The 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
Last Updated : 2023-08-25The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 43 - She'd already made her decision.
A lot had changed in this past month. Adrian had changed. How many times had he imagined finding her, explaining himself to her, asking for forgiveness? But not here, not like this...He needed to do it properly to show her how he’d turned his life around. This was the chance he’d been waiting for to get her back. And he wasn’t about to blow it. If only he could work his tongue loose to say a damned word. “I heard you’ve been awarded with the Forbes under 30 as one of the top innovative leaders,” Liz blurted out, clearly unable to stand the silence any longer. “I was doing my job.” He simply said with an indifferent shrug. “The newspapers don’t seem to think so,” she babbled on but, irrationally, he was more fascinated by the way her pulse was leaping erratically at her throat. “They said you’re impressive for having achieved this award in such a short time.” He’d hated the publicity for that. Impressive, nonsense! The public had lauded him for that award, yet all he could thin
Last Updated : 2023-08-26The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 44 - "It is not over yet."
Adrian Moore gripped the edge of the table. He had a bunch of questions running through his mind, questions to which he needed answers. “What did you decide?” The question was out of his mouth before he could stop himself. He needed to know. “Isn’t it obvious already? I want to stay here. I need to take care of my grandparents, my company and –” She stopped abruptly as though she was about to say something she shouldn’t have said and he had no idea how he resisted the impulse to go to her. He felt a bit weird knowing that she’d chosen to stay here, that she hadn’t thought about him at least once. “What about me?” Adrian couldn’t stop himself. Although he might have sounded childish, he was genuinely curious.She couldn’t have possibly just decided to stay here when he had to stay in New York City…? How would they live so far away from one another? But why she would think about me, he then thought. If she’d moved on, she would not be thinking about him and his feelings. That would
Last Updated : 2023-08-27The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 45 - There was no one like Liz.
Liz Walters watched as Adrian moved quickly to her side, snaking an arm around her shoulders before introducing himself, “I’m Adrian Moore, Liz’s husband.” Her head whipped around. She stared at him, horrified that he’d openly announced that he was her husband when they’d only been together through a contract marriage. In other words, he wasn’t her real husband. They met each others’ gaze for a few moments – maybe an eternity – neither of them wanting to be the first one to break the pin-dropped silence. But one of them was going to have to, and, after everything, Liz knew it had to be her. She was the only one who knew Adrian was lying and also, she was the only one who could reduce this tension arising between these two men. Liz turned to look at Xander. He seemed like a deer caught in headlights. His eyes kept switching back and forth between me and Adrian. “Can you give us a minute, please?” She politely asked the man. Hearing Liz’s voice, Xander snapped out of his state of sh
Last Updated : 2023-08-28The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 46 - The way I feel about you has changed.
Adrian Moore squinted at her as he tried to figure out what she meant by that.“Well, let’s see.” Liz lifted her hand as though to tick off her point one at a time.“First you say I’m in Stratford because I thought it was far enough from New York City for you not to know I was here but you still found me and wants me to go back with you. Then you declare that you have the right to order me around because as per the contract, I’m still your wife so you’ll always be by my side. So which is what, Adrian because you can’t have it both ways?”It was that flash of temper, her refusal to cower, which he just adored and loved about her. And this feeling clawed its way inside him right now. It made him want to pull her to him when he knew he should be taking things slowly…until she would forgive him.But it was proving impossible to hold back when he’d essentially met her after a month of absence. Especially when she looked at him the way she was doing right now, even if he doubted she realize
Last Updated : 2023-08-29The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 47 - Anna told me everything.
“My body clearly doesn’t know when to shut up, then,” Liz snapped.But her tone was a little bit more fragile than he might have expected it to be. As though there was something he was missing. Was she hiding something from me? Liz raked her hands through her hair in a gesture he recognized only too easily as a sign of just how wound up she was. “I can’t just fall back into your arms, Adrian. I won’t. You don’t understand. I…there are certain things that I need to consider first.” She stopped for a brief second before adding, “I need some time.”“You can take however much of time you’d like but I only want to know one thing, will you give a second chance?” he countered.Moreover, he couldn’t possibly pretend like her being so closed off around him like that didn’t bother him…at all. He wanted to make sure their misunderstandings would be cleared and she would agree to give their relationship a second chance and probably take it a step further.He needed some kind of reassurance from
Last Updated : 2023-08-30The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 48 - It was a dangerous game, a thrilling game.
“Who did you think she was?” Adrian arched an eyebrow at her. A knowing smirk tugged at his lips. Had she been defensive because she’d thought that there was something between him and Anna?Shit! He was such a fool. He should have told her earlier that Anna was his sister.He watched as she opened her mouth as though to say something before deciding against it.A short laugh escaped his mouth.She gave him a pointed look and that shut him up. “I need to head back home.”The little happiness he’d felt died down. “Home…?” He stupidly asked.“Yes, home…” She said. Her voice was barely above a whisper but since he was standing so close to her, he heard her pretty loud and clear.“Please,” he implored, blocking her from walking away when she proceeded to head out. “I need to speak with you.”“I think we’ve spoken enough already, Adrian.” She shook her head, refusing to listen to him.“Please, Liz.” He begged.She seemed to consider it before she hesitantly agreed. “We can go back to my off

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
