Forced Marriage With The CEO Chapter 62
Layla’s POV I had a meeting with Ethan today, and I dropped Aria off at Annabeth's. Walking into Ethan’s office, I didn’t see him anywhere around. “Is he running late?” I said to myself I waited in his office for about an hour, and as I was about to leave. He walked in, looking surprised to see me. I should have called to remind him of the meeting. Ethan looked tired, and I knew something was wrong. I asked what was wrong, and Ethan explained that his father was ill. Going ahead, I informed him I was sorry and I hoped his Father would get well soon. I left the office bothered. I knew I couldn’t care less about Ethan, but I did. I went home and buried myself in work. Then proceeded to call Annabeth to check up on Aria. I needed to be sure Aria was okay. I called the bodyguard company to ask when they would resume, and they said they would resume the following day. Picking up my phone, I dialed Ethan’s line. It rang, but there was no response. “Maybe he’s busy,” I thought to

Ethan’s POV I drove back to my home thinking about so many things. If my father were dead, then lots of people would try to take or pull down his company. I needed to be strong and protect myself and Violet. I packed my car outside and entered to pick up Violet's key when a call entered. “Hello,” I said, not looking at the caller ID “It’s Lucas,” Lucas said “Is anything wrong, Lucas?” I asked “I should be asking you that question,” Lucas said “I heard your father is in the hospital. I hope he is doing better now,” Lucas asked I sighed and responded slowly “He is dead,” I said “oh my God, Ethan, I’m so sorry,” Lucas said “Thank you so much, I would inform you about the burial arrangements later,” I said “Okay, don’t hesitate to call me if you need anything,” Lucas said, and I ended the call. I looked through my phone and saw tons of missed calls. Layla also called me, and I would return her call when I settled. I thought about Violet and hoped she was coping well. I kne

Nicole’s POVI was inside the house when I heard Violet come.I wondered why she came by, and I knew they were not on good terms. I went towards them and tried to hear everything. I couldn’t believe my ears. If their father was that sick, why would he not tell anyone of them? I saw Ethan struggle to keep his cool. He walked in to pick up his keys and they both left. I picked up my phone to ask my mother for some money.“Hello, mummy,” I said over the phone“My darling daughter, how are you doing?” She asked“I need some money,” I said, going straight to the point“How much?” she asked“I’ll send the amount I need to you,” I told her and ended the callI dialed the investigator line and asked him to send his account and begin immediately.I needed to send some money to sedar. I sent the amount I needed to my mum and received an alert almost immediately.I took a nap and woke up by midnight. I came out to check if Ethan had returned and realized he hadn’t returned home to sleep. I use

Layla’s POVI left Richard’s house and drove down to the house. I didn’t have to worry about Aria as she was with Annabeth and in safe hands. I turned to Bridget to ask her if she was okay. She looked lost in thought, and I couldn’t help but wonder if it was about me.“Are you okay?” I asked Bridget“I’m fine,” Bridget said“Okay,” I said and drove home.I entered the house, and my phone started to ring again. I looked at the caller, and it was Lucas“Hi Lucas, I was going to call you back,” I said“Hello, Layla,” Lucas said“Is everything okay?” I asked“I just called to inform you that Ethan’s dad is dead,” Lucas said“Oh my God, I’m so sorry,” I said “I know, we all didn’t expect it,” Lucas said“I’ll call him now. Thank you so much,” I saidI ended the call and tried calling Ethan.I called and called, but he didn’t even pick it up. I called Violet, and she picked up.“Hello, it’s Layla,” I said over the phone “Hi Layla, it’s been a while,” Violet saidOf course, it had been a

Nicole’s POVI waited for the driver to pick me up. The horn made me realize the driver had arrived. I entered the car and told him to take me to my hospital.I wasn’t going to check or stop myself from getting pregnant. I wanted to check what was wrong with my body system. I had called the doctor ahead and went in for the appointment.The doctor did a series of tests and came back with a smile on his face.“Why are you smiling, doctor?” I asked“Congratulations,” the doctor said“Congratulations for what? I don’t understand,” I said“You are pregnant ma, two weeks gone now,” the doctor said“Wait, are you sure?” I asked“Of course, here is your test result,” the doct

Ethan’s POVI was grateful that Layla came to see me.“Have you eaten anything today?” Layla asked, and I realised I hadn’t taken anything“No” I replied“Have you eaten?” I asked“no, I haven’t,” Layla saidI offered to take us out for breakfast, and Layla agreed“Let me finish up with this document, and then we can leave”, I said“Okay” Layla respondedI buried myself with work, trying so hard to stay concentrated and not look at Layla.I finished up with work and stood up“Let’s go,” I saidLayla stood up just about that time and crashed into me.

Layla’s POV I was quiet throughout the ride in Ethan’s car. My mind kept drifting towards the kiss we had in his office. I wanted more when I shouldn’t. “Should I take you home?” Ethan asked “No, I want to pick Layla up at Annabeth; please drop me there”, I said Ethan asked if it was the same place he knew, and I told him it was. The rest of the drive was silent. Ethan arrived at Annabeth's and dropped me off. I waited till he left before entering the house. I knocked on the door, and the door swung open almost immediately. I met Annabeth, looking at me with accusations in her eyes. “What is it?” I asked “Is that not Ethan’s car?” Annabeth said, pointing at the road “Yes, it is”, I replied “Why did he drop you off?” Annabeth asked “Can I at least come in?” I said “Hmm… make yourself at home”, Annabeth said, making way for me to pass “Thank you,” I said and went in I sat on the couch and looked around for Aria. “Aria is upstairs with Cho”, Annabeth said, answering the qu

Nicole’s POV I wouldn't say I liked the fact that Sedar could call me anytime. I needed to gain my freedom, especially now that I am with a child. I grabbed some fruits on my way home. I had different cravings lately, and now I wanted fruits. I took a cab home. I arrived at the gates of the house and took a deep breath. and I knew I couldn’t explain to Ethan or tell him the truth about what was going on. I walked into the house quietly and met Ethan by the door. Ethan offered to carry the fruits and carried them to the kitchen. “Did you go to the hospital?” Ethan asked “yes, I did. The doctor said everything is fine”, I lied “Okay, are you fine?” Ethan His question took me aback. It sounded almost as if Ethan cared about me. “I’m fine,” I said and walked into my room. I received a text from Sedar and opened it to see the number of the man he promised me. I was happy; I was making progress, and I might finally get what I’ve always wanted. I ran the tap over my head and t

Forced Marriage With The CEO Chapter 159
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
Forced Marriage With The CEO Chapter 158
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
