All Chapters of The CEO's Daughter: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

I was in a state of shock, the word that could describe me in that moment. Christopher was looking at us with concern; his leg was moving up and down at a high speed. He was anxious, almost as anxious and worried as Ethan.He paced back and forth around the room with his arms crossed over his chest, his gaze fixed on his feet. I sat on the couch, covering my face with both hands.For some strange reason, George, Chris's father, who many years ago had ordered the assassination of Ethan's father to take control of the company that interested them so much, had recently attempted to destroy my father's company using codes that I still didn't understand their purpose. To make matters worse, less than two months ago, he had kidnapped Ethan and me to an unknown location, which had resulted in an urgent trip to the hospital due to a gunshot wound in my abdomen.All of that, coupled with the fact that this same man believed that his son and I were together.I swallowed hard and sat up straigh

Chris took my hand across the table, interlacing his fingers with mine affectionately.I smiled and glanced to the side, feeling a bit embarrassed. Chris offered a seductive smile and whispered a joke in my ear, making me laugh. It wasn't because the joke was good, but rather because it was so bad that it was funny. He then assumed a more serious posture, and I could hear him licking his lips. I felt his fingers caressing my hand.The ambient music in the restaurant created a very romantic atmosphere for a young couple. The tables were filled with people engrossed in their own conversations, oblivious to their surroundings.I was close enough to Chris that any onlooker might assume we were on a date. Two tables to the right, I noticed a couple I recognized perfectly; they occasionally glanced at us, smiling with teasing amusement at our performance. I shook my head each time I shared a knowing smile with my friend.Two tables to the left, there was a girl who seemed to be waiting for

Chris stepped back a bit, looking doubtful. He seemed confused, and rightly so."Why?" he asked."The 'why' is not very clear to me, but I really need you to kiss me now," I replied.Chris moved a little closer to me, and I instinctively pressed against the wall. He placed his left arm behind my waist, and I nervously bit my lower lip."Are you sure?" he asked once more, his eyes capturing my attention."Yes," I answered.Chris lowered his gaze to my lips and then looked back at me, smiling. I couldn't help but smile in response; his smile was very contagious.His lips met mine in an instant. It took me a few milliseconds to adjust and let myself be carried away by the kiss. Christopher, in a way, guided me in the kiss. I felt a tingling sensation inside me and gave in to the feeling.This man certainly knew how to kiss.I embraced him beneath his arms, and I felt myself being pushed further against the wall. Our tongues played, and his made maneuvers worthy of a good kisser.A few mo

"Let me go, Christopher! Ethan's inside, for God's sake! Let me go!" I struggled to free myself from his grasp.I couldn't contain the emotions inside me. My stomach churned with dread. Ethan was inside, and I couldn't leave him.Chris held me tightly, his grip unyielding.I was overwhelmed by the tumultuous emotions raging within me. Ethan had died, and there was so much left unsaid. I couldn't tell him I loved him; I couldn't apologize for my earlier harsh words. I wouldn't see him again, feel his presence, hug him, or kiss him. He was gone.He had left us, protecting both me and Chris.How had I ever doubted his feelings for me? Now he was gone, gone forever.The firefighters rushed to extinguish the flames, but I was unable to look away from the fire-ravaged mansion. My tears flowed freely down my cheeks.I had been so foolish. I hadn't told him how I felt. I hadn't had the chance to say yes to his proposal. And now, it was too late. He was gone.Exhausted from my struggles with

I paced back and forth in the living room of my house, extremely nervous.I glanced at my father's closed office door once more. I then sat down on the largest sofa in the room, placing both hands on my knees.It was a fairly sunny day, with a few clouds in the sky, but it was overall a bright blue day. My house was clean, thanks to the cleaning I had done the day before in preparation for today.My house looked the same as before. The dining area was in front of a large window with a panoramic view of the city. Next to it was the guest bedroom door, where Ethan had stayed the first time he visited.In front of me was the TV, with two individual sofas on each side. To the left, there was a wall with an opening leading to the kitchen, which was spotless. The stairs were behind me, and the front door was in the opposite corner of the same wall.You could see the upstairs from where I was sitting, as there was a glass and black metal railing that allowed you to see halfway down the hallw
