All Chapters of Falling for my cocky Boss: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Tessa's POVTwo weeks since our retreat, it had finally seemed that things finally settled down. Aiden had gone out of his way to reassure me, and with each day passing since our trip brought him closer, planted my feet on the ground knowing with him-together we can face anything.Today had been one of those days that, all things being equal, would be remembered for all the right reasons: the celebration of the company's 20th anniversary and Aiden scheduled to give the main address. I watched from the crowd as he made his way toward the microphone, his stride at ease, his commanding presence. The way he spoke -clear, confident-made the attention of the room. It made me proud to stand by him, proud to call him mine.As he went on talking about the growth of the company, and gave his regards to all employees for making it all possible, my chest just puffed up with pride. Really, he was great at what he was doing.Then, just as he was about to conclude, something occurred and shook the s

Aiden's POVI drove across to Chloe's apartment, my hold on the steering wheel firm enough that it creaked in protest. My jaw ached with tension, just one throbbing ache right at the bottom of my skull. The image of her smug face at that party flashed into my head, the way she drops a bombshell with such candor right in front of everybody, tears down everything which I have fought so hard to keep safe.It was that expression in Tessa's eyes that finally got to me. All was there in her eyes, confusion, denial, pain-so overwhelming, staring right at me inside the bomb dropped by Chloe, cuts like twisting a knife in my gut. That really went too far this time.I wasn't going anywhere from this apartment until some answers came my way.I slammed the door on the car, and strode toward the building in heavy footfalls that, in my mind, drummed purpose into every step I took. It was as if, with every further step, I had poured fuel into this budding anger, ready to scald everything in its way.

Tessa's POVThe morning sunlight pale, creeping between the sides of my curtains into my room, was my greet back into consciousness. That soft glow cast some warmth, though with no great success at thawing that cold knot in my chest.Puffy eyes and an aching throat-the leftovers of last night's tears-and I was so done with that. Today was supposed to be the day that Aiden Gray and Chloe no longer controlled my life.No more wallowing around, no pity parties.I swung my legs over the side, letting them fall with a solid thud onto the floor-as if somehow this mere act of grounding equated to emotional strength. I wasn't going to fall to pieces. Aiden may have shattered my heart and Chloe may have embarrassed me before the world, but they weren't going to take my dignity too.I would take back my life, and it was going to start with my career.I showered long, pulled out my sharpest blazer-a navy blue crisp affair with gold buttons-pulled on some black tailored pants. In front of the mir

DAMIEN'S POV"You're not thinking on a big enough scale, Chloe," I said, my tone razor-sharp as I poured myself a glass of whiskey. "If you want to secure Aiden, you can't just stop at throwing a tantrum at a party. You have to think strategically."Chloe pulled herself up onto the couch, wrapping herself protectively in her arms. "I already announced the pregnancy, Damien. What more am I supposed to do? Beg him to care about me?" She narrowed her eyes filled with distrust at himI let out a dark laugh, swishing the amber in my glass before taking a slow sip. "No, Chloe. You don't beg. You make him care. You have the ace card in your hand-his so-called child. Use it.”She frowned, her perfectly arched eyebrows furrowing together in a mess of confusion. "What are you insinuating?”I leaned against the desk, setting my glass down with deliberate precision. “Push your way into his life. Show him you’re serious about raising this baby together. Make it impossible for him to ignore you. An

TESSA'S POVEarly morning sunlight filtered in through my office window as I sat at my desk staring at the computer screen in front of me. What was actually getting at my nerves was this constant replay that kept playing inside my head-what had happened that night, all the insinuations regarding Aiden and this so-called "connection."The smirk of a smile, the words cut out with her cutting tongue, just kept playing in my head in unending loops. I tried hard, but the insinuations would just not allow me to focus at work.Come on, Tessa girl, she's just trying to get under your skin.I let out a sharp breath and then reached for my coffee cup, taking a long sip. Just as I set it back down, the knock to the door pulled me from my thoughts."Come in," I called out, actually relieved for the distraction.With that, the door opened, and to my surprise, Jack came in, one of the best of my mates within the Media Technology Department. Since I joined the company, Jack and I had remained close
