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! Nothing Is The Same
Vivian’s POVI walked briskly to work, more pissed than I had been when I left Dan’s apartment. How dare Syrus insinuate that I was a loosed woman? He would never see me as anyone else other than what he thinks of me, and it made my stomach churn in annoyance. Every time I thought I could tolerate the excesses of Syrus, he just went ahead and exceeded my expectations.I got to work way earlier than I used to and I stopped short when I saw Manny standing outside, waiting for me.I sighed and walked up to him after I had gotten over the shock of seeing him there. “Don’t tell me you are also here to scold me,” I said to Manny.“We have been worried about you,” he said instead, ignoring my earlier statement.By ‘we’, I knew Ted was not included, but I let it slide. Manny had a worried expression on his face and it made me worried as well.“Is everything okay?” I asked.“Is it okay to talk here?” Manny asked me.We were still standing outside the office and in a few minutes time, staff wou
Mr. CEO We're Done! Terrible Revelation
Vivian’s POV“What are you talking about?!” I asked Manny, my voice shaking with fear and dread. I just knew that for Manny to be like this, something was awfully wrong. He always knew how to hold things together, and with Manny around, we were barely worried about anything, but as he sat across from me, he looked dejected and shaken, and he looked dreadfully scared out of his mind.Manny shook his head.“Please, Manny, I know you all always wanted to protect me while going up, which was why you all kept some sensitive details away from me, but I am a grown woman now. In a few months, I would even be a mother, so you have to tell me what is going on,” I urged Manny.“Dad wants to protect your emotions at all cost. He doesn’t want you in the know, or according to him, he does not want you worrying your pretty little head about our mess,”“Look at me, Manny, I am not a freaking baby!” I said, my voice rising uncomfortably loud and drawing the attention of the workers who were setting t
Mr. CEO We're Done! Fired
Vivian’s POVManny and I just looked at each other, unable to speak.I was stupefied. My head was spinning and my world was going round. What on earth is Manny talking about?“He is very dangerous, Vivian, and until his money is paid in full, Ted is doomed,” Manny was the first to recover his voice. “There is a whole lot of issues going on that you never knew, Vivian, but now is a lot worse, because Ted is on the run from this bad man,” Manny said sadly.“Oh my goodness, I had no idea. I am so sorry that I have been unavailable all this time,” I apologized with tears streaming down my cheeks. I knew that they would probably have hidden it from me like they always did, but then again, if I hadn’t chosen Syrus, then dad would never have suffered a heart attack, and Ted would never have involved himself in something as terrible as this.The whole thing sounded so unreal and deadly to me, because the Ted I knew growing up with was a good boy that stayed out of trouble. The one person I kn
Mr. CEO We're Done! The Bad Ex-Wife
Vivian’s POVI thought my world would come crashing down instantly. Dan refused to look at me, which even made the situation a more confusing one for me, because I did not understand what was going on. That morning, we had talked, and even laughed about the headlines.So what went wrong?As I walked out of the office, I decided to take a walk instead of taking a bus; I didn’t have a place to go to even begin with. Belinda was still out of town and Ted was still upset with me. I tried to call Manny, but his number went to voicemail.“Shit!” I cursed. “Things just keeps getting worse for me,” I said sadly.As I walked slowly through the city on the pedestrian road, my mind kept going towards different directions in thoughts, not particularly settling on any thought, but aside my present predicament, one of the things that bothered me was Ted’s issues. I know Manny’s explanation about the whole situation was minor, compared to what was actually going on. They were always hidings things f
Mr. CEO We're Done! Clear Your Name
Syrus’s POVSyrus paced about angrily. He removed his tie and flung it across his office, angry and frustrated. The media was going wild with all sorts of comments about the headline that popped up that morning. What even annoyed Syrus was the fact that Vivian did not bother to deny the fact.Syrus could recall vividly the happy look on the man’s face when he had answered his door bell; it was the look of a man who had had a wonderful night.“She divorced me only to be screwing her fucking manager who cannot even measure up to me!” Syrus bellowed to no one in particular.The man was nowhere close to Syrus in wealth, fame, and looks, yet, Vivian had chosen to humiliate him with such a man.“She asked for a divorce, and I granted it to her. She dragged me to court on account of seeing me with Georgia, and I freaking paid for that. I have been up and doing in the antenatal process of our babies, but none of that is sufficient for Vivian,” Syrus said to himself angrily.His anger was boil
Mr. CEO We're Done! Press Release
Vivian’s POV“You have to tell me where you are headed, ma’am,” the cab driver said. He was growing annoyed and impatient, because for fifteen minutes now, I have been unable to tell him where I would be stopping. He had been acting like a perfect gentleman by not forcing me out of his cab, but I continued to stare at him; I did not have a place to go. Until now, I still hadn’t come up with a solution to my problem of being stranded.“Are you homeless?” He eventually asked.“Yes, I am,” I answered truthfully, tears gathering in my eyes.This was the worst situation I had ever been in, and it made me ashamed and lonely. Never in my entire existence did I ever think that I would be this stranded.“That is so sad,” the driver said sympathetically, “But you do know that you cannot remain in my cab, right? I have to go to work. I have a family to feed and take care of,” he said.He was right; making him suffer with me was not fair. “I am sorry,” I said and opened the door to get out of h

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
