Is this love, Mr CEO? No right words
NAVY’S POVI tossed on my bed from left to right, overwhelmed by guilt, drowning in the regret of my own words.My brain was so active, it would not stop replaying the scenario from last night. I didn’t forget one word from my argument.Calling her ugly was top of the list.“How?! How is she ugly, Navy?!” I asked myself, displeased and disgusted by my own words.I was beclouded by her low sobs and I wanted by all means to forget them, or at least forgive myself.“Aaaargh!” I screamed in frustration.Finn slammed the door open, barging into my room, armed with two vintage books in hand.“What is it? Did you find a roach?! What is it?” “Get out!” I groaned.“Get out of my room, right now. Go home to your parents. I don’t want to see anyone.”Finn exhaled in relief and slumped on my couch, ignoring my rants.“I won’t go anywhere, Sir” he said, after settling down.“And stop drinking, please. If you’re bothered about something, it is better to confront it, face it head-
Last Updated : 2023-12-01Is this love, Mr CEO? What’s worse than a coincidence?
NAVY’s POVMy phone rang tirelessly from the distance I had tossed it to. I had no intentions of speaking to anyone, hence I remained unmoved, but the caller wouldn’t stop. Irritated by such persistence, I reluctantly stretched out to it and fetched my phone.I sat up immediately, seeing the caller ID displayed on my screen.“Papà?” I answered, as I placed the phone to my ear.“Oh, Navidad!” Papa exclaimed, “I’m so sorry to bother you on a weekend, but I need you to go meet someone on my behalf.”“No, no, no Papà!” I groaned.“Why not, Navy? It’s important, I…” “Listen up!” A cold, stern voice replaced my father’s friendly, apologetic voice.“Hello mother” I grumbled.“Navy, your father can not afford to lose face with the US Embassy. The meeting was suddenly scheduled in Washington and he can not make it on time even if he started coming now.” My stepmother said.“They’re sending a representative, so it’s equally safe for us to send you.”“We’ll send you an addre

Rosé’s POV“Another girl, another victim” I thought to myself, watching him settle down with the gorgeous blond girl.Anger coursed through me as I watched her giggling so heartily. I wished I could storm over to that table and tell her to run for her life.“Quite the charmer” I muttered to myself.It was the same for me too- on the flight to Italy, but the story was quite different when we returned.Images of him extending his hand to me flashed across my memory, “I should’ve slapped away his hands when he asked us to become friends!” I bubbled in anger.“Is it just anger?” Darcy’s voice sieved into my ears distantly.“Huh?” I exclaimed, suddenly realizing that I had been glaring at them the whole time.“Are you angry?” Darcy repeated. I shrugged indifferently, “not really.” I replied, “he can do whatever he wants…” Darcy smirked and took a sip from the big wine glass before him.“I hope it is just anger…” he said.“What else could there be?” I retorted, puzzled by his

NAVY’s POV The guard held the door open for Cecilia and I and we stepped out to the exit. My eyes immediately caught a couple at the parking lot with lips glued together- they were kissing.“That’s Darcy!” Cecilia squealed, pointing at them with one hand and giggling excitedly.What seemed like a cute moment to her and probably everyone around was more of a heart wrenching scene to me.I held my breath for a moment, just to settle my bubbling anger underneath.Yet the harder I tried, the harder it was. I was too angry to control myself.“Are you okay?” Cecilia asked with a smug on her face. I nodded indifferently, “Yes, why?”“It seems like there is something between you two?” Cecilia said, looking at me like she knew something I didn’t, and that smug on her face agitated me even more and I looked away.“You… Navy, you are not really good at hiding your feelings” she said.I clenched my teeth in annoyance, refusing to look at her, I was filled with distaste.“We

