last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
Henry Ford gulped and his heart jumped to his throat. His hands trembled as he thought about the possibility of Roxanne losing the baby.

Regret and guilt crept into him. If only he knew that she would rush to meet her sister, he would have gone with her to prevent such an outcome. What was he going to tell her when she woke up?

On the other hand, Larry Ford's heart was racing. His wrinkled face was etched with worry. He had been looking forward to having great-grandchildren but the way the doctor sounded made his heart sink to his feet.

“Tell us, Doctor. Have we lost my great-grandchild?” Larry asked while Henry just stood frozen in his spot.

Doctor Jericho shook his head and replied, “No, you haven’t but you almost did. Mrs. Ford had a threatening abortion from the fall. We have to keep her here to monitor her and see if the bleeding will continue.”

“So, both mother and child are ok?” Henry inquired anxiously after recovering from his shock. His heart was pounding violently in

    “Please hold your gown to your chest,” Doctor Jericho instructed as he prepared the ultrasound machine. Henry helped Roxanne since she had a cast on her arm and couldn’t move it. He placed a light blanket over her legs to cover her up and rolled her hospital gown up, exposing her stomach. The ultrasound machine had to be brought over to the ward because Roxanne couldn’t move at the moment. Hence, they couldn't do the procedure from the usual scanning room. Soon, Roxanne felt a cool sensation on her belly when the Doctor applied ultrasound gel on her skin. She held her breath in anticipation, knowing she would soon see her little baby. “I’m starting the scan now,” the doctor announced and he began to move the probe on Roxanne’s stomach. Henry held Roxanne’s left hand as both their eyes were focused on the ultrasound monitor even though they couldn’t understand the image it was displaying. They could only see what appeared to be two irregular circles on the dark screen. Howev

    Larry Ford, the chairman of Ford Corporation, had lost his wife a few years after having a son. The Fords usually only had one child to avoid inheritance issues but Larry wanted to change that. Growing up, he had been so lonely without siblings. So he wanted to have more children but unfortunately, his wife died before he could have more. His hope was in Harry Ford, his son. However, he too died prematurely before he could have more kids, leaving Henry Ford as an only child. Larry still didn’t give up. He put all his hope in his grandson, however, Henry was involved in an accident and then he got paralysed for a while. The doctors he had hired thought Henry wouldn’t live long. Knowing he would lose his grandson and any possibility of having great-grandchildren, Larry urged Henry to marry. He brought out the marriage contract between Henry and the daughter from the Smith family and luckily, Henry agreed to go through with the wedding. Larry had been waiting for good news all this

    Maya Smith was anxious. The bodyguards were watching her like a hawk and she had no way of escaping. Her only option was to ask her mother for help. She and her friend, Alisha, sat in the living room. They were even escorted if they wanted to use the restroom. Using her phone to contact her mother, Maya kept sending her messages. Maya: [Mom, where are you? I need help or I might get arrested. I pushed Roxanne down the stairs.] Miriam called immediately, however, Maya cut the call. She didn’t want the bodyguards to know that she was asking for help. Maya: [Don’t call. Text me, can’t talk right now. Henry Ford’s men are watching me.] Miriam: [Why are you so careless? If you had been patient, Roxanne would have died without her death being linked to us. I’ve been planning her demise.] Maya's eyes widened. Anger surged through her as she replied. Maya: [Mom, you should have told me you were planning something. All I wanted was to get rid of her.] Miriam: [Is there any evidenc

