Kingsley found his way to one of the rooms in the villa.

He sat down at the edge of the bed with his face buried in his palms.

The words of his father echoed in his ears “If you insist on marrying the woman you love,I sever all ties with you and you’ll no longer be the heir of this family.

I do not want to ever set my eyes on you.”

Then came again the words of Ella"You want me to marry you? I can't. I won't. You already have a bride waiting for you."

  • The CEO she never expected   Chapter 12

    Kourtney arrived at the Kingsley mansion and began pacing back and forth in Kingsley's room.Her restless movements soon caught Kingsley's attention.He walked over to her, concern evident on his face."Kourtney, why are you pacing? Is something wrong?"Kourtney bit her lower lip.Should I tell him what I heard? she wondered.If I tell him, this could be my chance. He'll inform Grandpa, Ella's marriage will fall apart, and maybe... just maybe... Kingsley will marry me instead.A smile almost crept onto her face.I'm so lucky.She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't realize Kingsley had called her name again."Kourtney!"She blinked and looked at him."Huh?""What are you thinking about?"She took a deep breath."Kingsley... there's something I need to tell you."He nodded, and the two of them sat on the edge of the bed."What is it?" he asked.Kourtney hesitated for a moment before speaking."Today, I overheard Ella talking to someone."Kingsley's expression became serious."W

    Mathew was standing outside one of the shops in the mall when he suddenly caught sight of Ella.His eyes widened in surprise. Her stomach was noticeably swollen, resembling that of a woman who was about four months pregnant.Excitement surged through him. He immediately assumed that Aiden was responsible for the pregnancy.He instinctively reached for his phone, intending to call Aiden and share the news. However, he paused and slipped the phone back into his pocket."No," he muttered to himself. "I need to hear the truth from her first."Determined to find out, Mathew walked toward Ella. As he approached, countless questions raced through his mind. The one he wanted answered most was simple:Who was responsible for the pregnancy?Mathew walked up to Ella, a smile spreading across his face."Hey, Ella. How have you been?"Ella turned and smiled politely."Hi, Mathew. I've been fine."His gaze dropped to her swollen belly, and his smile widened."Oh... you're pregnant.""Yes," Ella rep

I can't. I won't. You already have a bride waiting for you."He saw pain in her eyes,he saw jealousy but he can't act on that because she keeps pushing him away.Kingsley stood on his feets,he walked towards the long mirror hung on the wall.He looked into the mirror and saw a reflection of himself.He flickered his fingers across the mirror and said to himself aloud “I’m a man,I have riches,I have emotions and I won't let family dictate for me.I will marry whom I love and also makes sure my family approves this marriage.It is either Ella or no one.”Aiden paced nervously toward the bookshelf as th

    Back on the sofa, Aiden turned to face Ella."I heard everything he said," he admitted quietly."While I was caressing your thighs.""Uh...," Ella stammered, avoiding his gaze. "I think I've told you how badly I'm being treated in this marriage. It shouldn't come as a surprise.""It isn't," Aiden replied. "What I don't understand is why you still care about him. He treats you badly, yet you keep pushing me away."Ella looked down at her hands. "Well... we almost got caught.""I don't care if he catches us," Aiden said firmly as he pulled her closer."Ella, marry me. Please. Let me take care of you."Ignoring his plea, Ella reached for the remote control and switched the television to a news channel."You watch the news?" Aiden asked, surprised."Yes," Ella answered. "I like knowing what's happening in the country."The newscaster's voice suddenly filled the room."Aiden Robert, heir to the Robert family , is set to marry the daughter of another wealthy family. It seems the rich will a

    Ella returned from the hospital clutching the pregnancy results tightly against her chest. Every step she took into the grand Matthews villa felt heavier than the last. The doctor’s warning echoed inside her head like a curse. You must not have sex with your husband until you give birth. Any stress to the pregnancy could be dangerous. Her fingers trembled around the envelope. If Aiden found out the truth now, everything would fall apart. “Where have you been?” Aiden’s deep voice startled her so badly that the scan almost slipped from her hands. He stood at the bottom of the staircase, tall and intimidating in his black shirt, his sharp eyes already narrowing suspiciously. Ella forced a smile. “I just went out for some fresh air.” Aiden stepped closer. “Then why are you hiding something?” His gaze dropped to the papers behind her back. “N-nothing,” she stuttered. Before she could move, Aiden grabbed her waist and pulled her against his chest. “I’ve missed you.”

    “We have an auction tonight,” Kingsley said while adjusting the cuffs of his expensive suit. “Dress properly, Kourtney. Important people will be there.”Kourtney smiled instantly, already excited by the thought of luxury, cameras, and attention.Ella sat quietly across the room, pretending not to listen, though every word scraped against her nerves.Important people.Rich people.Fake people.She lowered her eyes to the untouched cup of tea in her hands.I won’t be here much longer anyway, she reminded herself.Nine months.That was the deal she had made with herself.Carry the child. Survive the marriage.Leave quietly.Simple.At least, it was supposed to be.By evening, the Wilfred ballroom glittered like royalty had descended upon it. Crystal chandeliers bathed the massive hall in golden light while politicians, billionaires, celebrities, and socialites filled the room with laughter and expensive perfume.Ella stood beside Kingsley like a decoration rather than a wife.Kingsley b

    “What are you doing here?” Ella whispered sharply as she stared at the callboy. “And why are you even putting on a mask?”The ballroom lights shimmered against the black mask covering half of his face. Around them, the music had faded into nervous murmurs as guests watched the strange scene unfold.

    Aiden held Kingsley’s wrist effortlessly, his expression hidden beneath the mask.The entire balcony fell silent.Ella stared at him in shock.The callboy!.What is he doing here?, everything was going through Ella's thought.The tension in the air became suffocating.“What the hell?” Kingsley barke

    Ella sat stiffly in the front seat while the city lights blurred past the windows. Behind her, Kourtney and Kingsley were tangled together, laughing between kisses like she didn’t even exist.“Ella,” Kingsley suddenly called. “Kourtney’s birthday is next week.”“So?
