Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride] Chapter 18 : Tension arising
ChristianIt takes me enough time to process what Emily told me. I don't doubt her predictions at all. She knows such things better than I do. However, the only thing that is freaking me out is that I didn't take them seriously. My focus has completely drifted from work. I can't concentrate anymore. I'm already stressed out about Chrisanna's health. I didn't see this coming. Covering my face, I breathe heavily to calm down. I'm not sure yet. What if Ivanna is actually just disturbed and it's not a disorder. Emily said she was not sure. I hope this is not true. For that day, I close my work and leave for the villa. *I come back to the villa this evening today. Ivanna and Chrissie mostly aren't here at this hour. Ivanna stays in her firm and Chrissie stays in Emily's place. I would have time to process things. As I enter the room, surprisingly I find Chrissie half-lying on the bed, reading her comic book. "What a cute surprise!" I exclaim with a chuckle as she looks over at me. A

Christian"Yeah. Because I don't think I'm just giving my best to you and Chrissie. I can't tell you how I feel every time I think about the mess in our lives"I pause, gazing at her, figuring out how I should actually feel. I remember what Emily told me. But to the heck! Why? And how? How can she even have such a disorder when I had never given her a single chance to think about such nonsense. "Are you done?" I leave the bed and glare down at her as she gawks at me with her devastated eyes. "You wanted to say. And I listened to you. Now it'll be better if you just dump all the stupidity out of your brain, Ivanna""Why are you talking to me like that?" She exclaims. "Because I could do nothing by talking to you properly", I seethe. "Chris!" She exclaims at my twisted reply. "What? Why are you so surprised? It's obvious that I'll react this way if you utter such nonsense even after I try my best for us""You're not getting it", she gets up and comes in front of me. "I just want to
Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride] Chapter 20 : Speaking her heart
ChristianThe lights are deemed with a cold breeze waving the curtains of the room when I push the door and walk inside. My eyes land on Chrisanna sleeping soundly on her bed. I smile at her and toss the coat aside, rolling my eyes around to find Ivanna. I really regret losing it again. She might be really hurt. And undoubtedly, she might have cried a lot. However, I hope she understood what I was trying to explain to her. I hope she stops thinking that way. In the meantime, I feel something crashing on my back. As Ivanna's hands slide under my arms and wrap around my torso, I realise she has hugged me from behind, resting her head on my back. I can hear her breathing heavily. "Where have you been?" She complains, almost sobbing. "I was around", I whisper. "Don't go like this. I hate it. I hate it when you walk away in anger", she grunts, both anger and agony visible in her tone. "Then stop making me angry. Simple", I scoff. "I'm sorry", she whispers against my back as I hold bo

IvannaI climb the stairs, looking around to see if anyone is around. I feel so weird to wear this. I have left wearing shorts since I feel my thighs turning literally double in size. But Christian is Christian. I understand that he wasn't ready for my confession. And I didn't expect him to be this calm. He doesn't like it all when I say such stuff. I don't wanna be the reason for his stress. And I fear if I keep being a sadist like this, he's gonna get annoyed one day. "You're looking beautiful, Ivanna", Mrs Fisher's voice brings me back to reality as she walks up the stairs when I'm climbing down. She has a sweet smile on her face as she scans me. I smile back at her. "Don't worry about baby Chrisanna. I'll take care of her", she says. "I know, Mrs Fisher. I have been trusting you all for years""That's my pleasure. And I hope you and Master Scott will enjoy your time. It's been so long since you went for a late-night date", she chuckles. I give her a small hug. "Thanks, Mrs F

ChristianHer sudden reaction freezes me. I find her reaction hardening as she clenches her jaw while looking down. I can hear her breathing heavily as if she's fuming out of frustration.What happened suddenly? "Iv, what's wrong?" I scoff, staring at her, clueless. She doesn't look at me, nor does she respond and starts to fill her mouth with food as she aggressively eats. What freaked her out? "Iv!" I call her out again, holding her wrist. She abruptly starts coughing. I panic and pour a glass of water immediately. She drinks half and slams the glass aside. "Eat slowly, babe. Are you alright? What's wrong with you?" I exclaim, gawking at her in search of the answers. "Nothing", she nods as her reaction softens. The frustrated look seems to be gone but she looks upset as hell now. "Iv", I scoff, nuzzling the back of her palm and leaning closer to her. "I'll not repeat it. What's wrong?"She looks up at me now, her eyes reddening. I know this gaze of complaints well. However, I

