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

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
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 5
Riella's POV.Five seconds.Five whole seconds and I was still standing on the spot, my eyes glued to the man seated on the seat, behind the desk.Harrold Williams.Rich, fine, smooth, and creamy skin, doe-shaped brown eyes, well-structured nose, and sexy as hell lips…a face that screamed art stared at me. His raven dark hair mirrored mine, straightened in a style that made him look so hot and stirred the urge to run my hand through it.What the hell?“G-good morning, sir.” I snapped out of my fantasy just in time for him to raise a brow at me, questioning.“It's already noon.” That was his monotone reply, face pulled into an impassive expression as he watched me.And god damn his voice.Deep. Firm. And Sexy.“I'm sorry, sir.” I exhaled and straightened up properly. “Good afternoon, sir. I'm Riella Monroe, your newly appointed EA.” I introduced myself formally.Leaning back into his swivel chair, he sent me a smile that almost made me drool. When he beckoned at one of the chairs befor
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 6
Riella's POV.I hopped out of the cab, paid the cab man, and started to walk into the house. I was happy and excited for myself. I didn't expect to get the job, I wasn't expecting the news at all. And no, I wasn't underestimating myself.And the pay, my goodness!The pay was triple the amount of my former job. I couldn't believe it, couldn't comprehend it when Damien Martin had told me earlier. Heck, I almost freaked out.But I didn't. Instead, I raised my head and gave them one of my most pleasant smiles. A low ruffled bark had me stopping in my tracks. Hesitantly, I spurned around to meet the sight of the small white Labrador retriever dog that belonged to Lyn.I scooted down slowly, my smile stretching further as I rubbed its back. It wagged its tail, obviously excited to see me. It always stays at home while we go out to work.“Hello, Winter.” I smiled before moving further to rub its chest. That single gesture had it wagging its tail excitedly before it flicked its tongue at the

Riella's POV.“What are you wearing?” Carolyn's voice had my head whisking toward the door where she was standing, poking her head in. Her face was pulled into this dissatisfied frown as she watched me.My eyes did a slow crawl over her.She was donning a black jean bum short matched with a pink bustier which left ample stomach flesh on display. I went ahead to check out her feet which were clad in pink kicks.Her hair was pulled into a ponytail atop her head while her face was done into smokey-eyed makeup that made her look extra good.“Clothes.” That was my simple response to her question as she eyed me slowly.“I know that, doofus!” She hissed as she started to make her way into my room as she owned it. “I'm asking why you have that beach skirt on. We are going to a club and not the beach, Ella.” She complained.I looked down at the three-layered multi-colored beach skirt I had on which I had matched with a yellow top tied at my midriff.“What's wrong with this?” I threw my hands o
