2024-10-30 17:02:53Damien stood there, still holding the gun in his hand, as if Marcello’s death meant nothing to him. He didn’t flinch at the sound of Vivian’s distress, didn’t look away from the corpse lying at his feet. This was just another day in his world. But somewhere deep inside, something twisted in his chest at the sound of Vivian’s sobs.
Nikolia glanced at him, his expression unreadable. “Enzo will be here soon,” he said quietly, as if the violence they had just witnessed was already being brushed aside. “We’ll take care of the rest.”Damien nodded, his jaw clenched. Without another word, he holstered his gun and turned to face Vivian. But before he could reach her, she swayed, her body giving out from the sheer exhaustion and trauma of the night. She collapsed, her world turning black as she slipped into unconsciousness.---When Vivian woke again, the harsh lights of the white room assaulted her senses.

Mr. CEO, Do you think I'm pretty too? Chapter forty nine
“Please… give me another chance,” he begged, his words raw with desperation. “I can’t lose you. I don't think I can go on without you. I know I’ve hurt you… I know I’ve failed you… but I swear, I’ll do anything to make it right.” His eyes shimmered with unshed tears as he leaned forward, his voice barely above a whisper. Compared to the cold hearted killing machine she had just witnessed some hours ago, this version of Damien, the way he made himself to bare and vulnerable to her made her heart clench, but could she forgive him so easily? He lied about who he was, putting her in danger. But he hadn't been the only one who lied, Bruce. She couldn't tell who's betrayal hit her more. Bruce or Damien? “But Vivian… if you want to leave… I won’t stop you. I won’t force you to stay in a life you don’t want. I’ll let you go, if that’s what you need.” The silence that followed was suffocating, heavy with uncertainty. Damien’s heart pounded in his chest as he waited patiently for her next wor

The office building was eerily hushed since most of its workers had already clocked out for the day, leaving only a handful of employees behind and that included Vivian Mercer. A spirited yet easy going secretary at D&_S modelling agency. After spending a good three years of her life working here, where she was only promoted to being assistant manager last year, Vivian was already accustomed to these halls. But now as she walked through these familiar corridors again she couldn’t understand why her heart became so restless and her back broke out in a cold sweat, maybe it was the thought of meeting Damien in his office after closing hours that put her o

Damien inspected her glasses closely, before folding them and setting them aside on the desk behind him. But he didn’t stop there. Seeing as she hadn’t objected him so far, the man reached back and pulled off the hair tie that kept her ponytail up, letting her brown locks fall down her back like a wave. It was a bit messy, but he didn’t mind. His expression was cold on the surface, but his electric blue eyes lit up in a sort of jovial excitement. “hm? That’s much better” he murmured, his voice so low it almost came out as a growl. “you’re beautiful, Vivian…” said Damien as he combed her hair with his fingers. Vivian’s breath caught in her throat as his fingers lingered near her pretty face. On the surface, she looked like any ordinary woman. She was simple, easy going and predictable. She was always on time and always had her hair tied up in a pony tail. Her round framed glasses made her look cute and unintimidating, a complete push over, but an earnest woman. Yet, as Damien stared a

The raw hunger in his voice, the way he spoke to her, the way he moved, it was all heady and she didn’t want him to stop. Her body responded before her mind could even catch up, her own desire rising to meet up with his. She wanted him too, more than she had ever allowed herself to admit. And here he was, offering her everything she had secretly wanted. Vivian shock her head. “I don’t want you to stop.” She admitted. Without another word, Damien closed the final gap between them, his lips capturing hers in a kiss that was anything but gentle. It was fierce, demanding, filled with all the pent-up yearning that had been building between them. Vivian gasped against his mouth, her hands instinctively reaching out to grab his shoulder for support, holding on dearly as her world was tilted on its axis. For three years, she had been by his side, shadowing his every move, while helping him run the agency. She had seen many women flock around him, many of these models begged to be with him, to

The sensation was overwhelming, a blend of pain, relief and pleasure all mixed into one, making Vivian gasp for breath as she held unto Damien’s shoulders, with each slow thrust, he let out a stifled grunt. His hands gripped her hips tightly, anchoring her to him as he began to build up momentum and tempo as he went deeper and harder, each thrust deliberate as he drove her closer and closer to her edge. Vivian clung onto him like her very life deepened on it right now, her fingers digging into his shoulders as she matched his rhythm, her body pressing against him with each movement, the world outside seemed to disappear, leaving only the two of them. “Vivian,” Damien murmured against her skin, his voice rough, his breath hot on her neck and the heat they generated mingling in the air. “you feel so fucking…good” She couldn’t form words of her own just yet. He felt amazing, he was amazing and she couldn’t think of anything now other than the sensation of him being inside her, the way

