Her Ceo Husband Wants Her Time! Chapter 17. Escaping The House
KennyWhat was wrong with me? What was wrong with her?Sleep eluded me, and for good reason. I still had no intention of getting close to her, not even a little. But it seems that she felt the same. That filled me with an unknown emotion that was hard to describe. While sitting there with her, I expected to be annoyed with her presence alone. Yet each time she unwrapped a gift, each little comment she made wasn't enough to make me feel that way. Her eyes brightened when she smelled something she liked and narrowed when confronted with something she didn't understand.It might just be all in my head, but I saw what looked like disdain when she realized the truth about our wedding "gifts". I took off my T-shirt and resigned to sleeping half-naked. Mother and Father got what they wanted, I'm married now. When will they get it that what people think of me is none of my concern? People should be looking up to me for my intelligence, not looking down on me because of some stupid rumours.
Her Ceo Husband Wants Her Time! Chapter 18. My One And Only Family
CopperThe sunroom had a beautiful view of the outside. The garden can be seen from here. I couldn't care less about it.One of the maids gave me a blanket, which I gratefully accepted. My anger had died down since this morning, but my anger didn't.Another maid was kind enough to give me a simple chicken sandwich when I asked for something to eat. Well, maybe I shouldn't say kind. It was her job after all. But I appreciated that she didn't have an attitude about it like the maids I saw on TV. "You can tell my grandfather that I'm ready to go home now," I told one of the guards standing by. He shook his head. "Not yet, Miss. Mr. Harmony will be with you shortly."Of course, he will. But I don't want to see his face. Or his cane. Or even be in this house anymore.My anger boiled up again, walking hand in hand with my uncertainty. The guard must have seen the look on my face because he quickly cleared his throat and averted his gaze. "Uh, I just received word that your husband has jus

Copper"So that's the boy you got married to," Mom said after Kenny went outside. "He's not giving you any problems, is he?"I brought the used dishes to the sink. "Not at all. He's a little straightforward, but not too hard to handle. He didn't want this marriage either so we sort of understand each other."Except that he keeps his distance from me for some reason. However, I don't mind. As long as he doesn't behave childishly and take out his dissatisfaction on me, there won't be a problem."That's good." Mom chuckles. "He doesn't seem like the talkative type."I shrugged. "He speaks when he has something to say and only then. Quite an odd fellow, right?""You've got that right." She kept smiling. What was that about?"Mom? What's wrong?" She shook her head. "I just never thought that when you get married, it would be like this. This wasn't what I envisioned for you.""It's only for two years." I shrugged and added soap to the dishwasher. "Besides, there's always later. I never pla
Her Ceo Husband Wants Her Time! Chapter 20. His Real Love Is At Dinner I
Kenny While Copper met with her grandfather, I went to the sunroom and looked at the information my assistant sent me. Attached to his text is a link. I clicked on it. It brought me to a video. In it, the same woman who appeared at my wedding, whose name I don't even know, was kicked out of my family house that my father and his wife still live in. The people kicking them out are members of the security force hired by my family. The angle makes it look like a drone took a video. Anyone would think that the drone belongs to the press. Which makes sense. But I don't have the same thought. To me, all I see are my enemies working hard to take down my name. I can't wait to see who's behind this so that I can give them a very friendly slap on the face. I told my assistant to fire a private investigator without my father knowing. Just then, Copper enters the sunroom. "You're done here?" I look up and see the state of her face. Her eyes were red and slightly puffy. Her cheeks are also fl
Her Ceo Husband Wants Her Time! Chapter 21. His Real Love Is At Dinner II
Copper At first glance, she seemed like a simple lady with an outfit that covered her from head to toe. She had a small, round, childlike face that suited her big eyes. The makeup that she chose suited her facial features and added to that look of innocence with a sprinkle of maturity. Darling Stark, was it? I wonder why she's here. Darling brushed her wavy, black hair over her shoulder. I offered her the same smile I gave everyone else. "Nice to meet you, Darling. I haven't seen you before, are you from this area?" She shakes her head. "Not entirely. I was away for a little while, but I'm thinking of moving back soon. I hope that's no trouble to you, Miss Harmony." I raised my eyebrow. Why would that be a problem for me? I barely know her. "I can see you're confused." Georgina touches Darling's shoulder. "This here is Kenny's old love, the one whose place you're occupying right now." Darlng's smile broadened. "Yes, I can't wait to be reunited with him! I was hoping to see him t
Her Ceo Husband Wants Her Time! Chapter 22. Made Into The Villain
Copper I waited for her to do something, to scream, shout or try to insult me more, but she only smiled an eerie smile. "Yes, Mrs. Greenland. I understand perfectly." My face formed a frown. I know girls like Darling. They don't give up the fight so easily. Then again, maybe I didn't know her at all. Darling let out a scream so loud she pierced my eardrums. I covered my ears. "What the hell is your problem?!" "I have many problems, but you take the cake." Before I could blink, she dropped to the ground fake crying and holding her knee. That's not the only thing she does. Darling beats the area below her knee several times. "What the hell?!" I yelled, pulling her hand away. "Are you out of your goddamn mind?" My eyes widen in horror as she laughs. She rips her hand from my hold. "No, but I can be. Stand back and watch the fireworks, bitch." Footsteps hurry over to where we were. Darling returns to her previous state, still holding her knee. Caroline was the first one to arrive.
