Mr. CEO We're Done! Dazzling Experience
Vivian’s POVI sat in a cab and wondered if Syrus would fall for Belinda’s crazy idea. Left to me, I would have gone without making an effort, but then, again it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get Syrus jealous after treating me like I meant nothing at all to him.My phone rang and when I checked the caller ID; it was Syrus. I wondered why he was calling me. If it was to cancel, it would really break my heart after all the effort I put into getting dressed. I took out a tiny mirror from my purse and stared at my reflection again. I could not deny that Belinda did an outstanding job on my face, and involuntarily, my mind drifted towards Georgia, and I started to wonder if Syrus would still think Georgia was finer and hotter than I was.“No, Vivian, you shouldn’t be doing this,” I shook my head and said to myself. “You are beautiful and enough and Syrus was the wrong man for you, that was why he couldn’t value you,” I told myself.Then I focused more on the beauty that Belinda had made of my
Mr. CEO We're Done! Out Of The Blue
Vivian’s POV“Why would you call me that?” I asked breathlessly. Hearing Syrus call me “Viv” just brought a whole lot of unpleasant memories. It made me recall all the times we were good together even though it was fleeting, and because I didn’t see it coming, my breath got stuck in my throat for a minute.Syrus cleared his throat as though he had made a mistake. “I shouldn’t have,” he said instead.I sighed and let it slide, reminding myself that this was not a romantic date no matter how stunning I looked, and I should not take anything of Syrus seriously. He had me once and he had lost me. According to Belinda, never give a man the chance to treat you badly twice.“It’s fine. Let us get to why we are here,” I told Syrus.Suddenly, the urge to get through with it and leave Syrus’s presence became overwhelming. We began to talk about what we wanted for our babies and the kind of parenting that would suit us both. Like we had been advised, we talked about things that would work for u
Mr. CEO We're Done! The Outsider
Vivian’s POVFor a moment, we both stood staring at each other. I could feel the hate from his stare, and it made me very uncomfortable. I knew that I had been told that he was coming back, but I hadn’t expected him to be back now, or worse, walk into the house and find him standing there.“What are you doing here?” He asked venomously.“Ted,” I said breathlessly.For years now I haven’t spoken to or called his name, and it sounded strange on my tongue. Ted winced at the sound of his name from me.“I asked you a question,” Ted said. The more he spoke, the angrier he sounded.Before I stubbornly moved out of the house, Ted and I were the closest sibling, even closer than how Manny and I were, but after I moved out, he completely closed up on me and I did not bother to reach out or mend the broken wall between us. I had been too engrossed with trying to make the marriage between Syrus and I work that I had neglected the people that mattered most to me.“I…” I started, then stopped, beca
Mr. CEO We're Done! A Hard Move
Vivian’s POV“Ted, don’t be silly,” Manny warned.None of us had expected him to say something like that. I knew he was upset, but I never imagined that it was that upset to not want me in the house, or worse, willing to leave forever just to avoid me.“Ted…” I called Ted, but he glared at me furiously.“Don’t you ever!” Ted barked at me. “You have lost all rights to call my name. I hate you so much, and I would never accept you back as a member of this family,” Ted said bitterly.My knees became weak and I staggered backwards. Thankfully, the door wasn’t far from me, so it held me back, otherwise I would have fallen to the ground. The hatred and venom in Ted’s voice was very thick. “Ted, that is too hostile,” dad scolded him.“Hostile? Did you say hostile? She turned her back on her damn family! That is an unforgivable offense!” Ted queried.“I am sorry,” I said as I began to cry. I meant it when I said I was sorry. If I had known that things with Syrus would turn out this badly, I
Mr. CEO We're Done! Her Nemesis
Georgia’s POVGeorgia walked into her apartment tired, frustrated, mad as hell, and bitter.“Why the heck did that bitch call Syrus right when things were about to get down?” Georgia asked herself.She had bitten the pillows and groaned in frustration after Syrus had dashed out after taking Vivian’s call, and no amount of cajoling and cooing had worked to make him stay.“This is important, Georgia,” Syrus had said and rushed out hastily.They had almost kissed and Georgia knew that would have been it for her. It wasn’t exactly difficult to get Syrus to have an affair with her before; he had been a wandering husband seeking the fruit that resided outside his marriage and she had been more than willing and available to indulge him, but indulging him had made Georgia want him all to herself, so she had worked hard and tirelessly to make sure that the marriage between Syrus and Vivian crashed.Georgia knew that getting Syrus back into her bed wouldn’t be that much of a hassle now. Althoug
Mr. CEO We're Done! Scandalous
Vivian’s POVI racked my brain trying to come up with the next best solution to my problem. It was gradually getting dark, and very unsafe and unhealthy to be out here on my own. My phone rang, and it was Belinda. I picked up, sighing.“Hi, Bel,” I said weakly. The noise in the back indicated that she was in a very lively place. “Vivian, did you get my text? I am currently out of town,” Belinda yelled into the phone. She also sounded very excited, and it was obvious that she was having lots of fun. “Yes, I did,” I told Belinda. Instantly, I felt guilty for interrupting Belinda’s fun. She had always been available for me, and it was no fault of hers that I was outside at this time, pregnant and stranded. It would be unfair of me to ruin her fun with my predicament.“What’s up?” Belinda asked. I bet she was struggling to hear me. She laughed heartily at something someone said over there, and it pinched my heart.“I was just calling to check up on you,” I lied. I was already causing t
Mr. CEO We're Done! We're Divorced, Remember?
