“Liz?” Adrian nudged her with his elbow. “Do you need some time?”

Gulping, Liz nodded at him.

“Then, come with me,” he steered her to the left and down the hallway, opposite to where the banquet hall was.

“Where are we going?” Liz asked him, tugging at his hand.

“I have a personal room at this hotel. You can use it.” He explained.

Liz let him guide her to the room he’d mentioned. She tried to keep her mind off Ivan and instead, watched as they passed by several rooms before stopping at a specific one.

It didn’t have a room number. It had Mr. Moore engraved onto a silver plate on the wall beside the door. “I’d brought the keys just in case we’d get bored at the party. I never thought we’d really need the room.” He unlocked the door and opened it for Liz.

Closing it behind them, he gestured at Liz to have a seat. “If you want to order anything, let me know.”

Liz didn’t want to talk. She needed some time to be by herself. So, she left Adrian in the living room area and went into t

    Adrian Moore saw indecision cross her face and knew she was tempted. He also knew he was right – it was a rare thing for this woman to just let herself be silly and relax. She’d made the decision to thrust the free-spirited part of herself away and focus on being someone this world would easily accept. It was shameful… really. Whoever made her this restrained and confused must have been orthodox. Especially for things as simple as the fact that this amazing women didn’t even know how to unwind on a beautiful evening like this one. He’d admit that this sort of party wasn’t her thing but if only she wasn’t this timid and guarded, she’d have eased herself easily into it. Unable to resist, he pulled her hand closer, lifting it to his lips. He had kissed her on the lips last Friday night, but hadn’t had a chance to explore all that soft, fragrant, feminine skin. Well, he wasn’t fully sober so… He wanted to feel the softness of her skin against his lips… badly. Her hand would do for a st

    Liz Walters was at first, worried about being at such an extravagant party with a bunch of socialites and business men, considering she simply hated being part of some affluent gatherings. In the end, though, she was glad she listened to Adrian because she felt a lot better being herself. Adrian was, in truth, incredibly charming, friendly, funny and easy to talk to, Liz slowly came to realize that through the night. And, by the end of the night, he’d made her completely forget she was mad at him for taunting her about the way they’d met, and about commenting on her past relationship with Ivan. She’d also forgotten she’d promised herself to live by her grandparents’ principles even though she’d long run away from home. She found herself enjoying the night with him. She couldn’t help enjoying his company; nobody could. He was just the kind of man everybody wanted to be around. He helped his grandma move around at the party, dismissed her care-giver for the night, spent quality time d

  • The CEO's Love Conquest   Chapter 18 - Dreaming...

    It was evening. Not yet dark – minutes before sunset, perhaps. The sky was a swirl blend of pink, orange and purple. The day’s last golden sunbeams pierced the clear sky, sending warmth cascading down on the earth, a shower of sun drops, and a heavy rain of dazzling heat. Liz felt it sizzling on her skin, warming every inch of her. Something had beckoned her outside – a scent. A musky, masculine smell filled her nostrils and intoxicated her, sending pulsing need flowing through her veins. She needed to follow it, breathe it in, and let it fill her completely. She was drawn to its source as if pulled irrevocably forward by some invisible strings that had latched around her body. The place changed to somewhere else and she found herself walking into the woods, surrounded by wild trees, loops of vines, the greens and browns of nature’s forest trees creating a vivid view. When she inhaled again, the air tasted of pine, oaky bark and musky earth. And man, oh, delightful, hot, spic

  • The CEO's Love Conquest   Chapter 19 - They'd become one

    Liz Walters arched her back against Adrian, groaning, and was rewarded with the feel of his massive form pressed against her. He was naked, sweaty, his body impaling her with sensation, from the chest that seemed twice as broad as her back, all the way down his stomach, to the thick and fully erection rubbing against her bottom. “Yes,” she cried, every sense roaring to life, every inch of her in tune to the sensations that battered her like the strong winds of a hurricane. Liquid want flooded her sex and she was dying to be filled by him. She desperately wanted to turn around, to see his face, to behold the incredibly sensual man seducing her right out of the arms of another naked man. “No, she’s mine,” Ivan said. “I’m the one she’s supposed to be with.” She looked down at him. With his face obscured by the mist, he still lay below her. She’d completely forgotten about him. She could see the angry thrust of his sculpted jaw, the snarl on his lip. And she felt between her th

  • The CEO's Love Conquest   Chapter 20 - She was supposed to have this entire day to herself!

