Bound By The CEO's Deal Chapter 34: Don't Flatter Yourself and Get Arrogant!
The lachrymose morning sunlight streamed through the glass windows, casting a warm, golden glow across the living room.Aiden snapped awake. The splitting headache from the night before had completely vanished, replaced by a strange, light, and refreshing clarity. But the moment his skin brushed against the soft silk under his cheek and his senses were filled with the faint, lingering scent of jasmine, he froze. Aiden realized he was still resting his head on Alma’s lap.For a fleeting second, he thought it was all just a wild, impossible dream. How could someone like him—accustomed to solitude, bearing the crushing darkness of a cruel twist of fate—deserve such a peaceful night? But the genuine warmth radiating from her body shattered his doubts. Memories of her cool hands and gentle whispers came rushing back, sending a powerful wave of emotion, mixed with a pang of heartache, surging through his chest.What caught his eyes now was Alma’s delicate face from an inverted perspective.
Bound By The CEO's Deal CHAPTER 33: Collisions Under the Penthouse Roof
The late afternoon sun filtered through the massive glass windows, bathing the space in a warm, golden halo. Alma sat by the windowsill, a familiar medical textbook resting on her lap. Thanks to a strict nutritional regimen and Aiden’s somewhat tyrannical protection, her complexion was noticeably rosier, no longer showing the frail look of her hospital days.Ding. The private elevator doors slid open.Aiden stepped out, his suit jacket draped casually over his arm and his tie loosened. Looking at the important legal dossier in his other hand, Nolan’s mocking report echoed in his mind: "All the procedures for Conal's breach of contract fine are wrapped up. Just as you calculated, the old fox completely believes his backdoor deal with Grand Horizon went off without a hitch..."Remembering Conal’s face, Aiden’s eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a cold, ruthless glint.But that icy sharpness quickly melted away the moment he looked up. Catching sight of the petite figure by the window
Bound By The CEO's Deal CHAPTER 32: The Lever of Vanity
Following his late-night rendezvous with the powerful figure steering Grand Horizon Group—the dominant titan of the South—Conal felt like a drowning man who had just managed to grasp a golden lifeline.By offering the core blueprints of the South Sea Project as bait, he had successfully secured a nod of cooperation from this new partner. However, the Southern faction’s sole condition for injecting the initial wave of capital was absolute and non-negotiable: if Conal wanted the money, he had to cut all economic ties and terminate every active contract with Power Group immediately.This mandate aligned perfectly with Conal’s own brewing malice. He had long grown sick of suffocating under the stringent, suffocating clauses imposed by Aiden Power.Believing he now stood on the unshakeable bedrock of Grand Horizon Group, his innate greed flared up once more. Conal decided to double-cross his opponent. The sheer terror that had forced him to agree to surrender his entire fortune while corne
Bound By The CEO's Deal CHAPTER 31: The New Rules of Coexistence
The private elevator doors slid open, revealing the vast, luxurious expanse of the penthouse. Alma couldn't help but gasp softly. Her emerald eyes widened slightly, a flicker of astonishment darting across their depths.The entire hallway, which had once been adorned with expensive decor—from antique ceramic vases to artistic sculptures—now stood completely bare. Everything had been cleared away, creating a spacious thoroughfare perfectly tailored for her wheelchair to glide through effortlessly without encountering a single obstacle.But what caused her chest to tighten slightly were the smallest details. The sharp edges of the coffee table and the imported marble TV console had all been wrapped in soft rubber bumpers, subtly matching the interior design with utmost sophistication. If one didn't look closely, an outsider would simply assume it was an original design feature, rather than a rushed modification completed in just a few short hours.Aiden didn't look at her, nor did he ca
Bound By The CEO's Deal CHAPTER 30: Peace for Alma and Turbulent Times for Conal
Thud.The car door slammed shut, completely swallowing the chaotic cacult of voices and the frenzied flashing of lights outside. The limousine began to roll forward slowly, perfectly soundproofed from the chaotic world they left behind.Inside the spacious, warm cabin, Aiden guided Alma onto the premium leather seat. He then leisurely stepped back, crossing his long legs with an arrogant air on the opposite side. With one hand, he loosened his tie; with the other, he decisively grabbed a cashmere blanket and tossed it straight onto her lap. It was a seemingly gruff gesture, but the blanket landed perfectly, snugly covering Alma’s legs, which were still trembling slightly from the cold."You were so loud and confident back in the lobby, so why do you look like a drowned cat now?" Aiden let out a cold, faint laugh, his deep voice dripping with mockery. He casually poured a glass of warm water from a thermos and pushed it toward her. "Drink up. Don’t you dare faint in my car, it’s a hass
Bound By The CEO's Deal CHAPTER 29: A Wretched Play
Screech... click.The doors of the private elevator slid open. The wheelchair rolled slowly across the polished granite floor of the VIP lobby, heading toward the glass doors. Just outside the threshold, Aiden’s limousine stood waiting, its engine idling, flanked by two bodyguards standing at strict attention.Just as Aiden was about to lean down and lift Alma into the car, two figures abruptly lunged out from a blind spot in the parking lot, breaching the security barrier."Alma! Alma, please save me, Alma!"Edna’s frantic shriek tore through the air. She had entirely stripped away her haughty facade; her hair was a disheveled mess, and her face was streaked with smudged makeup. Right behind her was a haggard Conal, wearing a crumpled suit, his eyes shot with blood. Both were instantly and decisively intercepted by Power Group’s security detail.Though pinned rudely to the ground, Edna still strained forward toward Alma, her voice trembling violently:"Alma, I beg you! Tell Mr. Power
Bound By The CEO's Deal CHAPTER 16: The Meal Before Fulfilling the Agreement
The door of the limousine slammed shut, its muffled thud completely severing the final link between them and the outside world. The moment the privacy glass separating them from the driver's cabin rolled up, the facade of the deeply devoted lovers from the hospital hallway shattered instantly.Just
Bound By The CEO's Deal CHAPTER 15: SUGAR-COATED POISON
The moment the nurse’s figure vanished behind the door, a suffocating silence enveloped the hallway. Edna and Conal stood frozen, enduring the ordeal with faces entirely drained of color.Amidst this frozen atmosphere, Alma decisively turned to Aiden. Her small, slightly trembling hand brushed agai
Bound By The CEO's Deal CHAPTER 14: PSEUDO-COMPASSION
"Call a lawyer for what?"Alma asked naively, her emerald eyes opening wide, crystal clear without a single trace of malice. She looked at Aiden, then at the couple standing frozen opposite them, her face still holding an innocent demeanor as if she had never been touched by the dust of the world.
Bound By The CEO's Deal CHAPTER 12: A Costly Protection
The stinging pain in his wrist from the stranger's ruthless shove turned Conal into a provoked beast. He stumbled, his expensive leather shoes screeching against the hospital floor before he regained his balance. Without even getting a clear look at the person who dared to interfere, he roared with
