THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 93
Harold's POV.“...We should have about twenty-five percent returning to us by the end of this deal, sir.” The man managed to complete his presentation, his eyes looking everywhere but at my face. I sat there in my chair, looking ahead at my employees while they made a fool of themselves. I didn't think they understood the fact that I wasn't here to joke. And I would not be holding back on my plan to crush whoever decides to step on my toes.His female partner got on her feet. She nervously pulled down at her dress, body trembling like a leaf. I didn't know what unnerved them the most.The fact that I wasn't talking or the fact that my stare could bury them at that moment.“Sir, ” she parted her golden bob, taking a step forward. She snapped her fingers twice like she was so sure that I wasn't here with them. “Sir, please.” She pleaded about nothing in particular while her eyes wandered everywhere in the room. Her gaze settled on the empty chair beside me. The one that was always occ
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 94
Riella's POV.I adjusted the scarf that was tied to my waist with one hand while the other pressed my phone to my ear. I was talking to my mum after succeeding in avoiding her calls for days.“Ella,” she called tiredly, a small sigh accompanying her words. I knew she was probably exhausted from the last few days. More like the discoveries of the last few days but if only she knew how much I was trying to keep myself from thinking about everything, she wouldn't call me.“You don't have to get rid of the baby. I'm psyched to carry your child already.” She sounded exasperated because she had been trying to get me to see her point.“Did Carolyn put you to this?” I asked as I walked out of my room and gently shut the door behind me. I knew all of Carolyn's efforts to stop me from getting rid of the baby. She knew I had the doctor's appointment the following day and now, she asked my mum to try and convince me against it. I was just going to ignore her.“What do you mean by that?” she snapp
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 95
Harold's POVI exhaled as I cracked my knuckles. I had been on this for hours. It was only right for me to take a break but since I was working non-stop, there was no break for me, I guessed.I had a series of meetings earlier that cost me a lot of headaches and talks, especially the one that involved the board. They wouldn't stop going on and on about how I was supposed to run my company. Thankfully, I wasn't in the mood to condone their problems thus, they got the devil in me talking back at them.My phone started to ring, bringing me out of my thoughts. When I picked it up, I realized that my mother was calling. Frowning, I wondered what she wanted again. I had just about enough on my plate already, I wasn't ready to deal with anything else just yet.“Mother,” I started as soon as I picked up the call. If I didn't answer it now, she wouldn't stop calling and there was just no way I was going to switch off my business cell line.“Don't Mother me, Harold.” Her tone was cold but of co
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 96
Riella's POV.I woke up feeling very tired. I didn't know how pregnancy worked but this was pretty serious. It was the day of the appointment at the hospital yet I woke up with a splitting headache that could turn into a migraine at any time. I climbed out of bed and swiped my hair out of my face. My eyes felt heavy and my back hurts a little too. I yawned as I slipped my feet into a pair of flip-flops and walked to the bathroom. I didn't have the energy to stand under a shower and take a bath so, I heated my bath and settled down in it after I brushed my teeth.I think I might have fallen asleep in it for a while but I soon got out and moved to pick out my clothes. After searching for what felt like eons for cloth that wouldn't feel formal and wouldn't be too casual at the same time, I finally settled for blue jeans-clothed pinafore-styled gown. I wore a white top as the inner and paired it up with kicks.I settled down at my vanity table and dried my hair. Once I had it where I wan
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 97
Riella's POV.I pulled away from him and succeeded in putting enough distance between us so I could think clearly while I maneuvered my way through the storm that was clearly brewing. He didn't say anything in a long while, he just leaned against the wall and watched me.He wasn't just watching me. He was staring at me like he was meeting me for the first time. He was staring at me like he needed to memorize everything about me. The gaze was so intense that it had my cheeks heating up. I had to look away from him before I turned crimson.“Stop staring at me like that.” I hissed, suddenly annoyed that he was making all these emotions coursing through me. Where had all my willpower over the last few days gone? It couldn't just abandon me in my time of need!“You don't make it easy. You don't know how hard it will be for me to peel my eyes away from you.” He mumbled softly, quietly like he was in deep thoughts. I still wasn't looking at him so I couldn't tell what was going on in his hea
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 98
Riella's POV. I wanted to pull away from him but he held me close, tightly to himself so that I didn't find a space to move. It wasn't uncomfortable but it wasn't nice either because, with his arms around me, I was more than vulnerable to his touch. I could as well be melting under him. “I can't,” I panicked. I couldn't just backtrack out of my plans. I had to get rid of the baby, move to LA like I originally planned, and start a new life again. “Why? Why can't you?” He asked as his hand brushed my hair. The touch was soothing. I could be in his arms all day and still wouldn't feel like I had enough of him. He made me so insatiable. “Because I have everything planned out. I'm moving to LA to start a new life and I really need to be there for my job interview.” I told him. “I'm not letting you go, Ella. I already did that before and I almost couldn't live. I'm not risking it again.” He whispered into my ear and I felt shivers run down my spine at his words. “I can't raise a baby,
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 99
Riella's POVI hissed as I pushed my hair out of my face. I didn't know what stopped me from wrapping a band around it earlier. I arrived in LA barely twenty-four hours ago after spending almost two days on the road and I was already in love with the city. It looked so peaceful and nice compared to New York's bustling aura. Though I could tell that this was just the calm before the storm.“So, what do you think?” Harold pulled back from me and gestured to the living room. He had spent his time setting up the house with the help of other people. I looked around the large space and fell in love with the green again. The walls were painted green with a touch of lavender. The house smelt of orchids. It had smelled like lavender but since I wasn't interested in smelling that shit yet, I asked for something else. The couches were black but so comfy and the TV set and every other thing in the room was second to none. And they were all mine. I couldn't help the large smile that made its way
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 100
Harold's POV.I pulled up my shades as we walked into the Doctor's office. The middle-aged woman stood up to welcome her, a radiant smile on her pretty face. “Doctor Garnett, ” I smiled as I shook her hands. Ella stood beside me as she blessed the older woman with a smile. I could sense that she was nervous and it only made me smile.“It's nice to meet you, Harold. As I said earlier, you don't have to worry about anyone finding anything. It's against my work ethic anyway.” She smiled.When I booked the appointment two days ago, I had strongly been assured of confidentiality and I was grateful for that. I couldn't stand anyone from the media seeing me. Heck, I couldn't stand anyone recognizing me at the hospital. At least, not until I had everything where I wanted it to be.“Come in, Riella. I understand it's your first time but there is no need for you to be nervous, ” the doctor took her hands and Ella managed a small smile. I watched as she was led to the bed to have her seat.She
