~~~ Brittany's POV

“Oh my goodness, Britt!” Jake's voice startled me as he barged into my office without a warning.

Goodness! Was he trailing me all along? I had barely even gotten into my office.

“Where did you go? You had all of us worried, especially since you had your phone switched off.” He added immediately walking closer to me and I only breathed out slowly, calming my nerves down.

He looked worried with both his facial expression and tone.

I was silent for a while before leaving him on the stand to take my seat on my swivel chair. I was just arriving at my office after spending the night at a nearby hotel. When I arrived in America, it was still towards evening time and I didn't want to go back to Ace's mansion just yet.

Dad's mansion was neither an option.

“Only a few, though. I believe some weren't even aware of my absence.” I replied to him and rolled my eyes at the end.

My last statement was referred to Ace as my mind flashed back to the dirty scene in the suite. I had p

    ~~ BrittanyMy left fingers tapped simultaneously on the desk as I scrolled through the new employee's profile on the iPad.I was waiting for my secretary to come back to my office with him because it was necessary I interview him too.As for Lora, I would deal with her later or better still report to father, even though I knew it might yield nothing in the end.I stopped scrolling when I got to his basic information, which included his full name: Kylie Fox, gender: male, date of birth and contact information, including his phone number and home address.It was just like the usual employee's personal information, nothing strange to make me think Lora could be playing a dirty trick on me. Definitely, I had no iota of trust in her!Shortly, the door opened, and I shot a glance as Clarissa walked in with him trailing behind her. She stopped him in the middle of the office, then walked closer to stand by my right side.I had now stopped tapping on my desk and joined my two hands instead a

    As soon as Brittany exited the office, Jake landed a heavy punch on Kylie that sent him right to the ground. He let out a groan as he held to the chair he once sat on for support.Jake was furious, even that was an understatement. Coming back to apologize for the strange attitude he earlier portrayed in front of Brittany, and then he saw the weird position she and Kylie were in, it all got him pissed.He was very certain that Kylie was trying to seduce Brittany because Brittany was not that kind of lady to throw herself at a man. Their years of friendship could attest to that.He couldn't deny his disappointment when he walked in at the scene, but it didn't last until anger replaced it, therefore waiting for the right moment to lose it all on Kylie.Kylie, on the other hand, was taken aback by Jake's sudden attack and as he rose slowly from the floor to gain back his balance, his hardened gaze was fixed on Jake.“Why was I just hit in the face?” He seethed with a deep frown plastered

    Lora walked into the gigantic mansion in a catwalk, her sling purse hung on her right arm as a small smile spread across her face.The interior of the Anderson's mansion was a testament of magnificence and luxury with a grand foyer, two sweeping staircases that curved like ribbons against each other by the walls. Its delicate ironworks gleamed in the light, and the marble — made floor reflected the light of the crystal chandelier above. In fact, the mansion was an orchestra of colors, textures, and patterns, with every part of the building looking breathtaking.As Lora's footsteps became clearer, some maids in the living room hastened their last cleaning for the day. This was as a result of avoiding Lora.To them, she was trouble and none of them wanted to cross paths with her, which was why they all wanted to avoid her in every possible means. But unfortunately, it was near impossible. They were only servants who could do as they were told and technically, Lora was also their boss.

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 17 - Brittany was packing?

    ~~~ Ace's POV It'd been days since I last heard from Brittany. I haven't set my eyes on her, which made me wonder where exactly she was. What was she doing at the moment? Does she even know there were people worried about her?Nobody knew her whereabouts and when I asked a few including her asshole of a friend, Jake, he too seemed clueless. Only her mother looked like she knew something about her whereabouts with her reactions.I began to suspect her when she clearly refused the case to be reported after I suggested it. Then, she concluded Brittany would come back soon.If only all these didn't begin when we both went on a trip together then I couldn't have been worried one bit. But no! It all began with that trip, which totally involved me.Who knows if she saw what happened in the suite that day? On the other hand, I wanted to believe she didn't, and it was just because she would rather not be with me in the same suite.“Sir, your schedule for the day has ended and there's nothing

Similar to when I arrived in the house earlier. Initially, I was scared when he suddenly entered into the room, taking me unaware.I was speaking with Emma and Aunt Ciara at the time he walked in and had almost thought he heard something, but all my fears vanished as soon as I realized he was asking about something else. I was beginning to understand what this was all about, but I was still going to feign ignorance at this time.“Why are you packing your things?” He asked after a moment of silence.“I'm sick of sharing a room with you, so I'll like to have my room and privacy. As it stands, nobody, except the servants, would know we stay in separate rooms.” I answered almost immediately and his brows furrowed momentarily.“Hold on… You mean….” He paused for a second and exhaled sharply, more like he was suddenly r

