Barely a day had passed when Diego rushed towards Henry's office to deliver the shocking news that was circulating online. “Sir, there’s something you need to see-“ “Not now, Diego. I'm working on something very important,” Henry said dismissively without raising his head. He was a workaholic and once engrossed in work, it was difficult for him to do other things until he was done. “Sir, you told me to tell you if any news about Miss Smith came up,” Diego responded and Henry's hand that was signing documents froze. A flicker of inexplicable emotions flickered through his eyes. He glanced up at Diego and asked, “What news? Did something happen?” His voice sounded anxious. “Yes. Someone has released images of her entering Black and vicious rumours of how she sold her body to gain a partnership have spread all over the internet,” Diego gingerly answered. Henry slammed the side of his fist on the table. His jaws clenched as he said through gritted teeth, “How did she sell her

At the same time, Roxanne ignored all the whispers and continued with her job. That day, she was in a pastel pink suit, a jacket and a mini pencil skirt with a white top beneath the jacket. Her blonde hair was styled into deep curly waves and nude open strapped heels adorned her beautiful feet. Her outfit made her look all the more confident and professional. With her improved mood, she felt like she could fly to the moon. Henry's words kept replaying in her mind. "Roxanne Smith is my fiancée. That's not a rumour, it's a fact." "Anyone who goes against Roxanne Smith goes against me." Roxanne didn't know why but these words made her feel butterflies in her stomach and she couldn't help the smile that crossed her lips. "Have you thanked Mr. Ford for what he said at the interview, Ma'am? His words took the heat off. I think he did it to help you out," Sarah commented as she followed her boss around. Roxanne bit her lower lip. Of course, she understood what Henry was doing but
Mr. CEO, I Was Forced To Marry You. Chapter 15~ Price doesn't matter
A menacing deep voice of a man echoed around them and they all whipped around to face the entrance. Roxanne gasped when the man's wheelchair was pushed into the store by his assistant. She asked, "Henry? How did you know we are here?" Henry glanced at Roxanne and said, "How could I miss such an important occasion? I want to have the pleasure of helping you choose your dream wedding gown." The truth was, Diego was running an errand for Henry in the Ford's Paradise shopping plaza while Henry remained in the parking lot. He happened to see Roxanne enter the Sleek fashion store with Maya and Victor and his ears instantly perked up. 'What is the boss' lady doing in that store?' He silently asked. When he realised they were looking at wedding dresses, he rushed out of the mall to report to his boss who was waiting in the parking lot. "Boss! I've just seen Miss Smith. She's checking out wedding dresses with her sister and her Ex-fiancé!" Henry narrowed his eyes dangerously as a fl

"Great! No problem! I have some sample dresses which she can try on and then, I'll make a new one for her," Hailey responded in a cheerful voice. As she began to call her staff to remove the sample dresses, Henry remarked, "Wait. Since we are purchasing a customised wedding gown, how about we get some privacy? I don't want anyone to see my bride in her wedding dress." Hailey was happy to oblige. She glanced at Victor and Maya before asking them to leave and asked her staff to put a closed sign outside the door. Hearing those words, Maya panicked. She wanted to see the limited edition gowns. At least if she couldn't wear one, she wanted to have a look at them. Looking at Henry, she asked, "Can we stay? I want to see the limited edition gowns." Calmly, Henry glanced at Roxanne and presented, "Do you want her to stay?" Maya glanced at Roxanne with a yearning gaze but the latter did not pay attention to her. Roxanne shook her head and refused outright, "No. I want them to LEAVE.
Mr. CEO, I Was Forced To Marry You. Chapter 17~ Dinner
"Why does your grandfather suddenly want to meet me?" Roxanne asked as they sat in the backseat of Henry's Maybach. After placing an order for the custom-made wedding gown, Henry asked Roxanne to meet his grandfather and when she agreed, he led her to the parking lot where his car was parked. "He invited us for dinner," Henry replied calmly. He didn't know why, but being close to Roxanne made him feel relaxed. Looking at her, he added, "he made it clear that since I have announced our engagement to the public, I should bring his future granddaughter-in-law home." Hearing that Larry Ford had invited her for dinner, Roxanne felt like the knots in her stomach were being twisted violently. Henry might have accepted the bride switch but Larry Ford might be a different case. He was the chairman of the Ford Corporation and Henry’s grandfather. Rumours had it that he was more ruthless and cold-hearted than his grandson. The brides suddenly changing could have angered him. Roxanne was

