Bound by the CEO: Torn by Lies An Angry Bird
Melissa stepped into the living room from the kitchen, holding a cleaning rag to wipe the table. Charlie had many servants, as he had said, but Melissa insisted on helping with the household chores as her way of thanking him for being kind to her. Her tummy was protruding, and she feared Charlie would find out she was pregnant soon, so she wore baggy gowns to hide it.One day, she stepped on her long gown, stumbled, and nearly fell over.“I told you to wear normal clothes," he scolded her as he caught her.There was something about him that made Melissa's heart flutter, something she rarely felt around Jared. She felt safe and at peace with him.In the days she had spent in his house, he had been more than good to her. He treated her like a sister, and even the servants praised their boss for being a kind and wonderful man.“I wish I could marry him," joked one of the servants, a middle-aged woman, causing the others to laugh.“The boss is indeed handsome, but I’m not sure settling wi

“So, when were you going to tell me about it?” Charlie asked two days after Melissa was discharged from the hospital. She was seated on the bed, her head hanging low in sorrow. "How long did you plan to keep it from me?”"I don't know,” she replied with a shrug, looking up at him. "I'm tired of this life. Everything I do seems to go wrong. Why can't I be normal like everyone else? My mom wanted me to be a business administrator, to take over my father's company as CEO. She also wanted me to stop drinking and hanging out with my friends. My life got messier when I had to explain myself to everyone. I don’t want to keep answering questions about my life! Sometimes, I feel like I've lost something inside me. Just leave me alone!” she cried, tears brimming in her eyes as she jumped to her feet, trying to walk away."Come back here!” Charlie pulled her back onto the bed. “You don’t walk out on your elders, okay?" he scolded.“I don’t care. I just want to get out of your space. It's better

“Boss, you need to wake up. You’ll catch a cold sleeping here,” Melissa said to Charlie, who only stirred in response. "I wonder when you started drinking heavily like this. What am I going to do now? The others have gone to bed," she thought. “Boss, you need to pull yourself up," she said, grabbing his hand and trying to lift him. “I can’t carry you. Offer a helping hand." “I’m awake, Lisa. Let go," Charlie groaned, yanking his hand away from Melissa’s and forcing himself to his feet. “Stop acting like you care.” He turned to go upstairs, stumbling against the table and staggering back. He almost fell, but Melissa caught him from behind. With all his weight against her, she exhaled. “Let’s go to your room,” she said, leading him upstairs with his arm draped over her shoulders. “You don’t know what you did, do you?” he slurred in a drunken haze as Melissa practically dragged him along. “Watch your step,” she told him. It took over ten minutes for Melissa to lead Charlie to

As Charlie descended the stairs, his ginger-brown hair fell over his chiseled features, framing his bright hazel eyes that sparkled like morning dew. His confident strides exuded an almost divine aura.With each step, his entire being radiated effortless charm, as if he'd just emerged from a sunrise, his flawless complexion glowing with a warm, golden light that seemed to brighten the space around him.He was always a sight to behold, and no one underestimated his charm, but this morning was different. His smile was as radiant as sunlight, and his tone was soft as he called out to Melissa.His servants paused to stare at him, bewildered by their boss’s sudden transformation. He was never this cheerful, always waking up with a frown and responding to their greetings as though they were part of a bad dream.“Good morning, boss!" they chorused, curtsying slightly with their eyes fixed on the floor.“Good morning, ladies. How was your night?" he asked, his smile unwavering. They looked up

Melissa sat on her bed, folding her washed clothes while humming a song. She had decided to let her past go for the moment, focusing more on her role as a soon-to-be mother. She was trying to forgive herself for being so foolish over the years, for neglecting her mother’s teachings and ending up as a rebellious, spoiled daughter. If only she could turn back time, maybe she would have been working in her father's office, enjoying the luxury of being part of the De Leon legacy. No one is perfect, and she had learned her lesson the hard way. But for now, though living under someone else’s mercy, she had decided to be happy. She owed that to herself and her baby.“Baby, I’m sorry for making you go through all this, okay?” she said, caressing her tummy as she finished folding her clothes. “I promise to make you the happiest child alive, even without your daddy. Just know that Mommy loves you so much,” she smiled softly. Suddenly, she felt a gentle tap in her stomach and gasped, startled by

It was a beautiful Monday morning. The trees swayed gently in the breeze, as if greeting the start of a new day. The streets of Beverly Hills were calm yet vibrant, with polished cars gleaming under the sunlight. The aroma of fresh coffee lingered in the air from nearby cafes, mingling with the scent of blooming flowers in the gardens. The neighborhood exuded a peacefulness that felt almost dreamlike, as though everything was just a little too perfect.But this peace didn’t extend to Charlie’s home. The small household was awake early, seeing their boss off on a trip to New York City. Melissa had just walked him out, reminding him to be careful and to return soon. His car rolled out of the driveway, and Melissa smiled as though she had just won a Grammy award.“Don’t miss him too much; he’ll be back soon,” Ms. Martha teased as they walked back inside.“And why would I miss my boss?” Melissa shot back, glaring at her. “As long as my salary keeps coming, I’m fine.”“Says the woman wavin

