MR. CEO, ON YOUR KNEES 15: No One Is Perfect
Zayn let out a wry smile. He was unfazed by my response."Well, you can say that. Time passes, and people change as well," he said, gritting his teeth without the wry smile fading.I was surprised because the more I tried to subdue him, the more he found new tactics to defend himself. Was he trying to tell me he had changed? How did he expect me to believe that? I swallowed hard, and a faint smile escaped through my lips. He was indeed very brave. "Anyways, let's not get distracted. Since you've refused to go through the project demo, I'll give you a brief explanation then." With this being said, I brought out the 10.1-inch screen tablet phone from my bag and turned it on.I went to the gallery and scrolled to our company's illustration image, then handed him the tablet."We decided to come up with a new advertising system that not only helps in improvements in model marketing but also makes it more ey

ZAYNI couldn't believe what just happened a few minutes ago. It's been my wish to set my eyes on her again, even if it's just a quick glance.I couldn't believe I messed up the opportunity I had been praying for—I ruined the beautiful moment I had—being with Zora.I had rehearsed multiple times and stood in front of the mirror to practice how to keep my facial expression while presenting my words. I chose my words correctly so they wouldn't trigger her to remember the past.Despite everything, as soon as I saw her walking out of the restroom, I forgot everything and started fretting as I noticed how much better she had become. I was scared she wouldn't even listen to me or would embarrass me in front of my subordinates, which just happened.Well, I should blame myself for how she reacted. I should have apologized to her straight without beating around the bush. I should have been more loving and used appealing words instead of acting as if I was trying to buy her love with my money,

ZAYN —Blake, you wouldn't believe what just happened today." A smug grin tugged at my lips as I spoke."Really? Tell me then," Blake replied, his tone dripping with curiosity.I breathed a sigh, and a wry smile crept onto my lips. "I saw her—I mean, I saw Zora.""For real? So how is she? I bet she couldn't recognize you," he said, obviously teasing.My brows creased, and a faint smile curled across the corner of my lips. "Of course she did. And she is doing fine, even. I wasn't surprised though, because I know what she's capable of.""I second that. Zora is such a vicious lady. You really fumbled," Blake retorted, mocking me for my action. Well, I won't get offended because I created the problem for myself."You're right, Blake. I fumbled, but that's why I called so you could be of help with my problem." I crossed my legs, massaging my temples. Beads of sweat were dripping on my forehead.There was a brief silence from his end for some seconds. "And how can I help? How sure are you th
Last Updated : 2024-10-15MR. CEO, ON YOUR KNEES 18: Predatory Contract
ZAYN —I was still thinking about my crumbling world when I dozed off inside the car, only to be woken up about twenty minutes later by a knock on the window by one of the restaurant's attendants."Excuse me, sir. You've been inside here for too long without moving your car, so we decided to know if you are okay," the attendant stated with a creased forehead. His eyes were moving around inside the car, probably to know if I was doing something illegal in here."Oh, that's so kind of you. I'm actually fine. Nothing is wrong," I replied, forcing a warm smile to mask my emotions."Alright, sir. So can you leave now?" He requested, his gaze mean."Excuse me?" I snapped and glared at him with a stoic expression, but he doesn't seem to be moved."I'm sorry if I sounded rude, sir, but you're acquiring a slot where another customer would have parked his or her car. We kindly request you leave as you're done with refreshment," he went on."And if I don't?" I responded with a sneer on my face."

ZORA —"Uh, I'm really sorry for what happened in Southampton. I know I messed up the whole situation," Jason said, looking tired as we halted the car after driving off the restaurant's premises."Of course you did, Jason. Thankfully, you realized," I responded. This was what I was thinking of how to discuss with him, but I couldn't, so it doesn't seem like I'm berating him."I'm really sorry about that. Actually, I was just putting your interest in mind. Did you forget why we were there?""It doesn't matter, Jason. It doesn't matter," I replied, clutching my hands on my bosom as we were still inside the car.Jason sighed and gulped down the lump in his throat. "Listen, Zora. They say opportunity comes, but only once. I was trying to link you up with that man. Don't you know that once he notices your excellence, he can make you stand out in this country with just a recommendation

