100 Days With Mr Romero CHAPTER 8
It had been two weeks. Two weeks since I had last seen Gideon. I had fallen into a normal routine without a memory of Gideon. Except he was still in my head. It was hard really, to forget a face like his, a skill like his. That morning, when he had dressed back into his suit. A silent agreement has been passed between the both of us. We had both agreed, it was going to be a one time thing. We were going to fall back into the life we had before knowing each other. He had placed a long sweet kiss on my mouth, mumbling incoherent words as he left the house and without a goodbye glance. It was the rule. The normal one night stand rule. Maybe I should have convinced him to be my friends with benefits? Would that have quenched the ever lasting hunger of him in me? Gideon followed my every touch. I got so familiar with his cologne immediately I smelt what the same type in the mall, i had jumped at it and picked it. Although it had caused a dent in my pocket. I smiled at the next customer

"Still watching out for Max?" I asked her whilst laughing. "Yes, he's become so much of a bother these days. He cried in front of me yesterday, only to go to the locker room, arrive back and begin to bark orders at me like I'm his slave. At the end of the day, when I'm going he thinks I don't usually see him but he would walk me till I get to my street junction before coming back. To be honest, he's just giving me different vibes. And I've told him countless of times," Livvie folds the napkin, sighed and leaned on the table. "I've told him times without number even, that i am not interested. Would never be interested. I'm not even interested in being with a man at the moment. Is it that hard for him to digest?" I could tell she was frustrated by the matter already. "Awww darling, don't worry. I'd try my best to talk to him and tell him to back off." I placed my hands on her shoulder in encouragement. "Thank you, I really hope that works. I guess it's time for me to vanish now. I'm

It's been 3 months. Three painful months since I had escaped from Gideon's claws. Apparently, I had also clawed at him. It's been three months since I had snatched my hand away from his and had run like an animal was hot on my tails. Why I had ran like that, I still didn't understand. The intensity of the kiss had reminded me of what I couldn't have even if I wanted. It's been two months precisely, since I had found out I was carrying a bun in me. It had come as a whiplash because out of all the surprises I had been expecting for even the whole year, pregnancy hadn't been a part. And it didn't take me long to piece it together, Gideon was the father of my baby. How would I have approached him that he had gotten me pregnant? Although I knew, Lily always reminded me that we were both in that together. The fault came from both of us. And since those two months, I had always chickened out anytime I wanted to call him. Of course, before I ran, he had squeezed his card into my bag and I

"Marriage? The idea of that is absurd. I'm not even ready for marriage yet. And my family? What would they say? No, Gideon that won't happen." Gideon and I had been battling with words for over an hour since we had arrived in his penthouse. "Emily, you have to calm down and look at it in a more reasonable way. Marriage is the only thing that can save our reputation and still allow me be with my kid without any stress. How do you want the baby to feel because of your foolishness? You want iy going all round in school being called an illegitimate child? You have to think of the future instead of the present because the future matters for this child." Gideon remained cool and collected as usual and I immediately pondered on his words.This was for my baby. There was no way Gideon was ever going to let me go with the baby except I decided to run away-which wasn't an option. I could do this for my baby, for it. All this while, as I sat and pondered, Gideon had already gotten up from whe

As I gazed by the window of the balcony, I could not help but let out a sigh. What was all these? What was I doing? How was I to explain to my parents that I was getting married, more so, about to have a baby in nine months. It was all just too much. For me, and my hormones. “The view is really nice. I always come down here whenever I feel stressed.” Gideon spoke lowly as he rested on the wall, facing me. I chided myself internally not to blush. It was all just so simple to get myself riled up by him. “Good for you. I guess I’ll talk to you later.” I said, trying to walk past him and into my room. I moved into the penthouse with him few weeks ago and together; we were planning to travel down to my parents by the weekend. “Emily, wait.” I was grabbed by my arms and I immediately looked up at him with raised brows. “What?” I questioned and he looked away. That only made me raise my brows the more. “What?” I questioned again. “I’m just going ahead to say this.” He said and continue

