All Chapters of I Married A CEO Dad: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

[ Tristan ]I was stunned, how could she blurt out a very special memory, exactly how it happened five years ago? I stared at her pale face and a sliver of hope sprouted inside me. She was having flashes of her past means I can help her to remember the beautiful time we spent together and how we promised each other to never be apart.“We have reached.” I said to divert the subject. I knew if I asked her about it, it’d make her panic and there’s probabilities that she’d close herself and I won’t risk it.“Come, Travis. I’ll order my favourite for us, do you want to try my special treat?” She asked Travis while avoiding me.“Yes, Mom.” My son clapped his hands and they stepped out of the car, our guards followed us. I walked by their side, my eyes scanning the area for any suspicious activities and when I was convinced that we were safe, I signalled them to enter inside. The place was quiet and vacated as I had reserved the place for two hours. I paid them double.“Why this usually crow

[ Claire ]“Tristan?” I softly whispered his name because he had been hugging me for more than ten minutes.“Just stay like this for two minutes.” He said, burying his face in the crook of my neck but how could I tell him that our closeness is creating a summersault inside me.“I think it’ll rain again. we should go back inside as I felt droplets falling on my hands.He slowly broke the hug but still stood hugging my waist. His intense eyes fell on me and I felt strange emotions surging inside me.“Let’s go.” He said and sensually grabbed my hand. An electric sensation ran through my cells.He began to walk briskly inside but it started raining heavily so we ran. By the time we reached in the porch, I was drenched and my satin nightgown stuck on my skin. My gaze travelled on Tristan whose shirt became flimsy and gave a sexy view of his perfect abs.I gulped my saliva. In my memory, I hadn’t dated any guy since high school, having sex or any intimacy with a man was totally alien for me

[ Claire ]“Miss Jones, we agree that you want to re-apply the old rules and want to raise the wages of our fourth class employees but you can see, we can’t afford to cut the budget of our senior employees, who are the backbone of our company. They work really hard to keep up with the present day’s competitive market.” One of the board members, who is also a very good friend of my father said during the board meeting the very next day.“I agree with you, Mr. Gabe but our workers, who work in the factory are our real backbone. They don’t complain and come to their shift on time, never takes day off because they have to look after their family’s needs. They are always scared of losing their jobs, that’s why they work with honesty but the problem persists with our upper system. They know, any MNC may hire them if they quit their jobs here and they’re taking undue advantage of our current crisis. I have shortlisted a few names. You can check their recent performance and then decide, why m

[ Claire ]“Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope you are enjoying this evening. We’re glad that you all became a part of our celebration as we mark the beginning of our new journey.” Tristan addressed our guests over the microphone.The spotlight was on three of us, the flashes of cameras almost blinded me.“Tonight, I am feeling extremely happy to make two announcements. You all already know that I am blessed to marry this woman, standing by my side.” He turned to me with a smile, I was feeling really overwhelmed.The air echoed with clapping. They were the same people who witnessed the biggest humiliation of my life. Tristan was right, it depends on us how we use it for our benefit. I was standing beside the most influential man of the city, it changes my identity.“Meet my wife, Claire Jones Pierce and the CEO of Jones & Co. The second announcement is more exciting not only for us but also for all my friends in our world.” Tristan paused and this time my curiosity also piqued. What could b

[ Claire ]We talked very less since our last encounter at the party. He announced our collaboration without my permission or even discussing it with me but I could see visible change in the attitude of the senior officers in my company who used to express their dislike for me, now treats me with respect and seem eager to be a part of every decision making.Three days passed. I spent most of the time at office since my workload doubled with the responsibilities. I don’t even get chance to eat properly, let alone dwelling in my personal life’s turmoil. But I know, I can’t avoid a conversation with him for long, sooner or later, I have to face him.A soft knock on the door diverted my attention from the computer screen to Miss Kim, who was standing at the door.“Miss Kim, please come in, sorry I was totally engrossed in the new products’ quality check and various levels of testing, all the results look good. Let’s do the tasting tomorrow.” I smiled tiredly at her and yawned.“Ma’am, are
