[ Claire ]“Claire, I am sorry if I have crossed my lines but your question is irrelevant here. We met three days ago. How can you make assumptions?” His eyes twitched, he looked hurt.“I..I..am sorry. It came out wrong but I don’t know how to explain this but I feel like our pasts are connected. I feel it with Travis and Ryan as well, why? I haven’t felt it with anyone else.” I threw my hands in air as my frustration grew because I am feeling lost.“I understand your confusion with your past, Claire and I am here to help you with everything but we don’t know each other. Do not stress yourself and ruin the chances of a future because you want to be stuck in the past.” Tristan said, his features softened.I ran my fingers through my hairs, “It’s easy for you to say, Trisan but it’s my life and I don’t know who I used to be? Whom am I missing in my life? You haven’t gone through it so you won’t understand how it feels to be lost and there’s no one who can help you to find the answers yo

[ Claire ]“Miss Jones, we agree that you want to re-apply the old rules and want to raise the wages of our fourth class employees but you can see, we can’t afford to cut the budget of our senior employees, who are the backbone of our company. They work really hard to keep up with the present day’s competitive market.” One of the board members, who is also a very good friend of my father said during the board meeting the very next day.“I agree with you, Mr. Gabe but our workers, who work in the factory are our real backbone. They don’t complain and come to their shift on time, never takes day off because they have to look after their family’s needs. They are always scared of losing their jobs, that’s why they work with honesty but the problem persists with our upper system. They know, any MNC may hire them if they quit their jobs here and they’re taking undue advantage of our current crisis. I have shortlisted a few names. You can check their recent performance and then decide, why m

[ Claire ]Finally, the big day has come, the convention hall owned by Pierce family is the centre of buzz. It was decorated like a new bride. Thomas and Tristan left no stone unturned to make it a memorable event for the city. The invitations were sent to only two hundred exclusive guests, many influential names were out of the list which made it more of a sensation and curiosity is at its peak.“Mom, how am I looking?” Travis, who checked himself for the millionth time in the mirror asked me.I tilted my head to his side while I was checking posts on the social media about the party. He was wearing a black tux, matching his father’s and a maroon shirt, matching my dress.“The most handsome man of the evening. Trust me, Travis. You’re looking dashing.” I complimented him and a blush crept on his face.“If you’re saying, I believe you.” He said and adjusted his bow looking in the mirror like an adult which made me laugh.“How am I looking? You haven’t complimented me yet, bud.” I narr

[ Claire ]“Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope you are enjoying this evening. We’re glad that you all became a part of our celebration as we mark the beginning of our new journey.” Tristan addressed our guests over the microphone.The spotlight was on three of us, the flashes of cameras almost blinded me.“Tonight, I am feeling extremely happy to make two announcements. You all already know that I am blessed to marry this woman, standing by my side.” He turned to me with a smile, I was feeling really overwhelmed.The air echoed with clapping. They were the same people who witnessed the biggest humiliation of my life. Tristan was right, it depends on us how we use it for our benefit. I was standing beside the most influential man of the city, it changes my identity.“Meet my wife, Claire Jones Pierce and the CEO of Jones & Co. The second announcement is more exciting not only for us but also for all my friends in our world.” Tristan paused and this time my curiosity also piqued. What could b

[ Claire ]It took me time but I helped myself to converse efficiently with all the guests, I made sure that as a host, I give them equal attention. I answered their questions carefully, yet most of them see me as an incapable leader and believe that my father should take over the charge of the company since I had no experience of running a business which made me question my abilities.“Mrs. Pierce, I see how you’re glowing tonight.” I heard the familiar voice and I turned only to come face to face with Ryan Bale, standing a feet away from me holding a his drink. There was a smug look on his face.“Mr. Bale, I wonder why my husband invited you because it’s not a business party and he wasn’t obliged to keep a cordial relationship with you.” I approached him confidently.It wasn’t my father’s house where he’d have leverage over me.“So feisty? I fall more for you when you try to bite back, kitten.” He smirked and I wanted to puke how dirtily he commented on me like I was a piece of meat

[ Claire ]We talked very less since our last encounter at the party. He announced our collaboration without my permission or even discussing it with me but I could see visible change in the attitude of the senior officers in my company who used to express their dislike for me, now treats me with respect and seem eager to be a part of every decision making.Three days passed. I spent most of the time at office since my workload doubled with the responsibilities. I don’t even get chance to eat properly, let alone dwelling in my personal life’s turmoil. But I know, I can’t avoid a conversation with him for long, sooner or later, I have to face him.A soft knock on the door diverted my attention from the computer screen to Miss Kim, who was standing at the door.“Miss Kim, please come in, sorry I was totally engrossed in the new products’ quality check and various levels of testing, all the results look good. Let’s do the tasting tomorrow.” I smiled tiredly at her and yawned.“Ma’am, are

