THE CEO ALPHA’S MARRIED MATE CHAPTER 55
Drama partyPov: WinstonIt's honestly amazing how I haven't yet bursted an artery from all the seething I've been doing. I should have blocked a blood vessel and had an aneurysm by now... Cause, seriously, watching those two fawn all over each other was making me more and more antsy by the second.I gulped down another bubbling glass of champagne and worked my jaw.It wasn't enough. I need something stronger to get through the night.Besides the first time she made quite an entrance with Alice, Maddie had not even look my way again throughout the night. And as the party drew on, I started to feel restless.It's not like she was avoiding me or anything, she was honestly not even noticing me, even when she walked close to me, close enough for me to rub my arm against her shoulder, subtly asking for her attention and getting none of it.She seemed to be in her tiny little bubble, except this time, she had invited Shawn in with her.I watched them in seething rage as the floated around t

Post Nut ClarityPov: MaddisonWhat have I done? What have I done? What have I done? WHAT DID I JUST DO?!This was post nut clarity right here. I'm sure!Except... Except I didn't regret this. I didn't regret Mr Winston finger–fucking me in that bathroom.I would be lying to myself if I said that I regretted what just happened with me and Mr Winston in the bathroom but why the hell did Anna have to walk in at THAT exact moment.I could lie to myself and say that she didn't see anything... But I knew... I knew that she would be able to figure shit out and come to a conclusion in her head.And even if she didn't come to any conclusions, that hadn't stopped her from pushing the theory that I was sleeping with Mr Winston... Except now, I have given her ammo to enforce those rumours.Why?! Oh God, why had I been so stupid to let Mr Winston finger me in the bathroom like a common whore... WITH the doors UNLOCKED?!Through the night, I kept monitoring Anna's movement, she was as sly as ever

VacationPov: Maddison"Pack your things. We're leaving," Mr Winston said without preamble when I stopped crying.He didn't have to tell me twice, I had my things parked as he went to book another hotel on his iPad. By the time I had finished, he was ready and waiting for me.We walked soundlessly out of the room and out of the cursed tower and he helped me into the passenger side of his car and carefully placed my bags in the backseat.He went around the car and got into the driver's seat."What about you?" I whispered, shocked at how hoarse my voice was, "what about your bags?""I'll send someone to come for them later."I settled in my seat, hugging myself and bowing my head. I felt like I wouldn't be able to look up at anyone for a very long time. Humiliation and shame had become my middle name.I swallowed. Every time I remembered Alice's livid face, I wanted to shrink back in fear. She was my friend, but she had no problem hitting me and humiliating me during an important occasi

NightmaresPov: MaddisonI roused awake around midnight, unable to sleep and momentarily confused about what I was doing in this strange room, on this strange bed.I stretched, uncurling my body a bit, feeling my muscles stretching and my bones and joints, making cracking sounds as I stretched.I froze when I bumped into someone, my mind, pausing for a moment... And then, it all came coming back.Last evening, the birthday dinner party, our time in the restroom, the humiliation, Mr Winston standing up for me, getting me to pack my things and us coming here because all the other fancier hotels were not available on such short notice.I swallowed, my memories sifting around in my head, my memories of last night, how I had curled into his body, seeking him out, his warmth, his heat, his hands, strumming me, working me, making an ocean pool out of me.And me, loving every single moment of it.I swallowed and twisted on the bed, turning to face him, he was asleep, his face so soft with an

back to lifePov: MaddisonDid you get home safe?I stared at the screen, reading the text that just entered my phone, my thumb hovering over the delete button.We had talked about this and he had seemed to understand. What happened in Seattle stays in Seattle.So why was he texting me right now? It was bad enough that I had cheated on my husband with him during the trip, even though the sex was amazing, I couldn't stand the thought, especially now that I was coming back home to meet him.Trashy, scheming whore.That's what I am. My husband didn't deserve this. We had had a huge fight and we weren't on good terms when I left, but that did not give me the right to jump into my boss's bed at the snap of his fingers. I had literally been begging for it throughout the trip, panting after him like a dirty desperate hoe... As if I wasn't married. As if I didn't have a husband waiting for me at home.I sighed and clicked 'delete'. Purging the pleasure and drama filled trip from my mind. Mr W

Side piecePov: WinstonMaddie was forty five minutes late and counting.I huffed and paced about wildly in the section of my floor that had been reserved as her office. After the whole thing went down with James and she started working officially as my assistant, I had made the whole thing seem like an impromptu decision but I had actually thought long and hard about making her my assistant and having her close to me, especially when I was making business deals, or when she had to let down a few investors easy or when there was a problem with my schedule.Maddie had proven herself excellent at the job. She understood the assignment, during charity and fund raising events, she was quick to fish out the politicians or elites with the fattest pockets, start up a conversation with them, get them to like her and become genuinely with her and she would sway them to me, and this tactic had boosted my popularity among the inner circles of old money and politician families. Her rare ability t