Thea"Chris!" Ivanna exclaims and I'm too stunned to speak at the tone of Christian. "I could understand if you only bumped into her. But how can she literally fall? You should be careful enough when you're in a public place with people around you. You can't keep pushing people down""Mr Scott, I think you—""There's no crowd around. You could maintain enough distance. Couldn't you?"My throat doesn't even support me to speak when this man is literally shouting at me in front of a bunch of people around, especially those ladies with me."Chris", Ivanna yanks his hand. "Stop, no! It's fine"He groans, looking away. It takes me a while to process things. As much as I wanted to fire back, I gulp the anger down. "I'm sorry again, Mr Scott. I really didn't mean to hurt your wife"He just throws me a blank look. God! He looks more terrific in this furious look."Are you okay, Mrs Scott?" Astrid comes with others."I'm fine. Please don't worry about me. Enjoy your time", Ivanna tries to sm

ChristianI rushed to the hospital as soon as Miss Nancy called me and told me that Chrisanna had fainted in school. I run across the corridor with my throbbing heart. Each time such an incident happens, I feel the fear of losing my daughter consuming me from the core. It's not about her life only. But it's about her beautiful childhood which should be filled with happiness and memories, not with trauma and pain. She battles for every breath daily and it becomes hard for me to breathe.I didn't tell Ivanna about Chrissie yet. I know she will be very angry with me if she gets to know I hid this from her. However, I could finally convince her to go back to her work. If she gets to know about Chrissie, she's gonna come rushing back. I hope it's not serious. Otherwise, I'll have to tell her anyway. As I reach the cabin, I find Miss Nancy standing outside. "Is the doctor inside?" I huff after a non-stop rush from the office to here. "Yes. Checking her out", she says. I inhale deeply.

Ivanna"Ivanna!" Ellen jerks me, bringing me back to my senses. "You overmixed the solution"I immediately look down, stunned. "Damn!" I immediately settle the solutions aside before they can release smoke. "Are you okay?" Ellen asks, holding my shoulder. "You looked so happy in the morning. What happened suddenly?"I don't reply to her. I have nothing to reply to. From the moment I got to know Christian is with Mrs Fox, I started to have some weird feelings. It's his work hour. And she is definitely not into the business.Why would they be together? I heard Mrs Fox shouting abruptly, and Christian was checking on her. I heard no voice from Mr Fox. In fact, I couldn't hear anyone else except them. Did that mean they were alone and together? Why didn't he tell me he was with her?It's too hard to swallow. "I'm fine", I mutter. "Just a bit sick. I want w break I guess""Sure. I'll handle everything. Go and take some rest", Ellen tells me.I walk out of the lab and look into the phone

Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride] Epilogue
JohnGetting married in the 50s isn't that strange anymore. But for me, it was— for a man who believed his marriage would last forever and then believed he would never marry again. I stood before the mirror as Ryan helped other groomsmen with their last fit."You all look pretty handsome. Ready to leave. But I wish Kevin had that time to get a good fit. Your suit sucks!""I feel better anyway", Kevin snarls. I chuckle while fixing my bow tie, watching my sons in their 20s still fighting like toddlers. It's been a blessing for me to have a family which didn't break even after the biggest disaster. And maybe it was because, in our family, it had always been us. Me and my two boys. Their mother wasn't there. The death was just a formality. I didn't really change that much. My boys were happier than ever after she died. It's really mean of me to think that way but it was the truth. They were traumatised because they were kids. As they grew up, I realised they had a better and healthier

Tiffany Emery runs to Sebastian. "Da—dy"And he immediately drives his eyes down and takes her in his arms. They both look at me lovingly. Now, I don't feel bad about pushing the wedding. This feeling would not be the same if we got married before Emery came. Ryan and Kevin walk beside me to the aisle. I wanted them to do this honour because if there's anyone in this world I still love more than Sebastian and Emery, My eyes become teary as I walk to them. Sebastian spreads his arm at me and I immediately dig into his chest.He leans closer to my ear."My beautiful bride"I smile against his chest and look up. He takes my hand and leads me to the centre. I take a look at every one. John, Mr Ryder, Gary, Myra, Christian, Ivanna and the recent teenager Chrisanna. Everything feels so complete and beautiful.

