The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 71 - Late for dinner!
Going through the entire presentation for the AI development project had taking every bit of the nine hours at the office Liz had allocated. Checking and double-checking geographical surveys, evaluating this new technology impact and recalculating estimated financial budget to ensure everything was right – it all took time.In the end, though, she knew the staffs responsible for this project were ready.The investor would actually be at the meeting, and she was a little worried about that. After what happened last time with his associates who’d come to seal the deal, it would be the first time that she’d be meeting the investor himself.She’d heard he was a real hard-ass about cost-savings, but the solutions she and her team had proposed were the right ones, so were the terms and conditions mentioned on the contract. Maybe not the cheapest solutions and ideas, but her team clearly agreed they had identified the best options.Rolling up the final set of plans, she tucked them into the

Liz Walters suppressed the urge to apologize at the last second. Instead, she ground out. “You make it impossible for me to be otherwise.”“I push you to be better, to anticipate. What you do, or fail to do, is on your shoulders. Not mine.”A thread of hurt wove through the fabric of her emotions, maliciously eating a hole of her self-righteous anger. She clung to that anger, though, refusing to yield. He wanted to goad a response from her, and she wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction.Snapping her napkin out and laying across her lap before the waiter had a chance, she glared across the table. “You taught me to have broad shoulders.”He paused, his glass halfway to his lips, and waited.Liz shrugged. “Broad shoulders were the only way I could ensure I had plenty of room to carry the disappointment you constantly heaped on me.”Mr. Walters’s eyes hardened dangerously.Bracing herself, she waited.His gaze shifted when the waiter appeared at her shoulder and asked for her drink or

The moment Adrian saw Liz when he sneaked into her bedroom; he knew something was wrong, seriously wrong. It wasn’t just the frown on her face or the dark circles under her eyes or the streaks on her cheeks that told of recently shed tears.The spoon and half gallon of ice-cream in her hand, and the big glass of water sitting beside her on her bedside table said a whole lot, too.He’d come right after he’d gotten her text message. She’d left the main door open for him.Seeing her in such a wretched state, his stomach dropped and he went right to her, taking the ice-cream out of her hands and pulling her into his arms. He had an idea why she was so upset – her grandpa.He knew that she had a dinner meeting with him and seeing how her grandpa has recently been pretty pissed off and ignoring her, anyone could have guessed that dinner didn’t end well.He didn’t say anything, and when she opened her mouth to speak, he stopped her with a kiss.She dropped the spoon to the floor with a clatt

Liz Walters’ mood had definitely lifted during their amazing, powerful love-making. But afterward, she couldn’t prevent that mix of sadness, rage and disappointment she’d been feeling much of the day from creeping back in and affecting her mood.While Adrian showered, she went into the kitchen and got out some stuffs to make them some dinner, going over everything in her mind one more time. There was no one around at this time of the night. It was way past midnight and they hadn’t eaten anything yet.By the time she’d gotten to the point of making them some salad, she was angry enough again that she was assassinating the head of the lettuce with a butcher knife.“Whoa, there,” Adrian exclaimed as he entered the kitchen, towering off his hair. She lost herself for a moment, admiring those flexing muscles of his arms. God, she would never get tired of staring at this man.“I don’t think that’s gonna do anything to help cool you down.” He said.She got the joke but couldn’t manage much m

“Liz,” her grandma stood in the doorway of her bedroom. “What’s the matter, my child? Why do you look so upset lately? You didn’t go at work today?”The worried-looking expression on her grandma’s face made her sad. She closed the short distance and held her hand. Gently pulling her toward her bed, Liz sat her down on the edge of it before taking a seat beside her. “Grandma, I need to tell you something.”“What is it about? Tell me,” the old woman softly said as she squeezed Liz’s hands reassuringly in hers.“I’m – I’m pregnant.” Liz hesitated for a moment, fearing her response.She closed her eyes and waited, too afraid to look at her grandma’s reaction.Her heart pounded anxiously, her chest heaving and her breath uneven. She felt a lump forming in the back of her throat when her grandma’s hands slipped from over hers. She mustered up some courage and opened her eyes to look at her.Her grandma was frozen in shock, staring into space but with the lines that had formed across her for
Last Updated : 2023-09-29The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 76 - "I've fixed your marriage somewhere else.”
Liz Walters hurried downstairs as cautiously as she was able but she was late. The main door was wide opened – her grandpa had opened the door for Adrian.Her heart began racing as she begged her legs to descend the stairs. Slowly, she neared the last step and watched as Adrian’s face came into view. He looked traumatized but kept his face blank – void of any emotions but Liz could tell just by looking at his eyes.Their eyes met from across over her grandpa’s shoulders.“Yes?” Her grandpa asked. His posture was stiff as though he was more angry than surprised to see Adrian standing at his doorstep. He knew, Liz realized.Her grandpa knew that something was going on between them otherwise he would have never reacted this way seeing a mere employee at his house.But, Adrian wasn’t a mere employee. She thought to herself, gulping.He was her lover. She’d announced that he’s her lover at the bar that night and all the staffs had been whispering among themselves. It was no surprise at all
Last Updated : 2023-09-29The CEO's Love Conquest Chapter 77 - "Your grand-daughter is pregnant.”
“Don’t you realize what you’ve done, and what you’re on the verge of throwing away? If I ever had a daughter and made her feel half as crappy about herself as you do, or ever gave one tiny hint that I wasn’t overjoyed to have been blessed with my child’s presence in my life – no matter what their sex – I’d go right out and jump off a bridge.” Adrian ground out.He was breathing hard, feeling the heat in his face, and glowering at the older man, so it took a second before he heard the clapping. Casting a quick glance at Liz’s grandmother, he saw her applauding and nodding in agreement.As for Mr. Walters, he was so red in the face he looked like his head was about to pop off. His mouth kept jerking, and his head shaking, like he was forming an entire count of scathing retorts, but couldn’t come up with just the right one to lead off the assault.Liz was watching in silence, tears streaming down her face.And Adrian had just had enough. He’d kept quiet this whole time believing it would

Liz Walters couldn’t control her tears. She didn’t want Adrian to prove his love for her. He’d proven himself enough.Still, she could sense the conflict building between her grandpa and Adrian. None of them would accept defeat this readily. If her grandpa was arrogant, Adrian was stead-fast. And once Adrian had been challenged, there would be no going back unless her grandpa…But that was impossible knowing his nature…“Fine, I accept your love,” her grandpa declared, meeting her eyes.Liz was shocked, totally speechless seeing the old man stepping back.“But,” he held out a hand, palm out.She held her breath in anticipation. She knew this was coming.“If I ever find out that he made you cry or hurt you, I will see to it that he doesn’t get to see the morning sun the very next day.” Her grandpa warned both of them.A short laugh escaped her mouth. She couldn’t help it. She knew that day would never come because she has faith in Adrian. There won’t be a repeat of the past ever again.

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
