A Plaything For CEO Blackwood Pain and Sorrow
I sat there staring at Jimmy with lips apart, fear gripping me. What am I supposed to say? Should I lie to him? or just admit the truth and deal with what follows.“Jimmy…” I tried to speak, deciding within me to reveal the truth.“Wait!” he suddenly halted and then he sighed and looked away. “I know, you must be mad at me for asking such a question, I don’t know what I was thinking. You don’t have to answer that, it was very wrong of me to question your character after everything that we have been together, please pardon me.”I heaved a sigh of relief, even though I felt bad that he saw me as a saint while I was really not. Maybe it was for the best that this secret remained safe with me, but for how long would I be able to keep it a secret?“It is alright, Jimmy.” I said in a soft tone, “Let's just forget about it.”He nodded and looked away. There was silence between us for a while and then he looked my way again. “Anna, we are good, right?”I replied with a nod, but deep down I wa
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood Friday Night Trouble
After so many weeks away, I decided to attend Friday Game Night, although Jennifer had persuaded me days earlier, I also chose to go to get some happiness and guilt-free pleasure. This Jimmy-Maxwell thing has been giving me a headache the whole week so tonight should be all about fun.I arrived at the Cruz Mansion and Mr. and Mrs. Cruz were excited to have me over, they don’t usually interfere in their children’s affairs but they were in the sitting room when I arrived today.“Welcome Anna, you look so beautiful,” Mrs. Cruz complimented.“Thank you Ma,” I replied with a shy smile.“Sure… the girls are upstairs, please do tell them to keep it down,” she instructed.I nodded and then dashed up the stairs, avoiding further interactions. Interacting with elderly people was always awkward for me, even with how much I related with my parents back at home. Speaking of my parents, I had just bought my father a car last week, it was a Toyota product but it meant so much to him.Aside from my m
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood Her knight in Shining Armor
I sat at the police desk waiting for them to either put me behind bars or at least come to address me, the alcohol was slowly wearing off but I still felt that buzz in my head. Fuck, maybe I shouldn’t have drank too much, or at least I should have let Jennifer drive me home.After about fifteen minutes of sitting at the desk with handcuffs, a police lady walked up to me and took the cuffs off my hand. “We won't be filing a case, so there would be no records in our system but you should better not drive while drunk next time or I will put you behind bars myself.” She threatened.Uhhhuuh! Sexy hot cop, I like her!Wait! Why am I not being booked? They are just going to let me go?As I stood up and turned around, I got the answer to my questions. Mr. Blackwood was standing right there!He smiled at me and I groaned. “Of course it is you,” I scoffed and walked past him to grab my stuff from the lady at the counter.“That is no way to thank someone but I will accept it,” he chuckled and fo
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood Love or lust
Perhaps it was the alcohol in my system but I felt jittery and excited as I stood under the shower, I was becoming more conscious of my environment by the seconds and the sleepiness left my body as the cold water drizzled all over me.I thought back to the game night and the way everyone was complimenting me. Did I really change? I mean… What has changed about me? Okay, I trimmed my hair a bit and repacked it but they were exaggerating the whole thing.I thought about Gideon and I couldn’t help but chuckle. Tonight was hilarious, I know we all swore a Pact to keep whatever happens during game night a secret between ourselves but Jennifer giving Gideon a Blow Job was something I doubt would remain a secret. How did she even summon the courage to do that?“Why are you taking so long, Miss Owl?” that annoying British accent cut through thoughts.“I have not even been in that long!” I yelled back at him.“Well, it is been fifteen minutes already and if you are not out in the next three mi
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood Dealing with Guilt
** ** Omniscient Narrator ** **Two months later…Annabel showed up for work as usual, she was dressed in a smart white blouse and black skirt, simple yet elegant. She was carrying a black handbag that contained a few photocopies of documents, her IDs and of course her pepper spray- it is a wild city!As she arrived at the office of the receptionist, Annabel immediately felt that something was not right. The receptionist had not shown up for work, she could swear she had seen all of the worker’s cars parked outside so why was the company empty?She walked down to the elevator and she hadn’t even met a single security guard, where did everyone go?Arriving at the hallway upstairs, although silent as always, she couldn’t shrug off the feeling that something was not right, maybe Megan could explain to her what was going on. Annabel rushed to Megan’s office and knocked but there was no response, she pushed the door and it opened but Megan was not there.Anna furrowed her brows, confusio
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood I Quit
“I am sorry, Mr. Blackwood but I cannot continue to work for you. I wish to resign from the company.” Anna replied.Mr. Blackwood couldn’t mistake this for a joke, the look on her face told her seriousness. But he was just confused, why, when and how? What brought about this?“Miss Ann, I am in no mood for jokes, let's be serious right now.” Mr. Blackwood demanded, trying his luck.Anna sighed and shook her head. “I wouldn’t joke over something like this, Mr. Blackwood. I quit, I want out.” She whispered.“And why, if I may ask?” he fired at her, trying hard to stay calm and not overreact at the moment.Anna hesitated, either she didn’t know what to say or she didn’t want to say it. “I am sorry, reasons are best known to me.” She replied in a mutter of words, looking away from him.Mr. Blackwood scratched his head and inhaled deeply, it was so difficult to stay calm at the moment, he tried hard not to lash out on her.“Is it because of what I said back in your office? I know you are n
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood Walking out of his life
