Ethan had a way with the kids, and I left him to play with them. I called Bridget to the room.
I decided to use the time to finish my work and called to inform them I was still on top of my game. Bridget assisted with all the work, and we finished on time.
“Send me the file on the partnership,” I said to Bridget.
Bridget nodded and sent all the documents associated with the partnership. I looked through it and sent it to the headquarters.
“I need you to resume work from tomorrow” I stated
“Work? I don’t understand,” Bridget replied
“Yes, we need a representative there” I explained
“Okay, I would be resuming as what?” Bridget asked
“You would be resuming as the secretary&rdquo

Ethan’s POV Layla looked so happy driving my car, and I relaxed watching her enjoy it. We arrived at the station quickly, and I commended Layla for her good-driving skills. I noticed Layla was getting nervous again and came down from the car to help her. I held Layla’s hands as we walked into the station and met with some officers. I explained the purpose of the visitation, and the officer directed us into a waiting room. “Visiting time is in twenty minutes, and you can wait here”, the officer said and left. I looked at Layla, and we both burst into laughter. I didn’t remember that there would be a visiting time, and the look on Layla’s face showed that she didn’t remember either. I burst into laughter at the realisation. Layla looked at me with a straight face, and I could tell she was trying to hold it in. “What do we do for the next twenty minutes?”Layla asked staring at me “Anything you want, I’m done”, I let out with a smile. “Well, I don’t think we should leave” Layla re

Ethan’s POVAria pulled me upstairs to play, and I followed happily.“Daddy,” Aria said, pausing at the door.“What is it?” I asked, faking confusion “Close your eyes, Daddy,” Aria said, jumping excitedly.It was hard to figure out what it was all about, but I decided to play along and act accordingly.“It’s closed,” I stated “Are you sure?” Aria asked, and I could tell she was peeking to see if I closed my eyes.“Yes, I can’t see anything,” I repliedAria pulled me into the room suddenly and asked that I open my eyes. I opened my eyes slowly, and Aria presented me with a painting.The painting had a figure that I thought was me and another that should be Layla and Aria standing in between.“This is nice, baby,” I said with a smile.Aria came closer to explain each person in the painting to me. Aria pointed at each figure happily, and I smiled.“I love it,” I said, and Aria blushed sheepishly.I heard a knock on the door, and I opened it. Cho stood outside the door, looking nervous.

Layla’s POVBridget walked in with a handful of bags, smiling happily. I walked up to her carry the bags to the room.“Did you see a lot of nice wears?” I asked“Yes, I did, and I got something for you, too,” Bridget said, dipping her hands into one of the bags.I waited patiently to see what Bridget bought, and I was handed a nice bag.“This is beautiful,” I stated, turning the bag around to check it out.It was a limited edition bag that I had always wanted to have. I felt lucky to have it given to me without stress.“Thank you so much,” I said to Bridget, hugging her.“It’s nothing compared to all you have done for me,” Bridget replied, and I released her from the hug.I suddenly remembered my conversation wit

Ethan’s POV“Are you alright?” I said, walking over to Layla.“Yes, I’m fine”, Layla replied absentmindedly I wrapped my hands around Layla, and she placed her hands over me, relaxing into my embrace.“You need to always open up to me, Layla”, I said, holding Layla gently. Layla nodded in agreement, and I expected an explanation.“I got a call from Japan”, Layla explained “Okay, from who?” I replied, removing my hands from Layla’s and facing her.I knew who Layla spoke to over the phone, but I wanted her to tell me by herself to show that Layla trusted me.“It’s Charlie, Bridget’s boyfriend”, Layla stated truthfully, making me happy.“Hmm… I guess Charlie must be missing his girlfriend already,” I said, grinning.“Yes, I might have to send Bridget back sooner than expected”, Layla let out with a frown“How soon?” I asked, worried about the impact it would have on Layla. “Most likely, in a few weeks, I feel Bridget would also be missing him”, Layla stated, and I agreed.I saw it as

Layla’s POVI dropped the children off at school and drove to Ethan’s place of work. I entered the office, and the workers stared at me like ghosts. Ignoring the stares, I walked into Ethan’s office and saw him with Bridget having a discussion.“You didn’t tell me you were coming by”, Ethan said, getting up to come to me.“I didn’t know I was going to come by. I thought about it on the way,” I replied with a smile.Bridget was so engrossed with work that I tapped her lightly to announce my presence.“Boss, I didn’t know you were there,” Bridget said “It’s fine, continue with work” I stated“okay”, Bridget responded, walking out of the office.“I missed you,” I said to Ethan Ethan grinned, and I could see his face light up. I looked at the time to be sure I wasn’t disturbing anything.“I hope I’m not disrupting any of your schedule”, I let out with a slight frown.“Of course not. I’m free for the next hour”, Ethan replied, smiling“Okay, I won’t be long. I have to head home to be wi

