A COLD HEARTED CEO IS OBSESSED WITH ME - CHAPTER 31&32

••••
(Wife, it’s all yours)

“Is there any other thing that needs to be discussed?” Ares finally spoke.

The board members shook their heads. The meeting was immediately dismissed and the couple were the first to leave the room.

Ares held Brittany’s arm but in a gentle and careful manner. He took her to his office and closed the door behind them.

“Brittany, you shouldn’t have done that,” Ares said, scolding her.

“I went too far but she deserved it, you’ve worked so hard for everything. She deserves nothing from you, especially with the way treats you.”Brittany said softly.

” Who gave you all that information? “Ares asked.

” It doesn’t matter, I don’t know what she has done to you but you’ve got to stop being a coward and defend yourself. You will only overcome your fear, the moment you face it” Brittany advised and smiled at him.

Ares thought they would argue but things turned out better than he expected.

“Thank you” Ares replied and heaved a sigh of relief. He was so bothered and shocked by the previous situation, he felt so much gratitude to her for standing up for him.

“You can thank me in other ways” Brittany smirked at him.

“With a kiss?”

The smirk on her lips vanished and she frowned; “No!, with a smack on your head.”

She scoffed and walked to the couch in the office, she looked around the office and it was luxurious.

“You own it as well” Ares said and she looked at him.

“What?” Brittany asked, not understanding his words.

Since she got no reply from him, she pouted her lips and said; “If you want to thank me then get me a box of chicken pizza and chilled soft drinks.”

He had never met a woman so real like her, other women would have asked for a car or something. She was so humble.

Brittany snapped her fingers to call him back from his trance-like state.

“Do it now,” She pouted.

Ares nodded and went to his seat, he quickly called his secretary and ordered what Brittany requested for.

“Done,” Ares smiled at her. “Do you want to watch a movie as well?” Ares asked.

“Yes,” Brittany nodded.

Ares asked her to bring her phone and he paid a Netflix and Amazon prime video subscription for three years.

She was stunned by it and equally happy.

“Thanks” Brittany said and walked back to the couch, she glanced at him and a thought came to her mind.

‘Was he really changing or is this just a show?’

She began watching movies and also ate when her order arrived while Ares worked. Hours passed and Brittany was surprised that he still had eyes on his computer.

“Can I help with anything?”

Ares darted his gaze at her and nodded in response.

Brittsny stood up and walked up to him. She went over to his table and stood by his side.

“Between these two earring designs, which is more beautiful?” Ares questioned and pointed at the screen.

“Did you draw these?” a surprised question was thrown at him.

“Yes but I simply want your opinion on which would be part of the pieces I launch” Ares smiled.

Brittany stared at it for some seconds and replied.

“I love the one on the right,” Brittany grinned and pointed at it.

Ares chuckled; ” Same one on my mind, wife.”

His words made Brittany smile more broadly.

Ares glanced at her and his eyes went to her chest since she was bending slightly, her cleavages showed.

She noticed what he was looking at and frowned at him.

“Pervert!” Brittany yelled and stood straight before covering her B-__-bs. She tried slapping his head but he tried biting her.

“Ah!, what’s wrong with you?” She pursed her lips but then her lips spread into a wicked smile. “You think you can bite, huh?”

Brittany suddenly grabbed his hand and bit it.

“Ahhh!!!” Ares screamed and tried pushing her head but her teeth were stuck. “Vampire!!!, someone help!”

Aaliyah, who was outside, heard them and laughed.

“These newlyweds can’t keep their voice down while doing it” Aaliyah chuckled.

Carson was driving when he recalled Jared, his heart wrenched but the immense pain worsened when he remembered what Danica did.

(Flashback)

Danica pushed him away from her and frowned.

“I don’t know what you are saying but please stop coming to me. I appreciate you for saving me that day but I really don’t want to see you” Danica said and walked away.

She took the black card from her bag which was laying on the couch and went to give it to him.

