The CEO'S Forbidden Secret CH26
BRYAN'S POVAfter our argument, I stormed out of the room, needing some fresh air before I completely lost my mind. Laura didn't even care about what I said or how I felt about her decision to leave me hanging.As I smoked my cigarette, a phone call from one of my men snapped me out of my thoughts about Laura. "Boss, we have a problem," he uttered, and I listened with rapt attention.The business was dirty, and it felt like everything was getting more complicated each minute.When I returned to the room, Laura was already asleep. It wasn’t long before I noticed her having a nightmare again."Please... please don’t do this... no, no, no," she whimpered, her voice muffled as she cried in her sleep."Babe... Laura, Laura! Wake up!" I shook her gently, and she jolted awake, screaming."It’s nothing, it was just a dream. Breathe in and out..." I whispered, trying to soothe her. She looked away, her body tense."I’m sorry... I’m so sorry," she repeated over and over, tears streaming down he

LAURA'S POVI knew Bryan was up to something because he didn’t talk to me throughout our ride to his estate.He’s a nice person, but the problem is, I’m always on edge when I’m around him for reasons best known to me.Bryan is a walking temptation, but he hasn’t gotten over his late fiancée, and if I give in to his sweetness, he’ll use me and eventually dump me.He’s been stubborn about moving on from his ex. It’s obvious because he has her pictures everywhere and wears their promise ring wherever he goes. So why should I compete with that?I want the man I open up to, to love me for who I am not just for my body. I know it sounds selfish, but I want him to cherish me.I have a crush on him. I know I want him just as much as he wants me, but I also know I have no place in his heart, and I’m not going to force my way in.When we arrived at his mansion, the workers came out to help."Good morning, sir. Good morning, ma'am," they chorused."Good morning," I replied, while he just walked

LAURA'S POV What is this man up to? He only wanted a girlfriend to get his mom off his neck, right? Then why is he doing this? He was silent, and when I followed his gaze, I noticed that the shirt I wore had ridden up, exposing my thighs in a rather provocative manner. When I caught him staring, a blush spread across his cheeks as he quickly looked away. Oh my goodness, my heart melted like jelly seeing such a strong man blush like that. He stayed with me for a while before leaving the mansion to work with Uriel. As soon as he was gone, I began pacing the room anxiously. I lied to him that I didn’t even have a phone anymore, I took in a deep breath as my ringing phone brought me out of my thoughts. I stared at the caller ID before answering. “Cindy,” I muttered, recognizing her voice as she chuckled on the other end. “You’ve been ignoring our calls, Laura. What do you think? That Mom and I are just going to let you live with your prince charming in luxury?” she taunted, causing

BRYAN'S POV**FEW HOURS AGO**“Gary called. He said your girlfriend left the estate,” Uriel said with a grin, and I frowned, glancing at my watch.“Laura left the estate? Did he mention where she was headed?” I asked, curiously.“I don’t know, but I do know Ossar asked for you to meet up with him,” Uriel replied, sipping from his wineI stood up immediately, the chair scraping against the floor, and Uriel raised his glass in a mocking toast.“Be careful, man,” he advised, and I nodded, as my mind was filled with different thoughts, I wondered what she was up to.When I arrived at the address Oscar had sent, I noticed he seemed troubled.“Where did you say you saw Laura again?” I asked as I sat beside him, watching him scroll through his phone.“Wild Rose,” he replied, lit up his cigarette and blowing out the puff of smoke.“What?” I asked, in disbelief. 'Laura at Wild Rose? What is she doing there? Who does she know?“That girl isn’t who she appears to be. She might look extraordinari

LAURA'S POV"Open up to me .... please ....stop pushing me out. It hurts," he uttered, and tears rolled out of my eyes.My heart squeezed with pain, and I realised I was so into this man more than I even realised, but I can't."Let's make this real. I can't pretend like I don't want this anymore. I don't know why, but I crave this every single day, for you to be my arms," he muttered as he sucked on my neck."Hmnn," I moaned as I held his strong arms tight."Brya...." I trailed, and his hands roamed my body. I pulled him in for a sweet kiss."Huhn," I moaned as we kissed hungrily.My mind was drunk at that point, and my brain was fuzzy as he took the lead, driving me deeper and deeper into his naughtiness.He carried me in his arms as we kissed passionately, our lips fighting for dominance.The room was suddenly so small and hot due to the dirty things we were doing.This attraction is forbidden, I'm not supposed to sleep with Bryan, it will only complicate the deal more than it alrea

BRYAN'S POV"I'm sorry, Bryan. I can't be a man's second option, I just can't," she muttered, pulling her hands from mine. Without another word, she walked into the bathroom and shut the door behind her. The sound of her muffled sobs reached me through the walls, and it felt like a dagger twisting in my chest.I hated myself for being the source of her pain. I left the room, giving her the space she clearly needed.After last night, I know exactly what I want from her it's not just about having her in my bed. She doesn't even realize how much she controls my emotions. She's like a magnet, drawing me in, even when I know I should keep my distance.But after our outburst and the heated argument that followed, I don't know where we stand anymore. I want to move on from the painful memories of Mia, but they haunt me, creeping into my thoughts at the worst times those moments we shared, the way we made love, the sweetness of our time together.

