THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 118
Riella's POV.I slowly regain consciousness, feeling groggy and disoriented. My head felt like something heavy had been hit on it and it felt like a spell of dizziness was cast over me. As I assessed my surroundings, I quickly realized that I was tied up and in a dark room. The pungent odor of cigarette smoke filled my nostrils, making it difficult to breathe. Fear began to set in as I realized that I had no idea how I got here or who could have done this to me.My chest heaved as flashes of what felt like the past few hours flashed through my mind's eye. The last thing I remembered was excusing myself to the restroom. My eyes widened and I coughed loudly when I finally registered everything.Oh my God, Harold!My heart ached and I found myself feeling my tied-up hands to check for my wedding bands. It was still there. Somehow, with my health at that moment, it was hard deciphering if anything was real anymore.God, if this was what I thought was happening, what was Harold going to do

Harold's POV.My eyes widened and I went pale as soon as the line went dead in my hands. She was screaming. The bloody bastard had hit her. He was making her cry. He was hurting her. I tried to dial the cell again but it ended right on the spot.“I'm going to kill that bastard with my bare hands, ” George fumed as he paced about the room. I swallowed and shoved my phone into my pocket, swallowing up my emotions. Now was not the time for me to dwell or fume. I had to contain my emotions properly to keep a straight head. I still had time to kill the bastard.Turning around, my gaze landed on my parents. They were talking in hushed tones, looking all worried but I knew it was not because of Ella. It was a whole lot more of things that I wasn't even ready to listen to. My eyes darted away from them over to the siblings trying to talk their Mum from coming after me or whatever she intended to do with how much she was watching me.I sighed and started to walk over to her when Noel's voice

Riella's POV.Harold managed to get me to the hospital. He didn't even let me go home, he just asked that Damien drive us to the hospital, and as for Carolyn, she stayed glued to me while still sobbing about how this was her fault.Harold came through when I least expected it. It was the moment when I'd given up hope that I was never going to see him again. When I was very sure that I would never see any of them again, they came through. And I was very grateful. “How did you guys find me?” I asked as I leaned on Harold while he wrapped his hands around me.Carolyn smiled and leaned forward. Her hand gently reached out and stroked the necklace still hanging around my neck while watching me.“I put a jewelry detector.” She replied smugly and my eyes widened.“Wow,” I was honestly shocked, I didn't expect it.“I had a feeling that something could go wrong after you told me that day. I just wanted to ensure that you were going to be safe if anything were to go wrong.” She explained and
THE CEO'S MISTAKE EPILOGUE
FIVE YEARS LATER.I hummed with a smile as I fixed my earrings to my ear properly. They were dropping and very long but they were also very expensive. A Christmas gift courtesy of my husband. I grabbed the cherry lip gloss on the vanity table and applied it to my lips. I smacked my lips together, pursed it, and posed in front of the mirror. I looked good. The red velvet dress I was wearing with the plunging V- neckline and long sleeves that were adorned with lace trimmings were so beautiful. I had my hair packed into a messy bun, leaving the fringes out while a pretty gold necklace lay on my neck.I did a spin and blew a kiss at my reflection. While I packed up my make-up items, the door to the room opened and my husband strolled in. He walked over and wrapped his hands around my waist. I leaned back and let him kiss my lips.“You look breathtaking,” he breathed and I beamed. Even after all these years, compliments had a way of soaking me in.I turned around and placed my hands on e
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 1
Riella's POVI was nervous.I could feel the sweat pouring out from my open pores and sticking to the clothes I had on. It was starting to get very itchy and comfortable and I was desperately trying not to tug at the sleeves of my dress. The fringe of my raven dark hair wouldn't stop sticking to my forehead due to the sweat.I was a mess.Letting out a dissatisfied groan at the turn of events, I pushed myself off my well-made bed and walked toward my full-length mirror which occupied the downright corner of my room. I was clad in a black long-sleeved dress that stopped a few inches before my knee. The dress hugged and accentuated my sides and curve in such a way that made me look…sultry. The sleeves of the dress poured down around my wrist in an onion bulb style.My makeup was already smeared due to the sweat and the way my nerves and spines were shooting up now and then was already starting to irritate the hell out of me.Cocking my full hips to the side, I took my time to look thro

Harrold's POV.“But I already told you, mum, Brittany is away on a long-term modeling project. I honestly would hate to disturb her and I really don't have the luxury to leave the company unattended at the moment. ” I said for the umpteenth time over the phone.“Does it matter? You don't have to go to the office every day before you have things coordinated.” Her firm, authoritative yet overly caring voice came up on the air.She was all three at once.Firm. Authoritative. And Caring.How my mother, Raegan Lilly Alexander, the wife of Paul Daniel Alexander, the owner of Exquisite Empire, managed to topple all three emotions into her voice at once never ceases to amaze me.She had always been like that for as long as I could remember. She was like a storm, a strong wavy storm to the general public and the world in general but to the insiders and the people of her inner circle, she was all three of everything she wanted to be.One minute, she was so caring and doting and the very next, s
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 3
Harrold's POV.There was something about New York City that just always managed to excite me. It could be the buzz, the thriving, the excitement, the shops, the weather, or the people moving about.It could be just about anything that fascinated me really.I had always lived in Miami, Florida far from New York but when I decided that It was time for me to build my empire and rule the world, I had Damien sit down with me while we looked through cities.Somehow, New York had just fascinated me and I found myself choosing it.Now, here we were.“Do you have any special qualifications that you would need your PA to possess?” I had almost forgotten that Damien was with me in the car. Majorly because he was always quiet. But today, he was even quieter and didn't even say a word when I talked about the buzzing city like I always do.“You say?” I asked him even though I had heard him.“I'm very sure you heard me the first time, man. But just in case you are starting to develop ear problems, I
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 4
Riella's POV.Fuck Carolyn.That was one thing I kept thinking of while I had my interview with a group of people. You know how I said that my body didn't appreciate eating so very early in the morning?It was because of certain reasons.The stupid good-luck coffee Carolyn had forced me to take early that morning was starting to affect me. My stomach was churning deeply and now and then, new sweats broke out on my skin leaving me uncomfortable.Tears were starting to pool in my eyes at how uncomfortable I had gotten with the clothes I had on. Asides from that, I was experiencing this deep irritable bowel syndrome and I just want to get the fuck out of the room but I couldn't afford to mess up my interview.“You said you have never done this before?” A man who had introduced himself as Damien Martin had been the only one throwing questions at me ever since I walked into the room. The others just jotted down.“Yes, this is my first time,” I replied, managing to keep my head straight so