Vivian’s POV I opened my mouth in shock at what I was seeing, and I did not even realize when I screamed, making Dan to rush into the room.“Are you okay?” Dan asked.I stared at him, speechless. “What happened?” Dan asked, a mixture of dread and confusion in his face. The words hung in my mouth, unable to say out the words. My eyes darted from Dan to my phone, and I could barely believe what I was reading.Dan carefully walked closer to the bed and stretched his neck, trying to get a sneak-peek of what was making me act all weird and scary, and at the same time, maintaining distance. I decided that it was time to put Dan out of the torture of his worries.“The headlines,” I said.Dan looked at me, more confused now. “What is going on with the headlines?” He asked me.“There is a news about me there,” I said, “About us, actually,” I corrected.Dan’s brow furrowed in more confusion. “What are you saying?” Dan asked.I decided then to read out exactly what I was seeing instead of exp
Mr. CEO We're Done! An Interfering Ex
Vivian’s POVI walked around the block, hoping to grab a taxi soonest. It was a good thing I freshened up before coming out to see who was calling, so I looked around, waiting for a cab to take me to work. I felt irritated and angry at Syrus, because now he had caused me to miss Dan’s delicious and sumptuous breakfast.“Vivian!” I heard the angry and yelling sound of Syrus’s voice behind me. I was startled at first, but I did not make any attempt to turn when I realized that it was Syrus. I felt him walking towards me, and I groaned my teeth in annoyance. “Why the heck is he following me now?” I asked no one in particular. I thought he would have gotten into his car and driven off without a care in the world, so why was he on my heels now?Syrus got to where I stood and grabbed my hand, causing me to twirl around and face him. “Vivian!” Syrus yelled angrily again, even though he was already close to me now.I forced my hand away from his grasp, and it was easy because Syrus’s grasp

Mr. CEO We're Done! The Setup
Georgia’s POVIn private now, Georgia held her hand to her chest and released the breath that she had been holding.“That was freaking close!” Georgia said in shock.While she sat there and watched the banter among Syrus, Nancy and Bonnie, Georgia had been praying that Bonnie wouldn’t be pressured into telling the truth, thereby mentioning her name.She was really smart enough to have told Bonnie to wire it over to her, because she knew without a doubt that Syrus definitely tried to trace that money. “I have to think of something,” Georgia said to herself in thought.She received the mail of her officially approved contract with the TV show, which meant that the money would soon be paid to get. It also meant that she would soon begin her tour. All things seemed to be working well for Georgia. Now, her only problem was Bonnie. Georgia had a deep feeling that if Syrus applied just the right pressure, she would slip. She knew Bonnie and the soil she was made from. Bonnie was too soft at
Mr. CEO We're Done! Get The Money From Him
Vivian’s POV“Twenty thousand dollars?!” For a moment, I thought my ears were playing tricks on me, but from the look on Manny’s face, I knew he was not joking. Why would he? Who would joke about something as important as this?Manny took a seat, dejected. He looked like he was dressed for work, but I couldn’t ask him.“Dad’s medical bills certainly shouldn’t have cost that much,” I said with certainty. Not like I had any valid proof, but I just couldn’t believe it at all. “You weren’t here, Vivian, so you have no idea what it was like,” Manny said.There was still the underlying tone of anger and resentment which I just recently figured out, and it really broke my heart. Well, I guess everyone in my family now officially hates me.“I know that, but…” I tried to talk, but Manny interrupted me.“What about that Jane girl?” Manny asked out of the blue. I blinked several times, because for a moment, I could not understand Manny’s question, and he noticed my confusion.“The girl you m
Mr. CEO We're Done! No, We Can't
Vivian’s POV“What does that even mean?!” I asked, angrier now.“What doesn’t it mean? Vivian?” Manny responded, equally upset, even though we were both equally trying to keep our voices down so that we would not wake dad up.“He does not want to see you, or speak to you! I wouldn’t even have let you in if he was awake!” Manny spewed.His words hit me like a punch in my guts, making me stagger backwards. So this was what life had become for me. My dad who accepted me when I returned after the divorce no longer accepted me.“This is not fair!” I said as hot, bitter tears began to fall from my eyes. “This is not fair at all.”It was as though my words aroused the anger that Manny had been trying so hard to keep at bay.“It is not fair? Vivian, do you have any idea the pain you have caused us?!” Manny bellowed. “First of all, you ran off with a man that none of us approved of!” Manny said.“I know that. I know that,” I was crying now, in deep regret.“That alone, caused dad to have his f
Mr. CEO We're Done! Nothing Is The Same
Vivian’s POVAfter Belinda left for work, I began to contemplate whether or not I should go. I wouldn’t have gone if Ted hadn’t been taken away, which should have given me enough confidence, but now, I just felt horrible going, because all this problem was because of me.I hadn’t spoken to Manny since the last call when he told me to run to safety. Maybe he must have been trying to reach me, but my phone was switched off.“You don’t have all the time in the world to contemplate, Vivian,” I told myself, because if I don’t go now, I might not catch Manny at home before he goes to work.So I got dressed and left the apartment, taking the key with me.On my way there, my heart began to pound heavily, and I wondered why I was feeling this way about visiting my family. I used to be very comfortable around them, and even though we have had our rough patches, we were still a family.Standing in front of the door now, I inhaled and exhaled.“You have got this, Vivian,” I encouraged myself befo
