I'm The CEO's Bedmate [ENGLISH] 35
Nicole’s knees almost gave way when she returned to the office to collect her things. Sir Luis Montefalco had instructed her to go home for the day and rest, as after a week, she would no longer be working as the CEO’s EA, but would instead become an engineer.Her heart sank even further when she saw Alexander sitting in his swivel chair. His concerned look immediately turned to her, but instead of acknowledging him, she chose to turn her back and walk to her desk to gather her belongings.She could feel Alexander’s movements from where he sat, even the sound of his shoes approaching her.“Nicole—”“Uh, I’m just stopping by your house to grab a few things. I’ll leave right after,” she quickly said, cutting off whatever he was about to say.She knew Alexander wasn’t kicking her out, but she wasn’t stupid enough to stay, especially when she knew the truth. His girlfriend was pregnant, and he had recently promised her he would find a way for them to be together. Now, she learned from som

One week.It had been a week since she was removed from her position as Executive Assistant to CEO Shawn Alexander Montefalco.And for one whole week, Nicole had taken the opportunity to rest — away from judgmental eyes, and most of all, away from the man she had loved. The man she trusted, gave her all to… only to be hurt in the end. He made her believe he loved her too, when in truth, she was just a game to him.She had only managed to escape her problems for a week, and today marked the end of that break.It was Monday. Whether she liked it or not, it was time to return to work — not as Alexander’s assistant this time, but as an engineer.Nicole froze for a moment, unconsciously staring at her new company ID.“Engr. Natalia Nicolette Lorenzo”A bitter smile tugged at her lips as she read her full name.She was supposed to feel happy — after all, she was finally stepping into the career she had studied and worked so hard for. But the joy just wouldn’t come. Deep down, she knew why.

Nicole remained quiet as she and Domenic rode the elevator. The tremors in her body wouldn’t stop, and the silence between them was almost suffocating. It felt as though a lone cricket could chirp somewhere in the space between them.She fought to hold back the tears, knowing she couldn’t cry now—not after everything that had just happened. She had learned the painful truth: it was easier to forget someone when there were no updates, no news about them. Especially when that person was the one responsible for the heartache she was feeling.A heavy sigh escaped her lips, and she tried to calm herself, forcing the rising storm of emotions back down.“Are you okay?” Domenic’s voice broke the silence, filled with concern. But Nicole didn’t lift her head or meet his gaze. She kept her eyes on the floor, too ashamed to look at him.She gave a small nod, trying to assure him with a gesture, but the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat. She knew if she spoke, the tears would spill

It was already past 7 PM, and Nicole was still on her way home. She had forced herself to finish a few designs she needed for tomorrow so that she could get a head start on other tasks when she came in the next day.She was busy packing up her things, eager to head home, feeling like she might be the last person left in the office when a soft knock at her cubicle door grabbed her attention. For a moment, she panicked when she didn’t see anyone, only to let out a sharp sigh when a grinning, mischievous Domenic peeked through.“Burning the midnight oil, Natalia?”She forced a smile at him and shook her head.“Not really. Just finishing up something. I’m heading home now, you?”She asked with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes, quickly looking away when he locked eyes with her.“You know, you don’t have to smile in front of me. I’ll understand if you can’t smile like you used to.”His words hinted at something deeper, and Nicole's forced smile turned into a pout.“I said, don’t smi

Nicole was sprawled on the bamboo sofa in the small living room of her apartment. It was Sunday, and she had no plans other than to rest and relax. She had politely declined Domenic and her friend Leah's invitation to spend the afternoon at a resort.She realized it would be better for her to stay and let them enjoy themselves together. She knew, and saw, that Domenic and Leah liked each other. It didn't bother Nicole because, besides the fact that they were only pretending to date at the office, they didn't actually like each other."Well, who do you like, self? That annoying CEO Alexander again?"She muttered to herself, annoyed and feeling like a fool. She'd been avoiding the CEO for days because he'd been bothering, stalking, and pestering her. Almost every day, he sent things to their office, to the point where her colleagues and fellow engineers were also getting annoyed.Sometimes, he would even order her colleagues to deliver things to her, which she refused to accept. Things

"What is he doing here, Natalia?"Domenic’s voice was low, but there was clear frustration in it as he asked Nicole. She quietly lowered her head and couldn’t bring herself to respond.Why did it feel like she was caught lying to him, even though they both knew they didn’t have an actual relationship?Nicole was sitting on her couch while Domenic paced in front of her, clearly irritated and lecturing her."You know I was willing to help you get Shawn off your back, but how can we do that if you keep running to him every time he tries to get close to you?" he continued with his rant."He just came here to talk to me, Dom. I didn’t know he’d—""Yeah, but you still let him in! Then what, Nicole? You kiss, you make out, and suddenly everything’s okay again? Are you going to let that CEO fool you again?"He said it with such a scowl that it was almost like he was ready to shout at her.Nicole froze. She was silent for a moment, staring at Domenic. She understood why he was angry—he had cau

