The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 63 - "You might be the player, baby, but I'm the coach."
Liz Walters rubbed a hand over her thundering heart and fought to control her breath. She hadn’t thought about being exclusive so soon. “Don’t you think it’s a little fast for that?”Adrian turned to look at her.“Not really.” He pierced her with a bold green stare. “We just admitted that we aren’t seeing anyone else. Well, I’m not seeing anyone else while I’m with you because I have my eyes only on you. You said you aren’t seeing anyone else, so I’m going to assume you’re not seeing anyone else, either.”He frowned, his gaze becoming fierce. “Unless we’re talking about Xander, then I’ll have to kill the slimy son of a bitch.”A nervous half gasp, half laugh escaped before she said. “No, I’m not dating Xander.”He grinned at her. “Then you just saved his life.”“You scare me a little,” she said, the words a whisper. “First the roses guy and now, Xander…? Really…?”His eyebrows winged down. “You realize I’m joking, right? I’m not some secret spy agent guy here to fight Xander for movin

Liz Walters lay down on the hospital bed and undid the button and the zip of her jeans. To be frank, it was a relief. She’d stuffed herself into them this morning, figuring they would do for the rest of the week, but she’d been regretting that decision ever since she’d left home. Now she lay there, flinching as cold gel was squirted onto her lower abdomen and Dr. Kelly placed the probe. She smiled as she glanced down at her stomach. She couldn’t see the screen, but she could see the doctor frowning and her spirits sank. After she’d been advised not to miss any of her appointments, she ended up missing one last week and now she feared the worst. She mentally prepared herself for the worst. “What is it, Kelly? Please, tell me.” Dr. Kelly shook her head. “I’m…uh…just give me a moment. I think I need someone to double-check something for me.” She grabbed her desk phone and called someone. Liz’s heart began racing anxiously. Was there anything wrong with her child? A knock at the door

“Adrian, I’m sorry, sorrier than you can ever know. But please, listen to me. I didn’t want you to find out like this. Don’t do this, Adrian.” Liz pleaded. Adrian didn’t answer. His eyes slid past her shoulders. He wouldn’t look at her. The silence spiraled around her, coiling and menacing. It felt like an eternity before anyone spoke again. “Twins,” He muttered quietly at last as though he was rolling it around his head, letting it sink in, letting it take ground. “Twins,” she repeated quietly. “I wanted to tell you. I promise I wanted to tell you but… not like this.” He turned to look at her again as though he was seeing her for the first time. And it wasn’t a good experience. A shiver rippled over her body. “You’re having twins? I’m going to be a father? And you kept this from me all this time?” He shook his head as if he was finding it hard to believe her right now. “I – I can explain.” It sounded hollow, so inadequate, still… “If you give me a chance…” For another painstak
Last Updated : 2023-09-20The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 66 - She had a choice.
Adrian Moore struggled to silence the traitorous voice inside his head.And so he merely kept driving until eventually he was nearing his apartment, deliberately slowing down to unsettle her before they even got to his house. He wanted to remind her about the time they’d spent together in this same apartment, all while she was hiding about her pregnancy from him.The problem was that it was also unsettling him, too.“What are you doing, Adrian?” She snapped out, as though she couldn’t bear it any longer. “Are you doing this on purpose? Do you intend to make me feel guiltier than I already do?”“Do you…?” He challenged, wishing that a part of him didn’t revel in the fact that his Liz was still as stubborn and quick-witted as ever. “Are you feeling guilty?”“What kind of question is that, Adrian? Of course I do. I never wanted you to find out like this. And I certainly never intended… what happened between us these past few days.”Any gnawing pain he’d began feeling towards her disappea
Last Updated : 2023-09-21The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 67 - "I made a mistake signing that contract.”
Liz Walters wanted to be sure first, to reassure herself first that their relation would become serious and that things would be alright between them before she would have eventually told him about her pregnancy. But fate had something else in play for her… Just when she’d thought of telling Adrian, of surprising him about her pregnancy news, he’d found out about it. And he didn’t look pleased at all. She opened her mouth to speak but the words got locked into her throat. She couldn’t utter a thing when a disturbing thought suddenly struck her mind – a doubt. Liz’s mind raced, leaving a track of fear in its wake. “Do you live here alone?” The question was out before she could bite it back, not helped by the way Adrian cast her a look over his shoulder but didn’t immediately answer. She followed him as he stepped through a hallway to the lightest, most expansive living room she had ever been in, sleek windows curving from one wall to the other, and from floor to ceiling. Then he
Last Updated : 2023-09-22The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 68 - It was little comfort.
“I thought things were now alright between us.” He said. His voice was barely above a whisper. “Why are you doing this?” And there was the truth, in those little words. Thought things were but not simply were. Even though she knew he was right, it still hurt. “When you made me sign that contract, you were selfish, and cruel. You only thought about you. You never thought about me.” Liz argued back. “You mean I was,” he corrected bitterly. “Because I needed a woman who could throw dust in my family’s eyes, and I chose you even though I knew that you would probably never have agreed to it had I not threaten you with the terms and conditions on that contract?” “So now, you do admit you were wrong. At first you were but then, I certainly don’t remember you strong-arming me into doing anything. In fact, I seem to recall I was doing it on my own free will. I thought it was daring and romantic.” His jaw clenched in a way that was achingly familiar, and Liz would have given anything to kno

“You still kept your pregnancy a secret from me,” he choked out at last, but at least he was directing his pain and rage towards her, rather than inward as he might have done during their contractual marriage.He might be mad at her, but he wasn’t shutting her out. Surely that had to be a start?“You didn’t tell me about your pregnancy. You had every opportunity to tell me. You didn’t. You deliberately kept it from me. I might have pushed you away, but you are still the one who left. What were you thinking when you found out that you were pregnant? You wanted to keep my unborn baby with you.”“It wasn’t like that and you know it. With what right was I supposed to stay back there when you pushed me away? I left for both our sakes, Adrian,” she repeated, her voice softer now that she could see he wasn’t going to argue with her.“I thought we both were going to start anew but then, I found out that I was pregnant with your child. The first thing I thought about was you. Trust me, Adrian.
Last Updated : 2023-09-24The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 70 - Disappointment and upset awaited him?
They were having a lovely evening together. One of the nicest evenings that Adrian could remember for a long time.“Do you remember that time we went on that walk down the canal towpath and you almost fell in the water because you were showing off?” She asked.Adrian laughed, nodding. “Yeah, I was such an idiot….trying to make you see how cool I was. We hadn’t been out for a walk since then, had we?”Liz shook her head, her eyes alight with mirth.“I can remember thinking what a good idea it would be to show you that I could balance my way across the towpath, show you that I wasn’t scared,” he went on, reminiscing on those memories they’d made back in New York when they were still getting to know each other.“You would have done it effortlessly if it hadn’t been for that goose scaring the living shit out of you!” She laughed. She couldn’t help it.It felt good to laugh with her… to reminisce.“That was stupid,” he rolled his eyes at her. “And I wasn’t scared of that goose. It just cam

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
