William turned away from the driver fixed his gaze back on Catherine. Then he angrily stepped out of the car and marched into the office.While Catherine was making her way in, she was thinking about how to leave the office.

Once William stepped in, Jorge - his assistant stepped out and walked by his side holding an ipad and a pen in his hand. As he walked with William to his office, he updated him on his schedule for that day. "Is that all?" William asked when he was done reading. He slid his keys in his door knob and unlocked it.

"How do you know that?" Micheal whispered."Daddy, I know it's sounds very unbelievable, but... I snuck into his office--""Honey! Why would you do that?" Charlotte interrupted."Mommy, that's not important," Catherine turned to her father, "we had a meeting with Mr. Dunlop Knowles... I'm not sure you know him but you must have heard of him... He's a very close business partner to the Bentleys. They never talked about taking the company till I left to the bathroom, and I'm my way back, I overheard the conversation, I wasn't sure why they would want that neither did I want to jump into conclusions and that was why I had to sneak into his office to find anything that could prove my thoughts right." She then turned her gaze to her mother."Mommy, yes, you taught me better but I had no other choice." Catherine turned to her father and took his hand and spoke softly to him, "Daddy, please, I don't want you to consider that deal with William. You and mother might think I'm crazy but just be

"Don't worry, I'm fine." William responded as he rubbed his hand gently against his forehead. William was mostly worried about the situation that just played out, he hoped that the paparazzi people were unable to get a clear photo of him and Vanessa's faces even though it was still night time and dark there."Babe are you sure?" Vanessa asked as she rubbed his arm gently.William pulled away from her, making it obvious that he was no longer in the mood to be all lovey-dovey and something else was bothering him."Babe --""Vanessa, I'll take you home straight from here alright?" William interrupted."Okay." Vanessa responded, resting on his shoulders.It was almost midnight and William had just returned home. He stormed into the living room where he barged in on Catherine, chewing on some popcorn and watching a movie this meant his parents were already fast asleep. From the look on her face, it was obvious that she startled at his strong push at the door.They both shared awkward eye c

"Babe, why are you acting so strange?" Vanessa asked over the phone."Vanessa, I'm a bit busy now and I have a lot to take care of." William responded in a firm tone."I'm hanging up till you tell me what's going on, is it because of the images? Do not tell me that is the reason you're upset.""Vanessa, you don't understand do you?" William asked, slightly raising his voice since he was unable to hide the annoyance in his tone."Wait, so this is how it really is right? So you're ashamed of me William? I literally thought you decided to take me out because you love me and my happiness mattered a lot to you!""Vanessa,... Look, you don't understand how bad this affects my name and my family's reputation. I'm married Vanessa, I shouldn't be seen outside with someone who isn't my wife. You know how this thing goes.""No! No I do not, at the end of the day, we're talking about same old Catherine, I can't believe you William, so this is why you've been trying to reach all the social media b

He met his mother, his father and Catherine already seated in the living room, they looked like they had been waiting on him to meet them down there already.The air was filled with an awkward silence. William took his seat, and Bradley cleared his throat, "William," he started, "According to Jorge and the rest of our sources, your illicit images and posts related to it have been brought down from all the social media pla--""Father, they weren't illicit images!" William interrupted."Yes. Exactly, they're eyesore-ic, William!" Bradley snapped.William's sighed and turned his gaze away from his father, "I just hope you have learned your lesson, and such silly mistake won't take place again. Simply because the posts have been take down, it doesn't mean people aren't still talking about it, some of them still have it saved on their phones, and always remember the Internet never forgets." Bradley pointed out, while darting

"You've grown even more prettier over the years, ma'am." Pete gushed over Vanessa with sparks in his eyes."Yeah I know, but that's not why I called you here." Vanessa shunned him and slid into her seat. "I have limited time, so let's get over with this... I have better things to do." Vanessa mumbled."So tell me what exactly you want me to do this time around." Pete said, rubbing his two hands against each other in excitement. "I just want to remind you once more that I called you here because I trust you. You've done many mini jobs and ran miniature errands for me in the past, but this time around, I need to be sure that I can actually trust you for bigger jobs.""Woah!

William turned to her with a grin on his face, "You're awake." Vanessa smiled and nodded softly."I hope you're okay?" William's asked."Yeah, I'm fine... I just miss moments like this, it's been what? A year?" William chuckled softly, "Babe, don't be silly, it's been 2 weeks tops. Don't think about it okay? I'm here with you now."Vanessa laid her head one William's chest and crossed her hand over his body as he planted kisses on her forehead. She could feel the sound of his heartbeat and the up and down movement of his chest as he inhaled and expired. She shut her eyes and let herself sink into the beauty of the serenity in the

Vanessa stepped into her bedroom and threw her purse angrily to the other corner. On her phone, she dialed Pete's number and updated him on the next step to take. Now that she knew when they planned to leave the city, it gave her the opportunity to plan herself properly."Hello ma'am." Pete responded from the other end of the call."Yeah, Pete, get your truck ready, I'll need you to get the job done by Friday or Saturday latest.""Yes ma'am.

She and William both sat in this same car I'm this same exact position, except he probably dreaded her in his heart. The drive back how was as silent as a graveyard, the memory played back in her head like it was yesterday. She turned to William studying his facial features once more. She realized that it's been just a less than 3 months ago they met but a whole lot of things had changed about both of them.She considered that if anyone ever told her that she would be able to put up with William while William would begin to develop sparks for her later on, she would have believed it.

