The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 119: Shocking embarrassment
Anita arrives home, and gratefully, she doesn't meet anyone else at home. She unlocks their house gate and walks in as she goes into the house.She opens her room door and pushes it, and she drops her handbag on her bed and sits, crying.She sniffs and remembers she didn't even take the envelope along with her. She cannot work for Alfred as she doesn't like how Alfred's eyes rake her body, and Liam, she doubts he will be bothered about her not coming to his company again.His father clearly warned her that he doesn't want to see her around his son again, and she stares around her room, knowing that she cannot stay back as her mother will ask her questions as to why she stopped working with the Benson, and she fears they will trace her and come to her family's house to find her.She feels Liam will come searching for her. The way he kissed her wasn't like he was lusting after her. She feels his father lied about Liam not acknowledging his feelings for her, and she remembers he had told
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 120: Mother's advise
Mrs. Bianca lets go of Temisa, standing in her room, and she questions."Tell me the truth, Temisa. Is what your father is saying true? You don't need to cry for that stupid man who doesn't even want to marry you. Tell me about Alfred. Does he like you? How did you end up in his bed?""Mother..." Temisa loses the words to speak, and she stares at her mother in shock, wanting to leave her mother's room."Don't walk out on me, Temisa. I'm still talking to you.""Mom.. I don't know what happened.. I cannot explain it," Temisa sobs."What do you mean you don't know? Didn't he sleep with you, yes or no?""He did, mother. I was foolish to have fallen so cheap for him," Temisa cries as she clutches her head and shakes it.She loves Liam, but she really fell so cheap for Alfred, and now, it's all complicated, and she knows the marriage is already canceled. Good thing the marriage hasn't been announced."Don't say that. Isn't it Alfred that owns the Blues hotels and companies? I used to hear o
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 121: Escaping from her home
Anita wakes up by 4 am, seeing it's the perfect time to start preparing for her travel. She rushes into her bathroom and starts taking her bath, and by 5:30 am, she's already done, dressing up in her blue vest and knee-length black skirt.She doesn't want her mother to suspect that she's no longer working for the Benson Group, so she dresses up like she's going to work.She walks to her room mirror and combs her long blonde hair, packing it into a bun, and she applies a little lip gloss on her thin red lips.She wears her earrings and finally walks to her bed, carrying her phone and debit card, ensuring all her things are intact. She steps out and meets her mother in the corridor."Anita, this one you're up this early, seems you got a warning yesterday for arriving late?""Good morning, mom. It's already 6 am, and work resumes by 7 am for all staff, and 8 am for clients to be attended to.""You're right, but wait, let me quickly make your tea, and I want to discuss something with you.
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 122: Gets dramatic
Liam is quiet, and his fist tightens as he never knew about the hidden cameras, meaning those silly security men actually watched him making love to Anita."Liam. No wonder you were happy that Friday. But why would you send her away and allow us to go visit the Patricks? You should have told me, and we would have gone to see her family instead," Mrs. Juliet blames her husband."No!" Mr. Taiye stands up."Liam had told me, severally, he doesn't like his secretary. I asked him before discussing with Mr. Tunji about her transfer, and Liam clearly denied ever loving her nor liking her. He's here, you can ask him. And son, I will only give you today's grace. Tomorrow, you are to go to the company as you already signed your position. Don't force me to take a drastic decision on you.""You won't do that, honey!" Mrs. Juliet interferes."Then warn your son!" Mr. Taiye warns and walks out angrily, handing over his suit to Silas, who escorts him to his black Mercedes-Benz parked in the Jacksons
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 123: Shocking visit
"No! You're lying to me. Anita left home this morning. I prepared her tea, and she wore this exact blue top you're wearing. I saw her, and she left for work. Where's my daughter?" Mrs. Tonia screams and holds Temisa, who stares at her helplessly, and just then, Liam approaches them, and Flora immediately recognizes the handsome tall man standing in front of them."Mom, that's her boss I told you about," Flora points to Liam, who approaches and stares from Mrs. Tonia to Temisa, and he slightly bows to greet Mrs. Tonia in a respectful manner."Good evening, ma."Mrs. Tonia feels her breath seize, with the type of aura surrounding the handsome man as their outside's bright bulbs are fully on, making her see him clearly."Yes, good evening. What do you want, and how can we help you?" Mrs. Tonia completely ignores Temisa as she stares at the handsome dark man in front of her.He looks well-mannered and too handsome with his short beard, and Liam clears his throat and speaks to her."Is Ani
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 124: In the village
Anita arrives at her maternal home in the evening. She heard before that her father also built and owned a house in the same village as her mother, but she doesn't know his house and doesn't want to go there either,.She knows someone might recognize her there, or the bank people might come there to claim it as part of their payment. Worst of all, her father's brothers, who have been disturbing her father to marry another wife, might spot her there, and she doesn't have the keys with her either.She drops down from the bike carefully in front of her late grandfather's house and pays the bike rider his fees, then drags her box along with her towards the house.The house looks old and worn out, and she knows the family has abandoned it. Her mother's brother is rich, and she wonders why he doesn't renovate the village house either.She walks to the front of the house, drops her box, and stares at the door, seeing that it is locked."Oh, where will I get the keys now to unlock it?" Anita