Roxanne froze at those words and her face paled. "K-kids?" She swallowed empty air and grabbed a glass before emptying its contents but she ended up choking and coughed violently. Soon, she felt a hand on her back as Henry rubbed circles on it. She could feel the heat radiating from Henry's palm as it seeped into her body. A tingle shot down her spine, making her tremble a little. She was too aware of his hand on her back. "Easy there," she heard his husky voice and her heart skipped a beat. He had leaned over while rubbing her back so she could feel his hot breath fanning her neck. Heat crept into Roxanne for some reason. She cleared her throat to compose herself so that she could respond to Larry. Larry wanted grandkids but Roxanne knew they would not be able to fulfil his wish. They were not going to have any kids since their marriage would only be a one-year marriage contract. Thinking of the contract, guilt crept into Roxanne when she saw Larry's excited and expectant e

Maya had raised her voice in irritation. Roxanne had been getting on her nerves lately and seeing her approach the car that Victor sent for her made anger sear through her. Kenneth was in the master bedroom upstairs so she didn't have to pretend to be nice. "Victor sent this car for me. Why are you approaching it before me? You're so shameless!" Miriam glowered at Roxanne and hissed, "Step back, you little bitch! I can't believe you are so shameless. How dare you try to steal your sister's spotlight?" Hearing those words, Roxanne was dumbfounded. She had been sleeping the day off as she waited for the time to go to the masquerade ball when she received a call from Henry. He told her he had sent a car to pick her up and he wouldn't take no for an answer. She found it funny that Maya assumed the car was sent for her. Scoffing, she stepped aside without saying anything. Since Maya was adamant about making a fool of herself, Roxanne decided to give her a hand. "Don't covet thing
Mr. CEO, I Was Forced To Marry You. Chapter 20~ Masquerade ball
Roxanne sighed when the car came to a stop at the venue for the ball. To be honest, she would rather stay home and read books. This type of event wasn't her thing. However, she wanted to attend the ball and see if she could make a few connections that could help her with her mother’s shopping complex. The mall needed more investors if she wanted to expand it and what better place to find them than an upper-class masquerade ball? A gust of wind hit her the moment she stepped out of the limousine. The night breeze brushed against her pearly-white skin and she looked up at the sky, praying silently. ‘Please, let me find a few investors tonight.’ When she reached the entrance, the bodyguards gave her a suspicious look but when she presented her VIP card, they quickly stepped aside and apologised. The hall was decorated in a way that gave off a mysterious vibe. Everyone at the ball wore eye masks so she couldn’t tell who was who. There was another private party on the second floor

Mr. CEO, I Was Forced To Marry You. Chapter 195~ She said yes
Three years later... Henry Ford woke up very early. It was the month of love and a few days before Valentine's Day. As usual, he wanted to do something special for his wife as he asked her to be his Valentine. They had been married for ten years and he always asked her days before the actual day in a special and romantic way. Since this was about them, he wanted to do everything himself. He filled up some red balloons with air and scattered them around the sitting area downstairs and the dining area. After getting busy in the kitchen, he whipped up some breakfast for Roxanne- heart-shaped pancakes drizzled with syrup and strawberries covered in chocolate. He had seen this recipe from a trending video on t-i-k-t-o-k and thought his wife would love it. He then got the roses he had got for her and put them in a glass vase before placing them on the dining table. When Roxanne woke up and looked for her husband, she woke up to the transformed living room and dining room. She
Mr. CEO, I Was Forced To Marry You. Chapter 194~ Family braai
Five years later… It was a Saturday and the Fords were hosting a family braai for their son, Oliver Ford, to celebrate his new age. Roxanne sighed as she glanced at Oliver who was helping his father, Henry Ford. They stood by the barbeque grill stand, flipping meat, sausages and chicken kebabs. Oliver didn’t want a huge party on his fifteenth birthday… he just wanted to spend time with family. However, Roxanne had invited Claire Hamilton and his other friends, Liam Kent and Jake Norton. They had all grown and were now teenagers. Running around playing tag like the younger kids didn’t interest them at all. Claire and the two boys sat at one of the tables. While Claire was taking pictures of Oliver, his friends were busy playing games on their phones. “Are you impressed with your son and husband?” Heather’s voice snapped Roxanne out of her trance. “They look so cute… I swear, Henry is a great Dad and Oliver adores him,” Roxanne replied, glancing at her husband dreamily as he
Mr. CEO, I Was Forced To Marry You. Chapter 193~ Lifetime contract
Diego and Henry rushed to the mansion in less than twenty minutes as if there was an emergency. Henry looked for his wife when he entered the mansion, yelling, "Roxy? Baby, where are you? Let's go to the hospital!" At the same time, Diego followed after him and called for Yolanda, "Princess, let's go to the hospital. The earlier the better!" They both paused when they found their women in the living area laughing and chatting with Larry Ford and Kenneth Smith. Henry furrowed his eyebrows. He remarked, "I thought you said you're not feeling well. You look fine to me..." Larry Ford glared at his grandson. He scolded him, "Son, if your wife says she's not feeling well, then find out what could be wrong with her first before concluding. Should I teach you everything?" Henry scratched the side of his neck. He tried his best to be a good husband but there were times like this when he had faults. Being human, he was bound to make mistakes or maybe say something wrong. He wasn't perfe
Mr. CEO, I Was Forced To Marry You. Chapter 192~ Pregnancy symptoms
Two months had passed since Yolanda and Diego got married. Although they were happy, Diego had noticed that his wife missed her job. Yolanda was an independent woman who loved working for her own money... Of course, Diego provided for her but he could see that she wasn't used to staying home and shopping only. It would even affect her mood sometimes. Diego thought about a way to have his wife get back to her job. Quite alright, it would be dangerous for her to be in the spotlight with all their rivals targeting them but that was why he was around, right? It was his job to protect Yolanda and ensure her life didn't change just because she fell in love with him. So, before he could bring it up to her, he met with his brother and requested to move back to Brentwood City. Augusto glanced at Diego after he made his request, his brows furrowing as he asked, "What is it? Is this place not up to her standards?" "No... it's not that. I just want her to be happy and if doing her job mak

