BREAKING MR CEO'S RULES CHAPTER SEVENTY
Dimitri’s POV“Yes sir. Another car came through earlier. Seemed to be Mr Rivers.”“He’s there?” My boss’s voice echoed angrily over the phone. I didn’t know much about Miss Victoria’s private life but from what I’d seen from driving her to and back from places, there’s no love lost between them.“Yes sir.” He cursed under his breath and exhaled loudly the same time thunder roared.“Just...keep your eyes on her.” The call ended.I’d have to move closer than we had originally planned. I turned on the wiper to rid the windshield of the trickling droplets of water. I couldn’t imagine Miss Victoria in the rain, just standing there. The rain had been so unexpected that no one thought to bring an umbrella and I couldn’t go meet her. She wouldn’t like that.All that fog, rain, phone call and distance was all it took for me to lose sight of her.A car whizzed past me and I looked at the car, alarmed. It was the same car that drove Mr Rivers. So, where was Miss Victoria?I drove right up to the

It was probably unhealthy but I was back at work. My bruises had healed but my mental health was still recovering.I was working like never before. I didn’t pick calls from Charlie either. I needed space from the family. If she thought an apology could somehow fix that, she was dead wrong. People whispered behind my back as I went through the day. Only Dara had the guts to ask what happened.“I just fell sick for a couple of days. Nothing too serious.” I faked a smile. My voice wasn’t back a hundred percent but I was clear enough for people who came close to me.She smiled sadly and got back to work but not before telling me to delegate some of my work to her if I was feeling tired. I nodded in response and continued what I was doing.I was far behind on my work on my personal project because of the recent happenings around me. Well, no more. I wasn’t going to let anyone or anything distract me, not even gossip.***“I heard she and boss are seeing eachother.”“Really? Eww! She’s so s

I ran to my apartment and met the door ajar. The place was trashed in its entirety.“What the f*ck!” The chairs were torn apart and feathers and foam were strewn across in no particular order. I ran to my room to see if it was in similar fashion. Everywhere was disorganised. I covered my nose to avoid the horrible stench wafting in.“What the f*ck is this?” There was blood everywhere. The words man stealer were painted in red over my bathroom mirror. The whole place was in disarray.It looked more horrible than the picture the unknown sender had forwarded to me. I picked up my phone to call the one person I would tell on a whim. Pissed at me or not, he needed to know. A movement caught the corner of my eye, sending my heart dipping to my stomach. Before I could turn to find out what or who it was, I felt a sharp pain at the back of my head.I fell to the floor with a loud thud, my head hitting the counter top in the process. Warmth trickled through my hair down to my neck and my vision

Kol’s POV“So… Did you get everything you needed?” If Josh thought I was going to dignify that with an answer, he was senile.“Come on man. We got who we were looking for, didn’t we?” No, we didn’t. Not entirely. The manager had interrupted us before the woman could say anything. We didn’t need her anymore. Everything we needed was right with me and though it’d take longer to figure it out, we’d figure it out together. Me and this nincompoop.“The end justifies the means, no?”“Certainly does not.” Dimitri said nothing as we drove back to the company. Silent as ever.“So, mind telling what the f*ck happened between the both of you?” I thought I saw Dimitri look back and then front swiftly with the speed of a cheetah but maybe I was wrong.“Thought you said she told you.” If I didn’t think Josh knew he couldn’t physically win a fight with me, because I’d beat his a*s to pluto and back, blindfolded, he would have punched me with the look on his face.“Your side of the story.”“Look, I k

Tori’s POVI squeezed my eyes tight as the ringing in my head increased. I groaned in pain. My head hurt like a b*tch. I raised my hands to feel the back of my head where I knew my hair was matted and a lump was forming but my hands wouldn’t budge.I opened my eyes but there was almost no difference from when my eyes were shut. Everywhere was dark. Black. Black was the appropriate word. Was it day? Was it night? I couldn’t tell. How long had I passed out?I clenched my fists and pulled my hands but only a metal clang echoed in what I now poorly saw as a large empty and abandoned building. I was bound. Silver glinted in the dark. Were those metal rods?I tried to pull myself up but my feet wouldn’t budge either. Bound by hands and feet. I came up short on who could have done this. I hadn’t figured it out in months, thinking I could figure it right now was just fool’s hope. I had nothing else to do than to wait for an opportunity, an opening, something.What kind of sadistic human tied u

Kol’s POVWe had our stalker, now we had to find her. She was going to regret ever laying hands on what was mine. She had managed to make her face so forgettable and unsuspecting that she never crossed my mind.“The police are on their way.” They’d better be. I wasn’t going to wait for them. I looked for our employee records. This wasn’t some other company. It was mine and I had the right to do whatever. I pulled up Dara Pears’ records.“Her address?” Josh sneered beside me. Josh was just as pissed as I was. She had been right under our noses all this while.“Got it.” I put in the location into our map and Josh drove us there.“I can’t believe that tiny, shy f*cker is a f*cking stalker and assaulter. Did you know she liked you?” Josh stared at me incredulously for a few seconds and looked back to the road.“No. Of course not. I mean, I knew she was weird around me but she was weird around everybody.” I shivered in disgust. I remembered the thousands of roses, how she stalked my house.

