~~~ 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

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 18 - New finding.

    ~~~ Brittany's POV “What does it look like?” I raised my brows and crossed my hands against each other on my chest.Anger was slowly finding its way through me once again. 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

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 19 - The family's dinner.

    ~~~ 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

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 20 - Appearing as a couple.

    ~~~ Ace's POV “........and that would be all for today.” I closed the file in front of me as I dismissed everyone in the conference room and I stood up.I was the first to leave while unbuttoning my suit outer jacket. Meeting with the chiefs of departments of the company were so stressful, especially when I was exhausted. Unfortunately, it was something I had to do as the CEO. The weekly repetition of stating the company's affairs was what made the meeting boring for me, and I didn't make that less obvious. Footsteps behind me made me glance to see Melissa, my personal assistant.“What's the next on my schedule?” “You got an invitation to be a guest on a TV show, to inspire new business owners and startups in that field.” She replied in a grumble, almost I couldn't hear.What the hell was wrong with her? She'd been like that for days. I scoffed out, suddenly realizing it was due to the incident of a few days ago. Obviously, it was because I left her hanging in the office that eveni

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 21 - His dirty tricks.

    Brittany's POVMy fears came through as soon as I felt Ace's lips on mine. It all began when the hostess manipulated the audience to make Ace and I kiss and eventually, he kissed me.It was already a hassle that I had to come here as Ace's wife. Yet, they were making me do this. I was brought back to reality when I felt Ace's hand slipped around my waist, pulling me closer. I shuddered when I felt the gentle brush of his tongue and the warmth of his minty breath.I didn't even realize when I gave into the kiss until I found myself wrapping my hands around his neck. This was one of the things I used to love about him. He was perfect in kisses.We were both still engrossed in it until I heard the audience's loud cheering. That brought me back to my senses and I disengaged immediately. I lowered my gaze as my face flushed red. I was slightly embarrassed.“Wow! That was hot.” Hostess Gabriella beamed.I could tell she was smiling from her voice, and I finally managed to lift my gaze with

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 22 - Another unbelievable task.

    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

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 23 - Why was she there?

    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

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 24 - Jake was an opportunist.

    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

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 25 - What Lora was up to.

    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

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 81 - What she wanted.

    ~~ Ace's POV ~~Meeting her at the hospital premises was unexpected. I mean, I had gone there only because of personal reasons - to find out someone I still believed could just be a figment of my imagination. But, it was all thanks to that reason that a tragedy didn't occur today. If I hadn't sighted the gunman earlier to have gotten Brittany out of sight before the gunshot, then what would have happened?Whoever the masked gunman was, had targeted Brittany because he vanished right after firing just one bullet at her. When I tried to find him again, he was gone and the people who witnessed the scene didn't know of his whereabouts as well. It was like he just vanished into thin air. But that was for a matter of time. I would find him soon and he wouldn't know what hit him."We've found the gun that was used near the crime scene. Once we get a person who matches the descriptions you gave, we'll add him to the wanted list. Although it might not be easy, since his face was covered.""Do

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 80 - He has PTSD.

    ~~ Brittany's POV~~"I'm sorry if I had kept you waiting. There were some emergency matters that I had to deal with." Dr. Marvin's apologetic tone sounded from behind as he walked to his seat and I nodded quietly."It's fine. I'm just here to make finding about these." I brought out the same drugs I had mistaken to be mine earlier and left them scattered on the doctor's desk.He only stared at it for a brief moment and an almost inaudible sigh left his lips. His hands moved forward to link together on his desk. "Whose drugs are these? I didn't prescribe them to you.""I know and that's what I came to figure out. However, I have an idea of who it belonged to, and I want to confirm with you. Just tell me nothing but the truth." I said in hush tones but he kept quiet.That wasn't what I wanted. I wanted answers but his blank gaze told me he was hesitating from explaining things to me."Fine, you don't have to explain anything to me. As his wife, I have the right to ask questions about hi

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 79 - Her dismissal.

    ~~ Brittany's POV ~~Everywhere became silent again when the video stopped, and I glanced at the so-called diligent employee as she called herself. She was barely making eye contact with anyone in the hall. But shortly after, she summoned courage. She was trying hard to mask her anxious expression which wasn't rarely working."No, this is not right. It is absolutely illegal to stalk me, just because your position is higher? You had your secretary follow and have me on video secretly. That is against work ethics and you can be sued for that!""You're right but at the same time, this can't be overlooked. What you did over there almost cost us so much damage and that's what matters." I exhaled sharply. "Besides, everyone that was present on that day knew if you hadn't pointed accusing fingers at my secretary, then she wouldn't have gone the extra mile to prove herself. Mind you, you plotted everything from the beginning."One of the members of the board of directors, a man, added, "We al

    ~~ Brittany's POV ~~"Everything has been prepared for the meeting and everyone is waiting for your arrival, Ma'am.""Fine, let's go." The door opened and Jake came in. He was hesitant at first as he stepped closer, his hands clasped together in front. "Please, we need to talk." He stated almost inaudibly, his eyes simply boring into mine."Excuse us, Clarissa." I said and walked back to stand behind my desk.Clarissa left without hesitation, and I was all alone with Jake, who was still gawking at me like he was suddenly tongue-tied."You don't have all day to talk to me. There are more important things I have to do.""Um... I didn't mean to delay you or anything. I...just wanted to speak about us." He stuttered out, taking a deep breath afterward. "It's absolutely fine if you're too busy to talk now. We can do that some other time, maybe discuss over dinner later tonight.""Say whatever you have to say right here, there won't be a second chance for this discussion." I chipped in wi

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 77 - Familiar eyes.

