A Plaything For CEO Blackwood The Blackwood Mansion
The D-Day had finally come, it was evening and The Blackwood Mansion was a stunning sight. Its usual understated elegance was replaced by an exuberant atmosphere appropriate for a grand celebration. As they decorated the entryway, a kaleidoscope of multi-colored balloons drifted gracefully in the wind. Lanterns lighted with dazzling lights direct attendees to the hall where the activities would be held.The dramatic alteration grabbed everyone who entered the beautiful hall. Garlands of fragrant flowers floated through the air as they spiraled across the polished oak floor, each meticulously selected from the house's gardens. In the center of the room stood a gorgeous banquet table draped in the most exquisite damask. Shiny cutlery and crystal goblets glistened under the soft illumination of crystal chandeliers. Each plate was adorned with a single, magnificent flower, taking the scene to a more refined level.Soft velvet chairs were prepared for the guests as they took their seats at

“What did I do?” Anna asked immediately, feigning innocence.“Don’t act like you don’t know what you have done!” Mr. Blackwood said in between gritted teeth. “Why did you bring him here?”“Who? Jimmy?” Anna asked, still playing dumb.“Today is supposed to be my one special day, and yet you bring him here. Why Anna?” he queried, trying to contain the anger within him.“Okay chill,” she said with wide eyes, clearly surprised by his reaction and low-key scared as well. “First of all, the invitation says plus one…”Not letting her complete the statement, he cut in immediately. “True. However I expected that you will come with your best friend.”“If you wanted Jenny here, maybe you should have just sent her an invite.” Anna blurted.“Don’t change the narrative, this isn’t about Jennifer, I am only trying to make a point. If I knew you would bring Jimmy here, I would have warned you against it. But it didn’t cross my mind for one second that you could do something so silly. Tell me Anna, di
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood Mother and Son meet again
“Dave?” Maria Forbes called, looking all emotional like she would tear up at the sight of her son. She was finally standing less than one feet away from him after all these years.“What are you doing here, Mom?” Mr. Blackwood asked with a cold expression, the shock had quickly been replaced with solemnness, probably a poker face to hide his true emotions.“A… A friend invited me, she said it was a work partner’s birthday, I didn’t know it was you.” Maria Forbes replied.Mr. Blackwood scoffed and shook his head, finding her response funny. “You really didn’t think I would buy that, did you? I am no longer eighteen, mom, but you are still terrible at lying. You hate parties, you only attend them if they are a family function.” He uttered.Mrs. Maria Forbes Chuckled. “Maybe that is why my spirit was accepting of the invitation, because it was family, you can change the last name but you can't change the blood.”“Drop it already, Mom!” Mr. Blackwood growled as usual. The low growls had co
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood A Beautiful moment
Mr. Blackwood is standing on the balcony at the left side of his building, it was on the second floor and from there, he could look out to the sprawling landscape of the estate and beyond. He was feeling broken at the moment, he had done his very best to avoid this moment, right from the day he found out that she was searching for him.He was not a man that cared for emotions or feelings, but today was different, he actually wanted to have a good day, but everyone seems to be against that. Why did she have to show up today of all days?Mr. Blackwood heard footsteps approaching and he sighed, not wanting to look back. He could soon feel the person standing at the entrance of the balcony by his right and he grasped the metal frames, wondering why she wouldn’t let him be.“So this is your favorite spot?” her feminine voice broke the silence from behind.“How did you find me?” he asked in a cold voice, still not turning to look at her.“I tracked your scent like a werewolf,” she chuckled
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood The CEO'S Birthday speech
Anna walked down to the Grand hall where she met Jimmy, he looked worried as she approached him. “Hey stranger.” She smiled at him.“Babe, where did you go?” he asked in a worried voice.“To use the bathroom, I told you.” Anna replied with a convincing smile; trying to act normal was difficult for her, because what if she was overselling the lie?“Yeah, but it has been almost an hour. I got worried and asked one of the maids to find you but she returned and said you were not in the guest restroom.” Jimmy said to her.“Yeah…” Anna bit her lips hesitantly, trying to come up with a quick response. The thing about lying is that when you tell one lie, you will need to tell more lies to defend the first lie, and if you are not smart enough, you will get lost in your own lies.“The hallways!” she suddenly said with wide eyes.“The hallways?” Jimmy asked with furrowed eyebrows. “What about them? And I called you twice but you didn’t answer, you had me all worked up.”“There are so many hallwa
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood To forgive is Divine
“I know, and I have lived with that guilt for the past twelve years. Your father was very angry that day, I thought he was just trying to scare you into changing, I never really thought he would abandon you there. When I found out that meant it, I pleaded on your behalf but he would not hear me out, he threatened to throw me out if I dared to bring you back, I was terrified and knowing your father, you know I had reasons to be scared.”“Wow! So you care more about your husband’s wrath than your son’s life? I could expect such a monstrous act from father, but not from you.”“Please hear me out, Dave. I…”“Don’t call me that! Dave is dead, he died in Los Angeles, I am Maxwell, Maxwell Blackwood!!” he corrected her in a rage.“I know you are angry, but please listen to me. I am sorry for doing nothing, I thought your father would be calm in an hour or two and acting up right there was not only going to get me thrown out with you, it isn’t worth it. I love you, Dave but what happens to yo
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood A dance with me
Anna sat there in confusion, a lot of thoughts racing through her mind. She was reluctant but she finally made the choice; with a nervous smile, she took Maxwell’s hand and stood up. She tried not to look at Jimmy as Mr. Blackwood led her into the middle of the stage.He gently placed one of his hands on her waist, while holding up her arm with the other hand. “Watch and learn, Miss Owl. Put your hand on my shoulder.” He requested with a cunning smile.Anna groaned as she did as he said, “You know you didn’t have to do this,” she whispered to him as they began to move in rhythm.“Careful or you might miss a step, follow my lead.” He said and he grabbed firmer and her body involuntarily jumped.“You think you are sleek right? I was here with someone, you didn’t have to do this.”“Miss Owl, you could have just said no, remember you are not here as my employee so you owe me nothing,” he chuckled at her, the sarcasm in his voice very obvious.Anna scoffs and rolls her eyes at him, she tri
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood Maria's approval
Annabel frowned and her heart skipped. “Okay, it scares me when conversations start like that, but do tell…”He smiled and was about to speak but then he caught sight of his mother signaling to him from the door, it seemed like she was about to leave.“Please give me a minute,” Maxwell said as he ended the dance and Anna sighed in relief. They both walked off the dance floor and then he left her behind.Maxwell walked up to his mother, she was standing alone but he knew she must have her security waiting for her around the corner. “Mother… are you leaving?”“Yes Son, sorry to disturb you, but it is getting late and your father won't have dinner unless served by me,” she replied with a small smile.“Mr. Forbes is never going to change, is he?” Maxwell scoffed.“Not everyone gets a redemption arc in life, but don’t worry about that. Dave… I can’t describe to you how proud I am of what you have accomplished here. I always knew you were destined for greatness but such power attracts the w

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
