A CEO Witht Ice Heart 23
Athos"Okay, let's move on to the topics of this meeting," I say to a team of lawyers surrounding the rectangular table in the conference room, and one by one, they begin to speak about their progress and difficulties with their respective hearings. However, every now and then, I find myself checking the watch on my wrist. It's already past eight-thirty, and she still hasn't arrived. "And what about the embezzlement case at the dairy factory?" I inquire, using my usual professional tone. Okay, I'm struggling to keep my focus here and now, even after a sleepless night with the disturbing image of Olívia getting into that car, but it's hard. The elevator's ding announces someone's arrival, and my heart races in anticipation, but it quickly loses its pace when I see the janitor pass through the metal doors. "Very well, I'm proud of you all, and I hope you keep it up. You can go back to your work now," I conclude the meeting and head back to my office. However, it doesn't take long for th

Ollie"You promised me he wouldn't be home," I scolded in a confidential tone, making sure only Artemis heard me, feeling somewhat upset about the situation."I'm sorry for that, Olivia! My idiot brother tends to do whatever he wants whenever he wants. I was sure he'd stay in the office all day as he always does, but don't worry, he won't bother you," I sighed audibly."I don't know, I think I should go home, Artemis.""None of that, you're my guest and he can leave if he wants to," I found myself smiling, though I think it's just nerves."You're unreal, Artemis," my friend smiled back, a smile that eerily resembled my boss's, prompting me to change the subject and, of course, the melancholic atmosphere that I hate."Come on, try the penne with white sauce. It's my favorite dish.""Mm, it sounds delicious!""Believe me, it's the best in this region," and thankfully we kept our conversation at this level, and to my relief, Athos didn't show up for our lunch on the balcony. I wonder if

AthosI'm falling apart. Everything inside me is in ruins now. Speaking about my past with my present is more than my own destruction, it's my exile, and I know that by the end of this conversation, she'll be gone for good. So, I dare not look her in the eyes. I don't want to find her judgment in them, and even less my condemnation. She's sorry, but I'm so accustomed to all this muck suffocating me that I no longer feel anything...."Our mother offered her a sum, Athos," my brother said when I returned his phone. However, I looked at him with so much hatred and resentment. My throat closed up in a way that breathing became difficult. "And she accepted the deal. Five hundred thousand dollars plus tickets out of the country and a place to live," he added."Get out of here!" I ordered, but he continued standing there looking at me. I wanted to scream at someone, break something, and God, if he stayed there in front of me, I wouldn't hesitate. "GET OUT!!!" I shouted so loudly and furious

Athos"You're right, but in my opinion, you and your family were victims of this woman. She seduced you and had a purpose for it, but in the end, she walked away with everything she wanted, and you lost everything you loved. Tell me, who's the criminal in this story?" I partially lift my body, and my face gets very close to hers. My eyes stare firmly into the retinas that should be condemning me by now. However, Olivia is trying to absolve me of my sins. I don't respond to her question, nor do I dare to end her defense; I just get closer to her and kiss her slowly, feeling her warmth beginning to warm my cold body.I love you! I want to say, but I don't.I'm not worthy of this love. So, I just lie on the mattress, pulling her up onto me. The kiss becomes more enveloping as my hands slide over her body, and in the act, I rid her of her dress. I love you! Those words insist on wanting to come out of my mouth. However, I keep her busy exploring hers, while she moves eagerly on top of me.

Athos"Thank you, Athos, you can go if you want," she says, leaving a quick kiss on my mouth. However, I can't settle for so little, and before she can pull away from me, I grab her arm and pull her in to kiss her as it should be. Full of intensity, and when I pull away just a bit, I rest my forehead against hers, containing my need to be with her. "Goodbye," she whispers, slightly out of breath, and I force myself to bid her farewell. Watching her leave my car and take a few steps away from me makes me feel insecure, completely anxious, and I don't think twice about getting out of the vehicle to go after her."Olivia?" I call, feeling like a needy boy in need of her care and attention, and the simple fact that she looks back calms everything inside me. "I'll go with you... if you don't mind, of course," her smile gives me the green light I needed."Are you sure?""I'm sure.""And the meeting?" I shrug."It can wait." I move closer to her and pull her into another lingering kiss, only

AthosMy entire body is boiling, burning like hell, but a cold sweat takes over it in contradiction. In a fraction of seconds, I feel my eyes burning, and everything around me starts to blur. And silent tears wet my face.I'm suffocating! I think, completely trembling.God, help me, I'm suffocating!However, as I touch one of their little hands, I feel the slight squeeze of their fingers on my index finger, and it makes me crack a shaky smile.Mine! I made them!"You said you don't believe in love, Athos," Olivia's voice brings me back to this sweet, yet agonizing reality. "So look at what you've done, Athos Mazza. They are the purest version of true love." She hisses, stopping by my side, and I soon feel her hand caressing my back.Upon hearing her words, I cry like a boy, completely surrendered to a devastating feeling. Something I haven't felt in a long time. Therefore, without strength, I kneel on the edge of the bed, and even with my blurred eyes, I continue to gaze at them with