Office gossipPov: MaddisonI was aware of the sneaky glances and snarky gazes as I walked into office the next day.I stopped for a chat at Olivia's desk but she was stiff and awkward with me. A tight lipped smile stretched her lips."Okay, out with it!" I commanded. "What's really going on?""What do you mean?" She blinked, or tried to blink innocently at me."Everyone is acting weird..." I narrowed my eyes at her. "Including you."Olivia sighed tiredly. "Anna got fired. It sparked even more rumours especially since we just went through the first wave with James. A lot of people are talking. Your popularity rate has shot up a bit... But for all the wrong reasons."I waited for the drop in my stomach. The nervous twists in my guts. The heavy lump in my throat. But nothing came. I was numb to the gossip."And Lois is spreading rumours about what really went down in Seattle. She said you were two timing the Van–tech hire AND Mr Winston at the same time. And the Van–tech princess had a

Good news and dealsPov: MaddisonMr Winston had been holed up in his office for hours, dealing with the shrewd investors from Milan who decided they couldn't have a zoom meeting like every other foreign investor.During the more delicate matters of the process, Mr Winston sent me off to do whatever and it's either because he didn't want me witnessing the grueling process of trying to sway loaded investors into your filling your pockets or supporting a project.. OR, he just read into my body language and realized I was sick and tired and bored of just standing there like a very effective ice statue and not trying to talk about the booger in one of the bodyguard's nose. It was honestly RIGHT there staring right at me, as if trying to annoy me further and I was beyond irritated and annoyed at the hunk of muscle for just standing there and looking menacing with a booger in his nose.The investors left after the very successful meeting (I can tell that it was successful because Mr Winsto

It was a blur from then on.They whipped me with whips laced in silver, fed me Aurum and argentum and made me inhale wolfesbane, the grounded petals of a flower that attacked our cardio vascular system. They flogged me with silver studded sticks and kicked me with silver soled shoes and stabbed at me and poked fun at me and laughed at me.Maddie was struggling so hard in her seat, crying and begging in mumbles for them to stop.I was weak. My eyes were closing. I could have died any second...And then, i heard a growl so gutteral, so beast like, from the other side of the room, in the direction where Maddie was.At first, I thought that it was all in my head, because no no no... It cannot be.But the others fell silent and stopped their assault on me.Maddie was growling, deep in her throat, her eyes were flashing yellow with beast like slits as pupils. Fur sprouted out of her skin. She seemed to grow bigger and bigger on the seat and stood on her feet, still tied to the chair, and ke

daysPov: WinstonIt took me a while to rouse to consciousness. Gwyn had been the first one to wake and porge the sleeping pills out of her system, because she had the lightest weight and then, she made a disgustingly smelling potion and held it up at each of our noses, to wake us up too.And so, that was how I woke up to a pungent, egg smelling potion bomb, exploding in my nose.I looked up at the grim faces of my best friends, together with Cerulean and Lapis' worried gazes and wondered what the fuck their problems were.Why were they in my room, looking at me like that? I turned to my side to ask Maddie if she was seeing what I was seeing... And had the shock of my life.Maddie's side of the bed was empty. "Where is she?!" I had growled desperately."We don't know," Gwyn had whispered, "but from the looks of it, she had drugged us and ran away.""What?!" A tremor shook my spine. I was up and out of the bed immediately, tugging on a shirt and pants and grabbing my car keys, a mill

The ghost of a smile stayed on my lips but as I continued the story, my smile dropped and fell from my face. "I stayed with Mr Winston for a while, but one day, I decided to go back home to get the rest of my things and really leave for the last time... Or at least, the last time before I start the divorce process... My husband. He was a raging angry drunk that night. There was a party playing in the apartment and I had already packed my things but he cornered me and... And he..." my voice shook.Olivia looked at me worriedly, her beautiful face twisted into a concerned scowl.I took a deep breath. "He beat me up, Olivia."A shocked gasp escaped her lungs."Yeahhh... Winston kind of... Saved me that night, and took me away to one of his islands while I got healed up. He took care of me, Liv.""Like he should," she beamed at me. She suddenly froze,her eyes going wide. She snapped her fingers. "THAT'S why the two of you have not been at work lately!" She exclaimed, her eyes softening. "