Mr. CEO We're Done! I Am Doing It
Vivian’s POVI have been reminiscing on the things that Belinda revealed to me, and I could barely make sense of it.I watched Belinda getting dressed for work as I stayed lazily in bed, my mind trying to understand everything.“Vivian!” Belinda practically yelled my name, making me snap out of my reverie. “Jeez, you were lost for a moment,” Belinda said.“No, I have been here,” I lied, and Belinda knew I was lying. I really do not understand why I lie to her when she could read me like a book. “I have been talking for about ten minutes, and you completely zoned out, so stop lying to me,” Belinda said.“Okay, what were you saying?” I asked, somehow sensing that she was yapping about silly things.After talking at length yesterday, I had pleaded with Belinda to spend the night with me. It was my first night in the apartment, and I did not want to sleep alone. Trauma from that small town still haunted me greatly; which was even why I switched off my phone. Thinking about it now, I had
Mr. CEO We're Done! A Smarter Move
Syrus’s POV“Mum, do you have an idea what Bonnie did? Did she tell you? Are you also in on this?” Syrus asked his mother, fuming.He had gotten a worrisome call from the family’s finance officer who expressed his deep concerns about how huge amounts of money was being withdrawn from the family account. First, it was Bonnie, then Syrus, and now Syrus was requesting for another amount of money.Syrus would be really upset if his mother was in on this.“You can at least start by talking first, Syrus,” Nancy demanded authoritatively.Georgia just sat there watching the family drama, and hoping to God that Bonnie would not be forced into mentioning her name, otherwise she would be doomed. This was the only family that she pitched her tent for now.“Bonnie had five thousand dollars wired out of the account, and I demand to know what she used the money for!” Syrus bellowed.“So you refused to answer mum’s question, but you want to force me into answering yours, right?” Bonnie stated stubbor
Mr. CEO We're Done! Far-Fetched From The Truth
Georgia’s POVGeorgia was upset and disappointed at Bonnie for making her waste her time going all the way to that property only to discover that there was no one there.In as much as she would like to, she could not show off her anger and disappointment towards Bonnie. If she didn’t need both mother and daughter to reach her goal, she wouldn’t bother with a dumb head like Bonnie.“Sometimes, being born with a silver spoon just makes them really stupid and silly,” Georgia said to herself, referring to Bonnie. Georgia was not particularly a fan of these rich kids, because half of them were not remotely as smart as she was, and that was because they had everything practically handed over to them in a platter of gold.Georgia arrived at Syrus home, and for the first time, she really hoped that Syrus would not be at home. She did not want to see him, at least not now, and she was still very upset that after that interview, he never bothered to reach her. Instead, he had gone to be the kni
Mr. CEO We're Done! Bittersweet Day
Georgia’s POVGeorgia arrived at home in a lighter mood, because a few minutes after she left Brenda’s apartment, she got a call from Brenda.“Have you changed your mind?” Georgia teased. She already knew the answer, but Georgia just enjoyed toying with her victims.“No, I haven’t,” Brenda responded, and from the sound of her voice on the phone, Georgia could tell that she was still shaken.Very good, just the way Georgia liked it!“I wanted to inform you that the interview video has been deleted completely, and it would never be out in the public,” Brenda said.“How am I certain that this isn’t a lie just so that I would not expose you?” Georgia asked.She was not a fool. In fact, she was way smarter than a bunch of people, and she knew how these things worked, because she had been in the game long enough, which was why she did not even talk about her other blackmail request yet.“Because you have just been crowned our star of the season,” Brenda announced.Georgia could not believe
Mr. CEO We're Done! Circled Coincidence
Vivian’s POVBelinda threw her head back and laughed when I asked her that question.“Belinda, what did you do?” I asked her again, eager to know.“I didn’t do what I wasn’t supposed to do,” Belinda said vaguely, but I was not having it.“What are you talking about?” I asked her, my curiosity nearly overriding me.“Okay, let me give you the full gist, since you are this eager,” Belinda said.“Please do!” I said.We both settled in the bed, holding and hugging each other tightly, yet tenderly. It was as though we had been apart for eternity, and now that we were together again, we were afraid that being slightly apart might make one of us disappear.“That day when I left, I got a call from my clique of friends,”“You have a clique of friends now?” I asked Belinda, slightly jealous. All these years, she was the only one I ever had as a friend, even up till now, so realizing that Belinda got a whole bunch of friends and shared friendship with other people that I was not a part of just g