He started at him, bemused and wondering why he was smiling, "So you actually care." He said softly.Catherine immediately released herself off him as she folded her arms on her chest and casted a glare at him. "William, just because I'm asking doesn't mean I care."" So how come you're asking since you don't care?" William asked wearing a sneaky smile.Catherine cut her gaze off him and began to stammer. "I... I needed you to ... To help me get something on your way back. So where were you?"" I told you before Catherine, I had a business meeting to attend to."

The moment he realized it was Sophia, he let go immediately and pushed himself away from her angrily, he got out of the bed and realized he was half naked. He hurriedly searched for his phone and when he found it, it was almost 9 am the next day."Shit! Shit! Shit!" He cursed under his breath as he hurriedly picked his clothes up and put them on."William?" Vanessa called out in a husky voice while stretching out. She sat on the bed and leaned against the bed rest clutching tightly on the duvet, "William what are you doing?" She asked as she rubbed sleep away from her eyes."What does it look like I'm doing Vanessa?" William asked angrily as he buckled his belt hurriedly."You

She put on a red v-neck bodycon dress with a thigh high slit by the side, after getting her hair done and putting on some deodorant she headed straight to her mini bar and picked out the best red wine she hand and grabbed to glasses.She carefully poured in some wine in each of the glasses and then added a little about of the substance Zayne gave her earlier in one of the drinks and stirred it gently with desert spoon so the substance would settle properly.She left everything on the kitchen counter while eating grapes, she stared at her phone waiting patiently for William's call.~~~Catherine heard a knock on her door and turned her gaze to it only to find William standing by it, half open.

"Why did you ignore my call?""Vanessa, i'm at work, your calls are distraction me, I have to go now." Vanessa could hear the annoyance in his voice through her speakers as he spoke." William, I know you're working, but what's taking you so long?"" Taking me so long? Vanessa it's 10 am in the morning, I just got here."" William, did you forget you are supposed to come over today, we had this conversation yesterday.""Today?! Vanessa, I ... " William turned to see the distance between him and Catherine and even wondered if she could hear him, Catherine on the other hand was busy typing away on her computer while peeping into a file. William moved away a bit to be sure Catherine couldn't hear him or see his gestures. "Are you still there William?" Vanessa asked through the speaker.William exhaled sharply as he brushed his hand over his face, "Vanessa can you reschedule?" He asked calmly." No! No William, we cannot reschedule! You're leaving for your honeymoon very soon, and there'
Mr CEO's stubborn bride    Chapter Thirty nine: Back to work
~Next day~William made his way upstairs to the bedroom and mistakenly barged into Catherine who was too busy admiring her reflection in the mirror to notice his presence. She stylishly struck poses while preparing for work, in a maroon coloured pantsuit, her luscious hair, waving on her back, she paired everything with a cute black birkin and black Louis Vuitton shoes she got as a wedding gift from her mother. She turned around to take her leave when she saw William leaning by the door frame with his hands folded at his chest and wearing a narrow grin on his face.She staggered at the sight of him, and wondered what he was starring at, looking so lost, "What are you doing?" She questioned, her heart racing with shock, she picked her phone from the bed and approached the door when William's hand stopped her."I was just too busy admiring you, I got lost in your beauty."Catherine cocked her brows and darted her eyes around the room before taking a full stare at him, " Out of my way Wi

" It's not what you think ..." William tried to explain." Isn't she your girlfriend? " Catherine asked casually as she dumped her plate in the sink."She ... Catherine, I don't know why she came here, I had no idea." William's didn't want Catherine to start thinking his blooming feelings for her was a joke, he tried to explained everything to Catherine and justify his actions but it seemed like Catherine wasn't really interested especially since they had opposite feelings for each other."William, don't sweat it honestly, she's your girlfriend plus I didn't ask any questions." Catherine said quietly, leaving William behind. She made her way up the stairs to their bedroom to start making preparations for their their little vacation. William followed her upstairs. He wasn't comfortable with the energy she was letting off.William was willing to treat Catherine like a fragile rare gem. His sharp imposing demeanor, somehow melted away each time he was with Catherine. William was failing

The annoyed look on Catherine's face disappeared into one that was trying to decipher William's words. When she realized that he noticed she was considering his words, she shook her head vigorously, sighed and made her way to the wardrobe.William successfully didn't get a response from her which was a real bummer for him but he was willing to give her all the time and space she needed to ponder over his proposal. Just like they've been sharing a bed and similar to the way they slept on their wedding night, they both created a bridge at the Middle of they bed as they laid facing opposites sides and sharing one duvet.The next morning, after Mr and Mrs Bentley had left the house to go attend to their daily activities as retirees, Catherine and William were left alone in the house.After their little misunderstanding the previous night, the energy between these two was awkward and uncomfortable.

"I hope you enjoyed dinner?" William asked calmly.Catherine paced around back and forth, taking deep breathes in order to calm herself down, she groaned in annoyance, " you know that has nothing to do with what I'm talking about."" Catherine, I know ... I should have told you--"" Then why didn't you?! Oh my! William's I thought you never wanted this? We signed a goddamn contract, you're not following what the contract says." Catherine rushed to the wardrobe and ransacked one of their drawers and brought out a copy of their fake marriage contract and showed it to William, "Did you forget? Did you forget the way you looked at me and talked to me? Have you forgotten the wayyou addressed me in public? I didn't want to bring this up but what's with this fishy behavior lately? It doesn't suit you William!"
