All Chapters of The Cold-hearted CEO's Secret love: My reborn Wife: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

“Nikolai, can I speak with you?” His father called out but Nikolai didn’t even glance at him as he went straight to his mother’s garden where she liked to spend time when she was not at the office. Marjory wore black garden gloves as she was weeding off the grass from her flowers. When she saw the door open, her lips stretched into a smile, “My beautiful angel, how was your third day as CEO?”“It was good. You still do this?” Nikolai asked as he took a seat.Marjory laughed softly before returning to weeding her flowers, “If I don’t do it, who is going to do it?”“You have more than fifty workers. I’m sure ten of them wouldn’t mind.” Nikolai shrugged.“I know you didn’t show up in my garden to discuss my flowers. What is it?” Marjory asked, concern in her voice.Nikolai had called her two nights before and asked that they speak but Marjory insisted they meet after the board election. “You knew didn’t you?”“Knew what?”“Mum!” Nikolai snapped but kept his voice controlled.“You’re youn

The morning sun streamed through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. Nikolai stirred, his eyes fluttering open. He blinked against the light, trying to shake off the dizziness that was starting. As he turned his head, he saw Joane sitting beside him, her expression a mix of concern and relief. "Morning," she said softly, her voice gentle. "Morning," Nikolai replied, his voice hoarse. He rubbed his eyes and sat up slowly, the events of the previous night coming back to him in fragments. Joane reached out and took his hand. "Nik, what happened last night? You were so upset." Nikolai looked away, his jaw tightening. "I’m sorry, Sweetheart. I... I don’t want to talk about it right now. Not before the party." Joane studied his face, the events of the previous night flashing before her and breaking her heart all over again. She nodded reluctantly. "Alright. But we will talk about it later, Right?" "Promise," Nikolai said, squeezing her hand. With that, Joane

Have you ever had a moment when everything comes crashing down and hits you like you've been slapped? That's how Joane was feeling but she was still in denial as she shook her head. "It can't be!" She felt like an iron fist had reached into her chest and was squeezing her heart painfully.Her stomach twisted into tight knots and she felt like her chest was stuffed making it hard to breathe. Tears rolled down her face as the night replayed in her head.“He knew and yet he watched her ruin my reputation!?” She grabbed onto her chest and bent over in tears. She stood and wiped her tears with a heavy sigh. She had to find him, she had to hear it from his mouth. As she reached the door, she met a woman with dark hair and tapped her shoulder, “Hello.” She greeted her voice slightly hoarse“Hi,” Barbra responded.Barbra had stayed back to keep an eye on Joane Incase she ran upstairs in search of Nikolai. Her task was pretty simple, To hurt Joane's feelings. “Have you seen Nikolai?” Joane

Joane's heart hammered in her chest as she locked eyes with Nikolai, his presence sending a flurry of emotions through her. She fought to maintain her composure, pushing down the wave of feelings threatening to overwhelm her. She couldn't afford to let him see how much he affected her. The memories of how close they had gotten and how he had been there for her made it hard for her to hate him like she used to. His ocean-blue eyes relaxed when they met with her brown ones, another reminder of how worried he had been, and that made it even harder for Joane to do what she was supposed to."Joane," Nikolai said softly, stepping closer, his eyes searching hers for any sign of recognition. Fear gripped him as he wondered what happened. ‘Did the memories return and affect her so bad that she is in the hospital?’ He thought as he rushed to her and wrapped his arms around her.“Thank God you’re safe. I was losing my mind.” He whispered before he turned to the Doctor, “What happened? Is she oka

“I can’t do this anymore Kia!” She cried into the phone.After refusing to open the bedroom door, she heard the front door being shut which was a sign that Nikolai had left the house. The way he banged the door showed how angry he was. Joane had leaned against the door as tears streamed down her face and her heart shredded to pieces.“I’m so sorry hun. I am sorry that you’re going through this. I wish I could wrap my hands around you and help you calm down. You should come over and stay here for a few weeks. Maybe Stella can put a smile on your face.” Kiana smiled softly into the phone, her heart breaking for her friend.“I’ll think about it when I land tomorrow morning. I really love him, Kia.” Joane sniffed into the phone.“I know babe,” Kiana responded.“Maybe if I had listened to you things would have been different.” Joane sniffed into the phone.“It’s not your fault. Don’t be too hard on yourself. I didn’t even really know her but she was close friends with my ex-best friend Ann
