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.Related chapters
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

”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
Fooling the CEO Paparazzi
Blinding lights welcomed me the moment I opened my eyes. The feeling of dizziness is gone now. I can say I’m feeling much better than a while ago. Then it’s the only moment it sunk in to me. I fainted, I blacked out in the parking lot. I scanned my surroundings and saw a man standing beside my bed. My Elijah. I smiled in relief of seeing him. Both of his arms are crossed in his chest while he stands there. He’s still wearing his corporate attire, so I’m guessing he came straight from work. He didn’t say any words when he saw me, he didn’t smile back as well. ”What happened?” I asked. ”You blacked out. Sibal took you here. He called me.” he said with a deep flat tone. I don’t know why I felt the unexplainable nervousness hearing his tone. ”How long have I been sleeping?” ”Whole afternoon.” he uttered. I
Fooling the CEO The only way he knew
I was in my oversized sweater while I waited for him to come home. I am restless. I can’t count how many times I practiced what I’m gonna say to him. I didn’t know what to say to be honest. I couldn’t decide on things. I just cried and blamed myself all throughout. That’s why when the lift opened and his figure showed up, I was tongue tied. ”Elijah,” I uttered his name. His dark and tired eyes fixed into me. I stood up to meet him so I could start to explain, but really, no words would come out of me. When I was a meter away from him, I smelled the strong scent of liquor. I knew immediately that he’d been drinking. I reached for his face. “Elijah-” ”Stay. Away.” he warned. I gasped. Tears clouded my eyes without my own consent. I am hurt but I understand. I pressed my lips and nodded, stepped back a few steps before I opened my mouth to explain. ”I-I… I can explain Elijah. T-that…That’s not true.” ”And what is the truth? Are yo
Fooling the CEO I'll be the one
I am restless. I stayed for hours sitting on the floor where he left me, before I came into my room just to cry again. I badly wanted to come into his room but that’s not the best decision to do. He probably doesn’t want to see me after saying all those words. All I felt was shame. This relationship is a daydream and a nightmare at the same time. Funny how this relationship turned out like this and I am accountable. Even if I wanted to explain things, doing that will do no good. It will just prolong the pain because the end of the tunnel is still the end of the road. He’s right. He did nothing but to love me and save me from all the agony of my life. He let himself get involved in my life for the sake of my mother’s wish, when in fact my mother is also one of the reasons why his family is dead. My father is his parent’s murderer, while the child is the one who broke him in the end. That kiss may be unintentional, and even if I explain to him what happened aft
Fooling the CEO The Letter (His POV)
To the man who loved me, I’ve been wanting to do this since the very beginning, but never did I have the courage to do this. I wish I could say this all in your face, but I think doing that will just cut us more.I can still remember the first time I saw you. It’s a cold night, my cold birthday night. I’m celebrating my freedom inside my head on the day of my legal age and yet I saw you. You are wearing this dark suit and tie, the first three buttons are unbuttoned. Your dark brown eyes that change color straight looking at me, sitting on our dirty couch, you look so intimidating.Who would have thought that that man would be my knight in shining armor? The prince who’s riding his expensive wheels, is a pain in the ass for me. You ruined everything. That’s how I saw it. I tried to fool you, surrendered myself to you and lure you with my selfishness, just to end up being fooled by
Fooling the CEO Forgive
Emma’s POVThere are different kinds of love in this world, but how come there’s only one pain?”Wow! What a miracle to see my evil daughter here,” my father’s first words when he got the telephone that connects from the other line.I look at him plainly. Without any emotion, I stared at him with no sense of empathy.”I am not like you,” I uttered. He laughed and his piano-like teeth showed up.”It’s been what? A year since I came here? This is the first time you visited me. Why? Are you yearning for your lover and now you're gonna blame me? He should be thankful that I didn’t get to come near him.” he said. My lids trembled in milliseconds, having a hard time to hide that I’m affected.”You should be the one who’s thankful. After all what you did to his family, putting you behind bars is not enough.” I told him. His eyes went da
