All Chapters of Spoiled and Pampered by my Cold CEO Husband: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Go upstairs and pack your things, we don’t have much time,” her mother Lily said while packing some other boxes. She didn’t spare her daughter a glance.“Mum, what’s going on?” Avery asked with tear-filled eyes. She didn’t know where they were going. What about her school and her internship? Her father descended the stairs and said,“My dear, our company is bankrupt and we tried to partner with the Crowns to help us up again. The son of Andrew Crown wanted to marry you in exchange but since you don’t want that, we just have to do what we have to do.”Avery was lost. Her parents always provided her with everything she wanted so how could she have known that their business was suffering? Also, they didn’t mention it in the morning when they told her about the arranged marriage. “If the company was suffering, then why didn’t I know about it before?”Her father sighed and looked at her with pitiful eyes, his hands resting on her shoulders. “You have school and we didn’t want to burden yo

Avery wasn’t a liar but couldn’t tell him about Trent’s plan. There was something about Anderson that made it impossible for her to lie to him, even if she couldn’t look him in the eyes. “I…..I don’t want to go to the countryside and I…don’t want to lose my scholarship,” she stuttered and said seriously, her hair covering half of her face. People in the cafeteria had made them the center of attention. The CEO was indeed responding to the shy intern.Anderson was a little lost but his countenance seemed calm. “Who is sending you to the countryside, and who is taking away your scholarship?” He asked, not hiding the confusion on his face. Avery’s hands that rested on her thighs balled into fists to prevent them from trembling. Anderson asked a simple question but his aura made her uneasy. Her head was still lowered when she responded.“Dad said his business is down so he’s moving to the countryside and he said the Crowns sponsored my scholarship and will withdraw it if I don’t marry you.

“Is anything the matter? Don't you want to see your friend?” Andrew asked worriedly since Avery didn’t show any excitement.Avery lowered her head and asked in a low tone, “Is Anderson downstairs too?”“Yes. There are only four rooms in this house. One for the housekeeper, one for us, one for you, and the other for Anderson. Those rooms are all upstairs so you can’t avoid seeing him anyway,” Andrew explained. He just hoped to understand what Anderson was up to since he had promised to only reveal it after the wedding.Avery saw nothing wrong in telling Andrew. He was like a father to her and was also soft-spoken. “He said that we shouldn’t cross paths until we meet again at the altar.”Andrew was upset. Anderson was crossing the line and he didn’t like it at all. It felt like emotional abuse. “Ander said that?” He squinted and asked.“Yes,” Avery confirmed, not knowing if it was the right thing to do.“Then I’ll get rid of him for you or better still, let me send your friend over,” And

Avery lifted her head a little and saw that Anderson’s gaze had softened a bit. It was the best time to put her cards on the table as well. After thinking through her request for a while, she pleaded, “Please let me see Trent for the last time and end things with him myself.”Anderson almost believed her but love isn't something to be killed easily. Avery might be shy but also intelligent. She must be up to something again. He asked bitterly, “Why should I believe you? What if it’s a trick to elope with him?”Avery lifted her head and looked him in the eyes. “I will do no such thing, I promise.”Anderson was still not convinced. “You lied to me earlier.”Avery lowered her gaze in shame and apologized. “I’m sorry.”Anderson didn’t believe her but had to take his chances. This was his territory so what could Trent or Avery do? He turned to Joyce, who had been rendered speechless by Anderson’s mixed personality. “Joyce right?” Joyce nodded her head.“Your phone,” Anderson stretched his h

Trent didn't dare to look at the pictures a second time. He could feel his heart on fire as confusion brewed in his mind. ‘Is Avery falling in love with Anderson? No, she's just playing her part. She can’t fall in love with him,’ Trent consoled himself and vowed to not look at the pictures again.Anderson had chosen the pictures that were accidentally taken. They looked as if he was intimate with Avery but they never had any form of intimacy during the photo shoot. Somehow, his trick worked and Trent was sore.He recalled the card and was confused as to whether to attend the wedding or not. But how would he be able to see Avery again if he doesn’t go? His hand that was balled around the invitation card loosened together with the picture, as he singled out the invitation card and began to straighten it the best way he could. The wedding was strictly by invitation so he couldn’t get there without it.Upon second thoughts, he was washed with a greater confusion. Wasn’t Anderson afraid th