Her Ceo Husband Wants Her Time! Chapter 23. Such A Sensitive Soul
Copper I didn't know how to respond to him. I couldn't. All I could do was grip onto this pristine, white Oakwood table. What I didn't realize that night was that I was scared. Scared that when I tell him the truth, he will take Darling's side and accuse me of being jealous. He'd tell me that I was trying to stain Darling's name because I didn't like her. then he wouldn't listen to a word I say for the next two years, effectively destroying the peace I've worked to build between us. She's his love after all. In what world would he believe me when his "angel" says otherwise? He has never been the nicest person, but he might fully turn against me. But at the time, all I felt was a lot of conflicting feelings that I couldn't quite put into words. After a few deep breaths, I felt a bit calmer. Copper, I thought to myself. Going off on Kenny now would cause problems for me later. Besides, he didn't do anything. I combed my fingers through my hair and took one last, deep breath. I sp
Her Ceo Husband Wants Her Time! Chapter 24. I Want To Woo Her
Kenny "That's completely fine with me," I told her. My attention was on Copper, but I was watching Justin through the corner of my eyes. "I'll be home all day, so you'll see me when you get back. My friend is keeping me company." I gestured towards Justin with my hand, causing Justin to sit up properly so she could see him. "Oh." She blinked. Shortly afterwards, Copper formed a smile. "Hi! Sorry, I didn't see you there. Good morning, uh... Sorry, I don't know your name." "Justin." He smiled back. "Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you too, Justin. I'm Copper." She brought her gaze back to me. "I have my keys, so I'll let myself in when I come back. See you later, bye Justin.” “As, uh, same!” Justin fumbled through his words. By the time he finished talking, Copper had already made it to the front door. She closed it behind her. After she left, Justin looked back at me so fast that I thought he must have been trying to break his own neck. “Sooo, she seems nice,” he said. I

*Kenny* I grew annoyed with myself. This was not the time nor place for my sexual frustration to catch up with me. From what I could gather, Julia listened and pretended that we weren’t there. As long as we kept quiet, then it shouldn’t be difficult to go unnoticed. The problem with that was that I couldn’t guarantee I could maintain that position for much longer. Her scent kept flooding into my nose. Our eyes met. I stiffened. She mouthed something to me. “That’s not your stepmom, is it?” I thought twice about how much I should tell her. It’s not like she is actually a part of this family. If I lied to her then there wouldn’t be an issue. “No, it isn’t,” I decided to tell the truth instead. Copper nodded in acknowledgement, but instead of going back to looking at the door, she kept her eyes on me. I found myself subconsciously counting every lash, taking in her heated cheeks along with the stray hair that had detached itself from the rest when I pulled her in here. I fel
Her Ceo Husband Wants Her Time! Chapter 30. That Black Dress
KennyI remembered what my mother said. If there were any problems in Caroline's and his marriage, then I should tell her right away. Georgina had never had any respect for Caroline. I knew she gossiped with her friends as to how long their marriage would last. She delighted in seeing his life fall apart. And for the most part, I didn’t disagree with her.Up to this day, I didn’t know the reason for my parents’ divorce. They told me a bogus lie, something about them falling out of love, but it wasn’t enough. I’ve long since stopped trying to find out. But after seeing my father’s behavior firsthand in adulthood, I think I finally understood why.They were speaking to one of the store clerks. I recognized her as Mandy. “Give her whatever outfit she wants. Treat her well,” Hunter said with a smile. The words were directed at Mandy, but a flirty smile was targeted at that woman. The way he held her, her hushed conversations, and so tenderly she rubbed his arm told me that these two didn
Her Ceo Husband Wants Her Time! Chapter 29. Why Did She Marry Me?
