Mr. CEO We're Done! Everybody Hates Syrus
Syrus’s POVSyrus was restless, so much so that he practically waited for Davis while he handled a case in court.“Would you like something to drink? Mr. Davis might take a while longer to be done,” Davis’s secretary said to him for the third time in over an hour. “No, I don’t want anything to drink, I just need Davis!” Syrus snarled at her and she scurried away. He was being unnecessarily rude, but Syrus would even bite his mother’s head off if she stepped in his way right now.Since the conversation he had with Belinda, Syrus had been restless. He even felt guilty, because all this while, he was thinking that Vivian was avoiding him to punish him, and her father and brother were keeping her away from him, but the whole time, Vivian was missing. Syrus could not even begin to imagine what she must be going through, or where she might be. He did not even want to think of anything happening to Vivian, or his babies. When Belinda had told him, he had fought the urge to reach out to Vivi

Syrus’s POVDavis was fuming with anger as they waited in his office, while Syrus massaged his knuckles with a pack of ice.“How could you?!” Davis barked at Syrus when he could no longer hold in his anger anymore.“I am still your boss, Davis,” Syrus said warningly. “But you are making my job extremely difficult, Mr. Vale! Why did you punch the man like that? I thought you said we were going there to simply ask him a few questions!” Davis said, his voice hitting the roof. He was so angry, frustrated, and exasperated that he would have resigned from being Syrus’s lawyer if it wasn’t for the mouthwatering paycheck and fat allowances that came with working for his family.Davis already indicated interest in an expensive condo outside of the country; his retirement home, and he had already made a down payment, so resigning now was not even an option, no matter how much he wanted to. Working for these rich spoiled brats always exhausted Davis. They always felt that they could do just abo
Last Updated : 2024-11-10Mr. CEO We're Done! Change Of Mind
Vivian’s POVI sat quietly in Ken’s car as he drove out of Aimee’s house, and the one question that kept running through my mind was how did Ken know I was there?“Do you want to get breakfast? We could stop by at a good restaurant. I know one that sells the best recipe, especially ones that are perfect for your babies,” Ken said with a sweet smile that made me cringe.My hands flew to my stomach protectively. Ken noticed this and chuckled.I shook my head. “I am not hungry,” I said.“Why not? Have you already had breakfast?” Ken asked.I could not get over the feeling that being around Ken made me feel. Deep inside, I was afraid of him, and this had to do with what I overheard between him and Lori. Also, he just prevented me from getting a very important information out of her.“Damn, I didn’t even get to know her name!” I groaned internally as I scolded myself. How could I have been so foolish and forgetful to skip something like that? The least I could have done was get her name.

Vivian’s POV“What? Why?!” I asked in shock, completely forgetting that a while ago, I was over the moon in excitement because I heard my babies kick inside my stomach.“Ken’s apartment is better and more conducive for you,” Lori said sadly. I looked at Leo, but he looked away, unable to meet my eyes. Maybe I should have eavesdropped, because how did they change their minds only after Ken confronted her? Or maybe I shouldn’t even have told Ken about their offer. Maybe I should have looked for another excuse as to why I couldn’t take his offer. Now, Leo and Lori’s offer seemed like heaven compared to Ken’s. No matter the circumstances, no matter how stranded, broke, and alone I was, living with Ken was not an option to me.“What happened to yours?” I asked Lori, since Leo did not have the courage to even look at me. In fact, he looked as though he would rather be anywhere else but here.“After careful thought, we realized that it wasn’t available. It is occupied, fully,” Lori explaine

Vivian’s POV“Slow down, Manny, what are you saying?” I said, my heart beating really fast. “The very bad man I told you about that Ted owed a lot of money,” Manny started again.“Yes,” I said to notify him that I was following up.Manny’s information was making my head bang in confusion, and the fact that Manny was sounding extremely shaky and scared made me more agitated.“So apparently, he has been looking for Ted for a while now, and last night, he broke into our home and took Ted away,” Manny explained.“You saw him?” I asked, shocked. I didn’t understand why I was asking that question, because thinking about it after the question left my mouth made me realize how silly it was; whether or not Manny saw the drug lord, of what use would it be to me?“He sent thugs,” Manny answered anyway.I could feel tears gathering in Manny’s eyes, and my heart went out to him. “Did you say last night?” I asked Manny, recalling his earlier statement when he first broke the news to me.“Yes,” M
Last Updated : 2024-11-12Mr. CEO We're Done! Call For Help
Syrus’s POVSyrus was having a rough morning, so much so that he got back home from Davis’s office and decided to stay indoors. Maybe he would go to the office much later, or tomorrow, but whatever the case, he just needed to rest so that he could get his thoughts right.Thankfully, the living room was empty.He did not really check if his mother’s car or Bonnie’s was outside, so he couldn’t tell if they were home or not, but Syrus plopped on the couch and closed his eyes, trying to get some rest.But his mind kept drifting back to Vivian. He could not shake off the feeling that something was off. Her family would never include him in the search, Belinda would not tell him more than she already did; not that she knew much herself, because according to her, she was out of town when Vivian went missing, and all attempts to reach her have been futile, and now, he had gone to punch Vivian’s ex-manager in the face.“Damn, I really messed up,” Syrus scolded himself.He could not tell Davis

