The CEO's Secret Arrangement Chapter 1: Not So Sweet Boss
It was a rainy Monday morning in bustling New York. Chloe was leaning on the coffee table, with distant thoughts, with her long legs crossed, waiting for the coffee to be ready. Wearing a black tube dress and high heels, she was internally getting ready for another busy week at Bailey's Industries. "So, what's wrong with you today? Overthinking again?" Brianna asked before she sat on a chair in front her friend."No... Hm... Maybe, yes." Chloe smoothed her long brown hair while she sat calmly. "I was thinking about my life. Nothing new.""Nothing new for sure!" Brianna mocked. "Oh, did I tell you the last news?""No, what is it?" Chloe got up and checked her clothes on the mirror. "Our handsome boss said he won't be attending the Opening of St. Clair Hospital in Chicago because he has a lot of business to deal with here. How come? He is the guest of honor!" Brianna sounded shocked."Really? I didn't know that. Did he tell you this?" Chloe was surprised."Not really. He was talki

"Good morning!" Brianna said, entering the Coffee Room on the next day. "I didn't know I would find you this early here today!"She washed her hands and glanced at Chloe, who was not answering her. "Are you ok?" Brianna asked worriedly."I'm fine." Chloe answered for the first time. "I just didn't sleep. That devil we call boss made me lose one night of sleep!"She had her head down on the table and an empty mug in her left hand. "Oh, really? So it's true what they say?" Brianna sounded interested."What are you talking about?" she turned her head into Brianna's direction."Our icy God… He was dumped by his fiancée!" "WHAT?" Chloe jumped off the chair, taken by surprise."Are you kidding, right?" the brunette was discredited. "How come?""You didn't know that? So why you didn't sleep at night?" Brianna became thoughtful."I'm going to present the meeting in 2 hours. To all the shareholders.""No way!" the blonde woman was very surprised. "I've never seen a PA presents this kind of m

Fired. That's the first thing that came out in her mind. After the mistake of talking about his fiancée yesterday, today was the last straw.Chloe was too confused. Many things happened at the same time, she couldn't handle it. She always worked hard to achieve her goals, to help her parents and to grow as a professional. However, at that moment, she was disappointed with herself. She could have done better.She allowed herself a stop at the Coffee Room to drink some water. Suddenly, she looked at the glass and gave a little smile, remembering her boss saying that she should keep a bottle of water on her desk. "Bossy" Chloe whispered, with a sad smile. "I'm gonna miss this place." She threw the disposable glass away as she walked out of the room. It was the time to visit the devil. Chloe knocked on the door twice. After his permission, she entered the room.On her way to Mr. Bailey's office, she decided she wouldn't let him see how much this situation affected her. So when she ente

When Chloe put her feet at the restaurant entrance, she was five minutes late. "Good evening. How can I help you, milady?" a handsome man, wearing a black suit asked her."Good evening. I have a reservation in the name of Evan Bailey." she said trying to sound calm.The man leaded the way to a private room, where her boss was waiting for her. At each step taken her nervousness was increasing."Good evening." she said shamefully."Good evening, Ms. Rodriguez." Mr. Bailey said while he stood up on his feet.He brazenly assessed the woman from head to toe, which made Chloe embarrassed.The maître of the restaurant pulled out the chair for her to sit."Oh, thank you!" Chloe simply said. Mr. Bailey took his seat as well.She felt like a fish out of the water. It was her first time at a fancy restaurant. She was used to attend middle class establishments, just like her parents' restaurant in New Jersey. "May I ask what this beautiful lady would like to order?" the maître asked, shamelessl

Walking on her way to the office, Chloe felt the icy morning air on her face, which made her feel alive. When she closed her eyes for a moment, she felt the taste of that kiss. The kiss that kept Chloe awake during all night. She was not sure about his true intentions. After one year working for him, that was the first time Mr. Bailey crossed the line. Did he do that just to push Chloe to accept the deal?How could she look at him from now on without thinking about those lips?Already inside the elevator, Chloe made the to-do list on her mind, as always. She decided she wouldn't think about what happened with Mr. Bailey last night. That was a misunderstanding. He was out of his mind for sure."Good morning!" Chloe said when she passed through the Coffee Room's door."What are you doing here?" Brianna asked with a surprised face."Lovely in the morning, huh?" the brunette mocked."No, you got it wrong! I'm sorry." Brianna was working on the coffee machine. "I just thought you would n

"Take it." Brianna gave a glass of water to Chloe and sat in front of her friend."Thanks" the brown-haired woman just said."What happened?" Brianna was worried. She had never seen her friend like that."I know why he's giving all my duties to you. He didn't give me a free day."After a long pause, Chloe looked at her friend. "It's punishment.""Punishment? How come?" Brianna looked confused."He offered me a deal… and I didn't accept it." Chloe had her head down, feeling embarrassed."What kind of deal, Chloe?"Brianna couldn't imagine what her friend was about to tell her next."He wants to marry me. It would be a one year contract marriage.""Oh, f**k! And in exchange?""One million dollars." Chloe simply said, looking at her friend.Brianna widened her eyes even more, as if it was possible. Her mouth was half-open in surprise."Insane!" that was the only word that came out of Brianna's mouth."Yeah, I know." Chloe said, sadly. "What kind of girl does he take me for?"After a few s