KennyA woman dressed in a black tux approached us as soon as we entered the building. “Good afternoon, Mr. Greenland!” She bowed briefly to us both. “What a pleasure to see you once again! What are you looking for this fine evening?”I laid a hand on Copper’s lower back. “I’m just looking for something for my wife today. I’m thinking elegant, something that can help me show her off. Do you have anything like that in mind, Julia?”I could feel Copper tense but she didn’t say a word as she kept that smile on her face. Julia swept up Copper’s appearance, choosing to linger on her school uniform. It took only one look from me for her to stop. “Of course!” She quickly gestured for us to come further into the store. “This way! We received a new line of dresses not that long ago. I’m sure they will suit her quite well.”Copper and I followed her without complaint. Julia kept her face forward as if he was trying to hide her embarrassment. During our walk, my hand never left Copper back. T
Her Ceo Husband Wants Her Time! Chapter 28. Is He Tired Of Me?
*Caroline*I sat on the bed, bored out of my mind. But I had to stay here. He would be back soon and it had been a while since we slept together. When we first met, Hunter couldn’t keep his hands off me. And now, I could only silently wait until he was in the mood to receive affection. But I had to be patient. I couldn’t complain and make him upset. When we argued, I could feel him slipping through my fingers. I felt like I was losing him. That’s why I learned how to adopt a persona and attitude that would suit his tastes. With my freshly showered body in a white nightgown and my hair flowing over one of my shoulders, I tried to relax. Hunter entered the room. I smiled, feeling a huge weight off my chest. “Honey.” I got up. “You’re back! How was work?”Hunter gave me a swift nod. Instead of answering right away, he loosened the tie around his neck and walked over to the dresser. “It was fine. Did you talk to the salon owner about securing that dress you wanted?”He had yet to spar

Mary SueHe was wrong. I planned on getting away from him and quickly. Whatever he wanted from me wasn't good.I pushed my chair back. “If you leave, your full name, photo, address, and past job history will be posted on social media. Including everything you’ve done while working these… ‘acting gigs’. I have a strong feeling that I’m not the only one who wants to find you.”Gingerly, I sat back down. “I don’t know who you think you’ve found, but I was only leaving because some weirdo is acting like he knows me.”“Are you saying I don’t know you, Mary Sue?” He looked into my eyes. “I mean, you made such a fuss at my wedding. Don’t you want to talk about child support?”I swallowed a ball of spit. Sealing myself, I asked, “What do you want from me?”“Tell me who you’re working for,” he stated plainly. “And what they want with me and my family.”I scoffed. “Right, ‘cause everything is about you. I swear, you rich people make me sick.”The bell above the door rang. I stiffened, thinking

Copper I gave him a polite smile. “I’m fine. Kenny just let me know. What perfect timing.”His smile returned to his face. “Oh, yeah. He isn’t the best at communication.” He laughed and scratched his head, but it seemed forced. After getting no reaction from me, he cleared his throat and opened the passenger door. Once again, I smiled at him and entered. The ride was silent, but not in a peaceful way. I could tell that behind that smile Justin was struggling to say something. The windows were rolled up and the a/c was on, giving us complete privacy.“Do you want some music? I have plenty of new songs in storage so you can play anything you like,” Justin suggested. It would put the silence to rest but I didn’t feel like it. At least not here. I liked listening to music when I had the quiet and peace to enjoy it. There is no way I could get into the mood here.“No thanks,” I said. “I’m fine like this. But if you want to play something I won’t mind.”“You don’t need to worry about me,
Her Ceo Husband Wants Her Time! Chapter 25. Why Is He Here?
CopperI raised my eyebrow. “I’m pretty sure I just told you.”“No, like…” Emily tapped on her bottom lip. “Everyone who’s anyone knows all the things I just told you. It’s not realistic that you claim to be from the Harmony family and yet not experience any of the benefits having that kind of money brings.”Oh, I see. That’s what it is. I kept my calm. “I haven’t lied, if that’s what you’re insinuating. I simply wasn’t raised to be concerned about that stuff.”“Yeah, I bet,” Emily giggled. Sabrine reached forward and whispered into her ear loud enough for me to hear.“I bet she’s some poor scholarship student who’s lying about her last name to seem interesting. If that’s not the case, she’s probably the daughter of a staff member. The ones that clean up after the important people.”I could feel my anger rising to the surface. I breathed in, then breathed out. I’m not at my old school anymore. I made a promise to my grandfather and my parents that I would be on my best behavior. Being