** Anna’s POV **I was packing my personal items in a box back in the office. It wasn’t much though, just a few books, pens and a flower vase. I couldn’t help but think about the whole thing.Was I doing the right thing? I had saved up quite a few bucks to take care of my needs for a few months while I went job hunting. With my work experience, I don’t think it would be that difficult to find something decent to do.Who wouldn’t want to employ a former employee of Blackwood Precious Stones and Jewelries? This was to my advantage.Without a knock, the door was pushed open and Megan walked in, a frown on her face. I turned to her with a little smile, expecting a lecture from her.“What do you think you are doing, Anna?” she asked with a wrinkled face, curiosity etched on her face.“Did Mr. Blackwood send you to come and try to change my mind?” I asked coldly and turned my back to her.“He didn’t have to, the moment I learnt that you were leaving, I decided to come over and talk sense
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood The Truth
** ** Omniscient Narrator ** **Maxwell Blackwood paces around in his office, work was over for the day but he couldn’t leave, he had been restless since Anna left. He tried hard to act like he didn’t care but it wasn’t working, he cared for her and he knew it.But why couldn’t he just say it? Whether or not she had reasons to leave, maybe he could have persuaded her. Why did he let his pride get in the way?Was it something he did? He doubted she was really quitting because of the conditions he had given to her at employment, but regardless of that, maybe he should have just taken off the conditions.It is not like he had used her like any of his previous Assistants, he had turned them all to literal sex toys but with Anna, he always resisted. To think that she was the only one who he despised amongst them, yet somehow they had come to form this bond and he had grown affection for her.Lately, he hadn’t even abused her in any way, except for a few mean words here and there but tha

A Plaything For CEO Blackwood A happy ending?
Maxwell Blackwood stood patiently at the Altar, his eyes zooming to the door every second. He couldn’t wait to see her, his parents had kept her away from him for over twelve hours because apparently it is bad luck to see the bride before the wedding. Not like he believed in that shit but he had to respect their customs.The small gathering of family and friends fell silent when the doors creaked open. Everyone turned towards Annabel Joseph who had just walked in with her father holding her hand. She was wearing a simple yet exquisite white gown and looked stunning in it. A transparent veil covered her face but anyone could tell that she was dazzling beneath it.Maxwell's breath hitched. In that instant, the world around him seemed to fade away. All that mattered was Anna, her beauty chasing away the anxiety that had enveloped him before now.As Anna reached the altar, her father, his eyes shining with pride, placed her hand gently in Maxwell's. A soft squeeze from her hand sent a jol
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood Confronting the Past
The white room felt like a tomb. Anna fidgeted in the hard plastic chair, her heart hammering against her ribs. Every nerve in her body screamed at her to turn and run, but she forced herself to stay. Today, she was facing her past, a past she'd hoped to bury forever, she had to do this in order to move on.A buzzer sounded, and a thick slab of reinforced glass slid down, revealing the face she'd dreaded seeing. Jimmy. Gone was the cocky swagger he used to carry. His once-bright eyes were dull, his hair matted, and his face gaunt. A pang of something akin to pity lanced through Anna, quickly replaced by a surge of anger; she shouldn’t be feeling bad for him, he brought this upon himself.He stared at her, a flicker of hope igniting in his eyes. "Anna," he rasped, his voice raw. "I knew you wouldn't abandon me for long. Not when we have a child on the way."Anna scoffed, the sound harsh in the silence. Abandonment. The word twisted like a knife in her gut. But she wasn't here for a fig
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood Anna announced the Engagement
Anna and Maxwell split ways when they arrived at the airport; while Max headed for the Forbes mansion in the SUV that was waiting for him, Anna got into a car waiting to convey her down to Jennifer’s office.Anna left the noise and chaos of JFK Airport behind her as she walked out into the bright Nevada weather. With a happy smile on her face, Anna slid into the cool leather seat. As the car pulled away, she looked out the window and was fascinated by what she saw.It was Las Vegas, a place she had never been to before. The tall buildings and fast-paced life of New York City were gone. In this area, the scenery was mostly made up of huge casinos with crazy themes and lots of neon lights. She would see a huge copy of the Eiffel Tower one minute and a pirate ship with sails flapping the next. In the best way possible, it was too much to take in.In contrast to Manhattan's crowded, narrow streets, these roads were wide and smooth, making it easy for cars to move along. The warm breeze ma
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood Engaged to Mr. Blackwood
Anna sat alone in the sitting room, wearing a simple but elegant dress that touched her knees. Sunlight streamed in through the tall windows and danced on the plush carpet, but Anna didn't pay much attention to her fancy surroundings.She was focused on her hand, where a single diamond ring sparkled on her thin finger, and she smiled as she remembered the beautiful moment of the previous night, when Maxwell got down on one knee and asked her to spend the rest of her life with him.Anna’s attention was called to the sound of footsteps climbing down the stairs and she quickly changed her position, hiding her smile."Ready to go, beautiful?" he asked, his voice laced with a sleepiness that only made him seem more endearing.Anna's heart did a little skip. "Yes," she replied, the single word holding a universe of emotions. She stood up immediately, hiding the ring she had been obsessively admiring behind her back.He crossed the room in three long strides, pulling her close. The warmth of
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood Maxwell cheated
Maxwell wakes up feeling disoriented. He is confused as to why he was in that room, what happened? He could barely remember any of it. Most of all, why was he half-naked?He grabbed his phone on the blanket immediately and checked the time, it was midnight. He also noticed that he had missed over twenty phone calls, mostly from Annabel. As he tried to remember what happened, he felt a sharp piercing pain in his head.“Arrgh!” Max groaned and rubbed his temple.He got up from the bed and quickly, eager to find out what had transpired. Was the party over? He didn’t remember getting drunk so why does it feel like he had a hangover?Mr. Blackwood put on his shirt and rushed for the door, but as he dragged the handle, he ran into Annabel who looked like she was about to walk in, there was anger and rage in her eyes.“Annabel, what happened?” MB asked almost immediately.Annabel scoffed and walked past him into the room, she was fighting the tears in her eyes. She stared at the bed to confi
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood Where is Maxwell?
