“Come on in,” I heard Lauren’s calm voice call out to me through the door. I entered the room, closing the door carefully behind me. Lauren immediately gestured for me to take the seat opposite her. I nodded and did as I was beckoned while offering her a professional smile. “Hi Karina. I hope I haven’t been keeping you too busy these days,” Lauren greeted me with a smile.“It’s always a pleasure working on all the projects that you’ve assigned to me,” I replied honestly. Lauren was a good supervisor and she cared deeply about the development of the people in her team. “I see. Well, this might seem a little sudden but…as of today, we have decided to transfer you to the CEO’s office,” Lauren stated in with a bright smile. “Sorry? I mean, excuse me?” I replied in shock, unable to hide my confusion. The CEO’s office was a team that comprises of selected individuals from various departments that would work directly with the CEO. Naturally, only the top talent from each department is s
“Take a seat,” he commanded, as he gestured with his eyes to the seat located opposite side of his work desk where he was seated. I walked on shaky legs before I hesitantly took the seat as Ace had indicated. Ace was silent again, and I held my breath as I waited patiently for him to say what he had to say. For some reason, I knew that it wasn’t good news. “I won’t beat around the bush,” he said as his eyes narrowed slightly at me. He felt like a wolf ready to prance on its prey. That prey, unfortunately, was me. The fact that he paused for effect only made me more curious about what he had to say to me. After a few seconds of silence, he continued. “I want you to be my personal secretary,” he stated emotionlessly. My mouth hung open as my eyes widened in shock. Did I hear him correctly just now? I heard his words, but I couldn’t understand them. Did he just ask me to be his secretary? I didn’t know how to respond, and I couldn’t wipe the look of pure shock from my face either. H
“That is exactly why I want you to become my secretary. You’ll get to work on more challenging projects, and you’ll work alongside me. My team and I handle all the first tiers and the most challenging projects in this company. If you work as my secretary, I’ll put you on all those projects so that you can learn. You can flourish while you watch and learn with the best of the best. There are many things that I want to teach you, Karina,” he said it all like a promise. Once again, the passion and determination behind his words touched me. I cursed myself silently when my heart skipped a beat when he called me by my name. Just like the many speeches that I’ve heard him deliver, I was captivated by his words and the earnest emotions behind them. There are many things that he wanted to teach me. It wasn’t like I didn’t find his suggestion tempting. I knew that it was a rare opportunity to work alongside someone as superior as he was. However, I still had my doubts, and I was very scared
My head felt light, and it felt like I was ready to faint right there at that moment. I told myself over and over again that Kyle broke up with me for his own personal reason. That was the lie that I had been telling myself so that I could get through the pain of our breakup. My heart was still far from healed and I couldn’t say for certain that I was completely over him. Afterall, it had only been a few days since we broke up, how was I supposed to erase all memories of the two years that we shared together?Even thought, Kyle never got around to telling me the real reason why he decided to end our relationship, I never expected that it would be because he was going to get married to someone else. I mean, people don’t break up with their girlfriend to get another girlfriend and then marry her within a week’s time, right? That only left one possibility and it was the one that I dreaded the most: All this time that we were together, Kyle had been cheating on me with another woman. Jud
I heard him, but I couldn’t bring myself to answer. Before I knew it, my lips were quivering uncontrollably and then warm, wet tears spilled over my eyes and rolled down both my cheeks. I have never felt like this before, and I didn’t even realize that I had started crying until the tears streamed down my face. At first, I thought I was simply sad and upset; however, those emotions didn’t adequately explain what I was feeling. The heart burning sensation inside my chest resembled more of anger and the tight knot in my stomach felt like a grudge that would never fade. I felt like I was ready to explode from the inside out. I felt Ace’s eyes on me as he looked at me curiously. I watched as he cocked his head slightly to one side in wonder. I must have looked like such a mess. It was my first day working for him and here I am, standing right in front of him in tears. Thankfully, he didn’t ask me what was wrong because I didn’t know what I would have told him if he did. Slowly, he appro
“I’m very sorry about this. This will never happen again…I promise…” I apologized desperately. Not only did I break the rule of dating another colleague, but the CEO caught me and now I was an emotional mess right in front of him. How did the career that I tried so hard to build lead me here? Ace looked at me with passive eyes as if my apology did not reach him at all. His hazel brown eyes were cold, and he looked unimpressed and unmoved by my apology. He probably didn’t believe a single word that I had just said, and I couldn’t find it in me to blame him either. I never thought that I would have to ever ask something like this, but it was better to get this over and done with directly…“Sorry but…am I going to be fired?” I asked directly while I dreaded his answer. Unlike my apology from earlier, my question got his attention immediately and Ace’s eyes widened at me. He was probably shocked at the directness of my question. His brown eyes stared at me, and it took a lot of courag
