Mr. CEO We're Done! The New CEO
Syrus’s POVThe moment Syrus dashed out of the apartment, he hurried into his car and sped off. He took out his phone and read through the text message he had received when Vivian was still ranting.“I have found what you hold dear the most, Syrus Vale, and I am going to destroy your world with it.”Syrus could not stop thinking about it. If this was true, then he truly had a lot to be worried about. That singular message brought back Syrus’s dark past that no one knew about, not even his own mother. Years back, a man from the family’s company had visited them uninvited. At first, Nancy had been skeptical about letting them in; since Syrus’s father abandoned her, she became angry and bitter towards everyone that was closely associated with Mr. Vale. At that time, Syrus had just finished college, and was still thinking of what next he would do with himself.“What do you want here, Anderson?” Nancy had asked rudely.Syrus and Bonnie sat beside her on the sofa while Anderson, a senior
Last Updated : 2024-12-07Mr. CEO We're Done! The Need To Step In
Syrus’s POVSyrus was not just shocked, but weak. All his life, he had been told that he would inherit his father’s company. The Vale company was one of the biggest companies in the country, who wouldn’t look forward to taking over? “I don’t understand, Anderson,” Syrus told Anderson.He might be young, but he knew the consequences of what Anderson had just told him.“This wasn’t what you said back home yesterday,” Syrus reminded him, his heart beating rapidly, in case he had forgotten what he said. “I know exactly what I said, Syrus,” Anderson said. “But you don’t expect me to just spill this out to the women, do you? Your mother and sister would not be able to take it like a man would,” Anderson added. “Nancy would literally die, and that would be on me.”Syrus nodded; Anderson was right. Now, Syrus understood Anderson’s words better when he said coming to see him was important when giving him his complimentary card. “Besides, it is not official yet, so the board would have my he
Last Updated : 2024-12-07Mr. CEO We're Done! Sudden Realization
Syrus’s POVOn his way home, Syrus had felt grateful for the timely intervention of Anderson, and for the first time, he had been upset with his father.“You would have ruined things for me and left me with nothing,” Syrus said with clenched teeth. He knew his father was gallivanting around the world with the love of his life, but because they were all still financially catered for financially, he never knew that things were bad, and Syrus was certain that his mother had no idea about this. If not for Anderson, Syrus and his mother would have been disgraced and shamed nationally, and the company would have been handed to someone else completely.On the other hand, Syrus felt cornered. Anderson literally twisted Syrus’s hand, and Syrus, desperate to fix what he was at the brink of losing, agreed without hesitation. Anyway, as long as he did not demand for shares in the company, Syrus felt he could manage things.He looked at the note Anderson scribbled to him with an address. The addr

Vivian’s POVSyrus left me in a state of worry when he left in the manner that he did, and the worse part, I did not even get a confirmation from him as to whether he would give me the money or not.Heck, we didn’t even get to talk about the money at all, and now that he had rushed off like that, only God knows the next time he would show up here, and I don’t even have that time.“What do I do now?” I asked myself. There is really no time. According to what Manny said, the ultimatum was only a couple of days, and then Ted would be killed. My mind’s eye flashed to my dad’s health condition the last time I saw him, and I shivered at the thought of either losing him too, or getting permanently disowned, whereas Syrus would still maintain the unbreakable bond and relationship he shared with his mother and sister.I dialed Syrus’s number, because I did not know what else to do, and the sense of urgency just kept pushing me.“Vivian, now is not the time,” Syrus said gruffly when the call c
Last Updated : 2024-12-08Mr. CEO We're Done! They Meet Again
Syrus’s POVSyrus was almost close to his destination when he ended the call with Vivian. Sometimes, she could really be insensitive and downright naive, and it always pissed him off, just like now.He needed to see Ken; the text message Syrus got from him was too disturbing to waste another minute.Syrus arrived at a hotel somewhere in the city, and judging by the exterior of the hotel, it was quite a discreet place, which was good. The last thing he needed now was to run into someone he knew, or a bloody blogger.He could not afford a bad PR right now.Syrus entered the hotel and went straight to the receptionist.“Good day, sir,” the receptionist greeted warmly. “Welcome to our hotel; how may we be of service to you?” She asked nicely.“I am here to meet up with someone,” Syrus said tightly.He was already feeling sick by the mere thought of seeing Ken after all these years. What had started as a friendly beginning for both of them had turned sour, and Syrus could remember what riv
Last Updated : 2024-12-09Mr. CEO We're Done! I Dare You!
