying on the small bed, curled up in her pink pajamas. Her teddy bear was by her side. But something felt wrong. I walked closer and placed my hand on her cheek.My heart dropped.She was burning up.“Oh my God,” I wh
Covering Up For The CEO Chapter 73
Brielle’s POVThe drive to my family home was quiet, but not in a bad way. Just peaceful. Albert kept one hand on the wheel and the other gently tapping to the soft music playing in the background. I looked out the window, feeling a mix of emotions.I was going home.But this time, I wasn’t going alone.As soon as we arrived, I opened the car door and stepped out, stretching a little. The air here smelled different. It smelled like childhood… like memories.Just as I bent to grab my bag from the back seat, I noticed Albert heading straight for the trunk. I raised my brows, confused, until I saw him pulling out his own luggage.“What are you doing?” I asked, watching him throw a strap over his shoulder.He glanced at me with a smirk. “Bringing my things inside.”“When did you even pack?”He shrugged like it was nothing. “You were busy getting ready, so I quietly packed mine too. I didn’t want to tell you. I thought it’d be a nice surprise.”I laughed softly. “You’re unbelievable. So yo

Brielle’s POVI stared at the message on my phone for a long time. My chest felt tight, like something heavy was pressing on it. I couldn’t breathe right.She’s tired of pretending. She’s asking about you again.My hands were shaking as I picked up the phone and dialed my sister’s number. She answered almost immediately.“Brielle?” she said softly.“Yeah, it’s me,” I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.“You saw my message?”“I did,” I said. “I… I’ll come around this week. I need to. I need to see her. I’ll spend more time with her.”There was silence on the other end, and then I heard my sister sigh.“She misses you, Brie. She keeps drawing pictures of you. She keeps asking when her ‘real mommy’ is coming. It’s getting hard to keep lying.”I wiped a tear from my cheek. “I know. I’m sorry. I’ve just been so caught up in everything. With Albert. With this new baby. With everything going wrong…”“Does he know?” she cut in.I swallowed hard. “No. Not yet.”“Brielle…”“I’ll tell him

Emily’s POVI looked at Nicholas’s message again and again under the table.“We need to talk. Urgent. Don’t let anyone see this.”My hands started to sweat. My heart was racing faster than it should. I couldn’t sit here any longer.“John,” I said softly, interrupting him in the middle of a sentence. “I’m really sorry, but something urgent just came up. I have to go.”His smile dropped. “Now? But we just…”“I know, I know,” I said, standing quickly. “It’s really important. I’ll explain later, I promise.”I grabbed my purse and walked out before he could ask more questions. I didn’t even wait for the waiter to bring the bill. I texted John a quick sorry as I rushed to get a cab.The whole ride to Nicholas’s new place, I couldn’t sit still. What was so urgent? Was something wrong? Or… was it about us?By the time I reached, my heart was thumping like crazy.Nicholas opened the door before I could even knock. His eyes softened the moment he saw me.“You came,” he said.“Of course I came.

Rebecca’s POVAs I sat by Brielle’s bedside, pretending to check on her, I could barely keep my thoughts in one place. I smiled at her, asked how she was feeling, nodded as she thanked me for the flowers, but none of that mattered to me. I wasn’t here for her. I was here to watch. To observe. To plan.When I finally left the hospital room, I headed straight for my car, slamming the door shut harder than I meant to. My blood was boiling.Emily.She thinks I don’t know. She thinks she’s clever. But I saw the way her hands shook when I asked why she was here. She wasn’t just checking on Brielle. Something else was going on.And I had a very strong feeling it had to do with him.Nicholas.That useless boy, Diana’s cousin. I never liked the way he looked at Emily. Too familiar. Too comfortable. And now, even after all my warnings, Emily was still sneaking around with him behind my back.I started the engine but didn’t drive off.No. This had gone too far.I couldn’t allow Emily to ruin eve

Rebecca’s POVI sat quietly in my room, sipping my tea and pretending to be calm. But my mind was burning with questions. I picked up my phone and dialed Albert’s number. I needed to pretend. I needed to act like a loving mother, concerned about my son’s wife. “Hello, Albert,” I said sweetly when he picked up.“Hi, Mom,” he replied. His voice sounded tired and low.“I just wanted to check on Brielle,” I said, making my voice soft and worried. “She didn’t look too well when I left your house. I’ve been thinking about her all evening.”Albert sighed on the other end. “Actually… we had to rush her to the hospital shortly after you left.”I sat up straight, my eyes narrowing. “What? What happened?”“She collapsed,” Albert explained. “But don’t worry. She’s getting better now. The doctors are taking good care of her.”I held my breath, then said carefully, “And the baby? Is the baby okay?”He paused for a second, then answered, “Yes. Both Brielle and the baby are fine. The doctors were a

Brielle’s POVI sat on the couch, holding my breath as the door closed softly behind Albert’s mother. The scent of the soup she made still lingered in the room, but I couldn’t touch it. My stomach twisted, not from hunger, but from confusion.She smiled at me. She hugged me. She even called me daughter.Was this real? Or just another trick?I kept staring at the soup, still unsure of everything, when Albert walked down the stairs. He looked calm, relieved even.“She really changed, Brielle,” Albert said, sitting beside me. “Did you see her? I’ve never seen her like that before. I think… Having a grandchild has always been her biggest wish. That’s why she was always so cold. Now that she believes you’re pregnant, she has finally let go.”I turned my head slowly, looking into his eyes. “Albert… What do we do now? You and I both know I’m not pregnant. How long can we pretend? What if she finds out the truth?”Albert became quiet. His eyes didn’t move from mine. Then he gently held my han

Rebecca’s POVI sat alone in my bedroom, sipping my tea slowly while staring out the window. The moonlight poured in through the curtains, but I felt nothing but rage deep inside me. That girl… that low-class nobody… Brielle. How dare she walk into my son’s life and ruin everything I had planned for years?I set my cup down gently and sighed. “I will have to arrange Emily’s marriage as soon as possible,” I whispered to myself. “It’s time to clean this house, clean this bloodline.”I stood and walked slowly to my dresser, opening a drawer filled with old letters and photos, memories of a time when I was the one in control. When nobody dared question me.“But first,” I said coldly, “I need to play nice. I need to pretend to be sweet and understanding to that bitch, Brielle.”I smirked. “Yes… I’ll smile to her face, talk gently, maybe even rub her belly and ask about the baby, but behind her back, I’ll be planning. She won’t even know what hit her. That baby will never be born. She doesn
