~~~ Brittany's POV ~~~

Those words had my entire body grow numb immediately. I didn't expect that and despite the pain I felt within, that still hit me differently.

“What?” That was the only thing I could say from the shock that surged through me at the moment.

“Enough with the pretense, Brittany. I know everything that happened between you and that forsaken lover of yours at my birthday party.” He continued to blurt out words that sounded so peculiar to me.

“What are you even saying right now? What happened on the night of your birthday party? And with whom?” I yelled in frustration, still sounding so confused and lost with everything he just said.

It was strange because unfortunately for me, I couldn't remember exactly what happened on that night. It was even stranger because Ace changed completely after that night, and when I asked Jake, he agreed with me that nothing had happened.

I tried to think back to that evening which happened to be Ace's birthday. His friends and I had plan

    ~~ Ace's POV ~~“So, do you plan to give up on her?” Alex asked after narrating my ordeal with Brittany, but I didn't reply. Instead, I poured myself a glass of liquor as I gulped it down all at once. I poured in another and did the same thing, gulping it down in a go as anger radiated through me.“Why are you so pissed by the way? You called for it with your actions towards her. For example, your rash attitude. Despite being married to her, you still let different ladies flock around you, and you barely act on your responsibility.” Alex added further, his expression holding nothing but over seriousness in it and I raised my brows.“Responsibility? Dude, we are only married for family’s sake and did I tell you that there's a contract binding our marriage? She mentioned it and clearly stated that we could do as we pleased.”“But you love her and there was a time that you could do anything for her. Or do you want me to remind you of those times?” He raised his brows and I shook my head

    Lora crossed her arms against her chest defensively as she stared at the two detectives in front of her with a frustrated look. Sitting in the interrogation room while being questioned irked her so bad, and she didn't fail to show that.“Detectives, I am a victim here as well and if there is anyone who is to be blamed and called here, it should be Brittany. I mean she was the only who went a different way from us.” She stated defiantly, making the detective in front of her sigh.“Young Miss, we aren't blaming anyone yet. As you might have known, the accident occurred due to failed brakes when it shouldn't have been so. We're only following procedures here as everyone involved have been questioned except you.” He tried to explain but was interrupted by Lora.“You actually mean except Brittany because she also needs to be asked some questions. It is so obvious that she instigated the accident beforehand and everything was her plan.” Lora blurted out, hate and pain laced in her tone.She

    ~~ Brittany's POV ~~“Thank you so much for taking care of me, young Miss.” My dad's secretary said and I nodded.“And I'm so sorry about what happened to the chairman.” He added.“Oh, It's actually nothing. Besides, if there's even anyone to thank, it should be you. For waking up strong and healthy.” I replied with a small smile.I moved closer to him on the bed as I handed him the bouquet of flowers I had come in with earlier. He collected it with a smile and muttered, “thank you.” While I just nodded.“I'll come to visit the chairman as soon as the doctors permit me.”“Just take all the rest now and don't stress yourself too much. Remember, you just went through a challenging surgery.” I said and bowed slightly. Then I glanced at his wife who in turn stood up to appreciate me and bowed slightly as well before leaving the ward. As soon as my feet stepped outside, a light sigh left my lips and I rested my back on the wall. It'd been three days already since father's accident, yet e

    ~~ Ace's POV ~~ Her brows knitted in a frown as she uttered, “For a person who barely comes back to his house, I think you shouldn't ask me that. Besides, it doesn't matter to you where I stay, and you are not entitled to ask me why I didn't come home.” A light sigh left my lips as I lowered my gaze to the floor. I messed up and I was fully aware. Her attitude towards me was understandable since it was my fault. I didn't trust her and I accused her falsely too. That was my mistake. Figuring out what I needed to know from Kylie, he explained things, and clearly he was the one who hit things off with her. At that moment, it suddenly dawned on me that I had fucked up big time by trusting the words of Brittany's half-sister. I sighed again and lifted my gaze, “if this is about what happened between.............” “It's nothing about it.” She interrupted me instantly walking over to stand at the other side of the bed. I paused as my gaze remained fixed on her, watching her every mov

You gave my position out so easily.” She said, walking inside on a catwalk.But instead of taking a seat somewhere around, she walked straight to me and pulled off the long jacket, revealing a crop top and a mini skirt that barely covered her bums. Then she pushed some files aside on my desk and stylishly sat down near me. More of, she was trying to turn me on with her sitting posture.I scoffed out and moved my gaze to her face instead.“How did you get into my office? I was certain that I didn't have anything to do with you anymore.” I said in a huff.“Well, it seems someone still wanted me, that they didn't restrain me from coming into the company. I almost thought you would have asked the security to stop me from entering the premises, but I was shocked that I was wrong.” She hushed out, her voice slowly turning into a whisper as she lowered her upper body below me.Her cleavages were on full display in her crop

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 48 - Visiting Kylie.

