All Chapters of The CEO'S Forbidden Secret: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

LAURA'S POVThe meeting with Trenton, Oscar, and Bryan did not end well, but we had this conversation that opened my mind to the fact that I would be working closely with him. If we would ever get a chance at ruining Blake in his own game, I had to find out who Cindy and my stepmom sold me off to. I stared at myself in the mirror as I put on my eye lens. Kora stared at me with a frown on her face, yes she freaked out when she heard of my return to the city and the fact that I was going to stay at my ex's estate.In fact, she could not wrap the idea around her head. "You look different," she remarked, and I could hear worry in her voice."That's why I didn't want you to know, you worry too much," I replied as I straightened my dress. "You won't blame me. You've hidden so many dirty secrets, Laura. You left the city without a word and now you're working with Bryan. It makes me feel like you're a part of something illegal." She began"Did I really not mean anything to you?" she asked

BRYAN'S POV I was angry she wasted time in there with that old hag. I couldn't help but lose it when I saw her walk out looking like someone who has been f*cked. And then, I reacted on impulse. I don't get angry easily, but when I do, everyone knows it's never nice. I stared at her in anger as she pulled her sling bag closer to her body. "I don't need your help. I'll call Cris to pick me up," she replied, hurt. It was pretty obvious my words hurt her, but that's exactly what I wanted her to feel, the pain she put me through when she walked away from me. "Get in the car before I walk up to you!" I snapped, and she just stared at me with her green doe eyes. Laura has always been a stubborn woman. Anyone who knew her knew just how much she hates being controlled, something I observed even before we dated in the past. "I'm not your wife, and I'm definitely not someone you should be yelling at," she retorted, and I stormed out of the car in anger. "Do not test my patience, Laura

BRYAN'S POV"You changed her diapers already?" Sylvia asked as she stared at me with a bright smile on her face."Yeah, I was feeding her when she pooped," I replied as Ruby snuggled into me."You guys look so cute together," she remarked, and I rubbed our daughter's back as she slept in my arms."Sylvia, I will be going out of the country tomorrow for work," I announced, and she stared at me immediately."Who are you going with?" she inquired as she folded her arms across her chest."Since when did you develop such a concern about whom I'm going with?" I questioned, and she snapped."Ah, you're definitely going with your ex, right? Right, Bryan!" she yelled angrily."Calm down; you'd wake the baby," I instructed calmly."Don't you dare tell me that rubbish. You're traveling with Laura, right? Oh my goodness," she shouted at the top of her voice, which woke Ruby up immediately as she cried."Sylvia, stop this madness," I urged exhaustively."So now I'm the mad woman?" she asked, cryin

LAURA'S POVThroughout our ride to the airport, my heart squeezed in hurt as I looked out of the windows.'She thinks I'm jealous of her and her daughter? Why would I even...' I mumbled under my breath, as I rubbed my forehead and bit my lower lip in annoyance.When we got down to board the flight, that's when I realized we were going to the city I had just left. Why didn't Trenton mention this?"Rich city?" I inquired, and he sighed softly."We are actually going after Mr. Viktor, a young politician who happens to be one of the members of the group we are up against," he began."Oscar believes Viktor is a very smart man and must hold a top rank in the gang, one of the reasons why Blake would keep him close to his dirty secrets," he explained, and I suddenly became more interested.After all, this was the first time we were having a conversation where we weren’t biting each other's heads off.'If we are not mistaken, we feel the headquarters in Rich City is the biggest they have. Coul

LAURA'S POVHow could he be so mean to me? I felt it, the coldness in his voice as he snapped at me.Did I really damage him this much? I didn't want anything, just a shirt.Walking into the bathroom, and after I was done, I wore one of the simple dresses Jacob had bought."Nuella, darling, we have been waiting for you to join us, sweetheart," Jacob's mom exclaimed excitedly."Is that Mr. Elroy's wife? She's so beautiful. I'm Lora, Jacob's fiancée," the beautiful lady introduced herself and hugged me in excitement."Hi," I muttered, suddenly not liking the attention I was getting from everyone."You're scaring the innocent girl, Lora," Elise pointed out, and Lora blushed in embarrassment."No, it's okay," I replied, and she squealed."See, Nuella doesn't mind. You guys look so cute together," she chimed excitedly.Surprisingly, the family said grace, after which everyone decided to dig into their food. Everything was surprisingly delicious.I was worried about Bryan, wondering if he c
