A Plaything For CEO Blackwood False Friend
Tears rolled down Anna’s eyes as she sat there in shock; why was this happening to her? Why was everyone in her life betraying her?She was still contemplating on her miserable life when she heard a knock on the door. Anna got up and slowly walked to the door, she stood there crying, not knowing if to open the door or not.When the knock persisted, she slowly unlocked the door and pulled it open. It was Jennifer standing outside, wearing a pity face the moment she saw Anna.“Oh babe, I am so sorry.” Jennifer cooed and embraced her in a tight hug. “I just wish you had listened to me, I tried to warn you about him.” she said in consolation.Annabel didn’t reciprocate the hug, she just stood there crying, Jennifer’s words of consolation only fueled the rage and anger with her. How could this human look her in the face and pretend like she didn’t sleep with her boyfriend?Jennifer broke the hug and stepped back. “It is okay, Anna. Please stop crying, at least now your life purpose can be
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood Apologies
Jennifer let out a soft groan as she opened her eyes, the light in the room was too bright and she had to shut them again. With a second attempt, her eyesight was a bit blurry but gradually became clearer.She caught sight of Anna sitting beside her and she had to blink to make sure she wasn’t imagining it. “Ann?” she muttered.“Welcome back.” Annabel said in a cold voice.Jennifer immediately looked around and realized that she was in a hospital room. “What happened? Am I dead?” she asked with a little chuckle.“Unfortunately not… you passed out for a few hours. Don’t worry, the car didn’t hit you, you only passed out in shock. According to the Doctor, you have no broken bones, no brain damage, no bruises or fractures, you are perfectly fine.” Anna spatJennifer smiled a little, still feeling a bit dizzy. “Why does it sound like you wish I had any of that?” she asked.“It is actually more like all of that, unfortunately wishes don’t come true. You know what they say, bad people live
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood Shocking News From The Doctor
Annabel walked out of the hospital room, leaving Jennifer behind and quickly wiped off the tears forming in her eyes as she did so. She couldn’t understand why she was being excessively emotional these days, it was like the tears were waiting for reasons to pour down at every given interval.She arrived at the Doctor’s office and was welcomed with a smile. “Mrs. Juliet, you sent for me.”“Yes Anna, you said you wanted to run a test. Can I know why?” the Doctor asked, they had known each other far back during her college days. She used to be the school nurse but then got promoted to the position of doctor at a general hospital.“Yes Ma’am. I experience constant dizziness, moodiness and nausea. Also, frequent urination and terrible cramps; please don’t tell me I am going to die, I refused to use google for that very reason.” Anna joked.She had learnt to stop googling her symptoms on google because they gave the worst diagnosis she could ever imagine. One time they made her think she ha
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood Who is the Father?
** Anna’s POV **I walked out of the Doctor’s office with shaking legs; my worst fear had come to pass. I was carrying a child, whose father I couldn’t even tell. Was it Maxwell or could it be Jimmy? I had slept with both of them in the previous month, if the pregnancy was anything less than three weeks old, then I could have been certain that it was Jimmy.My heart raced as I walked down the hallway, I cannot keep this baby, regardless of which of them is responsible for it. I won't even consider bringing a child to this world for Jimmy, after everything he has done to me, I want no ties and connections to his life in future, our paths must never cross again.And Mr. Blackwood… I don’t think keeping his baby would be a good idea. Take aside the men involved, I am not ready for a child right now, I can barely take care of myself and my family, let alone an extra mouth to feed.“Hey, what was it about? You looked worried?” Jenny’s voice called back my attention. It was then that I r

** Omniscient narrator **Mrs. Maria Forbes sits calmly in the large lounge as she watches her son pace around the room like a man whose wife was in labor. She took a sip of the champagne and sighed.“Are you going to relax or what?” she said with a little chuckle.“I don’t know, why am I even being nervous? It is just a girl,” he groaned.Maria Forbes laughed softly. “You see, that is where you get it all wrong. I understand that you are new to such emotions but that is because you are still refusing to accept it. Let's start afresh, you love her?” she queried.Maxwell nodded. “Yes mom, obviously.” He replied with spread arms.“Good, and so have you told her?” she asked again.Maxwell paused and shook his head. “Not exactly…” he muttered and scratched his head.Maria wrinkled her face in disbelief. “Let me get this straight… You love her but you have not said the words to her?”Maxwell looked confused with that question. “Yeah.” He replied bluntly.“Are you serious? Why are you men
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood Mr. Wilson
** Anna’s POV **It was now my second week as an employee of Logic Press Publishing House and things had been going quite smoothly. I was a fast learner and since the job description was something from my field of study, I had easily settled in, and even made a friend.Of course I didn’t inform the HR department of my pregnancy, good thing about having a flat tummy, there was no sign of my baby bump, or maybe it was just too early for that. My office colleague and newest friend, Alia; you guessed right, she is India.Aside from the accent, I find her humor entertaining, there is never a bored moment around her. It looks like I have been cursed to make beautiful acquaintances at every place I visit.I saw Alia packing her bags as she stood up from her desk. Like I already mentioned, we both share the same office space.“Are you leaving?” I asked casually as I turned away from the monitor screen to her.“Yeah, work is over for the day, why aren’t you?” she chucked.I laughed softly. “
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood Billionaire Cab Man
“Oh my goodness! What are you doing?” I yelled in surprise.“What? My assistant decided to take up a job in a publishing house so I didn’t think it was a big deal to become a cab driver. We both changed careers, switching to something less, so we are still on the same page.” He blurted.“Do you even hear yourself? That is silly!” I retorted, disbelief written all over my face. “You are the CEO of a multimillion dollar company, if anyone sees you doing this shit, it won’t be good for your reputation.”“Well I can just be your personal driver, Miss Ann.” He said with a smirk plastered on his face, his curved lips quite attractive.“Wipe that smirk off your face,” I acted unimpressed. “This is silly, how did you even know when and where to pick me up? Have you been stalking me, Mr. Blackwood.” I feigned anger.“Umm… forget about that, let's go back to the part where you think this is a silly job for me. Exactly, that is the same way I feel about you working in a small publishing house, i
A Plaything For CEO Blackwood Mr. Blackwood confesses
I stood there, with my body against his, completely speechless. I had no idea what to say or do. On one hand, I had looked forward to hearing him say this for months, on the other hand, it scared me to hear those words. A part of me had dreaded this day, even though it felt impossible.“Max… What… What are you saying?” I stuttered. This had to be a joke, he can't possibly be in love with me, this is Maxwell Blackwood we are talking about.“I am serious, Anna. I know I have said horrible things to your face, I acknowledge I said this would never happen but I couldn’t stop it, Anna. This thing I feel for you is love, I know it. I can't help but get lost around you, the thought of you living rent free in my head, you make me feel in a way no one has ever done. I love you, Annabel Joseph,” he whispered as he cupped my face.I felt my head buzzing, the earth under my feet felt unstable, like I would fall at any time, tears began to form in my eyes. What was I supposed to say now? What was

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

“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

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

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