ROSÉ POVI watched the expression on Navy’s face transition from disbelief to anger, he took one step closer, towering over me with an intimidating stance.“Did you… did you just snap at me?!” He bellowed, glaring at me with a tight lipped smile on his face.“You can’t handle insults but you’re not afraid to dish it out on people, isn’t it?” I returned.“I will not tolerate any…”“Disrespect?!”,“You disrespect me all the time!”, “you don’t see me making a deal of it”.“You, vermin!” Navy said between gritted teeth.Why this man hated me so much, I still don’t know but Darcy and Cecilia returned just when I needed them.I couldn't stand another second with Navy.He was becoming more unbearable by the minute.Darcy wrapped his arms around me and kissed me on the forehead, "Did something happen while I was gone?" He asked. "Not at all..." I replied, basking in the warmth of the man who gave me no heartaches at all."Let's go home then" Cecilia said.I glanced at Navy and he had rage w

ROSE’s POVI sat up immediately, struck by the whispering voice at the other end of the phone.“How have you been?” She asked.“Is it really you, maman?” I asked, frozen on my bed, trying to recognize a voice long lost in my memory. “Yes, my child. It is I” the lady replied.“Thank you…” she added quickly,“For what?” I thought.“…for clearing my debt. There were so much, I didn’t think I could ever be free from hiding…” she continued.“What?!” I exclaimed, a surge of anger built up in my chest.“Did you really abandon me for years, because you were hiding from debtors?” “And if I may ask, what exactly did you do with that much money?!” I asked, my voice a little higher than I wanted.“I can’t say…” maman replied.“No, I want you to say. You disappeared for so many years. I thought you were dead, maman!” I paused, holding my breath to stop the outburst of anger that was brewing within.“Have you always had my number, maman?”A brief silence passed, my heart was pounding crazily, wi

“I’d rather not…”“Whatever it is can wait till tomorrow…” I replied agitatedly.The call went silent briefly, like she was waiting for me to change my mind, or maybe I was the one waiting for her to insist on seeing me. Unfortunately, she said, “okay sir. I’m sorry I disturbed.”“Yes, you did!” I retorted.“I’m sorry, I’ll hang up now.” She replied.I removed the phone from my ear and waited for the call to go dead, staring at the screen curiously. “Wait!” I blurted out.“Yes sir?” Rosé replied, and I swear, I could hear a tiny hint of hope in her voice, but I didn’t care.“This should be the last time you call me if it is not related to work. No common employee has the permission to call me outside work.” “I… I apologize sir, it will never happen again” she stuttered,Even though I was yearning to talk to her, to see her, I couldn’t go looking miserable and drunk? How could I let her see me like this?I hung up the call and buried myself under the duvet. ______~~~______“How was

ROSÉ’s POVLinda couldn’t drive me to work today, she had to go in the opposite direction. I alighted from a cab a few blocks from Varde, since commercial vehicles are not permitted at the gate (definitely sounds like him).I took a few steps towards the gate and Darcy appeared before me, with a cup of coffee in hand.“Hey!” “Where did you come from?” I asked, looking around suspiciously. My eyes fell on a thread color Chesterfield coat burrowing its way into a black Range Rover beside it, and even though I didn’t see his face, from my racing heartbeat, it must have been Nav.Darcy pushed his door open, pulling me in with him. We barged into the office, and I realized I was right, it was indeed Darcy at the pedestrian lane behind me.“D… Darcy and I had some things to discuss with you” I stuttered awkwardly, in a failed attempt to explain why we were in his office. My heart racing uncontrollably at the uncomfortable sight of his lips glued to a blonde woman, backing us with curves so

Is this love, Mr CEO? Cheat sheet
It was a cheat sheet, or something like that. But the evening was set. A house wedding, one I had never seen. Mother would turn wherever she was if I ever attempted something like this. Alexander called it a parlor wedding. It was happening right in my living room. We redesignedput my minimalist style living room aesthetic to good use, the chandeliers above creating a dimly lit room as dawn set in.Guests trickled in, their murmurs mingling with our choice of music.Alexander stood by the makeshift altar, being the head of two long feast tables, placed at the center. I stood behind him taking in the sight of everything we had done together.The scent of fresh flowers filled the air, the vibrant colors of the floral arrangements contrasting beautifully with the muted tones of the room.Soft candlelight danced on the two-tier cake, sitting at the center of the table.Alexander was particular when he said there were twenty people coming. As his parents arrive right on time, I couldn