AmbushPov: MaddisonIt was an entire month and half before I hatched my failproof plan. Before I got the motivation at all.I was able to sneak out of the Grand Mansion without Winston noticing that morning.It actually helped that I had taken charge of dinner and I may or may not have drugged everyone's food.I left the conservation at five in the morning, when Winston was still sleeping peacefully beside me, his arms around my waist, pulling me close and tugging him to his torso.I had made the call last night and the recipient was probably eagerly awaiting my return, back in the city... But I needed to do this right, and I didn't want any distracrions.I hadn't slept a wink last night, and we had talked and laughed and even made love and I swallowed a sigh of relief when the drugs began to take effect and his speech started slurring and he was mumbling and falling over his words.My eyes were wide open, i slid his arm away from my waist, slowly, quietly, just incase I had not give

see for yourself Pov: Winston "Drive me back to my mother's home," Maddie said, weak and exhausted as I held her quietly in the car. "But we just got back from there," i said confused. Nonetheless, I extracted myself from her body and strapped myself to the seat. She was quiet as I inputed the address information into the gps all over again and I understood why she would be so rattled. She had just lost her best friend. What I didn't understand was why she had suddenly stopped consoling Olivia, the moment she saw that thing on her phone. I was dying to know what it was. I was dying to let her let me in. But her end of the telepathic bond I shared with her had gone depressingly silent and cold. It took a while. Hours and hours and more frustrating hours on the road, but we finally got to her house. She stepped out of the car and looked at the stately brick house surrounded by a green lawn in front and green fields at the back. The front door had been smashed in, thanks to me,

The SetupPov: MaddisonSomething is wrong.Something is wrong.Something is terribly wrong.That was the sound track playing in my head when I roused from my sleep that night and checked my phone.It was almost eight o'clock.It was almost eight o'clock and I was still asleep.Any moment now, Ethan would knock on the door to inquire about why I wasn't down in the courtyard for the early morning jog.I never sleep this late in the mornings... Because, since the assault from William went down my mother always calls me up at seven in the mornings.But today, I didn't see her phone call."Winston!" I cried alarmed. "Winston, wake up," I begged, already sliding out of bed.He sat up, awake and alert immediately, searching my face frantically. "What happened, Maddie? Did anything happen to you?""Yes. I need you to drive me back to the city. I need to see my mother," I explained hurriedly as I slipped out of my nightdress and shimmied into a pair of jeans and tugged on a tank top.Winston

Heart to HeartPov: MaddisonAfter the study and books aspect was out of the way, I found out that I actually looked forward to Gwyn's lessons the most.I was currently sitting cross-legged, high up on a cliff, eyes closed, facing the setting sun.I felt her presence all around me, her voice was soft and delicate as she explained to me the basics of the technique she had used on Nathan that time."Chakra is a Sanskrit word and it means “disk” or “wheel” and it represents the various energy centers in your body. These wheels or disks of spinning energy each correspond to certain nerve bundles and major organs. To function at their best, your chakras need to stay open, or balanced. If they get blocked, you may experience physical or emotional symptoms related to a particular chakra."There are seven main chakras that run along your spine. They start at the base, of your spine and extend to the crown of your head. But these are only your main chakra points where energy is gathered in the

fighting stancePov: MaddisonEthan was a brutal taskmaster. Cold and calculating and belting out orders, pushing me to my max.I had changed my diet to contain more protein and carb contents as per Nathan's instructions and I had jogged and worked out and pushed my body to the extreme under Ethan's tutelage and Gwyn helped with my meditation and tutored me in basic human anatomy.The first day of my training with Ethan, I was a sweating, sobbing, puking, breathless mess on the floor of the sparring courtyard in the big house that was really the grandest mansion I had ever seen.On the fourth day, I wasn't doing much better, but at least, I had learned to throw a punch without causing much damage to myself, and I wasn't as breathless and winded after each early morning jog."You're punching all wrong," he told me in my first day. "When you hit your target, you want to strike with the first two knuckles, not that flat front part of your fist or the smaller knuckles on your ring or pink

Favourite fixPov: WinstonMy entire body freezed mid strike as I felt another presence join me in my private sparring room."I thought I would find you here," the very familiar voice said aptly.I exhaled the breath I had been holding and completed the punch–kick sequence I had been been doing on the sparring dummy, before I turned to him, grabbing my bottle of water and draining the contents thirstily."Who invited you in?" I asked my best friend now, raising an amused brow.He looked at me, shocked at first, and then he caught on to the fact that I was actually smiling at him, and his lips stretched into a conniving grin that was so Nate... That grin that made him look like you two were in on a private joke or something. Even if he had no idea what you were talking about, his goofy grins made you think he did."Thanks, man," he said now, his voice turning serious as he went to perch on the raised steps to the boxing ring. "I... I was actually going to leave today, immediately afte