TiffanyI can't figure out how to react and what it's all about because I don't wanna assume anything unreasonable. He's on his knees with a damn ring.It means— God! I can't— comprehend it. My eyes flutter open at his handsome face. No words come out of my mouth. I'm at a loss of words."I know you're shocked! And I'm sorry if I scared you with this sudden—" he doesn't complete, yet keeps his eyes straight into mine. "But I couldn't keep this longer inside me, Tiffany. I had known a long time ago that I needed you in my life. Forever! And I'm not scared to ask you that—"With that pause, my heartbeat stops and my entire body shivers when I wait for him to complete."Will you marry me?" I feel goosebumps littering all over me with those words. Did he really ask me for marriage? It takes me a while to process. His eyes are full of fear and hope and I'm left in shock. Never in my wildest dreams, I had imagined he would propose to me. I hear some people around cheering up and root

TiffanyTime indeed flies like air and it happened in my case in a better way. In the best way, actually. I started my job in the daycare centre with all the lovely kids around which made my life less monotonous after Ryan and Kevin left. They are doing good in their new school and John has also settled into his new office over there. I and Sebastian balanced our life beautifully, supporting each other. As days and weeks passed, our love grew stronger. Among everything, I was happy with the fact that I have my identity now. A good identity. My salary doubled in just three months after joining for my good service and the way all the kids related to me. In a year, I was promoted to manager of the daycare centre, life couldn't be any less beautiful. It's been two years, I and Sebastian are together and we are living our best life. We hardly argued and most of the time it was just silly. He loves to tease me and I go along with it. Sebastian has become the most demanding lawyer in the

TiffanyWe spent the last two days painting the house and I can't describe how beautiful it came out. We did some changes like replacing the furniture and donating some. If everything goes well, I'll be here in less than three days.John has finished all the preparations in Hong Kong and he's leaving the day after we decided to move in. It all happened so fast but I'm glad that John is recovering. It's been eight months since the tragedy and I know it's gonna take years for him to overcome this. I'm happy for him but I would be happier if there was any chance that he finds someone to love him as much as all of us found a person to love.It sucks and I hate the fact that all his life he never found someone like that.I and Sebastian carry the portrayal I had in my room for years. It's a huge one and Sebastian suggested we should place it in the living room because it's beautiful. It's a painting I got from an art summit years back, featuring a mother and her small daughter, surviving

Sebastian"Really, Sebastian? I have never seen you this excited before", Georgia says as I show her some themes I'm confused with and I end up telling her the whole plan. "Isn't it something to be excited about?" I blurt out. "She's moving in with me. Isn't it amazing? People can't even go past dating and we are really moving in!" I tell her and she smiles wider, sitting in front of my desk."That's true", she says. "I'm just wondering what you would do once you guys announce the marriage!" she laughs but on a serious note, it makes my heart stop for a while.She pauses, looking at me. "Sorry. I should not have said that?"I chuckle. "Nah! Nothing like that. I just spaced out when you talked about marriage""Ah! So, that means you're thinking about it", she leans to the desk. I scratch the back of my head with an awkward smile. "I could marry her the moment I saw her! But hell! I'm not repeating any mistakes from the past. Maybe, I'll wait for a while before proposing to her. And t

Tiffany We stop by the nursery. It's one of the biggest nurseries in the city which I can completely believe by the way it looks. The boys run into the green surrounding and I and Sebastian slowly walk to see the plants. One of the workers accompany us, showing us all the kinds of plants we could use for decor. "I want the real ones", he says as I scan those plants which need no sunlight. They would be perfect for indoors."These are real ones too. These are just indoors", I say, watching his expression change. "But I still don't find the realness in them. You can take these. I'll look for others", he walks away to find his REAL plants as I shake my head at him in disbelief.We load all the plants we have got for the decor and Ryan and Kevin took two small ones to plant in the yard. Even though they won't be staying here, they wish to see it all grown up when they would occasionally visit. After that, we stop by a restaurant to have lunch. Surprisingly, Sebastian didn't suggest h

Tiffany We talked a lot today. I'm glad that I took this whole day out for him because we needed to have this conversation. I have finally decided to move in with him. Nonetheless, it'll come with more challenges and I'm ready for it. This decision will not only make our relationship stronger but also give me a world of my own. I can't wait to finally live my life in my own conditions and happiness. Sebastian asked me if he could help me anyway. But I refused to take any help from him as I did with John. It's my call to explore and look for opportunities which I'll be doing from today. I'm thinking about having a conversation with John again. I want him to change his decision of holding back until I settle down. Because that's impossible. I'll need a lot of time to clean the mess and organise my life and I think I'll surely do it if I have Sebastian.I'm glad that Sebastian understood me and more than that he trusted me enough. I'm scrolling through my phone to research the jobs I t
