Gratitude
Days happened so fast. For the span of two to three days, all of those situations happened like a snap. I was still coping up and trying to accept it all slowly and surely. Like what Elijah told me, the past may be a big part of today, but I won’t gamble my future for depending too much on the past.
For now, I’ll focus on what’s on my plate. On things that are important.”Zoey, everything okay?” I asked her.She seemed out of energy as usual. Usually, she’ll be talking to me endlessly like her mouth is not getting tired but now, she’s just spaced out playing with her food here in the cafe.””Yeah.”I narrowed my eyes on her.
”Actually no.” she sulked and put her cutlery harshly.I sighed heavily. I knew it.”Why? What happened?”She pouted and looked at me. I was taken back by her intimidating looks at me. Don’t tell me I’m the problem?”Don’t get me wrong, Emma. I’m not mad at you nor anything. It’s just
mheyfernandez10I made this chapter specifically dedicated for the people who helped Emma through this journey. This is me thanking you for helping me reach this point. And yes, the first phase of her life is coming to an end. This is the 69th chapter so the next chapter (70th) will be that last chapter of the first phase. And just like the purpose of this chapter, this is me sending my GRATITUDE! xoxo

Fooling the CEO My calm in the chaos
Reaching the last step of the stairs, I peeked to his direction. A small smile appeared on my lips when I saw the man I’m looking for. He’s wearing gray lounge shorts and a loose black t-shirt.He’s on the second floor of his penthouse where his office is located. I saw him in front of his laptop, typing seriously. Even though I can only see one side of his face, it is clear in my vision that his eyebrows are for sure meeting each other. That’s his natural complex. The mad man who always looks mad. Well, I should add up to that. I mean, handsome mad man.Even when I’m standing on the last step of the stairs, due to his concentration he still wasn't able to notice me. A wicked idea lighted inside my head. Slowly, I came near his direction.I bowed down and hugged him from his back.”Boo,” I whispered.He didn’t even flinch. He just looked at me with that handsome smile on his face. He immediately grabbed me by the arms and made me sit on his lap. I
Fooling the CEO We are not the same
”My! Look at you!” Zoey squealed, scanning me from head to toe.My cheeks flushed standing in front of her full body sized mirror. She made me wear her heels and some of her what she calls ‘go-see’ clothes.”My clothes are still a bit loose because of your tiny frame. You want to shop for clothes?” she casually asked.I harshly shook my head in disapproval. “No. I think I have a pair of jeans at home and this top. I need to borrow your heels though.” I said.”Oh, you can just have those. I still have a lot in my closet.” she winked.And that’s how the new chapter of my life goes. The next few days are like a gasp of breath. The end of our first year is almost coming to an end.We both focused on our studies first before going on into our plans.”Yes, I’ll be going home early today. We just have a few subjects to take.” I said to t
Fooling the CEO Truth and Lies
I was almost out of my mind when we arrived at the building where I assume my father is hiding. How did he know all of this? I don’t know. ”Why are you doing this, Angelo? Why are you helping me?” I asked eagerly while he unlocked one of the doors in this building. He smiled lightly without looking at me. “I know you’re loyal to your man now. I just knew you wanted to help him with his errands.” My brows shot up with his shady answer. What? When the door finally sprang free. I saw the inside of the place. It’s a studio type apartment, nothing seems to look so special. The single window at the wall has broken glass. There are empty bottles of beer everywhere, and the smell… suddenly sent a gruesome memory in my head I can’t exactly figure out. I unconsciously walk inside which Angelo let me do it. I don’t even know why we are here, or who’s place it was. I scanned the whole place looking for anything and the next scene surprised me. The
Fooling the CEO They Died
Funny how life plays with you. One moment you’re looking at yourself living the life you dreamed of. Then another day comes, it all fades away.”Emma, we have to clean your wound.”I made my strides fast because I didn’t want Angelo to follow me. He didn’t sense that. Instead, he grabbed my wrist to stop me.”Fuck off!” I shrugged his hands.I saw how his eyes widened a little because of my sudden violence. He can’t blame me. All I heard was too much. I still can’t process everything that I heardand now he’s crowding me.”I just want to help you with your wound.” he said.”I don’t fucking care!” I shouted harshly. “Drive me back before my bodyguard would even cut your throat.” I said out of anger.His expression didn’t even change.”You think I’ll be scared? That w
Fooling the CEO I can't.
“Are you alright?” Elijah’s first words when he saw me. I couldn’t look him in the eye.”You made me so damn worried. Where did you go and why did you leave your phone?” he continued questioning me. My yes passed by his worried face. I bit my lip and avoided his eyes.”I’m… I was just looking for an ice cream parlor.” That sound so dumb but who cares? I couldn’t think straight anymore. ”What is that?” My body turned cold. I know what he’s trying to pinpoint here. He tried to touch it but I turned my head to the other side. ”I bumped into a street light a while ago. Can I go to my room now?” His lips are in thin straight line. I couldn’t read his expression but I’m sensing he’s not buying my reasons. All I did was to look at my foot while waiting for his answer. ”Alright.
Fooling the CEO Compromise
I’ve watched this scene in a movie before. When the lead girl slowly drifts away from his man, not because she doesn’t love him anymore but for the sake of the good turning of situations. Funny how people have been wanting to be loved, but end up sacrificing things for that love as well. I really don’t get it. I feel like I’m not supposed to be in this world anymore. ”It’s too late Emma. Why are you still not going home?” Lulu asked me. I ignored her and continued to play with my food. I ordered this food for us. Today is Sunday. It’s supposed to be a free day but I chose to busy myself with some errands. I requested for my manager to give me a schedule for today, I finished it this afternoon. Afterwards, I went straight to Lulu’s place. Time felt like a mirage. Slowly, my life is drifting into a kind of lifestyle I never imagined my life to be. Now, I’m a freelance model with the help of Zoey. I’m in my first year of college ”Can I stay for t
Fooling the CEO Forgive me
”Oh? Aren’t you too early? Your shoot starts at nine, it's still seven in the morning, early bird!”Calista, Zoey’s manager before and now, my manager greeted me with those words. I sat on the chair in front of her and put my bag on the table. As soon as I hit the soft cushion I closed my eyes feeling the lack of sleep.”I forgot about the schedule.” I reasoned out.When in fact, I really did go to work early with the intention of not seeing Elijah, and to avoid any conversations with him.Calista just shrugged at my answer, he’s currently busy doing something. The studio is still unpacked with people. Later, all the staff will arrive. Due to tiredness, I didn’t notice that I had a nap sitting on the chair. When I opened my eyes, busy people were surrounding me.Some of the people are wondering why am I so tired, some are guessing it’s because I’m busy and have a lot on
Fooling the CEO Deserve
As much as I wanted to get away, these tiny gestures of Elijah gave me the most hard time. That’s why my only escape is to busy myself and reason out ridiculous things just so I can buy more time.”Sorry Angelo, I had few subjects to attend.” I said to him,We met in a coffee shop. He just nodded lightly and offered me the drink he bought before I arrived. I thanked him.”How are you?” he asked.”I’m fine. Good. Uhm, how about you?”He’s looking straight at me, one thing about Angelo is that kind of feel he gives in people. He is indeed a comfortable person to be with but with his reflexes, he never fails to make people feel awkward, or is it just me?”I’m not gonna beat around the bush anymore. I know you know the reason for this meet up.””About my father,” I answered.He nodded. “But before I