Ollie"Oh Heavens, how do you manage to do that?" I grumble, completely breathless after an earth-shattering orgasm. Satisfied with my comment, Athos lets himself fall beside me and smiling, he stares at the ceiling."And then?" he asks between breaths, and intrigued, I partially raise my body, resting my head on one hand to gaze at him with a clear question."You're not using sex to convince me to move into your mansion, are you?" He gives me a playful look and then kisses me quickly."You make me feel dirty, Miss Martin!" he chides with amusement."Athos, seriously?!" I reprimand him, but it's impossible not to laugh at his relaxed demeanor that, I must admit, I'm loving."Think about it, Olivia. You'll be able to sleep every night with my kisses and wake up to them every morning, hmm? Not to mention this spectacular body that will be at your disposal whenever you want." He can't hold back a hearty laugh."You're not even pretending." I tease him, but he comes at me and kisses me pa

OllieIt's not a scream, but his roar echoed so loudly and forcefully in my ears that it made me shudder all over."Athos, I can explain!" His thick eyebrows knit together in a frighteningly apprehensive way, and I take a step back. "I went to talk to Edie...""Mr. Duran!" I give him a confused look."How?""For you, he's Mr. Duran!" He grits through his teeth."I just... went there to put an end to it." Athos arches his eyebrows in a sarcastic manner, and internally, I roll my eyes."I thought I had already put an end to this with him.""You don't know him like I do. He needed to hear this from me, you understand?" Then he smiles, but in a very malicious way."And to put an end to it, you needed to kiss each other? What the hell are you trying to tell me, Olivia?!" This time he shouts and I feel unsettled."Don't yell at me!" I release a low growl, facing him. "It was an unexpected kiss, and if you saw it happen, you must have seen the moment I pushed him away from me too," I retort,

AthosA few weeks later..."It's time to find out who's hiding in the belly of my beloved wife, my friend," I say, full of anticipation, rising from the chair in my home office after giving some love advice to my friend, who now seems more upbeat.The truth is, I'm eager to find out if we're expecting another little boy, and then we'll have a great team here at home to make our messes. With Levi and Liam taking their first steps and discovering their surroundings, I've been quite distracted when I'm out of the office, and they always give me reasons to smile every day."I hope it's a little girl to play with mine in the near future, of course," I snap out of my reverie when Romão speaks, stopping right next to me.He can't be serious. Really, Romão Nunes has no idea what he's getting into.I think after a brief debate that I interrupt to go meet my beautiful pregnant wife, who at this very moment is engaged in lively conversation with Victória and her mother.A gender reveal. She said

Ollie"Are you nervous?" Dad asks as the doors open and a wedding march begins. However, I'm speechless. It's hard to hiss anything when my eyes roam fascinated by every harmonious detail of a delicate and captivating decoration.The arches of roses and baby's breath lead me straight to an improvised altar, a carpet of white petals standing out on the green grass, rows of chairs with natural wood tones forming a narrow and elegant aisle, and right up front is my future husband waiting for me."Actually, I'm happy," I finally respond, flashing a wide smile when I see the shocked expression Kim makes as she sees me entering with our father, and to my surprise, Mom is holding Liam in her arms. I take a deep breath to hold back the new tears that want to form."I dreamed of this moment, daughter, but I didn't imagine it would be so magical," Dad says. It's because at this moment there is love and not an obligation. I wanted to answer him, but everything is so perfect that I didn't want to

Athos... Don't rush to leave this bathtub, my love, I'll wait for you as long as necessary.I take a deep breath, confessing that I'm becoming increasingly curious, but I do exactly as he asked. I spend long minutes relaxing, and when I finally return to the room, I'm surprised again. The room is tidy and filled with beautiful bouquets of flowers, but it's the huge white box on the bed that catches my attention."Athos, are you there?" I call out again, but I'm alone here. Once again driven by my curiosity, I walk over to the box, untie the large beige bow, and push aside the tissue papers, revealing a beautiful white dress. An emotional smile spreads across my face, and after taking the garment out, I find a pair of shoes, a bouquet, and a small velvet box with a beautiful delicate set of bracelet and necklace with the infinity symbol adorned with tiny sparkling stones.... Look beautiful for our moment, my dear. Our children and I will be waiting for you in the garden."Oh my God,

