2024-10-29 19:42:56At the entrance of the building where he lives, a clean and sleek black car is waiting. I stretched my neck more to see the surroundings because men in black are just everywhere. A bald man in uniform is standing at the side of the car which this ‘Mr. Anderson’ approached.
I stopped some meters away. I saw the man handed him the key and his lips moved lightly like he just said something. The bald man in uniform just nodded. I scanned the place and saw more men.I find it weird that he’s this heavily guarded. Like as if this man deserves to live. Well, money will indeed keep you breathing. Look at him, for sure if he's not rich the world would not care about him. He’s evil and vain.
“Emma.”
He got my attention. I saw him holding the car’s door wide open. I pursed my lips and held the hem of my dress while walking into his direction because of how strong the wind was. Our cold eyes met for some seconds before he closed theRelated chapters
Fooling the CEO She, who he remembers
For the short period of time that I’ve been with him. All I can say is that he’s always on the phone. For the whole time that we’re eating our meal, he picks up an unending number of calls.”I’ll call you later.” his favorite line so far.I just stayed silent as I ate the food that’s being served on us. I badly want to avoid looking at him and having any conversation.”Yes. Shop for her clothes and…” he said while he talks to this ‘one’ call.”What else do you need?” he asked me. My eyes widened a little. I blinked because I don’t know why he’s suddenly asking me.”Do you need anything? Except for clothes and other amenities.” he continued.I timidly shook my head. He just looked at me and continued talking to the caller. I just listened to him until he’s done.A well groomed woman suddenly came out of nowhere and walked into his side.”Mr. Lee has arrived already.” she informed him.He shifted on his seat and his forehe
Fooling the CEO Can't Talk
”Emma.” He called me after he stopped the car. From my knowledge, we came back into his penthouse.Before he could even say anything I stepped outside his car. I don’t want to hear anything from him. I just want to be alone. ”Emma!” he called out. I made my steps faster so he would not reach me. But his foot steps are large and fast that he came after me. I came into the lift and so he did. I’m full of rage. Seeing that man who abused me years ago disgusted me, not just of him but more of myself. Inside the lift, all can hear was his deep sighs. I can see in my peripheral view that he’s eyeing me from to time but my eyes are straight into the front. Being in the same space with him is suffocating me. All I want is to be gone in this moment. The moment the door opened I stepped out immediately. He’s quick reflexes stopped me. He grabbed my arm and made me face him. ”Wait, Emma—&nbs
Fooling the CEO Conditions
I don’t know what’s with him that makes me nervous every time he’s near me. That kind of nervousness that didn’t leveled any nervousness I’ve felt in my whole life. His dark aura that surrounds him makes me want to hate him more. He looks young to be a successful business man, and mind you I’ll lie if I say he doesn’t have the looks. Because he’s looking fine. But I’m far from being superficial. His looks doesn’t define what’s inside. The fact that he bought me from my father is enough reason for me to conclude that he is a bad person. ”I’m here now. Why don’t you talk to me?” he raised a brow. I bit my tongue because of irritation. I’m so good at pretending to be strong and portraying indifference. So after his question, he chuckled because of my silence. ”I do not just fuck, Ms. Hampton. I also can talk.” he mocked me.
