Chapter 36: An Expensive Gift
Last Updated:
2023-08-26 00:35:00Ariadne paced back and forth around her room. Her thoughts were everywhere as she placed her hands on both sides of her waist. The steamy make out session she had with Denver after breakfast still sent shivers down her spine.
‘Why? Why did he kiss me?’She subconsciously lifted her hand and rubbed it on her lips, smirking at herself as her mind went back to the steamy session a few hours ago.But they got interrupted by a call. That phone call was all it took to break everything. And Denver left immediately after taking that call. Her restlessness grew, and uncertainty gnawed at her.‘Did the kiss mean anything to him? Or was it just a fleeting moment of passion? A mistake?’ She glanced at her reflection in a nearby mirror, her lips still tingling from their heated embrace.Denver had left so abruptly, leaving her with a flurry of questions and doubts.She closed her eyes, trying to replay the moment in her mind – the way his liRelated chapters
Mr CEO’s Little Heartthrob Chapter 37: To Her Apartment
As Ariadne hurried through her breakfast, excitement bubbled within her. She couldn't wait to get to her apartment and spend some time in her own space. She waited for Denver to get ready so they could depart and while waiting, she straightened her disheveled hair with her fingers by running it through the hair.When he was finally ready, she was waiting for him with a warm smile. He held the door open for her, and she climbed into the car beside him.The cool breeze rustled through her hair as she gazed out of the window, anticipation building with each passing block. It was only a few blocks away from the university gate, but the distance felt longer with her eagerness.When they entered the apartment building, Denver pointed towards a sleek Mercedes Benz parked nearby. Ariadne's eyes widened as she looked him in the face.Denver chuckled at the look on her face, “Of course, that’s your car. Didn’t you look at the car key at all?”

It’s been over three months since Ariadne and Denver kicked off their relationship and the going had been great so far.The duo has been getting all lovey dovey at every chance they get.They are together most of the time. It is either Ariadne went over to Denver’s apartment or Denver visits her apartment with any of his usual random excuses because he would never admit that he missed her hence the visit.The few times they are apart from each other for more than twenty four hours, they speak to each other on a video call to check on each other.Anybody who is close to Denver could notice that he has been glimmering in the recent months and he tends to smile often now.In the past, he had always maintained a poker face, which greatly frightened the company staff making them to be on their toes whenever they were around him for fear of making mistakes and getting yelled at.Now, they are excited to come to work daily. Some of them

‘How is she better than me? Huh? How? She’s just a stupidly naive girl still undergoing her university education. She’s also from an unheard family background. What help can she offer to his career?’Although Molly herself was also from an unheard background, she used Ariadne’s background as one of the excuses to malign her. Poor people are said to have this common attitude of feeling disgusted whenever they encounter their fellow poor individuals because they remind them of themselves and make a ridicule of their own stupid attempt of pretending to be rich.Seeing their interactions and how easily Denver smiled at Ariadne, Molly felt like a joke. ‘For so many years, I have tried my best, including imploring numerous tactics and tricks to remain within his gaze hoping to penetrate his heart someday. I have done so many things and he didn’t kick against them, so I thought I actually hold a place in his heart’‘Why? Look at how he smiles at he

Molly: Are you truly deluded into believing that whatever you have with Denver will last? Do you think his mother will accept you? Come on bitchhh…. As the president of a company as big as BrentWes Group, do you really think she would allow her only son to marry a no name like you? Hahaha… joker.Ariadne could feel her hand trembling and her phone dropped to the floor.‘What? Denver’s mother? President of BrentWes Group? How’s it possible?’With her trembling hands, she picked up her phone again, wiped the screen and proceeded to surf the internet for some information. As she struggles to type in the words, her heart did a hundred leap and she could not imagine what her fate would be like if this had any atom of truth.Having typed the words, she hesitated before she hit ‘search’. That split second it took to load and pop up the information she was looking for was the longest second in her life.Summoning her last ounce of courage, she lo

‘Did he come to Pendelton just for me?’ She thought. ‘No, it can’t be. He must have been here on business.’ She convinced herself, shaking her head in disbelief.She stared at him for a while and saw that his face was pale and he appeared very exhausted. In fact, there was fatigue in the pockets under his eyes. ‘He must have been very busy and forgot to catch some sleep.’‘Wait! Why am I worrying about him now? Didn’t I come down to Pendelton just so I could avoid him?’ She doubted herself, while slapping her hand on her forehead. Ariadne was thinking that her actions were a joke.‘I left him behind and now I’m worrying about him… What a joke,’ she mused, mocking herself.“Ariadne! He said he is here to see you!” Her mother’s voice came in a high pitch, drawing her out of her salient thoughts.She gave him a thorough look over once again. He had deep blue eyes, inky dark hair that was properly styled and glossed till it shone, a well stud

