All Chapters of Forced Marriage With The CEO : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

«NICOLE»“Go on, sit. ” Sedar watched me in amusement. I hated the smug look on his face but I knew he could whip out his gun at any moment and nothing was exactly stopping him from shooting out brains. It might have mooked like I was the one in charge but now, the situation became clear to me. I was the one under him. As long as our transaction remained incomplete, he controlled me. How had it gotten to this? I thought. If I recalled correctly, the pact we had was pellucid and simple, heck so stupid looking at it from his side that I literally had nothing to lose. That was then when I had been confident of winning this battle. But now, I saw his plan. His eyes revealed that much. Right now, he was going to show me how real he was. And if I tried to run, he would catch me alive and show me a hell worse than death itself. With all of this going through my mind, I sat docile awaiting his next command. This was nothing like the night with Ethan. Sedar was the complete opposite,

«Loveth»Get a grip girl, I told myself walking through the revolving doors of the company. I must have stood outside for like ten minutes prepping myself up to get in and get on with life. Everything seemed normal, but why wouldn't it? I'd probably been the only one with a traumatizing experience last night. Left to me, I would have stayed in my bed soaking my pillow with tears but I had to come to work. I'd already called in sick once this week to enable me watch and follow Layla. I did not have a high rank to use to my advantage like Nicole did, so no pity party for me.Nicole. Thinking of her brought up a rage I hadn't known I could feel within me. I marched into the elevator, fueled by anger. How could she do something like that to me? Didn't being best friends count anymore? She was extreme on most days and I was used to that, maybe even a bit fond, but last night was way over the top. The things they made me do, the things they did to me. I shivered at the thought of what had

«ETHAN»I stared at my phone with a mixed expression. It was lucas calling, telling me he was at my company.“You want me to meet you at my company?” My brows furrowed stressing the part that it was my company we were talking about. “How absurd.”He gave a short laugh. “Well last time you tried visiting the Empire building you nearly died alright,” He reminded me.I grunted. Just when I decided to take a break from everything today. For a change, my plan was to lie in bed all day like some depressed human and think long and hard about everything.Just yesterday, some henious slander went all over the net and then just today, there was a reported homicide on the news. Just my luck, the victim was from my company. I didn't need that kind of scandal for the Crawford cooperation. Of course I wasn't being paranoid but I had a bad feeling in my gut that it was all connected.But c'mon, that wasn't even possible. I didn't even know the name of the victim. There was no way it was connected.

«Layla»It only took about an hour. A short time for something permanent. And it hurt as hell. Drake spread a saran wrap over my back and gave me a tablet to ease the pain.“Looks great” he said, stepping back to admire his work.“At least you can see it” i grumbled turning over. One of his workers whistled “that's perfect boss.“ He said. The others nodded in agreement. They had come back thirty minutes ago, and some were attending to others. Well what could I say, Drake knew his job well.“Let's come to talk in my office” he said, helping me up and leading me away. “You all should carry on” he called to them.“So what do you want to do about Ethan?“ He asked as he opened the lock.“Well I'll give him what he wants. I want out anyway” I said sitting on a couch. I was long tired of our marriage. I was tired of staying where I wasn't wanted and being ignored. This was an easier way out.“You can't just do that” he said “it's a misunderstanding. Try to make him see that"At his words, s

  «Layla» I was up long before the first streaks of gold started making their way across the sky. I slipped down my bed, feeling around for my furry slippers. Ah there they were. I padded out to the bathroom and splashed water in my face, checking my reflection in the mirror. I was glad I hadn't cried to sleep last night. The tears had come but I'd pushed them away angrily. I was done being a soft girl. I would spare no more tears on Ethan. He didn't deserve that anymore. I remembered his expression when I had asked my last question. All this while, and I had no idea. He was the real guilty one but here he was blaming me for something I didn't do.  By anyone else, I meant Nicole, and I think we both knew it. Well let him have her then. I was tired of both of their presence in my life. Today I would go to see Drake and whether he was done with his preparation