Rosé’s POVI left Amelia straddled to his forefront, with a direction of how the rest of the day would go for her. Navy asked a million questions, yet before we left, Alexander asked the same questions all over again.“Is there anything that comes as an instinct to men?” Paula asked, shaking her head in disbelief.Finn stepped into the driver’s seat with my sister right beside him in the passenger’s seat. Paula instantly exclaimed, “I’m getting married tonight, please let’s focus on the road.”A soft chuckle escaped my lips as I glanced at Finn, “she’s burning you,” I teased, Finn nodded agreeably, “I am searching for a good comeback…”Paula broke into a soft laughter, flailing her arms in the air. “What are we buying first?” “A wedding dress first, before the bridesmaids dresses. We haven’t even decided on the color. We’re wasting time!” Grace exclaimed, strangely motivating us in the right way.“Pink,” Paula replied, her voice cracking with emotions, suddenly she broke down in
Is this love, Mr CEO? Gone man
Chapter 146Rose's POVAs we all know, every story ends. Sometimes a new story begins where the old ended, other times, it is really the end. Grace's life was about to turn to the next chapter. I could already see the fire in her eyes, she could accomplish anything. I wasn't interested in fighting for her before, but seeing her want things like every normal girl her age felt fulfilling, striving to have a purpose told me we were alike in more ways than just blood. "Maybe having you as my legal guardian won't be so bad," Grace's voice boomed into my thoughts, her excitement evident in her bubbly tone."I was worried about us, about the kind of relationship I would have with you." She continued in a tone calmer than the first.I glanced at her with an eyebrow raised. "She told you about me?"Grace nodded, her gaze softening as she glanced at me. "There are only two people mamañ talks about you, and her mother.""She was always complaining about you." Her voice shivered faintly as she
Is this love, Mr CEO? See you in Paris
Navy’s POVLove only took a moment, and I was witnessing that moment right before me.Finn had no notice of the heart that was not beating for him, fascinated by his mere presence.My gaze flickered from Rosé to Finn, before returning to Grace. It was only then I noticed her striking semblance to her sister. Her gaze captured the depth of her desires, her long wavy hair began to bounce as she jumped in surprise, startled by an incident we were yet to see.The server had over poured the coffee, spilling the hot drink on her dress.Finally the incident that would bring them together had finally presented itself. Just the interview was his opportunity to retain Rosé.“I apologize for that…,” Finn paused, swiping his gaze on the features of the inconvenient customer to be certain of the status. From the look on his eyes, it was obvious that he was stricken by her. In that moment, I wondered what could have drawn him to her, I wanted to know if it was her beauty or her smile.I couldn’t
Is this love, Mr CEO? Crybabies
Chapter 144Navy’s POVThe sister’s fight had ended the moment Grace face was flooded with tears. Rosé fragile as usual gave in to her emotions too, joining her in tears. The morning sun was yet to show his face, yet the sniffles from her mother and aunty must have woken my daughter, her presence now contributing to the chorus of tears in the room.I fell into a state of chaos, torn between racing to my daughter or my wife, not knowing who to console first.Amelia got louder, hurling me towards her direction.“I’m sorry,” Grace’s soft voice echoed in the room, “please, let me rely on you… as a sister. I have no one else.”Cradling my daughter on chest, I turned to face them. Rosé was quivering slightly, her face flushed with a mix of tears and relief. “Hmmm,” I exhaled softly, looking between mother and daughter.“Such crybabies.” I remarked, stirring a blush on Rosé’s face.“I think she is hungry…” Grace croaked, her voice barely above a whisper.I nodded, “I think so too… and I f

