"Sir, why didn't you tell Miss Smith the truth? Won't it be better if she knows what is going on?" Diego asked after Henry cut the call that he made to Roxanne.

Henry clenched his jaws and clutched the phone in his hand tightly. He knew the call he received that day was leading him to a trap. His men had informed him the Hamiltons were planning something and he decided to play along.

"No. I'll tell her later... I'll only put her in danger if I tell her now. She might become their target if they think they failed in their schemes to deal with me," Henry said through gritted teeth.

He hated leaving Roxanne a few days before their wedding but he didn't have a choice. His enemies were up to something and he had to make them believe they had won. That was the only way she would be safe until he was sure he could protect her.

"Miss Smith will be worried though..." Diego remarked and continued driving towards Redwood City.

Henry closed his eyes and thought, 'I know. She will think I

    “Wow… the bride is the first one to arrive. Where is the groom?" Miriam said when Roxanne arrived at the wedding hall. "This is unheard of! How can the groom be late? Or is he having cold feet?” Roxanne rolled her eyes at the mockery in her stepmother’s voice. By now, almost everyone knew Henry had disappeared and switched off his phones but Roxanne still decided to dress up and go to the wedding hall. Her heart was under her feet after stepping out of the Rolls Royce. She was donned in the gorgeous white princess gown that Henry had customised for her. Her blonde hair was curled into an elegant updo with pearl pins holding it in place. She didn’t wear a veil because Henry wouldn’t be able to lift it off while in his wheelchair. The days came and went and it was finally the day Henry and her would tie the knot. However, she had been waiting outside the hall for some time and the groom wasn’t there yet. Only his best man had showed up and he seemed to be looking at her with pi

    ‘This is a nightmare,’ Roxanne said in her mind as she walked down the aisle. This was supposed to be the happiest day of her life. However, instead of it being perfect, she had become a laughing stock. Almost everyone was waiting to see her make a fool of herself. She glanced at Maya and Miriam who were now seated in the front row. Their victorious smirks felt like sharp objects were piercing through her organs one at a time. ‘Could Henry have really changed his mind about marrying me?’ Although she trusted Henry, she couldn’t help but let other people's negative words get to her. Henry had been out of reach for a week after all. She couldn’t blame everyone for thinking she was dumped at the altar. Regardless, Roxanne walked towards the altar with her head held high, praying silently that Henry would show up at that moment because her enemies would rejoice in her misfortune if he didn't. “Are you marrying yourself?” The officiator asked and Roxanne’s stomach lurched as the

    Henry's eyes softened as he glanced down at Roxanne. As expected, she looked breathtaking in her wedding dress. "You look beautiful," he murmured as he admired her. He wanted so much to grab her and hold her but he held back. After a few minutes, he could hold her as much as he wanted. He had stayed away for a reason. If Roxanne had shown any signs of Henry contacting her, his enemies could have changed their plans and attacked her instead. Henry purposefully disappeared to protect her. He had pretended to be weak and willingly got kidnapped. Thereafter, Henry's men subdued the thugs and then forced them to contact the person who hired them to report to him that Henry had been dealt with. Henry smirked when he thought about the look that Jason must have had on his face at the moment. He wasn't going to retaliate just yet. Henry was still investigating the Hamiltons to find all the dirt on them so that he could keep them behind bars for life. He wanted to make them pay for the

    Roxanne couldn’t help it. As Henry said his vows, tears rolled down her cheeks and her heart fluttered wildly. She never thought the man who was standing in front of her would ever fall in love with her. After all, Henry himself had proposed the deal for a fake marriage. However, as he looked into her eyes, donned in that slim-fit navy suit looking like a prince from an otherworldly kingdom, her heart swelled with warmth. His words felt like a heavenly symphony that came to liberate her soul. “I’ll be faithful to you, I’ll trust you and I’ll love you till my very last breath,” Henry added after a few seconds of brief silence. He noticed Roxanne wasn’t ready to speak yet so he prolonged his vows. Taking out his handkerchief, he helped to wipe her tears. “I hope these are tears of joy. I don’t want to ever make you cry unless it’s because I gave you good sex,” Henry joked and the crowd laughed. No one knew the aloof CEO could crack jokes. A few people were in tears too, just

    Henry’s heart felt at ease as he held Roxanne in his arms. He smiled when he recalled the night of the masquerade ball. ~Flashback weeks ago~ Henry stared at the door as Roxanne walked out of his villa, looking sexy as fuck. ‘I shouldn’t have chosen that dress,’ he murmured. Knowing Roxanne was attending the ball, Henry sent a car for her and had some stylists work on her. When they were done, his jaw almost dropped to the floor. Her ethereal beauty was so mesmerising that his throat instantly went dry. The way the black dress hugged her figure, exposing her creamy thigh... Henry couldn't help it. He felt his shaft twitch in excitement. Thinking other men would admire her, he decided to join the ball incognito. “Ace, prepare the car. We are going to the ball,” he said and stood up from his wheelchair. He could walk all along but he pretended not to so that those who were after his life could relax and think he was weak. After dressing up, he showed up at the ball. No

    "Oh, Henry," Roxanne moaned and bit her lower lip as Henry licked her nether region. Her back was against the glass shower wall, her legs spread apart while Henry was on his knees with his head between her legs. Roxanne had suggested showering before they could consummate their marriage. She insisted even though Henry didn't mind. Ten minutes later, Henry joined her in the shower, butt-naked. His metallic stiffness was already standing to attention, hitting his thighs as he moved. "I want you, love," he said in a husky voice. Roxanne blushed but she boldly stared at the gorgeous man in front of her. 'I want a piece of that,' she thought as her eyes trailed to his massive cock. Noticing where Roxanne's eyes went, Henry smirked and grabbed his shaft before stroking it as he approached her. Warm water was running down the shower, and now, Henry became soaked in seconds. His dark hair formed bangs in front of his forehead while water trickled down his well-defined chest.

    Roxanne arched her back off the bed when Henry impaled her core with his hard shaft. She gripped his muscular arms and dug her nails into his skin, her eyebrows creasing at the pain that ripped through her. “Shit…” Henry groaned and stilled for a moment to let her adjust to his size. He felt like he had squeezed himself into a very tiny hole. “You’re so tight, babe.” A few seconds later, he withdrew from her and plunged into her again, eliciting a moan from Roxanne. Following that, Henry proceeded to make love to her, slowly and gently, hissing when he felt tingles run down his spine. The pain lasted for a few minutes and soon, Roxanne began to feel pleasurable sensations each time Henry thrust in and out of her gently. After the pain turned to pleasure, she relaxed and wrapped her legs around Henry’s torso. Henry held one of her legs up and began to make love to her more fervently. He glanced into her eyes and while maintaining eye contact, he made sharp thrusts that had Ro

    “So, why did you pretend to be disabled?” Roxanne asked Henry when they woke up later in the evening. She suddenly remembered that Henry had promised to tell her about his secret later. They were both naked and their bodies were tangled beneath the silk white sheets. Henry made love to her until she couldn’t take it anymore and passed out. Having been so tired from their sexcapades, they were not able to go out and explore the island. They decided to sleep after having a warm meal. However, Roxanne wouldn’t have it any other way. She loved the way Henry craved her all the time. It boosted her confidence and made her feel wanted. Henry placed a kiss on Roxanne’s forehead before replying, “I wanted to fool my enemies. When I returned to take over the company, I was suddenly involved in a very terrible accident.” He inhaled sharply as he recalled the incident. His car was suddenly hit by a speeding truck and then overturned four times in the air before crashing to the ground. A s

  • 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

    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

    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

    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

    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
