It was hard. Much harder than I thought.

Although I knew that it was going to be hard, I never imagined that it would be this hard or this painful. I had no idea how I managed to convince myself that I was going to be fine. It was such a thin line between acting courageous and acting like a fool, and in that moment, I had no idea which side of the line I fell on.

I could have escaped this situation or partially evaded it, but instead, I chose to face it in the name of maintaining my professionalism. The stinging pain in my chest made me doubt the correctness of my decision; however, there was nothing that I could do about it anymore at that point. There was no way that I could turn back time to undo my decision, and even if I could, I was sure that I didn’t want to do that. It was just unfortunate for me that it would hurt and bother me this much.

Just as Elizabeth had told us, if we wanted to act then we had to act fast while we still had the media’s attention. That was exactly wh

    Ace’s silence as he kept on staring into my eyes made me feel uncomfortable. “I’m sorry that you have to go through with this, but it is for our future together. So please, let’s both hang in there a little longer…” I said pleadingly before I would lose whatever courage I had and just call it quits. Ace continued staring at me and then his hand began slowly stroking my back. Without saying anything, his hand slowly moved upward along the curve of my waist and then up my arm. His lips curved into a little smile exactly at the same time as when his large hand landed on the top of my head. “You know, sometimes I wish that you would act a little more jealous and demanding…” Ace said before he laughed softly. I wasn’t sure if I understood what Ace was thinking. His words were very unexpected, and they caught me off guard and confused me. However, I was relieved at the same time that Ace no longer seemed angry or irritated. The look in his hazel eyes had softened as he smiled at me ador

    “Is it really true that you two are back together?” “Will there be an engagement soon?”“Will you two finally get married this time?”Many reporters stood up from their seats and shouted their questions toward the couple seated on the stage. As if led by the example of others, many other reporters stood up and started yelling out their questions as well. Chaos erupted along with the loud voices of the reporters. The sound of camera shutters going off and camera flashes filled the room as cameramen rushed forward to get a better shot of the couple. “Security, please help out…” I said into the microphone attached to the collar of my suit to make sure that the members of the security team were on top of things.There wasn’t much for me to worry about, at least in terms of security. With the two CEOs gathered in the same place, the security consisted of teams from both companies. Ace and Elizabeth did not look at all worried about all the ruckus that was happening in the room.

    I knew that Ace was probably thanking me for helping to organize the event on such short notice but also for hanging in there while I watched their perfect performance as the perfect couple on stage. “Thank you. Should we head back to the office?” I suggested while trying to sound polite. It went without saying that now that Ace was officially dating Elizabeth instead of being a hot and available bachelor while he was secretly dating me like before that I had to be extra careful about our interactions. I needed to play the role of his secretary perfectly and make sure that our relationship appeared nothing but professional. “No, I’ll accompany Elizabeth back to her office first. You don’t have to wait for me,” Ace replied with a nod my way. “Oh, sure…” I replied while trying to hide my slight disappointment. Elizabeth smiled at me before Ace led her away. I stared at them until they exited the room and were out of sight. All the while, I couldn’t keep my eyes from the way that sh

    “Umm…” I murmured as I wondered how I should best deal with their questions. “You work as his personal secretary, so you must know something…” a team member asked with excitement in her widened eyes. I could feel everyone’s gaze on me, and I just simply wanted to disappear. Of course, I should have known that something like this was bound to happen. It was such a shame that the company didn’t have solid rules against gossiping in the office although there was a rule against office romance in place. A wild idea entered my mind that maybe I should suggest an anti-gossiping rule to Ace because that just might make my life a little bit easier. “I’m very sorry to disappoint you guys but I honestly don’t know much at all about his personal life…” I replied before showing them what I hoped looked like a regretful smile. “Aww…that can’t be true…”“Are you serious?”“You work so closely with him and you two spend so much time together, how can you not know anything?”Their dissatisfied rea

    “I have to admit that I never thought things would turn out like this when he called you over to help him,” Richard confessed to me softly. I looked up from my computer screen to see him looking at me with passive eyes. Life had returned to normal on the surface, at least for me. Working in the office with my team on my project with Richard became the expected norm; however, that wasn’t all that I had to handle. “Yeah…it’s still very surprising for everyone…I think…” I replied before forcing myself to smile. “Hang in there. Don’t worry too much about this project,” he said while sounding quite bored. I wasn’t sure if I misheard him at first, but it sounded like he was trying to comfort me and cover for me at work. While staring at Richard, I couldn’t help but recall Ace’s words when he told me that he had decided to staff me on the same project as Richard. Although it seemed impossible and unbelievable at first, I was starting to think that maybe Ace was right, and that Richard mi

    “Ace…please…” I pleaded although I wasn’t truly sure if I wanted more or if I wanted him to stop. “Just relax…” Ace whispered seductively into my ear. The way his large hands and long fingers fondled and massaged my breasts felt too good for me to handle and it wasn’t long before I started moaning softly from the pleasure. I could feel my soft womanly flesh changing shape in his hands. I let out a louder moan when his lips moved to suck harder on my earlobe. “Ahh…Ace…” I moaned his name as I felt my body getting weaker and weaker.His hand massaged my breasts a little rougher than before and I could feel my nipples tightening while my core started to throb with desire. There wasn’t a lot of time left before we had to leave the office otherwise, we would be late to the event, and I was sure that Elizabeth wouldn’t be at all impressed by that. Despite knowing this, I couldn’t quite stop Ace and his intimate advances. “We shouldn’t…” I protested softly. I felt the heat of his palm a

    “No…” Ace replied without missing a heartbeat. “You can kiss my cheek. How’s that?” she suggested with a modified solution.“I don’t think there’s a need for that. I’ll just wrap an arm around your waist and hold you close,” Ace proposed before yawning. “That works too. The meeting with the board of directors and some other major shareholders is already next week so let’s do our best until then,” Elizabeth said before lifting her hand to fix her hair a little. “That’s fast…” Ace commented but he didn’t seem excited. “If things go well, we should get their greenlight to discuss the merger. It’s going to take a while to get them all on the same page but at least we’re starting somewhere,” Elizabeth explained with some excitement.“Hope things would really be that simple,” Ace muttered.“You should be there to convince them,” she suggested. “Isn’t it supposed to be an internal meeting?” Ace asked. “Well, since we’re dating with some future in mind, I don’t think that my father or t

    “Stop complaining. I think it well pretty well. All except for that reporter asking that question” Elizabeth said. “Let’s hope that it was just random coincidence and that he doesn’t really know anything,” Ace replied while loosening the tie around his neck. “I think you handled it pretty well,” I chimed in before smiling at Ace.“You think?” Ace muttered while sounding dead tired. “I think so, too. At least, putting a positive note on it is going to help get the media on our side. I mean, they think everything you say is good is good, you know…” Elizabeth readily agreed with me on this one. “It’s always a good idea to have the press on our side,” Ace said while nodding his head slightly. Ace looked tired and more than ready to take his leave. I smiled at everyone before thanking them again. “It is quite late already. If there’s nothing else, then we’ll take our leave for today,” I said politely. “Of course. Thank you again for today,” Helen replied just as professionally. The

  • 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

    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
