The 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

“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
Last Updated : 2023-08-31The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 49 - She was both sick and relieved when he let her go.
Lifting her arms, Liz wrapped them around the back of his neck; shuddering when he let his hands trail down her body with such control that she was certain he was only trying to torment her.He started with her back, the backs of his fingers skimming a line down from her jaw to her chest and tracing the edge of her crisp white shirt right down to the first – perhaps prudishly high – button, then back up the other side, pressing one kiss, then another, and finally a third.She opened her mouth to say something, anything, but found she couldn’t. Her mind was too foggy. And there was the haunting fear that if she said the wrong thing she might break this unexpected magical spell they were both under.And yet…somewhere…something needled her, niggling at her.What was she forgetting? But then he let his hands wander down her back, dancing over her spine, her hips, until they were cupping her backside and she could do nothing but move with him and press tighter against him – heat against s
Last Updated : 2023-08-31The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 50 - Her grandpa appointed Adrian as Liz's assistant and secretary?
Liz Walters rushed to the conference room with her laptop in one hand and with her files in the other. It was a hassle opening and closing the door that one of the files almost slipped out of her hand when a pair of arms swiftly yet smoothly caught it midway, stopping it from meeting the ground.“Thank you –” She looked up at the person who’d helped her only to freeze on the spot.It was Adrian Moore.Before she could glance away, their gazes locked.When she finally snapped out of her momentarily shock, she breathed out, “What are you –”“What am I doing here?” Adrian interrupted, one of his perfect eyebrows arching inquisitively.She could only nod, deep in thought.Why was he here? What was he doing here? What was he up to? Is he up to something?A bunch of questions crossed her mind one after the other, puzzling her.It was only for a brief second though.She didn’t let her bewilderment control her mind and body. She stood upright and kept her face void of any emotions as she remi

“I don’t think so,” Adrian shook his head. “I have just recently come here to settle in Stratford.”“Oh, well,” her grandpa smiled at Adrian and then added, “I hope you like it around here then. If you have any issue, don’t hesitate to tell our employee relation manager. He will help you.”Adrian nodded at him, releasing the old man’s hand.From the corner of her eyes, Liz noticed Xander about to say something. She quickly threw him a stern look before sneakily shaking her head at him.Until she’d figure out what Adrian was up to, she’d have to hide Adrian’s real identity from her grandpa. The fewer people who knew about Adrian’s real identity, the better it would be for Liz. She wouldn’t have to worry about her grandpa finding the truth from a stranger.So far, only her grandma and Xander knew who Adrian was.It didn’t take long before Liz was back into her office.She needed to complete an important presentation which was due for the next morning. She would have to present their lat

“To the hospital…? Why…?” Xander frowned at her. He seemed confused. “Are you not feeling well?”“I will tell you on the way there.” Liz briskly stood up, grabbing her purse and her car keys. “Can we head out first?”Xander hesitated at first but then, shrugged in indifference. “I guess, yeah!”Liz didn’t need to be told twice. She was already making her way out of her office, her pace difficult for Xander to match with that he kept lagging behind.When they reached the underground parking slot, Liz’s hands wouldn’t stop shaking. She faked a short laugh when she caught Xander making a face at her. “I got it, just give me a second.”Xander shook his head in exasperation before snatching the car keys from her shaky hands. “I don’t think you can drive in this state and I won’t even allow you to drive. Let me drive it,” he didn’t wait for Liz’s response and got into the driver’s seat.When Liz kept standing right in the spot he’d left her, he snapped his fingers to get her out of her froz
Last Updated : 2023-09-07The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 53 - "Your husband," Adrian was quick...
Liz Walters explained everything she’d been experiencing lately ever since she’d found out she was pregnant, all the pregnancy symptoms and cravings.The female doctor, Dr. Kelly, smiled once Liz was done explaining everything. “Those are pretty normal. There’s nothing worrying about that.” She said reassuringly.“But I’m unable to eat nowadays. Won’t that affect the child?” Liz pressed a hand over the small swell of her stomach.“That’s why I’ll be giving you some vitamins and supplements. Also, your next follow-up appointment will be scheduled for next week.” She gestured at the little piece of paper on which she’d prescribed some medicines for Liz. “One last thing, I need to check on your little one.”Liz frowned at her. “How…?”“I will perform a sonography. Do you see that screen over there?” Dr. Kelly pointed at the small machine which looked like those old televisions from the 19th century.Liz turned to look back at her before nodding.“You will be able to see your child on tha
Last Updated : 2023-09-08The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 54 - She moaned, sagging in his embrace.
Adrian Moore stood inside Liz’s house waiting for her to make it pass the doorway. Shame burned up the back of his neck. He’d never let anyone fight his battles for him, and he wasn’t about to start now. He’d deal with her scolding one more time like he had for the past few weeks.He’d been so determined that he hadn’t stopped pestering her and he would do it until she would agree to give him a second chance. He’d even moved-in to his new apartment from the extended-stay hotel where he’d been living when he’d finally found one closest to Liz’s house.He didn’t care what people or what their neighbours would say when they would see him constantly waiting outside her house.One day, Liz was so fed up with his persistent visits that she gave him a spare key to her house so that their nosy neighbours who seemed more interested to know what was going on between them than worry about their own houses.And unlike the way she’d been treating him before, her attitude toward him was slowly gett

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