A few months passed, and Melissa’s tummy had fully protruded, making it hard for her to sleep at night. She woke up every hour, feeling pain here and there. Her legs felt heavier, almost making it impossible for her to move as quickly as she used to. Though Charlie tried to be there for her, his work became demanding, with one appointment after another. This week was particularly hectic because his company was vying for a contract worth millions of dollars. A rival company pushed them to work harder, with his staff putting in long hours to secure the deal. Charlie, who never tolerated laziness or incompetence, worked harder than anyone else and promised his team handsome rewards if they succeeded. Though motivated, the staff found the workload daunting. However, when the boss works ten times harder, complaining isn’t an option. Charlie returned home exhausted. The walk from the garage to the living room felt endless. Ms. Renetta rushed to take his briefcase, greeting him p

The baby was immediately taken away as the doctors discovered he had breathing problems. “Where are they taking him?” Melissa demanded. “Just relax. He’ll be fine,” Charlie assured her, but she wasn’t convinced. “They didn’t let me hold him. They just left. Is my child okay? What are they doing to him?” she cried. “Do you think I’d let them do anything wrong to him?” he said, and she relaxed. “He’s in the NICU, receiving urgent medical attention,” he explained. “Thank you for being here with me. I would have given up without your support,” she said gratefully. “It’s nothing. I’m happy you made it through,” he smiled, grabbing her hand and kissing her knuckles. “I’ll always be here, okay?” “You missed your presentation because of me. You’re supposed to be angry,” she said, feeling guilty. Charlie chuckled. “Why would I be angry? I can always get another contract, but if I lose you, how do I get you back?” His reply made Melissa’s eyes water. Sh

“No, I don’t want that,” Eureka said as Raymond held out a dress for her. They had gone shopping together over the weekend.“But it’s red. It’ll suit you perfectly,” he argued, pressing the dress against her body. “Isn’t this lovely?”“You clearly don’t know my size. I’d barely be able to breathe if I wore that,” she said, walking away.“Is that so?” He returned the dress to the shelf and followed her. “You seem to be getting even more…”“Are you saying I’m gaining weight?” She spun to face him. “What the hell, Raymond? I go to the gym once a week, sometimes diet, and—”“You’re getting me wrong, babe,” Raymond cut her off, wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her closer. “That’s not what I meant.” He pressed his lips to hers briefly. “You’re just perfect. I was only referring to your…” He trailed off, squeezing her ass cheek. She gasped.“You’re so naughty,” she pulled away from him. “What if someone sees you doing that?” Her eyes scanned their surroundings.“Do I care?” He s

Raymond sat on the couch in the living room, his laptop resting on his lap as his fingers moved effortlessly over the keyboard, his eyes fixed on the screen. The doorbell rang, pulling his attention to the door. One of his servants went to answer it. “Who is it?” Raymond asked in a deep tone. Then, Eureka entered, walking with such grace that it captivated him. His heart skipped a beat as she stood by the entrance, her eyes piercing his with an indifference he couldn’t read. “Eureka?” he called in disbelief. She hadn’t visited him since she arrived in the States. “Hi, Raymond,” she waved like a princess in a fairytale. As she moved closer, an inexplicable feeling settled within him. Her tone was different, unlike what he had gotten used to. She sounded friendlier, more familiar than Miss Bennett. “How have you been?” she asked, sitting beside him. “I wasn’t expecting you,” he said, closing his laptop. “You love surprising me with visits, so I decided to return the favor to

“Where are you taking me?” the woman cried, struggling against Eureka’s men as they dragged her toward the car. “You have no right, Eureka! Tell them to let me go!”The men shoved her into the car, trapping her between them. Eureka stood by the door, her gaze cold and piercing. The woman had caused her too much pain. “You deserve a more comfortable home, stepmother,” Eureka smirked, then the door slammed shut. She watched the car drive away before stepping into her own and speeding off.“To everyone who hurt and abandoned me, be prepared. To those who died before tasting their own medicine, I hope you rot in hell,” Eureka whispered under her breath, her eyes filling with tears. “These will be the last tears I shed because of you all. And to my dearest mom, even though you changed at the last minute, I still love you. Rest in perfect peace, Mom,” she sobbed as tears rolled down her cheeks, blurring her vision.Suddenly, a car swerved into her path. She slammed the brakes, jerking forwa