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 125: In the village 2
Taking off her clothes and inner wear, Anita walks into the bathroom to take a quick bath. She thinks of her mother, who had told her that she should arrive on time and take her to the hospital to flush her womb, and she sighs. Also, she thinks of her sisters and knows they will be seriously worried about her or searching for her, and she frowns. Anita doesn't want to contact her family when she switched off her phone. Now, she's feeling the urge to switch it on and contact them, to tell them that she's alright and not coming back home. But she remembers she already removed her SIM card and bought a new one, which she placed in her phone when she arrived at the village square, and saw a new SIM card seller. Anita thinks it's best her family continue with their lives, as she doesn't want to add to the existing problem. She misses them and knows they will too, but she cannot face Temisa, let alone Liam and Alfred's disturbances. She remembers her affairs with Liam - how he kiss
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 126: Family worries
Mrs. Tonia sits in the dining room with her four daughters."Has Anita's number connected?" she asks Flora, who keeps dialing Anita's number."No, Mom. It says switched off.""Hmph," Mrs. Tonia sighs and stares at the soup getting cold on the dining table."We cannot continue waiting for Anita. When she gets home, she can eat hers. Let's eat."The dining table falls silent, as it is almost 10 PM. Just then, Flora's phone rings out as she keeps it on the dining table in front of her. Flora hurriedly drops the bowl of water she was about to use to wash her hands, stares at the caller ID, and frowns a little, thinking it might be Anita."Who's that?" Mrs. Tonia asks hopefully."It's her boss, Mom," Flora frowns as she stares at the call that ends without her picking it up."Maybe he's calling to find out if Anita has arrived. Pick it up first," Mrs. Tonia instructs, and Flora finally picks up the call."Hello," Flora speaks first."Hi, it's me, Liam," Liam's voice strikes her eardrum, an

The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 138: Happy ending
Liam doesn't say anything as he stands watching the two friends reunite and forgive each other. They finally stand up, and Temisa walks over to see the twin babies in their little baby bed in the living room."Wow, they look so much like Liam, but my baby resembles me more than Alfred," Temisa says, while Anita only smiles at her."It's all good, girlfriend. I wish you both a happy married life, and I will be your bridesmaid on your wedding day," Temisa proposes, and Anita shakes her head."Flora already filled that position. You will only join the train.""Okay, dear. I have to be on my way now. You know I just darted out from the house as soon as Alfred told me about your babies and that you're here with Liam. Take good care of yourself, girlfriend, as you look slim," Temisa says, while Anita nods to her."I will. Let me escort you," Anita feels all the previous heaviness in her heart disappear, and she walks out of the mansion with Temisa.They walk to the garage where Temisa's car
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 137: Reuniting with her friend
Mrs. Tonia quickly greets Mrs. Juliet, "Good evening, ma'am.""Yes, welcome. Let's go in first," Mrs. Juliet ushers them into her living room. Just then, Mr. Taiye walks in too and sees the visitors, noticing Liam carefully carrying a baby in his arms. He recognizes the familiar lady as his son's secretary and immediately knows the babies are the result of the encounter they had in Liam's office."Good evening, Father," Liam happily greets his father. Mr. Taiye nods to all their greetings, while Anita nervously stares downward, feeling uncomfortable, remembering Mr. Taiye had warned her to stay clear of his son and never show her face in his company again."Mother, here are your grandkids," Liam walks over to meet his mother, who is sitting on the living room couch. He carefully places the baby boy in her arms, and Mrs. Juliet is still in shock as Liam never told her his secretary was pregnant or that he was bringing his babies home.Mr. Taiye is the most confused as he remembers he w
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 136: Bringing her home
"Are you married?" Liam finally asks, sounding hurt. Anita shakes her head and replies, "No.""Then how come the babies?" Liam asks as he finally saunters over to meet her. He has missed her so much, and he doesn't look himself because of her."Anita," Liam finally approaches her, and she turns to face him, and he sees she's crying."I'm sorry," Anita cries, and Liam crosses the thin line between them and hugs her warmly."It's okay. I've missed you. I do love you," Liam comforts her in a hug, hoping whoever got her pregnant or married her doesn't step in and catch him hugging his wife.Anita wants to pull away from Liam as she inhales his cologne, realizing she's crying into his chest, but Liam hugs her tighter and raises her chin to face him."Don't you miss me?" he asks, and Anita sniffs."I do," she replies."And you don't want to kiss me or welcome me?"Anita finally raises her head properly and looks up at Liam's face.He looks sick too, so unlike him, and his beard is overgrown
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 135: Found her 2
