I'm The CEO's Bedmate [ENGLISH] 28
It was already dark when Nicole finally got home to her Aunt Norma’s house. She walked slowly—not only because she still wasn’t feeling well, and in fact felt even worse after sleeping the whole afternoon—but also because she was scared to face her aunt.For a moment, she regretted not going with Leah when she came to pick her up at the office earlier. She also regretted not listening to Alexander when he told her not to go home yet.She let out a harsh sigh when she finally reached the wooden door of her aunt’s house. She mustered up whatever courage she had left to knock, but paused when she heard voices from inside. Her brows furrowed when she heard her name—clearly, they weren’t talking about her running away.Instead of knocking, she moved carefully toward the small window and peeked in.“What if that woman finds out about her remaining relatives, Ma? And what if Nicole’s relatives find out what we did to her? What then, Ma?”“Relatives?”Nicole whispered to herself, her brow fur

"Hey babe, I’m gonna head out, okay? Are you sure you’re alright here?"Leah asked her friend, concern still lacing her voice.Nicole gave her a faint smile, wiping away tears as she nodded. She’d been crying for a while now, ever since she started talking about the secret her relatives had been hiding from her.“Take care of my girl, Mr. CEO, alright? She’s been through hell—so please, don’t do anything that’ll hurt her more,”Leah added firmly, shooting a pointed look at Alexander, who simply nodded in reply.“I’ll be okay, Leah. Thank you so much for everything,”Nicole said sincerely, managing a real smile this time. She stood up to walk Leah out. Her friend pulled her in for a tight hug before heading to her car.Nicole stayed outside for a few more minutes after Leah drove away. That’s when she felt warm arms wrap gently around her from behind. She closed her eyes for a moment, allowing herself to breathe, then turned to face him.“Thank you too, Mr. CEO,”she said with a gratef

“I’m late!”Nicole practically screamed when she opened her eyes and saw the clock saying it was past nine in the morning.She quickly got up only to fall back onto the bed because besides her aching head and body, which she thought hadn’t fully recovered from the pain in her stomach and her cousin Lucy’s visit, she also felt a large arm resting on her waist. She immediately looked at the man beside her who was sound asleep.Why did she forget that Alexander chose to sleep beside her last night?It probably slipped her mind because she was focused on being late for work.Nicole stopped moving for a moment to look at the handsome CEO who was fast asleep beside her. His forehead was slightly furrowed, but you couldn’t deny the perfect features of his face.Thick eyebrows, rosy lips, and a jawline that looked like it was carved by a very skilled sculptor.Unconsciously, Nicole raised her hands to touch the CEO’s rose-like lips, her CEO’s, only to stop at the last moment for fear of wakin

It had been almost a week since Nicole stayed at Alexander's house, and for her, nothing had really changed.Her boss was still grumpy when it came to work, which was always softened by his affectionate behavior when it was just the two of them together.She had only been absent from work for three days, as she had protested when Alexander told her she wouldn’t be working for a week, offering to just give her the salary for the days she’d miss.For Nicole, that felt like a bit of an exaggeration and seemed inappropriate.Luckily, Alexander understood what she was trying to convey and had no choice but to allow her to go back to work.However, she had been avoiding him every time she entered the office, running out of excuses for when he would try to stop her in the hallway before she reached her desk. Since she left the house with him every day to go to work, it was hard to commute to Alexander’s village, and taking a taxi every day would be too expensive for her.Nicole was currently

It was already past seven in the evening, and Nicole was on her way home to Alexander’s house, where she was staying. Her friend Leah had picked her up after work at five in the afternoon.Leah was the one who asked Alexander if she could bring Nicole to a family gathering, and of course, Alexander agreed since he knew Leah well as one of his closest friends. Nicole saw no reason to refuse the request, especially since Alexander trusted Leah.“Is this true, Nicole?”Leah asked, her eyes wide and disbelieving. Nicole felt a little nervous as Leah’s gaze shifted from the road while driving.“Y-yes…” Nicole answered shyly. She had told Leah about the car Alexander had given her, which turned out to be a BMW.“Gosh, girl, look at you! What a turnaround, right? You had bad luck with your Aunt Norma’s family, but look at how luck is finally on your side. I hope things stay good for you. But by the way…”Suddenly, Leah stopped talking and squinted at Nicole.“Why?” Nicole asked, confused.“Y

Nicole woke up as the sun had already risen. She immediately rushed to get up upon realizing that Alexander, who had been unconscious from drunkenness last night, was no longer beside her. She scanned the entire room for any trace of him, but he was nowhere to be found.Although she wanted to search for her boss, she knew that wasn't her priority right now—she was already running late for work. She needed to get ready, especially since it seemed that she needed to save up quickly so she could leave this place and find somewhere else to stay.She bitterly smiled as she remembered the drama with her boss's lying girlfriend last night. It hurt to think that the time might come when she would be the one to be left behind if Alexander had to choose between her and his girlfriend. But she had to accept that fact, no matter how painful it was. It seemed like that moment was fast approaching.She sighed and tried to push the negative thoughts out of her mind, rushing to prepare for work. Howe