Ariadne mocked herself for being so fickle. Just one challenge and she was already recoiling into her shell. Is this how she is going to deal with the challenges in the future? ‘Wake up Ariadne! He is a CEO! It is normal that he would attract rich young ladies. The key is that I am the only one he loves. So I need to be strong to be able to face them if they try to slight her.’ She thought to herself.She looked at her father again and saw that he was feeling angry within despite his outer appearance of being courteous. Fear gripped her and she worried that if the discussion goes on, there might be a ruckus later. Ariadne's mother chimed in, her voice tinged with worry. "Yes. We just want what's best for our daughter. You're from different backgrounds, and we're worried about how that might affect your future together."Denver's gaze didn't waver as he met the older man's eyes. "I understand your concerns, Mr Bardell. But I also want you to unde

When the doctor noticed her panicking, he held her on her shoulders and added, “don’t be scared. She just needs a little quantity for quick recovery.”“In the absence of any donor, we can still try to steady her with other treatments for a few days and she will get better.” He clarified, in order to comfort her.Hearing the doctor’s words, she could see some glimpse of hope and she nodded vigorously, fighting hard to prevent her tear filled eyes from experiencing an outpour.“Doctor, she is the only member of my family who has the AB Negative blood type. Please help my daughter,” Daisy found herself pleading while holding her hands together in prayer.A violent cough caught in her throat as she spoke. She has been sniffing for so long and this prompted the cough to gather at the back of her throat.By this time, Denver had returned to their position and when he saw her begging the doctor while clasping her hands together in prayer, he loo

She is awake!“Ariadne has regained consciousness!”Daisy rushed and hugged her daughter’s side. She was careful not to press down on the girl with her own weight by hugging her chest directly. “My sweet baby, you got me so scared. I thought I lost you” She was tearing up while hugging her daughter’s side. “Please don’t faint on me again. I beg of you. I’m advancing in age now and my heart cannot carry too much shock.”Everyone in the room watched on as she was acting all dramatic, and they all had one similar feature; the huge smiles on their faces.They were elated to see that Ariadne had regained consciousness. What this means is that if she takes her recommended rest just the way the doctor stated it, then she would be able to go home in a few days.“I’m glad you have woken up!” She could hear her father interject in a low hoarse voice that sounded like he had been crying.Ariadne blinked her eyes many times in conf

Mr CEO’s Little Heartthrob Chapter 56: Meeting Queen Dowager
“Is she really his fiancée as was rumored by everyone in the company?” She found herself mumbling to herself.Ariadne got too carried away by her running thoughts that she couldn’t have a good meal during the lunch break. Her mind was preoccupied with how she was going to ask Denver for an explanation.Although she trusted him, she couldn’t help but be worried. Imaginations of different responses from him kept flashing through her memory.‘What if this is all true?’ She would stare into oblivion at intervals while working.Just like that, she spent the day drifting away amidst working and couldn’t be more relieved when it was clocking out hours.Right as she strengthened up, picked her bag and made to leave the office, she bumped into Estelle in the elevator. “Miss Bardell, we’re meeting again.” The haughty looking princess called out. Ariadne wasn’t in the mood for her irritations and simply nodded. Seeing that Ariadne wasn’t speaking to her, Estelle fumed within her but on second
Mr CEO’s Little Heartthrob Chapter 55: She is Back!
Denver was more shocked than surprised to hear those words. There could only be one person in the world who would dare to say those words to him. That person could only be Estelle Hargensen, the girl his mother had betrothed to him when he was a child. Estelle hence can be said to be his betrothed fiancée. He clenched and unclenched his fist nervously. He had already forgotten about her and her entire existence, having not seen her in the past ten years because she had been abroad all the while.‘Why is she back in Maldonia now? Did my mother ask her to return or was it her own intention?’ He thought.Denver thought about Ariadne and the possibility of Estelle’s return coming in the way of his relationship with Ariadne and fear knotted inside him. “Hello! Are you there?” The voice from the other end came again, jolting him back from his assailing thoughts.“What do you want?” He finally responded when he found his voice.“I’m at the airport. Your mother asked that you come pick me u
Mr CEO’s Little Heartthrob Chapter 54: Thinking Alike?
With that thought, she lifted herself on one toe and planted a kiss on his cheeks. Seeing that he wasn’t fazed, she repeated the action again on the other side of his face. The third time, she went directly for his lips and bumbled on them. She kept trying to gain access to him. It seems like Denver was out to punish her for he refused to part his lips to give her full access.When she appeared to be getting tired and was about to give up, he snaked his hand behind her neck and drew her head closer, pressing it firmly against his lips and he took full control of the kiss, cradling her head in his hands. He kissed the nape of her neck, making the world go away with each kiss. She was fully consumed by his kisses. When he finally broke it, she was struggling to catch her breath and she staggered backwards.However, Denver was reluctant to let go. She was still struggling for breath when he inched very close to her once again, so close that they were almost a breath away, catching her