I had just returned from my daughter's school. When I reached there, she was already in the caretaker's sector because most of the kids had been picked up by their parents.Daisy and another boy, whose parent was said to have died in a road accident while coming to pick him up, were the only ones remaining there.It was said that the child would be handed over to the government because he has a single parent who had just died.Meanwhile, Jason was the one who drove us home and even gave Daisy a gift he bought for her before we proceeded to enter the building.As soon as we entered, Daisy rushed to the kitchen to get her food. I could see the desperation in her as she was eating. She had been hungry to the point where she couldn't even pray before eating.In all honesty, I felt really bad because the reason I starved my daughter wasn't valid. It was just because of that monster I
Last Updated : 2024-10-26MR. CEO, ON YOUR KNEES 21: I Won't Let It Happen
The following day, I drove straight to the office after dropping my daughter off at school.Upon arrival at the office, Tech Savvy Strategies, I was surprised to see Jason's car already in his private parking spot.Does it mean Jason has already come to work? I was surprised because it was too early for him to be at work when we don't have a major project we're working on.As I alighted from my Porsche Cayenne, the latest model, my PA rushed over to me and stretched out her hand to collect my handbag, but I waved at her in dismissal.I'm not the type who fancies a red carpet treatment, but due to Jason's persuasion, I accepted the service. However, since this lady started this job, I could count the number of times I accepted her red carpet treatment. And the couple times it happened was because it was done in the presence of Jason, so there was no way I'm going to resist that.I took my handbag and stormed off to my office. However, on my way to the elevator, I could hear my name scre
Last Updated : 2024-10-26MR. CEO, ON YOUR KNEES 22: He Wants To Kiss Me
"Of course, dear. You're Daisy's real dad, and she even sees you as her biological dad."He smiled joyfully and responded, "Thank you."I smiled back and stood up, walked over to him, and touched his hand. "There's nothing to be thankful for. You deserve it. Daisy loves you too; no doubt about that. So you deserve to be her real father," I said, smiling.I could feel his heart melt through his facial expression. He slowly looked up at my face, directly into my eyes, and asked, "What about you? Do you love me too?"I smiled and gently massaged his wrist before replying. "Of course, dear. You know that. I've always loved you. I love you as my friend and also my boss."His countenance instantly changed, and he withdrew his hand from my touch as if my hand stung. "That's not what I mean, Zora. Of course you know what I mean. Okay, do you love me as a man? Let's put being your boss aside," he questioned, expecting an answer.I was startled. "As a man? Was I loving you as a woman all this w