Fooling the CEO Sorry
He should have just told me that he needs house help or something! I was so damn mad after I did the dishes. I was even sulking when I went back to my room. It’s not the fact that I had to do the chores. I hate it because he seems to have the last cards in everything that I do. And I hate it. I hate it when he’s always the one to have the final say. It’s not supposed to be like this. I should be annoying the hell out of him until he gets tired of my attitude. But what’s happening is the other way round. I’m hella annoyed! This shouldn’t be like this. I need to think of ways from now on. Because if this set-up goes on, then I think I would really end up being his slave. Not mentioning what kind of slave though. I look at the clock. The evening is still not at its peak. I stood up and went outside the room wondering where his room was. I convinced myself not to be impudent. Even though
Fooling the CEO Plan of Seduction
I’ve been too weak my whole life. But being in this kind of circumstances is awakening. Being sold into someone for a lifetime is something I couldn’t forgive. It’s something that I couldn’t bear.I will not for sure settle for a life like this. So far of my stay here, he hasn’t shown me any sign of sexual desires. I’m surprised that he even gave me a separate room. But who knows? Maybe that man’s evilness is being kept in a deep hole that’s waiting to burst out any moment.As soon as he left, I came into the door and peered into it. I’m not shocked to see some uniformed bulk men in there. Just like what he told me. He will not bring me into his errands but he will tighten my security. That’s much better, rather than being with him.Even though I’m alone in his whole unit, I sneakily came into his room’s door hoping that it’s not locked. And gladly
Fooling the CEO Mall
He did come back that night. I acted as if I didn’t do anything unusual this morning. Like as if I didn’t sneak into his things without this permission. Like he said, we went out for dinner. I busied myself by watching the night city. Before, this was so far out of reach for me. I’m jailed inside our house and forbidden to go out. So looking at the view, I still can't help but to be amazed. ”What did you do in the unit?” I was a bit startled when he suddenly asked me. I gulped thinking that he knew what I did this morning. ”Did you get bored?” he added. I breathe in relief. I thought he’s talking about the little crime I committed. I smiled lightly and shook my head. I then remove my eye on him because I can’t bear to look him in the eye after what I did. I would never look at him the same way. I thought he’s just one of these rich businessmen but
Fooling the CEO Goodnight
”Yes. Ros. I’ll be needing that.” My lips are in a thin line.. For the whole trip back to his penthouse, my mind became busy. All I did was to listen to Elijah having calls every now and then. The next thing I knew, I woke up with Elijah’s calling. ”Emma,” he whispered.I opened my eyes and saw him standing and leaning at me at the open car’s door. His face is inches away from me. ”We’re home.” I blinked my eyes realizing that I had a nap on our way home. His fingers ran into my hair while still in the same position. My heart pounded a bit, and I don’t even know why. ”Hmm,” I shrugged and started to move. He helped me get out o
Fooling the CEO Dispose
Whatever that kiss may mean, it was nothing. I expected worse actually. Sure, he makes me a bit nervous every time he’s around but maybe that’s just because I’m intimidated and my reflexes as well because of past experiences. ”Are you going now?” I asked when he stood up after eating the breakfast that I prepared. He looked down on me and it seems like the amusement on his face will be forever embedded when he’s talking to me. ”Yes. I have an early meeting.” ”Uh, alright.” I pursed my lips. I stood as well and started to fix the plates. Deep inside, I am rejoicing. I’ve been waiting for him to leave. I busied myself in the kitchen and like usual, I felt his presence on my back, I didn’t react and just continued washing the plates. ”You don’t always have to wash the plates. I can make my house help do that.” My m

Fooling the CEO Epilogue
”I can’t believe we’re back here again.” she said with wandering eyes, gracefully seated on the passenger seat.My lips protruded. I played with my lips as I stopped myself from pulling up the car and making out with her. God. How can she manage to be so goddamn beautiful without even trying? Is she purposely doing it to bewitch me more? Cause no need. I’m hell obsessed with her and even if she does nothing, I’m still gonna be head over heels with her. Gladly, we arrived at Long Beach without any delays. I mean, the sense of control that I had to possess. Phew~ “God. It’s been a while. I feel like so much has happened. This brings back the old days.” she spoke when she got out of the car.I encircled my arms to her waist because I’ve been dying to put my hands on her. Nothing, I just want to claim what’s mine. I just want her all the time.
Fooling the CEO The people involved
”So you mean, you got back together without telling us?” Zoey asked me with her famous bitch face look. The three of us were left here after the ‘caught’ incident. Elijah greeted them and they were casual with each other. Well, Lulu is casual. Zoey’s a bit aloof and rugged in treating him. I gulped. Because I didn’t know the right answer. Half of it is true and half is not. ”See? You can’t answer.” she crossed her arms and rolled her eyes at me. Lulu is quick to butt in. “Let’s hear her first, Zoey.” ”What’s to hear if she had nothing to say?” I understand Zoey. I’m used to this kind of attitude of hers.“You’re right,” I started. I even heard Zoey say ‘See’ again. “I wasn’t able to tell you guys because things happened so fast. But no, we d-don’t ge
Fooling the CEO Caught in the act
Because of Elijah’s little games, I can’t help but to feel awkward around Ms. Madrigal all day. It’s not that I have something against her, it’s just that I’m shy as we all have this little pretending thing that went on these past two days. We hadn’t talked about it since, so when the time of the day went, I started to step forward and background, whether I talk to her or not. I’m having second thoughts. ”Yes, Ms. Madrigal. That’s all you have for tomorrow.” I said as I reviewed her schedule. She nodded. “Great. That’s good to hear.” I smiled. Usually, after she acknowledges my review of her schedules, I would bid my goodbye already. But since I have these things going on inside my head, I stood on her side looking like a fool. When she sensed that, she glanced at me. My cheeks immediately flushed because of that.I bowed my head, feeling her intent
Fooling the CEO Nightmares became Daydreams
“Ah!” I screamed. Panting, I looked at my surroundings and saw that I’m in a car. Right. We’re on our way to buy some groceries.”What’s wrong? Everything’s okay?” Elijah curiously asked. Although I’m not sure with myself, I still nodded and smiled raw.Wait. Nothing bad happened to me these past few days. Why do my nightmares suddenly come back? ”Had a bad dream?” he asked. I didn’t answer and just concentrated on adjusting myself. I felt him eyeing me even when his eyes should be on the road. ”Eyes on the road, Elijah.” I said with a warning tone. ”I am asking you.” he answered with his more intimidating warning tone as well. I sighed heavily. The persistent Elijah as always. ”I’m used to it. Don’t worry.” I said. ”You’re used to it?”