Two days since Mr. Bailey came to the office for the last time.During one entire year, Chloe had never seen Mr. Bailey miss a single day at work. Was he with his ex-fiancée? Chloe sighed heavily. That question was around her mind since Brianna told her Jill was back in town.Chloe was in the elevator with two other people, waiting for another workday to start.Suddenly the doors opened on the parking floor and she smelled that unique scent. When she lifted her head, there he was. Staring at her with that intimidating glance.All of a sudden she felt a shiver all over her body. Her senses were in alert. Chloe didn't know how much she had missed him until that moment. Mr. Bailey entered quietly.The elevator stopped at the third floor and the two people got out. Damn, she was alone with him in that metallic cubicle, Chloe thought. She couldn't even glance at him. Mr. Bailey was concentrated on his phone when the elevator suddenly stopped and had a blackout."Wh…at is it?" Chloe was c

"What's this, Chloe?" Mr. Bailey asked angrily.He was seated imposingly in his chair. His questioning eyes were on her.Chloe kept her expression indifferent, as if she was determined to do that. She was standing on her feet, in front of his desk."It's my resignation letter. I quit." She simply said, keeping her eyes on his."Are you f**king kidding me?" he was really mad. Mr. Bailey got up and started to walk around the room. Chloe was quiet, still in the same position."Why?" he had a dry tone. "Who do you think you are?"Suddenly Mr. Bailey was right behind her, talking low in her ear. "I won't let you quit." He was clearly trying to control his anger. Chloe trembled."I don't wanna work here anymore." she tried to remain confident."Are you doing it because of the proposal?" he glanced at her.Mr. Bailey was now in front of her, holding her shoulders. As she didn't answered his question, he shook her and asked again:"Why don't you just accept it? It's easy money! After one yea

Evan sighed heavily and opened the file.'Dear Evan, I'm sorry for everything I've been putting you through. I'm sorry for the photos in the magazine. I loved you at some point, but I was so blinded by fame, power and money that I couldn't realize in time how happy I could be with you. I am sending this email to inform you that I am leaving. I will go to Paris to resume my modeling career. Be happy. Maybe someday we'll meet there. Love, Jill.'Evan leaned back in his chair and stared at the computer screen. For the first time after all the mess Jill created in his life, he felt nothing for her. That rage that burned his body and made him think of all the times she made a fool of him was gone.That wedding plan was designed to play in Jill's face that he could be happy without her. However, at no time Evan really believed he could be truly happy.And there he was, smiling like a lover and feeling his heart warmed because the reason for his happiness was lying on his bed.Three months w

"The baby is still alive, Mr. Bailey. However, his heartbeat is very slow. Ms. Rodriguez needs to take absolute rest for a period to be able to keep the child. In addition, I will keep her here for a few days to ensure recovery.""His heartbeat? Do you mean it's a boy?" Evan asked with eyes shining."Yes, sir. It's a little warrior." the doctor responded with a weak smile. "Congratulations!""Can I see her now?""Yes. She is asleep due to the medication, but she will wake up soon. Please avoid strong emotions. The baby's life is still at risk.""Thank you, doctor."Evan headed for the room where Chloe was, feeling his heart explode with joy. He managed to save his small family after all.He watched her sleep and ran his hand over her face, through her hair, and finally over her belly."We did it, buddy." Evan said with teary eyes. "So small but so brave. You'll be just like your mother. Thank you for not giving up on us, son. I promise you that I will protect you as long as I live. Be
The CEO's Secret Arrangement Chapter 58: Rescue Operation
Everyone was ready on time. The working day at the port was over, there was no one else in the place.The warehouse was no longer used for port operations, so it was far away from the others.In the distance, Evan could see three black SUV's, which were also part of his team, to assist in case of escape.He appeared to be calm, but inside his blood bubbled in his veins, burning every part of his body. If Victor had harmed his baby and his wife, he would pay with his own life.Josh approached Evan and handed him a gun."If necessary, you know what to do, sir."Evan glanced at him and nodded. It was show time."We have six men inside and ten men outside. Be fast and accurate. Don't hesitate to shoot." Josh passed on the information to the team. "Mr. Bailey, you will enter the warehouse with team two. Please, as soon as you are with Ms. Rodriguez, get out of there immediately.""Deal." Evan just said.The teams took their positions and everything happened very quickly. When Evan realized

