The evening came by real quick. Henry was pushed into the Smith's mansion by Ace, his bodyguard. Looking casual, he was in a grey polo shirt and jeans. Despite his casual look, he still oozed dominance, giving off the feeling of being superior to others. “Mr. Ford, so nice of you to grace us with your presence,” Kenneth said with a huge smile on his face. “Thank you for inviting me,” Henry replied as his gaze fell on Roxanne. The only reason he accepted the invitation was for her. He wanted to see her. Henry noticed how Roxanne averted his gaze and her face turned red. He arched an eyebrow in amusement. 'Why is she so shy? Is she still thinking about the kiss?' He couldn't blame her. He thought about it too. All night long. Miriam nudged Maya and signalled something with her eyes that prompted her to step forward. “Good evening, Mr. Ford. Let me help you to the table,” Maya said and began to walk towards him. She was clad in a short red dress that had a dipping neckli

Roxanne’s face flushed. An image of Henry kissing her lips passionately flashed through her mind and her heart galloped loudly. She was not going to show him her bedroom! He was dangerous. “Um… sure.” She stood behind his wheelchair and before she started pushing it, she threw Maya a challenging look. In return, Maya scowled at her in hatred. “Would you like to have some air in the backyard?” Roxanne offered after realising they couldn’t go upstairs because the house didn’t have an elevator. Henry shrugged and replied, "Anywhere is fine as long as I can kiss you." Roxanne's face flushed and she was grateful he couldn't see her face. There was a whole zoo in her stomach as his words kept repeating in her mind. "....Anywhere is fine as long as I can kiss you." Henry was such a flirt! She pushed him out of the house and they sat in the garden. Roxanne excused herself to make warm drinks since it was a bit cold. As Henry was waiting for her, someone suddenly walked up beh
Mr. CEO, I Was Forced To Marry You. Chapter 26~ I came to see you
Roxanne whipped around and her eyes rounded at the man who had approached her. Her initial shock soon turned to irritation. “Victor, what are you doing here?” She questioned with furrowed eyebrows. Victor Morgan was the last person she was expecting to see at the mall. What was strange was that he was alone. “I came to see you,” Victor replied as he looked at her. Maya had called him and told him Henry had gone to their house for dinner the previous night. He also heard how Henry injected a capital of a hundred million dollars into the RG shopping mall. Maya wanted Victor to do the same for her so that she could gain favour with the board members too. However, Victor had other plans. He felt really uncomfortable that Henry had invested in the RG shopping mall for Roxanne. 'Roxanne still wants me. She will be happier if I invest in the mall. I'm sure she's trying to get my attention by playing around with Henry Ford.' Those were his thoughts as he decided to come and see her
Mr. CEO, I Was Forced To Marry You. Chapter 27~ Missing
Heather Jacobs waited in the club she had recommended to Roxanne but Roxanne was nowhere to be seen. She tried to call her but the call was redirected to voicemail. A frown marred her face because it had been an hour since the agreed time but thinking her friend could have been stuck in traffic, she decided to wait a little longer. Four hours later, Heather became worried when Roxanne still didn't show up and her phone was off. She had known Roxanne for a long time and knew she wasn't the type to make a program and not show up without communicating. Heather and Roxanne had been best friends from the word go despite their difference in status. Heather grew up in an orphanage and didn't know her parents. However, she never let her background stand in the way of her life. She went to college and became a makeup artist. Glancing at her phone again, her stomach knotted in worry. She ran a hand through her curly dark bouncy hair and sighed, “Roxy, where are you?” A few minutes

At the same time, Henry was seething with anger. He had barged into the Smith residence to interrogate Maya and Miriam but the two denied seeing Roxanne. Maya even found an opportunity to discredit her. “Mr. Ford, there's no need to worry. Roxanne always does this. She disappears to meet men and then returns after some days. I honestly thought she would change after the engagement was announced.” Henry narrowed his eyes at her dangerously, “One more word and you're dead.” With those words, he left the Smith's residence and called his grandfather. “Grandpa, Roxanne is missing! Help me find her, please.” This was the first time he was begging his grandfather desperately and Larry could feel it through the phone. “Don't worry. We will find her. Let me contact my friends in the military,” Larry declared and when he cut the call, Henry clenched his hands into fists. He was on the verge of losing his mind. Someone dared to kidnap his woman, they must have had a death wish.

Beads of sweat coated Roxanne's forehead. She seemed to be having a hard time sleeping. Henry took out his handkerchief and wiped her skin gently. His heart ached when he saw her swollen cheeks. His personal doctor had treated her and the swelling would subside soon. However, that couldn't stop the brewing anger that was bubbling within him. He wanted to find the one behind this and make them pay. Glancing at her face, he sighed and brushed her hair backwards before looking at her lovingly, "I'll never leave you alone again, I promise." As if she could sense Henry's presence, Roxanne quickly calmed down. The creases in between her eyebrows disappeared and she looked more at peace as she continued to sleep. ... It was later in the day when Roxanne woke up from her deep sleep. She gasped when she found herself in a different bed but then, she recalled that this was the bedroom that Henry had brought her to the first time she passed out. Flashes of what she had gone through th

“There... the deal is sealed. You're now officially my housemate and I want you to be as comfortable as possible so don’t feel out of place,” Henry assured Roxanne after letting go of her lips. His voice was hoarse and seductive. Licking his lips, he sighed internally. He could still feel Roxanne’s lips on his and if she didn’t have a wound on her lips, he would have kissed her as ferociously as he wanted. At the same time, Roxanne looked up at Henry, her face flushing an adorable pink. She was still thinking about the abrupt kiss that Henry gave her just now so it took a while for his words to register in her mind. He was so gentle… He kissed her so tenderly as if she was made out of fine china. There was no lust in his kiss but she could feel his strong emotions. It was like he was comforting her. However, just before she could respond, he had withdrawn. Her heart was pounding wildly in her chest when his words finally dawned on her. Officially housemates? ‘I didn’t think I

"From now on, she's my responsibility." Henry's words kept playing in Roxanne's mind and her face turned from pearl-white to pink. That was hot! Roxanne didn't need anyone to take care of her. Heck, she could handle Maya and Miriam but hearing Henry stand up for her had her heart racing like horses in a race. It was hours later after they left the Smith residence. Roxanne took some days off from work and followed Henry on his business trip. They used his private jet so it was a very comfortable flight. At that moment, she was relaxing on the balcony of the presidential suite, watching the spectacular view over the horizon. The hotel was located near the ocean. Roxanne could access the beach directly from her room. It was a serene place that made her relax as the scent of the ocean wafted through her nostrils. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. When she went to open the door, she found a hotel staff waiting with a large bouquet and a box in his hands. "A delivery from Mr. Ford, M

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
