All Chapters of CEO He is Paranoid: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Asher suddenly embraced Vivienne tightly. "Okay, I'll wait, but Vivienne, don't test my patience. My patience only lasts for 62 days," he said in a cold yet clear voice, as if issuing a final ultimatum.Vivienne's body stiffened, feeling cold sweat on her palms and soles of her feet. "You're trembling," he remarked.Only then did she realize that her body was trembling."Is it because of the cold or fear?" he asked.She was startled and looked up at him. His eyes were still red, but the anger and resentment that were once there had now transformed into a probing gaze."Why are you asking like this?" she felt her throat starting to feel dry."If it's fear, then it's not allowed. Many people are afraid of me, but you, you can't be afraid of me." He didn't care about others' fear, avoidance, or resentment, but the thought of her being afraid of him was unbearable.With that thought in mind, his arms gradually tightened.Her spine faintly ached, and her chest was forced to press tightly a

The cashier dared not speak again and quickly found change for Vivienne.Asher pulled Vivienne out of the pharmacy. He was tall with long legs, walking briskly, and she almost stumbled as she hurriedly jogged to keep up with his pace."Don't walk so fast, slow down!" she couldn't help but shout.But he didn't stop, he kept walking.It wasn't until her foot tripped on a stone on the ground that he finally stopped, catching her body and preventing her from falling.She regained her balance and looked up at him. His expression still seemed cold and icy, and even though she was slow to catch on, she could tell he was angry."Who is your boyfriend?" he abruptly asked."What?" she was taken aback, but she saw him take another step forward, getting closer to her, bending down to stare at her. "Who is your boyfriend?" he repeated, his voice icy cold.His eyes, deep and beautiful, with pitch-black pupils, were like ancient wells with no bottom, easy to get lost in once you stared into them."I

It wasn't until Vivienne reached the sixth grade that their shared sleeping arrangement ended, after she experienced her first period. At that time, they had a big fight over it."Yes!" she said, "If you have an injury, I can help apply medication, but it doesn't mean I can undress you or freely look at your body.""What if I say you can?" he asked, sounding somewhat desperate."Even then, it's not allowed," she refused.On his beautiful face, there was a hint of hurt. Suddenly, he raised his hand and began unbuttoning his shirt, one button at a time.Vivienne widened her eyes. What was he doing? Undressing?Time seemed to stand still as she stared blankly at him unbuttoning his shirt, undoing all the buttons and revealing his bare chest.Under the light, it appeared flawlessly fair. Unlike his childhood and adolescent bodies, his physique now embodied that of a mature man, with well-defined abdominal muscles emanating a subtle sense of intimidation."Does that mean I have to become y

The man rumored to be aloof and indifferent, a man who showed no interest in women, but anyone could understand the possessive and focused gaze he had when looking at Vivienne. So, was that man determined to have Vivienne?Subconsciously rotating the ring on his left hand, Ezra lowered his gaze, fixating on the smile of the girl in the photo. Her delicate face couldn't compare to the dazzling women surrounding him, yet that smile had poisoned him, haunting his thoughts even three years later."Vivienne," he softly uttered, as if speaking to her in the photo, or perhaps murmuring to himself, "Tell me, how can I forget you? Should I obtain you or destroy you?" If he couldn't have her, then he would destroy her. That had always been his belief, but an unexplained pain pricked at his chest.Faintly, gradually, it deepened, responding to him in the still air.Raising his hand, Ezra closed his eyes, lightly pressing his lips against the cold ring, indulging in its presence.For Vivienne, As

The man referred to as Sharon seemed visibly angry. Fueled by alcohol, he forcefully shook off Caelan's hand and said, "Her? I want to see what Asher would do to make me regret it if I really laid a hand on her. Am I supposed to end up in the hospital like Gary?"Sharon shouted and swung his fist towards Vivienne. Despite Vivienne's efforts to remain calm, being held by the collar and the inherent physical differences between men and women left her with no escape. Just as Sharon's fist was about to connect, his head was suddenly held tightly by a hand, and the next moment, his body was kicked away with force.In the blink of an eye, when Vivienne regained her senses, she saw the man who intended to hit her already sprawled on the ground. Asher's foot was pressing down on the hand that had thrown the punch, and his usually clear and handsome face was now covered in a shadow.Lily took the opportunity to run to Vivienne's side and asked, "Are you okay? Did anything happen?" When she wit