BRYAN'S POV"Are you blushing? Seriously, aww," she cooed sweetly, and I laughed."I'm not blushing," I replied, looking away."Oh please, it's very obvious you were blushing because I said you had your hands all over me," she whispered."I didn't even tell you how your fingers felt in my..." She trailed off."Laura," I interrupted my heart racing. This girl makes me feel so different like I've never experienced intimacy before.My cheeks heated with a blush as I remembered how intensely I was moaning during our make-out session last night. I groaned as my discomfort grew."You shouldn't be telling me that unless you want a replay of what happened," I cautioned, and she laughed."Let's have breakfast together," I declared, and she smiled."I'm sorry I ruined your attempt at being a romantic boyfriend," she said, and I laughed as I wrapped my arms around her waist."I deserve it; after all, I did get on the tigress's nerves," I said, and she smiled."Little one," I called sweetly."I'm

LAURA'S POVMy heart pounded in my chest as he squeezed my ass cheek sweetly and pulled me close."Bryan, I'm sleepy," I said, breaking the kiss."Okay, you go to the room. I'll be there shortly," he said, and I looked at him amusedly."Why?" I asked, and he sucked on his bottom lip as he chuckled."Trust me, sweetness," he said, and my heart warmed.If anything was stopping me from falling for Bryan, it has vanished into thin air because this man is irresistible. His sweet words and caring side can sweep any woman off her feet."I will be in the room," I announced and stared at him curiously.What is he up to? Or was he trying to... My thoughts trailed off, and my cheeks heated up immediately.Is he trying to help himself after what happened between us just now? The thought of Bryan pleasuring himself had me feeling naughty.I got into his room and lay down on the bed to sleep. Some minutes later, I felt him on the bed as he pulled me into his embrace.

LAURA'S POV We returned to the city after that weekend, and the whole family was happy about the news, especially his mom and friends. The plans for our wedding went on with full force. Bryan and I wanted something simple, by the sea with family and friends, that was it. A few days before my wedding, I noticed I was seriously sick. I couldn't eat anything because the moment it got in my stomach, I threw it all up. I couldn't even leave the bed. Bryan was out of the country with Oscar for business otherwise, he would be worried sick. "Babe, get off the bed, we are supposed to go cake tasting today," Kora complained. "I can't... I feel so weak... my boobs ache a bit, they feel so full..." I murmured weakly. "What?" Julie inquired, and I rubbed my forehead. "Have you eaten something? Besides, you're burning up pretty badly." "I throw up the minute it gets in my stomach," I replied, and she gasped. "When was the last time you saw your periods?" she probed, and I stared at her. "I

BRYAN'S POV It's been two weeks since the incident with Mikoy and the rest. Laura hasn't been herself, she's been quiet, and the nightmares have moved to a whole new level. It hurt me because it felt like the devil still controlled her happiness from the land of the dead. She has been seeing a therapist, and we are hoping for positive results. I just want my woman to be okay, and maybe a change of environment for a while would help, I thought calmly. "What are you thinking about?" she inquired while walking into our room. It's crazy how I went into a state of confusion when I found out Ruby was not mine. I did a DNA test and I'm waiting for the results. "About you, about us... I think we need space from everything, love," I stated, and she looked at me in confusion as I held her hand. "Let's go out of the country for a while," I suggested, and she stared at my face. "But what about our daughter...?" she trailed off, and my heart warmed at her ability to always create spa

AUTHOR'S POINT OF VIEW "Sylvia didn't commit suicide. The annoying thing is the fact that she was murdered right under our nose," Oscar declared angrily as he fixed his tie. "Who killed her then?" Chase inquired as he took a drag from his smoke. "Her former boss," he replied, rubbing his forehead. "Madam Valencia?" Bryan cursed under his breath as he looked away. How she managed to get her men into the estate was definitely something to worry about. "She didn't send her men, she paid one of our men to do it, then sent a letter of apology after her job was done," Oscar responded as he threw the envelope. "And the fucker that betrayed us?" Bryan inquired. "Nowhere to be found for now. I think he went into hiding." "I always knew she wasn't stupid enough to take her own life. Too bad her past came back at her," Trenton commented, shaking his head. "Enough of Sylvia. Tonight is Cindy's party. Everyone must stick to the plan. I want this over. I've had enough of their madness," B