WARNING: VIOLENT SCENCESTori’s POVThe swelling around my head and jaw where I had been hit hurt like h*ll. My legs had turned numb and I was sure there was a purpling bruise around my ankles just like they were around my wrists. My vision kept going in and out of focus. I was already partially blind without my glasses, the dim lighting only worsened the situation.Dara had gone out again to receive some call and everytime she came back, her mood worsened. She became agitated. She’d given me two kicks in the ribs because I had breathed too loud, sending me sprawling on the floor. I was hurting everywhere but my survival was paramount. I wasn’t sure anyone was coming to save me so, I had to save myself, if there was even any chance at all that I was going to make it.I hurriedly slipped my house key from beneath my hips where I lay and prayed. It was rare that different keys worked for the same lock but the off chance that it could had me fumbling for the locks of my wrist. If my apart

Kol’s POVThe sun had set and we had to use our phone torches to light our path.“We’ve tried almost every building here. Kol, I don’t think she’s here.” Josh panted hard behind me as he exited another of the many buildings around.“No. I’m not giving up. I know she’s here.”“Kol, I’m not sa…”“You can go sit in the car if you want. I’m not leaving here until I scour every inch of this place.” My tone turned hard.“F*ck you. You know I will never leave Tori if she’s actually here but we don’t know that and I wou…” Both of us paused in our search.“Did you hear that?” My chest constricted as the noise only increased.The screams were louder west of us and we ran towards the building almost tripping in our steps. The rubble was too much and dust coated the environment as we approached the entrance.I inhaled and coughed, the dust entering our lungs. The noise from inside gave us ample coverage to show up unannounced and also allowed us to go straight to where they were without delay.Th

EPILOGUE“Kol, this doesn’t look right.” Kol pulled the Christmas tree to the left again. I could see his veins about to pop as I shook my head. We’d been at it for almost 30 minutes straight and Kol was getting tired.“A little…” He groaned as he moved the tree a little to the right. There!“Perfect.” I huffed like I was the one doing all the work. Kol collapsed on the rug for a few minutes, probably thinking of new ways to most like strangle me and then stood up.“Baby, I’m sorry.” I kneaded his shoulders, his body relaxing under my touch.“It’s fine.” I placed a kiss on his back hoping to relieve his muscles but he turned rigid instead. I didn’t stop kissing his back though.“I think you should stop. Your dad will be coming over in a few hours and I would prefer the house smelling like hot chocolate and cookies.” He spun around to face me, grabbing my jaw.“Not wild s*x.” He always had a way of leaving me w*t and speechless every d*mn time.Now I wanted the whole place to smell like

“I cannot believe you woke up late. We should’ve left hours ago.” I smacked my forehead in exasperation.“You mean 30 minutes ago.”“You’re late. It’s all that matters.”Dimitri had an amused smile on his face as he watched Charlie and I bicker in the plane. They were all late, except for Kol and me. That was pretty much a given but Charlie was the latest of them all.“Can you too stop fighting so I can enjoy my champagne?” Josh was pouring a glass for Thea who had her sunglasses on, even in the plane, seemingly unbothered about everything.Both of them had been pissing me off.“What the f*ck is going on between both of you?”“They shagged.” Charlie pipped up beside me.“Ew! I cannot believe this.” My nose wrinkled in grossness.“Pay up.” Kol stretched out his hands. I now owed him a couple hundred dollars. Thea’s brows pinched together in confusion and sudden realisation.“They bet on us.” She pointed accusingly.“Why am I not surprised?” Josh glared at us, mainly at Kol.“How much?”

“Imagine having time to take care of your family because your app helps you work out your day effectively from just keeping track of what you do per time.”“We are in the age of health and lifestyle. An app that could sync up your life with routines that have been mastered by our app would make life so easier.” Everyone was paying rapt attention as I continued to speak.“For example, Miss Tina doesn’t usually work out but she syncs her app to her health. On Monday, she works out by 9, on Tuesday, she does the same. On Wednesday, she doesn’t work out at all. Maybe something else has her preoccupied at that moment.Our app notices these routines you have skipped throughout the day and reminds you at 9 that you haven’t worked out. You’re not forgetting anything and you’re not storing unnecessary data in you brain.”“It doesn’t just work with health, it works for anything that has a routine. Something you do every time. You don’t have any activity you’re forgetting because something is re