No…he’s…too close…His arm around my shoulder tightened around me as he pulled my body against his. My eyes widened in shock when I felt the warmth of his breath against my cheek. I didn’t even dare turn my face around to face him, knowing full well how close he was to me right now. “You see…I’ve broken that golden rule before too…” he whispered directly into my ear.His lips were so close to my ear that I could almost feel them brushing against my ear lobe. My body froze, I was completely stunned at his words.Ace broke that rule too?!I scooted away from him, and his arm willingly let me go. After putting enough space between us on the sofa, I turned to face him with my eyes still widened in shock. The way he said those words did not at all imply that he was engaged or is currently engaged in a proper relationship with simply one employee. Just how many girls has he been fooling around with in this company since he took over as CEO…or even before that?“I thought letting you know m
“Well…you just asked me to be your girlfriend…” I replied, still completely confused. I bet my life that he isn’t being serious with any of this. He’s just playing me and I’m letting him play me…like a fool once again…“Shouldn’t you be jumping up and down with joy?” Ace asked as if he truly expected me to do exactly that. “Umm…no?” I replied as I glared back at him. “You’re a funny girl,” he comments while I already lost count how many times he’s told me that today. “What?” I said, still in disbelief. “Were you late to work yesterday morning?” he asked sternly. I cocked my head to the side in wonder. Why is he asking me that? Is he trying to get me into trouble…doesn’t seem likely…“No…I was on time…” I replied while wondering why he was asking me this now. “I see. So, you managed to make it on time. I had my doubts, seeing that you were sleeping very soundly…” Ace said as he seemed to recall something from his memories. Wait!He saw me sleeping. What does that mean? How is t
Almost immediately after Aiden was born, we were urged to move back to the city where Aiden could be raised in Ace’s family estate with an army of servants at his service. Naturally, I was against the idea right from the start. Surprisingly, Ace was even more against the idea and made sure that we were not disturbed as we continued to raise our young baby in the comfort of our own home. My mother moved into the house with us to help take care of baby Aiden. Ace fell in love with being a father and couldn’t wait to expand our family even further. Just when Aiden turned one year old, we began another baby-making project which resulted in another pregnancy not so long after. Roughly nine months later, Aiden became a big brother to baby Katie. Having two children to take care of increased our fun exponentially. By that time, we had our hands really full with the children and struggled to keep up with work at the office. “Maybe I should stop working to take care of the children…” I mumbl
“With pleasure,” I replied with a smile. Everything he did and said to me turned me on so badly. I wanted him so much that I thought that I might go crazy if I had to wait any longer to have him. My hands shook a little as I rushed to unbuckle his belt and unzip his pants. I sucked in a breath as I stared at the thick and throbbing monster that sprang into my hands. His cock was already gigantic and extremely erect. The virile look of his tool made my insides quiver just thinking of all the things that it could do to me once it entered me. “Put it inside you, Rina…” Ace urged in a seductive drawl that made my pussy quiver in anticipation. I knew that he was teasing me, but I found it so temptingly sexy at the same time. His cock throbbed in my hand, and I could feel it getting thicker and hotter. I stroked it up and down teasingly as I observed the look of desire that crept into Ace’s hazel eyes.“Let me help you spread your legs…” Ace offered as he grabbed my thighs and lifted the
The fact that we worked together and lived together gave rise to ample opportunities for us to get it on. At the rate that we were going, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out one day that I had successfully conceived. “Everyone headed home already. Should we call it a day and head home too?” I asked as I approached Ace in his personal office. Work has been quite busy as of late because many projects were due at pretty much the same time. Everyone in the office has been busy and hiring more people to take on the work also meant that there were more people for us to supervise. Time seemed to fly by each time and before I knew it, the sun had set outside, and it was getting dark. Working extra hours slowly became the norm again, although the work was still much more motivating and interesting than ever before. “Are you tired?” Ace asked with a worried look on his face.“Not really. I just don’t think you should work too late,” I replied honestly. “I guess I should stop working now the
