Arranged Marriage With The CEO CHAPTER 183
—CHRISTIAN—I was speedily typing an e-mail on my laptop when suddenly my phone started ringing and I turned to glance at the screen as it was placed on the beside table. My fingers paused as I took a look at the caller ID. “ Turn it off!!” A muffled voice from beside me yelled at me and I silenced the call before pressing the send button on the laptop and the placed it on the bedside table closing it. Turning back, I focused on my lazy ass wife who couldn't find a way out of her sleep even after past 9:00 in the morning. “ Do you plan on sleeping all day?” I asked, pushing the hair back from her face that had covered my beautiful view. “ I don't feel like getting up.” “ As you wish. I thought I would bake cupcakes for you, but it's okay.” She was sitting straight on the bed before even I completed my words. I shook my head with an amused scoff. “ You are always hungry.” I fixed her hair from looking like a cheap Halloween ghost with all the hair covering her face. My white sh

—JENNIFER—I snuggled further into my pillow as Christian called out my name from the kitchen. “ Get out of the bed, Jennifer. You are really testing my patience now.” His faked angry voice had snorting and I pulled the blanket over my head also. I was really stunned how a week has already passed and it was again the doctor seeing day. “Arghh!” I whined, hearing another yell of my name before loudly thumping footsteps that approached the room. “ I swear I won't even give the chance to change your clothes if you don't leave the bed in a three seconds.” Living with him for the past two weeks had told me a lot about him. So without even wasting a one second, I jumped out of the bed and stood straight on the floor facing him. “ Why are you so cruel.” I sighed, defeated. He walked up towards the cupboard and came back with clothes in his hand for me. He pointed toward the bathroom aggressively and I snatched the clothes from him before scurrying off. “ Careful!” He yelled behind m

—JENNIFER—“Jennifer! I know you’re in there. Open up!”Oh no.I buried my face in my silk pillowcase, hoping the voice would go away, but knowing its owner, she would campout in my hall until I inevitably had to leave for fresh air and food.My morning visitor was nothing if not persistent.“Mrs Jennifer Wingsley Brown! You can’t hide from me.” A pause, followed by a more conciliatory, “I have brought chocolate muffins for you.” A groan escaped into my pillow. That was something I've always been unable to deny. I should have already talked to Christian and get Cally removed from my list of approved visitors, but I also hadn’t expected her to beat down my door at…I raised my head and glanced at the digital clock…seven fifty-four in the morning.Since she was already here and the chances of her leaving without seeing me were slim, I forced myself out ofbed and in the living area because Christian had to leave for the office for a few hours. Not before leaving a gaurd at my door for
Arranged Marriage With The CEO CHAPTER 186
—JENNIFER—Rest of the day was spent with Mom Dad as they mom cooked my favourite food and we chatted for a few hours, catching with my mystery life, until it was four thirty in the evening. I would’ve stayed longer, but I needed to get ready for the fundraiser. I was already cutting it close; when I gothome, I had just under two hours before Christian was supposed to pick me up. A wave of nerves crashed against my insides and drowned out the lingering melancholy from my visit with mom and dad. Tonight would be my first time spending an entire evening with Christian in the public as his wife.Even though I had been stalling with thoughts erupting in my head about me being an embarrassment for him anyway, they still didn't left me for a second. I turned on the shower and stepped beneath the spray of hot water, trying not to panic too much at what lay ahead of me.Christian Brown was just a man.Not a king, even if he was richer than one, and not a God, even if he looked like one.

—JENNIFER—I sucked into a breath when I realised what exactly he was trying to say. When I didn't budge from my place due to a battle going inside me over if I should do it or not, he mouthed ‘Com'on’ and I found myself walking towards him. Thankfully his legs were getting into the way to keep me at safe distance from him as I started working his tie with shaking hands. His closeness always does stupid things to me. His eyes were fixated on my face while I tried my best to not look up and focused on the tie. I could hardly reach his neck, partly because of his height which was even more now because of him sitting on the table and partly because of his legs. But for me, it was like a blessing because I could stay at a safe distance. I didn't needed him to hear how fast my hear can beat when I'm close to him. With my trembling hands I focused on his tie.“Calm down Princess!! you aren't defusing a bomb. It's just a tie.“ He said, holding my shaking hands while opening his legs. Cle

—CHRISTIAN—Black has always been my favourite colour.Silent. Deadly. Impenetrable.I felt at home in it, like shadows merging with the inky wells of night. Yet in the span of a second, she’d upended that as she had every other thing in my life since the day I crossed paths with her. Heat poured through my blood as Jennifer walked in front of me and slowly turned, taking in the lavish decor. The museum’s long-running elephant display served as a thirteen-foot-tall centrepiece while projections of marinelife danced on the walls, giving the illusion that we were underwater. Black-clad servers circulated with champagne and hors d’oeuvres, and a stage sat at the far side of the room, waiting for the host to climb on and congratulate everyone on how much money they’d raised at the end ofthe night.The seats for this event were eight thousand dollars a pop.I’d spent more than that on her dress, and it’d been worth every cent.“This is beautiful,” Jennifer breathed, her attention rest
Arranged Marriage With The CEO CHAPTER 189
—CHRISTIANJennifer is the type of person who had a smile and kind words for everyone and would give someone the shirt off her back.The vicious undercurrent of my conversation with Rapheal was probably as foreign to her as a selfless charity was to me. I could only imagine how she’d react if she discovered some of the things I’d done in my basement. Not that she ever would.There were some things she could never know.The warmth from her palm radiated up my arm and eased some of the black, restless energy churning in my chest.It felt wrong to touch her when I was this on edge, like my darkness would seep through my touch and devour herlight.I forced myself to dial back the hostility, if only for her sake. I didn’t want to taint our first public event together as it is for her. Still, I couldn’t resist a final dig at Rapheal. “You might want to brush up on your security system though.” I took a languorous sip of my drink. “Sometimes,the greatest threat to a company isn’t exte
Arranged Marriage With The CEO CHAPTER 190
—CHRISTIAN— We chatted for a few minutes longer before Benjamin’s wife came up to us. She and Jennifer instantly struck up a rapport and drifted off on their own conversation, leaving me and Benjamin to discuss business. He listened to me make the case for why he needed to invest in brown empires, but he interrupted me before I could make an official pitch. “I know why you came, Christian, and it’s not for the baby turtles. Not that I would tell my wife that. She was thrilled when you RSVPed yes.” Benjamin cast an affectionate glance at his wife, who was talking to the ambassador from Eldorra. My shoulders stiffened. Where the hell is Jennifer? She’d been talking to Benjamin’s wife just ten minutes ago. My eyes scanned the room, but I didn’t find her before Benjamin spoke again. “My phone has been ringing off the hook with offers since I started searching for a new company to invest in. And I know the worth of Brown empire” He held up a hand when I opened m
