My Bossy CEO Husband

Brian had been having a hard time recently.

After what had transpired, he was ordered to go home every single day to cater to all the blind dates that were arranged for him.

As the days passed, he lost count of the number of girls he had met with.

Whatever pride and gratification he had felt for being with Eris in the past had completely dissipated over the course of his recent quandary.

‘God knows how these women are so damn picky! he cursed inwardly.He had always thought of himself to be quite a catch.And yet, none of his blind dates had ever called him for a second meeting.It was frustrating as hell.Because of his consecutive blunders with these women, he also had to suffer his parents’ constant reproach.

Each day, he would come home to their cold and disappointed faces.

 This day was no different.

Once again, he had sat through yet another disastrous blind date.

The car was already parked in the driveway of their villa, but Brian took the time to smoke a cigarette, if only to calm himself before facing his parents.

"Brian..." Leah spoke up, her tone low and cautious.

"Your parents had a particularly rough time today.Please be mindful of your words and actions." Brian's heart grew heavier than it already was.

"Thank you, Leah." He finished his cigarette and walked to the porch.

Before he could even get through the front door, he heard Jaylen's angry voice coming from the living room.

"Damn it! Those bastards really piss me off! Now, the matter has attracted so much unwanted attention.We're already in a crucial phase as it is, and those bastards actually dare to send messages and make calls to threaten that woman and her family!"

Jaylen only grew angrier with every word he spoke, and Brian even heard the sound of shattering porcelain.

"I've already apologized to her and gave her a hefty amount of compensation.She agreed to a settlement, too.Damn it! Those bastards! They're really trying to piss me off!"

Brian froze on the doorway, stunned.

When he had come home yesterday, he had been told that the incident was already settled.But it seemed something had gone wrong.His heart began to pick up its pace.

Mustering all the courage he could find, he squared his shoulders and walked straight to the living room.

Every piece of decoration that could be broken was now lying in pieces on the floor.

They were littered around a furious Jaylen, whose face had grown red from exertion.He was trembling ever so slightly, too.
