All Chapters of My CEO Is My Cure: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Fortunately, Ethan and Charlotte weren't paying attention to Athena at that moment. During the brief instant when Athena and Julian locked eyes across the ballroom, neither of them noticed.Even so, Athena didn't dare hold his gaze with so many people around. She quickly looked away and turned her attention elsewhere.A faint shadow passed through Julian's eyes. He hadn't expected to run into her at an otherwise dull and predictable wedding reception.That evening, Athena wore an ivory gown, and her hair was swept into an elegant updo. Her light makeup accentuated her delicate features, making her look both breathtakingly beautiful and effortlessly pure.She had clearly intended to keep a low profile, but her striking beauty and quiet elegance still drew the attention of many men at the reception, Julian included.The only problem was that another man stood at her side.It was the first time Julian had seen Athena with Ethan. Even without an introduction, he immediately guessed t

Liam didn't even finish speaking before Julian's fist crashed into his face.Caught completely off guard, Liam was knocked flat onto the ground.Everything happened so quickly that Athena barely had time to react. Before she realized what was happening, Julian had already seized her wrist."Come with me." His handsome face was cold and commanding, and his tone left no room for argument.He wrapped a firm arm around her slender waist and guided her away without another word.Liam remained sprawled on the ground, staring after them in stunned disbelief.Wasn't Julian supposed to have no interest in women? Yet today, he'd taken away the woman who had practically been within Liam's grasp.Even so, there was nothing Liam could do. This was Julian Sterling. Liam genuinely feared him and had no way to retaliate....Julian led Athena out of the hotel.She instinctively struggled. "You can... let go of me now."Julian loosened his hold, and the soft body in his arms slipped free at

Julian lifted his gaze to her. "Did it feel good?"Athena yanked her hand back as though she'd been electrocuted. Heat flooded her cheeks as she stammered, "I-I'm sorry!"Julian looked at her with dark, unreadable eyes. His expression remained relaxed, almost lazy. "You took the chance to cop a feel, and I'm not even blushing. So why are you?"Athena's mind went completely blank. She rushed to explain, "I didn't mean to touch you!"She had only been trying to get off his lap. The more flustered she became, the clumsier she got, and she'd accidentally touched him there.Julian arched a brow, his gaze growing more suggestive."It's not like this is the first time you've touched me. Even if you did it on purpose, I wouldn't mind..." He leaned in until his warm breath brushed against her skin.A shiver ran through Athena. Like a startled kitten, she sprang off his lap.Her addiction still hadn't faded. How was she supposed to withstand him teasing her like this?But she'd moved to

Athena never expected karma to come so quickly.She was already married to Ethan, yet her sister had continued seeing him, spending nights with him instead of coming home. Now that Olivia was finally married, her own husband had started disappearing on her as well.For the first time, Olivia experienced what it felt like to be abandoned by her husband.Charlotte, however, clearly couldn't accept it. She spent the entire night criticizing Adam over the phone, listing one grievance after another.That night, Olivia was ignored by her newlywed husband. Athena's husband also stayed out all night, leaving Charlotte so distraught that she couldn't sleep and cried until dawn.When Athena woke the next morning, the first thing she saw was a flood of online news about how Adam had humiliated Olivia at their wedding reception the night before.Some netizens angrily condemned Adam for failing to act like a husband, accusing him of abandoning his wife on the very day they got married.Other

Julian's dark eyes locked onto Athena. "Then if I ask you to come to my place tonight, will you?"Athena's mind reeled, her thoughts spinning until they threatened to overwhelm her.He wanted her to go to his place tonight? What exactly did he mean by that?She parted her lips, ready to respond.Just then, Julian's phone rang.He answered it, and a familiar male voice came through the speaker. "There's a yacht party tonight. Don't forget to come!""I'm not going," Julian replied without a moment's hesitation."You're skipping it again? Seriously?" Adam sounded genuinely exasperated. "I've invited you eight or ten times lately, and you haven't shown up once. What have you been so busy with?""Work has kept me tied up lately. I don't have the time. Besides, you just got married. You should rein yourself in a little," Julian answered in his usual calm, deep voice.Adam scoffed. "I never even wanted to get married in the first place. Besides, Olivia and I aren't compatible at all.
