Jeremy didn’t seem so open about the situation that he had with his team, and I wasn’t willing to let it slide by taking his words at face value.

“To be honest, working with Richard is much harder than I first thought…” I confessed while thinking that telling him about my situation first might be the right way to get him to open up to me more.

“Really? I’ve worked with him before but not that closely. He’s famous for being like that but I didn’t think that it would be that bad,” Jeremy said as his brows drew together in a look of concern.

“Yeah. Oh, but don’t worry about me too much, I’m working hard and I’m managing to hang in there somehow,” I said as I tried to reassure him.

The doubtful look that he gave me told me that my words didn’t quite sound credible. For a moment, I wondered if it was a mistake to bring this up. Maybe I was causing my dear colleague more worry even though I wanted to hear more about the problems that he was facing.

“Is that so? I’m sure that he doesn’t

  • Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss   Hope and Disappointment

    Ace would quit his job and disappear from the company and my life. I wouldn’t see him anymore and everything would be chaotic for everyone. There would be a sudden change in management and then there’s also that matter to do with the merger. In reality, the only big change that impacted my life seemed to be my new staffing with Richard and the new team members that I had to work with. The other change was that Ace and I got even busier, and it wasn’t uncommon for the two of us to be spending time late in the office together. I had no idea whether I should count myself as lucky that the changes that I had feared did not come too suddenly or drastically or if I should fear the fact that the inevitable was just being dragged on. When I tried to think about it realistically, it did make sense that Ace wouldn’t just up and disappear while leaving the company and all his employees behind. Also, it wasn’t completely feasible for such a huge merger to be finalized in a matter of days. I was

  • Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss   He’s Not Alone

    Because Ace had asked me to wait for him at his place, I decided to order in a simple dinner. It was when I had finished eating that I realized that Ace did not mention when he would be back and that was probably because he didn’t know. The dining room was quiet, and it felt quite lonely to be eating alone. I wondered what Ace was up to and I hoped that everything was going well on his end. Not knowing what to do, I pulled out my laptop and decided to do some work to pass the time. It was ironic how my date night with Ace turned out to be a working session, but I thought that it would be better to get some work done than to just sit around and worry. After a few hours of working, I realized that it had gotten quite late and there were still no signs of Ace. I hoped that he had a chance to eat something for dinner. I stared at the entrance of the place as I started to worry about him. Debating with myself just made me feel even more hesitant about giving him a call so I just reached

    Ace paused and since Elizabeth did not say anything to show that she minded Ace letting me in on what happened early in the evening, I decided to ask Ace for more details. “Her marriage? Did something…happen?” I asked while feeling quite afraid that I would choose the wrong word.It indeed felt like a sensitive topic, and I wondered what her father had to say about their marriage now that they were already married. I was sure that Chairman Chase did not find Kyle an impressive man fitting for the role of his daughter’s husband, but they were already married. Kyle had not gotten in touch with me for a while now and I was glad to have peace and quiet at that end. I had thought that things must have been progressing smoothly for Kyle and Elizabeth but that didn’t seem to be the case, at least, as far as her father was concerned. “As you’re already aware of, the chairman isn’t fond of Kyle as his son-in-law. Oh, and the two of them are not legally married on paper. Anyways, her father w

    Ace nodded solemnly without saying anything. An uncomfortable moment of silence filled the room like a void that refused to disappear. What made me the most uncomfortable was the fact that Elizabeth had not said anything at all since taking her seat. “Umm…have you two had dinner? Should I order something nice or maybe make some coffee or tea?” I offered as I tried to play the good host. The truth was, I wanted to get away for a while to give Elizabeth some personal space and myself some time to think things over. The tension in the air was too high for me to take. “Some coffee might be good. I’m not hungry and Elizabeth’s clearly not in the mood to eat,” Ace replied for both Elizabeth and himself. …When I returned with coffee for the three of us, Elizabeth was still staring absentmindedly into space. Ace was seated at the exact same spot, and it seemed like the two of them had not spoken to each other since I got up and left to prepare us all some coffee. Unlike me, Ace didn’t se

    The story she was telling was finally taking a turn and it was for the worse instead of the better. The regretful look on her face told me that nothing played out as she had planned or anticipated. “That day things really got out of hand, and I guess I was very emotional when he told me that he would disown me if I didn’t break up with Kyle. I mean, after all that I did for him and all that I had to take from him, how could he say something like that to me?” she said before her voice started to crack up with emotion.The look that she had on her face told me just how ridiculous she thought her father’s suggestion was. I had no idea what Elizabeth had to go through to live up to her father’s expectations, but I could guess that she probably had been working hard to please him all her life. Elizabeth quickly took a deep breath, and her face became composed again. When she spoke once more, her voice was steady. “Then a stupid idea flashed into my mind that if Ace could pull that deal o

    The least that I could do for her at the time was to offer to host her for the night, although, to be more correct, Ace would be hosting her since it was his place and not mine. “Rina, why don’t you take Elizabeth to her room and help her settle in a little? Elizabeth, you should shower and go to bed early. You can figure things out tomorrow,” Ace suggested. Elizabeth seemed lost in her own thoughts again and only responded with a small nod of her head. I quickly got up from the sofa to lead the way to one of the guests’ bedrooms. Without a word, Elizabeth got up and followed me while looking very absent-minded. …“She’s taking a shower, then I guess she’ll go straight to bed. It is quite late…” I reported dutifully to Ace when I returned to the living room.Ace was still sitting on the sofa, and he looked so tired that my heart ached for him. As he had instructed, I took Elizabeth to one of the guest bedrooms that hadn’t been used for a while. Big thanks to the housekeeper for kee

    “Like I said, you don’t have to bother picking me up. I’ll go to the office, so if you want to see me, you can see me there,” she said before rolling her eyes in apparent annoyance. I figured by that time that the poor soul on the other end of the line was no other than her husband, Kyle. Of course, I did not sympathize with him and the treatment that he was receiving from his wife. Elizabeth said a few more words before she hung up the phone. “Good morning,” Ace greeted her casually.“Good morning to you too,” she replied while still staring at her phone screen. “Good morning,” I chimed in. “Guess you’re heading back to work?” Ace asked.“Yes, where else would I go? The company doesn’t run itself, unfortunately…” she said before she flashed us a smile. The gloom and doom Elizabeth from last night was completely gone and the confident Elizabeth was back. At first, I disliked this version of her so much but after seeing her in the state that she was in last night, I had to say tha

    I wasn’t sure if I wanted a response from Ace or if I was just pondering that question. Kyle wasn’t poor because poor was what I was for the vast majority of my life. He just isn’t as rich as Elizabeth and the Chase family. “It’s wrong if you want to marry Chairman Chase’s only daughter. Otherwise, there’s probably nothing wrong with it,” Ace replied without even spending time to think about it. “I guess…” I murmured softly. I stuffed some salad into my mouth and began munching on the green vegetables although I couldn’t taste much at that point. My mind was too consumed with my own thoughts as I let time slip pass us by in silence. If not being rich was wrong for someone marrying into the Chase family, I wondered if it was also wrong for the Hills’ family as well. “What will happen to the merger?” I asked in a small voice.That was the closest question that I could think of to the question that I truly wanted to ask. I wanted to ask Ace what was going to happen to us but then rea

  • Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss   The End - True Love

    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

  • Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss   Wedding Night

    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
