Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride] Chapter 183 : Action
IvannaIt's 6 in the morning. I'm still open-eyed. The darkness has been slowly illuminated as the sun shines through the window. I gulp down and tilt my head to look at Christian. His head is on my chest and he has wrapped his arms around me. I blink twice and my eyes suddenly start burning. I better wash my face before he gets up and finds out I didn't sleep at all. I try to get out of his grip. But he tightens his grip, even more, flinching. I try again."Stay!" He mutters, still drowned in deep sleep. "Chris, I need to go to the washroom", I whisper and try to shove his hands again. This time, he loosens his grip and lets me go. Then he again falls back to sleep. I sigh. Then smile at him. I kiss his forehead before leaving the bed. My head feels immensely heavy. I get inside the washroom. I can hear my heavy breath. It's cold in the morning. But I don't feel like turning the heater on. I turn on the shower and let the cold water immerse me after I slip my clothes down. *I c

Thea"I took an entire day off because you wanted to spend time with me. But I don't think you're in a good mood", John says, looking at the TV screen. I'm sitting beside him on the long couch and his hand is placed on my shoulder. There's barely any gap between us. In fact, I'm half-seated on his lap. After the kids left this morning with Tiffany for school, I asked John to manage to take a day off so we can enjoy a movie. I couldn't take myself out of those thoughts. And I knew if I again invest all my time in everything other than my family, I won't get another chance to fix it all, the way I got right now. It's been an hour since we began watching a film and I was kind of invested in that until something came up inside my head again. "No. I just—" I pass him a smile. "Nothing"He pauses staring at me for a couple of seconds. "I think you're getting bored with this movie""No. It's good. It's actually good", I look at the screen and suddenly get confused. "Well, what did just ha

Thea"I'm sorry. I can give it to Mrs Thea Allen Fox only", the man in the black suit with a file in his hand says. He doesn't look like a courier guy either. I reach there and find John standing in front of him and Tiffany right behind John. I look at her and mouth, "what's happening?"She shakes her head whispering, "no clue""I don't understand why anyone would send a notice from the court for my wife", John blurts out. "Are you sure it's for her?"I freeze for a whole second after hearing that. Letter from the court for me?I shake my head in disbelief when the man shows us the envelope. There's my name written on it. "Thea Allen Fox. Is this the right name?" The man asks. "Yeah. Yeah. It's— it's my name", I almost choke on my spit, wondering what's this about. John looks extremely confused as I take it and sign the receiving paper. The man leaves right after leaving that to me. "I don't understand. Why would you get such a thing?" John shrugs."I'm confused too", I look at t

Ivanna"We'll need another week of observation before we can let you know if the transplant has worked or not. Hopefully, there is a high chance that it has worked", Dr Decker says on the face time. We're standing in the cabin of his assistant while listening to him through the screen."Thank you so much", Christian says. "We can't wait to have the result"The call gets disconnected as we finish some discussion with Dr Edvin who's taking care of Chrissie's case right now. Then we walk out of the cabin. Christian's phone beeps as I begin to say something. He looks at the screen, a line of distress forming on his forehead. Then he sighs deeply and puts the phone back in his pocket. I look at him while walking through the corridor, waiting for him to say something. "What's that about?" I ask."The attorney's assistant. He mailed the notice. It's successfully sent to Thea", he says. I nod, looking down as we walk near the yards. Christian looks outside, watching Chrissie stroll near

IvannaRight now, we're still standing by the corridor, looking at Chrissie. She turns to us and waves from distance and we do the same, smiling. "You were so right", Christian says as his eyes remain darted in Chrissie's direction. "I never thought that way. Now when I imagine not doing anything about it, I can only feel the grudge she would have if she ever got to know I gave up easily"I tighten my grip around his arm and smile audibly. "You know how much courage it took me to bring it up again?""Why?" He laughs, rubbing my shoulder."You were kind of blown up that night. I needed that gut to talk about it again", I chuckle."Come on. That's nothing to be afraid of. You are saying it as if I scare you", he looks down at me, frowning.I nod, "oh, yeah? You don't know how scary it is for me every time you freak out"He rolls his eyes as if I have said something tremendously unfair. "What?" I exclaim. He shakes his head. "Nothing. Just wondering""Wondering what?""That I look sc

Thea"Thea!" Tiffany bangs on the door abruptly, bringing me back to my senses. I immediately grab the papers and rush towards the bed, then I put them under the mattress again hurriedly. "Thea, open the door"She keeps screaming but I make sure she can't find anything. I don't trust her or anyone with such stuff anymore. Especially when she seems to be so freaked out on me all the time. I take a deep breath and release it before she screams again. This fucking woman! I gasp under my breath, "no one's dying, Tiffany. Can you just stop screaming", I yell at the top of my lungs. She finally stops screaming as I surge towards the door and open it. She's standing like a statue, gawking at me. Then she moves her gaze from my head to toe and vice versa as if she's scanning me. "What?" I roll my eyes, crossing my arms at her.She then peeks inside without even answering me as if she's looking for someone. "For fuck's sake, Tiffany", I shrug. "What are you doing?"She hesitantly pulls bac
Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride] Chapter 189 : I know
TheaI clench my fists, gritting my teeth when her words echo inside my head repeatedly. The effect of her words has been so rough and shitty on my sanity that it freaked me out right away. I just didn't know how to react to her blunt confession. Did she really confess that she loves John? She literally dared to love him? I can't believe it. I can't believe the audacity to have such feelings and even confess that to my face. And she must have thought she shut my mouth. She's definitely wrong in that case. She can't shut me down after slamming that fucking confession on my face. Fuming in immense anger, I rush out of the room, following her. I find her running down the stairs and reaching the living room. "Tiffany, stop!" I screech, from the stairs, gazing at her.She turns around, slinging her bag on her shoulder."Not now, Thea. I have to pick up the boys from school", she groans.I ignore her words and come downstairs. As soon as she turns to move, I grab her arm and yank her asi

Thea"You knew?" My voice comes out as a whisper, yet it's filled with disbelief and surprise when I shake my head, wondering if I have heard anything wrong. "You knew all that time?"John pauses for a couple of seconds before he lowers his eyes, letting out a deep sigh. He doesn't respond. And with every passing second of his silence irks me, makes me fum in immense anger. What was he doing the whole time when he got to know that bitch has set her eyes on him? He continued to keep her in my house and let her go near my kids. And he didn't even find it better to let me know. "John! I'm asking you something", my voice booms around the house as his eyes roam around. "There's no need to scream in front of a bunch of servants!" He grunts his teeth. "I always make sure I'm not hurting your sentiments in front of anyone. Shouldn't you be doing the same?"There's harshness in his voice this time. And I regret doing so while I also notice the cleaners looking at us. I look away and grab th

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