    ~~~ Brittany's POV Our ride to dinner was a smooth and quiet one as there was silence all through, only the smooth running of cars on the road was heard. There was an accountable space between us too as we both sat at the back seat.I was staring out the window, my gaze focused on the different things that the car drove past. I smiled, seeing some of my company's cosmetics products displayed on a billboard. It wasn't just one, even though they were in different areas and locations.I saw another billboard that caught my attention, but this time, it was that of the A&C Enterprise. My eyes somehow flashed towards their CEO, who was sitting quietly beside me. He was resting on the seat as his two eyes remained shut. I rolled my eyes. Did he do that just now? Because I was certain he wasn't asleep. Just a while ago, his eyes couldn't stop worshiping me, right from the mansion. He adored me. Even when he didn't say it out, I knew from a side glance of what shock I put him into when I joi

It wasn't like I hadn't suspected this, but it was actually so shocking that she could really use that method.I had thought she would go extra miles, something even far dangerous than this, just to ruin me but as dumb as she turned out to be, she just had to use something like embezzling the company's funds. Tchh!My gaze raised to meet my personal assistant's once again, and it gave her the go ahead to proceed with her reports. “Yes. It was as you've said. The expenses used for the past few weeks doesn't meet up with the weekly financial reports she hands down.”Well, given that the company's financial reports were usually submitted to dad as he was still in charge of the company affairs, it was just so clear that she could try to do something as such.Now that I was aware of what her plan was about, it was time to turn things around in

    Brittany's POVThe loud ringing above my head was what awakened me from the deep slumber that I wished lasted. As my eyes momentarily fluttered open, my hands reached out for the small clock on my bedside shelf and I turned it off. Then I sat up to rest on the headboard due to how light I felt at the moment.My entire body ached, that I felt like crap. It was obviously from too much alcohol yesterday. After what I tagged as the 'outrageous encounter' with dad yesterday, my whole body became numb and mind blank, especially when he just finished uttering those words, “then, your sister will have to get pregnant for him and become the CEO.” It felt as though someone would just wake me up from the disastrous nightmare.Everything was still fresh in my head, despite drowning myself in alcohol yesterday. Well, that was why I hated alcohol. It would only make one forget everything at that point then the next day, all memories would come rushing back.It was Jake's idea to clear my head in th

    Ace's POVJake wrapped Brittany's hands around his neck as he pulled her up. He lifted her purse to his other hand, but it didn't end there. He slipped his hands in her waist, leading her out and a deep frown crept to my face. I almost felt like stomping towards them to punch out all of his teeth. That way he would avoid touching what was mine. Wait! What did I just think? I must be out of my mind. Brittany was obviously loving it, since she looked comfortable being in his arms.“It's really her. Since when did she start coming here? Hey! Shouldn't you follow them? She seemed drunk to me.” Alex said, turning to face me at the last minute.“There would be no need. She looked so comfortable with her companion, so why should I bother?” I freed my hands from Elvira's grip to take my previous seat. I poured myself a drink and gulped it down all at once.“Dude! She is your wife and is drunk. If there's anyone to take her home in that state, then it should be you. You can't leave her in th

    The atmosphere became cold as soon as Mr. Anderson uttered those words to his daughter. It seemed as though time stopped for that brief moment. Even Mrs. Catherine who had been eavesdropping upstairs, had to come down from her hiding place out of shock and majorly, fear.Nobody expected it coming. It was a massive hit to everyone who heard it. Mrs. Catherine was left speechless even as she got to where the father and daughter were. It didn't take long before her husband walked out of the living room, taking the route into his study room and she followed suit. Obviously, to talk things out with him on behalf of their daughter.On the other hand, was Lora who came in some minutes ago. She barely had the chance to make her presence known amidst all the drama when her father's stance was made.Her lips slowly curled into a mischievous smile as she crossed her hands against her chest, staring at her half-sister with a raised brow. The shock and pain written over Brittany's face was what sh

    Brittany's POV “I've gathered more information on Ms Lora and Kylie, like you requested. These are more intimate than the ones we've gotten on them so far.” Clarissa uttered beside me as we both sat in the car.I turned to her and collected the tab she was stretching out to me. I glanced through it and sighed. Staring at that right now made me remember the enemies that I needed to fight off. I had briefly forgotten them.These days, Kylie's actions towards me had made me even more wary of him. His sudden determination to become close to me and Lora's pretence to overlook it, despite being his girlfriend, it all confirmed my suspicions. Once, she had passed by when Kylie was flirting with me, and she ignored us totally. Obviously, she didn't know that I was aware of her relationship with him.“You can stop bringing me pictures of Kylie and Lora together like this.” I spoke out as I handed Clarissa back the tab.Just gathering pictures of those two doing unbelievable things outside the
