All Chapters of A Ceo's Sin, A Hidden Heir: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

★★★★Jamie paused, his cheek brightened with satisfaction because he could see Edith's hand tremble on the doorknob."You can challenge me again. But sadly, the world will see how desperate you were. Maybe you will get more business after that," Jamie added lightly without caring how it would feel to Edith."You-are-a-fucking-bastard!" Edith snapped, turning around as she rushed to him. The smirk on his lips stabbed her pride and heart, making her feel she should never have had the heart.She raised her hand to slap Jamie for his foul word, but her hand was grabbed in mid-air. Her eyes streaked red in anger as they locked gaze with him."You dare," Jamie snarled, glaring down at Edith. "I can break this hand off if I can. Still, I am showing mercy to the slave. You know what your resistance is exciting my urge to bring disaster to the people you love," he spat on her face, then in a swift move, he twirled her around.Now he held her chin in his hand and his other hand circled her wais

★★★ He stared at her for a second with fury flashing in his gaze, then he picked up his phone and pressed it to his ear. "Jason, arrange a pair of trousers immediately. As fast as possible, if it can be done in seconds, even better." "Trouser? Boss, I am not sure I follow, what kind of trousers do you want me to arrange?" Jason replied. "Just get a damn pair of women's trousers. I am not explaining this any further," Jamie barked into the phone before cutting the call, his temper flaring as he tossed the phone down onto the table with a thud. Edith retreated from the desk, her movement stiff, and sank into the chair she had shoved back moments ago. There was an overwhelming silence in the room. It only dragged Edith's thoughts back to that sudden uninvited kiss. A part of her wanted to speak, demand answers, to warn him that he had crossed a line he never should have. But instinct held her. Suddenly her phone rang. Her gaze shifted toward the sound, and that's when she noticed h

★★ "Yes I was there... but why do you ask?" Martha asked a faint trace of confusion threading through her voice "It's nothing important," he said lightly, " I just happened to notice a couple of pieces of clothing there, looked like trousers. So I teased my brother about you. He refused to say a word," a faint chuckle followed. "Just in jest, nothing serious. By the way, both of you did surprise us with the early engagement date. Jamie, in particular, seems quite pleased.” Although it should have been a moment for Martha to feel happy- and even a little proud of herself. But there was only one thought running through her mind: trousers She had to ask, "Wait a second. Did you mention the trousers? "Yes, I did!" Markrum replied. " I wasn't wearing any trousers when I went to the office. So whose pieces of trousers did you find?" Martha asked anxiously, the thought clearly unsettling. "Oh!" Markrum sounded surprised too, "Maybe I was mistaken, I might have seen it wrong. Anyway let

★★★☆"It will be a waste of time if she is in the audition room," Susan said, flipping the pages of the book. "You have never been worried this much about your mom before- so what's different today? It's not like this is the first time she is out this late because of work.""I don't know," Peter replied. "I know I am probably overthinking. But I really feel like something isn't right.""It's okay. This place, and you're new, that's why you are feeling like this. Don't worry she will come home safe. Let's wait a little longer, and if she still doesn't return, I will call her," Susan said turning her head toward the figure as she closed the book, a small smile playing on her lips."Okay, Aunt. How about we go out for a bit - take a walk? It might help me get my mind off mom, and we can explore the place too," Peter suggested gently, not showing too much desperation... otherwise his request might get rejected again. Sitting at home was starting to bore him.Susan looked at him for a mome

★★★★★"Jamie and I are not related by blood. Our father married my mother after an unfortunate event took place with Jamie's mother. So, here is the first reason why he is given priority," Markrum said, looking at Elena. "And he handled business when he was very young, making him more compatible to sit in the chair. I am not asking for that position from him but if I want to learn I think people should give me a chance instead of making me feel low and inferior."He exhaled after that."That is all. I am trying to do something by myself without thinking of competing with Jamie for something that does not belong to me," he pursed his lips as he ended."Not belong to you!?" Elena blinked in confusion, "It was your dad too. The thought you made in your head is completely absurd. No one can do business unless they start to venture into it.""Let it be! As I said I will do something else for myself. Now I feel a little guilty about making you my wife," Markrum paused, his eyes lowered, whi