    The first strange dream had been about Adrian appearing like a knight in shining armor and saving her from being trampled down by a huge mountain which was collapsing due to an earthquake. She’d come to think of it as Adrian saving her from being homeless and penniless. She couldn’t seem to know what to make of this second dream about him… She had a lot on her mind and this morning, she couldn’t even bring herself to act normal in front of Adrian without him noticing that something was wrong with her so she preferred to stay away from him – well until she’d feel okay to be around him. After forcing a few bites of the sandwich Adrian had made for her down her throat, she discarded the rest in the dustbin, her hunger satiated from the moment she’s read his message on that note. Gulping down the orange juice, she turned the TV on to watch and even though there was nothing interesting to watch, she stayed put. She’d do anything to get her mind off Adrian and make her forget even seeing

    “Do you want me to stay with you?” Ivan proposed… once again. “No, no. You can go.” Liz swallowed. “I’m just…” she pointed in the direction of the café. “ – going that way. I haven’t had anything yet so...” She gave him another weak smile. “All right… Try and eat something – it might help.” She nodded. “Yes. I will. Yes…” Why was he looking at her like that? As if he cared? As if he was really worried about her? There was no need for that. She wasn’t any of his business. At least she hoped not. If he was back from France to be with her, then – No, don’t even consider it. She chided herself. She glanced down at his fingers still wrapped around her arm before looking back at him. His eyes trailed down as well, looking down at his own hand before he’d met her eyes again. Nothing was left to be said. He simply but reluctantly released her arm. She saw the regret in his eyes, the remorse that consumed him, and the pain of knowing that his decision of having left her when she needed

    “Why… what was that about?” The longer Liz stood catching her breath, the angrier she became.“What in God’s name gave you the impression I’d be fine with you assaulting me? Actually no, don’t answer that. I don’t want to know what’s going on in your mind. The answer this time is, and will always be, no. Not only no but hell no. I don’t need you no more. I’ve managed just fine on my own.” Fury made her see red.Knowing it will be pointless waiting for any kind of response from him when he was this drunk, she spun on her heels and started heading back to the café, the only place where she would be safe from this man who she’d once considered her best-friend.A viselike grip locked on her upper arm and hauled her around. Momentum slammed her into Ivan’s body. “You’ve managed just fine on your own? It seems like little miss goody two shoes haven’t been home lately.” He laughed when her eyes widened. “Do your grandpa and grandma know where you’re staying at?”“That’s none of your business

    Liz Walters really wanted to call Adrian but she couldn’t do it. She was scared he’d come down on her for making something out of nothing, that he’d sound like her grandpa and ruin what she felt for him, had terrified her. And, if she was totally honest, Ivan had succeeded in planting a kernel of doubt in her heart where Adrian was concerned.The doorbell rang, shaking her from her thoughts.Liz spun around so hard and fast that she bounced her hip off the foot of the bed. “Damn it!” This time the epithet was yelled out loud.Heart in her throat, she wondered who was at the door. If it was Adrian, he wouldn’t have rung the doorbell. What if it was a member of his family? Shit! She didn’t have the courage to deal with any of them right now.She rolled her lips in to stop herself from picking at her fingernails again. She wanted to wait until the doorbell would stop ringing but then, she heard the front door opening and someone walking in.It could be Ben.Liz closed her eyes and forced