    ~~ Ace's POV ~~I could feel people raiding their eyes on me as I walked into the company; many ladies throwing flirtatious gazes while some murmured amongst themselves. Moments later, a group of people walked up to me, stopping in front of me."Mr. Ace, it's a great honor to have you here. Please come with me, the president is pleased to welcome you to the company." One of the men amongst them stated with a small smile."I'm not here to see him." I corrected and glanced everywhere else but them. "Where is his daughter? I'm here to see her instead." I glanced back at them and could feel their embarrassment, especially on the man's face."Oh, Ms Elvira? I'll take you to her. She's in her dressing room. Come with me, please." One of the ladies offered, walking away and I followed suit.These were one of the numerous companies that A&C enterprise invested in but it was actually the first time I'd been there without the CEO title, i.e when there wasn't any official occasion going on. Afte

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 76 - I don't want you around.

    ~~ Brittany's POV ~~I woke up to the beeping sounds beside me as I managed to sit upright on the bed. My body ached badly, like I had been lying on this bed longer than usual and my head throbbed slightly with headache. I felt heavy all of a sudden at the discomfort and I moved my gaze around the strange environment until they stopped on Clarissa sitting on a white couch."Ma'am, you're awake." She said as our gaze met, and she rose to her feet, walking towards me immediately."What happened?" I asked, looking around the ward once again. "Why am I in a hospital? And how long have I been here?""You've been unconscious for over a day, ma'am," Clarissa replied before making me rest my back on the pillows behind."But how did I end up..." The door suddenly opened causing me to pause as I turned towards the direction. Ace halted near the door briefly before hurrying towards me in the next second while the doctor just strolled casually behind him."How are you feeling, Mrs. Miller?" The

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 75 - Her Father's Side Chick?

    The huge black automatic gate slid open as a white Porsche sped into the compound, having less interest in parking properly. Charlotte stepped out of the car, stylishly taking in the serene atmosphere. Everything in the spacious compound screamed luxury, especially the majestic floor-standing fountain at the center.As Charlotte made her way into the gigantic mansion, some maidservants she had walked past greeted her, and the only person who stopped her was the middle-aged Butler dressed in uniform."Young Miss, you're here. The chairman is not around at the moment, but he will be back soon." He announced, his tone warm and calm as he stared at the young lady standing in front of him."I'm not here to see my Father. I just came to pick a few things in my room." Charlotte replied nonchalantly."Then, do you mind waiting behind for lunch? It is being prepared as we speak." Seeing the slight look of worry in the Butler's eyes, Charlotte sighed and lowered slightly down to his level. He

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 74 - Heartbroken.

    ~~ Ace's POV ~~Many would say that I was speaking under the influence of alcohol and even as they finally agreed to sign the contract, I could still feel some of their astonished gazes on me. They all looked like they weren't the same set of people who weren't willing to give us a second of their time earlier.The truth of the matter was that I couldn't bear to see Brittany caught in a tight spot. I could feel it earlier when she spoke to them that she was nervous, and that was the height of it all. The Brittany I knew in business affairs was usually so confident and sometimes, it was not easy to oppose her in business matters. Many of our business partners were aware of that.As we eventually signed all the necessary parts, the deal was sealed successfully with two people from my legal team present, as I promised. They had smiles plastered over their faces, every one of them except for the old man who happens to be the town leader."We hope you don't disappoint us the second time be

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 73 - Ace's announcement.

    ~~ Brittany's POV ~~"I asked the others to think of a solution, but nothing seems to come to my mind. It's super annoying but I can't just let this go. I need to do something to prevent a disaster.""It's not the end for you, you know.""And you?" I asked, clearly irritated that I was the only one worried about the whole thing while Ace was looking the less bothered.As over an hour had passed, all he did was pacify me when I got overly worried. He even ordered our lunch through the hotel's room service and while eating, he didn't allow the topic till we finished eating. That moment felt passionate as my toes curled at how caring he was. "The both of us can't possibly be too worried at the same time. Then who would motivate who to stop overthinking?" He tilted his head to the left as if trying to seek answers through my eyes.That had me roll my eyes. As much as I wanted to deny it, he was right. One person had to stay in their right frame of mind to avoid losing it. I made my way o
