~~ Ace's POV ~~

Reviewing proposals in my computer, my mind frequently drifted away as I fervently glanced at my cell phone, but nothing came. Despite knowing the consequences of what I was doing, I was still utterly curious at her reaction. If not, reactions.

I was obviously making a bigger fool out of myself but with the outcome of events, it was my fault to begin with. So, the only thing that crossed my mind all day was to make amendments for my mistakes.

When the call I had been expecting throughout that day finally came, I gripped my cell phone with so much anticipation.

“Sir. Ace, it's all done.” Mrs. Lucia expressed, as if suspecting my inquisitiveness and I just nodded.

Relief washed over me as I exhaled sharply. The first step was done and only awaited confirmation which I could no longer pretend to wait. I wrapped up work as I glanced up at my personal assistant to see her staring intently at me, only to lower her eyes when mine got caught with hers.

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 61 - Unwelcomed guest.

    The cold, refreshing wind suddenly turned into hot and sultry as Jake stood rooted to the ground. He was still in a dilemma after Brittany bluntly rejected him and since she left him there on the rooftop, he didn't bulge from where he stood.This was the main reason he'd feared to tell her about his feelings until he accomplished his goal of making her fall for him but that didn't go his way. Finally, he was able to move his feet closer to the low fence as he dipped his two hands into his pockets while staring into nothingness in the sky. He was reflecting on the past, his mind so engrossed on the first day he met Brittany in college and how it'd been between them, that he didn't notice Lora show up behind him.She was trying to catch her breath upon rushing up there after the little clash with her half-sister back in the office. It was almost as if she thought he would have been long gone from the rooftop but it was the exact opposite when she got there."Looks like someone just got

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 62 - Emma's request..

    ~~ Brittany's POV ~~Their gaze averted to me at once and I stepped out of the dining area. I wanted the ongoing drama to last a little longer after overhearing their loud voices from the kitchen. But it ended earlier than I expected. It was quite satisfying to see someone else stand against Elvira and her arrogance.I was forced to butt in when Elvira almost overstepped her boundary as I approached them with a straight face, looking like I wasn't the one smiling earlier when Charlotte gave Elvira what she deserved."And what makes you think I'm unwelcomed here? The last time I checked, this isn't your house." Elvira replied me with a masked expression. It was obvious she was trying to suppress her anger, replacing it with a small smile as she dropped her hand and folded her arms against her chest."You should get your facts right. I might not be a direct owner but you wouldn't want me to state how much rights I have around here, higher than you can ever imagine. Why? Because I'm the

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 63 - Best friends.

    ~~ Brittany's POV ~~“Someone is here to see you, My Lady.” A servile voice brought me back to reality. A maid's head was bowing downward with hands clasped together in front.“She says she is an old friend of the Young Ms.” She added, causing my brows to furrow. An old friend? Was it mine or Lora's?I shot Mom a quick glance and her expression was not any different from mine—surprised. “What did she say her name was?”“Ms. Shantel James.” That name rang a bell in my head as it sounded really familiar. Shantel, Shantel, Shantel? I chanted that name in my head, a jolt of excitement slowly rising through my veins. Was it the same Shantel I knew? “Let her in.” Mom ordered, and the maid left, returning a few minutes later with someone else trailing behind her.They got closer and the maid deep bowed one last time before walking away, giving me a clear opportunity to see the lady behind. At that moment, my eyes lit up in excitement as I sprang up to my feet. At the same time, she spread

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 64 - A history no one knows.

    ~~ Ace's POV ~~"Welcome back, Sir. I hope you had a wonderful business trip." My secretary collected my briefcase as I stepped into the elevator and she followed suit. I didn't say a word as I fixed my two hands into my pockets. Soon, the elevator binged open, and I walked out, ignoring all the worker's greetings on the way. Finally, I reached my office and my suit jacket was the first thing I pulled off, hanging it on its stand. As my secretary dropped my briefcase beside my desk, I sat on my swivel chair, resting back on my seat."Get me a cup of coffee," I muttered, shutting my eyes.I heard the door open and close but after a few seconds, it opened again. Forcefully this time."I'm sorry, Miss, but you have to book an appointment first, and you can't just barge in like that." My secretary's annoyed voice made me open my eyes to see yet an unfamiliar person in the office.The person whom I guessed forcefully opened the door was a lady but I could barely see her face. My brows fu

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 65 - Let's meet.