Georgia’s POV“Hi, is this the private investigator from the secret firm?” Georgia asked as soon as the call connected.She had been finding a way to bring that bloody interviewer down by all means. “She thinks she can humiliate and insult me, and go scot free? I will end her career,” Georgia had vowed to herself.She would rather die than let this slide. She had gone over and beyond to get to where she was, and in the process, had crushed anyone who stood in her way; she would definitely do the same to this interviewer and whoever put her up to it.Georgia suspected Vivian at first, because Vivian was the only person she had been antagonizing recently using Syrus, but then again, Georgia doubted Vivian would ever be able to pull such strings. Georgia knew Vivian and what she was capable of doing. What a lot of people didn’t know was that Georgia had known Vivian, and she could guess what she could do and couldn’t do. Anyway, Georgia was about to find out.So she had sneaked into the
Last Updated : 2024-11-13Mr. CEO We're Done! The Escape
Vivian’s POVI was more than relieved that Syrus did not hesitate to help me. In truth, deep down, I knew that I could count on him regardless of the fact that I ghosted him for weeks.“Keep your phone on and active, so that we don’t miss each other,” Syrus told me before we ended the call. His voice was a soothing balm to all that had been going on around me lately.The challenge now was how to get out of the coffee shop, and leave without being held back, and whatever I needed to do, I needed to do it before Ken returned, because Lori already mentioned that he would be back soon to pick me up. Going for the little clothes I had was not an option now, because they would suspect.I cleared my throat, straightened my shoulders, chinned up, summoned all the courage in me and walked out of the dressing room. I met Leo and Lori seated on one of the chairs that the customers usually sat on. They spoke in low tones, but when they saw me, they became instantly mute, which made me realize th