[ Claire ]“The food is really delicious. I have never come to such place before and it’s my bad luck that I have been deprived from such heavenly tastes and flavours.” Tristan, who was eating like a whale, commented as we proceeded on a dessert stall.“I told you. These street food stalls are my stress buster but be careful, everyone is looking at you. It’s not everyday when a billionaire walks among them.” I pointed at groups of people who were gawking at him, mostly girls which didn’t set well with me.“Why? Are you jealous, Mrs. Pierce?” He smirked as he noticed those females“Me and jealous? Dream on, Mr. Pierce.” I rolled my eyes but I literally choked on my dessert when a passing by woman winked at him.“Hey! Can’t you see that he’s married?” I yelled at her from behind.“Someone was saying that they’re weren’t jealous a moment ago.” He cleared his throat and I felt like the earth should swallow me alive.“I am not jealous but she was indecent. How can she flirt openly with a m

[ Tristan ]Numbness is what I felt at the bottom of my heart. My father was gone in a blink. I had left him fine, reading newspaper in the garden and talking with the maids, and now, his coffin was being lowered in the ground right in front of my eyes.Reality dawned upon me.I am officially an orphan. The man who guided me in every step of life, gave love of both parents while dealing with his own loneliness, he is no more. I won’t be able to seek his guidance or share my problems over a glass of bourbon.I didn’t realise when tears rolled from my eyes when they began to fill the grave.“Tristan.” Claire’s soft voice and her gentle tap on my shoulder forced me to tear my gaze from the grave to her.She was also crying silently. There were many people, they came to say their last goodbye to a great man but I felt all alone.After the final prayer. Everyone passed their condolences to me before leaving one by one, the sky began to turn dark as evening grew into night. We buried Dad. I

I Married A CEO Dad Epilogue
[ Alicia ]Three years, it has been three years since I tied the knot with the love of my life. It was a simple court marriage first but I didn’t imagine that Caleb planned a real wedding for us when I got discharged from the hospital. It was again a private ceremony since I don’t like loudness and wastage of money but we did invite people close to us and the number of guests reached to two hundred.Life could be no better than this. Caleb is a dotted husband and father to Alex and our one year old twins; Clarissa and Aaron. When we became pregnant, our happiness had no bound, he treated me like a queen and my son was a step ahead of his father. They cried when they found out that I carrying twins.Clarissa is the apple of everyone’s eye. Her father and elder brother are super protective of her. Sometimes, I feel jealous of my own daughter as she wraps her father around her little finger.Today’s our third anniversary. Ryan Bale died due to liver decease. Mrs. Jones’ mental state wors

[ Alicia ]“What happened to Mrs. Jones?” I asked the siblings and the bitterness on their face told that it wasn’t a good news.“Caleb, I think you shoulder answer this because that woman’s mention is driving me nuts.” Claire said with disdain.Caleb pinched the bridge of his nose, he also looked displeased but my curiosity hiked up.“Why aren’t you both telling me anything? Trust me, I am fine.” I assured them, I thought they were worried for me.“She’s in mental asylum. The doctors found out that she was mentally disturbed and she needed urgent medical supervision. Leaving her with other people might be harmful for both her and others like she had done to you in the fit of her anger. She is becoming violent day by day.” Caleb answered my question and I was quiet for a moment.“She didn’t deserve all this but nothing is in our hands. I hope she recovers soon.” I said since I held no hard feelings for her.“Ali, you can’t be this kind, people will take advantage of your kindness. Som

[ Alicia ]I woke up with dull pain in my head and I found myself in the hospital, I expected it when I recalled how I landed here. Mrs. Jones wanted to kill me but I survived. The doctor came and examined me, they said that I am lucky to have a husband who never my side even for a second.My eyes were impatiently glued on the door. I was waiting for my loved ones to walk in. I couldn’t pay attention to what the nurse was saying to me and then, the door pushed open and walked inside my husband with our son. The gleam and relief on their tired faces were the proofs how much they suffered when I was out.“Hey, love.” Caleb said in a whisper.My heart raced when I heard his smooth voice though he sounded tired.“Hey, handsome.” I greeted him.“I’ll give you two space. Mr. Jones I hope you’re breathing normally now.” The nurse joked and walked out.“Mom, how are you?” Alex asked me, he wanted to jump out of his father’s grip but Caleb held him in place.“I am feeling recharged after seein