Layla’s POV“Speak up,” I said calmly, and Aria moved closer.“We want to have ice cream”, Aria replied slowly. I heaved a sigh of relief. I thought something had happened, and the children kept it away.“Ice cream, why do you want ice cream?” I asked, driving out of the schoolAria folded her hands and pouted like a baby, and I chuckled.“We’ll get ice cream; stop looking at me like that” I started heading to an ice cream shop.“Yay!” Aria shrieked and Cho smiled.“If I buy you this ice cream, you must not cause any trouble at home,” I said, and Aria nodded in agreement.I drove into the lot and asked the children to follow me into the shop.Aria came out and held Cho's hands, and I watched them go in front of me. We entered the shop and ordered ice cream. While we waited for the ice cream, I asked the children to tell me what happened in school, and they took turns explaining what their teacher did, and I laughed.The waitress called us to take our ice cream, and I went to pick it

I guided her to the bed and made her sit down. I patted Bridget’s back gently as she sniffed.When Bridget finished crying, she looked at me, and I smiled.“Thank you,” Bridget said, returning the smile.“You are welcome, Bridget. Please tell me what is going on,” I said, pleading“Charlie had an accident this morning”, Bridget said, bursting into another round of tears.Surprised I couldn’t say anything, I looked at Bridget and saw how broken she was. “Is he fine?” I as

Ethan’s POVLayla drifted off to sleep right after taking her bath. I patted her, watching her closely. Layla looked troubled, and I hoped that she would open up and tell me what was wrong, but Layla could be stubborn.I woke up the following day, and Layla lay beside me, sleeping peacefully, careful not to wake her. I tiptoed to the bathroom and turned on the shower.“Ethan”, Layla called, and I knew the shower woke her up.“Yes, I’m in here”, I replied, shouting so she would hear.“I’ll be in Aria’s room to prepare her for school”, Layla said “Okay,” I said and continued washing my body.I came out of the bathroom and cleaned up. I hadn’t been to work and decided to wear a nice outfit. I opened the wardrobe and pulled out one of my favourite suits and wore it. I contemplated wearing a tie and finally decided on wearing a tie.

Ethan's POV Layla held Aria's hand as they walked through the toys section of the mall, happily grabbing everything that caught Aria's eyes. It was good to be free again, to not be watching over our backs. It had been two months since Sedar was finally caught and even know it still felt unreal. He was such a nuisance for so long it was weird with him gone. All the drama we went through because of him. I remember Layla suggesting we go to Nicole out of desperation and frustration and to be honest I was about to give in but I knew good would come of exchanging oke devil for another. We decided to not go that far and I was grateful we didn't, unfortunately even if we wanted to it was too late. Layla got a call from a family about two weeks later that Nicole had ended her own life. The warden said she was constantly screaming to be let out and that someone should call me or Layla but they didn't because that was unreasonable. A while after she hung herself. Layla was frozen to t

Layal's POV"Okay." Annabeth's weak response came from the other side of the phone. Thank heavens maybe my little speech had knocked some sense into her."Okay? so you'll come stay here right?" "Not yet, I'll stay with a friend for a while. I want to stay with you guys but I can't risk messing up your lives even more." she sounded tired and I decided to let this matter rest for now. "Which friend?, where's Derek?", he had taken her home but he never called back so I guessed he was still with her."He left a while ago."He left?! Could he be any more of an asshole. He comes, drops a bomb like that leaves the two of us in a mess and then just drops her at home to be by herself. What was all the love talk about if this was all he could do. "He left you like this?" I was really starting to direct the anger i fel towards Derek, which obviously wouldn't end well. "It's not like that, i asked him to leave me alone. He kept apologizing when he wasn't at fault and I knew letting him see me
Forced Marriage With The CEO Chapter 157
Layla's POV Watching Annabeth leave felt like my world came crashing down on me. I couldn't believe my eyes when Derek showed me that picture, immediately my mind clicked and made the connection it was like my brain just went into autopilot. It felt like the cinema all over again, realizing that Sedar had been so close to me again, I had been so close to death. I was thankful for Ethan who caught me before I fell, God knows him being there was what helped me calm myself down. Then Annabeth had started her meltdown, I had expected a shocked reaction but not something of that intensity, she looked like we just told her, her entire life was a lie. "Annabeth wait." When I had tried to grab her when she dashed upstairs she basically pushed me away and snatched Cho. My reaction to that was slow, what had I done wrong? I was in as much shock and disorientation she was feeling so why was I the one getting this reaction from her. To be honest I was disappointed that Ethan just stood ther
Forced Marriage With The CEO Chapter 156
Ethan's POVI watched silent as Annabeth took a pause from her episode took a breathe and look at us, she seemed more composed but still rattled up. "I've got to leave." She said I shot off up the stairs"Why? Where are you going?" Layla called after her and follow her up.I turned to Derek, in less than a minute he'd wreak absolutely havoc on us all. This is why I didn't involve Layla in my conversation with Lucas, I didn't see her as weak, no but I also knew that certain matters are delicate so they should be handled delicately. "When did you figure it out?" "Last night. I was going to tell you guys first but..." I raised a hand to cut him off, it didn't matter if he wanted to tell us earlier or not what did matter was that we had found Sedar and he was awfully closer than we thought, this entire time."Wait, just wait." The sound of a door shutting and hurried steps called out attention. Annabeth was basically running down the steps with Cho is her arms, she was leaving with h
Forced Marriage With The CEO Chapter 155
Ethan's POVI could hear the noise increasing slowly from downstairs, I had warned Layla this would happen. I tried to ignore it at first but then they had to be shouting for me to be hearing them this clearly. I put my laptop aside, stretched my limbs and walked downstairs. I got there to find Layla, Derek and Annabeth sitting round the dinner table, Layla's eyes were already in my direction by the time I reached them. She had most likely heard me coming. The discomfort they were putting her through was very evident on her face. I was already pretty much irritated, trying to work and being disturb by meaningless quarrel was very annoying. "I warned you." I said in my head as I looked at Layla, I was definitely going to rub this in her face later."You two know you're in another man's house right? A man who's trying to get work done and who has kids upstairs." They both shut and sat frozen with their eyes fixed on me. Personally I would have just kicked them out there and then. I

