Semua Bab Married To The Casanova CEO: Bab 51 - Bab 60

~~ Brittany's POV ~~I stepped out of Ace's car with my bag hung around my arm. I shot him a glance before shutting the door and making my way into the company.Last night still appeared as a mystery. No matter how deeply I thought about it, there weren't many reasons I could come up with, but the only question that kept lingering in my mind: was he sorry for everything?But he didn't speak about accusing me of having an affair with someone else when I still dated him. Neither did he speak about why he broke off our relationship without a second thought. The deeper I even thought about everything, the more pissed I become at the fact that my body easily gave into his touch last night."Good morning ma'am." I heard, making me halt at the number of workers standing in front of me, including my secretary."Good morning," I said, turning towards the elevator as Clarissa collected my bag and pressed the call button."I've gathered and sent the lists of the chairman's ongoing projects to y

“What's with you, girl? You just started rejoicing as soon as you came in here. What's the good news? Come on, let me know.” Zara implored with eagerness, keenly watching as Lora served herself another glass of champagne after finishing the first glass.She was Lora's best friend and the only friend Lora had kept by her side since high school. They were literally like twins back in those days because anywhere one find Lora, then be certain Zara would be there. They attended the same college at the same time, studied the same course and did almost everything together.It was just until recently, after they got out of college that each faced their different jobs when Lora started working in her father's company as a finance manager, wholly different from what she studied in college. All because she was afraid her half-sister would overthrow her if she didn't follow her closely by working behind her.Now, the two friends only met occasionally after work or during the non-working days. E

~~ Brittany's POV ~~I clasped my sweaty palms together as I clicked my heels quietly against the marble tiled floor. Until then, I didn't realize how tensed and scared I was. The first few hours didn't bother me that much because I was certain mom's lawyer was quite prepared. Thanks to the other maid who demanded to see me at the hospital, we were able to get recordings contradicting to what the supposed maid, Sophia had told the police. In one of the video recordings, she seemed to be working with someone against my mother, and she was the one who planted the forged documents in my parents' bedroom. Now, she was no longer a witness and for that reason, oppositions against my mother had reduced but somehow, I still felt anxious. After a brief recess, the judge returned with the verdict and as my eyes remained fixed on her, I hoped and prayed whatever she was holding unto was good news.“....... I hereby pronounce Mrs. Catherine Anderson.....not guilty.”As soon as I heard those wor

~~ Ace's POV ~~I didn't know for how long I stayed in the car as my head rested on my hands on the wheels. By the time I lifted my head to stare out the window, the sky had grown darker and the stars were gathered, glistening in its usual form.Brittany's car drove in, and she alighted gracefully with her phone placed on her left ear before the driver drove away to park properly in the lot. Through the shadows of the night, I could see her adjust her bag on her right arm, still chatting immensely with the other person over the phone. Although, I didn't hear what they were discussing.Her back was slightly turned against me, that only her left side was in view. I could barely see her face. She remained there for a while and didn't seem to notice my presence as she walked into the mansion. My eyes strained to keep her under watch until she was no longer in sight and I exhaled deeply.I clutched onto the wheels tight briefly and fixed the windows before stepping out as I headed into the

~~ Brittany's POV ~~“Brittany….” He called out, taking two steps closer as he continued, “I've always loved you. Right from the first day I met you in college, I was attracted by your beauty and as the days went by, you drew me closer with your charming personality. But I knew you didn't feel the same way, which was why I never bothered you and actually wanted to make you fall for me before confessing my feelings. Not until you left.” He paused for a brief moment, his knuckles clenching into tight fists, as if remembering the awful events in the past.“When you came back to the States, I was more than happy to see you again, but your goals of getting the company stood in the way. But, I wasn't willing to give up until you'd fall deep in love with me. Even deeper than what you feel for that heartbreaker of a husband.” He tried to close the space between us with slow, striding steps, but I involuntarily lifted my hands to stop him from getting any closer.I was completely in a daze as
