I slept the entire morning because of the lack of sleep last night. Nonetheless, I have made it to the firm. After waking up, I tried to call Christian but he didn't receive it. Mrs Fisher told me he had already called her after reaching Austin. He also asked if I was sleeping properly and told her not to wake me up.
He's never gonna stop being so caring. This guy has spoiled me to the extent that I crave his attention and pampering all the time. I wonder how I'm gonna survive these four days without him, how I'm gonna relax my body without cuddling with him, how I'm gonna sleep comfortably alone on that damn bed.
I smile to myself while working on my computer. There's not much work in the lab today but I decide to kill my time over here. After all, the vi

ChristianSophia takes slow steps towards me without even blinking her eyes for once. She reaches me. Her lips twitch to smile but she doesn't. Her shaking old hand lifts to my face."Chase!" She whispers in disbelief. "You're Chase? You're alive?"A smile rips on her face. Sophia was the only family Aunty Jen had. That was what I knew about Sophia. Whenever she used to meet Aunty Jen, she used to bring me the same thing she used to bring for Ivanna. That was how affectionate she was. I had only a few memories with her, yet they were filled with affection and love."You have grown up so much", her eyes flicker with her voice shivering in joy. "Come, sit. Let me make you something good to eat. Come"

IvannaDamn him!I seethe, glaring at the rough reply he has sent to me and I wonder if he has even read my messages carefully before reply. Rolling on the bed, I plop on my stomach and stare at the screen. It's been more than a day since we have talked. I understand he's busy. That's why he's there. But can't he just make a call wasting only five minutes? I have that much importance at least. This man! Sometimes he'll be like: nothing is more important than you, Iv. And sometimes he'll act like this. "Don't you miss me, Mr Husband?" I murmur, staring at the photographs on the wall.My eyelids don't meet as I peer at his face in the photo frame. I take his pillow in my embrace and nuzzle it."Seriously, I can't believe it. I think I'm going crazy, huh!" I smile idiotically at the pillow. "I don't think I can sleep without your cuddles. Gosh!"I dig my fac

ChristianI take Ivanna's head on my chest, spooning her in my arms. Silent and helpless, I stare at her, nuzzling her cheek and holding her wrist. "Baby," I whisper, looking down at her burnt hand. It's swollen and red. I can't bear a single scratch on her and now this— "Drive faster," I yell."Yes, master," the butler shivers.The distance to the hospital doesn't seem to end. I can see her face turning pale with each passing second, making my heart twist. She squirms in my arms as her lips shiver."Ch— Chris," she murmurs. Her eyes are still closed."Yes. Yes, baby," I grip her cheek. "What's happening? Tell me"She can barely talk and open her eyes. Only her lips move and she mumbles. "Say something, dammit. Speak to me," I clench her cheek. "It— ache— aches," she whines. "Where? Where's aching? Tel

IvannaHe stays, resting his body on mine and I let him relax for a while. I wonder how much it must be for him. I don't know for how long I have been in the hospital. However, I definitely know he was going crazy all the time. I keep caressing his back with my weak hands and close my eyes, feeling his heartbeat against mine. We have countless precious moments together, from long conversations to cute cuddles to crazy sex. But nothing can beat this feeling when we say nothing and only feel each other's heartbeat, the warmth of arms and only hear each other breath. Because of his weight staying on me for a while, I feel numb and slightly strive to move. He immediately pulls himself back. Feeling him getting up, I open my eyes. His face wriggles in concern."Damn, sorry. I was making you suffocate", he shrugs."I felt better", I say, not sure if he heard me. I'm sounding so low.My nostrils are still

Ivanna"Why are you still here, Chris?" My voice can be heard better than last night, even though I have just woken up. The first thing I saw after opening my eyes was Christian sleeping next to me, bending on the bed. He must have gotten a backache and he's not telling me. I know!I know from the way he's moving now. Sometimes I wonder how I know him so freaking well. Even his body language, his movements, the way he speaks and looks at me. "What?" He rolls his eyes, pouring a glass of water as the nurse checks my pulse. He drinks three glasses of water just now. It's still not enough for him; a jug in a hospital room. He drinks more than seven to eight jugs of water per day!"It's ten and you're still here""Where do you want me to go?""Office or home," I shrug. I can see the symptoms of lack of sleep in his ruddy eyes. He
Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride] Chapter 94 : Culprit in a story
IvannaThe nurse shocks me with the news of Adrian being here. I look at Christian immediately as he shows no loud reaction. The moment was intense between us. As I realise what was happening a few seconds ago, my heart sinks. Christian has never been so desperate to know if I love him. Why now?I understand the feeling but I wanna make sure I don't hurt him later. It's so easy to say you're in love. But it's tough to show. I doubt if I can ever match the level of Christian's love for me. Why should I even confess something when I'm yet to show it?Until I'll be able to get better, I can't."Should I send him?" The nurse asks.My throat dries up right away. I don't know what happened after I fainted in the lab. I hope Adrian has kept the promise he made to me. I hope any of his actions didn't create any doubt in Christian."You're being ridiculous, Ivanna," I scream at myself inside.

I should have known that's you, Miss Benson," he scoffs, getting inside.I roll my eyes at him, grimacing."What do you mean?" I snap and immediately lower my voice. Why do I always forget he's my damn boss?He says nothing and presses his lips while laughing silently. Is he literally laughing at me?I fum in anger and glare at him. Properly.He's not in formal wear today but in a tracksuit, the sleeves of his jacket are folded, sweat scattered all over his sharp look as if he was hustling for hours. And that dammnngod smile.I just wanna kill this man for being so smoking hot.I close my eyes tightly, wave my hand in the air and land it across my face.Slap!You deserve that freaking slap, you bitch.

EmilyMonica climbed into the car before me— next to Kane and I had to sit in the backseat, listening to their stupid gossip. Right now, I'm definitely feeling like killing Ivanna. As much as I try to distract my mind and look outside, I just can't digest all this anyway. "Whops! I didn't know you and Adeline would part ways so soon," Monica says. "It's been a long time. Things didn't work out after college. Then I let it go," Kane replies. "What's up now?"Kane cracks up. "Nothing for now. I didn't feel like focusing on anything except work after college""So, you mean you're available?" Monica laughs.My head starts aching as I grab my head and close my eyes. Nothing seemed to be so annoying before. "Seriously, Monica," Kane laughs. "You didn't change at all""Should I? Well, I wish you didn't reject my proposal years back. Is there any c

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.