Nicole had been sitting at the dining table for several minutes, with the food Leah had taken out still neatly arranged on the table. Domenic and Leah had almost finished half of the food, while Nicole couldn’t seem to bring herself to eat, no matter how delicious the food on her plate looked. She kept poking at the fried chicken with her fork."Nicole, what’s going on? Why aren’t you eating?" Leah asked, clearly frustrated, watching her closely.Nicole sighed heavily and shook her head, then gently pushed her plate away."Do you have a problem?" Leah asked, her concern evident as her gaze shifted to the quiet Domenic."Hey, I left you two alone earlier. What did you do?" Leah said to Domenic, who simply pouted."Nothing. I didn’t do anything," he replied like a child, shaking his head repeatedly.Leah was about to speak again, but Nicole cut her off."Leah, nothing happened. I’m fine. I just don’t feel like eating," she said, forcing a smile."I’ll just step outside for a bit," she a

"Where are we?" Nicole asked irritably, her voice sharp as Alexander opened a door made of what looked like expensive wood.Alexander didn’t respond, his face still set in a frown as he pulled her inside. Nicole had thought it was just another room, but as soon as she saw the interior, she realized it was a house.She tried to stop herself from moving, refusing to be dragged into whatever place Alexander had brought her to. She was determined to know where the hell in the Philippines he had taken her this time.It seemed like Alexander finally understood what she wanted. He sighed loudly and finally let go of her hand, turning to face her.His serious gaze locked onto hers, and she met it head-on without backing down."You can walk in, Nicole, or I can carry you." His voice was low but had a clear edge of irritation.Nicole rolled her eyes in response."I’m not stepping into this damn place until you tell me where we are and why you brought me here." She shot him a glare, her voice bi

Nicole immediately smiled as she woke up, her eyes opening to the familiar, comforting face of Alexander right in front of her. The soft morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow on his features."Good morning, beautiful wife," he greeted her, his voice rich with affection, and his eyes gleaming with a mischievous sparkle. He gazed at her intently, like she was the most precious thing in the world."Good morning, naughty husband," she replied playfully, her voice full of teasing warmth. Without hesitation, she raised her arms and pulled him into a tight hug, relishing the closeness of his presence. He eagerly reciprocated, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her in even closer. But just as he leaned in to kiss her on the lips, Nicole quickly turned her face away, causing a pout to form on his lips.Alexander’s brows furrowed in slight confusion as he paused, staring at her in surprise. "What’s wrong?" he asked, his tone soft but curious.Nicole couldn’t hol

Standing just outside the grand, ornately carved doors of the church, Nicole could already hear the soft, melodic strains of the organ, filling the air with a sense of serenity and anticipation. Her heart skipped a beat as excitement surged within her—this was it. The moment she had dreamed about for so long. Today, she was about to marry the man she loved more than anything in the world—Shawn Alexander Montefalco, her CEO, her lover, the father of their precious daughter, Alexandrea.Nicole’s fingers tightened slightly around the bouquet she held, the delicate white roses a symbol of the new chapter she was about to begin. But just as she was starting to bask in the moment, she felt her grandmother’s hand settle gently on her arm, a comforting weight.“I know I’ve said this countless times already, dear, but congratulations again. I’m so happy for you,” her grandmother said, her voice thick with emotion. She squeezed Nicole’s hand warmly and placed a soft kiss on her forehead, adjust

"You look beautiful, Nicole," Leah praised her, smiling as the flamboyant makeup artist who had been taking care of everything finished her up.Today was her wedding day with Alexander, and Nicole felt that no word could truly capture the joy and excitement she felt at that moment.Nicole smiled at her friend and thanked her."Thank you so much, Leah. And thank you for agreeing to be my maid of honor," she said, extending her arms for a tight hug."Ah, don’t mention it. Who else would you choose as your maid of honor? I’m the only one who’s your best friend and ridiculously beautiful," Leah joked, making them both laugh.They paused when Leah suddenly stared at her intensely.Before Nicole could even ask why, Leah spoke first."I just... can’t believe you’re actually getting married," Leah said, her voice softening with emotion. "I’m so happy for you, Nicole. So, so happy for you."She smiled sweetly at Nicole, wiping away a tear.Nicole playfully rolled her eyes and hugged her again.