    ~~ Brittany's POV ~~The door opened, revealing a warden and Kylie as he was led to a seat on the other side of the visitation room. Then the warden left afterward. I felt Jake's muscle tense up beside me and I gently rubbed his knuckles which were clenched into a fist.His anger was understandable. In fact, I was having the same feeling, that the only emotion left within at that time was anger. I seriously wanted to smack Kylie on the face until his face was no longer recognizable. But, unfortunately, I couldn't lay one finger on him as there was a tall, transparent glass which demarcated the middle. That prevented a lot from happening because I was as well certain that Jake also had something 'physical' to do to him. I glanced at Jake, who sat down quietly yet simmering with resentment. He exhaled deeply when he felt my gaze on him before reassuring me with a smile that I observed to be fake instantly.He couldn't fool me with that smile. I turned my gaze back to Kylie.“What were

As you all know about the tragic event that happened lately; the chairman of the Anderson's Group, my father, alongside his driver and PA were involved in a ghastly car accident and currently, he and his personal assistant were the only ones who made it. May the soul of the driver rest in perfect peace.” I said into the microphones gathered below me, and paused to take in a deep breath.My voice was sounding a bit shaky as I spoke, so I exhaled sharply once again.“My family and I will try our very best to help the family of the deceased driver in our little ways.” I bowed a little after this, making the cameras flashing their lights at me.“How is the chairman's health? Has there been any improvements in his condition?” A reporter asked, and I let out a downcast sigh as the whole place became utterly silent. Only the clicking of cameras.“There hasn't been any improvements in his health condition, but

Especially after her reaction to my visit in her mother's presence, I was sure she had a lot to say than keeping quiet.For that brief moment she gazed at me back there, her eyes emphasized so much rage as they glared at me with hostility. Finally, she turned to me, making me halt in my steps immediately.“What do you think you're trying to do? What game are you trying to play exactly?” She asked, her eyes reflecting with hate like they did earlier, inside the hospital.Her last question took me unaware and rendered me almost speechless.“Game?” I asked back, raising my brows as my lips parted in shock.“Yes.” She took few steps closer and continued, “Stop acting like nothing happened, Ace. One minute you're callous, the other you're acting as if you did nothing wrong or don't even know what you did wrong. I'm sick and tired of it.”

Because she misses you.” I whined into the phone with a small pout.I could hear her cute giggles, making me bust into smiles.“I miss you too and yes, in my dream, we were together as a family in a big house.” Her adorable babyish voice replied and a look of puzzle crossed my face.“Really? Tell me more about it.” I coaxed, curiosity and excitement lacing in my tone.Speaking to her like this was something I wished would never end. I loved hearing her voice every day but unfortunately, circumstances kept us apart from one another. Hence, it was somehow difficult to hear from her as I pleased.“That was all. We were so happy living together that it felt so real until I woke up this morning.” Her once bright voice fell afterward.She was sad, no doubts, but I wasn't planning to make her sad for long. “In a few weeks time, you'll be five. How excited are you?” I hoped the news would help lig

By the time I lifted my head to stare out the window, the sky had grown darker and the stars were gathered, glistening in its usual form.Brittany's car drove in, and she alighted gracefully with her phone placed on her left ear before the driver drove away to park properly in the lot. Through the shadows of the night, I could see her adjust her bag on her right arm, still chatting immensely with the other person over the phone. Although, I didn't hear what they were discussing.Her back was slightly turned against me, that only her left side was in view. I could barely see her face. She remained there for a while and didn't seem to notice my presence as she walked into the mansion. My eyes strained to keep her under watch until she was no longer in sight and I exhaled deeply.I clutched onto the wheels tight briefly and fixed the windows before stepping out as I headed into the

Don't you get tired? Or maybe slack off in your duties?” Lora butted in, strolling inside casually as she halted midway with arms crossed against each other.Ignoring her statement, I teared my gaze back to my secretary with raised brows, but her looks expressed shock and surprise.“I really did ask her to wait for me outside,

