All Chapters of Forced Marriage With The CEO : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

«Ethan»Jonas looked a little more than terrified but followed my lead as I pulled the trigger. The look on his face was resigned. There was no going back now.I'm glad he understood. Since we had already gone against the law, we were going to see it through to the end.“Who's there, show yourself!” One of the kidnappers yelled pointing in all directions. Layla had already taken the initiative to flee and take shelter behind a ledge. I heaved a sigh. It would really be troublesome if the criminal still held on to her and used her to threaten us. “You know what to do now.” I nodded at Jonas.“Y-yes master,” He said no doubt remembering my instructions. No matter what happened, he was to take Layla, get into the car and leave.I stepped out of the shadows and addressed the man.“I'm sorry but you have something that's mine.” My voice was cold and deadly, plunging the already cool atmosphere to another freaking hundred degrees.Out of the corner of my eyes, I sighted Jonas sprinting a

«Layla»I was long awake but still trying to get my bearings. What was I doing in a strange bed... Again.I stood up trying to organise the memories floating in my head. Everything was messy upstairs. All I remembered was that it was a rather eventful nights.I was Layla Wales, Ethan Crawford's legal wife. What exactly had happened last night? I know I felt a lot of emotional damage but the main events themselves eluded me.I glanced around the room I was in, the messed up working desk was impossible to miss. I never left my working space disaranged, if I had doubts before, now I was certain, this was not my room.As though to affirm this, my eyes caught the decorated tepestries that hung on the wall and unlabelled oil paintings. Everything was so Greek... Definitely not my style.I felt around for my phone but wasn't really surprised to find nothing.“I guess I'd be roaming the corridors then,” I thought sadly.There was nothing like waking up feeling strange and there was no one fam

«ETHAN»I walked into the building deep in thought. Layla had refused to tell who her enemies were. That gave me a bit of extra work.I had gone on with the original plan and told her about the vacation we were supposed to have. It was my last form of compensation to her.I hoped to goodness that I wouldn't regret itOut of the corner of my eyes, I saw Violet at the top of the stairs, smirking down at everything. It kinda also pissed me off that she was making some discreet phon call on my territory... Almost like it was hers. I might still be able to cancel my honeymoon with Layla, a part of me thought. But no, I had already given her my word. The least I could to was to keep to it. Our eyes locked and she winked at me. I maintained my poker face fighting every muscle in my body that wanted to smack that smug look off her face. “Trust your decisions,” I told myself. “Trust the guts.”That wasn't much of a prep talk because right now, my guts told me something terrible was about t

 «NICOLE» Ethan didn't love me? She was spouting nonsense. Layla didn't know shit. We were inseparable. And by all means, I was going to prove to Ethan how valuable I was wishlist Layla continued to affirm now dispensable she was. I was still shaking with intense fury and found it difficult to even concentrate. Why hadn't I ever thought of it. It was time to expose Layla's little secret in how she actually got to live with Ethan. Ether ways, my miscalculation that led to this mess in the first place would turn into a weapon. Once I established the fact to the works that Layla was just a useless nobody who could go through such lengths just to get what she wanted, all it would take was a bit of framing to write her down further and soon enough, Ethan would be utterly disgusted with her. Whatever why it turned out, I was the winner. I barred my teeth in determination.&n

«ETHAN»I was at the border line of life and death. How long could I stall the devil before he struck? How long before help came or I succumbed completely. As it was presently, I could barely feel my feet.Help wasn't coming. And even if it was, it wasn't coming on time.I knew when the battle was over. But that didn't mean I was ready to give up. Not now...Not ever. I wouldn't be where was today if I threw in the towel everytime life threw a boulder my way.The question remained. What was I to do? He smiled smugly smugly as though reading my mind.I held up my hands. “Looks like you won this one hey?”“Looks so. ” He nodded in agreement.We were moving in circles wary of each other and secretly waiting for the first person to strike.He was reading my movements. Even if I got close enough to him, he wouldn't be as easy to kill as the other two men.“Why, don't you put your gun away.” I proposed. “Since you obviously can't use it. Such unnecessary weight... Or don't you think?”He e