Vivian had styled her brown hair up, neatly tied back in a ponytail, keeping her look sleek and tidy. She slipped on her round-rimmed glasses, which framed her warm brown eyes, adding a touch of intellectual charm to her appearance. Feeling a bit more confident this time around, Vivian Mercer sashayed out of her apartment, her bag and files in hand. The drive down town was as usual, and the sun had long risen into the sky, ushering a new day for everyone. As she stepped into the bustling modelling agency, the atmosphere was electric with energy. Models were scattered around the spacious, modern lobby, some practicing their walks, others reviewing their portfolio with the agents. The air was filled with the hum of conversations, punctuated by occasional laughter and the clicking of heels against the polished marble floors. This was her life, and it swelled her with pride of be able to work here. The receptionist, a young man with a snarky attitude greeted her first, the gum in his mou

“Bruce, what are you doing here?” Vivian asked as the man as he gathered the fallen textiles and handed them over to her. Bruce stood before her, his well-defined features mixed with an almost relaxed demeanor. His blonde hair that melded with his deep chocolate brown eyes seemed to catch the sun rays, enhancing the radiance of his eyes, like one of those ken dolls that Vivian often collected as a child. Which, may or may not have been one of the reasons she had dated him back then. The way his eyes crinkled in a smile brought blush to Vivian’s cheeks as she reminisced about the days when she had been charmed by both his looks and his ambition. But sadly, not everything was destined to last.As she stood there pondering on all the reasons as to why her ex-boyfriend was at her place of work, her gaze shifted and she noted the badge that hung off his waist. A detective. Bruce’s smile softened a bit. Initially he had opted to go get a cup of coffee, but as luck would have it, right from

CHAPTER SEVEN Vivian, caught in the middle of their silent battle, felt her heart race. The tension between the two men was palpable, and it was drawing unwanted attention from the surrounding employees. She knew Damien’s habit of pushing people’s buttons, and Bruce’s strong sense of justice made him the perfect target. Damien was smug, calculating, and unyielding, always demanding respect without asking for it. Bruce, on the other hand, was honorable and steadfast, a man who had always stood up for what was right. But today, in the presence of Damien, Bruce’s usual calm demeanor was cracking. He was infuriated and Damien could tell, judging by the smug smirk that tugged at the corner of his lips, a twinkle of mischief in his eyes. “you should watch the way you speak to an officer of the law, Mr. Sullivan…” said Bruce, refusing to let go. “oh? And what happens when I don’t?” Damien’s eyes narrowed down, daring Bruce to make the first move. At least they had one thing in common, the

Marcello’s heart dropped into his stomach. For a split second, it felt like he had seen a ghost. Nikolia stood there, bathed in the faint moonlight, his tall frame exuding a cold menace that froze Marcello in place. His expression was hard, disgust etched into every line of his face and his golden eyes cutting through Marcello like a silent reaper of damnation.“Going somewhere, Marcello?” Nikolia’s voice was as cold as the night air, sending a shiver down Marcello’s spine.Marcello’s eyes widened, his mouth opening and closing as he struggled to find words. “N-Nikolia…” he stammered, taking a step back, but there was nowhere to run. The fat in his cheeks trembled. The wall behind him felt like a cage, closing in around him.Nikolia stepped closer, his eyes darkening with contempt. “ what's the matter, uncle Marc? You look like you’ve seen a ghost,” he said quietly, his voice dripping with disgust. “I guess betrayal has that effect, doesn’t it?”Marcello tried to swallow, but his thr

