Niharika NafisaHey guys, I'm trying to flesh out longer chapters but due to my exams, I'm unable to update more than one chapter. This chapter highly focuses on an overview of Colton's book. Don't worry. I won't be stuffing Colton's story more than the necessity. it's just a heads up for the upcoming book which I'll start after finishing Emily and Kane's book. You'll get a few glimpses of Eric and Colton's scenes. I was too burnt to write more today but I promise you're gonna hold your breath from the upcoming chapters.

ChristianWe come to the nearby beach when the sky has turned almost red. I had to choose a place nearby. Under the pinkish sky, I lie on the ground, holding her upon my chest."The sky is still the same", I mutter after a long pause. "A few things never change", she whispers. "But that doesn't matter""Then? Something else matters?" "Hmm", she hums."What?""Those eyes. Those eyes matter— which is gonna look at it"I look down at her lovingly and smile. Cold water hits our bodies, drenching us from our ankles to the waist. I watch her as her eyes longer on the mesmerising view. "Or maybe the person who treats those eyes matters", I whisper slowly near her face. She lifts her eyes slowly at me.Her eyes are swollen and red. I can finally watch them carefully when her frames aren't on. She didn't sleep the entire night and her swollen eyes are proof that she didn't even sleep. It's too rare to get angry with her. I don't want to. I never wanted to. Being ruthless to her would be th

ChristianI freeze for a whole second, hearing Colton's voice note. A huge scream escapes from Ivanna, bringing me back to reality."What?" She starts panicking. "H— how? How can— how can she throw up blood again? My baby. Christian, my baby. How's my baby? Call him. Ask him how's my baby"Ivanna begins to jerk my collar, her body vibrating in terror as she startles. Even though I'm freaking out here, I hold her tightly."Iv, Iv, relax. Please calm down""I can't. You know I can't. Take me to her right now. I wanna see her", she breaks into tears. I hold her shoulder and press her against my torso, leading her back to the car. "Colton. Call him. Chris, call him now", she rants when I make her sit inside and get into the car. "I'm calling him. But stop crying, please", I dial Colton's number and wipe her tears off with another hand. She doesn't stop. Every time Chrissie's health worsens, she ends up panicking and crying like this. At first, she acted strong. I still remember the day
Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride] Chapter 10 : An encounter
TheaThe party seems to be hell boring. I can see a bunch of people gossiping and swallowing drinks. That's it. Nothing fun. I roam around and I had to talk to people I was not even interested in. I could feel many of John's partner's trying to approach me to talk. Even though I was enjoying the attention, no one seemed to catch my attention. It's been a long time since someone caught my eye. In the end, it feels like I have made my standards high. "Thea, did you see Ryan anywhere? I was checking out Kevin but—" Tiffany pauses as I glare at her."Ryan isn't a kid anymore. He must be around. Stop reporting to me about everything. Why did I hire you?" I look around Tiffany is my best friend from college, now more like a helping hand in everything. I wanted to give her a permanent job so she can be grateful to me all her life and I can have her as my assistant in not only handling my kids but all other stuff."Who are you looking for?" Tiffany rolls her eyes."Someone interesting. I c

Thea"You suddenly turned", he says again. "Anyway, I'm sorry"Not only the voice but every damn thing this man has is attractive. In just a couple of seconds, I take an entire glance at his perfect features. Tall and lean, deadly muscular body, perfect facial features. In short, every fucking thing I relish. I can't stop staring at him when he keeps apologising. "Listen, it was definitely not deliberate. Please stop giving silent looks and—" he pauses, maybe with the way I'm gazing up at him. He lets out a deep sigh and rolls his eyes, rubbing his neck as if he's exhausted. "Here!" I grab a glass of chilled water and hold it closer to him. "You look too stressed out, Mister"He glances at me for a whole second. The eye contact, I didn't know I needed. His eyes are dark grey and unusually desirable, and so is the way he gazes at. "Thanks for your concern", he takes the glass and drinks the whole, jerking his arms and tilting his neck as if he's jerking all the exhaustion and tensi

IvannaI can't find words to reply to. I wasn't ready for this, didn't expect this. I have come across people who didn't know me. But in the last eight years, no one has assumed something like this. Why did she feel like I'm a nanny? "Actually— I—", I get interrupted by her again."But seriously. I didn't think that Mr and Mrs Scott would treat their nanny like this. Even my sons have a nanny and she's looking better than you for this party", she tells me and scans me from head to toe. It's humiliating. I feel my body getting heavier with embarrassment and I lose the urge to say anything else. Am I really looking like a mess? I think I am. I should have thought about it before. I should have kept in mind that it's not only about my image but also Christian's.I look at Chrisanna to make sure she didn't hear anything. She has a habit of telling Christian every single thing and I don't want Christian to know what Mrs Fox uttered. Chrisanna is too busy with her drink.And the conversat

IvannaChristian drags me to the centre of the hall room when I keep asking him to stop. I know he's not gonna listen to me anyway. "Chris, please", I plead to him as I feel almost every eye coming toward me. I have never felt so embarrassed. After Mrs Fox had such a big misunderstanding, I'm feeling like I look the worst right here. Christian doesn't listen to me and grabs my shoulder tightly with a big smile towards the audience as I look down.Here I'm standing in a pair of jeans and a top without a bit of make-up on my swollen face which has permanent dark circles. My ruined body which could be hidden if I planned a gown, hair tied in a messy braid. I don't blame Mrs Fox for thinking that way. "Hello, everyone", Christian's voice drags all the attention from each corner, and so do Mr and Mrs Fox. I find Mrs Fox frowning as she sees Christian holding my shoulder.Damn! That's more embarrassing. I don't feel confident enough to look at the crowd. "So, I generally don't do those w

IvannaI turn around and find her wearing a tight-lipped smile. Despite being nervous about the first encounter, I smile back at her. "Hi, Mrs Fox", I mutter. An awkward silence. "Give it to me. I'll feed Chrisanna", Emily takes the plate from me. "You guys carry on"As Emily leaves there, I clear my throat and look at Mrs Fox confidently. "Well, I already apologised but still. I thought to apologise personally. I didn't mean to hurt you, Mrs Scott", she says.Her voice doesn't match her words. I believe she's like that. I hardly judge people by the way they speak."It's completely fine, Mrs Fox. I truly didn't mind. It was obvious that you might not expect Christian's wife like that", I tell her."You didn't mind. But I guess Mr Scott took it really really— seriously!" She takes a sip from her drink. "No. Actually— he didn't—" I stutter. "He didn't want to point you out with that. Actually, I didn't want to be involved in the party because of my appearance. He just wanted to mak

Thea"Thea!" Tiffany jerks me as I roll over the bed, not getting enough sleep. "Thea, get up, I said""God! Tif! Leave me alone. I wanna sleep", I screech, putting the pillow on my face. "What about your morning workout? You never wake up so late. What were you doing all night? Get up, Thea. I wanna talk to you", she keep barking until I jump off the bed while roaring."What's your problem?" Groaning, I struggle over the bed and suddenly my eyes land on the clock. It's too late. Damn! I missed my workout and I'm not even full with enough sleep. "Hmm. Are you in sense now?" Tiffany crosses her arms, glaring at me. "It's not a big deal, Tiffany. And why are you glaring at me like that", I shrug. "Because I can't believe you're doing this", she scoffs."What?" I sneer. "Stop cracking riddles and say it straight. What are you trying to say?""Thea, did you forget that you're married and you have two kids?" She narrows her eyebrows. "No. I remember that and what the hell are you try

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

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
