All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride]: Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

ChristianIt irks me out when I read Thea's text. This woman has gotten no peace at all. I can already assume the pressure of working in New York but she has the freaking energy to think about all this. Well, I never expected her to be professional enough. I could get a better brand ambassador for our brand if she didn't use her husband's recommendation.I almost cringed at the way she presented herself in the jewellery shoot. Those were not at all suitable for our brand. However, Albert, being a whole pervert approved that. What can I even expect? I was already struggling with work after getting back to the office. If I don't sleep tonight either, I'm gonna start having hallucinations from the next day. But she had to ruin my day with this fucking text. Insecurity at its peak.I write a text back, "why don't we just make an agreement again? For the next four days, let's not talk about this and mind our own business. You're free to do anything you want after four days. You will stil

Ivanna"Mama!" Chrissie's soft tone hits my ear and I feel her moving. I immediately wake up and look over at her.My hand is still placed on her stomach. She has fallen back to sleep again. I just smile at her lovingly. She calls me like this almost a few times every night and I don't mind at all. In fact, it makes me feel better. As I strive to push my body back, I feel pain all over my back due to bending down like that. I stretch my body and put on the sheets neatly, covering her body. Nuzzling her hair, I place a kiss on her forehead. Looking up, I see the time. It's 3:20 in the morning. I stand on my feet to stretch my body properly and turn to walk a bit. Just then, my eyes widen at the sight of Christian sleeping behind on the couch.When did he come? Is he really here or am I just seeing stupid stuff after waking up at this hour?I walk towards him. The cabin has only one light turned on in one corner and I can clearly see his face through it. He's rubbing his arms while b

ChristianI reach the location Lauren sent to me and meet the officer in charge. "It would be great if his mother was here. We only allow the guardian. Even though Mrs Emily isn't his legal guardian", the officer says."There's no option left anyway", I say, walking near him through the corridor. "You think you can handle him?" He asks."I sure hope so", I chuckle."He's been screaming all the time. Our team is really scared of him by the way", he laughs."Kid has got some major anger issues already", I laugh back."What can we expect when he's brought up by a criminal?" The officer sighs. "All the best"He opens the door of a small cabin for me and walks away. I surge inside, tucking my hands into my pocket. That eight-year-old kid is sitting at the edge of the small bed, dangling his legs. There's a cartoon show screening on the television but his eyes are darting at the ground. He has curled up his face. "Hey, buddy!" I lean against the wall, crossing my arms.He immediately lo

Kane"New York is insane", Emily exclaims, slumping onto the bed and breathing heavily."I told you we can hang out tomorrow. You look tired as hell", I shrug, getting a water bottle from the fridge. "Two days aren't enough to hang out. Are they?" She groans. "That's why it's a mini vacation, Mrs Wife", I kneel on the bed near her. "Come on. Have some water"She raises her hand while lying on her back. I grab it to support her in getting up. "So, are you done with your presentation today? Because there's no way you're running back to work from tomorrow. This is the first time I have been to New York"She takes the glass from me and sips it. "But guess what. I wasn't the one to be so excited to come here. You were. But you were so boring the whole evening, Kane", she rolls her eyes. "As if I dragged you here deliberately""Nothing like that", I laugh slowly and tuck her locks behind her ear. I couldn't focus on anything after talking to Christian. He said Samuel is in Texas, under

ChristianI clench my jaw and click my tongue against my cheek walls, inhaling deeply. Ivanna says I often do this when I'm controlling my anger. Why am I thinking about her right now? Because she's never out of my head. But I want her to stay out of my head from now to afterwards. Which I know is next to impossible. I hear the clicking sound of heels against the floor as Thea walks towards me. "It was not exactly a surprise to me", I say in a pressed tone and look up. She crosses her arms, stops by the desk and smirks. "You were expecting me?" She whispers, dancing her eyebrows."Yes. Because I'm compelled to expect you over here", I say. "But not so fast. Of course""Well—" she lets out a deep sigh and walks towards me. Leaning back to the desk, she scoots over the desk, hell closer to me. She crosses her legs, brushing against my thigh and slides her hand around my neck.I gulp down. Again. I roll my eyes. I inhale deeply. I press my lips tighter. Only to control my frustratio
