Filed to story: The CEO’s Wife Is a Secret Boss Novel (Allison & Jeremy) Free Online
Jonah Taylor was a frightening man. On the one hand, he was a kind and compassionate man, but on the other hand, he had a brutal and unforgiving side as well.
It wasn’t as though Jonah had the temper of a saint. It was just that he couldn’t be bothered to get mad about every other thing in life.
Well, his family was the only exception to that rule.
“About that-
“I don’t know what your bottom line is. All I know is that you’ve crossed mine.” Jonah’s tone grew sharper and colder. Flames of anger danced in his eves at that moment.
“My bottom line will always be Allison,” he said “This will be the last time I pick up your call. Mr. Walsh. Consider this my final warning as well. Keep your fiancee and your family under control
“Don’t you dare cause trouble for Allison anymore. You’d better be prepared for the consequences if you cross the line one more time.”
When Jonah was done speaking, he hung up on Jeremy immediately
Back in Seaview Manor, Jeremy stood before the window while staring at his phone. He slowly tightened his grip around it. He could feel his heart throbbing in pain once again
He relied on Jonah to contact Allison, but now, that connection was severed. For the first time ever,
Jeremy felt hollow on the inside. He was starting to panic as well
This time, there was a high possibility that Allison might disappear from his life once and for all
Perhaps Jeremy wouldn’t be able to track her down ever again.
The man felt extremely frustrated and annoyed. He scrambled the depths of his drawer to look for a pack of cigarettes Thankfully, there were still two sticks left
With shaking fingers, Jeremy managed to slot one of them between his lips. He had to flick his lighter a few times in a row to light it up.
The reddish¨Corange light flickered during those attempts. At the same time, Jeremy realized that he was acting weirder by the day.
He hadn’t smoked over the past five years, yet he started picking up that habit just because he missed his ex¨Cwife. The person he never loved.
It was already past midnight. Yet there was still someone at the huge workshop in Stellus.
Alyssa could be seen slaving over the ores in a black apron Her forehead was completely covered in sweat
The young woman had already cracked open hundreds of ores by then She even polished and crafted numerous bracelets worth at least four figures each Still, those bracelets were worth nothing to her
No No None of them looked like it!
None of those bracelets looked like the one Newton had gifted her!
Alyssa gritted her teeth in frustration, her eyes already bloodshot. She continued to polish a block of raw gem on the machine
Her fingers, which were usually fair and slender, were now covered in calluses The cuts on her
Alyssa wanted nothing more than to craft a bracelet identical to Newton’s gift. Otherwise, she’d be too ashamed to face him in the future.
At that moment, a loud booming noise drifted from the outside. It rumbled so loudly that even the metallic door was starting to vibrate.
However, Alyssa remained unmoved. All she cared about was polishing the gems.
Suddenly, the door swung open from the outside. A strong gale blew into the workshop, making the woman narrow her eyes out of instinct.
A helicopter could be seen parked outside the workshop despite being shrouded by the darkness. The door was slowly opened before a man descended down the helicopter.
He was wearing a black trench coat that flapped in the wind. A cold look was present on his handsome face.
“Lyse, I’m back!”
Alyssa looked at the handsome man in front of her.
He had sunk down on one knee while looking up at her affectionately.
“I heard that my dear sister wants to punish ine.” The man’s lips curled into a mischievous smile.
“Axel…” Alyssa murmured in a soft tone.
“Whew! I was so relieved when I heard you call my name.”
Axel Whitaker was the fourth scion of the Taylor family. No one would have thought that a cold and distant man like him was capable of smiling at his sister brightly.
He wrapped a muscular arm around Alyssa’s waist and held her tenderly. Then, he stuck his other hand into his trench coat’s pocket and fished out a bar of chocolate. Axel proceeded to tear open the packaging with his teeth before feeding the chocolate to Alyssa
This chocolate bar is a local specialty at Artoria. Besides, it’s your favorite as well. Give it a taste.”
“Axel!”
Alyssa leaned forward to hug Axel tightly. For some reason, she felt like crying all of a sudden
Soon, her tears started staining Axel’s shirt.
There were a few reasons behind her emotional breakdown. Alyssa missed Axel a lot, but at the same time, she felt guilt toward Newton and anger toward Liana. She was also frustrated by the fact that she couldn’t craft the emerald bracelet.
Deep down, Alyssa still suffered from the disappointment and heartbreak Jeremy had caused her.
“Lyse? Are you crying?” A surprised Axel caressed the back of Alyssa’s neck gently.
“No…” Alyssa replied moodily.
“Are you sure about that? The front of my shirt is completely soaked, you know.”
“I said no!” Even though Alyssa sounded all choked up, she still denied the fact stubbornly
Axel knew that his sister was a prideful woman and had rarely cried since she was a little girl
Hence, he decided to keep his mouth shut.
He continued hugging Alyssa instead while coaxing her gently. A dull ache throbbed from his heart when he saw her sobbing.
Axel’s return marked the end of Jeremy’s peaceful life. That was for sure.
At that time, Jonah and Silas were standing outside the lobby. They watched the touching scene
Silas gritted his teeth in annoyance. “Damn it, I can’t believe that guy got to act cool in front of
Lyse! She never showed her vulnerable side in front of me! How the hell did Axel pull that off?”
“Since Axel landed the helicopter on Stellus’ grounds, the damages he caused to the tiles and the greenery must be massive.”
Jonah shook his head with a small sigh. “Remember to let Axel know he’s responsible for paying the damages he caused to Stellus.*
Despite having worked till dawn, Alyssa was unable to craft the perfect bracelet. She dozed off amidst the pile of ores.
Don had prepared a guest room for the young woman. Axel scooped her into his arms and headed toward the room slowly. Finally, he placed Alyssa on the bed carefully while Silas watched cautiously.
-Axel tucked the sleeping woman in and planted a kiss on her cheek Then, he left the room happily before closing the room behind him.
“Tch! Hey, you stingy prick! You never gave Lyse anything nice, even though you keep traveling around the world! All you did was give her a bar of chocolate! Seriously, just how stingy can you get?” Silas mocked with his arms folded in front of his chest.
“Can you change your attitude for once, Silas?” Axel shot him a sidelong glance
“Hey, show me some respect!” Silas glared back.
“Only if you do it first.”
“F*** you!” Silas cussed out loud furiously. He tried to kick Axel.
Naturally, he was no match for the super spy Axel dodged the kick flawlessly
Silas missed his target. As a result, he almost ripped his jeans, which would have been embarrassing
*Haha! Hasn’t anyone wamed you about ripping your pants if you’re not careful? You should be mindful of your own limits!” Axel burst into laughter on the spot.
It had been a very long time since he was able to laugh so heartily. After all, the atmosphere at the secret spy headquarters was always very tense and serious.