Ariadne could not believe her ears when she heard it. She angrily walked up to Grace to confront her. “What’s this talk all about? Why are you maligning me?” She asked, staring at Grace with iciness in her glare. Her fists were clenched tightly, desperate to punch somebody’s mouth until sense returned to the person’s head. “What?” Grace retorted defiantly, standing up to Ariadne. She looked like a little kitten challenging the neighbor’s well-bred fat cat when she did so.“Did I say anything wrong? I saw you dropping off a Mercedes Benz a few blocks away from the company today! You were dropped off by an older man. Am I wrong?” She said in a high pitched voice and hissed loudly.Ariadne was at her wit’s end at the girl’s opinionated display of superiority. Yet, she did not fret and rather tried to calm herself down so as not to explode.Grace felt aggrieved. She had seen Ariadne coming down from the passenger’s side of a Mercedes Benz. When she strained her neck to see who dropped

The young man could feel his feet trembling due to fear and he summoned courage to refute it. “I didn’t do anything. So what if my screen captured me? It’s my workspace.”He knew how camera monitoring works, so he was thinking that as long as he doesn’t admit it, they can pin it on him.But what happened next is what he didn’t expect. One of the burly men snatched the laptop inside the bag the young man slung over his stomach and brought it to Ryker. Ryker took it and connected it to the big screen. In a minute, everyone was staring at a system virus on the big screen.“Then what is this virus on your computer?” Ryker threw the question at him and continued almost. “This virus is added to the defense force of the company’s internal network system as a phishing function. You are a tech guy and don't need me to explain to you what a phishing function is”“The key is, this virus can only be on a person’s laptop if the person attacks and invades our company’s internal network system.”T

“How long have they waited?” Denver asked Ryker as soon as his car drove into the company’s parking lot. Ryker was already waiting for him downstairs.“Almost two hours.” Ryker responded.Denver simply nodded his head and walked into the company building.When he got to the top floor, he entered the conference room and sat down at the head of the conference table.The shareholders quietened down at the sight of Denver. They all wore their serious faces and warmed themselves up to throw accusing fingers.As soon as he slumped into his seat, he signaled for the meeting to commence, while he sat down to watch the drama unfold.At that time, one of the shareholders volunteered himself and stood up. The shareholder, Oliver stood tall and his height kind of looked intimidating. But Denver was not fazed.“We’re a network company. We provide top tier service to the premium of the society. Most other companies as well as their advertising cooperatives rely on us to effectively promote their br

Kyle was at a crossroad. Seeing as Ariadne had succeeded in eliciting a satisfactory smile from her, she could not give her a hard time at the moment.She figured that if she were to make a fuss right now, it would contradict her initial smile of satisfaction towards Ariadne’s gift and the guests might catch a hint of what is happening.If this were to happen, wouldn’t the guests regard her as a petty woman? Hence, she could only continue to pretend to be satisfied and walk away wearing a plastic smile on her face.When Molly saw how Ariadne had effortlessly scaled through what she had presumed to be a crisis, she could feel her fragile heart fall from a great height and she shatter into pieces.Although Molly tried to hide the foul expression on her face, Ariadne noticed it and smiled in her mind.‘Hmph! You must have been thinking that I would make a fool of myself before Denver’s mother? Shocked huh?’On second thought, she thought that she would spend a little more time at the pa
Mr CEO’s Little Heartthrob Chapter 49: The Gift
Ariadne stood rooted to a spot. The elegant lady standing before her was Denver’s mother, Kyle Brent-Wesley, the well known President of BrentWes Group who’s always in the financial news.She remembered Molly’s warning in the past. Molly had reprimanded her to stay away from Denver, telling her not to overrate herself because Denver’s mother would never approve of her. Denver showing up with her at his mother’s birthday was a surprise that could turn out to be very disastrous.‘How would she react to this surprise?’“Come over and say hello to my mom.” Denver couldn’t help but whisper to Ariadne while still wrapping his arm around her waist since she seems to be lost in her thoughts.Ariadne snapped out of her reverie, curled her lips into a sweet smile and inched closer. “Nice to meet you, Miss Brent-Wesley. Happy Birthday.” She greeted, bowing her head slightly as a sign of respect to one’s elder. She heard the elderly woman preferred being called Ms instead of Mrs because she was

Widening her eyes, she screamed, “Ariadne! How dare you embarrass me like this?! Watch what I do to you!”Molly couldn’t control herself. But due to the ravaging eyes around, she could only suppress her anger. “Ariadne. I know what you are, two faced bitch. I will make sure to keep you far away from Denver.” She mumbled to herself.But Ariadne was far gone and couldn’t hear whatever she was saying now. It was just the gathering crowd clustering around to poke nose into the issue that was listening to her now.Hiding her face with her purse, she ran out of the mall with great speed, away from the trailing eyes of the curious onlookers.Few days later, the day for Denver’s mother’s birthday party finally came. Denver made sure that Ariadne had the best dress, purse and all. He also engaged the services of the famous makeup artist and stylist to prepare Ariadne for the event. He wanted her to outshine everyone and make a great impression on his mother.Steve would be off duty today becau
