THE CEO ALPHA’S MARRIED MATE Chapter 49
noPov: MaddisonI swallowed awkwardly and Mr Winston was glaring at a piece of furniture.Okayyyy... Um..."I... I think...""Don't make this any more awkward than it needs to be, Maddison." He said coldly, his hands, digging into the pockets of his pants, his shoulders relaxed and equally tensed, "let's just find you a pair of shoes."My heart dropped to my stomach.Right.I went to an isle that had caught my eyes previously and began looking at designer shoe collections.I found a pair of Swarovski studded stilleto pumps and nearly squealed in excitement. Perfect. This is perfect.Mr Winston looked from over my shoulders and clicked his tongue. "That's several sizes too short."I frowned at him. "No, it's not.""Try it on for yourself," he shrugged."I will!" I huffed.I tried to kick off the flats I was wearing and put on the pumps...and nearly fell face flat, and nearly planted my face into a potted plant.I steadied myself just as Mr Winston reached out to grab and hold me stead

Play date.Pov: Maddison"Mr Winston! Mr Winstonnnn!" I cried, flying through the hallways.I should have learned my lesson from last time, but I obviously didn't, because I pushed open his door, barging into his room like I owned the place, before I could even stop myself to think twice about it.Luckily, he was fully clothed, in his bed, in a t-shirt and pyjama pants, reading glasses on, reading a book. His legs crossed at his ankles.Awwwn. I wanted to coo at him."Explain why you think it is safe or even deemed the slightest bit acceptable to barge into my room, unexpectedly, like that.""I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry, but here me out!" I cried excitedly, hopping from feet to feet in excitement. He sighed heavily. "Out with it," he said, going back to his book, but I knew that he was paying attention to me."Guess what it is!" I clasped my hands together, my eues shining in glee."If I had even the slightest idea, I wouldn't waste precious time asking what this is all about now, wo

True dateI watched them order, my heart, hanging in my throat, praying to hell that he would shut up about the food.The food was brought to them and I watched him dip his baguette into the bread sauce that was brought for him. He grimaced as the bread flaked to pieces when he broke it and dipped it into the sauce and winced when he placed it in his mouth.The food was horrible."This..." He said, wincing and chewing, "this is incredibly delicious."I face palmed myself.Alice side eyed him and I scrambled around hastily to save the night. "Talk about music. Ask her about music.""Uh... What type of music do you like?" He asked, tapping his fingers impatiently on the table.She jumped at the topic immediately, forgetting all about his bullshit statement about the 'incredibly delicious' horrible food."I really like folk music." She said eagerly, stars in her eyes. "Me too," he was quick to state."Oh, is that so. Who is your favorites folk artist?""Agnus and Julie Stone," he said w

morning afterPov: WinstonI woke up late the next morning, a little confused for a moment.My eyes opened and I felt different.I looked around, carefully.I had woken up in a bed that wasn't mine and in a room I didn't recognize, dressed in clothes that weren't mine and a woman's hand was around me. Her body flushed close to mine, our sleeping bodies entangled into each other.And it all came coming back.Maddie had wanted me to get close to Alice and with the sob stories and half truths I had fed her yesterday, it was easy for her to open up to me and fool her into thinking we were making an emotional connection, when really I had just wanted Maddie to stop screaming in my ear and hovering over me like a haunting surprise.But I would be lying if I said that ALL parts of last night was an act... In fact, I struggled to remember if I was leading her on or if I was leading myself on.I had shared with her certain parts of me that I had only shared with people I cared about, although,

Secret cornersPov: MaddisonI hated feeling like this. I hated feeling like a miserable bitter bitch as I tried to concentrate on the movie I was watching, nestled in Shawn's lap.Shawn was a sweetheart. He had arrived at my suite in the Vanderbilt tower, after hearing how bad I sounded on the phone, even after I promised him that I was okay. I was fine. I was only feeling a little under the weather.Which were all lies by the way.He obviously didn't buy my bullshit... Or maybe he did, because thirty minutes later, he was showing up in front of my suite, holding up 'get well soon' balloons, cards, flowers and the biggest box of chocolates I have ever seen.He felt my temperature and decided I needed sunlight, ice cream and retail therapy.And the next thing I knew, we were inside his car and he was taking me to a park where he bought ice cream for the both of us and we sat under a tree, stretching our feet in the sun.He had looked at me with the tenderest green eyes and asked, "wha

Last day in hellPov: Maddison.Finally, Saturday. It was the last day of this hell trip and I couldn't wait to get done with this Fiasco and move back to new york and gain some sort of normalcy in my life.Heck, I even missed the toxic office and my more toxic colleagues. I grabbed my phone from the vanity, scrolling through my messages. Gwyn and Olivia had texted me everyday this week since I went on this trip.I chewed my lip, hovering over the call button on Gwyn's icon. I pressed call and waited as it dialled her number.She answered on the third ring, "hello oo," her enthusiastic voice greeted me. "Hey, Gwyn, how're you?""I'm good. I'm good," she giggled. "You?""I'm just... Meh," I sighed.She grew somber now. "Hey, what's up? What's going on?"I sighed tiredly, my voice cracking. "I just don't know anymore. I think I'm just home sick at this point.""You don't sound so good," she noted. "Is there any other thing that's the problem?"I considered it. I considered telling he

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

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