Yolanda's heart was galloping like a racing horse. Diego's promise echoed in her mind, making her look forward to what he would do to her. She tilted her head up, asking for a kiss and Diego didn't disappoint. He connected his lips to hers and kissed her hard. They began to move towards the bed and Yolanda fumbled with Diego's buttons as she tried to undress him. Meanwhile, Diego was busy deepening the kiss with every second that passed. He grabbed the back of her head while the other hand reached between them and he stroked her core, rubbing her clit with every movement of his fingers. Yolanda moaned against his lips. She failed to get rid of Diego's suit and instead, wrapped her arms around his neck and jumped on him, coiling her legs around his ripped torso. In that position, Diego held Yolanda's ass and began grinding his massive erect shaft into her bare core... Despite it being hidden by the branded pants he had on, Yolanda could still feel the tip of his rod, digging at he

Diego carried Yolanda into the cabin. Yolanda's eyes grew wide as she looked around. If she thought the outer form of the cabin was dreamlike, the inside was like paradise itself. The wooden cabin wasn't big. It was like one big room with a small kitchen in the corner, a huge bed in the center, a bubbling hot tub on the left near one of the windows and a bathroom on the right side. The bathroom area had an enclosure for privacy. Not only did they have several acres of land to themselves, but they were surrounded by maple trees with fiery red leaves which could be seen through the huge windows. The whole place was giving "leave the world behind vibes". It offered a perfect blend of romance, peace and refreshment for the newly married couple. "Are we still in our family's estate?" Yolanda asked and Diego smiled. He loved especially the way she used the word 'our' in her question. Sliding an arm around Yolanda's waist, Diego pulled her closer and then put her at his front bef
Mr. CEO, I Was Forced To Marry You. Chapter 189~ Finally found my missing rib
Diego Montero realised something. He loved Yolanda with his all. Whether he waited weeks or months to propose, she would still be the woman he would want to spend the rest of his life with. Yes, they didn't know what tomorrow may bring. But who ever knows? Everyone jumps in without knowing the obstacles they will face in the future. If there's anything he learnt from his former boss, Henry Ford. It's that as long as you had your loved one by your side, any other problem felt like a passing breeze. After talking to his brother, Diego asked the housekeepers to help out with the proposal. Of course, the housekeeper who had helped Dahlia was fired. In the Mafia, loyalty was everything. Diego instructed the bodyguards to control the drones he had shipped over earlier before they travelled. Augusto helped too. He stood downstairs near the drones, waiting for midnight so that they could control the drones to help Diego propose. Yolanda woke up and they had dinner outside on the balc
Mr. CEO, I Was Forced To Marry You. Chapter 188~ A proposal at midnight
Diego didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glanced at Dahlia and asked, "Why did you come back? If you had stayed hidden, at least I would have had good memories of you... but now... you disgust me." "D-Diego... that's not true. Your brother forced himself on me. That's why I faked my death. I was so ashamed-" "Shut up! Aren't you tired of scheming? Do you think I can believe you over my brother? My brother came from the same womb as I... we may fight and not speak to each other for years, but I know he would never do anything to hurt me," Diego's words sliced through the air like shards of ice, cutting Dahlia's words in the middle. "That's not true... why did you leave? It's because you hated your family!" Dahlia answered confidently. She wasn't convinced that Diego had moved on. He loved her very much and could do anything for her... how could his love for her end so quickly? Diego shook his head. He replied, "I left because I was hurt that they didn't want to avenge yo
