THE CEO'S NOT-SO-OBEDIENT WIFE THE BRIDESMAID OUTFIT PROBLEM
CHAPTER 30"Oh my goodness, Emma, you look absolutely breathtaking!" Laila exclaimed, her eyes shimmering with tears. "Alexander won't know what hit him when he sees you in this."Natalie jumped up and down, clapping her hands. "I told you, Emma! This is the one. This is just perfect. You have to get it!"I smiled brightly at her words and stared back at myself in the mirror. As the excitement began to fade, a pang of sadness crept into my heart. I looked at myself in the mirror, the gown clinging to my body in just the right places, a wave of emptiness washed over me as I thought of the reality. No matter how perfect the dress was or how beautiful the wedding would be, it couldn't fill the void within me.A tear welled up in my eye as I turned to Natalie and Laila, my voice filled with a mix of disappointment and resignation. "You guys are right. The dress is stunning, but it's just a dress. It can't replace what's truly missing."Natalie's expression sof

CHAPTER 31Natalie nodded. "It's a bit too revealing. Just a bit tho."Choosing the perfect bridesmaid dress was proving to be a lot harder than I had anticipated. But despite the disagreements and the endless changing rooms, I couldn't help but smile. I was with my best friends, preparing for the most important day of my life. And despite the dress disagreements, I wouldn't have it any other way.With our spirits dampened by the dress debacle, we decided to take a break and grab some lunch. We found a charming little cafe nearby and settled down at a corner table. The aroma of freshly baked bread and brewing coffee filled the air, instantly lifting our moods.I was so hungry, my appetite seemingly insatiable. I ordered a Caesar salad, a mushroom and cheese panini, and a side of sweet potato fries. As the waiter took our orders, Natalie and Laila exchanged a glance and broke into giggles."Planning on eating for two already, are you, Emma?" Laila teased,

CHAPTER 32Natalie, my maid of honor, leaned in closer, her eyes wide with admiration. "Emma, you look absolutely stunning! Alexander is going to be floored when he sees you."I smiled, my heart swelling with joy. "Thank you, Nat. You and Laila look breathtaking too. I'm so lucky to have you both by my side on this special day."Laila, beamed at me, adjusting the delicate flowers in her hair. "Emma, you're the one who's lucky. Alexander is such a wonderful man, and you two are perfect for each other. He is also lucky to have you and soon you both would be married and complete each other as a family."I blushed, feeling the warmth of their love and support. "I truly believe that, Laila. Today is the beginning of our forever. And I can only hope that our forever is just perfect with less hurdles in our path."As the makeup artist put the finishing touches on my look, she handed me a mirror. I held it up, my breath catching in my throat. The reflection stari
THE CEO'S NOT-SO-OBEDIENT WIFE SHATTERED ILLUSION
CHAPTER 33As I reached out to hold Alexander's hand, a sense of confusion washed over me as he pulled away, his gaze suddenly cold and distant. My heart sank, and doubts began to creep into my mind. What had happened? Why was he acting this way?But I couldn't allow those doubts to consume me, not on this day that was supposed to be filled with love and joy. I pushed them aside, determined to focus on the vows we were about to exchange.I looked towards a woman in the crowd, her presence giving off an air of authority. Could she be Alexander's mother? I had never met Alexander's mother before neither had I seen her in pictures either, but something about her icy demeanor sent shivers down my spine. Her cold smirk made my heart skip a beat, but I quickly dismissed it as nerves.With a deep breath, I turned my attention back to Alexander, staring into his eyes with love and hope. It was as if I was pleading with him, silently asking him to let me in, to share
THE CEO'S NOT-SO-OBEDIENT WIFE THE GUESTROOM
CHAPTER 34The reality of our situation weighed heavily upon me, and the hope that had flickered within my heart extinguished.But deep down, a small ember of hope refused to die. Perhaps, just perhaps, love could find its way into Alexander's heart. Maybe, with time and patience, our fragmented promise could be mended, and the icy walls around him would thaw. The car rolled to a stop in front of Alexander's grand mansion, a symbol of his wealth and power. As I stepped out, my heart heavy with the weight of his words, he marched forward without sparing me a glance. I followed, my steps faltering, as if I were an unwelcome intruder in my own life. Once inside, a woman approached me with a warm smile. "Hello, I'm Maria, Mr. Alexander's maid. Welcome to your new home Miss Emma." Her kindness provided a fleeting moment of solace amidst the storm brewing within me. "Thank you, Maria," I managed to utter, my voice betraying the sadness that clung to me like a

