All Chapters of THE COLD CEO UNKNOWN HEIR: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The bright morning light seeped into the room through the windows, and to my face, I could feel myself waking up, but before I completely did, the thought of last night came strolling through my mind, causing a soft grin to form. It felt good and at the same time, it felt like that was all I needed.I brushed my hands through the other side of the bed, from up to down, but it felt weird, either Ethan was lying way too far from me, or he wasn't even on the bed. I furrowed my brows in confusion, my eyes still shut tight.Instantly, I sprang off the bed and sat up, and before me was Ethan, standing at the balcony with his hands resting behind him. He was already dressed in his suit, probably waiting to say goodbye to me before he leaves for the office.I couldn't help but let the smile linger on my face, the memory from yesterday kept replaying and replaying in my head. Ethan wanted a night of intimacy with me, which meant he clearly still had a burning flame of affection for me deep in

PIPER'S POVIt's been weeks since Ethan kicked me out, and not even a word have I heard from him, nor have I seen him around, nor has he replied to the mockery and insensitive comments I was getting from the media.At the same time, it's been quite a while since I met Mr. Mysterious, and we still haven't crossed paths since then. The money I stole from myself had been sustaining me up to this point. After the night at the hotel, I was back to sleeping in the subway or abandoned stores and taking naps on benches in the park.Life only grew worse; I was still unable to find a job, and it seemed like I had already caught the flu. I walked into the pharmacy, and all eyes were on me. The whispers increased, but only reduced when I got to the counter."I'll need medication for a flu and a fever maybe." I ordered." Okay, I'll be right back." The cashier turned over to the shelves, searching for the drugs I requested, whereas I held my head in my hands when I started to feel very, very dizzy

Chapter 15PIPER'S POVI glared at the pills in my hands before throwing them all down my throat at once. I grabbed the glass of water on the side table and gulped at least half of it. I had escaped my breath and there came a knock on the door.The door was pushed open slightly ajar with Ms. Anna's head sticking out through the side, "Breakfast is ready." She announced to me with a smile." I'm right behind you," I responded. The day I traveled by bus to Howell's township, Anna gave me an offer which I strongly believe can change my life henceforth, she even offered to let me stay with her in her small house till I'm able to get a place for myself. I had never been to her boutique, but with how many calls she takes and how busy she usually is, I'd say she's doing really well for herself. I didn't really know much about her, like whether she's married or has any kids at all, but life seemed pretty peaceful.I didn't tell her the full story behind my dilemma, nor did I tell her about

PIPER'S POVWhat is he doing here? I muttered under my breathe, "Sorry excuse me--" I said and immediately turned around to get the door but he stopped me, "Hold on!" He ordered. His baritone sending vibrations down my spine."We've met before haven't we?!" He tilted his head to the right, starrinf at me like I was some weird specimen, his eyes squinted as he got up from his seat and walked towards me, "I know you.""Er... Sir... I ... I don't know what you're talking about." My voice broke as I spoke, the first thing that came to mind was to deny my existence. He kept coming closer one step at a time and In return I kept moving backwards, one step at a time to, bit unfortunately my back hit against the door and there was nowhere to run to.He leaned in placing his hands against the wall, "You're the lady from that night."Immediately those words slipped off his lips, my heart sank into my belly and rose back into my chest with full speed, "Sir... I ..." It felt as though my tongue

Chapter 19PIPER’s POVA moment after I stepped out of the shower, there came a light knock on the door, when I hurried to get it, the person standing behind it got to it before I could and the head of one of the maids appeared by the side of the door, “Miss Piper, it’s time for dinner.” She announced to me.“Oh,” a wide smile appeared on my face, the sides of my eyes crinkling. I figured Mr. Landon— Jace took things like this very seriously. “I’ll be down in a minute,” I said to her, clutching the towel wrapped around my waist tightly.As soon as she made her way out, I leaned against the door and exhaled sharply as my eyes travelled around this large bedroom, admiring every single bit of the room and once again, my hands and my eyes fell to my very little baby bump and I rubbed against it before heading to change into something nice for dinner.By the time I made it down the stairs heading to the dining room, I already spotted Jace seated at the table right in front of a bunch of fo