Chapter 143Navy’s POVI blinked my eyes open, perturbed by the noise in the house. It was barely a minute since I closed my eyes, my eyes were heavy from the the lack of sleep.The first image that came into my view, was an image of Rosé packing a luggage, and instantly, my heart plummeted at the sight of it, thudding against my chest.“Baby, what’s going on?” I asked, the drowsiness in my eyes was completely gone as I jolted to my feet, making my way to Rosé.“Please, tell me, what’s wrong? Please…” Rosé turned to me, her eyes blaring with something I had never seen before.“Let’s go to Paris… let’s go today, now, let’s just go!”“Why?” I asked, “I’ll do whatever you want me to do but I need to understand why first.” “Mamañ, she’s gone…” Rosé replied, her voice quivering as she spoke, “She left Grace here and disappeared, just like me… she’s abandoned her. You think she’s still going to change? You think we still have a chance to her support? That woman deserves to burn in hell!”
Is this love, Mr CEO? For your sins
Chapter 142ROSE POV Navy sat on the armchair in my spacious room, observing me as I paced agitatedly around, seething with anger at mamañ.“I can’t believe her!” I breathed, “The message Andre sent to us is a clear threat, yet she perceives it as him seeking her. What’d I tell you? She would choose Andre over anyone at any time.”“Elodie,” Navy’s soothing voice interjected, imbued with longing. As our eyes met, I could not help but notice the desire in his gaze. His gaze steadied on me, the intensity of it sending shivers down my spine. Despite my anger at mamañ, in that moment, all I could focus on was the sudden pull between us. His presence filled the room, wafting around me like a curl of smoke.“Rosé,” Navy murmured, his voice barely above a whisper, but it echoed loudly in the silence between us.“Uh,” he cleared his throat, “She is just in love… could you look at it from that perspective?“A wave of disappointment struck me as the desire in his eyes faded while he spoke.I
Is this love, Mr CEO? Andre is alive?
ROSÉ’s POVA soft exhaled escaped me, as my eyes crinkled with tears, a lump formed in my throat as I struggled to speak.“What… what do you mean, Maa?” Grace spoke out finally, breaking the silence.The answer to that question I already knew. Mamañ had acted as expected.“Henry Benoit,” she sighed sadly, “I’ve wronged him in so many ways. Andre tried to kill him once, or twice…” Our eyes met briefly moment, and I could tell from her expression that it was more than that. “Only the truth mamañ.”Mamañ bowed her head in regret, memories flooding back.“Rosé, Andre tried to harm him so many times that Benoit got a restraining order against him.”“But he didn’t stop, did he?”Mamañ shook her head sadly, her tears welling up.“He didn’t, he tried every means possible.”“Why didn’t he just arrest him?” Navy’s voice boomed into the air, shifting our attention to his tall figure emerging from the hallway.“I put her back to bed,” he explained, planting a peck on my cheek as he joined the
Is this love, Mr CEO? Feisty Grace
As I stayed in his arms, breathing in his faint fragrance and warmth until a soft coo of a baby interrupted the silence.“It’s Amelia!” Navy gasped, excitement bubbling in his voice.“Wait, you called her Amelia?” I exclaimed, surprised. “Well, I figured she could have two names.”A soft chuckle escaped my lips as I stepped out of his arms. “I’d love that…”Navy nodded, cupping my face in his hands. “I’ll take care of her, you go to the dining.”Taking a deep breath, I made my way back to the dining room, where mamañ and Grace were still seated, their conversation paused as I stepped in. Grace’s appearance was nothing like mamañ’s, and the more I studied her features, I was more convinced that she wasn’t Andre’s daughter.“Mamañ, Grace,” I began, my voice steady, despite the turmoil within, “let’s talk,”Mamañ raised her gaze to me, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.“Where have you been?” I asked, my voice demanding nothing but the truth.“Here and there…” Mamañ replied, dartin