CHAPTER 35Her eyes held a mixture of sympathy and concern as she approached me. "Miss Emma, are you alright?" she asked, her voice laced with genuine care.I forced a weak smile, attempting to hide the pain that threatened to consume me. "I'll be fine, Maria," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. "Just give me a moment alone."Understanding my need for solitude, Maria nodded and quietly left the room, closing the door behind her. Left alone with my shattered dreams, I took a deep breath, exhaling the weight of disappointment that clung to me.As I stared at my reflection in the mirror, tears glistened in my eyes once more. But amidst the pain and confusion, a flicker of determination was still ignited within me. I refused to let this be the end of my love story. I would confront Alexander, seek the truth behind his sudden change, and fight for the love we once shared.For now, in this lonely guest room, I would gather the shattered fragments of my
THE CEO'S NOT-SO-OBEDIENT WIFE NEVER MEANT TO BE
CHAPTER 36The love I had imagined, the connection I had longed for, seemed to have vanished in a few hours. The reality was far from the dream I had held onto so tightly.With a heavy heart, I mustered the strength to respond, my voice barely above a whisper. "I... I thought... I thought we could talk, Alexander," I managed to say, my voice betraying both vulnerability and determination.He let out a sigh, his gaze shifting away from me. "There's nothing to talk about," he replied curtly, his words cutting through the air like a knife. "We both know what this marriage is, Emma. Let's not pretend otherwise."His dismissal stung, and I felt a lump form in my throat. The realization that he no longer desired me, that our union had become a mere facade, tore at my heart. But even in the face of his coldness, I refused to let go of the hope that flickered within me.Summoning every ounce of courage, I met his gaze, my eyes filled with a mix of determination
THE CEO'S NOT-SO-OBEDIENT WIFE NO INTIMACY
CHAPTER 37With a resigned sigh, I finally relented. I opened myself up to the possibility of sharing this simple meal with him. My eyes met his, and for a fleeting moment, I caught a glimpse of the vulnerability that lay hidden beneath his hardened exterior.Silently, he began feeding me, bite by bite, his movements gentle yet mechanical. The tension between us hung heavy in the air, but as the minutes passed, a subtle shift occurred. With each morsel that passed my lips, a fragile connection began to mend.Memories of our shared past flickered through my mind: the stolen glances, the laughter, and the tenderness we once shared. It was as if those tender moments were locked away, waiting for the right key to unlock them once more.As the last bite was consumed, I felt a flicker of gratitude towards Alexander for his unexpected act of kindness. Despite the coldness that still enveloped him, he had extended a small gesture of care, a glimmer of acknowledgment

CHAPTER 130Emma's POV Just like the wind, the days cane and flew by. Before I knew it, it was Asher's birthday. I've been trying my best to convince Alexander and Olivia to at least reach out to their mother but neither of them were willing to give me a listening ear. Turned out fyn Mrs Collins was actually so wrong about both of them. At first Olivia would walk away from me at the mention of her mother but then after I had told her the story Mrs Collins had told me, I noticed that she had warmed up a bit.I could easily tell that for Olivia, all it took was a face to face apology from her mother and all will be okay. She is most definitely going to forgive. But Alexander.....He was a case study, I once had to bind him for him to be able to hear me out. I spoke about all the things Mrs Collins had told me and even explained just how much I feel for her as a mother that I am too. But Alexander always had a reply that undermines mine.There was no

CHAPTER 129Emma's POV " Olivia was already in a coma. For three long years, she lay there, and I couldn't bring myself to come home. I felt so ashamed and guilty. I thought I had ruined my daughter's life. I did get the alimony and thought to redeem myself in both their eyes by the fact that Olivia at least got something off from the marriage."Tears welled up in my eyes as I listened to Mrs Collins' heartbreaking confession. The weight of her guilt was palpable. She had made grave mistakes, but deep down, I could sense her love for Olivia.Mrs Collins looked at me, her eyes filled with regret. "Emma, during those years, I couldn't face Olivia, but I couldn't bear being away from both my children any longer. That's why I returned for Alexander. I wanted him to get married to a girl of my choice, someone I had thoroughly investigated and thought would be good for him. I knew it would be hard convincing him after all that happened with Olivia but I had