Rico stormed back to the center of the room, his face twisted in fury as more gunfire erupted outside. “This was supposed to be foolproof!” he spat, turning on Bruce with venom in his eyes. “You told me this would work!”Bruce gave a nonchalant shrug, not bothering to defend himself. He’d done what he was told. If Rico’s plans were crumbling, that was on him.“Looks like you’re the one who underestimated Damien,” Bruce muttered under his breath.“You—” Rico’s hand shot out, grabbing Bruce by the collar of his shirt, yanking him to his feet. “I swear to God, if you had anything to do with this—”“Enough!” Marcello barked, stepping between them, his eyes wide with barely concealed panic. “This is getting out of hand! We need to get out of here before it’s too late!”For the first time since the gunfire began, Bruce’s pulse quickened. He could hear the approaching footsteps, the gunfire getting closer. The time had come. The inevitable was h
Mr. CEO, Do you think I'm pretty too? Chapter forty five
Bruce had taken a photo of Vivian and driven down to the fake location where Rico and Marcello had planned to ambush him when he showed up. About a dozen foot soldiers were positioned at strategic places around the warehouse, waiting for the time. But as Bruce stood before the depleted building, he couldn't tear his gaze away from the the picture of Vivian. He stared at the picture for what felt like an eternity before delivering the message to Damien along with the fake location. A bitter smile appeared on his lips as he watched the file deliver. Somehow, he felt Damien wouldn't believe this crap. If he truly did love Vivian, he could tell from a mile away that these coordinates were bullshit. A part of him wanted to call it off, but he knew better than to intervene. No, that's not it. Bruce was just a coward, a dog on Rico's leash and it gnawed at him.Vivian was now a part of his past, but she wasn't the one to blame for the path he had condemned himself to be

Vivian gasped, her eyes widening in horror to think that Bruce was confessing to a murder made her question everything now. “No… no, Bruce, that’s not—” She shook her head, refusing to believe what she was hearing. The man she once knew, the man she had loved, couldn’t be capable of something like that. “You didn’t… You couldn’t have…”His face twisted in a madden excitement. A sick smile marked his features as he grinned from ear to ear like a mad man, but there was no denying it now. “I did. Hah, I shot him. Clean, one bullet to the heart. Just like Rico told me to.”Rico?? Why did that name sound so familiar. Vivian recalled going through Damien's notes the days he had been absent from work. But who exactly was Rico and how were Bruce and Damien even connected to it all.Vivian recoiled in her chair, her body trembling. “How... how could you?"“I didn’t have a choice!” Bruce snapped, his voice rising, raw and defensive. “They have everything on

Sly turned back to his laptop, as if he hadn’t just tried to push my buttons. “We make our move tonight. They don’t know that we know where they are, so we have the upper hand. We’ll strike fast, hit them from all sides.”Right in the middle of our conversation, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out immediately, my gut tightening the moment I saw the notification. An unknown number had sent me a message. I opened it immediately, and my blood ran cold.It was a picture of Vivian. She was tied up, her face streaked with tears, her eyes wide with fear. A message followed: **“Come alone, or she dies.”**I stared at the screen, my breath catching in my throat. Rage, fear, and panic crashed into me all at once, threatening to rip through the thin control I had left. I tightened my grip on the phone, the edges digging into my palm.Nikolia leaned in, his face hardening as he saw the picture. “Shit.”Sly glanced over, his smirk fading when he saw the image. “Ah... there it is.

Nikolia nodded in agreement, though his gaze remained locked on Sly, watching his every move. “Enzo’s right, Damien. The moment you go after them, you’ll be walking right into their trap.” I took a deep breath, trying to let the words sink in. Rico and Marcello were conniving bastards. They would use any weakness to get a leverage. “What do you suggest, then?” I asked after a moment, my tone hard but more measured now. Enzo relaxed slightly. “Sly," he motioned for Salvatore and the man moved quickly, pulling out a laptop from his bag. He perched himself behind a wooden desk and turned on the system, the cold light reflecting over his face as his fingers worked through the keys like a madman. "We got our Intel..." Sly grinned, his fingers already flying over the keys of the laptop. “I’ve been digging into Rico’s operations. I might have an idea where he’s keeping her.” My eyes locked onto Sly’s. “Where?” Sly pulled up a map on the screen, a series of routes and locations highligh

His glare was fierce, but I held my ground. “This isn’t the time to act reckless. And you know it. We need a plan. If you go after them now, you'd be playing right into their hands.”“I don’t care! They took her, Nik. They crossed the fucking line,” he huffed, knocking over a stack of magazines on his desk.I took a breath, keeping my voice steady. “I know. But if you charge in there like this, you could lose more than Vivian. You could lose everything. They’re waiting for you to snap, and when you do, they’ll be ready.”Damien’s eyes flickered with rage, but deep down, he knew I was right. He was smart enough to see the bigger picture, but in moments like this, his emotions were getting the best of him.I placed a hand on his shoulder, locking eyes with him. “We’ll get her back. But not like this. You need to stay focused, stay sharp. We’ll find another way.”He didn’t say anything, but the tension in his shoulders eased, if only a
