Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride] Chapter 51 : Evil steps
ChristianWhat the hell am I thinking? Nudging my eyes away from the direction, I correct myself. I can't just get to a conclusion about a woman like this. I have started to question my sanity. Why am I having such vibes from Thea when it all can be wrong? I strive to shove it all out of my head and turn around to leave. "Good evening, Mr Scott", Thea's voice brings me back to the moment and I turn back to her. She still has that smirk on which makes me restless for no reason. "Good evening", I shrug and step back since she has been just half a foot away from me. "Did you like the shoot?" She asks. "It was good", I try to avoid the conversation as much as I can, keeping my eyes away from her. "Seems like, you're still mad at me", she says. "I'm even calling you Mr Scott"I glance at her, pursing my lips. "I don't hold grudges with people, Mrs Fox. Only if they try to not bring up the topic. Again and again!" I keep my eyes straight on her.Surprisingly, she doesn't get annoye
Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride] Chapter 52 : Freaked out
ChristianI panic right after I find my phone switched off and turn it on. I never switch my phone off when I'm outside. Especially for a whole year, I don't remember I ever switched it off because of emergencies regarding Chrissie."I don't know, Sir", Nicole stutters. "I didn't even know it was switched off""I clearly remember it was switched on when I gave it to you", I sneer, shooting her a strong glare."Sir, I'm sorry. I don't know how it happened", she stammers. I don't reply to her anymore and open the call list. There were a lot of missed calls from Ivanna a few hours ago. It was when I was in the studio. The network is too poor over there. But there's a recent call from her just an hour ago. And it was declined.What the fuck?"Nicole, do you want me to teach you your job now? Even after a whole decade", I lash out at her. She literally cut Ivanna's phone."Sir— what— what did I do?" She says on the verge of crying. "What's wrong here?" Kane arrives behind, gawking at us
Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride] Chapter 53 : Miscommunication
ChristianHer eyes are rosy when she looks at me intensely. I can feel the anger behind those eyes— and a bit of disappointment. I know I have caused that. And for the first time, I don't know how to convince her. "Iv", I mutter, tossing the coat aside and walking closer to her. She keeps looking away. I don't understand what's making her avoid me. Well, I did enough things to piss her off today."Baby, listen, I wanna talk to you", I snake my hand around her waist and pull her close to me. She stiffens her body. "Chris, let it go", she says, still not looking at me."I'm sorry", I whisper, touching her chin gently. "I'm sorry for everything that happened today"She inhales deeply and gets herself freed from my grip. "Please, leave this matter. I don't wanna talk about it"She shrugs, surging towards the closet and opening it. She starts taking out my clothes. This!This makes me feel worse. Only if she showed her anger and didn't care what the fuck I'm doing, I wouldn't feel that
Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride] Chapter 54: It's complicated
ChristianMy brain refuses to work as I wonder why the hell Thea would send me her pictures? It takes me a while to react and shut the application off and I make sure I delete the message. There's no way I'm keeping them on my cell phone. This woman is out of my understanding. I don't understand what the hell she's trying to do. Is she the same with everyone or only with me? "Christian, will you please turn the lights off?" Ivanna's pressed voice comes as I look behind. She has covered herself with the sheets completely. Wait!Did she just call me 'Christian'? That's definitely not a fucking good sign. I toss the phone aside and turn the lights off. Then I put the small lamp beside Chrisanna. The portion that occupies our bed is pitch dark right now. Ivanna is lying at the edge of the bed. Usually she lies in the middle, too close to me. Only if she had told me what's bothering her. I'm scared to ask her anything. But the fact that I know she must be battling with a lot more than
Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride] Chapter 55 : What's wrong?
Christian"She agreed to come", Emily's message pops on the screen. A smile of relief comes to my face.I have been worried since this morning, wondering how she'll feel after waking up. She needs to freshen up her mind. When Emily asked for a leave, she told me she would go shopping.I have been thinking about taking Ivanna to the mall lately but I couldn't gather the courage. I didn't want her to feel bad about her change in front of me. That's why I avoided doing that for her. "May I come in?" Kane's voice comes from the door as he sticks his head out through the door. "Are you new here, Kane?" I scoff. "Just come in"He shrugs, clearing his throat and comes inside, surging towards the desk."Well, you're lashing out on your employees like a strict boss nowadays", he says and it comes out as a taunt. "So, I better be careful""Shut up, Kane!" I slam my laptop shut and put it aside."Am I even wrong? Nicole had been crying the whole time and blabbing that she can never make such a
Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride] Chapter 56 : Final decision
EmilyWe leave the mall after the shopping is done. I toss all the bags into the car and we walk to the coffee shop to grab a cold coffee with boba. We walk back to the car, strolling near the streets, but my brain is stuck in the same place. Why did she bring Thea into the conversation? She once told me that she didn't like the way Thea approached Christian but I thought it was a random wifely jealousy. I didn't expect her to compare herself with that woman."Well, Ivanna. I'm confused", I say."About what?""You suddenly asked about Thea. Why?" I ask her. "I mean what made you compare yourself with her"Her reaction hardens as she stutters, "nothing. I was just amazed to see her. That's it""You usually see a lot of equally attractive women. You never ask about them, you never compare yourself with them. Why with Thea?"She gulps down, not answering and it makes me more curious and worried at the same time. I have noticed Thea's unusual actions too. Especially when I saw her peeki

Ivanna"Should I talk to him about Thea now?" I think to myself. No! Not right after he's back after the whole hectic day. I inhale deeply and turn to him as he pulls me closer to him. He kisses my forehead, near my nose and down to the corner of my lips. "How was your day?" I ask."Exhausting yet good", he tells me."How was yours?""What do you think it can be?" I chuckle, wrapping my arms around his neck and lift my head, going on my tiptoes. "Let me guess", he presses his lips. "Had fun, also a lot of gossiping""Yes", I crack up, kissing his lips again. "Let me show you the dresses""Aha!" He doesn't leave me. "I know it all will look good on you. And I'll prefer to watch you instead of watching anything else"He presses his forehead with mine, not ready to leave me. It seems like he wants to say something as I'm trying to. "Come on! Get a shower. We'll have dinner together finally", I tell him. He parts away after another short kiss and smiles. "Okay"*I climb downstairs

ChristianIt's been a while since I'm back to the villa and I haven't gathered the courage to speak to Ivanna yet. I know whatever I'm going to do isn't wrong but the fact that she may take things the wrong way scares the hell out of me. I often miss Ivanna who used to understand me despite anything, who used to believe in my words, my decisions, and my suggestions. Even if we shared different points of view, she had always been understanding."I just wanted to remind you that Andrea will be unavailable for the next two days. It'll be better if you take Ivanna to her tomorrow itself", Emily says on the call.I remain silent. Even though I can hear her, I might have forgotten that I had to speak. I had to reply."Can you hear me?" She asks a bit louder."Yes!" I mumble. "Are you still not sure about it?""I don't know""That's not a convincing answer", she groans. "It's been like weeks since I suggested this to you. It was enough time to think and take a decision"I part my lips and

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. Mr Ryder comes and takes Emery from Sebastian even though she doesn't wanna go. With the pastor's words, Sebastian and I looked into each other's eyes deeply. "I, Sebastian Ry

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
Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride] Chapter 294 : Got a way
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
