Fooling the CEO
Emma Hampton is sold by his abusive father ever since life removed her from innocence. Growing up, she didn't experience the life of being a child; playing with barbie dolls was not her game because she was the one who was being played with.

With Emma manifesting the plan inside her head, she tried to fool the CEO to get her revenge. She wanted out, she wanted freedom, and all she wants is for the people who mistreated her to suffer. But all these things will not fall into her plan. Can she fool the CEO? Or will she just be fooling herself?

Chapter: Epilogue”I can’t believe we’re back here again.” she said with wandering eyes, gracefully seated on the passenger seat.My lips protruded. I played with my lips as I stopped myself from pulling up the car and making out with her. God. How can she manage to be so goddamn beautiful without even trying? Is she purposely doing it to bewitch me more? Cause no need. I’m hell obsessed with her and even if she does nothing, I’m still gonna be head over heels with her. Gladly, we arrived at Long Beach without any delays. I mean, the sense of control that I had to possess. Phew~ “God. It’s been a while. I feel like so much has happened. This brings back the old days.” she spoke when she got out of the car.I encircled my arms to her waist because I’ve been dying to put my hands on her. Nothing, I just want to claim what’s mine. I just want her all the time.

Chapter: The people involved”So you mean, you got back together without telling us?” Zoey asked me with her famous bitch face look. The three of us were left here after the ‘caught’ incident. Elijah greeted them and they were casual with each other. Well, Lulu is casual. Zoey’s a bit aloof and rugged in treating him. I gulped. Because I didn’t know the right answer. Half of it is true and half is not. ”See? You can’t answer.” she crossed her arms and rolled her eyes at me. Lulu is quick to butt in. “Let’s hear her first, Zoey.” ”What’s to hear if she had nothing to say?” I understand Zoey. I’m used to this kind of attitude of hers.“You’re right,” I started. I even heard Zoey say ‘See’ again. “I wasn’t able to tell you guys because things happened so fast. But no, we d-don’t ge

Chapter: Caught in the actBecause of Elijah’s little games, I can’t help but to feel awkward around Ms. Madrigal all day. It’s not that I have something against her, it’s just that I’m shy as we all have this little pretending thing that went on these past two days. We hadn’t talked about it since, so when the time of the day went, I started to step forward and background, whether I talk to her or not. I’m having second thoughts. ”Yes, Ms. Madrigal. That’s all you have for tomorrow.” I said as I reviewed her schedule. She nodded. “Great. That’s good to hear.” I smiled. Usually, after she acknowledges my review of her schedules, I would bid my goodbye already. But since I have these things going on inside my head, I stood on her side looking like a fool. When she sensed that, she glanced at me. My cheeks immediately flushed because of that.I bowed my head, feeling her intent

Chapter: Nightmares became Daydreams“Ah!” I screamed. Panting, I looked at my surroundings and saw that I’m in a car. Right. We’re on our way to buy some groceries.”What’s wrong? Everything’s okay?” Elijah curiously asked. Although I’m not sure with myself, I still nodded and smiled raw.Wait. Nothing bad happened to me these past few days. Why do my nightmares suddenly come back? ”Had a bad dream?” he asked. I didn’t answer and just concentrated on adjusting myself. I felt him eyeing me even when his eyes should be on the road. ”Eyes on the road, Elijah.” I said with a warning tone. ”I am asking you.” he answered with his more intimidating warning tone as well. I sighed heavily. The persistent Elijah as always. ”I’m used to it. Don’t worry.” I said. ”You’re used to it?”

Chapter: Will never takeNothing happened. Elijah called a plumber who fixed the water pipes that night. He then went home late at night with his sulked face. We parted awkwardly and I overthought that whole night thinking I did something wrong. I didn’t do anything right? Not until he came inside the bathroom.“Ugh,” I groaned when I woke up. Sunday is supposed to be the day where I woke up with lots of sleep. But now, my head hurts because of thinking the whole night. Still can’t believe it. Am I just dreaming last night? No way.I checked my phone. No message from anybody. I went to the bathroom and looked at the new faucet. I sighed unconsciously. That is not a dream. I took a bath since it’s already late.I’m thinking of running some errands today, like doing grocery shopping because last night was just so embarrassing. For sure Elijah is not used to places like this. But I wasn’t able to think about

Chapter: The broken faucet“E-Ej, I think, we still have a lot to talk about.” He nodded while his eyes re focused on the road. He’s driving and we’re both on our way to my apartment. Like what he said, he’s gonna take me home. The events are like whirlwind. Everything was just so fast and I can’t cope up with how things are going. It’s like I’m dreaming and I’m loosing some parts of that dream.“We’ll talk tomorrow. For now, you need to rest. I don’t want you depriving your sleep.” he uttered seriously. My lips parted as I look at him. I look at him with so much adoration. I can’t help but to feel so amuse and overwhelmed with what he just said. For a year, nobody told me that. I almost forgot the feeling of having someone to take care of you, to look after you. I fell into this pit of limitations and barriers, thinking that I don’t deserve all that. But here he is.