    Liz Walters stared at him for a minute. “I believe you, I… was just mad when I learnt that you didn’t care to tell me about that solution you’d come up with,” she managed. “So you’re really here to stay?”“For good… the only travelling I intend to do is to visit my family back home and that too, with you and our babies tagging along with me.”Liz found herself smiling at his words.Adrian has a brother? The thought struck her mind. “Wait, you have a brother?”He met her eyes and then nodded. “Asher is my little brother. He just graduated college and has obtained a high level of knowledge and skill when it comes to business and finance. I believe he’d take good care of the company.”“He definitely will. After all he’s the brother of Adrian Moore.” She said with pride.Adrian slowly shook his head at her. “Don’t be so proud of me. Last time, you said I’d be back in no time after solving that issue with the investors. It took me a week to sort it out. The wait damn near killed me.”“If y

    Adrian Moore shoved his hands into his pockets and bounced his shoulders up and down a little. The night was drawing in, so, it was chilly and damp. “I guess I’ll see you guys soon.”Anna smiled at her brother. “I’ll see you. Take good care of my sister-in-law.” She warned him with her eyes narrowed down into slits. “Otherwise…” She left that hanging for her brother to imagine the pretty images by himself.Adrian raised his hands up in surrender. “I get it! There’s no need for you to get so threatening.”“Yeah, I really hope I won’t have to get physical with you the next time I see you. Liz has my number so be careful!” She said with a nonchalant shrug.Adrian simply rolled his eyes at his sister.“This is what I get to deal with every day.” James quietly complained as he gave Adrian a nudge.“Did you say something?” Anna asked James with a murderous glare.James quickly shook his head from side to side. “I said nothing!”“Good! No one wants to hear your ugly voice.” Anna crossed her

    Adrian Moore placed his hand on their office door, ready to push it wide open when James held his shoulder to stop him.“Wait! If we walk in like that, it would be a sign of disrespect.” James warned him.“But I want to have this problem solved as soon as possible.” Adrian turned to look at him with an impatient look on his face.“I know but,” James gave him a sympathetic look.Before they could start an argument of their own, the door was swung open from the inside and standing right in front of them, was one of the investors, Mr. Williams.“Excuse me; can I help you with something?” The old man gave him a long, cold unfriendly stare.“Is it really necessary to remind you why we’re here? Well, in case you forgot our meeting yesterday…” Adrian trailed off when James threw him a pointed look.‘What?’ Adrian pursed his lips at him.‘We’re here to solve the issue, not to aggravate the situation.’ James made sure he got his words across his moody and snappy best-friend – the same best-fri

    Liz Walters watched as her grandpa nodded his head, a knowing look on his face.She narrowed her eyes a trifle at him and nudge him with her elbow, “Grandpa?”Mr. Walters snapped out of his reverie and turned to look at Liz. “Yes…”“Is there anything you aren’t telling me?” She asked him, her frown deepening.“Actually, I’ve had a talk with Adrian about this matter.” The old man revealed after some hesitation as though he wasn’t so sure whether he should be telling her about this or not. “Grandpa, I told you not to discuss this with him –”He held his right hand up to stop her. “I know but I had to talk to him. And we came up with a solution.” He said calmly and reassuringly.“Solution…? What is it?” She asked as she folded her arms across her chest.He opened his mouth to tell her about it when he decided otherwise. “I think it would be better if Adrian tells you about it himself.”“Why won’t you tell me?” Liz was annoyed and a bit frustrated that her own grandpa was keeping stuffs

  • The CEO's Love Conquest   Chapter 88 - Time is of essence with this project.

