THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 73
Riella's POV. The hall was very large. I couldn't decide if I was to call it a hall or an auditorium but the moment I and Harold walked in, we caught the attention of most people in the room. I heard murmurs from corners, some people saying beneath their breath and still trying not to be too subtle that he isn't the son of Raegan and Paul Williams. I noticed Harold tensed when he heard those but he managed to lead me away from there, jaw ticking.I couldn't decide or wrap my head around how to describe the intricate designs and color the whole room was wrapped in but it had a tinge of coziness, one that had me relaxing. Around me, wealthy people moved around, talking in groups and all of that. I recognized some of them as Harold business associates. At one point, I looked down at my dress, grateful that I was not below standards. I wouldn't have cared if it wouldn't affect Harold's reputation. Someone approached us, a tall muscular man with spiky and sandy blonde hair. He had this

Riella's POV.I turned off the faucet, taking my precious time to do even the smallest thing. I was aware of her walking toward me, taking short and stealthy strides like she wanted to infuse fear in me. Unluckily for her, she wasn't getting me. Not now, not ever.I grabbed the roll of paper towels around me and used them to clean my hands dry. Still, I didnt turn toward her even when I knew that she was right behind me, her breath tracing the skin on my neck. Once I was satisfied with my hands. I grabbed my purse and checked the time on my phone. It was a little later than I expected it to be.“What do you want, Alice?” That was the moment I threw the question at her, eyeing her discreetly even though she was not seeing my face. I knew she was going to be mad that I was turning my back to her while talking. She scoffed and I imagined her tugging at her hair because I knew that was what girls like her do. Predictable little things. I'd seen enough of them in college. I fought back my

Harold's POV“Thank you, Doctor.” I muttered to the female doctor as she packed up her things. She barely spared me a glance as she nodded, her eyes fixed in utter concentration on what she was doing. I sighed and looked away from her to the lady lying on the bed. My gaze landed on the sides of her hip, the particular one which had been stabbed last night. I drank in her sight, feeling anger well up in my veins. What if Samantha hadn't found her? What would have become of her? That one question couldn't stop ringing in my brain. I had no idea what this was about. I didn't even understand where all these were going but I knew that it was getting out of hand. The whole issue was going to run me mad.I dug a hand into my hair, tousling the curly strands just as Doctor Carly finished packing up. She was here last night and here today. But now she was leaving on the promise that Riella would be fine. Thankfully, whoever had stabbed her had been in a haste. So, the knife hadn't dug deep. B
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 76
Riella's POV.I let out a soft moan as Harold cradled my face in his hands, nibbling down on my lower lip. I didn't know why I was this turned on over that simple affection. I think it was because I was not used to it.I felt my body grow hot when his warm large hands started to reach under my top. I wasn't wearing anything underneath, so it made it easier for him to access my skin. His hands trailed down in circles and I shifted, angling my body in such a way that he had access to it.His hand worked up my body and soon, it descended on one of my breast and he groped it softly, reaching down to tease the already hard nipples. I moaned, and he stopped kissing me as his eyes flashed with desires. “You like that baby?” He asked, smiling down at me with this devilish glint that made my insides ache.I nodded eagerly as he tweaked the nipples, sending shock waves through the length of my body. My brain was screaming that this was a terrible idea. It must have come in at that moment that a

Riella's POV.I woke up in the morning feeling a little sore down there. We had gone on to have sex twice before dawn. I didn't even bother putting on my clothes after that. As I rolled out of bed, I felt my body protest about having to get up like that. I think I was becoming lazy these days. Every little task and I became drained. As I climbed down from the bed, I felt the pain in my hip shoot up my spine and I let out a cry, holding quickly to the spot. Maybe sleeping in wasn't a bad idea but I had a job to do.My stomach rumbled as I walked stark naked to the bathroom. It was probably protesting like the rest of my body was but I couldn't comply with it. As I filled up my bath, I remembered the half empty wine bottle I had seen at my bedside table earlier. Harold must have had it when he woke up earlier. I woke up in the middle of the night and found him beside me, working on his laptop. That was before the second round.After filling up the bathtub and having my nostrils sniff th

Riella's POV.“So, what do you think?” Carolyn asked as she stepped into my room, donning the dress she had picked out for the event.I blinked, my brain mentally dead as I took in the whole of her. As usual, she was dressed to kill and impress in that cream-colored mid-thigh dress she was donning so prettily.“Riella,” she groaned as strolled further into the room, hands massaging her forehead in frustration. I hoped she would not ruin her makeup. “We talked about this.” One of her hands rested on her hip as she glared at me.“I'm not going anywhere, Lyn.” I grabbed one of my pillows and muffled my scream into it. It was the day of Harold's engagement party. Things had gone pretty awkward and formal between us ever since that day. It was even a lot worse than it was before. I had not stopped thinking, not stopped thinking about a lot of things.And amid everything came the hurt. The deep hurt and regret. Maybe I shouldn't have crossed the emotional line.I should never have. I knew w
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 79
Riella's POV.I laughed quietly as Carolyn smacked Tyler's hands after he teased her. We had just arrived and walked into the party without a bother about who was watching us. We had Tyler with us anyway. No one would bother us.Tyler made a joke about Carolyn's dress, something about her wanting to catch the eyes of every male in the room and she feigned being offended. Tyler started teasing her which resulted in the tiny smacks she was giving him. They were both so naturally cute, they didn't even have to try. I particularly admired how easily they flowed with each other without care. They didn't have to tell me anything to know that their relationship was now official since Carokyn was excited to introduce him to our parents. They were going to love him.“Stop being such a baby, Lyn.” I joined in the teasing as I stuck my tongue at her. It didn't matter that we were at someone else's engagement party. As far as I knew, none of us was concerned or bothered.The engagement party just
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 80
HAROLD'S POV.I couldn't sleep.I couldn't bring myself to shut my eyes as I laid down in bed next to a peaceful Brittany. It was the closest I had seen her at peace. She was regularly always running her mouth and yarning about things I was genuinely not interested in. But now, I was officially engaged with her and would have to deal with all of that for the rest of my life. I could almost feel the thousand and one headaches that would come in.I threw the covers off me and climbed out of bed. I grabbed my black robe and slipped it on as well as my slippers. I walked toward the balcony and grabbed the wine I had placed on the center table. The glass table was positioned in the middle of the set of couches I had set up at one end. I grabbed the wine and poured myself a glass before I continued my journey to the balcony.As I walked in, the natural air blew at me and I could immediately feel myself relax. The rooms in the house had air cons positioned around it that it was almost imposs