LAURA'S POVBryan smiled softly as he looked in my direction. I returned the same hearty smile to him.The meeting moved from dinner to the discussion of our plans and how things would be done."Cindy is already a fool right now when it comes to me, so letting me into her party is gonna be the easiest thing to do," Trenton spoke up, telling us his plan."So Laura is gonna be the bait?" Bryan inquired immediately after I came into the picture."It's a brilliant idea," I uttered before he would say no."Brilliant idea? My love, you can't face that bastard. Remember how it turned out the last time?" He questioned, concern written all over his face."How long will I keep running, love? It's high time I face my past and put an end to Mikoy once and for all, so I'm in," I declared firmly, and he sighed softly without saying anything else.He was angry, but I'd deal with his drama later. We can't add that to the list of our numerous problems.Trenton chipped in, "This time around, we have to

BRYAN'S POVThey used to have a romantic relationship in the past? If it really isn't something to be worried about, why didn't she tell me? I wondered as I ran my fingers through my hair with a frown on my face."Don't tell me you're still thinking about that stuff," Trenton nudged me on the arm as we walked toward our rooms."I can't help myself," I replied, and he chuckled."Talk to her, then. Don't let doubt creep in. This is the time when you both need each other the most, man," he urged, and I nodded as he walked in the opposite direction.I walked to my room, and there she was, in her nightwear with Ruby in her arms."Hey, love," she greeted with a bright smile on her face.I couldn't return the smile, though, even if I tried, my mind kept going back and forth."My crown," she called, and I sighed softly."Why didn't you tell me you used to have a past with Cris?" I inquired, and she turned to me in confusion."Are we still talking about him, love? I told you, there's no need t

LAURA'S POV"He asked about Cris," I told my best friend, and Kora stared at me."And what did you tell him?" she questioned while folding some clean towels."Nothing, I didn't tell him. What would I have told him?" I frowned, even the thought kept a rotten feeling in my stomach."At least, Cris used to work for you, so he would let it slide. You don't know how men can be," she chuckled."Cris used to like me so much, there was a time we even kissed, like, made out," I said, scratching my neck nervously."Wait, did you guys sleep together?" she exclaimed, her jaw literally dropping."No, no, bestie, what would make you even think that?" I replied, and she raised both hands in surrender."Don't blame me, baby girl, that guy is smoking hot..." She trailed off."Plus, you guys used to make out in the past," she teased, and my cheeks heated up in embarrassment."Kora..." I whined, and she burst out laughing."Chill, it was in the past. Bryan also had a relationship with Sylvia, they even

AUTHOR'S POV"Is he okay?" Diane inquired, as she rubbed her arms softly."Mom, you need to calm down, please. At least eat something, Bryan wouldn't like to see you in this condition," Stephanie complained, as she hugged her mother closely."I can't eat with all those pipes connected to his body. I'm so scared, I can't lose any of my children," she voiced her fear."Bryan is a fighter, he'll be fine. Just be strong," Stephanie assured her mommy, and she nodded slowly.She had to be strong for her children. Bryan wasn't going to die on her, and that's one thing she strongly believed, even as fear gnawed at her."Hello, ma'am, the lady is awake," one of the nurses reported."Laura is awake, Mother," Stephanie exclaimed happily and left with the nurse to Laura's ward.Laura's eyes fluttered open for the second time, she closed them immediately due to how the bright lights burned her eyes.She opened them again and winced at how sore her body felt, her throat dry and her head hurt."Brya

LAURA'S POVBryan has been the sweetest since I woke up. I was strangely craving noodles, so I asked him to make me some.He stared at me in amusement because noodles weren't something I craved on a normal day. But he left to make me some, after which I invited him to join me.We ended up eating together, and his phone rang in the middle of the meal. I stared at him curiously as he picked up.He looked shocked about whatever he heard at the other end because he started talking in monosyllables.Something told me deep down that something was off."Huh..." He trailed off and stopped himself from continuing."I need to go," he announced immediately after he hung up the call."Go where? It's evening, and I want you here with me," I replied, and he bit his lower lip."It's very important, baby, but I promise I will be fine," he expressed, and I sighed."At least tell me where you're going, I don't feel too good," I complained."Maybe you're worrying too much," he mentioned and kissed my fo

BRYAN'S POV"How is she doing now? Is she okay?" Her best friend Kora inquired as she rushed into my room where Laura lay unconscious on the bed.We moved her to my place after the doctors were done with the most important treatment."She's still unconscious, but the doctor assured us she's out of danger," I responded, and she heaved a sigh of relief."Glad to hear that. I was worried when they told me what happened," she remarked, and I smiled."I caused it though, I made things worse," I mumbled, and she chuckled."Oh c'mon, it's not easy to be with Mikoy in one space and not want to end his life, not after everything he put our girl through," she said, and I pressed my lips tightly together."Be careful, Bryan. I know Laura would want this fight to end with everyone alive," she commented, and patted my back."I will come to check up on her again. Yvonne is awake," she informed me, and I murmured an okay."Everything is complicated, Cindy is part of Mikoy's team, meaning they planne
