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

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

Georgia’s POVGeorgia stayed hidden in that spot and watched everything play out. She had planned everything with Adrian, but she needed to be sure that nothing was going to go wrong. Georgia watched Bonnie give Adrian a side look, and she raised her nose up.“All of you from wealthy homes are always looking down on people at first look,” Georgia said to herself in disdain.She was familiar with that kind of look all too well, because when she was trying to make her way to the top, she faced a lot of criticism from wealthy and influential people. Georgia also knew that if she wasn’t where she was now, Bonnie would not give her a first look at all.“Well, all that is about to change,” Georgia said as she paid attention to the pair. She arranged it in such a way that made her hear everything they were talking about.“I am waiting on someone, and you are in her seat,” Bonnie said in her rich, proud, and sophisticated voice that made Georgia want to drag off all the wealth and influence

Vivian’s POVI had been fuming with anger since I left my home. How could Manny suggest something as outrageous as that? Why would he even think that I would want to collect such a huge amount of money from Syrus.I got into the apartment and slammed the door angrily. I grabbed a bottle of water from the kitchen first to calm my thirst, but it did nothing to quell the anger deep inside of me. It was bad enough that they were already treating me as the black sheep of the family, and now, they want to guilt-trip me into this.I called Belinda on the phone immediately. I knew she was at work and probably busy, but if I did not talk to anyone, I might explode, and Belinda was the only one I could talk to. Belinda picked at the first ring, making me super relieved.“Girl, you do realize that I am at work, right?” Belinda said in her light nature, as always. “Do you want me to order that breakfast now?” She asked.“I am sorry, Bel, but I just needed to talk to someone,” I said, and now that
Last Updated : 2024-11-25Mr. CEO We're Done! Meeting The Witch
Vivian’s POV“Mrs. Nancy Vale,” I said breathlessly.I wasn’t particularly expecting anyone, but definitely not Syrus’s uptight, sophisticated, condescending and downright blunt mother. Without even asking if she was welcome in or acknowledging that at least I said her name in exchange for a polite greeting, she shoved me off the door and sashayed into the apartment, her exotic and expensive cologne lingering in the air.I stood by the door, frozen in shock, and maybe a little bit of fright. Since I divorced Syrus and moved out of their house, I completely stopped thinking about her and her cruelty and hostility towards me, until now, everything just came rushing back, especially the first day I met her.“Where are you taking me today, Syrus?” I had asked, giggling happily as I rode with Syrus in his brand new car.He had insisted that he wanted to see me, so as usual, I went out of the house with the constant lie that I had something to do at Belinda’s house.“Do you want to guess?”

Vivian’s POVI froze at the sound of her cold and harsh words to me. It was the first time I was hearing her voice, and those were the words that came out of her mouth.I opened my eyes in the apartment now and turned around to face my reality. “How did you find this place?” I asked her as I turned and saw her looking around the apartment.“Why can’t you leave my family alone?” Nancy turned to me and asked, her eyes as cold as ice.“I have divorced Syrus,” I reminded Nancy, refusing to feel intimidated by her presence and words.When I was still married to Syrus, I tolerated every trash they threw at me, because I desperately wanted to make things work. I desperately wanted to be accepting and feel the sense of belonging, because I had neglected my family, and I had never lived without the presence, love, and joy of being around a family. But now that we were divorced, I realized that I did not need to accommodate any of her hostility. In fact, I realized that right after the divorce

Syrus’s POV“Yes, please have all of those delivered to the address I attached to the purchases,” Syrus said over the phone. He had just ordered a few things for Vivian; some of the things that would make her comfortable for now, and this time around, he was paying with his personal funds. He did not want to have to deal with anyone policing him about his finances, especially his mother.Syrus was still troubled about the huge sum of money Bonnie moved from the family account. This was the first time that she was doing something like that, and he was even more surprised that his mother took her side, or was she in on it too? He never got to know.“What in the heavens did she use that money for?” Syrus asked himself, greatly troubled. “What could she have needed it for?” He pondered.He was beginning to develop a mild headache as a result of trying to understand why she would do something like that, because Bonnie was well catered for. In fact, she had everything she needed, and all t
Last Updated : 2024-12-02Mr. CEO We're Done! A Big No
Vivian’s POVWhen I heard the doorbell ring later that evening, I jerked in shock. Did Nancy return to continue with her threats and harsh words?I just sat there, contemplating. It was early evening, and I doubted anyone else would be visiting. Besides, I didn’t have any friends, and the only friend I had was Belinda. It couldn’t be Manny, because he did not know that I lived here. It couldn’t be Syrus; since the last time I told him to leave, he hadn’t returned or even called, and he would probably be nose deep into work right now, so my best guess was Nancy. She probably forgot to throw in a few more threats and punching words, and she decided to return to say them. Yes, Nancy Vale was petty like that.So I just sat there, contemplating while the doorbell continued to ring, although I already concluded somewhere in my mind that I did not want to let her in. Perhaps, if she continued that way, the neighbors would alert the cops on her, because she was threatening the peace of the e