“How?” I couldn’t process my words. It was like I had entered a new realm where the sun had been replaced with fairy lights. Concrete had been replaced with soft grass that tickled my feet. I pried open strings of steams and walked into the space before me.“Was that…” Julia Michael’s song played in the background but this song felt different than when I first heard it. It felt like a lifeline, my lifeline. The song that had pulled me out of a wandering abyss at the hospital.I’d been so caught up in the beauty of the environment that I hadn’t noticed Kol in the centre of everything, standing right there. My eyes welled up with tears and my mouth felt very dry.I walked slowly to him and stopped where he stood.“Kol, what is all this?” I gestured to everything he’d set up. His hands found mine and squeezed.I looked up at him and my heart raced within its cage. There was a new emotion in his eyes I hadn’t seen before. Contentment. He seemed content with everything, his life. Gosh, I w

“Thea, meet Charlie. Charlie, meet Thea.” I motioned to both of them as we converged outside Thea’s new place. She’d moved into Charlie’s neighbourhood and thought we should all just meet at her place since she hadn’t been properly introduced to Charlie.Both of them smiled at each other and Thea being Thea just ran off her mouth.“You’re so pretty. D*mn. If I were into girls, I would lick you up.” I threw her a disgusted look. Some thoughts were better left as thoughts. Charlie didn’t mind though as her cheeks turned rosy.“Can we please go inside?” I rolled my eyes at both of them.We joked around for a few hours and I could tell that they would be fast friends. They were so similar in nature, both beautiful, fashionable and resilient, tough nuts to crack, but would defend what they thought was right with all they had.Thea looked at her phone surreptitiously and turned it off. She’d been acting edgy all day. Was she expecting a call from someone?“What is it?” I whispered beside he

We sat inside David's study. A room with wood that looked richer than my bank account. It probably was richer. The shelf behind him held so many books that had been considered priceless or just lost to most of the world.His house looked just as elegant as it did outside on the inside. The couches smelled of expensive leather and one could smell a citrus-cinnamon scent everywhere else.We all sat in the living room just staring at one another until Gerald came in to ask for what we'd eat, his stare at me unwavering. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat.We'd all echoed the same thing."No, thank you. I'm fine."When he saw no need for his services, he calmly left the room, sparing me a final glance before exiting the door.I didn't know where to start or how to David's face wasn't welcoming. He looked angry but he hadn't thrown me out yet. So, that counted for something.Instead of leading with a 'why the f*ck did you help me?', I asked something entirely different. "How long have you

I went up to the room and lay in bed, looking up at the ceiling but not noticing it.First I was shocked, then I was mad. Shortly after I was confused. Why?Kol walked on eggshells around me all night, not knowing how to handle the situation for once. I understood that there was no choice and he was the only option in that moment but why had he done it?I was under the impression that he hated me and that I should’ve died in place of his wife. He’d made that abundantly clear. If you asked me, I thought that was a very obvious opportunity for his wishes to be fulfilled.While I continued staring at the ceiling, Kol glanced at me surreptiously.“I’m sorry.” I turned my face to fully look at him.“I’m not mad at you. I would’ve done the same thing.” I would’ve. His life over any other thing. That would’ve been my choice too.“I’m just… honestly, I don’t really know how to feel.” I moved a lock of hair from his forehead and left my hand on his face, cupping his cheek.“That’s fine. If you

FIVE WEEKS LATERTori’s POV.“I swear, I’ll kill him if he tries to bring a spoon near me to feed me.” I hissed through my teeth.Thea chuckled beside me as she got the bath ready for me. I’d come back from the hospital and Kol had been treating me like I was made of glass, carrying me everywhere, spoon-feeding me, tucking me in bed.I was tired and he was slowly getting on my nerves. I’d thrown a fit when he’d demanded that I let him feed me. My arms were f*cking fine. I was fine. I still needed bed rest but I could do a few activities without groaning so loudly.“It is so weird to see Kol like this. I think it’s best if you just let him baby you. We don’t know when he’d go back to cold - no emotions Kol.” She was right but it was getting overbearing.I rolled my eyes at her.“I am serious about killing him though. He won’t go beyond holding my hands though.”“What else do you want him to do? He’s scared he might break you.” Her eyes glinted mischievously at me. I scrunched up my nos

Tori was awake. I couldn’t believe my eyes. The doctors couldn’t either.They were all shocked at her miraculous recovery. She could barely speak or move much. She still needed weeks of rest and medical care but she was awake. It was all that mattered.I watched her sleep and wake up, drink water when she was parched, cleaned her myself and then watched her some more for long hours.My phone rang, disrupting my new position as the room hawk and mother hen according to Thea who was asleep in a very uncomfortable position by the way.“How’s she?” Josh had also rushed over, dropping every other thing when he had heard she was awake but returned back to work shortly after.“She’s asleep.” He sighed deeply and then continued to talk some more about work. We were doing fine, thanks to Josh. The short period when Tori was almost lifeless, there were moments of reflection where I realised that not a lot actually mattered to me in the grand scheme of things. The grand scheme of things being sp