Syrus’s POV“Don’t you dare,” Syrus threatened darkly, the veins on his forehead popping out.Ken threw his head back and laughed mockingly, and this made Syrus more furious. He wanted to grab Ken and strangle him. Ken had always been the prick he had been years ago when he knew him, and now, just like every other time that he had known Ken, Syrus regretted the very day he got to know Ken. “Why all this fuss, huh?” Ken taunted Syrus. “I already touched her. I felt her skin under my fingers,” Ken said, releasing pleasurable moans as he did, and enjoying the rage he saw in Syrus all together. “I put my hands in her body and touched her, maybe in ways that you never did,” Ken continued.“You only did your job as a doctor. Quit this foolery!” Syrus barked.Ken sipped from his small glass of champagne and smiled evilly.“It hurts, doesn’t it?” Ken asked, cocking his eyebrows arrogantly. “You know I was doing way more than my job, Syrus Vale,” Ken said.Syrus closed his eyes as his heart s
Last Updated : 2024-12-09Mr. CEO We're Done! Prank Him
Vivian’s POVThree hours later after Syrus dashed off, I still hadn’t come up with an idea on how to get Syrus back to the apartment, and more importantly, get the money from him. I had tried every possible option and ruled them out almost immediately.“What do I do, my goodness?!” I asked myself, exasperated.I wasn’t used to these kinds of situations, and thinking for hours was beginning to wear me out. Without hesitation, I called Belinda. I know we weren’t exactly on speaking terms, but she was the only person I could think to call in situations like these. Belinda always knew what to do.“If you are calling to apologize, then forget about it,” Belinda said, still sounding upset.“Do you really mean that?” I asked, sounding like a little child and hoping that it would work. It had to work anyway, because this was my only hope.“Yes, I do,” Belinda said. “Work is a little tight now, Vivian; I can’t spend longer time on the phone,” Belinda added hastily.I knew that whether or not B
Last Updated : 2024-12-10Mr. CEO We're Done! Done
Vivian’s POVSyrus stared at me, and it was obvious, just like the sound of his voice, that Syrus was troubled, but I knew that this wasn’t the time to show concern by asking what the problem was.“You lied to me?” Syrus asked, his anger rising to the surface.I opened my mouth to talk; whether it was to explain why I did what I did, or even apologize, I could not exactly tell, but Syrus did not even give me the chance, as he walked over to me menacingly.“What do you think this is, huh? Do you think everything is a joke to you? Why would you tell such a lie?” Syrus asked angrily.“I just wanted you to come, because…” I started talking, but I stopped when I felt pain in my lower abdomen.I winced and held my stomach, and I became frightened when the pain increased. It felt as though the babies were moving, but in a chaotic way that sent shots of pain through my body.Syrus looked at me with a more disgusted expression than a worried one. “What is it?” He asked in a sneer.“Syrus, my s

Mr. CEO We're Done! Back Home
Vivian’s POVAfter I left Belinda’s house, I took a cab and headed for home, because there was nowhere else that I could go to.If I had known that Belinda would turn her back on me, I would not have stubbornly left the apartment Syrus rented for me. I had left in confidence because I was sure that I had a friend and supporter in Belinda.“You have made another awful mistake again,” I scolded myself. “When are you ever going to learn some lessons?” I was feeling like shit, especially now that I was going back to the home and family where I was rejected. I did not want to take the risk of going to another city or town where I knew no one, because the last time I did, I got entrapped in a web of lies and deceit and dreadfulness. I was some months pregnant now, and my stomach was already showing, so it would be dangerous to just venture out on my own.When I arrived at home, I knocked on the door gently, and Manny opened the door.“Vivian,” he said in acknowledgment, but he made no atte
Mr. CEO We're Done! The Accepted Grandchild
Syrus’s POVSyrus almost passed out; the news of Georgia’s pregnancy was all over the internet.“Fast Rising Star - Georgia is pregnant! And guess who the daddy is? Syrus Vale, CEO and heir of the Vale company.”Syrus opened his mouth in shock.“We are so happy!” Nancy said as she and Bonnie exchanged happy smiles. “Finally, a baby with the right woman!” Nancy gushed some more.But Syrus wasn’t listening to his mother, as he continued to read the rest of the story online.“Recall that a while back, there had been speculations about a relationship going on between Georgia and Georgia confirmed that they were dating. Well, apparently, something significant did come out of the relationship this time around, but we are curious; what about Syrus’s first wife?”Syrus was already shaking his head as he read through. “We never came back together!” Syrus stated, his voice hitting the roof.It was as though he desperately wanted his family and the general public to believe him. Then it dawned o
Mr. CEO We're Done! Even Rich Men Can Be Broken
Syrus’s POVSyrus left Vivian’s apartment almost right after.The mistake he made was that he would have followed Vivian immediately she left and insisted on not letting her go, but he had been too stunned by everything that had happened that he wasn’t even acting right at all, and when he had realized that Vivian was truly gone, just a couple of seconds after, he had raced outside, but it seemed as though she had gotten a quick taxi and disappeared.Syrus had tried to run after her, but he didn’t even know the direction she had taken. He was confused. He was agitated, so he decided to call Davis. By all rights, Davis was his lawyer, and he wasn’t even supposed to be dealing with this all by himself. In fact, Syrus was now very upset as he recalled that Davis actually left right after Vivian declared that she was never going to sign the contract.“Wasn’t he supposed to pressure her and make her sign it?” Syrus asked no one in particular.Thinking about it now, Syrus was not even cons
