The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 1
Scene 1: Anita Baker's Graduation.Anita Baker, a 24-year-old woman, had just graduated from university. As the firstborn daughter, she was followed by five younger sisters. Her father worked as a banker, and her mother was a trader.Anita was fair-skinned and possessed a beautifully shaped figure with curvy hips. Unusually, among her sisters, she was the only one with a light complexion. The others were dark-skinned, with some having a fair brown complexion.Anita resembled her mother, but some would say she was even more beautiful. This resemblance, coupled with her fair skin, often led her father to accuse her mother of infidelity, doubting his paternity. Her mother always remained silent on the matter, reassuring Anita that she was indeed his child and to ignore his accusations. Mr. Baker had even threatened a paternity test, unable to reconcile Anita's appearance with that of her sisters.Her immediately younger sister, Flora, a 22-year-old dark-skinned beauty, harbored resentment

Scene 2: Benson Group - A New Era.In the Benson Group conference hall, Mr. Taiye Jackson sat in the front seat, presiding over a meeting with his board members from his other companies, all registered under his name.He spoke softly to his personal assistant, almost a whisper, "Introduce the new head to them now."The board members waited in the meeting hall to meet the newly appointed CEO. His name had been announced, but no staff member had yet seen him. Mr. Taiye Jackson was the former CEO; his late father, Mr. Benjamin Jackson, had established the Benson Group of companies. *Benjamin and Sons Group of Companies*, that is.They sat in the conference hall, anticipating the transfer of company ownership to Mr. Taiye's only son, Liam Jackson.Liam was rumored to be cold and aloof, and the workers suspected that his arrival as CEO would lead to significant changes. Some had heard he was arrogant, mean, and unappreciative. Nevertheless, he was hardworking and had a successful private bu

Scene 3: First Days and Dress Codes.Mr. John smiled and replied, "My daughter studied business administration at the University of Nigeria.""That's excellent. Please submit her CV when she's home. I'm sure we have vacancies for new bees like her. I'll look forward to seeing it," Mr. Taiye replied."Father!" Liam quickly cut him off, his frown deepening. "You can't just set me up like that."His father smiled. "I know, son. I was simply trying to compensate Mr. John Patrick for his dedication to the company over the past twenty years."Mr. John bowed slightly as he prepared to leave. "I'll take my leave now, boss. Thank you and congratulations again, Liam," he said, excusing himself.Liam sighed. He walked with his father to the front of the meeting hall, where they stood near the exit door. "Father, I don't appreciate what you just did. There are other ways to compensate Mr. John Patrick, not at my expense.""What do you mean, Liam? John has been a committed worker here. You wouldn't

Scene 4: Back Home - A House Divided.Anita returned home with her father and mother, who had come to her graduation. Her mother was beaming, but her father maintained his usual, stoic expression as he drove.He was proud that Anita hadn't let her beauty cloud her ambition, but he was still perplexed as to why she was the prettiest of all his daughters. Though his wife hadn't given him a son, he wasn't dwelling on it. Their customs allowed a woman to inherit her father's property, even if married, but the question of Anita's paternity lingered in his mind.He sighed as he drove closer to their home, which was only a short distance from the city.Arriving, he drove into their simple compound and parked. Their home was a modest bungalow: four bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and five toilets and bathrooms. Mr. Joshua Baker owned the house, having acquired it directly from the landowners. He sat in the car, while Anita and her mother got out. Anita's five sisters – Flora, Esther, Favo

Scene 5: Aftermath - Battles Within and Without.Mrs. Tonia smiled faintly at Anita, and Anita stepped aside so Glory could pass with the tray of soup. Anita entered the kitchen, not speaking to her mother, but her face held a sorrow that Mrs. Tonia understood all too well."Anita," Mrs. Tonia called softly."What is it, Mom?" Anita asked, walking to her side."I want you to know that your father really does love you, like the rest of your siblings. He isn't against your success," Mrs. Tonia said, holding Anita's hand."Hmph," Anita sighed. "I know, Mom, but I don't care. If Dad likes me, fine; if he doesn't, fine. I'll always see him as my father, and that's all.""Anita..." Mrs. Tonia started."Mom, where's the fufu?!" Flora interrupted, stepping into the kitchen. She glanced at Anita and walked to the kitchen cabinet. "Mom, why are you holding her hands and talking to her? Are you begging her for something?" Flora asked, crossing her arms."No, Flora, I'm just giving Anita some advi

Scene 6: Tensions and a Troubling Call.Mrs. Tonia didn't respond after Flora left the room. She sighed and sat beside Anita on the bed as Favour and Esther exited. "You shouldn't be harsh with your sister. Arguing wasn't necessary.""I know, Mom, but they disrespect me too much. They're getting out of hand," Anita replied."It's okay. I understand, but don't change because of them. Keep being my sweet, calm daughter," Mrs. Tonia advised."Okay, Mom," Anita sighed, staring at her mother.Glory walked up to sit on the bed. "I've got to go join your father. Glory, pack your bags and come join Anita here," Mrs. Tonia said."Okay, Mom," Glory replied, heading to the room she shared with Lisa. Flora was already there, arranging her clothes into the wardrobe, but she didn't say a word to Glory, who stepped in and carried her box of clothes out.Lisa sighed as she returned from the kitchen and found Flora in the room she previously shared with Glory. She didn't ask any questions. She also did

Scene 7: Dress Code Chaos at Benson Group & Family Concern at Home.Anita couldn't say anything after her mother walked back to their room. She sighed and glanced at Flora, who seemed worried, before walking back to sit on the couch."What do you think is the problem?" Esther asked Flora, but Flora shook her head. "I don't know, but I'm worried it's something serious."They sat waiting for their father or mother to emerge and tell them what was wrong.Anita sighed and went to her room. She didn't know what the problem was, but she suspected her mother would tell them, even if her father didn't want to. She'd noticed her father was already dressed for work before whatever news he received shook him. She prayed silently, "Please, don't let it be that my father has lost his job."Anita shook her head, feeling that her father's earlier outburst echoed in her mind, related to his work. She sat on her bed and started to type her application to the Benson Group – the one she'd intended to sen

Scene 8: First Impressions and Lunchtime Longing.Liam walked into his office and settled into his executive chair, swiveling it to survey his surroundings. A smile played on his lips as he rolled up his sleeves, ready to begin his workday. He leaned forward, switched on his computer, and waited for it to boot up so he could review the company's records.Liam ticked off the seconds as he waited. A knock sounded at the door. "Come in," he called.Margret entered, holding a file, and smiled faintly. She kept her gaze lowered, stopping in front of his desk."Yes… remind me of your name again?" Liam asked, looking up at her pretty, light-skinned face."Margret Jonathan," she said, her smile unwavering."Okay, Miss Margret, what can I do for you?" Liam asked, and she stepped closer."Sir, Mr. John Patrick brought this file this morning and asked me to give it to you," Margret said, meeting his gaze."Okay, just leave it there." Liam pointed to an empty space on his desk. Margret placed the

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

"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 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

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