    ~~ Brittany's POV ~~I clasped my sweaty palms together as I clicked my heels quietly against the marble tiled floor. Until then, I didn't realize how tensed and scared I was. The first few hours didn't bother me that much because I was certain mom's lawyer was quite prepared. Thanks to the other maid who demanded to see me at the hospital, we were able to get recordings contradicting to what the supposed maid, Sophia had told the police. In one of the video recordings, she seemed to be working with someone against my mother, and she was the one who planted the forged documents in my parents' bedroom. Now, she was no longer a witness and for that reason, oppositions against my mother had reduced but somehow, I still felt anxious. After a brief recess, the judge returned with the verdict and as my eyes remained fixed on her, I hoped and prayed whatever she was holding unto was good news.“....... I hereby pronounce Mrs. Catherine Anderson.....not guilty.”As soon as I heard those wor

    ~~ Brittany's POV ~~I sat on the bed quietly as the doctor did some checkups on me. He checked on the wound on my forehead and the back of my head, then finally assessed my heart rate with his stethoscope."Do you feel pains anywhere?" He inquired, placing the stethoscope back around his neck."Yes, my head still hurts but not as severe as it was earlier.""The nurse will administer another pain relief drug and change the bandage as well. So, please lay back on the bed and rest while she is at it."I did as the doctor said and allowed the nurse to do her duty as the doctor left the ward. The door opened again and my secretary accompanied by two cops walked in. It was the same cops from the station who had offered to escort me.Clarissa walked to stand beside me while the cops stopped at the center of the ward."How are you feeling, ma'am?""Well as you can see, I'm getting better." I teared my eyes away from them for a moment and heaved out a sigh."We're sorry we couldn't protect yo

    “What's with you, girl? You just started rejoicing as soon as you came in here. What's the good news? Come on, let me know.” Zara implored with eagerness, keenly watching as Lora served herself another glass of champagne after finishing the first glass.She was Lora's best friend and the only friend Lora had kept by her side since high school. They were literally like twins back in those days because anywhere one find Lora, then be certain Zara would be there. They attended the same college at the same time, studied the same course and did almost everything together.It was just until recently, after they got out of college that each faced their different jobs when Lora started working in her father's company as a finance manager, wholly different from what she studied in college. All because she was afraid her half-sister would overthrow her if she didn't follow her closely by working behind her.Now, the two friends only met occasionally after work or during the non-working days.

    ~~ Brittany's POV ~~“What is going on? What are the officers talking about? That I tried to kill your father?”I glanced down at the cuffs on my mom's wrists, and my chest tightened with despair. It felt as though my whole world crumbled around me as seeing my mom treated like a criminal made me so angry, yet I couldn't do a single thing to help her.“Why would I do such a thing? Why am I being accused falsely? You know, I would never try to hurt your father, so why?” Mom wouldn't stop asking questions that even I could barely answer.A tear rolled down my eyes and I quickly wiped it off to avoid instigating more fear in Mom. As it seemed, the fear and pain in her eyes were so evident that I badly wished there was a way I could relieve her of those emotions.For the past few days, Mom had been the most disturbed and overworked person, from consoling the dead driver's family down to taking care of my Dad and his secretary in the hospital. She has been the one doing the majority of th

    ~~ Brittany's POV ~~I stepped out of Ace's car with my bag hung around my arm. I shot him a glance before shutting the door and making my way into the company.Last night still appeared as a mystery. No matter how deeply I thought about it, there weren't many reasons I could come up with, but the only question that kept lingering in my mind: was he sorry for everything?But he didn't speak about accusing me of having an affair with someone else when I still dated him. Neither did he speak about why he broke off our relationship without a second thought. The deeper I even thought about everything, the more pissed I become at the fact that my body easily gave into his touch last night."Good morning ma'am." I heard, making me halt at the number of workers standing in front of me, including my secretary."Good morning," I said, turning towards the elevator as Clarissa collected my bag and pressed the call button."I've gathered and sent the lists of the chairman's ongoing projects to y