Eureka recoiled as the woman staggered to her feet, dropping her cigarette butt to the floor."Eu... Eureka?" the woman stuttered, her voice barely above a whisper. A chill of fear trailed down her spine as she curled against the wall, feeling overwhelmed and lost.Eureka’s eyes shifted from the woman to the framed picture on the wall. There was something about the man in the image that drew her in. Her heart skipped a beat, a wave of nostalgia washing over her. Disjointed memories and streams of disconnected words flooded her mind, making her head throb painfully. Her bag slipped from her hand, landing on the floor with a soft thud. Her body trembled, her heart pounding as she fought to compose herself. But she couldn’t. She wailed, clutching her head as if trying to keep it from exploding.“What’s wrong?” Mara asked, trying to hold Eureka, who sank to the floor, unable to support herself any longer.“Get... get her out of my house!” the woman snarled. “I don’t want to see her,” she

“Everything feels so wrong now, Dad,” Aveline whined, holding her phone to her ear. “I’ve spent over a month in this house, yet nothing has changed. I can’t go to the office, I can’t get close to Kaiden, and worst of all, nobody even knows I’m her daughter. What’s the point of all this if everything is working against me?”“I understand how you feel, dear. You’ll be out of there soon. Just give me more time,” her father said.“What time, Dad? I want to come home tomorrow. They’re driving me crazy in this house! Besides, it’s my birthday. What am I supposed to tell my friends? What will you say happened to me?” she grumbled, stamping her foot.“You didn’t inform me before getting involved with that witch, so why do you need my help now? I’m sick of living a lie. I can’t pretend anymore. If you don’t do something by tomorrow, you’ll wake up and find me right at the door,” she snapped and hung up. Turning around, she gasped, stumbling back as she saw Eureka standing behind her.“M…Mom?”

Eureka returned home, dragging her feet against the floor as if they were in shackles. Her heart was heavy. She had never regretted anything in her life as much as she regretted sending Kailani away. Kailani’s face loomed over hers, her teary eyes pleading for her to listen. The memory haunted her, making her heart skip beats. Tears brimmed at the edge of her eyes, and she fought to keep them from falling.“Mom?” Aveline called, meeting Eureka on the staircase. “Did he refuse to come along?” she asked.“I want to be left alone,” Eureka muttered, walking away. She could barely contain her emotions. Her conscience stabbed at her like a dagger to the heart. Aveline watched as Eureka trudged upstairs, burdened as if the weight of the world had been dropped on her shoulders.As she entered her room and closed the door, she let herself collapse into her own little world. Her emotions shattered her. Her bag slipped from her hands, and she dropped onto the stool, allowing the relentless tears

Eureka burst into the house, her bag slipping from her hand at the sight of her servants gathered in the living room, trying to revive Aveline, who was slumped on the couch.“What happened to her?” Eureka rasped, dropping down and cradling Aveline’s head in her lap. Hearing her mother’s voice, Aveline opened her eyes, her chest heaving, heat coursing through her body.“Mom?” she muttered, trying to steady her breathing.“I’m here, sweetheart. What happened to you?” Tears rolled down Eureka’s cheeks, fear coursing through her veins.Aveline sat up with Eureka’s support, her hand clawing at her chest. “She… she tried to…” She pointed a shaky finger at Kailani, who stood with a worried expression, rubbing her clammy hands on her skirt.“She poisoned… my food,” Aveline gasped. Kailani staggered back, her eyes widening in shock. “She wanted to kill me, Mom.”“Kailani?” Eureka’s voice was barely audible as she looked at Kailani, who was already trembling. “What… wh

Kailani sat on a swing in the backyard, staring at the lush, kaleidoscopic flowers. The wind was a soothing sensation against her tender skin. A soft, sorrowful smile spread across her face as her eyes wandered into the wilderness.“I wish you were here, Dad,” she muttered to herself, her tone filled with longing. “You would have been preparing for my birthday party by now. I miss our moments together—our laughter, our bond, and the way you loved me. Maybe Mom wouldn’t have turned out this way if you hadn’t left.” Tears rolled down her sunken cheeks. “I wish we could talk right now. I don’t know how long I can hold this secret in my heart. Miss Bennett is a good woman; she deserves to know the truth. Am I being selfish for not telling her she’s harboring the wrong child? Is it wrong to prioritize my own safety over the family that took me in? What if Aveline is up to something? What if she wants to harm Kaiden and his mom? Will I be able to forgive myself if anything happens to them?

“You need to calm down, Kaiden!” Kailani called after him as he stormed out of the car, leaving his backpack behind. She grabbed it and hurried after him. “Don’t do anything stupid. Just listen to me, please.”Kaiden didn’t listen. His loud, thumping heartbeat drowned out her words. He burst into the house, slamming the door so hard that Kailani jerked back as it nearly hit her face.“Aveline!” Kaiden shouted, his voice ringing through the house and alerting everyone. Even Eureka, who had been taking a nap, jolted awake. Everyone rushed out to see what was happening—except Aveline. She knew what she had done, so she stayed in her room.“Son? What is it?” Eureka asked, her heart racing at the thought of something bad happening to him.“Where is that psycho you brought into this house?” he demanded, his hands trembling with anger. “Aveline!” he shouted again. “If I come up there, you’ll regret stepping foot into this house. Come out right now!”“Relax, son. You’re boiling. Tell me what
