Royal Ceo by Seerat Kaur (the best novels to read .TXT) 📕

                         I just wanted to see him smile. I would like to hide my happiness to save it from bad eyes. It was hard when his sweet words kept running in my mind. 

              He loves me back more. 

      The bedroom door creaked open. I didn't need to turn to look at who. His cologne engulfed me before his arms curled around me. He planted a small kiss on my shoulder. It was a light touch of his warm and soft lips. It left a trace on my skin and sent warmth through my body. 

       A part of me was scared she would take him away. I told myself over and over again that she would leave soon. Her being near my husband felt like a wave crashing on the shore. I didn't want her near him. All of those emotions swirled into a deadly concoction in the pit of my stomach. Mere thought tormented me. I pushed them away immediately as it was impossible. 

      Yes, I'm possessive. Shouldn't I? We're married. 

      His arms tightened around me. I couldn't help but draw to him. He nudged his nose along the skin of my neck. My cheeks heated with a blush. It was his recent new hobby. 

      "You're my home, Hon." His words were slow, husky. 

       My jaw dropped, I glanced up at him over my shoulder. My heart skipped one beat and then another. I didn't hear him wrong. 

       "You're not fooling me with your charm?" I asked, blushing. I knew the answer. 

      His fingers spear through his hair as he glanced into my eyes. There was heat in his gaze. A big smile played on his lips. He drew his face closer. I had to remind my lungs to do their job as I, "Do I need to answer, Hon." His soft voice made my body shudder. I bet he heard me. 

       He planted a kiss on my cheek. I was perplexed that I could appear to be so calm within the ring of his arms, with my back to his chest. 

      "Let's eat," He said, taking steps back, he held my wrist. 

      My gaze turned to him with a smirk. He tugged me out of the room. It was breakfast time. Elisa, she was leaving our house and checking into a motel. That was a huge relief. I sauntered behind him with my heart pounding in my chest. He got to me in a way I never considered.

      The corners of his lips turned up in a smirk as he glanced back at me and slowed his pace to match mine. 

       It felt like a dream but it wasn't. As I saw Elisa standing near the head chair with her luggage. She was looking beautiful. I was jealous of him. They could make a beautiful pair. I shook the thought away. I was his wife. She shouldn't be around my husband. 

           Never! 

      She was sad. It was written all over her face. I was feeling sad. Suddenly, I felt bad for her. I wanted to help her with whatever was bothering her. I didn't like her around my husband. I wasn't the person she was asking for help. Maybe in the future. 

      "Edward," She glanced at him and then glanced at me but she didn't address me, "I can't stay for breakfast." She said. Her voice was telling. She cried. I glanced at her. She was hiding her puffy eyes behind the layer of makeup. Was she upset with his wedding? It could be anything. 

      "But you need to eat, " I wanted to glare at my husband for showing care to her. She wouldn't die if she'd skipped her meal. 

      Her gaze turned to me. I couldn't be cruel. She wasn't going to come again, "You can go after breakfast." I told her. 

      She let out a calm breath and nodded. With a smile, she pulled out the chair for herself next to my husband's chair and sat down. 

      I felt the tug and found him looking at me. I smiled and walked over to the table. My phone buzzed showing a message I swiped it, putting my mind somewhere else. 

      "Aerial wants me to meet at my uncle's house," I muttered when I found his gaze on me. 

       "Take the driver with you," He said as he pulled the chair out for me. 

      I wasn't taking any driver. I liked freedom. He would go to the office first. He wouldn't realize it. With a soft nod, I sat down. 

      I was mulling over him with a smile on my face. I rolled my eyes when I saw her bodyguards. I pulled over the car. 

     I stepped out of the car. I ignored them. Aerial was coming out of the house, "Why are they here? " I asked her. 

     She rolled her eyes and a bored expression, "I hated them around me." she said and tugged me in. 

    I glanced around, "Are you alone?" I asked. 

    "Shopping. Andria wants him to try a matching suit with her wedding dress," She turned to face me, reaching near the couch, "What do you want to talk about?" She asked, pulling me down on the couch. 

    I smiled, drawing my face closer, "He confessed his love," I muttered. 

    "Really," Her smile faded, "You didn't spoil the moment." She asked with a stern look. 

    I pursed my lips and shook my head. I was about to tell her about Elisa. She was leaving. So it was a waste of time, "When will mom come?" 

    "On her way," She budged closer, "Tell me more. I received your message." She asked with excitement in her eyes, "And stop running from your feelings. Accept them," She opened her arms widely in the air. 

    I giggled and explained everything to her. I was blessed to have her in my life. I didn't know what I would be doing without her.

                I need to stop running away. I don't want to bow to him easily. She's right, I should stop running. Love is a beautiful thing. 

       I smiled as I pulled over the car in the parking lot. My brows furrowed when I saw another black Mercedes parked next to my husband's car. 

      I stepped out of the car and walked inside. I was hoping Elisa would be gone. Andria wanted to know my advice too. So I had to go.