Mr. CEO We're Done! She Finally Got The Remedy!
Georgia’s POV“Things are always just effortlessly working out for me!” Georgia said in excitement.She didn’t even need to find a doctor that would do what she wanted to do; Ken had promised to help her through it, unlike her former doctor who was preaching honesty.“Well, maybe it is because I have labored too hard to get to where I am now, and everything is just falling into place now,” Georgia continued.She and Ken had spent about two extra hours making plans, and she could hardly believe that she was getting everything sorted out. All she needed to do now was find a way to fix the pregnancy test thing with Syrus, and then she would be able to get him to make things official with Syrus.Georgia couldn’t wait!The pregnancy solution wasn’t the only thing that kept Georgia in cloud nine since Ken left. The fact that she had his secret in her palm now made her very gleeful. Now, she could very well twist Syrus’s hand into doing her bidding, because from what she gathered with her co
Mr. CEO We're Done! A Chance At Bonding
Syrus’s POVSyrus got home, more exhausted than he had been. He was able to get Davis out of his hair. He already knew that he would not be able to tell anyone about what he was going through, and at the same time, he still hadn’t been able to come up with how to get the truth about what happened years ago with the Frenchman.“If only Anderson was kind enough to just tell me how to go about it easily without the hassles,” Syrus said to himself. He knew that Anderson would tell him if it was in his right to do so, but that did not change the fact that he wished Anderson had the solution to his problem, because there was no one else who knew about his past except Anderson, and of course, the slimy, sneaky Ken.Syrus got into the living room, and he was reminded of how he left the house and the issue with his mother. The living room seemed quiet and serene, and Syrus was hoping that he could just sneak into his bedroom and hide until the next day when he would leave for work, because h
Mr. CEO We're Done! A New Team
Georgia’s POV“Tell me everything I need to know,” Georgia said to Ken.She could barely contain her glee for this useful information. Before now, Georgia had wished that she knew something ugly and dirty about Syrus, his family, or the family’s company, so that should Syrus make an attempt to leave her after his family had publicly paraded her as their chosen daughter-in-law, she would have something to hold them by. She had tried to find something, but nothing was forthcoming. Albeit, Georgia just knew that there had to be something. She had been in this game long enough to know the ways of wealthy and powerful men, and she just knew…“At what cost?” Ken asked.Georgia was taken aback. He came to her willingly with information and claims that they had something in common, and now he was seeking something in return?Georgia scoffed. “So it’s now scratching my back, I scratch yours now? I never asked for this, Doctor Ken. You showed up at my house unannounced demanding for something i
Mr. CEO We're Done! Dirty Game
Georgia’s POV“What are you talking about?” Georgia asked Ken. “What common thing could we possibly have?” Georgia asked him.Ken walked around the living room slowly instead, gazing around and taking in the beauty and luxury of her living room, making Georgia slightly uncomfortable, and she began to wonder if she hadn’t made a mistake letting him in.“You haven’t answered my question,” Georgia said as she began to think quickly about what she could possibly lay her hands on with immediate alacrity, knowing that the tale about having emergency number on speed dial and working cameras were lies.“I will answer it, but I think we need to get to know each other better,” Ken said as his hand carefully caressed Georgia’s leather couch. “Your interior is breathtaking. I must commend that you have an eye for good taste,” Ken complimented slowly.He was gradually bidding his time and slowly building the bridge. He knew what he came here to accomplish, and he also knew that the only way to go
Mr. CEO We're Done! Something In Common