    ~~ Brittany's POV ~~I pulled up in front of the company as I turned off the car's ignition. "So, you're going back?" I inquired, resting back on the car seat."Yes, I'll be going back first thing tomorrow morning. I still have a few things to finish before I return to America fully." Shantel answered the call, her voice booming through the car's speaker.A sad sigh left my lips as I pursed my lips together. "It hasn't been a week since you returned. Why do you have to go back so soon?""I know, right? But don't worry, I'll be back before you know it. I'm only going back to wrap things up and I'll return in a blink of an eye." I could detect the sadness in Shantel's voice despite her strong-willed assurance, and I knew better than to keep being unlively.One person had to motivate the other. That was what friends were for. Besides, her reasons were understandable, and she had already given Jake and me a heads-up during our last outing at the bar."It's fine. I wish you good luck with

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 66 - A date.

    ~~ Ace's POV ~~A few minutes past seven and I'm seated at the far right end of the restaurant, staring through the transparent wall at the city's glow outside. My index finger tapped quietly on the table as I waited patiently for Brittany's arrival. Meeting her for dinner on such a cozy evening was impromptu. Therefore, it made me a little hesitant when she called. To her, it was just for business talks and the like, but to me, it was also perfect for a date. Which was why I was going to make tonight blissful and in the process, bring back old, cherishing memories.After what seemed like a lot of time had passed, I eventually flashed the entrance a sparing glance to see her dazzling and elegant form walking towards me. My heart skipped a beat at the sight of her approaching figure, and the feeling of nostalgia hit me. It felt as though the rampant emotions that I had managed to bury deep inside me came rushing back at once, overwhelming me with nothing more than guilt from my terrib

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 67 - Flushed with embarrassment.

    ~~ Brittany's POV ~~ Things started a bit awkward between us. I didn't know if I was the only one who felt the awkward moment, especially when he kept acting like his sudden act of kindness was normal. It was so unlike him to me, though. I mean, he suddenly broke up with me in college, and we've been at loggerheads with each other for years, even after marriage. So, his gestures were so unexpected. But since it had already begun, something in me wanted to enjoy that part of him for a little while. That part of him that he only showed to me when we were still dating. This was not until Elvira showed up at the restaurant and ruined it all. Her presence frustrated me out of the place for two reasons. One was to avoid unnecessary drama in front of the other people in the restaurant. The other was so I could confirm whom Ace truly wanted around since I would rather believe the devil than believe whatever Elvira says. The little figment of curiosity in me crashed to realize he chose Elvi

  • Married To The Casanova CEO   Chapter 68 - Suspicious actions.

    ~~ Brittany's POV ~~"Take the files to the Operations department. Tell them to work on it and send it back to my desk before the weekend.""Also make sure the head of the department briefs you on all you need to know about the projects at hand against our next business trip. Okay?" "Clarissa?" I lifted my gaze from the computer when I didn't hear any reply. Clarissa was standing in front of me, staring back at me yet her mind seemed to have wandered away. My brows furrowed and I knocked on my desk thrice as I called out loudly, "Clarissa!""Yes ma'am." She answered hurriedly, looking taken aback. "I'm sorry for getting lost in my thoughts." Her apology followed next as the realization of what she had just done hit her.I took off my spectacles and sighed, a look of concern replacing the one of surprise on my face. Initially, I was surprised at her action. But at the same time, this was the first time she was doing this in my presence since she started working for me. So, I believed

  • 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

    ~~ 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

    ~~ 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.

  • 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
