* Best CEO ever, Mark Molt!!! *

*clap, clap, clap*

Everyone applauded as Mark stood in the centre of the law firm. He smiled from ear to ear, showing of his deep dimples. He was every girls dream guy, but he was also a married man with kids. The ultimate party animal. With hair so black and sleek and a well chiseled face, he could be called God's gift to women. His eyes so blue like the deepest ocean and lips that invited you in, woman had to fight the urge that he is a happily married man. The only motivation they had to remind them was the white gold band on his ring finger. He sipped his whiskey that his best friend, Charlie handed him as he looked around the room. Everyone was stunning, including the ugly duckling of the firm, Jessica Brown.

As a joke, they gave her a gift box to hand him. She walked through the crowd stumbling in her heels. This was not her usual get up. She usually had her hair up in a messy bun, formal baggy pants, long bulky sweaters and pumos but today she looked like a minx.

As she reached closer towards him, a foot stuck out and she stumbled across the floor almost throwing herself at him. 

Mark expertly grabbed her in his arms as her hair brushed his face. Jessica looked up at him, embarrassed. Her white cheeks now red as a tomato. The gift she was carrying dropped onto the floor and opened up revealing a leopard print male thong and handcuffs.

Everyone roared in laughter as Charlie picked up the items in the air for everyone to see. Mark knew this was a joke. His office staff always preyed on the weak and unfortunately for the last 6 months it was Jessica. 

Jessica looked at the items and then at Mark, a single tear slipped her eye as she dashed to the bathroom stumbling along the way. 

Before she reached the bathroom, the heel on ther red stiletto gave in and she fell onto the hard tiled floor. 

* crack*

Her ankle twisted and she laid sprawled on the floor. The pain radiated up her calf as she tried to sit up.

A large set of hands picked her up swiftly and placed her on a nearby chair. She looked into the deep blue eyes of her saviour. His face was in a frown," why on earth would you be wearing a shoe you can't walk in, let alone run in?".

Jessica stared at him blankly, she was in so much pain her brain could not process the words coming out of his mouth. He straightened her leg. 

"Ouch", Jessica cried. 

Mark ran his hand over her ankle and asked her to wiggle her toes, " seems like nothing is broken, just a minor sprain". 

He called Charlie and asked him to take her to the hospital and thereafter to her home to rest. 

" Please recover, your health is important" Mark said as he turned around and headed back to the party. 

Jessica's heart warmed at his concern which was short lived. Charlie steadied her on her feet and swung her arm around his neck forcing her to hop on her right leg to the elevator. He was annoyed. He would be missing the party because of this ugly fugly duckling. 

He took her to the Emergency room at Winston private hospital. " What's yout husbands number", he asked rolling his eyes. Jessica called out the numbers as he dailed. 

After two rings the call was picked up. 

" Hello, is this Mr Brown?, it's Jessica's managing supervisor at work. Please can you fetch your wife from Winston private hospital, she has a sprained ankle". 

" And so what must I do, she shouldn't have even been at that party in the first damn place. After hours, shaking her damn ass at work while I'm watching our daughter............. It's not my problem" Simon Brown shouted through the phone before hanging up. 

Jessica could tell by the look on Charlie's face that the conversation did not go well. She knew her husband was a good for damn nothing, but that was her everyday life. Charlie looked at her with pity, " guess I will be dropping you at home fugly". 

Jessica hung her head in shame. This was her third job in one year. She always tried to hide her situation but it always became the reason behind her resignations, which were one too many.

She felt she could never make it on her own as a single parent so she just stayed with him. She played with her fingers for as she decided to submit her resignation. 

Charlie waited in the waiting area as the doctor tended to her swollen foot, gently wrapping it in a crepe bandage and giving her a pethedine injection. 

The nurse called Charlie in,"Sir, your wife has just been given a strong painkiller and may be disoriented and drowsy for a while. She requires lots of bed rest. You can take her home". 

Charlie did not correct the nurse," He is definitely not her husband" he thought to himself. He looked at her drowsy face and his heart sank just thinking about her situation. 

He wanted to help. She maybe the office ugly duckling, but she is a person after all. His conscious got the better of him. As he drove her home he wracked his brains trying to think of ways to help her. 

After twenty long silent minutes he pulled into her driveway. It was a rund down building. His face was wrinkled with worry, as he looked at the shabby blocks of flats. This was a nice area ane this building stuck out like a sore thumb.

He gently lifted a sleepy Jessica and carried her to her apartment. 

After the conversation he had with Simon, he knew that this would not go well. He stood at the door gathering his courage. This was not what he signed up for.