[ Caleb ] The night felt like the longest. I couldn’t blink my eyes for a second even though they were burning due to lack of sleep. I had this fear inside me if I sleep and she wakes up then I won’t be by her side and she couldn’t press the bell by herself. But finally, my eyes gave in around four in the morning. I slept on a sitting position beside her bed so she could call me if she wakes up.I was woken up by a gentle tap on my shoulder and I slowly opened my eyes, it was a nurse who gave me a polite smile. I looked at Alicia, she was still sleeping and now my heart began to sink, it has been fifteen hours since she’s unconscious.“Mr. Jones, please go and fresh up till I am here with your wife. The doctor will take a round in next thirty minutes, only he can speculate when your wife will gain her senses.” The nurse said as if she read my dilemma.I wasn’t in a mood to leave but the nurse was right, I couldn’t help either if I stay. I stood up and stretched my stiff muscles and r

[ Caleb ]Every passing minute felt like eternity to me as I waited outside the operating room. My Alicia was fighting for her life while doctors are doing their best to save her. I closed my eyes and prayed to the God to save my wife. She had suffered a lot in her life and when I promised her that I won’t let any pain touch her, my own mother tried to kill her just because she dared to love me.Never in my wildest dream I imagined my mother to take such deadly step. She followed my father and grandfather’s path. She tried killing an innocent for her so called perception about my wife.“Caleb, please have this or you’ll fall sick yourself.” Tristan’s voice forced me to look up at my friend. He was holding a cup of coffee and I shook my head in refusal.“I could save her, Tristan. You warned me, my house staff warned me about her violent behaviour but I didn’t confront her first and busied myself when she got the chance and hurt Alicia. My wife asked me to give her a chance and how she

[ Alicia ] The next day, we were ready to leave for our house. When Alex woke up in the morning, he came running into our room and jumped on us. He was over the moon after seeing us. We cuddled with him, I couldn’t get enough of him.“Mom, I missed you and Dad but I am a big boy. I did all my work.” Alex told me proudly, he was the only one who kept me occupied or else, my mind was going back to Mrs. Jones.Caleb was lost in his own thoughts. I gave him space since it was the hardest part for him. He had to deal with his own mother and probably he had to make a tough decision.“I know my big boy.” I pinched his nose and hugged him close to my heart.Soon we reached at our home, it gave me peace to look at the home we built. Caleb picked Alex from me and I stepped down. Our guards and house staff greeted us at the entrance, they looked relieved.“How are you all?” I asked them.“Trust us, Ma’am, we would have gone crazy if you didn’t come back today. Mrs. Jones is driving us crazy wit

[ Alicia ]I stirred in my sleep and immediately a smile stretched on my lips when I saw my husband sleeping like a baby on my chest, his soft breath was falling on my bare breasts, sending a ticklish sensation on my skin. I caressed his hairs and kissed his forehead, these seven days were the best days of my life. We explored almost every famous part of the country, currently we were in a hotel’s suite since we had an early morning flight back to our home.I left the cottage at the island with heavy heart because we made the most beautiful memories of our lives there. He made love to me in every corner of the cottage. He was serious when he said he’d have me whenever he wishes. He made love to me like a mad man.“Wake up, sleepy head. We have to head back home.” I slowly tried to wake him up.He stirred but didn’t wake up, “Please, two minutes, just stay like this.” He groaned and snuggled his head more into my chest and smiled on his childish act.“I won’t mind you having here with

[ Alicia ]Caleb’s hands slowly removed my robe off my body and his eyes darkened when his eyes landed on my body, his hands froze on my forearms.“Ali, what is this?” He asked me, his heavy voice was the proof that my appearance had an effect on him.“I though it’s your favourite colour.” I said and blushed, it was the lingerie that Claire forced me to buy. The maroon colour in lacy fabric, barely covering any body part was more appealing for the eyes of a man.“It is but I didn’t know I would love it the most on you.” His lips curved upward as he roamed his lust filled eyes on my body, scanning each part of my skin. I felt my cheeks heating up, his gaze was intense.“I’ll have the pleasure of fucking you with this lingerie on your body. You have no idea how much it has turned me on.” He said, his thick was said it all.He pulled me on his lap so we could sit on a straddling position, our cores were touching, I felt his growing bulge where I needed him the most.“Do you feel it, baby

[ Alicia ]“What are we doing here, Caleb? We can’t see the sea in the darkness.” I chuckled when mu husband asked me to join him for a short walk after we reached back at our cottage and changed.“I have something for you, love but first I want you to close your eyes.” He said.“Why have I a feeling that you want to give me a surprise?” I narrowed my eyes but I was excited from inside. Whatever he does for me, it’s always special, even the smaller gestures.“Yes, there’s a gift for you but it’s also a surprise, now stop asking and close your eyes.” He said and I closed my eyes because I couldn’t wait for my surprise.In a few moments, I felt something cold around my neck, metal exactly and I guessed it was a chain or necklace. He made me wear a necklace and then he kissed my neck. I touched it to feel the design.“You can open your eyes now, love.” He said and I slowly opened my eyes and looked at the piece of jewelry. My smile vanished and my jaws dropped in shock.“Cal…Caleb, how d
