Mr. 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
Mr. CEO We're Done! She Always Finds A Way
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
Mr. 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! Raining Hell & Threats
Vivian’s POV“Is everything okay? Why are you running away from that man?” The taxi driver asked after he had driven me far away from Ken’s reach.He was so smart that he went really fast and took a quick turn, so even if Ken had tried to trail us, it would be difficult for him to do so, even though I did not see his car when I turned and looked at him. I could not bank on that anyway; I was in a haste to escape, so maybe it was there and my eyes just did not catch it.Whatever the case may be, I was grateful that we had escaped him.I opened my mouth to answer him, but Syrus’s voice boomed over the receiver, reminding me that I was still on the phone with him.“Vivian? What is going on?!” He asked frantically.“I am safe now,” was all I could say. “Please text me the address like you said, and I will call you when I get there,” I told Syrus.“Yeah, of course, but I want to stay on the call with you, so that I would be sure that you are fine and safe,” Syrus insisted.“Just send the a
Mr. CEO We're Done! Vivian Is Back
Georgia’s POVGeorgia waited and waited after making payment, and a few minutes later, she got a call from the firm.“Hello, your payment has been confirmed, and the details of your victim have been received. We are proceeding with the investigations immediately, and you should get all the information you need before the end of the day,” the voice rolled out the words like it was rehearsed.Georgia recognized the voice as the same investigator that she spoke with earlier. She was relieved and relaxed.“Now, we will see who runs this city,” Georgia said. She knew that once she got all necessary information needed about the silly ass interviewer, she would definitely know who put her up to what she did to Georgia, and that way, she would be able to have the upper hand in the whole situation. Georgia received the money from Bonnie through a wired network, and directly from her account, so she knew that there was no way Syrus would be able to trace the transfer to her account. She had al
Mr. CEO We're Done! Not A Vale Anymore
Syrus’s POVSyrus almost jumped out of his skin in waiting for Vivian. He tried not to call her every passing second.“This is just because of my babies. I am doing this because of my babies, and nothing more,” Syrus kept telling himself as he paced about.He kept telling himself all that just to ensure that he wasn’t this worried and frantic because he was still into Vivian. Hell no! He was only worried about his babies, which was just very normal, because every sane man would be concerned about the welfare of the woman carrying his child or children, because a healthy mother produces a healthy baby.Syrus’s phone rang, it was Davis. Syrus hissed. This was the same lawyer he asked to find Vivian.“Davis, what?” Syrus asked as he picked the call. “I asked you to get me results before the end of today. Do you have it now?” Syrus asked, knowing that Vivian was safely on his way to him.“I called to apologize for being such a jackass and speaking to you the way I did today. You are my
Mr. CEO We're Done! Known Face
Georgia’s POVGeorgia lingered in the restaurant after Bonnie left. Thankfully, Bonnie had payed for everything, and Georgia ensured that she would not be telling another soul about it, including her mother. She still had a couple of hours on Bonnie’s reservation before she would have to leave, so that would give her enough ample time to think and plan about her next line of action.Georgia called the waitress; she wasn’t satisfied. She didn’t take much when Bonnie was here, because she did not want to come off as hungry, poor, and desperate. Anyway, once she is able to get the necessary information she would use to blackmail the silly interviewer into doing her bidding, she would bounce back financially, or even better. Georgia had a good feeling about this, and she could barely wait.“Is Bonnie’s card still an open one?” Georgia asked the young girl.She remembered clearly that Nancy and Bonnie always left their cards open when they dined here, which means that for the duration of
Mr. CEO We're Done! Still Controlled
Vivian’s POVI arrived at the address that Syrus sent to me and alighted. I paid the driver from my purse, but as I opened my purse, the threat note stared at me in the eyes, making me startle a little, and bringing dread to my entire being. I was able to shake off my dread, gave the driver his money and he sped off.Then I turned and walked towards the house number. Instead of waiting for Syrus to come out and get me after calling him, I simply tried the door and it opened quietly, and I slipped in.I guess I still had bits of the coffee shop and the town in me, because before I found myself there, I wasn’t used to entering rooms without knocking.As I entered quietly, I overhead Syrus talking on the phone, and from the tone and words, I knew immediately that it was his mother, and my guts told me that he was being scolded for bringing me here.“Some things will never change,” I said and Syrus turned to me in shock.“Vivian,” he called out breathlessly. “You are here already. I was w

Mr. CEO We're Done! Each Other's Secret
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
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