    “No... It can’t be,” Kenneth Smith shook his head. He couldn’t believe his ‘kind’ wife would try to harm his first daughter. “There must be some sort of misunderstanding. Let me talk to Henry.” “S-Sir, Mrs Smith escaped after she was arrested. That already confirms that she’s guilty,” Kenneth Smith's assistant, Jayden Kent, reasoned. Kenneth felt like someone was squeezing his heart. His chest felt constricted as though a boulder was being pressed down on it. “W-why? Roxanne is my daughter. Why would they try to kill her? Haven’t they been good to her all this while?” Kenneth couldn’t understand why his wife and second daughter would do that to Roxanne. They showed no sign of hating Roxanne. Miriam was always kind towards her and he could see the concern on her face whenever Roxanne got sick. Was all that a lie? He didn’t want to imagine it because it would mean he had wronged Roxanne all along. “What exactly happened?” Kenneth asked Jayden. His stomach kept twisting and turn

    “Oh my God! What are you- father, no! Don’t kneel down-ah!” Roxanne wound up wincing in pain because she put pressure on her right arm as she tried to get up, causing Henry to rush towards her in worry. Her eyes watered at the nickname her father called her. Back then, he used to call her pumpkin and doted on her a lot. How long has it been since she heard her father call her that? It couldn’t be helped. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she recalled the past. Kenneth Smith wasn’t a bad father. It was just that he believed his wife too much that he became blind to what was really happening in the house. “Father, please get up. I feel strange that my father is kneeling before me,” Roxanne responded, sniffing back her tears. Kenneth gulped. But the lump in his throat felt too big to swallow. He lowered his eyes to the floor in shame. He remarked, “I know I’ve not been a good father. Apart from listening to Miriam and her lies, I also put money and the company first, forgetting wha

    “It is time for me to retire,” Kenneth Smith said as he looked down at Roxanne. He cleared his throat and added, “I’ve been worried about who would take over the company but I’ve seen how you’ve managed the shopping mall in a few months, pumpkin. I can rest assured that it will be in good hands.” Roxanne’s breath hitched. To be honest, she never had thoughts about inheriting Starlight Inc. even though it was her birthright. It brought so much enmity and those who had eyes on the company didn’t give her any peace. The only thing she wanted was her mother’s shopping mall. She couldn’t give it up to the likes of Miriam and her daughter. That would be disrespectful to her mother’s memory. She glanced at her father and responded, “I’m very happy that you consider me skilled enough to take over the company, but Dad, I’m only interested in the shopping mall. I don’t want to be the chairman of Starlight Inc.” Kenneth’s heart sank at his daughter’s refusal. He asked, “Are you still angry at

    Henry hissed. He licked his lips as he watched Roxanne climb on the bed. She crawled towards him and then squatted on top of his face, aligning her core with his mouth. He took his time to admire the view. Roxanne’s peach glowed with her juices and Henry could see the liquid trickling out of her. The sight made his shaft grow harder in his pants. “Fuck, babe. You’re dripping. It must have been hard on you too,” he said huskily as his hands went to her waist. He added, “I’ll take care of that for you.” Roxanne’s face flushed. She was very aware of how this position exposed all of her to Henry. However, the way he looked at her gave her confidence. He made her feel beautiful and free to be herself. Henry’s next words made her blush even more. He ordered, “Ride my face like a pro, beautiful.” The next thing Roxanne knew, Henry had pulled her down and his mouth was on her core as he ate her out with gusto. “Oh, Henry!” Roxanne cried out when she felt Henry’s tongue sliding up and d

    “Sir, huge amounts of money have been transferred from the company’s accounts in the last two days,” Diego Monterro, Henry Ford’s assistant, reported the moment Henry arrived at his office. He returned to work after two weeks of staying with his wife in the hospital. Even though he was working from the ward, he needed a full report of what was helping at the company while he was away. “Who approved the transaction? And what was the money for? How much are we talking about here?” Henry asked. He just had a great and satisfying morning with his wife but then this news dampened his mood. “Jason Hamilton approved the transaction, sir. The money was going to the contractors of our recent project to build laboratories for Ford Pharmaceuticals. It’s about one billion dollars,” Diego answered. Henry furrowed his eyebrows. One billion dollars was a ridiculous amount of money unless they were building a skyscraper. He had seen the proposal and the project would cost at most, 300 million

  • 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

    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