“You’re not that old, dad. Surely, you can wait a few years,” Ace said defensively. “It doesn’t matter whether or not I’m old. She’s your wife and this is part of what she needs to do,” he said as he stared directly at me. “Stop pressuring her. Stress makes it harder for women to conceive. Don’t you know that?” Ace asked jokingly, although it was quite true. “Stop taking her side on this one,” his father warned. “She’s my wife, so of course, I’ll take her side. I know that you want to become a grandfather so badly, but you have to be patient. Don’t worry, we won’t disappoint you. We’ll have loads of children,” Ace said while sounding quite happy.I wasn’t sure how to handle the situation, so I was thankful that Ace was covering for me. There was no way that I would bend to the pressure and agree to having a baby right away. The few years that I stated felt like the right timeframe for me and if Ace didn’t have an issue with it, then it felt like enough for me. I have to say that I
I could sense that more trouble was coming our way and that I wasn’t going to quite like what he had to say. “Why do you think your father wants to see us?” I asked in a shaky voice. “You don’t need to be so scared of him,” Ace replied teasingly. “I don’t know…it just feels like there’s something that he wants from us…” I murmured before letting out a soft sigh. “Don’t overly worry yourself over nothing, Rina. We’re married now so I hope that you’ll get used to my dad even if I have to say that he’s not the easiest person to deal with,” Ace said before showing me a smile that I felt was comforting. “He suddenly requested to see us, and we just got back,” I said while still sounding very worried. “Maybe he has good news for us,” Ace said brightly. I highly doubted it, but I didn’t want to voice my thoughts out loud. There was a possibility that Ace might be right but that probably was probably very slim. The main estate for Ace’s family felt as intimidating as ever when we arriv
My body was hungry for even more pleasure, and I couldn’t wait to feel something even hotter and thicker stretching and filling up my insides.“Ace…please…” I begged him as I spread my legs wide for him. I reached up toward him with both my arms invitingly as I kept my pussy spread open to welcome his cock. Ace’s cock looked ready to burst and I knew that he couldn’t wait to shove that massive tool inside of me. “You look so sexy right now,” he complimented me with a look of raw desire in his eyes. “Take me…please…” I begged shamelessly as I held my thighs spread open for him. Ace stroked my pussy lips before spreading them and positioning the thick head of his cock at my entrance. I whimpered his name when I felt the hot heat of his hardness pressing against my pussy. Our eyes met and my insides clenched wildly in anticipation of his entrance. Ace smiled down at me before he thrusted his hips forward and screwed his cock hard and deep into my flooded love cave. “Ahhh!” I cried o
Just like how I wanted to make our wedding unforgettable, I wanted our first night together as a married couple to be unforgettable as well. Ace carried me to the bed and climbed on top of me just after we had arrived at the resort that we would be staying at for our honeymoon. It felt like the sea and all that mother nature had to offer outside could wait for the moment. At that moment, all that really mattered was the fact that we were together. “I want to fuck you already,” Ace confessed in a whisper close to my ear. His words and the way his warm breath tickled my ear sent shivers along my spine and I realized very quickly just how turned on I was already. Ace’s lips moved from my neck to capture my lips in an aggressive kiss that did nothing to hide his desire to have me. I kissed him back just as fervently before parting my lips invitingly for his tongue to delve inside my wet mouth. “Mhmm…” I moaned from the satisfaction of his tongue invading my mouth.My tongue welcomed hi
The guests clapped and cheered but I was so oblivious to them at that moment. All I could focus on was Ace while I cherished this memory that we were making together. It felt like a very bright and wonderful start to our future life as a married couple. The lunch reception that followed was slightly stressful for me given the fact that I didn’t have the chance to meet many people from Ace’s side of the family before. Regardless of my worries, it turned out that everyone was friendly enough even if it was for the sake of politeness. “Just smile, Rina. My bride looks so beautiful today,” Ace complimented me openly. “Thank you,” I replied softly.I knew that he was basically telling me to leave everything up to him and I didn’t mind letting him take the lead on this one. If I had to place my bets on which one out of us was the best at handling his family members, then it would be him and definitely not me. To my surprise, Ace’s father was very active in managing the guests. His conside
To my surprise, Ace was firm with his father so that his business partners would not be on the guest list. At the end of the day, the Chairman had to give his approval for Ace to have his way. I knew that Ace must have done that out of respect for my wishes.The white church decorated with a mix of white and light pastel pink and blue flowers gave off the slightly fairytale vibe that I had in mind. In fact, the set up and decoration looked better than what I could have imagined in my mind. The inside of the church was decorated with the same theme of flowers. “This is better than what I had in mind…” I told Ace honestly. “I’m glad to hear it. Let’s have a wonderful wedding, Rina,” Ace said before showing me a smile so charming that my heart skipped a beat. He reached for my hand and entwined his fingers with mine before giving my hand a soft and encouraging squeeze. I suddenly felt so excited and the wedding that was about to start felt more real than ever. “You’re right. Let’s re