Mr. CEO We're Done! Trick Of Fate
Vivian’s POVThis had to be the greatest shock of my entire existence!“Are you okay?” I heard the voice of Marie as she called out, jolting me out of my reverie.I was standing right in front of Mr. Vale, Syrus’s father!So as not to act like a lunatic, I shook my head and quickly grabbed my bag that had fallen from my hand.“Yes…yes, I am okay,” I stuttered. “I, um…just lost my balance for a second,” I lied. It was not a good thing to say, especially with the kind of job I had come to do, but I couldn’t think of a better explanation for my actions without screaming the truth.Marie chuckled lightly and good-naturedly. “Oh, that’s great; I was worried for a bit,” she said.“Let’s allow her into the house, honey,” Mr. Vale said to his wife softly. The gentleness and love in his voice was evident and palpable.“Please, come in,” Marie said with a warm smile as they led me in.I thought the environment was serene, but it did not prepare me for what I was expecting to see in their living
Mr. CEO We're Done! The New Employers
Vivian’s POVAs the train rode by, I occupied my eyes with the beauty of the city that I was seeing. Not like I hadn’t seen most of them before, but now, I paid attention with the mind to actually enjoy what I was seeing. I had been quiet the entire time, and thankfully, no one sat close to me to even engage in a chatter. I wasn’t even feeling up to it in the first place. My heart and mind were numb and shut down, and I really wanted it to be so before I reached my destination.Syrus didn’t choose me, again.I decided not to think about his rejection so that I wouldn’t cry or feel horrible about myself.“He didn’t choose you, Vivian. You have you pick yourself up and move on,” I had told myself minutes before the train arrived.The next city where I would be meeting with my new employers was just about an hour away, so I had little time to dwell on my predicament.I was all alone now.I knew that I would feel the pain of his stark rejection, but not now. Right now, I just wanted to be
Mr. CEO We're Done! Choose
Vivian’s POVTaking the job even without knowing what it entailed aside from the fact that it was in another city and it was a housekeeping job was crazy, but I had no choice.In fact, I think that was what I really needed.I still had some sort of fear and anxiety, especially regarding the fact that the last time I went away, I had gotten myself into a deeper mess that I almost didn’t survive, but from what I was told, this wasn’t another small town, and this couple were not struggling financially, so it wasn’t much of a big deal. I had taken it, and I would still take it, because right now, I just needed to get away from my family, Syrus, and Belinda, because it was as though I was surrounded by people whom I thought I knew but didn’t actually know. This time around however, I had decided to do things differently. So when I arrived at home, I asked to speak with Manny and Dad; Ted wasn’t home again. Ted was another major reason why I just couldn’t continue living here, especially
Mr. CEO We're Done! Play To Win
Georgia’s POV“I can always get anything I want; I just have to put my mind to it,” Georgia told herself as she made her way to the address that she received in just a couple of hours, and also waited for an important call; it was this call that would aid her to do what she wanted to do without any hitch.In this city, Georgia knew whom to meet for whatever she wanted. Even if she didn’t need to meet anyone, she sure knew how to go about what she wanted.This wasn’t an exception.Every time she had a deep conversation with Nancy, she always ended up knowing what to do. “I will not allow Syrus to play me for a fool,” Georgia told herself with determination as she drew close. She had already prepared herself for what she was going to do, and there was no way she would not achieve her end result today. Georgia’s phone rang, making her sigh in relief.“About time,” Georgia said to herself before taking the call. “I thought you were going to wait,” Georgia said.“You have used our servic
Mr. CEO We're Done! Unexpected Turn
Vivian’s POV“Hi, my name is Vivian, and I am here for the interview,” I said to the person I met at the counter with the description I was given.After what I overheard from Manny and Ted, and with the uncertainty of the meaning of their words, I just knew that I couldn’t sit idly by and wait for any of them to sell me off. Hearing that dad had the intention of using me to offset his debt and that Manny and Ted were even in on it shattered my heart. I couldn’t confront Manny about what I overheard, or even force him into explaining what he meant by those words, but the words didn’t sit well with my spirit. I couldn’t ask Dad about it either, because it dawned on me that I had been living a lie for the longest time. I had gone into the storm room and cried regrettably for hours, and after that, I had begun checking sites for jobs online.I spent the entire night looking for urgent recruitments.I knew that I would have to get a job to support myself ahd the triplets when they eventual
Mr. CEO We're Done! Something Worthwhile
Georgia’s POVGeorgia’s heart did a flip-flop at Syrus’s declaration; she hadn’t expected him to say what he just said.“Is that the bone of contention now?” Nancy rose to Georgia’s defense.Neither Syrus nor Nancy knew but Georgia had instantly began to shake inside at Syrus’s declaration. She knew that she would have to be prepared, because now that she had placed herself in this position, she would have to go through it till the very end. She could not back out now. She could not risk anyone finding out that she was lying, because not only would it affect her career, the Vale family would never have anything to do with her. That would be two losses, and she could not afford that.“Mum, please stay out of this,” Syrus said angrily.His words seemed to have gotten Nancy more upset as she leaped to her feet in a fit of rage.“I have stayed out of your life way too long and that is why we are in this mess in the first place!” Nancy blew hot.“What are you talking about?” Syrus asked.G
Mr. CEO We're Done! Firm Declaration
Syrus’s POVSyrus paced about the living room boiling with rage. Davis stood close to one of the couches, confused. He did not know whether to sit, although he would very much like to, but then again, he had no idea if it would aggravate Syrus. Syrus had made him come to the house as well after the saga at the office. This was part of the scenarios that Davis always liked to avoid, because in situations like these, especially when he was dealing with a man like Syrus Vale, it would never end up well.Then Nancy sat in the living room, her expression unreadable as she watched Syrus walk about and boil with rage.“That son of a bloody bastard!” Syrus bellowed. “How dare he? As a result of what he had done, I have lost the one contract that meant the world to me!” Syrus continued to blow hot.Davis was quiet, because he did not know what to say, and at the same time, he did not want to say the wrong things. With how angered Syrus Vale appeared to be, he could fire Davis in a heartbeat,
Mr. CEO We're Done! Keep Her In the Dark
Vivian’s POVI could not believe what Ted just told me. My knees became weak and almost gave way, but I found a way to stop myself by gripping the kitchen counter firmly.Ted noticed it and smiled mischievously. “You had no clue, right?” He sneered. “Aw, poor Vivian who thought she was the golden little family princess,” Ted mocked clearly. “We are broke and there is no inheritance anywhere, so I hope you get out of your delusion and realize that nothing is as you see or think in this family,” Ted’s voice was firm and venomous, as though he wanted his words to eat deep into me.And they did.“Leave her alone,” came Manny’s gruff voice from behind Ted.Apparently, Manny had walked into the house and to the kitchen, but we had been too caught up in our conversation that we did not hear him, and I wondered if he had heard our conversation, or more so, Ted’s gripping words.Ted did not bother turning to Manny, and he did not turn and leave me alone as Manny instructed him. Instead, he wal
Mr. CEO We're Done! Ugly Family Secrets
Vivian’s POVI was in the kitchen making lunch when I heard the door open. I smiled as I stirred the pasta; Manny was back in time for lunch as I had just finished the cooking. He had left some hours ago saying he wanted to make a quick stop somewhere and that he would be back soon. Anyway, I decided to make something delicious for him and me, and that was after I had ensured that dad had taken his medication and was resting properly.“In here, Manny!” I called out; there was excitement in my voice, and even I could feel it.The moment a shadow fell on me from the kitchen door, shiver ran through my spine, and fear gripped me; it was Ted, not Manny.“Well, well, well, if it isn’t the jolly little sister of the family,” Ted sneered.I felt the heat of his words on my skin and my heart began to race faster. Then I managed to turn, but it did not prepare me for the rage and bitterness that I saw in Ted’s eyes.“Why did you come back?” Ted asked angrily and bitterly.I swallowed hard, try
