“Welcome to Yokohama, Japan.” The plane announced just starting to land.
I blinked awake realising I had fallen asleep with my head resting against the window in a very uncomfortable position.
Tears singed around my eyes. I had done it. I was out of Tokyo, far from Ethan, far from Nicole. Far from everybody that wished me dead.
It was time to put my past behind, where it belonged.
I teared up a little when I remember Drake and Anmabeth. Even if I decided not to tell her, she would know soon enough.
Drake promised that he would cover up all my tracks. I had nothing to worry about back in Tokyo. They wouldn't find me unless I did something stupid.
Right now, I was as tired as fuck. I had to round off everything concerning my identity tonight. Drake told me where to go. Then warned me not to cont

«Layla»Five years later...Sakura mountain academy.A black sports car drove into the building. It parked soundlessly in the building. The door opened and a pair of combat boots landed softly on the grass.A strong and powerful woman stepped out tasking off her dark shades and literally radiating cool. Her sleek black palazzo trousers matched perfectly with the blue tank top donned over a white crop top.Earings dangled on either sides of her ears and chain necklaces along with splashes of gold decorated her outfit. A tattoo covered the left side of her neck giving her the don't fucking mess with me look.Two body guards stood at her side and about four cars of excorts drove in behind them parking around and keeping the screaming fans away.A little girl with blonde locks rushed out of the crowd of children in t

«LAYLA POV»I stood at the villa reading through the checklist, ensuring I didn't forget anything. I didn't know how long this mission would take, but I would be prepared for the worst. A couple of months, I estimated silently. After all, it wasn't us clinching the partnership. I just stood there as a representative and made the pros and cons known to whoever CEO he was. The oldster still hadn't disclosed the information to me. I didn't have an idea who or where to meet in Tokyo. According to them, there would be no spoilers. “Let me help you with that, miss,” One of the maids approached me, offering her help with the list. “It's fine. I got this,” I replied, waving her off. I liked doing things myself. And even at that, I was at the last item anyway. “You could focus on Aria instead,” I said. She nodded, backing away. I slipped into a Nike canvas and donned a coat as I walked out of the room, holding my suitcase under one hand. A private helicopter was waiting for us. I smil

Ethan’s POV I stood at the airport waiting with so much anticipation and excitement, and I couldn’t place why. Is this because I had always wanted to meet this powerful woman? “I hope she meets my expectations,” I muttered to myself. The helicopter glided to the ground, and I watched intensely as the doors opened and a familiar lady came down. Walking behind her was a little girl who looked like she was five, beside another lady and a man. Together with her escort, she walked up to me, and for a moment, my heart stopped beating. “Could this be real?” I thought to myself. With so much confidence, she said, “I’m Ashley LW of the Ashley Tech company Yokohama,” and politely greeted me formally. Did she pretend to be meeting me for the first time? Am I hallucinating? Different thoughts ran through my mind, but I composed myself and said, “ LW… Layla Wales…. I should have known.” my eyes drifted off to the little girl behind as I examined the resemblance between them. Pulling me awa

Nicole’s POVI sat at the office, wondering if Ethan would ever see me as more than a mistress. The thought of how he pushed me away the day before made me so furious. I have done so much to make him mine, and I was not about to back down anytime soon.I jolted back to my senses as I heard my phone ring. “hello,” I responded absentmindedly, and the next voice I heard made me scared. “I haven’t seen the money,” Sedar said to me. “ I’m still trying to raise it. I beg of you, I’ll send it to you before the day runs out”. “and when do you plan to send yourself?” he said with a chuckle. Irritated and on the verge of tears, I told him, “Tomorrow,” And click the line was dead.Why did Layla have to disappear? I thought within me everything was going well and according to plan, and she had to mess everything up for me. “Damn you,” I muttered to mys

Layla POV I came out of the restaurant and walked straight into my cab. The audacity Ethan had to talk down at me perplexed me. “Take me to this address,” I told the cab man, pointing a paper to him. I needed to see my friend Annabeth. I prayed within me that she would forgive me as I dozed off. “We are here, madam,” the driver said. He was waking me from my sleep. “Thank you,” I said as I alighted from the cab. I looked at the house and hesitated for a while. I finally summoned courage and walked towards the door. I knocked as I held my breath. The door opened, and a beautiful young girl looked at me and said, “ Aunty Layla?” “Cho?” I asked “Yes, it’s me, Aunty Layla,” she said as she burst into tears. I also burst into tears and heard a voice say, “Layla?” “Annabeth,” I said amidst tears, and I couldn’t help but jump at her. “I missed you so much,” I said to her “I miss you too,” Annabeth said “I’m so sorry; I didn’t mean to leave you alone without any explanation,”

Ethan’s POVI left the office angry and went home. On getting home, I couldn't get any sleep. I decided to do some work, but I still couldn't concentrate.I knew I was still attracted to Layla and had realized I loved her when I couldn’t bring myself to dissolve the marriage in her absence. I hated her for making me feel this way. I hated her for leaving me for another man. I hated myself for not being enough.The sound of my phone brought me back to reality. I wondered who it was as I picked it. “Hello?” I said… “Violet is going to be released tomorrow,” the voice at the other end said and clicked the call ended.I wondered who gave me such information and knew about another drama, to begin with Violet returning from jail.Violet had gone to jail because I exposed her to illegal activities and also because she made an attempt to end my life. She must be so angry, I thought within me.I heard sounds from the other end of the room and knew Nicole was up to something again. I suspecte

Nicole’s POV “Okay, baby,” I said as I walked out of Ethan’s office I went to my desk and started to type a notice to inform Layla we were no longer interested in the partnership. There was no way in hell I would watch her walk back into his life. I needed to separate them as soon as possible. I printed a few copies and sent the mail to Layla and also called a dispatch to send a hard copy. “Yes,” I said to myself. I finished all my work and called a cab. I received a text on my way home and opened my phone to read it. It was from Sedar. I looked at the new location and hissed. Sedar had a way of getting under my skin. I knew I had to do his bidding before explaining the plan to him. I got home and went straight to bed. I knew Ethan wouldn’t bother coming to check on me. It was more like I meant nothing to him. I was determined to make him mine. I began to touch myself slowly, imagining it was Ethan. I caressed my breast slowly and moaned. I put my hands into my pants an

Layla’s POV A soft tap from Drake made me realize I had gotten home. “Thank you so much, Drake,” I said and gave him a peck. “ You are most welcome,” Drake replied. I got out of the vehicle and walked towards the door. Before I could press the bell, the door opened, and Aria ran to hug me. “Welcome, Mummy,” Aria said “ Thank you, my baby,” I said, lifting her up “Welcome home,” Bridget said “ Thank you,” I said, walking in. I saw a file on the table and asked what it was about. “A dispatch brought it later today, saying it was for you,” Bridget responded. I looked at the file and saw a stamp. “Why would Ethan send over a file,” I thought. I opened the file and read its contents. “This must be a joke,” I said out loud “What is in it?” Bridget asked “Look through it,” I said, passing it to her. I watched as her expression changed. “Mummy, is everything okay?” Aria asked, looking concerned. I looked at my concerned daughter and rubbed her hair. “Yes baby, everyth

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
Forced Marriage With The CEO Chapter 153
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
Forced Marriage With The CEO Chapter 150
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
