Mr. CEO I can't Be Hidden Anymore

Amaka’s POV:

It was my 18th birthday. I had just graduated from high school, and Joseph Ericson was my boyfriend. He wouldn’t let me be, begging and disturbing me to have sex with him.

I had told him that I wanted to wait until after our marriage, but Joseph refused. He claimed that I did not love him enough and that was why I didn’t want to sleep with him. I agreed, and here I was in a hotel room with him.

I was a shy blonde girl, fair in complexion, but Joseph was the reverse of me. He was dark-complexioned, taller than me, and very handsome. He had short black hair, and I really loved him very much.

Joseph Ericson came from a wealthy family in Palazzo Town, where we lived, while my parents were average workers. Because of this, we were not considered as well-off as Joseph’s family.

Joseph promised to marry me. He was 21 years old and a business student at the university, while I was still preparing to gain admission and join him there.

I had lied to my mother, telling her that I was going to see my friend, so I could meet Joseph while preparing to write my admission exam for the university. I sneaked into this hotel room to see Joseph, and here we were.

“Mm! Ah-ha!” I moaned as Joseph drove into me faster and moaned into my ear, “Yes, babe. You are so sweet.” He got his release inside me.

“Joseph, it hurts,” I cried as he kissed me warmly and sat beside me on the hotel bed.

“I am sorry, my love. I will forever cherish this,” Joseph said, cupping my pretty face as he kissed my forehead. “I cannot seem to get enough of you. I wish we could get married so I wouldn’t have to leave you.”

I wiped my teary eyes and looked at his handsome face as we continued lying on the hotel bed.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” I asked him, and he sighed.

“Look, Amaka, I want you to know that I love you very much. But my family and I are moving to the city next week. You know that my father owns a big company there. So, he informed my siblings and me that he had acquired a new mansion. That means that I will be leaving with them, and we might not get to see each other again.”

My eyes welled up with tears as I heard Joseph say that to me.

“But you will still call me on the phone, right?” I asked him, trying to believe that Joseph wouldn’t get to the city and fall in love with another woman there. I loved him very much. He was like the air that I breathed. My heart and soul wanted him.

“I promise you, I won’t forget about you. Any time I am on vacation, I will come around to see you. Instead, I will lodge in a hotel, okay? You are my wife, so stop crying.”

Joseph wiped my tears away and drew closer to me on the bed as he kissed me on the lips again.

I was crying and was not in the mood to kiss him.

“Why not take me home with you? Tell your parents that I am your girlfriend and that you wish to marry me. You have been hiding me all this time and don’t want to introduce me to your mother,” I told him.

Whenever I told Joseph that I wanted to come and see him at his family home, he would refuse. None of his siblings knew that we were dating, and I felt so awkward chatting with his brother online and introducing myself to him as Joseph’s girlfriend.

*My elder brother is not in any relationship,* Aaron would say.

Joseph kept me hidden, and I didn’t know how long he planned to continue doing that.

“No, Amy. I promise you, when the time is right, I will take you home and introduce you to my family. If I do that now, my parents will get annoyed and give my inheritance to my younger brother. I have to get established first. After that, I promise you, we will get married,” Joseph said, wiping my sobs away.

I wished that I could believe him, but I had this lingering feeling that he was lying to me.

Was he lying to me?

Did he have another woman in his life?

My heart became so heavy as I realised that I had just lost my virginity to him, before thinking about all these things.

Joseph kissed me again and thrust into me before my mind could register that I needed to ask him.

I groaned with each deep thrust, and he took me to cloud nine with him.

Four Years Later

“Mom, when are you taking me to school?” my three-year-old son asked me. He was so smart and intelligent for his age.

“Jason, you are still a baby and are not fit to go to school yet,” I told him as I prepared for my new job interview.

“That’s a lie, Mom!” Jason shouted.

I sighed and rolled my eyes as I stood by the mirror in my room, combing my long blonde hair and spraying my orange perfume.

“Jason, why would Mommy lie to you? Have you ever seen a baby going to school? You have to stay at home with my friend,” I told him, and he frowned.

“Mommy…” Jason burst out crying, and my best friend, Maureen Austin, came into the room.

“What’s going on here, Amaka? What did you do to my small husband?” Maureen asked me as she scooped Jason up into her arms.

After I got pregnant, my parents chased me away and refused to sponsor my education. I tried calling Joseph to tell him that I was pregnant, but guess what? He blocked my line and told me to get rid of the baby because he wasn’t ready to father a child.

I couldn’t do that, so I had to beg Maureen for help. She was a tailor and also worked with blogs, so she pleaded with her mother, who was a single mother. Her mother allowed me to live with them.

Later, I started creating blogs too, as Maureen told me I could do it as a part-time job from home.

With that, my page gained one million followers as I created a baby page for my son and uploaded cute photos of him.

Many fans loved Jason. He was fair, just like me, but while I had long blonde hair, he had short brown hair.