“I don’t need this, give it to someone who does” Danica said, she put the card in his front pocket then shut the door in his face.

He felt strange but he didn’t blame her, it was what he deserved.

Danica thought she had gotten rid of him and went to sleep peacefully but her night was ruined yet again by another nightmare.

She always had these nightmares and they were haunting, her past was haunting.

She ran from it but it seemed to be finding her almost every night. Different nightmares with the same person, it was terrifying.

“No,” Danica said restlessly, her body shaking on the bed. Sweat was dripping from her body and soaking her clothes.

“No ooo!!!” She cried out.

“It’s okay,calm down”

She heard the voice and big arms wrapped around her, she was so scared that she pulled away and kicked the person aggressively from the bed.

“Ahhh!!!” Danica screamed and went to turn on the light quickly.

She looked to see Carson who was standing from the floor.

“You??”

Anger was an understatement to what she felt. She pushed him out of her room and yelled terribly at him.

“How did you get in?!”

“What do you want from me? Why can’t you leave me alone!” Danica yelled, breathing heavily.

Carson ignored her yelling and brought out the necklace that used to belong to him which he had given Jared.

“You should wear this anytime you sleep, it always helps with nightmares” Carson smiled at her and walked closer to her.

“Take it”

Danica glared irritatedly at him and snatched the necklace. She threw it on the floor and began stepping on it in anger.

“I don’t need you cheap accessories, just get the f’ck out!” Danica shouted and pointed at the door.

She saw that he refused to leave, so she picked up the necklace and went to dump it in the trash can.

“Get out and never come back or I swear that I will not hold back, out!”

Carson was so hurt by what she did, that necklace meant a lot to him. He would ki|| anyone who tampered with that necklace but it was her. He couldn’t.

He walked away dejectly…

(End of flashback)

Carson got to Rosalie’s house and was allowed in by her.

He pushed aside his thoughts and decided to concentrate on his mission.

“Ares and Brittany are still alive and I’ve asked you and your boss to refund my money but you haven’t!” Rosalie yelled, she doubled his money that night he shot at them.

She wanted to say another thing but Carson brought out his gun and immediately shot her in the heart.

Rosalie dropped to the floor, dead.

Taylor’s mansion>>

Brittany and Ares got home late. They had dinner brought to their room by the maid.

After the silent dinner, Brittany went to freshen up before changing into her nightgown. She looked so ?ëx¥ in the maroon colored nightgown.

“You look gorgeous” Ares complimented her.

Brittany would have felt uncomfortable before but it made her blush.

Ares walked up to her with his hand behind his back, one of his hands was bandaged because she had bit. He wasn’t upset at his angry little Bee but loved the bite she gave him.

Brittany stood still and stared at him, wondering what he was hiding.

“You should wear this to compliment your beauty” Ares smiled and brought out a magical looking box.

It was flat and had a sparkling surface, truly fascinating.

He opened it and Brittany’s eyes widened to see a replica of the necklace her mother gave her but this was made of real diamonds and rare gems.

“It’s so…so beautiful” Brittany gasped, awestruck.

“I’m sorry for destroying something special between you and your mom, this can never replace it but…it’s a show of my deep regrets” Ares said, going she would accept it.

She was touched by his words and gestures.

“Would you like to wear it?”

“Sure” Brittany grinned, little tears formed in her eyes.

Ares brought out the necklace, went to keep the box side and wore the beauty on her.

They walked to the mirror and she looked magical like a princess.

“It’s too beautiful, how did you get this done?” asked Brittany as she faced him in surprise.

“There is nothing I won’t do for you, I’m sorry for the hurt I caused. Gifts can’t remedy anything or make you feel better but I’m eager to help you heal.”

It seemed like a thousand weird butterflies were fluttering in her stomach at his words.

Brittany smiled and she kissed his lips briefly.

She put down her feet and came back to her normal level. He slightly lowered himself and kissed her lips too.

They both closed each other’s eyes and opened their lips to each other, kissing passionately.