Anita doesn't say anything as she watches her mother dress up in a green gown while she breastfeeds her little daughter, who sucks a lot, wanting to drain the remaining energy she has left."I have to go out now and buy everything we will need to eat tonight. There's no food in the kitchen, and I don't want to disturb Mama and her in-law.""Okay, Mom."Anita watches her mother walk out of the room. She carefully places her little girl down and walks to her phone to see all the text messages Liam sent to her. Her heartbeat increases as she unlocks her phone screen.She sees a lot of texts from him and love emojis and she smiles, staggering backward to sit on her bed to read his texts."What happened to you? Your mom said you got discharged from the hospital. Are you alright now? Not to worry, I will be coming down to your village to see you. But why did you shut us all out? I have really missed you. Honestly, I cannot stop thinking about the love we made, and I'm glad your mom finally
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 134: Mother's scolding
Mrs. Tonia pulls away from the mother-to-daughter hug and stares at Anita's face."It's okay, stop crying. Why did you run away, and who did you sleep with?" Mrs. Tonia questions as she walks to look at her grandkids.She stares at the two cute babies who are also awake and staring at her. She gasps in surprise as she isn't mistaken—the babies look so much like Liam, the CEO of Benson Group. She stares back at Anita, who’s also looking at her, and then back at the twin babies in their baby bed."Anita, who got you pregnant?" Mrs. Tonia asks again while Alice finally walks over to hold her hand."We can discuss this at home. Let it rest while we leave the hospital first."Mrs. Tonia sighs and looks from Alice to Anita and back to her grandbabies.They're so cute and fair, and now she knows why the CEO has kept on asking her about Anita.So he's the one that got her daughter pregnant and slept with Anita the very day he delayed her at work and made her return home late.Mrs. Tonia tries
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 133: Found her
Anita wakes up that evening with a light headache. She sits up in her bed and eats the dinner Alice brought for her from home."How are you feeling now? You need to breastfeed your babies and not starve them," Alice says. Anita finally looks at them as her eyes clear, and seeing one of them crying, Alice speaks to her."She's a girl, while the calm one here is a boy." Alice hands over the baby girl to Anita, who stares at her beautiful daughter's face.Her baby girl looks so much like Liam; even though she's very fair like her, her baby's short curly hair and round cute face resemble Liam so much. Anita's heart skips a beat as she keeps staring at her baby instead of breastfeeding her."Why are you still staring at her? Give her your breast milk" Alice finally yells at Anita, snapping her out of her daze. Anita opens up her shirt and breastfeeds her baby.The little girl in her arms stops crying after a while as she sucks on her breast. As if the second baby is aware, he resumes cryin
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 132: Finally finds out
"I know," Liam replies and smiles back."But I still miss Anita and want to see her account," he says."Tell me the truth, boss. Do you just miss Anita, or are you in love with her and have a crush on her?" Temisa asks, and she sees Liam smile, which already answers her question."Just send me Anita's profile name. Let me search for her first.""Okay, I will," Temisa replies as she sits up properly."What about Alfred?" Liam finally asks her as he sees her sit up."He's not yet home. You know he runs the hotels and club too, cheating on me," Temisa pouts."He's not. He complains about you starving him," Liam tells her, and Temisa gasps."He said that? I know Alfred is so shameless," Temisa replies, and just then Alfred returns and walks into their room, as they both use one room together. Even though the room was his before she moved into his family house. His mother had insisted they must share a room together as a couple, and he clearly heard her call him a shameless man."Who are y
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 131: Mother's shock
The line goes still for a while."Which sister are you talking about?" Barrister Jude asks."Oh, I just remembered I have her number, as her husband's case is with me. Mrs. Tonia, of course. Don't you know your sister again?" Mr. Collins questions."Oh, you mean her daughter is in the village? Which one?""I don't know her name yet, but she's white and very fair. She just gave birth to twins, making your sister a grandmother now.""Oh! You mean Anita?" Barrister Jude asks."Is that her name? Well, I don't know. I'm just seeing her for the first time now. Let me contact your sister then. I forgot I recently got her number due to her husband's case."Mr. Collins quickly ends the call, not giving Barrister Jude any more chances to question him. He cannot believe the silly man didn't want to help his in-law because of some past silly stories. He had to pity Mrs. Tonia and helped her case as he used to admire her when she hadn't married Mr. Joshua."Hello," Mr. Collins stands outside the h
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 130: New babies
Liam stares downward, not wanting to meet Mrs. Tonia's angry gaze, as he suspects she knows about the night he made love to Anita, but probably doesn't know who exactly slept with her.Was that why Anita left? What's really going on? he wonders."Actually, ma'am, I heard from her friend that she's going through a lot, and I don't know if I can help, but perhaps that will make her return.""Help with what? Just leave!" Mrs. Tonia shuts her door on Liam, not giving him a chance to speak.Did Anita's boss force himself on her? Mrs. Tonia wonders as she walks back to her parlor.Staring at the man, she sees him as a calm person with good moral upbringing, but is he the one that slept with her daughter and also bit and sucked on Anita's neck?If only Anita had told her the truth before she left, she wouldn't be rude to him, but she cannot help it. She behaves rudely because she misses her daughter so much.Liam leaves the building and walks back to his car.He knows her mother suspects him