After over ten minutes of knocking, the door was finally opened and Anna walked out with a frown on her face. “Who locked me in there?” she yelled.“I am sorry, Ma’am. I was actually walking past when I heard you knocking, I have no idea who locked it.” The maid who had just opened the door replied.Anna sighed and waved her head, instantly regretting why she raised her voice. “It is alright, I am sorry for speaking to you like that. Thank you for opening the door.”The maid nodded. “It is no problem, Ma.”Annabel walked away, heading down for the party. She wondered who thought it was a good idea to lock her inside a bathroom on her birthday, perhaps they were playing a prank on her. It could be one of her silly friends, the Cruz twins in particular were capable of such mischief.As she climbed down the hall, the party was still steaming hot. She found the girls giggling at one end, they waved at her when they saw her and she smiled. Maybe it wasn’t them after all, she could recogniz
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood The Birthday Party
“Where did you get the dress, Ann? It is so nice.” Belle complimented as she touched the fabric.“Oh, Jennifer had it made for me.” Anna replied with a smile.“Uh Uh… It looks expensive,” Belle chirped in.“Oh, it sure is expensive.” Jennifer smacked proudly.The ladies were still chitchatting when Jenny’s phone began to ring, she checked the caller ID and blushed, quickly covering it with a smile.Jennifer quickly rejected the call as she looked up back to her friends, she caught them staring at her with suspicious eyes.“Ooommm…” Belle cooed. “What is the new guy’s name?” she asked teasingly“What guy? I don’t know what you are talking about.” Jennifer denied, her cheeks getting redder with each passing second.“Oh come on, since when are you shy about these things, spill it already.” The Cruz twins urged.“His name is Marshall and he is standing right at the door.” Anna suddenly announced.Jennifer’s jaws dropped. “It is a lie,” she muttered to herself as she quickly turned around
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood Fixing the Family
Anna hummed to herself gladly as she walked away, she didn’t know what plans Maxwell had but the moment she saw Linda, she knew it was now or never. If she ever wanted to get rid of Linda, this was her chance.It was not like she didn’t trust Maxwell to get the job done but this is someone he used to care for, someone he made love with for months, he clearly still had a soft spot for her or she wouldn’t be here today. She didn’t really blame him, knowing how exes can be manipulative; Jimmy for Example.“Hey! Anna!” A familiar voice called to her attention.Annabel turned to her left and her eyes met Megan. “Megan! You made it!” she said excitedly and they embraced each other.“Of course, sorry I am late, I had to go pick up Ugochi from the airport.” She announced.The name struck a bell but Anna couldn’t recollect where she had heard it before. “Ugochi?” she muttered and then she gasped. “Oh my God, you mean the bar lady from Botswana?”Megan immediately pointed to her where she was s
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood An Uninvited Guest
Maxwell Blackwood and his little sister, Abigail climbed down the staircase, his eyes scanning the room in search of his brother. He couldn’t have Simon causing mischief here tonight.The first familiar faces his eye met were those of his mother, Anna and her own mother. It seemed like Anna was introducing them to each other. Maxwell didn’t want to get involved in that right now, he walked past and up next was Jennifer giggling and pouring champagne with her friends.Then to the left, Maxwell caught sight of his brother speaking to a lady, although she had her back to him, she looked very familiar. He walked down to them immediately, a frown on his face.“You know you could have politely taken an excuse before walking out on us like that.” He growled softly, trying to hold back the anger. This was not supposed to be a big deal but for some reasons, it pissed him off.The lady didn’t flinch or turn around, she remained rooted with her back to him, her long hair rolling against her bac