Nicole couldn't help but smile sweetly as she gazed at her newborn baby. She felt like she could spend the entire afternoon just staring at her peacefully sleeping child."Hey, you should rest too..."Nicole immediately turned toward the sound of the door opening, and she smiled even wider when she saw Alexander standing there."I know, I just can't help but stare at her. She's so beautiful, Alex. My baby is so beautiful."She said happily, and Alexander smiled back as he carefully walked toward her, making sure not to make any noise that might wake the baby."Our daughter, and yes, I agree. She's gorgeous. I mean, what do you expect? Her dad—and your soon-to-be husband—is pretty handsome too."He said with a playful tone, which made Nicole roll her eyes."You're not handsome, and who said I was going to marry you?"She teased, causing Alexander to pout."You said so when you were in labor. You said you’d marry me."He replied, sounding so sure of himself, making Nicole smile again as

After a few moments of silence, Nicole couldn’t speak because she hadn’t expected Alexander to say that to her. He asked her to marry him…What was she supposed to say? As far as she knew, he was already married and had his own family."Say something, baby…"Alexander said gently, but just like before, Nicole remained silent, her eyes wide in shock, staring intently at him.“Look, I know our relationship before didn’t turn out well. I know you're really angry at me because of what I did, but believe me, baby, everything happens for a reason. I only did what I did to protect you.”He spoke softly, and Nicole wasn’t sure whether to believe him. She wanted to understand everything, but part of her didn’t want to hear these things.“Marry me, Nicole.”He said again, and she squeezed her eyes shut, then slowly opened them to meet his serious gaze.“W-why?”Finally, she asked. She knew it wasn’t the perfect response, but she genuinely wanted to know why Alexander wanted to marry her. She di

Two hours had passed since Leah and Nicole returned from the mall, but Nicole couldn't shake the nervousness from their brief conversation with Alexander. She hadn’t expected to run into him there, and certainly hadn't anticipated him finding out about her pregnancy.Since she never prepared for such a situation, she didn't know what to say if they were to meet and he discovered her condition. And now, the thing she never expected had happened. Instead of distancing Alexander from the thought that he might be the father of her baby, Nicole felt like she had only drawn him closer to that belief with her careless responses earlier.Who could think clearly in a situation like that?Thankfully, Leah didn't say anything else or ask questions. She stayed quiet while driving, while Nicole couldn’t calm herself. She didn’t even know why she was still upset about Alexander.But when she recalled how her former CEO insisted on knowing about her pregnancy earlier, Nicole couldn’t help but think

Seven months.It had been seven months, and Nicole’s baby bump was already showing quite a bit. Until now, no one from her previous workplace knew she was pregnant—and that was exactly how she wanted it. She had asked everyone to keep it a secret.Her relatives had agreed, especially after learning that the father of her child was the CEO of the company they were partnering with.Nicole didn’t want Alexander to find out about the baby. Her family understood that completely.No one questioned her decision either. To her, it was enough to know that Alexander had already started a family of his own. She kept trying to convince herself that she didn’t need him—and neither would their child.“Hey, ready?”The voice of her friend Leah pulled her out of her thoughts. Nicole gave her a quick nod and took one last glance at her reflection in the full-length mirror.She smiled softly, her hand gently resting on her rounded belly.The white maternity dress she wore fell just above her knees, and

Nicole’s hands were trembling with nerves. She couldn’t even bring herself to touch the food on her plate as she quietly observed her surroundings, listening in silence to the conversation at the breakfast table, led by her grandparents.They were all gathered in the dining room, enjoying breakfast together. There was laughter and teasing all around, but Nicole couldn’t bring herself to join in. And she knew exactly why.She had spent the entire night thinking about how she was finally going to tell them she was pregnant. No matter how they reacted or what the consequences would be, she had already prepared her heart to accept it all.She was also sure that her cousin, Domenic, already suspected something. He kept sneaking glances at her across the table, which she responded to with sharp glares—glares she knew he didn’t appreciate.“Natalia, sweetheart, I’m glad to see you’re feeling better,” her grandmother said gently, pulling Nicole’s attention back. The warm smile on her grandmot

The moment Nicole stepped into the clinic, her knees nearly gave out. She felt like the walls were closing in on her, anxiety gnawing at her every thought as she waited for the results of the test.She felt like someone terminally ill, anticipating the doctor’s verdict on how many days, months, or years she had left. What made it worse was the strong gut feeling that the pregnancy test would come back positive. Her hands trembled with nervous energy.She sat quietly in the waiting area, beside her cousin who looked like she wanted to slap some sense into her. Nicole couldn’t really blame her—Domenic had seen it all. He knew what Alexander had put her through, and he was the one who convinced her to cut ties with the CEO she once worked for. Now here they were, possibly about to confirm that she was carrying his child.Her heart skipped a beat when she noticed Domenic looking at her. She quickly looked away and tried to focus on something else—anything else. Her eyes landed on a poster
