The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

“I want you all to understand, from this moment forward, that Rose didn’t trap

me by getting pregnant to marry me. It was I who deliberately gave her that

opportunity.

“Even if she initially didn’t plan to keep our baby, I wouldn’t have agreed to let

her go. If she hadn’t been carrying my baby, I’d have found another reason to

make her my wife.

“The one who’s always harbored ulterior motives has been me. If you’ve got

anything to say, say it to my face. But do you have the guts to do that?”

The room fell into a stunned silence.

Enter title…

They didn’t. Morrison was a true force to be reckoned with. The audacity of his

speech wasn’t without foundation.

Having said his piece, Morrison swept his gaze over the hushed crowd, a

satisfied smirk playing on his lips as he strode out of the room. His footsteps

were brisk, and it was all Riley could do to catch up with him in a near jog.d2

The display was nothing short of shocking for Riley.

Morrison, who never wore his heart on his sleeve, who would grimace at the

sight of other couples wrapped up in their public displays of affection, had made

such a bold declaration of love.

despised sappiness. He doubted Morrison would ever be the type to whisper

sweet nothings or be particularly kind or tender, even to his own wife.

He had secretly worried about the future of the Witt family line, especially after

learning about Morrison’s past girlfriend.

Now, there in the meeting room, Morrison’s words had been nothing short of

explosive. Riley never imagined he’d see the day when Morrison would brazenly

confess his love in front of a crowd, shattering his stoic image.

Back at the birthday celebration, despite the heavy snowfall, they made it back

to the party in record time.