I woke up to the disturbing ringtone of my phone, I had tried to ignore the call and keep on sleeping, but whoever was calling wasn't ready to give up. Without looking at the caller ID I answered. It was Lily. "Hey girl, where are you?" Her cheery voice came off. "Lily?" I croaked out, my eyes widening at how horrifying I sound. "Girl, you sound like you have a dick down your throat!" Lily said in between laughs. I rolled my eyes sitting up. "What's wrong with having a dick down my throat?" I gave a heavy yawn."Crazy! Anyways, I just called to remind you that you have something called work, you know, the thing you do to earn money."Fuck, I had totally forgotten about that. "Lily I can't come in today, please cover up for me.""Cover up for you?" I heard her mutter. "Girl wake up!" she screamed into the phone. "What happened to you, where are you?""Fine! I'm up, no need to kill my ear drums." I rubbed my eyes, the fact that I don't work at the bar again hitting me. I scrunched m

"Gideon didn't tell me he was bringing... Well, it doesn't matter anyways, I have no problem w-with this." I gulped heavily. Of course I had a problem with it, I mean Gideon and I barely had what we could call a relationship before we went on with a marriage plan and maybe he feels nothing for me but lust, but still, bringing his ex as the wedding planner is just out of it. "Well, even though Gideon and I broke up, we are still really close." She cocked her head watching me, probably trying to get a certain reaction for her satisfaction. "Oh." I nodded my head slowly and took a step away from her. "Well, that's good. So, how does this work?" I decided to move away from topic. "I haven't actually had any wedding before." I chuckled nervously, but she didn't even offer a smile at my poor joke. "Well," she gave a small pause. "Obviously."Biting my lips to hold back my snappy tongue, I smiled. This bitch was getting to me, it was obvious she didn't like me. From the way she spoke and

"There are thousands of wedding planners out there, and the one person you brought in was your ex? You brought your ex to be our wedding planner?"He said nothing for awhile, watching me quietly. "Have you had dinner?"I blinked twice. "What? Did you hear anything I just said?""I heard everything you said Emily and I asked if you have had dinner?" He walked over to me, his eyes watching over me. I gulped and looked away—this wasn't the time to be turned on."W-what are you doing?" I bit my lips, cursing myself for stuttering in the first place. "Nothing," he said. "You don't want me to touch you right? Well, I wouldn't, not till you ask me to or till we get married."I scoffed. "What makes you think you can touch me even after we are married?"He gave a smirk. "Surely, a man is allowed to touch his wife, right? Or will you deny me that pleasure?" He raised his hands slowly to my face, I held my breathe as he brought them closer, brushing his fingertips across my cheeks. "You have su

Emma woke up and began coughing out loudly. The handkerchief tied around her mouth was loosened and she could feel how sore her throat was. She carefully opened her eyes. She was seated on a the bare floor and both her hands were tied behind her. She slowly opened her eyes but everywhere seemed to be covered with fog. Emma then spotted a man sitting at a desk looking right at her. She tried to see his face from where he was but she couldn’t. She forced her eyes open and felt that her kidnapper looked familiar. Then the man gradually stood up and approached her. Emma immdeately recognized him and she gasped in surprise. "Will? " she called out to him. He walked closer to her, smiled at her then bent down to where she was on the floor and caressed her face. "What are you doing here? " she asked him looking around the whole place. She was in a place that seemed like an underground. Will immediately broke out laughing and Emma stared at him in confussion. "My beautiful Emma. "
100 Days With Mr Romero CHAPTER 122: THE KIDNAP
Gideon walked into the office that morning smiling like a high school boy who had just fallen in love. He greeted everyone he came in contact with that morning which his members of staff found shocking. During the usual weekly briefing they have in the office on mondays, Gideon kept smiling throughout the whole period and his staff wondered whether he had found new replacements for the business partners who pulled out. While the weekly briefing was ongoing, Gideon kept thinking about his dance with Emma and the jokes they cracked last night. He was glad she had forgiven him. After he returned back to his office, Gideon made up his mind to invite Emma for lunch in a restaurant of her choice. What if she thinks he was flirting with her? he thought but still decided to try his luck. Meanwhike in the main head office of LIA'S bars, Emma was having goose bumps. She thought of how Gideon held her waist while they danced and she blushed. She remembered resting her head on his shoulder

