A CEO Witht Ice Heart 30
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,

Ollie"She's been to our parents' house a few times looking for you, but..." She audibly huffs."I nearly had a heart attack when they announced I'd be marrying the banker. What kind of people are they?" I cup her face in my hands and smile."But now you're here and you'll come with me to my house...""Not so fast, Miss Martin!" Athos interjects, joining our conversation and subsequently grabbing our attention."I promised Kimberly that you'll be fine here under my protection.""Athos, we've already discussed this...""No, Miss! I said our conversation wasn't over, and Kimberly agrees with me, right?" I look at my sister, who nods enthusiastically at my boyfriend and shrugs at me."I can't leave Anne and Victória behind..." I try to protest, but it's futile."And who said they'll be alone in that house? Victória has won over my brother. She acts like a mother to him." I roll my eyes."They met today, Athos!" I grumble, but soon the duo enters my field of vision, and I find myself smil

Ollie"I have a plan, Mr. Mazza. You go into the office first, act like a jerk with all your employees as you always do, and I come right after, serving your coffee," I say as he stops in front of Mazza Law and Order."No way!" My boyfriend roars like a fierce lion, and I huff in disagreement."Athos, everyone will talk.""And what's the problem?""The problem is, I'm the new girl in the company, and I'm already hooking up with the boss!""Hmm, that sounds quite interesting, Miss Martin!" He jokes, and I roll my eyes. "What do you suggest, and please don't tell me you'll go in first, and I'll follow.""Okay, no holding my hand during the entire workday, and don't you dare treat me differently from the other employees. Here, I'm your secretary, and you're my boss.""That's ridiculous, Olívia!""I know, but it's only for a few days.""Promise?" I smile."I promise." After this standoff, which ended in my favor, we step out of his car and enter the company's lobby side by side, catching

Athos"What do you think?" I inquire as my friend reads the messages."It's definitely her," he chides, and I take a sip of my drink. "What do you plan to do, Athos?" I exhale loudly through my mouth."I don't know. Ignore her maybe?""Do you think she'll let it slide?" I audibly scoff."Just when everything is going so well!" I grumble, frustrated."What do you mean, just now? Where's that authoritative friend of mine? The one who doesn't allow anyone to meddle in his life or his decisions?" I stare at him intently."And if I fall, Romão?""I can't believe what I'm hearing, Athos! Stop and ask yourself: what do you feel for Olivia?" This time I nearly choke on my own saliva, feeling uncomfortable with this question as I shift in my chair."I... love her!" I say somewhat hesitantly, and Heavens, it's never been so hard to utter such a short sentence! "Damn, it feels good to say that out loud!" I growl, feeling relieved, and my friend smiles at me."So, there's your answer, my friend.

Athos"You're making me curious, Mr. Mazza," she whispers back, but I don't respond. I simply kiss her gently and sensually."You've become my everything, Olivia," I whisper again, resting my forehead against hers. "You've changed my world." I kiss her forehead softly. "You've brought color into my life.""Athos...""You saved me!""I think we saved each other." Then I pull back just a bit to look into her eyes."You set me free, and I love you for it!" She's caught off guard; you can see it in her eyes. "I love you so much that I'm afraid to wake up and find out that all of this was just a dream." I lay all my fears on her. However, she smiles at me, and her smile is like a balm that eases me and brings me peace."Darling...""Know that you're more important to me than the air I breathe. I love you, never doubt that." And before she can say anything, I step away from her and watch her catch her breath.Beautiful!In the next moment, I kneel before her, and she visibly gets nervous, b

Ollie"You look beautiful," he mutters surreptitiously as he swiftly passes by my side, warming me with just his whisper. So, I take a deep breath and glance around, noticing each employee focused on their work, and I try to do the same, but I assure you. It's not easy."Olivia, could you make some copies of these files for me?" Barbara asks, approaching my desk and snapping me out of my daze. So, I force a professional smile for her."Of course. Are you in a hurry to get them? Because I need to take some coffee to my boss..." Wow, I'm getting bold and dishonest! But what can I do when keeping my distance is nearly impossible? However, the look my colleague gives me leaves me feeling a bit embarrassed. She already knows, of course she knows. After all, Athos Mazza is an open book now."Just don't take too long, okay?""Okay!" I hiss with a closed-mouth smile at her, then immediately rush to the pantry. I prepare a cup of coffee and head to his office, trying to maintain an appearance

Ollie"I already told you he's in a meeting!" I retort lowly, but with no hint of courtesy. She gives me an elegant smile, and her eyes go past my shoulders. To the transparent glass walls behind me, revealing a conversation between my fiancé and my brother-in-law."I'll announce myself, then!" Estela takes a step towards the door, but I stop right in front of her, blocking her path."You're not special, Miss Constantine, you'll have to wait like everyone else! Now you have two options: sit and wait, or leave altogether.""You're quite arrogant for a mere secretary!""Maybe I'm not just a mere secretary," I retort, raising a hand to adjust some strands of my hair, revealing the solitary ring on my ring finger. Her eyes immediately dart to the object, and her fair skin gains a tinge of red instantly."Thank you, Athos!" Artemis says, leaving the room, and frustrated, I close my eyes, releasing a loud breath through my mouth. However, the imbecile pushes me aside and immediately passes

Athos"Do you remember when we first met?" She asks, turning her back to me and walking through my office as if nothing had ever happened between us. The whole damn thing is that I'm watching her closely, and nothing. I don't feel the usual impact of her presence like she always used to make happen. For the first time, I feel like her power doesn't affect me, that I'm no longer her puppet, that her seduction game is no longer capable of drawing me in. However, the anger she makes me feel now is monstrous."How could I forget?" I find myself answering her question. Then she looks at me and smiles. However, I remain serious."It was the bump that changed my life." You have no idea how much you changed mine too. I think."What do you want from me, Estela?" I don't hold back the cold tone that comes out of my mouth."What do you mean, what do I want, sweetie?""Don't call me sweetie!" I demand through gritted teeth, clenching my fists."I know you're angry with me, but believe me, I had n

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