Mr. CEO We're Done! A Stubborn Choice
Vivian’s POV“What do you mean by that?” Syrus asked me as I busied myself with packing the few things my hands could grab. Besides, it was not like I had much anyway.“I believe I was clear enough the first time,” I said angrily.“You are not going anywhere,” Syrus declared firmly.I left what I was doing and turned to him, shocked that he still had the nerve to be throwing orders and instructions at me.“Then leave!” I said. “I just want you to leave, Syrus, because I cannot bear the sight of you right now,” I added angrily.“There is no way I am leaving you in this state, Vivian; it’s too risky,” Syrus objected.“What do you mean by that?” I asked, confused, because I could not understand why he was saying what he just said, and his it aligned with the discussion at hand.“I know you, Vivian. If I leave you here, I might not find you here the next time I get back, and I cannot have that, which is why I wanted you to sign the contract before Georgia came and spoiled everything,” Sy
Mr. CEO We're Done! Leaving Forever
Vivian’s POVI looked at Syrus, shaken, confused, and downright heartbroken.Syrus had been my one and only, and to find out that he had a fiancé was just heartbreaking. My lips had quivered, and it was even a miracle that his phone did not fall from my hand.“What are you doing with my phone?” Syrus had asked instead of answering my question.My breathing had already increased rapidly, and it had felt like my heart was going to either explode or fall into my stomach. My world had literally come crashing down at that moment.“You have a fiancé?” I had repeated, more intensely this time around.My voice had shaken, and Syrus knew this. Tears had also spilled from my eyes.“We are no longer together,” Syrus had answered.Then he had walked up to me and collected his phone. He didn’t seem happy, and I could not tell if his anger was coming from the fact that I had looked through his phone, or something else, but whatever it was, Syrus looked upset which wasn’t fair, because I was the one
Mr. CEO We're Done! The First Lie
Vivian’s POVAfter walking out on Syrus and his lawyer, I stayed in the bedroom, and cried my eyes out.I have been a fool for Syrus, over and over again, but right now, I feel completely foolish and useless.“When are you going to ever learn, Vivian?” I asked myself amidst tears. “When are you going to stop being a fool for him?” I continued to question myself.The fact that we were divorced did not make the pain of his hurt any lighter. Syrus Vale was the first man I ever loved and dated, and up till now, the only man I have ever given my body to, but he had never been completely faithful to me. My family and Belinda were right; I was a fool for believing that a man like Syrus Vale who had seen the world would stay faithful to me. Even though we were two years apart, Syrus was obviously more exposed and experienced than I was, but I didn’t care, because I was deeply in love with him. Maybe if I had cared, I would not be in this situation.My babies deserved a family, not one that i
Mr. CEO We're Done! Her Mother's Biggest Regret
Georgia’s POVEven though Georgia was practically asked to leave the house, she was still giddy with excitement. The announcement plan certainly went exactly the way she wanted it. The shock and hurt was evident in their faces, especially Vivian’s, and Georgia could not have been happier.“I deserve an Oscar for this!” Georgia told herself with pride. As far as she was concerned, she was a good actress, and also, she had been able to steer the entire situation to her favor. Georgia knew that the next person that Vivian would run to was her best friend, but then again, she already had that part sorted out. One thing Georgia had noticed knowing Vivian and Belinda was that Belinda was literally Vivian’s backbone, and in the world of bringing an enemy to the ground, one would have to destroy the backbone first, or keep it at bay, before attacking the main enemy. Georgia hadn’t bothered with Belinda when she made her first strike by having an affair with Syrus, because she knew that they
Mr. CEO We're Done! The Devil's Advocate
Vivian’s POVI had no intention to shed tears, but I could hardly believe what just happened.Georgia was pregnant…for Syrus.We are divorced now, I understand, but that did not make it any less hurtful. I felt my heart shattering into a million pieces. The same woman that Syrus had an affair with, that caused me to divorce him, is now pregnant for him. So they have truly been in a relationship all this time. It wasn’t a new gist, but somehow, I had thought and hoped that it was all a lie. I watched Syrus as he read through the pregnancy result, and from the look on his face, Georgia was truly pregnant. I also noticed the look Georgia gave me; scornful and triumphant, and my heart broke.“It is a good thing your lawyer is here, Syrus, so that he knows that things are legal now,” Georgia said, breaking the silence.Syrus’s lawyer, Davis, stretched his neck and took a look at the result, and he shook his head. “Should we sit down and make things legal?” Georgia asked. “Wait, what?” Sy
Mr. CEO We're Done! Once Is Enough
Georgia’s POVThe shock on everyone’s faces gave Georgia more joy than she ever anticipated.“What…what are you talking about?” Syrus stuttered, utterly stunned.All Syrus’s pomposity and pride deflated, and it was evident in his voice. Georgia absolutely liked that, because it also gave her the chance to walk through all of them into the living room. While they looked at her in shock, she glanced around the living room. Georgia could not deny that it was cozy and luxurious.“So this is the place Syrus got for Vivian,” Georgia said to herself spitefully. Hatred, anger, and bitterness towards Vivian bubbled to the surface, and Georgia had to force herself not to scream. Every time she tried to make Vivian pay, things ended up being in her favor. Syrus had not spent a dime on Georgia ever since she met him; well, aside the first time when they had that wild and abrupt affair, and she only money she got from Syrus was giving her money when he wanted to leave the hotel, which Georgia had