Georgia’s POVGeorgia knew that she could not hide away from the Vale’s family. Actually, she even had no intentions to hide; she wanted to be a part of the family fully, for stability, fame, money, and power. Georgia just needed to get some of her things fixed up at the moment.When she got mistakenly hit and the call ended, Brenda did not call her back to even apologize for the way she spoke to Georgia.“I am going to teach her a lesson she will never forget,” Georgia told herself.She had a meeting at the show later that week, and she intended to deal thoroughly with Brenda. Georgia was already on her way to the top, and she intended to use her power to the fullest. When she was struggling to get to the top, she was treated harshly and cruelly by wealthy and powerful people. Now that it was getting to Georgia’s turn, she intended to be just as ruthless and merciless to those beneath her, or more.Georgia was interrupted when she heard a knock on her door. She had been back from h
Mr. CEO We're Done! Unsaved
Syrus’s POV“Excuse me, Mr. Syrus, your lawyer is here to see you,” Syrus’s secretary informed him.“But I don’t have any appointment with him,” Syrus said.“Should I tell him to book an appointment for another day?” His secretary asked him.“Just send him in,” Syrus said. What was the point of asking Davis to leave when he had already gotten to his office.Syrus arrived at work earlier than most of his staff members, because after his mother pushed him out of her room, he just went into his bathroom, got dressed, and left the house. Besides, he also needed to show up at work and continue with his job. He hadn’t come to the company since the scandal, and he knew that he could not run away forever, or just wait around for Ken to drop the bomb that would explode his life. Since Syrus got to the office, he had hardly done anything, because his mind had been reeling with different thoughts. He was more confused than ever before; Anderson would not tell him what he needed to hear, and his
Mr. CEO We're Done! An Unlikely Meeting
Georgia’s POVGeorgia arrived back in town late last night using a VIP flight, and she had just gone over to her apartment and had a good rest.The tour had lasted for only a few days, although Georgia had wished that she had stayed longer, maybe like a week, because the thought of coming back to face Syrus and his demand was just something she was not in the mood to handle right now.Pictures and videos from her tours had been circulating the internet, and while on tour, Georgia had gotten a call from an equally high class TV show wanting to strike a contract, which came with TV shows and a tour to four different countries, along with juicy incentives and publicity. The money they offered was something that Georgia had never been offered before, and she almost screamed her head off after the call.“I am a fucking rich star!” Georgia has squealed in her hotel room.Then she had ordered the most expensive wine in the hotel, bills on the TV show of course, and she had celebrated her suc
Mr. CEO We're Done! Feeling Of Betrayal
Syrus’s POVAs I drove back home, I could not help but ponder on the words of Anderson. I tried to get him to tell me what he meant, but he kept insisting that I should meet my mum.“She is the right person to tell you all you need to know,” Anderson had said tiredly. “It is not in my place, because your father made me swear not to tell you.”Syrus wasn’t even thinking about his father, because he had stopped seeing him as his father years ago. He was more concerned about what his mother knew that she wasn’t telling him. Syrus was certain that he knew everything that happened between his parents. He eavesdropped. He overheard, so what else could possibly have happened that he didn’t know about? Syrus could remember his father coldly telling his mother that he was done with the marriage. Syrus could also remember the sound of his mother’s hurting voice, and her plea for him to leave his mistress and focus on his family, but he had been adamant. Syrus’s father had slammed the door and n
Mr. CEO We're Done! The Real Enemy
Vivian’s POVI still could not get over the shock of what Marie said to me about Mr. Vale reaching out to Syrus and Bonnie without getting a response at all. All these years, from what I got to know about Syrus and his family, their father never made an attempt to reach out to them after their parents got divorced. In fact, he had practically abandoned them, but now, Marie had just given me the side to the story that I never knew existed. I knew I shouldn’t take all her words for it simply because she was a kind woman. A woman in love could practically cook up lies just to make her out as the better woman. Any wife who was being cheated on would be mad as hell; I was a perfect example. After what Syrus did to me, there was no way I wouldn’t be cross with him. I had even decided to keep the triplets to myself, so I totally understood the grievances of Nancy, even though she was a mean and callous woman to me. Anyway, Marie didn’t get the chance to continue because I had to get regis
