The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 35 - Liz told her grandma everything!
That night when Mrs. Walters came to check on Liz, she found her deep asleep. She’d heard her crying when she’d left her bedroom earlier. “She must have wept herself to sleep.” She mumbled to herself.She sat down beside her and then, lightly brushed her fingers across her forehead. Liz looked so worn out, she thought to herself as she gently shook her on the shoulder to wake her up. She gave her a few minutes and watched as she slowly pried her eyes open.Liz saw her grandma leaning above her. “Gram,” she gulped, sitting up against her pillows. “What time is it?”“”It’s seven o’clock. Dinner is ready…” her grandma murmured. “Do you want to go down or do you want me to bring yours upstairs?”“Did you eat?” Liz asked, looking at her with heavy eyes.The trip back home had been one hell of a ride. She felt so drained out that she hadn’t realized when she’d fallen asleep.“I wanted to eat with you,” her grandma reached forward and held her hands.“Can we eat here?” Liz did not want to go
Last Updated : 2023-08-18The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 36 - She felt nausea.
Liz Walters stirred when her alarm woke her. Groaning, she blindly reached out to grab her clock and switch off the irritating noise, then flopped back against her pillows.It’s been a month since she’d returned home. Things have been so different from when she’d run away. She believed her grandma has spoken to his grandpa and the air has been strangely calm and light, not oppressive like it’d been before.Although at first her grandpa had seemed a bit angry and close off around her, he’d gradually eased up to his wife’s new set of rules and to having Liz back in the house.One night, he’d started a conversation, one which Liz was trying to avoid at all cost – regarding the family business. He wanted to inform Liz, not like he hadn’t done so before for a hundred times already, that she would have to take over the family business.She was already aware that she would have to take care of it someday but she wasn’t ready yet. And, her grandpa never wasted a second to educate her about th

“Ooh, no thanks. I’ll just have some juice.” Liz shook her head.“Dieting?”Liz laughed, dipping past her grandpa to open the fridge and look inside. There was some grape juice, so she poured herself a glass of that.“There’s a group meeting that we should be present for. Will you be at the office?” Her grandpa asked.Of course she will be! She was glad he changed the subject. Focusing on her office related work, on her career, the future – that was what she should be thinking about right now. Nothing else should be of any concern to her.“Yeah, what is it about?”“The IT department will be presenting a proposal of their model. They want to include the AI system. I think it might be good idea but…” he took a second before finally saying, “well, we’ll see.”Liz nodded, remembering reading about how quickly AI is being introduced to the public. It would indeed be great to try and see the way in which it can be used in the production of phones.“It will be my first time having a meeting

Liz Walters swallowed nervously. “No, it’s okay! I won’t be long, and then I’ll be right back, good as new.” She attempted another weak smile.“Alright,” Xander gave her a nod before getting inside the elevator.Once the elevator doors slide closed, she exhaled a sigh of relief. She was so close to getting caught. If she’d blurted out anything she wasn’t supposed to say, words would have gotten directly to her grandpa. That was something she did not want to happen right now.She wore her jacket. It was getting cold outside. It would look odd if she’s said she was going out but didn’t take her coat.Walking out, she nodded a greeting at one of the receptionists she vaguely recognized.It didn’t take long for her to find a pharmacy which was not that far yet not that close to the company. It was a few blocks down the road to the left. She checked her surroundings before going inside.She went straight to the first lady she saw working behind the counter.The woman in her late thirties l
Last Updated : 2023-08-21The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 39 - How can she move on when she's pregnant with his child?
Liz Walters went home and immediately found herself in her bedroom.How long she stood with her back against her bedroom door she didn’t know, but when she realized she needed to do something, rather than just stand there and stare at nothing in particular, she noticed that tears she’d been trying to hold back had started rolling down her cheeks.Those were tears for her pitiful life…for her contract marriage… for what had happened with Adrian and now this pregnancy.She’d initially thought that everything would be okay after she’d left everything behind and returned home but she was so wrong!There was a new concern, a new fear and a new reminder of Adrian about to turn her life upside down.She’d told herself that she was brave enough to do this but was she really now that she was pregnant? Walking out of her office with a partially inflated belly had been like leaving her reasoning behind.When she had left Adrian behind, she’d known right there and then that she’d never be the sam
Last Updated : 2023-08-22The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 40 - An unexpected encounter with Adrian!
Liz Walters woke to waves of nausea and staggered sleepily toward the bathroom, hoping she wasn’t about to throw up all over her bedroom floor. Thankfully, she made it, and washed her face afterwards, rinsing her mouth with water and blinking tiredly at her reflection.I look awful. Where’s that glow everyone usually talks about while pregnant? She thought.Downstairs, dressed and ready for work, she stared at the breakfast the cook made them for today and felt nausea so she searched through the contents of the fridge and the cupboards for inspiration. She needed to eat, but what would stay down?There was a packet of chocolate cookies, half empty, so she grabbed a couple of those and ate them. It seemed to help, so she packed some to eat in the office in case she couldn’t eat the lunch her grandma had packed for her and drank a glass of juice before heading to work.She felt apprehensive working alongside her grandpa since she was struggling with her emotions around people nowadays.
Last Updated : 2023-08-23The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 41 - "It's Miss. Walters now."
Almost against her own will, Liz let her eyes trail lower. Her heart kicked up yet another gear as she fought to control the hallow breaths that jostled inside.If she didn’t know better, she might have thought that nothing has changed. He looked as fit, honed, as lethal as ever. And her fingers practically itched to reach out and test it for herself.But, she knew that he wasn’t the same man she’d met that night at that bar, he wasn’t the same man she’d loved and he definitely wasn’t the same man who used to make her feel loved.That night they had an argument, she’d seen another side of him, a side she would never want to see again. A side of him that could only see the flaws in her character and the mistakes she committed but it was all part of his imagination, all part of what that person who’d sent him pictures of her and Ivan together, wanted Adrian to believe.But, she was wronged, not just by that person but by Adrian as well. She was blamed for committing mistakes she never d
Last Updated : 2023-08-25The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 42 - He needed answers.
Liz Walters watched as Adrian stared at her in utter disbelief and felt guilty.“I want you to tell me the reason why you hid the truth from me, Liz,” he pressed her, with deliberate emphasis.Liz immediately thought about the truth she was hiding from him. Was she really going to hide this huge matter from him seeing how irate he appeared knowing that she hadn’t told him about her real identity? But this truth was something she wasn’t ready to talk about.Still, just like that, just because Adrian had spoken, she was Liz again. The same Liz she’d been when she was living in New York City, living with him as though the past month had never happened. “How did you know I was here?”“Anna and her assistant tracked Ivan down and found out that you were both from the same hometown. I took a chance and came here. I thought it would be difficult to search for you in such a huge town and I wasn’t sure I would even find you but there were talks about you around here. It didn’t take long for me

The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 92 - He conquered her love - her heart...
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
The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 91 - I need you to believe me.
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
The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 90 - The solution...?
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
The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 89 - Everyone was making decisions of their own!
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
The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 87 - A myriad of emotions...
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
The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 86 - A pregnant wife with mood swings!
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
The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 85 - Kicked outside?
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
