All Chapters of Charming the CEO: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Ethan's lawyer, a man who was supposed to be one of the best in the business, was trembling like a leaf outside the police station. His usually impeccable suit was rumpled, and his bow tie hung crookedly around his neck. He looked like a man on the verge of a breakdown.Gery, my lawyer, approached him with a confident stride. He was a tall man, with broad shoulders and a commanding presence. He wore a tailored suit that fit him perfectly, and his hair was slicked back in a neat style. He placed a comforting hand on the other lawyer's shoulder, and I could see the man visibly relax."Nice bow tie," Gery said, trying to lighten the mood. But the lawyer just smiled weakly, and I could tell that something was off. It was as if he knew something that I didn't.I had always known that Gery was a famous lawyer, but in that moment, I felt like there was more to him than that. He seemed to have a certain power and authority that was impossible to ignore. H

Amelia was in her dimly lit bedroom, the curtains drawn shut to block out the harsh afternoon sun. She sat on her plush velvet bedspread, her sweet face suddenly contorting into a scowl as she clenched her hands into tight fists. The soft fabric beneath her palms did little to absorb the force of her anger as she punched the air in front of her. "Ethan thinks he can buy me with his money," she muttered to herself, her voice barely above a whisper. "He has nothing better to offer."She could feel the heat rising in her cheeks as she licked her lips, tasting the salty tang of her own frustration. Amelia took a deep breath, inhaling the faint scent of lavender that lingered in the air from the candles she had lit earlier. She closed her eyes and tried to calm her racing thoughts, but it was no use. The frustration that had been building up inside her for weeks was like a volcano, ready to erupt at any moment.She picked up her cell phone from the nightstand and dialed a number, her finge

Luna, Eddie, and Gery sat in a plush velvet booth at the upscale restaurant, the soft clinking of silverware against fine china and hushed conversations of the other patrons creating a soothing ambiance. The scent of rich mahogany and fresh flowers filled the air, and the dim lighting cast a warm glow over the crisp white tablecloths. Gery was going over the plan for the courtroom later that day, his voice low and steady as he outlined their strategy. His eyes flicked up to meet Luna's, and Luna could see the determination in his gaze. "Why is the trial moving so quickly?" Luna asked, her brow furrowed in confusion. She took a sip of her ice water, the cool liquid soothing her dry throat. Gery gave a small smile, his eyes flicking up to meet Luna's. "Well, the investigation should have a process, but it seems your ex-husband has paid off some bad cops to expedite the process. Your trial schedule was moved up as a result." Luna shook her head, disgusted at the lengths Ethan was will

Luna stepped out of the taxi and took a deep breath, feeling the crisp morning air fill her lungs. The scent of dew-kissed grass and blooming flowers filled her nostrils, and she couldn't help but smile. It had been far too long since she had last set foot in Eddie's green Earth Solution company, and she was eager to get back to work.As she made her way through the hallway, she couldn't help but notice the hushed silence that hung in the air. The usual hum of office chatter and the sound of fingers typing away at keyboards was conspicuously absent. She glanced at her watch and realized that she had arrived much earlier than usual. She shrugged it off and continued walking towards Eddie's office.When she reached his door, she was surprised to find it unlocked. She hesitated for a moment, her heart pounding in her chest, before pushing it open. The room was dimly lit, and it took a moment for her eyes to adjust. As they did, she saw a figure slumped over the desk. It was Eddie, fast a

I couldn't believe it. I had just won the trial against Ethan, who had accused me of corruption. The atmosphere in the courtroom was tense, and I could feel everyone's eyes on me as Ethan presented his evidence. But then, the unthinkable happened. The video that Ethan claimed was proof of my corruption turned out to be just a cute cat video. The courtroom erupted in laughter, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over me.As I sat in my apartment, I couldn't stop watching the news coverage of the trial. It had gone viral, and people all over the world were talking about it. I felt a mix of shock and happiness as I saw the headlines: "A Woman Cleared of Corruption Charges," " Evidence Backfires in Court," "Justice Prevails in a Trial."I let out a sigh of relief and leaned back on my couch. It had been a long and stressful few weeks, but it was finally over. I could finally put this whole ordeal behind me and move on with my life.As I sat there, my stomach growled. I rea