    *Knock, knock*As Charlie held a sleeping Jessica, he leaned against the wall for support outside her door and strained his arm to knock on her door. He knocked the door quiet hard since no one had answered the door yet, he started to pang his closed fist against the door in frustration. Jessica was dead weight. His arm was becoming numb. He heard the lock on the doot turn and out came a stubby man. Round as a barrel, smelling of cheetos. It was an unpleasant sight and smell. He had never seen such a disgusting person in his life before living in an apartment. He belonged on a street corner, begging for change. " So YOU brought her home. Did you have a good time, was it so good she sprained her ankle and fell asleep".Just leave her on the bed as he motioned Charlie to leave her on their bed. He left her down gently. He walked to the living room to see that everything was a mess. There was dishes piled on the coffee table, clothes in the floor and beer cans piled next to the couch. C

  • Cheated by the CEO   Chapter 4. Resignation

    Jessica woke up with a throbbing headache. Her head ached, her foot ached. Her body ached. Everything just ached. She sat up slowly trying not to strain her foot. As her thoughts flooded into her mind with the events of last night, she felt nauseas. She remembered going to the hospital and then everything was blank.Jessica was blank. She really could not remember anything after the hospital and this made her panic. She could feel an anxiety attack rising within her. Her chest tightened. She felt as if she was suffocating. She cupped her hands over her mouth taking a few deep, quick breathes. A technique she learnes when she was a child. It was something she lived with most of her life. Whenever she got stressed out, even by the most slightest things, she would freak out drastically, leading to a panic attack. As she calmed down and started to massage her temples her daughter jumped on the bed next to her. " Hey mom, what happened to your foot?" she asked, her eyebrows now furrowed. Sh

He waited for Mrs Blunder, who was his secretary for the last fifteen years, to bring his coffee. She had been bringing him his coffee since the day she started. She was as old as his grandmother, he assumed. Her grey hair and wrinkled face had much warmth and love. He adored her. This year will be her retirement. She decided to stay on until sixty five although sixty was the retirement age. She was as fit as a fiddle. Never complained, seldom took sick leave or any leave for that matter. He was going to miss her.She was truly a valued member of the law firm family. Mrs Blunder handed him his coffee," extra hot, extra strong, extra milk and no sugar, just how you like it son". His heart melted just hearing the little old lady. Indeed he will miss her. She had three more months until retirement. He wished she didn't have to go. Mark tried to persue her to sta

    Charlie Knocked at the door reluctantly. Mrs Blunder had already informed him of his bosses bad mood. It was the only suitable thing to do. Just as she adored Mark, she also adored Charlie. ''Come in'', was Marks cold voice.He stared daggers into Charlie. Charlie had goosebumps just looking at his boss. There was all sorts off assumptions running through his head about last night when he asked Charlie to attend to her. ''Hey bro, you called?, Whatsup?'' Charlie asked nervously, eyeing out his bosses face. It was grim. '' Did he do something wrong?, he could not think of anything. He always double checked his work'' ,Charlie thought,'' is it even work related??? Still I do not remember doing anything wrong. We had the bro code, I would never divulge his life, to anyone, not even his own wife'' '' Charlie, did something happen between you and Jessica last night'', Mark held a questioning look, it was almost frightening if you did not know him.

    Mark sat frozen. He would have never guessed the incident that had happened. It was as if he had heard about a movie scene and he wanted to make it into a real life movie. He wanted to make it exciting and spicy. A smile spread across his thin lips and there was a hint of mischief in his eyes. '' Well Charlie, If he thinks his wife has the standards of having an affair, lets give him his dream that he is holding on to'' Mark smirked. ''First I am going to give her the option of coming back to work, with a lucrative package. Once she is back, I am going to enjoy moulding and sculpting her. Mr Brown is going to wish he never treated her like a doormat''. ''Bro, no offence but please do not get too carried away. Remember you have a family of your own, the last time you did this, you bedded the woman for almost two whole years. I had to pay her a fortune to get lost'' Charlie spoke out of concern,"We cannot keep altering the books for the tax man. You need to get your shit in order. Th

    *Ping* One email received. Jessica opened her mail. Her jaw dropped open in surprise. She could not believe her eyes. She could not believe what she was reading on her screen. She read through eagerly. "$ 15000, oh my freaking gosh" She wanted to scream out in excitement but she didn't want to alert her husband. Jessica was totally freaking out. Her brain was scattered in her head like a scrambled egg. She thought her eyes were deceiving her. " 3 times my salary", she thought. " He must really want me!!!" " After last nights appearance. I must have left a lasting impression in his heart". "I need to have him, I must have him". " He is everything a woman could want, and he will be mine. All mine". Her thoughts were running wild in her head. If he could give her this much now, he was going to be hers to give her the extravagant life that she thought she deserved. She will extort it from him. She will make him fall deeply in love with her. She will be everything he has dreamed