"Why? Were you expecting someone in particular?" Victor laughed evilly. "Perhaps a lost princess?""What did you do?" Evan asked angrily."I warned you to protect her… But you didn't care, did you?""Don't play with me, Victor. I'll destroy you.""Try it, Evan. Just try it. You will never see that b*tch again!""What do you want?""I want everything that is yours. I want to see you crawling for mercy." Victor said with hate. "You know, Evan, you inherited an empire. You never knew what it's like to build something from scratch. There is a lot of pain and suffering. I have dedicated myself, my whole life, to build what I have, so as not to be in need. Suddenly a boy appears, thinking that he will take everything from me. You are a boast who never valued what you have! I want to see you suffer." "Your problem is with me. We will solve this from man to man." Evan stated dryly. "Release Chloe now.""Do you think I'm stupid? I'm not a boy like you!" he mocked. "Give up on the millionaire

Evan ran back to the restaurant. Maybe she was still around. He needed to act fast."Evan?" Jane found him at the front door. "What happened? Why are you running?""I'm sorry, Jane." he said with regret."Why? What happened?" she asked distressed."It's Chloe." he felt a twinge in his heart. "I think she was taken.""Taken?" "I'm ready, let's go." Carlos said as he walked towards them. "What's wrong? Why are you pale?" he looked at his wife."Mr. Rodriguez, please. I need to know if there is any cameras here.""What's going on? Yes, we have cameras! They stay connected in my office." Carlos was confused."I need to check them out now." Evan tried to stay calm."Why do you think she was taken?" Jane asked in a choked voice."Because I found this on the parking lot floor, next to my car." Evan showed the shoe."I can't believe it! No! Is it a joke? Where's my daughter?" Jane screamed as tears welled up in her eyes. "Who would do that?""That's what I'm going to find out." Evan stated co

That was the worst part of the pregnancy, Chloe thought. Having to go to the bathroom every five minutes made her nervous. Not to mention morning sickness.However, the feeling of carrying a life was wonderful. Two hearts beating within one body. Motherhood was really something divine.After touching up her makeup, Chloe came out of the bathroom feeling more confident. They were finally going to form a real family! Chloe even imagined Evan buying baby stuff. She smiled at that thought.Before she reached the bar to find Evan, a waiter approached her and said."Excuse me, Ms. Rodriguez. Mr. Bailey asked to inform that he is waiting for you in the parking lot."Chloe frowned. Maybe it was better to have a little privacy to tell Evan the truth.Chloe thanked the waiter and headed for the parking lot right away.When she approached Evan's car, he was not there. Chloe shivered when she felt a strange sensation.She looked around and when her eyes returned to the car, there was a man stand

"I-I'm not hiding anything, Evan." she stated in a shaky voice."I see. You still don't trust me." he dropped her hand abruptly. When he spoke again, his voice was cold and distant. "Good night, Chloe."She closed the door and he drove away immediately.Chloe wrapped her arms around her body to keep herself warm. Once again, she had ruined everything.After a few days, the restaurant's grand opening had finally arrived. Jane and Carlos couldn't be happier and more euphoric, while Chloe smiled on the outside and slowly died on the inside.Evan never got in touch after that dinner. Had he decided to move on without her? Would he show up that night?The thought of seeing him warmed her heart and made her a little more excited, so she decided to go to the salon and buy a special outfit for that occasion. Perhaps it was the perfect time to tell Evan the truth.Chloe decided she was going to face her fears. She couldn't take any more suffering in advance. She missed him a lot.Evan was
The CEO's Secret Arrangement Chapter 53: You Are The One That I Want
Evan was pissed off. He didn't know if his anger was because he found out someone was trying to separate him from Chloe or if it was because Chloe didn't believe his words at all. She was the one who came closest to his heart, so she should know him better. Why all that insecurity? Just because he was a billionaire guy?If money meant anything, Evan would already have a big and happy family.Why didn't she give herself a chance to be happy? Wasn't it clear enough that he was willing to try?Maybe she didn't really love him. Maybe it was just a physical attraction.Evan snorted and hit the steering wheel angrily. She drove him crazy in so many ways. "What a stubborn girl!" he said.About who sent those photos to the magazine, Evan had a hunch, but he was going to check with the detective first. With that thought in mind, he accelerated the car to get to his apartment as quickly as possible.A couple of days passed and Chloe felt increasingly depressed. She couldn't understand how she

After the shock of seeing Evan standing in front of her, Jane didn't know how to act. Would Chloe like to see him? After all the stress that day brought, Jane feared that that visit would not do her daughter any good."Evan, Chloe is resting.""Don't lie to me, Jane. I know she was in the hospital." he was impatient.The middle-aged woman widened her eyes. "H-How do you know?" her voice faltered."It doesn't matter. I just wanna see her. May I come in?"Jane was speechless with Evan's intimidating stance. After everything he had done for that family, she couldn't deny such a request."Yes, please." He entered the house, feeling anxious. Without saying another word, Jane guided him to her daughter's room. After knocking on the door, she heard Chloe's weak voice."Come in."Jane opened the door cautiously, afraid of her daughter's reaction. "Someone is here to visit you, darling."Chloe slowly opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the two people standing at the door. She h