Fooling the CEO Will never take
Nothing happened. Elijah called a plumber who fixed the water pipes that night. He then went home late at night with his sulked face. We parted awkwardly and I overthought that whole night thinking I did something wrong. I didn’t do anything right? Not until he came inside the bathroom.“Ugh,” I groaned when I woke up. Sunday is supposed to be the day where I woke up with lots of sleep. But now, my head hurts because of thinking the whole night. Still can’t believe it. Am I just dreaming last night? No way.I checked my phone. No message from anybody. I went to the bathroom and looked at the new faucet. I sighed unconsciously. That is not a dream. I took a bath since it’s already late.I’m thinking of running some errands today, like doing grocery shopping because last night was just so embarrassing. For sure Elijah is not used to places like this. But I wasn’t able to think about
Fooling the CEO The broken faucet
“E-Ej, I think, we still have a lot to talk about.” He nodded while his eyes re focused on the road. He’s driving and we’re both on our way to my apartment. Like what he said, he’s gonna take me home. The events are like whirlwind. Everything was just so fast and I can’t cope up with how things are going. It’s like I’m dreaming and I’m loosing some parts of that dream.“We’ll talk tomorrow. For now, you need to rest. I don’t want you depriving your sleep.” he uttered seriously. My lips parted as I look at him. I look at him with so much adoration. I can’t help but to feel so amuse and overwhelmed with what he just said. For a year, nobody told me that. I almost forgot the feeling of having someone to take care of you, to look after you. I fell into this pit of limitations and barriers, thinking that I don’t deserve all that. But here he is.
Fooling the CEO Back
We stayed in that position for God knows how long. Him, holding my face while our forehead touched each other. My hands are on his chest and I’m just making the most out of the time. I feel at home. I feel like for the whole year I’ve deprived myself from the pain and aches, this is the only time I let myself down like this. At this moment, my pains are so sure; the reasons are clear, and I felt so free. In this world, there are these people that are home for you. Those people that are not just meant to stay for a short period of time but in the long term. And for that I think because those people are meant to give you lessons. You are meant to look for their purpose in your life. And I think his purpose is this. To make me feel safe, always. ”I-I… I don’t understand.” I said with a hoarse voice. ”You don’t have to. I just need your answer. Is one year enough? Or do I have to give you more?”
Fooling the CEO The closure we never thought we needed?
“I am not kidding, Elijah. I respect Ms. Madrigal as much as I respect your relationship. So please! Even if this doesn’t mean anything to you or you’re just trying to be casual to me, or whatever it is that’s inside your head, stop! Alright? “ I exclaimed. I just went all the way without actually thinking much of my words and just following what’s inside my mind.“How?” he asked.My brows shot up. “What?””How?” he asked again. “How can you say those words when your actions say otherwise?”I gulped and avoided his eyes. He knows.“You’re asking for me to go back but was that what you really wanted me to do?”I shut my eyes tight and shook my head. No, Emma. He’s just trying to get inside your head. You’re better than that. .“Elijah, please-”
Fooling the CEO Looking for you
That whole dinner is a pain in the ass. Who would stay sane when your ex is beside you while his recent girlfriend is on the other side. I was so doomed. He noticed that I’m gawking at his scent so much and that’s so embarrassing. What could he possibly think with those actions I gave him? He might think that I’m still crazy for him. I managed to hold myself until the second course of the menu. That conversation didn’t happen again, gladly. I tried to just focus on whatever it is that’s in front of me while I hear the small talks of the people around me. ”No, you’re allergic to that.” I heard Elijah.I pursed my lips. Even though my eyes are focused on the main dish that was served, my ears are fully indulged in the conversation of the two people on my right side. ”Oh, yeah. I forgot.” Ms. Madrigal laughed. I sniffed and used my fork to remove the vegetabl
