Demon CEO's Hidden Love: Mr Grayson Stole Me From My Abusive Husband-Chapter 179: Change Of Breakfast Plans

After Brooke took a bath and got changed, she expected to see her usual driver behind the wheel. However she got a shock when her husband opened the door for her and announced he would be taking her to the filming location.

"You should get some rest, you know you have to take better care of your health. The driver can take me, you don’t need to do this for me." Brooke insisted, as she watched Thane buckle his seatbelt.

"Brooke, it’s fine. I want to take you there. From now on, I’ll be very busy with growing my business here." He turned to face her, "If I’m being honest, a lot of my time will be poured into work. The same goes for you, we’ll both be busy and I wouldn’t want to not see you as much as I can."

"In all honesty, I’m doing this for me." He said, then locked his hand in hers.

Brooke smiled, "You never back down do you?"

He gave her hand a gentle squeeze, and started the engine. "We have some time, do you want to have breakfast?" He asked, driving out of the area.

Brooke shook her head, "The last thing I’d want is an upset stomach on set."

"It’s okay to be nervous, I felt nervous when you first woke up and saw me. I was so tensed and confused when you went under the bed and refused to come out." He noted.

Brooke buried her face in her palm. "Oh, don’t remind." Her ears reddened from embarrassment.

He chuckled, "I remember feeling nervous when I asked you to marry me."

"Really?" She tilted her head slightly to the side, "But you sounded so confident back then, I was convinced that you didn’t care about me enough to get nervous."

"That’s not true. I was panicked, if you had said no, I would’ve gone insane from my anxiety. All those years, I was afraid of us meeting again and you had already fallen in love with someone else. And if I’m being honest, nothing scared me than what I saw when I found you." He confessed.

Brooke noticed his grip tighten, she looked at Thane, and could see the worry in his eyes. She bit her lip, contemplating an idea, after a few seconds of hesitating, she leaned in and planted a kiss on his cheek.

"Don’t think about that anymore. I’m here with you and doing better than ever." She informed him.

But Thane wasn’t on the same wavelength. "I will never forget it Brooke, not until I’ve made Ethan Halton rue the day he was born." He hardened his tone.

Brooke nodded, "Speaking of Ethan, I’m surprised he was able to keep his composure around Serena like that. Well, he’s always been good at covering up who he really is." She said, recalling brief moments of her first encounter with Ethan.

Shaking those thoughts off she added, "I’m worried my marriage to him will be brought to the open. The last thing I need is another scandal to have this movie cancelled."

"It won’t. I’ll make sure that your marriage to that bastard is nothing more than a bad dream. Not even the devil himself will be able to dig it up." He assured her.

Brooke heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank you."

"You’re my wife, of course I’d help out as much as I can. Especially when it comes to the things important to you." He said, pulling over at a restaurant not too far from their mansion.

It was a private place, that was invite only operated. Thane, who was a permanent member had an automatic pass inside, and he planned to make full use of the privilege.

Brooke unfastened her seatbelt and tried to step outside, but Thane stopped her before she could.

"Wait, you forgot something." He said, reaching into a compartment. Brooke tilted her head, watching him take out some shades and a black face mask.

"What are those for?" She asked, fighting back her smile.

Thane replied in a serious tone. "I’m taking added measures, to make sure you’re not compromised by having a meal with me."

Brooke couldn’t help but chuckle. "You’re already treating me like some celebrity, even though you’re more famous than I am."

But Thane felt otherwisely, "No one knows how I look like, they’re only aware of the Grayson name. Something that I have already rejected and want nothing to do with anymore." In a lighter tone he went on.

"In the movies I watched, the actress always has to be careful when going out with her lover, so you have to wear this too." He insisted, inching closer.

The corners of her lips lifted into an amused smile, seeing Thane act so well-versed in the subject made her insides tingle. "I’m some no name actress, I don’t think anyone would recognize me on the bat. But alright, I’ll put them on." She said, stretching out her hand to take the disguise off him.

Slipping them on she teased, "So that means you’re my lover, doesn’t it?" She shook her head at the scenario Thane had painted in his head.

Seeing how serious he was over her getting photographed at such a high end restaurant far from the city made her smile.

Thane grazed his thumb across her lip, caressing it through the face mask. "Do I have to prove myself even after last night?" His other hand snaked up her thigh, making Brooke shudder with each contact made.

Brooke closed her legs tightly, but it only made Thane grin, he stole a glance at the time and his smile dropped.

Withdrawing he ran his hands through his hair. "You go in first, I have something to take care of..." he was saying, only for him to catch Brooke staring at him, particularly at his crotch area.

He forced a smile. "It’s fine, I’ll handle it..." Thane was in the middle of saying, when Brooke’s hand snaked to his pants and rubbed against his bulge.

"We still have some time."

Thane replied, "You’ll be skipping breakfast-"

Brooke smiled, "No, I’ll just be having a different meal." She said then shot him a wink.
