The CEO'S Forbidden Secret CH 57
LAURA'S POVThroughout our ride to the airport, my heart squeezed in hurt as I looked out of the windows.'She thinks I'm jealous of her and her daughter? Why would I even...' I mumbled under my breath, as I rubbed my forehead and bit my lower lip in annoyance.When we got down to board the flight, that's when I realized we were going to the city I had just left. Why didn't Trenton mention this?"Rich city?" I inquired, and he sighed softly."We are actually going after Mr. Viktor, a young politician who happens to be one of the members of the group we are up against," he began."Oscar believes Viktor is a very smart man and must hold a top rank in the gang, one of the reasons why Blake would keep him close to his dirty secrets," he explained, and I suddenly became more interested.After all, this was the first time we were having a conversation where we weren’t biting each other's heads off.'If we are not mistaken, we feel the headquarters in Rich City is the biggest they have.

BRYAN'S POVMy mind has been wandering ever since we arrived, especially when Jacob informed me about our fake marriage. How do I pretend to love a woman that messed up my life, our life?Jacob's younger sister, Berna, decided to see me off to our so-called room. When she left, she was the first to go in. I walked in, and she closed the door.She was acting very awkward the entire time, like right now, she just stopped walking. I walked past her and sat on the bed.I started going through my stuff. When I looked up and noticed her standing, I frowned."Go freshen up," I instructed without glancing in her direction."You go first," she responded immediately, and I rubbed my face. What gives her the impression that she can even tell me what to do? But you told her what to do first, my mind mocked."Look, we don't have time to start this cat and mouse fight, Laura," I snapped angrily, and she looked away as she pulled her stuff to the wardrobe.That's what I hate about her. She's the typ

LAURA'S POVHow could he be so mean to me? I felt it, the coldness in his voice as he snapped at me.Did I really damage him this much? I didn't want anything, just a shirt.Walking into the bathroom, and after I was done, I wore one of the simple dresses Jacob had bought."Nuella, darling, we have been waiting for you to join us, sweetheart," Jacob's mom exclaimed excitedly."Is that Mr. Elroy's wife? She's so beautiful. I'm Lora, Jacob's fiancée," the beautiful lady introduced herself and hugged me in excitement."Hi," I muttered, suddenly not liking the attention I was getting from everyone."You're scaring the innocent girl, Lora," Elise pointed out, and Lora blushed in embarrassment."No, it's okay," I replied, and she squealed."See, Nuella doesn't mind. You guys look so cute together," she chimed excitedly.Surprisingly, the family said grace, after which everyone decided to dig into their food. Everything was surprisingly delicious.I was worried about Bryan, wondering if he c

LAURA'S POV"Ahhhn," my head hurts so bad. I rolled on the bed and landed butt first on the floor."Shit," I cursed under my breath as I rubbed my arms.I stood up from the bed, and my eyes widened as I stared at it, then at my dress. How did I get to the bed? I wondered, staring at the bed in confusion.I rubbed my head as my mind went back to last night, remembering how I felt him carry me in his strong arms.This is so embarrassing. How am I going to face him now? First, I raised that skimpy nightwear in front of him, and now I let him carry me.You were asleep. It's not your fault, my mind reminded, and I sighed in relief.I quickly freshened up and changed into a pair of jeans and a formal shirt, paired with shoes."Good morning," I greeted, and he glanced at me, then back at his phone."Good morning. Everyone has gathered for breakfast already; we should go down," he replied, and I nodded.I was already in front of the door when he called my name. "Laura..." I stopped and turned

LAURA'S POVWhy is he staring at me like that? I wondered. Was it just my thoughts, or has Bryan been staring at me ever since he entered this house?I hope he hasn't found another reason to start a fight with me. I've done nothing wrong. I pulled my dress down a bit but stopped myself immediately. What's the use of pulling my dress down?It's not like I'm dressed in an indecent manner, I thought with a frown on my face. As I tried to leave the room, he cleared his throat, which made me halt my steps immediately."Come over here," his voice called out to me. Ever since I hurt him, he's distanced himself, even his emotions."Huh?" I replied immediately as I got to where he was seated."How was your first day? What did you encounter at the mansion?" He inquired professionally."Nothing much everything was pretty normal. Even the head maid was pretty nice. According to her, the boss doesn't come over that much, but he comes by whenever he wants to," I explained, and he pinched the bridge

BRYAN'S POV"How was work?" Jacob inquired as he blew out the smoke from his cigarette in his room."I met Viktor, and trust me, the guy knows I can be used to his advantage. He mentioned something about me gaining his trust," I responded, and he smirked."Good one. I feel we are playing our cards right, but even at that, we need to make sure he trusts you soon. That's the easiest way we can get the information we need," he remarked and drank from his glass of wine."Is it really necessary for her to work at his mansion?" I questioned, and Jacob turned in my direction."Is there something you're not telling me? I see the way you look at her, Bryan. I thought you had a fiancée," Jacob teased."It's complicated. Laura and I used to have something in the past, and... she broke up with me," I confessed, trying to control my emotions."That's sad," Jacob muttered as he poured wine into his glass."She doesn't feel the same way for me, I guess. It's my fault that, after all these years, my

LAURA'S POV"Rest," his words echoed in my ears as I glared at the door where he had just exited.How could he be so arrogant?And his shirt... I frowned as I raised it, staring at it and then back at the door he had just left through.My mind wandered to the way he peeled the shirt from his body... his biceps and abs."Fuck," I cursed under my breath, rubbing my face in frustration. I managed to take a shower, and when I walked out of the bathroom in my robe, he was sitting on the bed, drinking coffee."You haven’t left for work?" I inquired, folding my arms."I'm making sure you arrive safely before I leave," he responded, and I scoffed immediately."That's not necessary, Mr. Finch. We are only business partners, and I can take care of myself," I remarked, and he smirked."I can see that," he commented mockingly, and I knew he was referring to the bathroom incident. I ignored him as I strolled toward the wardrobe and picked out my outfit for the day."I made you breakfast," he infor

LAURA'S POV"I had fun... thanks a lot, ma'am," I remarked with a smile on my face as we strolled into the house with the things we bought from the market."Welcome, Mom. Hey, Nuella, Elroy arrived a little while ago and he inquired about your whereabouts," she mentioned, and I acknowledged with a slight tilt of my head."Oh, okay. I'll just check what he wants," I replied and walked toward the direction of our room.It was already dark when I walked into the room. My jaw nearly dropped in surprise when my eyes met Bryan's. He looked way too calm for my liking. And there was this dark aura of arrogance and sexiness surrounding him."We need to talk," he muttered, and I stared at him.What did he want us to talk about? After he nearly ruined my game with Viktor this afternoon."About what?" I inquired and tried walking past him, but he held my wrist and pulled me into his arms."What are you...?" I trailed off in shock as he gently ran his fingers through my hair. My heart pounded agai