It was Monday morning, and Nicole was ready to head to the office, humming and smiling as she walked down the stairs of CEO Shawn Alexander Montefalco’s house, where just recently he had confessed his love for her.Her smile grew even bigger as she remembered the short but happy vacation she had this past weekend in Palawan with Alexander. They barely did anything there except cuddle, tease each other, or spend the whole night together in bed.Nicole’s face turned red as she recalled how she could barely walk properly after their night of "bone-stretching" in Palawan.Shaking her head, Nicole continued walking, thinking that perhaps Alexander was already waiting for her downstairs, as he had told her yesterday that they would go to the office together today.“Good morning, Nicole. You seem really happy today,” Karen, one of Alexander's household staff, greeted her as she entered. Nicole quickly smiled back and nodded repeatedly.“Well, there's no reason to frown, haha,” she teased.“T

Nicole’s knees almost gave way when she returned to the office to collect her things. Sir Luis Montefalco had instructed her to go home for the day and rest, as after a week, she would no longer be working as the CEO’s EA, but would instead become an engineer.Her heart sank even further when she saw Alexander sitting in his swivel chair. His concerned look immediately turned to her, but instead of acknowledging him, she chose to turn her back and walk to her desk to gather her belongings.She could feel Alexander’s movements from where he sat, even the sound of his shoes approaching her.“Nicole—”“Uh, I’m just stopping by your house to grab a few things. I’ll leave right after,” she quickly said, cutting off whatever he was about to say.She knew Alexander wasn’t kicking her out, but she wasn’t stupid enough to stay, especially when she knew the truth. His girlfriend was pregnant, and he had recently promised her he would find a way for them to be together. Now, she learned from som

I'm The CEO's Bedmate [ENGLISH] EPILOGUE
Nicole immediately smiled as she woke up, her eyes opening to the familiar, comforting face of Alexander right in front of her. The soft morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow on his features."Good morning, beautiful wife," he greeted her, his voice rich with affection, and his eyes gleaming with a mischievous sparkle. He gazed at her intently, like she was the most precious thing in the world."Good morning, naughty husband," she replied playfully, her voice full of teasing warmth. Without hesitation, she raised her arms and pulled him into a tight hug, relishing the closeness of his presence. He eagerly reciprocated, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her in even closer. But just as he leaned in to kiss her on the lips, Nicole quickly turned her face away, causing a pout to form on his lips.Alexander’s brows furrowed in slight confusion as he paused, staring at her in surprise. "What’s wrong?" he asked, his tone soft but curious.Nicole couldn’t hol

Standing just outside the grand, ornately carved doors of the church, Nicole could already hear the soft, melodic strains of the organ, filling the air with a sense of serenity and anticipation. Her heart skipped a beat as excitement surged within her—this was it. The moment she had dreamed about for so long. Today, she was about to marry the man she loved more than anything in the world—Shawn Alexander Montefalco, her CEO, her lover, the father of their precious daughter, Alexandrea.Nicole’s fingers tightened slightly around the bouquet she held, the delicate white roses a symbol of the new chapter she was about to begin. But just as she was starting to bask in the moment, she felt her grandmother’s hand settle gently on her arm, a comforting weight.“I know I’ve said this countless times already, dear, but congratulations again. I’m so happy for you,” her grandmother said, her voice thick with emotion. She squeezed Nicole’s hand warmly and placed a soft kiss on her forehead, adjust

"You look beautiful, Nicole," Leah praised her, smiling as the flamboyant makeup artist who had been taking care of everything finished her up.Today was her wedding day with Alexander, and Nicole felt that no word could truly capture the joy and excitement she felt at that moment.Nicole smiled at her friend and thanked her."Thank you so much, Leah. And thank you for agreeing to be my maid of honor," she said, extending her arms for a tight hug."Ah, don’t mention it. Who else would you choose as your maid of honor? I’m the only one who’s your best friend and ridiculously beautiful," Leah joked, making them both laugh.They paused when Leah suddenly stared at her intensely.Before Nicole could even ask why, Leah spoke first."I just... can’t believe you’re actually getting married," Leah said, her voice softening with emotion. "I’m so happy for you, Nicole. So, so happy for you."She smiled sweetly at Nicole, wiping away a tear.Nicole playfully rolled her eyes and hugged her again.