CHAPTER 128Emma's POV Mrs Collins nodded, her gaze filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Emma. Your words give me hope. I've made many mistakes, in my life but the greatest of all was neglecting them. Making them live their lives like my little puppets. I want them to know how much I love them."She sat back on the bench and let out a huge depressed sigh. I wondered how many mistakes she had made to make Alexander and Olivia be so mad at her.As we sat quietly on the bench Mrs Collins and I, a question burned within me. I mustered up the courage to ask, "Mrs Collins, may I ask why you were this way with your children. I do not want to seem intrusive but, we're your parents the same way with you?"Mrs Collins sighed, a mix of sorrow and regret on her face. She turned to me and said, "Emma, I wish to tell you a story. Do you wanna hear it?" She asked and I nodded gently." We weren't always so wealthy, you see, my parents weren't that poor, we were comfortab

CHAPTER 127Emma's POV A years later....A full year had flown by, and our little Asher had grown into a lively and mischievous toddler. On this particular day, Maria, Olivia, and I found ourselves engaged in a playful chase, trying to catch Asher and get him to put on his clothes. But he giggled and ran about, refusing to cooperate."Come on, Asher! It's time to get dressed," I called out, feeling a mix of exhaustion and amusement.But Asher just giggled even louder, darting away from us with his tiny legs carrying him swiftly. I could feel my energy draining, and I was close to giving up when I noticed him heading straight for the entrance of the mansion. Panic surged through me, and I hurried to catch up to him, not wanting him to hurt himself on the stairs of the pavement.Just as I reached the entrance, my heart skipped a beat as I came face to face with a pair of feet in ruby shiny slippers. I followed the gaze up, and shock washed over me like a ti

CHAPTER 126Emma's POV "This is for you, Emma. We thought it would be perfect for those late-night feedings and soothing moments."I sat down in the rocking chair, feeling its smooth wood against my back. "Thank you, Alexander. It's just what I need to cuddle and bond with Asher."He smiled warmly. "And see that shelf over there? It's filled with all the books Olivia and I loved reading when we were kids. We want Asher to grow up surrounded by stories and imagination. Who knows, he could be an artist like the both of us or be a writer like Olivia had always dreamed of being."I walked over to the shelf, tracing my fingers along the spines of the books. "Oh, I can't wait to read to him every night."The room was complete with a changing table, adorned with soft, fluffy towels and neatly organized diapers and baby products. There was also a small dresser for Asher's tiny clothes, each item carefully folded and arranged."Everything is ready for our little p

Remember, miracles do happen, and we're going to fight with everything we have to give Olivia the best chance at recovery."As the doctor turned to leave, he paused and looked back at Alexander and James. "Take care of yourselves too. It's important to stay strong for her. I'll be back to update you as soon as there are any changes."With that, Dr. Johnson disappeared down the corridor, leaving Alexander and James alone with their thoughts and worries. "She'll be fine, am sure of it," Alexander whispered, his voice filled with determination. "She has to be. She's not leaving me this way."James squeezed his hand, his voice filled with hope. "She won't. This is the most cowardly way to die giving Olivia's personality."And so, with heavy hearts and unwavering love, Alexander and James prepared themselves for the long and uncertain hours ahead. Wit

He had never looked or felt so vulnerable in his entire life.Meanwhile Lance was raging in anger as the policies had caught up to him and Alexander followed. He glared at Alexander like he wanted to chop him into pieces at that exact moment."Alexander! You fool! What do you think will happen to your company? Your fucking life work? Do you think just because you turned yourself in means you won't get punished? I will reveal it all! I will!." She yelled non stop but Alexander had his cool emotionless face on the whole time. Slowly he leaned into Lance."Do you really think I had no idea about these consequences? And don't forget, I also know the most darkest of your secrets. Do you remember that Andrew?" He said and pulled away.There was a

Chapter 123Olivia's POV Just as I was lost in my thoughts, the door suddenly swung open, and Alexander walked in, cradling a precious bundle in his arms. It was Asher, Emma and Alexander's baby. I watched as surprise flashed across his face when he noticed me sitting there. He looked overwhelmed, but there was something else in his eyes, something I couldn't quite place."Olivia?" Alexander's voice quivered with astonishment. " You're finally awake? Since when? What are you doing here?""Alexander" I called, standing up and taking a few steps toward him. "I... I wanted to see Emma. I've missed her so much."His gaze shifted from me to Emma, and that's when he saw the tear stains on her face. His eyes widened, and he hurriedly made his way to her side, gently passing Asher into my waiting arms."Emma, my love," Alexander whispered, his voice filled with longing and concern.

We'll keep you for a little longer for observation, but if all goes well, you should be able to go home soon."I frleanedt so relieved to hear that. Home sounded like the best place to be right now, I didn't like the hospital smell or the food here.As the doctor left the room, I turned to James, gratitude shining in my eyes.