After the event at the museum, Gideon accompanied Emma to her car and waved at her. Then, he got into his car and his driver Mel took him home. In her room, Judy held her phone, staring at the photo of Emma and Gideon taken at the museum that night by the strange man who walked in. Tears were streaming down Judy's cheeks and dripping on her phone which she was managing to hold still. Her hands were shaking and she was boiling with rage. She felt her heart aching and her head felt as if it was on fire. She began to shake violently. She tightened her fists, hit it against the wall and she began to bleed. "No. " Judy screamed in agony and broke into a torrential overflow kneeling on her bed. She hit the phone on the wall and the screen came off. She tore the book beside her on the bed into tiny bits and scattered it across her room. She placed her back against the wall and cried her heart out. How could Gidoen do this to me? She thought and the the image of them dancing together f

Emma turned to Gideon with her perfectly sculpted eyebrow raised. She walked closer to him. "Why did you do that for? " she aksed him. Gideon immediately grinned at Emma and looked left. She began to smile and Gideon didn't notice her. "I just saved your life ma'am. " Gideon said. "What? " blurted Emma and she giggled. Then she bursted out laughing and Gideon smiled. He loved the way she was laughing. He missed the sound of her laughter. "I miss this. " Gideon told her staring directly into her eyes. "I miss our usual fun filled banter. " he said and Emma nodded. She missed it too. "You remember how I helped you fix your tie that day? " began Emma. "I do. " agreed Gideon with a nod. "I was so tensed and that I day if u recall, I was to sign a huge partnership with DIVINE whiskey. " recollected Gideon. "You were so restless that you forgot how to fix a tie instantly. " Emma reminded him and bursted out laughing."The whole Gideon Romero couldn't fix his tie. " she joked.

After ordering Martin to get the wine from LIA'S, Gideon went back to his office and sat. Judy followed him. "We got the deal Judy. " he told her with a smile. Judy gave a false smile. "Get the necessary things in order. Ensure the best bar tendants are sent there. I'll be present at the event. " Gideon hinted. "Yes sir. " Judy replied and walked out of his office. Judy wanted to ask Gideon what transpired between him and Emma, how he convinced her to sell the wine to him and how he was able to make the transaction quick but she didn't wanted to make it obvious to him that she was anxious. She went back to her office and continued doing the work he assigned to her. Immediately Gideon left Emma's office, she got a phone call from the museum management. "Of course I'll be there sir. " she promised her caller and drove home. Emma stood in front of her standing mirror trying different outfits on her. "Finally. " she said examining the long fitted red dress she held in front of th
100 Days With Mr Romero CHAPTER 118 : A FAIR DEAL
"You mean you are going to Emma for a transaction? " Judy asked. Gidoen nodded. "Oh come on Gideon. That woman is after you. " argued Judy. "She will kick you out I bet. " she added. "I might as well try. " maintained Gideon. Judy left his office angrily. What on earth could she do at the moment to stop them from meeting? she thought. Back in his office, Gideon was pondering. If he goes to Emma's office, she might shut him out? he thought. Since she was after his downfall lately, he was sure she wouldn't assist him yet he still felt the need to try. He got up quickly from his chair, alerted his driver and they were soon on their way to her office. As he sat parallel the car, he kept dismissing the thought that was seducing him to go back. If he doesn't prove to the museum management that he could handle the deal, he might never be contacted again and after all the loses he was making lately, he needed this deal to click. "We are here sir. " his driver announced parking the car

Frankie knocked on the door to Gideon's room with a careful sense of uncertainty. "Come in Frankie. " responded Gideon from the outside as if he was expecting him. "Good morning Sir. " Frankie greeted the moment he walked in. "Your breakfast is ready. " he said. Frankie wasn't sure whether Gideon will have the meal yet he tried his luck. Throughout last month, Gidoen had been skipping meals and when Frankie places it for him on his table, he barely touches it. This is as a result of the crises he was having with his business. Since after the accident in the bat tub, Frankie noticed a sense of cheerfulness radiating around Gideon so he decided to try his luck with the breakfast that morning. Gideon was seating on his bed reading a book when Frankie walked in to invite him for the breakfast. "I'll be there shortly. " replied Gideon and Frankie smiled and nodded. Few minutes later, Gidoen had joined Frankie in the living room. "Why don't we have the breakfast together? " suggest