MR. CEO, ON YOUR KNEES 107: Buyer?
ZORA—"Ah! Jason? He didn't tell you? He has stopped working here," said Lisa with a creased forehead, making me stare at her moronically because it hit me hard. Is she trying to pull my leg or what? If Jason doesn't work here anymore, where could he be working? I hope he's not considering suicidal thoughts."But he's the owner of this place? Did he officially announce his resignation, or did you conclude it after not seeing him for long?" I asked her, tucking my hair behind my ear as I concentrated on her reply. Inside of me, I was already praying hard for it not to be what I'm thinking."I'm not saying based on assumption, Zora; I'm stating a fact. I even heard that he has got a buyer, and they're negotiating the price.""Buyer?" I asked with my jaw dropped. What is really going on? Could it be that Zayn went ahead with his plan of purchasing Tech Savvy Strategies, and Jason accepted? I shrugged off the thoughts because Jason, as far as I know, is not desperate for money to do that
MR. CEO, ON YOUR KNEES 106: He's No Longer Working Here
ZORA—"Mommy, wake up; it's morning already," I heard my daughter's voice as she barged into my room, causing me to sigh exasperatedly because I hadn't wanted to wake up by this time.I rolled myself to face her and stared at her for a few seconds before sighing. "Honey, it's not yet school time, okay? By the way, your schoolteacher just called yesterday and informed me of the postponement of your school's resuming date.""Huh, why would they do that?" She said with a frown."Are you not happy that you have more days to enjoy?" I asked with a surprised look. I thought she'd like to spend more days at home playing video games."I hate it. I'm missing my friends, especially Sophia and Liam. I want to see them." She responded with a decisive tone, making me chuckle. I thought she was missing studies, but she was after her friends."No worries, you'll see them soon, okay?" I said, and she nodded in affirmation and turned to leave.I sighed and was about to continue sleeping when she stopp
MR. CEO, ON YOUR KNEES 105: Has She Found Out?
DAISY —I had been worried since last night because of Blake's absence in the house. He had never acted this way before since we got married."Could it be that he got kidnapped on his way back, or did his car develop a technical issue, and he decided to park and spend the night at a hotel?" I asked myself, trying to figure out what might have gone wrong."At least he should have answered my calls if he's in a good state," I doubted, sighing in frustration, tears welling up in my eyes as I tried to stay strong."Gosh, God, don't let this befall me. I'm too young to be a widow. I don't even have a child," I cried, felt so emotional that the tears I had been controlling began streaming down my cheeks without my notice until a drop touched my lips.I quickly wiped my eyes and took my phone. I went online and searched for my husband to know the last time he was online.{Active five minutes ago}"Really? He was active a few minutes ago and didn't bother to call me back. Could it be that he
MR. CEO, ON YOUR KNEES 104: Are You Trying To Blackmail Me?
Blake —I felt completely weakened and confused. "Are you trying to blackmail me, Danielle?" I asked, trying so hard not to make my fretting obvious to her.She swallowed the lump that formed in her throat, tucked the few strands of hair cascading down her cheeks behind her back, and turned to me with a mean expression."I'm not here to debate, Mr. Blake. I've already fulfilled my mission, so you should do what's necessary; otherwise, your wife will find out...""No, no, no. It's fine. Let's settle it here, please," I said with tension, reaching into my wallet and taking out a few bundles of dollars. "I hope you'll leave me alone now. You have to delete those videos in my presence so everything will be sorted out," I said, expecting her to comply."Alright," she said, unlocking her phone and deleting the videos as I requested."Good. I hope you can now stay away from me and never disclose what happened here to my wife. I hope the money is enough for you," I said, my voice a mix of ser
MR. CEO, ON YOUR KNEES 103: I Slept With Danielle
Blake —My hand landed on something soft, and my subconscious guided them to form a gentle circle, as if cradling a delicate object. The sensation brought me a strange sense of satisfaction, and I pinched them.The softness made me wake up to see what it really was, and then I saw her—a lady lying close to me.“Ah…” I gasped in shock, taken aback as I noticed it was her breasts that I was touching all this while. Apparently, she was naked because she only covered her body with the duvet, but some parts of her cleavage were showing.I was startled upon realizing that I was in a hotel room with a naked lady.I slowly raised the duvet to observe myself, to confirm if my instincts were right, but unfortunately, it is what it is—I was naked as well."What is going on here? How did I get here?" I asked, shaking her and waking her up from sleep.I could only remember going to the bar to drink in order to forget my problems, especially the issue of childlessness in my marriage, but finding my
MR. CEO, ON YOUR KNEES 102: You Stole All My Attention
ZAYN—"Babe, what about your friend Daisy? I haven't seen you talking to her or mentioning her lately. Are you still in touch with her?" He asked, running his fingers through my hair as I rested my head on his chest, feeling the softness of his beard.We both were lying on the bed, taking advantage of that prime time of the early hours of the morning. Unlike usual, we didn't have sex today because we had enough last night—in fact, almost throughout yesterday was sex that we accomplished."Of course I do. But you stole my attention throughout this period that I couldn't even think of calling her," she replied, sighing and giving me an unserious deadpan look.I chuckled and responded, "As it should be. I deserve all the attention.""While I don't deserve yours, right?" She asked with a tone of jealousy, leaving me curious. Hadn't I been giving her my attention since our reunion?"What is that supposed to mean? Had I not been here with you throughout this week, I didn't even visited my o
MR. CEO, ON YOUR KNEES 101: What's The Result?
DAISY —"So, doctor, what is the result?" Blake asked as soon as he barged into the doctor's office upon the doctor's summons.However, when he saw the solemn look on my face, his body weakened instantly."Um, calm down, Mr. Blake. Please have a seat," the doctor remarked, bringing out the test results. Before she could even stretch out her hand to give them to Blake, he snatched them from her and began scanning through them."Fuck!" He exclaimed, kicking the air with his hand as he saw what was written there.He exhaled a deep sigh of frustration before swallowing the lump that formed in his throat."Calm down, Mr. Blake. None of you are to be blamed for this unfortunate situation, but..."Blake did not even wait for the doctor to finish speaking, and he rose to his feet, flinging the test result to me and heading out of the office with his gaze upcast. He wasn't happy at all.At that moment, with the expression on his face, if a fly mistakenly perched on his face, it was surely goin
MR. CEO, ON YOUR KNEES 100: Sell Off His Business
ZORA—"So what do you think of what your mother said?" I asked Zayn, who was resting his head on my bosom.We had just returned from the lawn fun activities, and now we were resting in our bedroom while Daisy was in her room as well, sleeping. It's almost night, so we're just waiting for dinner before going to bed.The activities at Nicholas' mansion have left her so tired that she just went to bed upon arrival."She did make sense, but I don't know what to say," he answered, taking his head off my bosom to meditate."Do you mean that you don't have a say in this issue?" I asked him with a creased forehead, infuriated by his response."Not at all, dear. Don't misquote me. I'm just... I'm... I'm. Damn, in fact, come stay with me here. After all, I'm a billionaire and can take care of you and our baby without any stress," he said, sighing.I exhaled a deep breath, silent for a while, which made him worried."You're not talking?" he asked, exasperated by my silence."What should I have do
MR. CEO, ON YOUR KNEES 99: Boat Cruise
ZORA—"I should go spend time with my daughter too. I've accompanied you enough," Zayn said, cupping my cheeks, making me giggle shyly."Mommy, come on, let's go on a boat cruise," Zayn said, heading to fetch Daisy, who was already playing on her own as Nicholas' daughter had already left for their house, leaving only Daisy, who never gets tired of playing.I watched with so much joy as he put on her life jacket before taking her into the boat. He then wore his and entered the boat as well. He put on the seat belt and made Daisy cling to his waist, holding his waist tightly so she doesn't fall off during the cruise.When he was sure everything was in order, he turned on the engine, and they both waved at me, which I returned with smiles on my face before they took off.My gaze fixated on them until they were out of sight before I exhaled a sigh, realizing that I wasn't alone on the lawn. I tilted my head to check on Grandma, only for our eyes to collide."I can see you're enjoying you