Ollie"I've got good news for you, sis-in-law!" Artemis enters the hospital room with an excitement that makes me smile. "The doctor is going to discharge you in a few minutes, so get ready to head back home.""Oh, that's great! I can't stand lying on this bed any longer!" I grumble, receiving his warm kiss on my cheek. "Where is everyone?""They went ahead, and Athos is talking to your obstetrician." I furrow my brows."My obstetrician? I didn't even know I had one.""Get ready because if Athos was already suffocating, he's going to get worse." I laugh."That's impossible.""Nothing's impossible, sis-in-law. At least not for the mighty Mr. Mazza." A knock on the door interrupts our pleasant conversation, and Aphrodite Duran appears in my line of sight, sucking out any cheerfulness. I take a deep breath, and Artemis looks at the girl intrigued."Hey, Ollie!""Aphrodite.""Can we talk for a moment?""Oh, sure! Artemis, could you...""Sure, I'll be in the corridor if you need me." I nod

Ollie"Good morning, my love! How is my sweet princess this morning?" He says as he enters, but this time I remain silent and still on the bed. "Olivia, you haven't eaten anything!" He complains. "You'll get sick like this, dear." I stay silent and unmoving. "You know this childish behavior of yours won't help you in any way, don't you?" I huff in my thoughts, but something crosses my mind. I need to play along with his game. I need to gain his trust and maybe I can finally escape this place.I take a deep breath.But where will I go? I'm weak and trembling, and this urge to vomit is making my stomach ache."This time I think you'll like it. I brought some caramelized croissants and they're still warm." My mouth waters just imagining the sweet pastry melting in my mouth. So, I force myself to sit up in bed and gaze at the package in his hand. A smile spreads across his face as Edie sits next to me on the bed. "I have news." He hands me the package, and eagerly I open it, inhaling the

Athos"Only if you want them to" I whisper. Then she turns her face towards me and I meet her perverted, sparkling gaze, which makes me smile. I take her mouth again in a completely hungry kiss, while I busy myself unzipping the side of her dress. In the act, Olivia lowers her arms so that the garment slides down her body until it forms a black circle around her feet. Then I feel the warmth of her skin in the palm of my hand and start spreading burning kisses all over her back, slowly descending until I'm facing her ass, which is covered in equally black panties, so small that it's impossible to cover them. "How delicious!" I growl, slapping her globe and she moans again. "Do you want to play with me?"- I ask her, feeling my voice gradually become hoarse."Yes!" She replies, almost breathless."Great, darling! Pretend I'm your king, and you'll do everything as I say, without questioning me," I explain our game while caressing her buttocks, wishing to possess her right here, standing a

Athos...Where are you guys?I send a message to my brother and anxiously await his response....We're already at the club as we agreed....Tell me you managed to get her out of the house?...Definitely, but she's not having much fun....Okay, I've sorted everything out here. I'm on my way there now.I confess it wasn't easy to juggle three days of out-of-state conference with a surprise birthday party for Olivia. So I've been torn between lengthy extraordinary meetings and long phone calls to convey the details of what I really wanted for this day, and I still had to give her attention from a distance. So, now I'm right here in front of the club to take her to this moment, which will surely be etched in her memory....I'm here, where are you guys?I send another message to my brother, but this time I don't get a response. However, I decide to plunge into the midst of the lively crowd and look for them. I confess my heart is racing inside my chest just at the thought that in a few sec

Ollie"Are you okay?" Athos asks softly, holding my hand as the car stops in front of my old house.The once accusatory and curious gazes now seem astonished. It's as if the entire neighborhood had been drawn to watch me step out of this vehicle. And I understand. Everyone here expected my defeat, for me to return home crawling and begging for forgiveness from my parents, but that's not what happened. Stepping onto the concrete ground with my high heels and displaying a posture as elegant as the clothes I'm wearing now caused a stir among them. However, I take a deep breath and look at the facade of the house, gathering courage to go inside."Do you want me to come in with you?" He asks, but all I can manage is a nod as my fingers tighten around his hand. It was so easy the other time. I think. There was a mix of anger and anxiety fueling all the adrenaline within me, but now I feel like I'm suffocating just thinking about stepping inside again."Mom!" Kim speaks with emotion, hugging

Ollie"Hi!" I say somewhat hesitantly as I approach my sister in the garden. "Anne, could you leave us alone for a bit?" I ask my friend who was comforting my sister. She gives me a closed-mouth smile."Of course, dear!" Anne steps away, and I observe Kim's sulky expression. However, she avoids looking at me, and with a heavy sigh, I sit next to her on the edge of a fountain."Kim...""Look, if you came to talk about that idiot Artemis, don't bother! I'm tired of hearing about how poor he's suffering and how he needs patience, love, and care. We didn't have an easy life either, and I don't go around mistreating people because of it.""Wow, I've never seen you like this before!""He manages to bring out the worst in me, Ollie. It's annoying, suffocating, and it makes me angry to be around him!" She huffs, and I... well, I don't know what to say."Anyway, I didn't come to talk about Artemis.""Then what?" Kim asks, interested."Mom called.""When?""Just now.""What did she want?""It's
