He grinned at her false bravado, her green eyes flickered and the golden shades of it were more intense, he saw determination, which he could use to his advantage.

"Unless you wish to buy it back, it's worth over a million dollars"

Keira hesitated, where was she going to find a million dollars? With Sam's college fund and their welfare, those were out of the question. Their trust fund obtained from their deceased parents had been kept for emergencies only, it wasn't even close to half a million.

His grey eyes mocked her with a sardonic smile that left her stomach in knots. This was the most inconvenient time to think about how overpowering his steely eyes were or the fact that he was a very gorgeous and fascinating specimen.

"I have a proposal for you, that could turn this around."

The CEO's Meticulous Bride

  She looked through crusty eyes to see Sam entertaining him by making silly faces, he reached up to cover her nose.


Soon Sam was all over him like peanut butter on jelly, insisting on feeding him next time.


Keira prepared her workbag while Sam strapped him to a papoose, gently adjusting his hat.


They had to put off leaving for work till 9 am for Darby's sake, with his kit in place, she drove her car recovered yesterday.


"Keira? Did you forget to lock the doors the last time?"


She parked with caution and scoffed. "What?" She said dubiously and had palpitations when she saw the doors for herself, left ajar.


Worried that she might have bypassed activating the security system, she climbed out running to the store to investigate, she heard hammering noises and drilling.


 Following the commotion to where a tall man in a black coat stood, directing the worker on what to do.


Her eyes moved all over the place, she would've preferred to be burgled, the place was empty and looked like a construction site. 


"I want that corner expanded, can you do that without bringing the house down?" Logan clarified and the worker nodded putting his safety helmet back in place.


Sam had the same expression when she walked in.


Keira's fists clenched. "What do you think you're doing?"


He faced her after dismissing the worker,  it was that same guy from the night before yesterday. He didn't look worried, to say the least.


"Claiming my property, redecorating, got a problem with that?"


"I bought this building and everything on it"


"Who the hell do you think you are, I'm calling the police." She fumed.


"That's not necessary, even if they show up, you'll be the one arrested for trespassing."


She was screaming at the top of her voice and was attracting unnecessary attention.


"Let's take this outside." He said with caution edged in his tone.


She revolted when he gripped her arm forcing her to step outside, she pulled back her arm.


He scoffed, she honestly didn't know who he was, Sam, on the other hand, knew and stayed away from discord.


He pulled out a patent with a conspicuous signature.


How had he managed to pull that off in a short time?


She skimmed through and huffed "You can't do this. I worked my butt off to get this store."


"I don't care." His attitude was infuriating.


She paced back and forth, this was not happening, it was all a dream. She laughed in disbelief.


"Believe it or not, it's in my possession"


Darby squirmed and threw a fit, she couldn't process this completely.


Her finances were too tight to hire an overpriced lawyer.


Another worker came out of the store glaring at Keira through his sunglasses.


"I have this under control" Logan asserted and he went back to work.


He was reasonable and controlled. "You seriously don't know who I am do you?"
