All Chapters of Secret of the CEO (Marshall Boys Series) Book I: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

I waited a long time for Kayden to call me back. Hours passed, but nothing. No reply to my texts either. I asked the maids, I asked the security guards—no one knew where he was. Or they pretended not to know. Either way, it made my blood boil. What was he thinking?I grabbed my phone, fingers trembling in frustration, and fired off a message. Whether he read it or not, I didn’t care anymore.“Kayden, I don’t know why you’re so angry. You already know I was only at the hospital because Noah got injured, right? You know he saved me from getting hit by that falling glass, or it would’ve been me lying there! How is it wrong for me to stay and check on him? Should I have just ignored him after he got hurt protecting me? How would that be fair?”I sent the message, staring at the screen like it was going to magically fix everything. But of course, no response. Not even a read receipt.Lying there on my bed, I felt like I was waiting for someone who didn’t care, like I was the only one bothe

POV KaydenI released Zara and lay there while panting, trying to catch my breath. It felt like something just came over me. I turned my head only to notice the marks spread all over Zara’s body. Oh my God, did I do that to her! “Uhm… Let’s go take a shower.”Zara did not move at all. She turned her body to the opposite side in reluctance. “I don’t want to…”I did not have a choice. I could only prop myself up and pat her. However, she still did not move. So, I could only say, “I’ll help you,” as I lifted Zara in his arms in one swift motion as whined.“Kayden…” she moaned. “Put me down.”“You need a shower. You look like a walking mess.”Zara huffed and pouted, but I ignored her. She was too beautiful to just look at. I’d fuck her again if she let me. I felt my dick grow hard again as I entered the bathroom.“Okay, okay… I’ll take a shower.”Zara gave in. I carefully placed her down and turned the shower on, the steam filled the room. I turned around to see Zara’s beautiful body, he

POV ZaraWhen I woke up, Kayden was already gone. Panic set in immediately. Where could he have gone in such a weak state? I jumped out of bed and hurriedly ran through the house, searching every corner. But even after looking everywhere, I still couldn’t find him.Just as I was about to lose hope, I bumped into Yohan at the entrance. Seeing him here, still around, gave me a small sense of relief. At least he hadn’t left, so things couldn’t be too bad, right? I quickly grabbed his arm and blurted out, “Where’s Kayden? Is he feeling better?”Yohan gave me a small, reassuring smile. “He’s much better now. The fever’s gone, but his body is still weak.”“But where is he?” I asked, still anxious.Yohan sighed. “He’s someone who pushes himself hard. The moment he felt even a bit better, he went right back to work.”I could feel my heart tighten in frustration. “What? That’s ridiculous! He can’t be working in this condition.”I quickly turned and dashed to the study. Sure enough, there he wa

POV KaydenWhen I walked into the house, the maid came to me immediately. "Miss Jensen has arrived," she said, her voice cautious, like she was preparing for some kind of storm. I knew what to expect. As soon as I entered the dining room, there she was—Monica—sitting there with that familiar look in her eyes, waiting for me.When she saw me, she stood up quickly, her eyes lighting up as if we hadn’t seen each other in years. I sighed internally, already tired of the situation. It didn’t matter what she said, I could see her real intentions."Why did you come here?" I asked, making no effort to hide my irritation.She pursed her lips, feigning offense. "What? Do you not welcome me anymore?" Her voice was laced with false innocence."It’s just that you didn’t mention anything beforehand." I didn’t care to sugarcoat it."Why? Do you think I came here for you?" she snapped, raising her chin defiantly. "I came for Zara. My life doesn’t revolve around yours, you know. This is work."My gaze

POV ZaraAs I sat with Clara, sipping my drink, I couldn’t help but think about everything that had happened lately. The situation with Monica had been weighing heavily on my mind. But Clara, true to form, found a way to inject some humor into the situation, even when it seemed bleak.“That woman is really too cruel,” she said, her voice filled with a mix of disbelief and indignation. “She actually went through with it—she really tried to end herself.”I sighed, swirling my straw around in my drink. Monica’s actions were dramatic, even for her. “Yes… Maybe she really does love Kayden a lot.”I didn’t want to dwell on it too much. The whole situation was too heavy, and honestly, I didn’t have the energy to try to make sense of someone like Monica. I had my own reasons for staying out of their mess. Honestly, I just came out today because I couldn’t bear to sit at home alone, overthinking everything. Clara always had a way of distracting me, even when I didn’t know I needed it.“How’s w