    Adrian Moore walked through his office, navigating cubicles, stopping here and there to exchange a word of encouragement and sometimes a laugh, with his employees. By now, everyone at the company learnt about the mishap with the investors.Unlike his father, none of his employees blamed him for it. They believed it was entirely the investors’ fault for overreacting.His company, the same company his father had founded on dollar bills and a dream, was on the cusp of a huge deal – the same deal he’d messed up – well those investors messed up because of their weird problem with video conference calls.After securing the rights to develop the resort on Lake Washington in a battle with Dwayne Jameson, an established developer, that had, at times, been brutal, they were waiting for the approval of the environmental engineer’s plan.More importantly, they were waiting for the investors to agree to fund the plan. That was the last thing left to do. If only Adrian hadn’t found out that they wo

    Liz Walters’s mood had definitely lifted once Adrian had showed her around his house. “You should be thankful that bitch left.” She mumbled under her breath.“Woah, chill out on the crude words,” Adrian held out a hand at her as though to shush her. “Our babies are listening to you.”Liz simply rolled her eyes at him.“You look exhausted.” His eyebrows furrowed as he studied her face.“Yeah,” she said, her voice low, toneless.“I found the mole at work. It’s the guy from my team who prints our documents and everything. Aaron was supposed to be the most trustworthy person in my department. I gave him the responsibility of taking care of our confidential papers but…” she trailed off, deep in thought.“But you managed to save your first project from getting sabotaged.” He pointed out. “I’ve said this to you before and I’ll say it again. You’re too good at your job to let anyone become an obstruction for you,” he said.Liz’s eyes lit up in admiration and contentment as she smiled at the m

    Adrian Moore stood up in surprise. He didn’t want to ignore Liz but he was too shocked to say anything. “What are you doing in my house? How did you get inside?” He asked the woman who’d frozen in place like a deer caught in headlights.“She’s at your place? What is she doing over there, Adrian?” Liz questioned him, sounding suspicious all of a sudden and… hurt.Fuck no!He was torn in between questioning Jocelyn and answering Liz’s questions. What the fuck did he get himself caught into?“Wait a second, Liz.” Adrian held out a finger as he looked at Jocelyn, seemingly troubled.“What is she doing at your place, Adrian?” Liz demanded.“Baby, listen to me,” he turned his back on Jocelyn to have some privacy. “Do you trust me?”“Adrian –”“Liz, do you trust me?” He asked with more urgency.There was a moment of silence before Liz whispered, “Yes, I do.”“Let me handle this thing,” he said disdainfully as he threw Jocelyn a disgusted look. “– then, I’ll call you back.”“Promise…?” Liz as

    Adrian Moore sensed rather than saw his father come into his office.He felt a tension, a kind of palpability, as he heard the door close quietly beside him and he just knew it was him. He didn’t turn around.He continued swirling his pen around in his fingers as he read through the file he had been reading except that he wasn’t reading it no more.He glanced over briefly to see where his father was and saw him standing right in front of his table, one hand in his pocket while the other one was fisted tightly.“Busy…?” He asked.“Yeah…” He hadn’t intended to sound so gruff, but he knew he had. It wasn’t really because of his father.It was the worrying thoughts running through his mind. He still hasn’t decided on a way to negotiate with those investors and knowing his father, he wouldn’t take long before asking him about it. He wouldn’t be surprised if he jumped straight to the point.His father looked at him, his face filled with suppressed anger. “What have you thought? I need those

  • The CEO's Love Conquest   Chapter 84 - A way to negotiate with those investors!

    Adrian Moore pulled the car right in front of Liz’s house and shut off the engine.He thought it would be best if Liz would stay at her grandparents’ house while he was away. As long as she wasn’t all by herself at their house and staying here with her grandparents, he would be less worried about her and their babies.It was already half past six and he had to catch his flight to New York at exactly eight o’clock.He didn’t think much about having to cover the two hours journey to the airport in one hour and a half. As long as he was able to spend some more time with Liz, he didn’t mind that at all.Turning to his right, he looked at Liz.She was nervously fidgeting with her fingers until he’d had her gazes locked with his. They found themselves staring at one another for a moment.Adrian wished time would stop right there just so he could stay here with her forever but…“I’ll see you soon,” one corner of his mouth fluttered up.“Don’t take too long,” she teased, leaning in to give hi