Nicole couldn't help but smile sweetly as she gazed at her newborn baby. She felt like she could spend the entire afternoon just staring at her peacefully sleeping child."Hey, you should rest too..."Nicole immediately turned toward the sound of the door opening, and she smiled even wider when she saw Alexander standing there."I know, I just can't help but stare at her. She's so beautiful, Alex. My baby is so beautiful."She said happily, and Alexander smiled back as he carefully walked toward her, making sure not to make any noise that might wake the baby."Our daughter, and yes, I agree. She's gorgeous. I mean, what do you expect? Her dad—and your soon-to-be husband—is pretty handsome too."He said with a playful tone, which made Nicole roll her eyes."You're not handsome, and who said I was going to marry you?"She teased, causing Alexander to pout."You said so when you were in labor. You said you’d marry me."He replied, sounding so sure of himself, making Nicole smile again as

After a few moments of silence, Nicole couldn’t speak because she hadn’t expected Alexander to say that to her. He asked her to marry him…What was she supposed to say? As far as she knew, he was already married and had his own family."Say something, baby…"Alexander said gently, but just like before, Nicole remained silent, her eyes wide in shock, staring intently at him.“Look, I know our relationship before didn’t turn out well. I know you're really angry at me because of what I did, but believe me, baby, everything happens for a reason. I only did what I did to protect you.”He spoke softly, and Nicole wasn’t sure whether to believe him. She wanted to understand everything, but part of her didn’t want to hear these things.“Marry me, Nicole.”He said again, and she squeezed her eyes shut, then slowly opened them to meet his serious gaze.“W-why?”Finally, she asked. She knew it wasn’t the perfect response, but she genuinely wanted to know why Alexander wanted to marry her. She di

Two hours had passed since Leah and Nicole returned from the mall, but Nicole couldn't shake the nervousness from their brief conversation with Alexander. She hadn’t expected to run into him there, and certainly hadn't anticipated him finding out about her pregnancy.Since she never prepared for such a situation, she didn't know what to say if they were to meet and he discovered her condition. And now, the thing she never expected had happened. Instead of distancing Alexander from the thought that he might be the father of her baby, Nicole felt like she had only drawn him closer to that belief with her careless responses earlier.Who could think clearly in a situation like that?Thankfully, Leah didn't say anything else or ask questions. She stayed quiet while driving, while Nicole couldn’t calm herself. She didn’t even know why she was still upset about Alexander.But when she recalled how her former CEO insisted on knowing about her pregnancy earlier, Nicole couldn’t help but think

Seven months.It had been seven months, and Nicole’s baby bump was already showing quite a bit. Until now, no one from her previous workplace knew she was pregnant—and that was exactly how she wanted it. She had asked everyone to keep it a secret.Her relatives had agreed, especially after learning that the father of her child was the CEO of the company they were partnering with.Nicole didn’t want Alexander to find out about the baby. Her family understood that completely.No one questioned her decision either. To her, it was enough to know that Alexander had already started a family of his own. She kept trying to convince herself that she didn’t need him—and neither would their child.“Hey, ready?”The voice of her friend Leah pulled her out of her thoughts. Nicole gave her a quick nod and took one last glance at her reflection in the full-length mirror.She smiled softly, her hand gently resting on her rounded belly.The white maternity dress she wore fell just above her knees, and

Nicole’s hands were trembling with nerves. She couldn’t even bring herself to touch the food on her plate as she quietly observed her surroundings, listening in silence to the conversation at the breakfast table, led by her grandparents.They were all gathered in the dining room, enjoying breakfast together. There was laughter and teasing all around, but Nicole couldn’t bring herself to join in. And she knew exactly why.She had spent the entire night thinking about how she was finally going to tell them she was pregnant. No matter how they reacted or what the consequences would be, she had already prepared her heart to accept it all.She was also sure that her cousin, Domenic, already suspected something. He kept sneaking glances at her across the table, which she responded to with sharp glares—glares she knew he didn’t appreciate.“Natalia, sweetheart, I’m glad to see you’re feeling better,” her grandmother said gently, pulling Nicole’s attention back. The warm smile on her grandmot

The moment Nicole stepped into the clinic, her knees nearly gave out. She felt like the walls were closing in on her, anxiety gnawing at her every thought as she waited for the results of the test.She felt like someone terminally ill, anticipating the doctor’s verdict on how many days, months, or years she had left. What made it worse was the strong gut feeling that the pregnancy test would come back positive. Her hands trembled with nervous energy.She sat quietly in the waiting area, beside her cousin who looked like she wanted to slap some sense into her. Nicole couldn’t really blame her—Domenic had seen it all. He knew what Alexander had put her through, and he was the one who convinced her to cut ties with the CEO she once worked for. Now here they were, possibly about to confirm that she was carrying his child.Her heart skipped a beat when she noticed Domenic looking at her. She quickly looked away and tried to focus on something else—anything else. Her eyes landed on a poster