Layla's POV"It's nothing really, I just felt like maybe he was right" she waved her hand dismissively."Who?" "Derek", shit what had he said again"What did he say again?" I felt my fist instinctively clench, I was starting to feel like Annabeth was actually right in this. "Again, nah he said it when he brought you over to my place. That you had issues too and I was acting like my man drama was the center of the world." She looked to the side, it was obvious she was hurt by it.That was too much, this had gotten way too much. "Give me a second." I grabbed my phone and marched upstairs."Where are you going?" "I'll be right back." I barged into the room and Ethan looked at me confused."What's gotten into you?" "I'm going to interfere. I'm calling Derek to come over right now so I can settle whatever this is that they have going on." His eyes widened in shock and he shook his head, "Don't Layla. You sure you want to be in the cross hairs of whatever it is they have going on?"
Forced Marriage With The CEO Chapter 152
Layla's POVThe house had been on lockdown for the past two days, yes, because of Sedar and also because Ethan was an overly protective person. Did I like being locked up in here all day? No. Could I do anything about it? Also no. All that could be done was wait it out and pray it needed soon. Ethan also worked from home to keep me company and lessen the agony of my situation. I told him numerous times that he could go to work and I'd just ask Annabeth to come over but I guess he saw through that lie. I was just looking for a way to get him out of the house so I could sneak out. His maid, America brought us all of the groceries and supplies we needed so there was no way to use needing to go shopping as an excuse. It was nice to be cared for but this was pretty much the same feeling that made me move out in the first place, unfortunately this time that wasn't an option."What is on your mind?" Ethan asked, this question snapped me back into the reality, I looked around, yep still stu
Forced Marriage With The CEO Chapter 151
Ethan's POVI watched her step into Derek's car and drive off, I didn't exactly like the idea of her being out in the open after seeing Sedar stalking us but there was no winning an argument with Layla, the best I could do was give her a curfew to be back home. I called Lucas when she left, she was right about us needing to find the leak in our whereabouts that Sedar was tracking is with. "Didn't we just get off the phone?" He said sarcastically."I'm calling about Sedar. Again." "Did he show up again?" "No, but you remember how we talked about finding out how he knew where we were. Well Layla has a theory about it, she thinks it has something to do with Annabeth. Apparently all the times Sedar has showed up unexpectedly were when she went to places she'd already told Annabeth she was going to." "Was Annabeth the only one she told? That's a pretty wild assumption." He sounded skeptical, which was reasonable. Even I thought it was a shaky suspicion."No but she's the only common p

Layla's POV "What do you want me to say. Oh hey don't date whoever that creep is. I love you. Is that it?" I just stared at him, what the heck was that? So what he loved her now?. He stared back at me like a moron and then his expression softened and I took as a sign he realized he'd just lashed out at the wrong person."I am sorry." He did his puppy dog eyes look."I'd love to say it's fine but it's nothing, you two really need to take a minute and sit down to talk." The rest of the ride was absolutely silence, he walked me to the door and kept apologizing for the way he acted but all I did was nod. "What happened between you two?" Ethan saw the look on my face when I stepped in."More like what the heck is happening between two of them" I threw my bag on the couch and fell into his arms "Who are we talking about right now?" "Derek and Annabeth." "Oh, those two. Wait, they're still at it? I thought it would be over by now. Aren't they taken it a bit too far?" Even Ethan notice