I’m quite relieved to see the trees and hear the chirping of the birds. I might have fallen asleep here in the tree house."You’re having nightmares again?" Knight asked with a worried tone.I avoided his eyes and I sat properly. I’ve been dreaming a lot of weird things lately. It all started when my life was taken from innocence. I thought it was just a normal dream at first, but as I got older, I noticed how frequently I dreamed, not to mention how those dreams are connected, like they're a story."It’s much worse today," I whispered."How come? Did you dream of flying dragons now? " He laughed.I gawked at him. How would he react if I told him that it’s not just flying dragons but wolves that fight with swords that could kill only them? I shook my head and decided to just keep my mouth shut."We should go now. My father will look for me, "I u

As I've said a while ago, I want to be selfish just this once. I want to love him without thinking about anything. I want to show him how much I love him without holding back.The way he held me with care was different from his aggressive kisses. I resisted his kisses.

It can also be learned by yourself.You can dictate your own preference, you can be your own teacher. You can be your own standard, and you can be your own role model. I can be a mother without having to experience the love of a mother. Hugh is enough. I am enough.One morning when I woke up I felt a cold metal that Hugh was wearing on me. My sleepy eyes went wide seeing the fancy and sparkling stone in there. My tears rolled down my cheeks. My heart pounded as I wondered what that sin sing meant.“H-Hugh,” I stuttered when I look at him asking what’s that for."Good morning my soon to be wife and mother of my children." he smiled and kissed my lips. I could not believe what he said that time was one of the cherished moments in my life.It is not on my imaginations, I look forward for the fancy and extravagant proposal, but what he did was beyond my imagination

The way Gael's family stopped and listened to whatever commotion there was didn’t help the situation either. Gael dragged me by the wrist ad we both stormed out of their house without bidding a proper goodbye. When we reach outside, with just a signal of his hand, their valet immediately got what Gael meant.I swallowed quietly and nervously as I looked at his tight grip on my wrist. When he realized what he was doing, he let go of my hand and I immediately stroked it. I opened my mouth to say anything but I find it hard to look for the right words."G-Gael, I'm sorry about that. You shouldn't have talked back to your mother. I'm fine with everything she said."He glared at me and I saw his jaw moved harshly. His side of lips rose but it doesn't imply any humor. Instead, nervousness was all I felt."So you think I did that for you?" He bitterly asked. I swallowed hard and my face went cold."It'

But no, this is far way more than I expected.I slept again while thinking about it all. I woke up hearing some rustling sound, I thought I was dreaming but when that rustling ended with the shutting of a door I opened my eyes.My headache somehow faded away.

I didn’t intend to come but Olivia convinced me that we deserve that break after all of the stress we’re going through our business. So this hang over is what I had to endure this morning. The first thing I did was to check my phone for any important message. Screw me. I’m just after Gael’s message. Unfortunately, I saw nothing from my husband. He’s been gone for like three days now. I just know he’s doing some important business for his qualifications and such.Wearing Gael’s shirt, I stood up from my bed and proceeded to do my morning routine. Gladly, I don’t have any schedule today so I would be able to deal with this hang over of mine. I tied my hair in a messy bun and didn’t bother to change clothes. My underwear couldn’t be shown because Gael’s shirt serves like a dress for me since it’s too oversized. I went out of our room just like that. Geez. I’ll probably just order somet

We were both quiet, I don’t know his reason, but I was like I wanted to explode.“I’m sleeping at the guestroom,” I blandly spoke while removing my heels as soon as we entered."What's your goddamn problem, Elyse?" he scowled. I glanced at him with blank eyes.“You’ve been walking around the party with that attitude. There are medias and eyes are everywhere. What the fuck were you thinking huh? ”I gritted my teeth as I look at him. I was overwhelmed by the anger and pain I felt. I had to keep it all inside, that’s why I just walked into his direction while holding my heels.I brought my face slightly closer to his and whispered, "I'm just mirroring your attitude towards me."His brows met each other. I smirked before leaving but he stopped my arms. I felt the tightness of his grip so the expression on my face changed. His eyes are burning with irritation but I didn’t mind.“What are you?
