All Chapters of The CEO's Ten Million Dollar Wife: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

No matter how hard she convinces herself Lucien is no longer interested in Ellen, her heart still feels heavy. And just like her dragging steps as she came out of the service elevator to transfer to the penthouse elevator, she feels like weighing a ton. All her limbs feel heavy.She just sparsely look around, checking the surroundings as she waited for the elevator to open after she scanned her card. She feels like burying herself in the deepest part of her bed to have the serenity she needed. But she doubts if she ever finds one until Lucien gets home. Him, being with Ellen doesn't suit her gut. Still lost in thoughts, she was unaware of the floor indicated on the screen and when the elevator opens.Snapping from her trance, she was startled by the intense eyes staring at her. The pair of piercing eyes, Lucien Wright owns. Surprised to see him, she just stares at him without noticing she remains unmoving from her spot."Come in, Zia. Lucy is already waitin

"That was savage" Jason mumbles in utter disbelief. Amusement laces his voice as he turns to Eve with a smile."Let's see what that scheming bitch will do against Samantha Wright" Eve raves amusedly. "She was nowhere close compared to the bitchiness of Miss Wright" Emily added, chuckling."But what if it's true? That the CEO has that problem?" Jason curiously asks."It's none of anyone's business. We all have struggles and though his life is in the limelight, he still deserves privacy. We don't know what he had gone through. The medical institution should investigate why his result was posted online and not securely kept. The CEO could sue them for the leak of pertinent documents. Whoever posts the result must be sued for breaching the CEO's privacy" Eve seriously stated."This is the downside of being famous. Even your privacy is at stake. People will find something to tarnish your good name" Emily shrugs."I'm curious about the CEO's reaction" J

Staring, she remains to wait for him to continue. "I don't know if it's love, Zia...I don't know I'm capable of such... I am with Ellen for years but I can't say I love her... She was just there beside me, but it doesn't bother me whether she was around or not. And I fear I will do the same with you" he added, sounding so conflicted."I was desperate to find an answer to my dilemma and I don't want to use you as I did to Ellen. You are...you are precious to me Zia. The first time I felt this kind of protectiveness but I was frightened of myself""These were all new to me. Everything in my life was easily offered, I can easily get anything I want...but for the first time...you gave me a difficult plight. A battle against myself""You were there for an easy take...but I don't want to just take you...I don't deserve you. I have so many demons inside me""I want to possess you but at the same time, I want you to be free from me... You deserve more than a m

The rumor continues to float around but Lucien or any Wright ignores it like it doesn't exist. It has receded by the inattention of anyone from the family. The cold shoulder added to Ellen's resentment. Lucien did not bother to take down the document. He left everything unanswered and unverified. He left the decision to the public to believe it or not.With all his hectic schedule, he has no time to be bothered by insignificant matters, more so Lexie. She has become busy with the preparation of her brand and the design she will be launching. She has become too focused on her dream career and their family to mind gossip. Lucy's health has been immensely improving and she was so happy about it. That's all that's important to her and Lucien, Lucy's good health.She had just come out of the vehicle still several meters away from Silhouette Designs office when she was startled by someone's greetings. "Hello, Lexie, wow great car! A limo!" Emily'

Ellen's departure has been quiet. No media had known of her plans of leaving the country. But Lexie knows about it from Lucien. His men reported Ellen's flight together with her parents and it's doesn't look like a short vacation. "It would help her to leave for a moment," she said to him."Yes, it will do her good. I wonder what made her decide. She was a brat and spoiled to be convinced by her parents" he mumbles."Miss Ellen is a smart woman. She might have some realizations to make her life better" she smiles while snuggling close to him with closed eyes."I hope so" he mutters with a shrug. They just finished making love and they are ready to sleep while having a casual conversation. But too tired to stay awake, Lexie no longer had the chance to reply as she enters slumber. "I tire you again, my doll" he whispers while caressing her face.After placing a gentle kiss on her forehead, he gathers her in his arms and closed his e
