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

Riella's POV.“I'm hungry,” I whined for the umpteenth time that day. I couldn't believe how much I was eating. I couldn't stop no matter how much I tried. Was it a crime that I was pregnant?“You are what?” Harold stopped working on his laptop as he turned toward me, raising a brow at me in amusement. He must have not heard me right.“I'm hungry,” I whined again, gesturing widely and stomping my feet like a little child. There was this amusement in Harold's eyes. I didn't like it and it had me pouting my lips in anger.“It's not funny,” I eyed him with a shirt hiss. He pushed the laptop aside, raising his hands into the air as if to say he is surrendering.“I didn't say anything, ma'am.” He joked. I huffed and pushed my hair out of my face in anger. It has been irritating me of late.“I hate this hair. I'm just going to cut it.” I hissed as I tugged at a mass. “Oh, no. You will do no such thing,” Harold was beside me in seconds. He gently pried my hands off my hair. “You have no ide

Riella's POV.“Are you sure you don't want to come with me?” Carolyn asked as she walked into the living room, clutching her small mini purse. I shook my head for the umpteenth time before glancing down at my phone.I had recently downloaded this book on my phone and it had kept me busy for a while now. Tyler stepped out too, twirling his car keys in his hand. The couple were going ice skating and had offered for me to come with them but I didn't think I could put myself through that stress again. I already felt heavy with all that I had taken.I looked at my snicker bar, picked it up and took a bite. While I savored the flavor, I watched Carolyn whisper something to Tyler. My brows shut up in amazement especially when with the way Tyler smirked. “Everything okay you two?” I winked at Carolyn and she rolled her eyes the same way she cocked out her hips. I admired the blue harbor pants she was donning.“Yeah, I was just talking to Tyler about how he is going to get me pregnant, yunno?
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 103
Riella's POV.There was no way I saw that coming. Absolutely no way I could have predicted any of this. My eyes were widened and my mouth was wide open while I stared at it. I couldn't believe this. I couldn't believe this.Ultimately, my heart started racing in my chest and I was forced to take a step back because it was all too much to take in while he just knelt there watching every emotion that passed through me. “Ella, there is no one I want but you. Please, will you do us a favor and say yes to me darling?” His voice was a mixture of a plea, a desperate plea, and affection but I couldn't even think straight. Before me, my brain was thinking multiple ways about why I couldn't just do this. Why I couldn't just marry him? Why I couldn't say yes to him and it hurt to even think about them. I started to shake my head but he surprised me by inching forward with a speed that stunned me and left me gasping for a few seconds while he gently clamped my hands in his. Seconds ago, I had b

Harold's POV.When I decided to propose to Ella, it wasn't just a spin on me kind of action, I made sure to check with people around her if they felt she was ready for it. Carolyn made me realize that there was no better time. And to me, it felt like the perfect time.I felt everything was going to be okay. I was going to propose to her and she was going to say and I was going to marry her and all of that. I didn't realize that I was shitting myself along. That I had been lying to myself because as I held her in my arms, I wondered if things were ever going to be okay between us.Except that wasn't the final blow because she started to pull back and I let her know I couldn't force her to do anything she didn't want to do. She was an adult already. She could handle whatever was going on. But, there was no way I could handle this. “You know, Ella,” I started as I cleared my throat and watched her. She was sitting so quietly and looking far away from me. It felt almost too painful for m
