Lahat ng Kabanata ng Reckless CEO One Night Stand : Kabanata 91 - Kabanata 100

Mary's POV I left the Brown mansion before the sun was fully up as I was eager to step out of the suffocating place. Reid was already gone. Sylvia told me he left at 5 AM for a business trip. I didn’t want to see him anyway. The car ride to MarRod Group felt strange. It was the only company I had left that I planned to give to Danny a few days ago. It had been years since I had been to the company, when I was still in a fake marriage with Rodney. Now? Things had changed. Part of me missed the less attention I used to get when I lived a simple and affordable life with Rodney heading the company. The car stopped in front of the tall glass building. I took a deep breath and stepped out. The moment I walked through the revolving doors, whispers started coming from different angles "That’s her..." "Mary Sampson." "She married Reid Brown yesterday..." I kept my head high and ignored them all. The elevator ride to the top floor felt endless and when the doors opened, everything

Mary's POV A whole week had passed since that awful night in Reid’s study. It had been seven days since I signed that ridiculous contract, seven days since he dropped the bombshell about fertility treatments. And seven blissful days without seeing his face. Sylvia told me he had left for a business trip to Italy the morning after our argument. She had been extra chatty as she was trying to fill me in on all of Reid’s habits. From how he used to travel often and how he hated gatherings to how he sometimes disappeared for weeks. If only she knew that I didn’t care, the less I saw of my so-called husband, the better. The mansion felt different without him here. I felt happier and the maids smiled more. They were freer and more jovial. Reid's presence was clearly making the environment tense and authoritative. I even caught some of the staff gossiping about his strictness while they worked. It was funny how one man’s presence was sucking all the joy out of a place. I spent my days

Mary's POV The car finally drove into the gates of the Brown mansion after what felt like forever. My whole body had become tense as I had sat so stiffly next to Reid all the way to avoid having anything to do with him. As soon as the car stopped, I reached for the door handle to get out as fast as I could, away from the tension between us. I had planned to run to my room and lock the door. But Reid was quicker, he caught me off guard grabbed me on my wrist. His grip wasn’t painful but it was firm. I gasped as I couldn’t pull away or move. "Let go!" I yelled but he ignored. The driver opened Reid’s door. He stepped out and pulled me so hard that I stumbled a little in my heels. But Reid’s arm was already around my waist to steady me before I could trip. He walked us toward the house while his arm remained like an iron band around me. The front door opened as we were about to reach it and the night staff bowed their heads as we entered. Reid didn’t stop in the foyer, he just ke

Mary's POV The business meeting with Griffith Industries had dragged on for hours and my back was already aching. The stiff boardroom chair was not helping at all. I barely got enough sleep last night as Reid had successfully managed to fill my head with his thoughts and fantasies. Inside my head, he was getting to me and tormenting me which I hated. My head ached as I kept listening to numbers and watching projections. I needed a break. Not just a break but a long comfortable one. I just wanted the meeting to be over. Finally, the CEO, Andy Griffith, stood up. "Thank you all for your time. We’ll reconvene next week." I didn't even understand what was going on, I was just thankful that my assistant was here to take notes. I would run through everything at a convenient time before making my decisions. People started leaving and I also started packing the papers in a file. I was eager to leave the place and return to the comfort of my office. "Mary." I looked up and saw that i

AUTHOR'S POV Reid stormed out of Mary’s room with his blood boiling. He couldn't believe that Danny could lay his hands on his wife. Pulling out his phone, he dialed the number of his head of security, Alvin. "Find Danny Williams for me!" he growled the moment the call connected. "I don’t care where he is, just bring him to me." He hung up before Alvin could respond as his hands had already clenched into fists at his sides. The urge to break all the bones in Danny's body and to shatter his pretty-boy face to make sure he would never touch Mary again. He might have been doing that to Mary when she was married to him but not now that she was his, he no longer had the right to even look at her. Reid himself believed that he wasn’t even supposed to fall for Mary, it was never part of his plan but he hated seeing her suffer. He knew that she deserved someone better, someone that isn’t him or Danny. Mary wasn’t supposed to mean anything to him but after that night when Danny left he
