Mr. CEO We're Done! You Messed Things Up!
Syrus’s POVSyrus went back to his office, leaving strict warnings to his secretary not to let anyone into his office.Then Syrus soaked himself in grief.Vivian’s father had hit him where it hurt the most. Syrus remembered the first time he had realized his father’s absence; he had eavesdropped on his parent’s argument without his knowledge.“Are you going to keep doing this?! What about Syrus and Bonnie? How do I keep making excuses for you?!” Nancy had yelled at Syrus’s extremely absent father.Growing up, Syrus had barely seen his father. He and Bonnie only saw him once a year, or twice if he was being generous to them. “I don’t care what you want to tell them, Nancy!” His father had bellowed angrily.Syrus had been shocked and hurt. Their mother had told them constantly that their father could not attend their school parties, prom, school games, birthdays, because he was extremely busy with building the company, and she had made them understand that it was necessary that their f
Mr. CEO We're Done! He Knows A Lot More
Vivian’s POVAs I sat across from Ken on the table, I asked myself how I got entangled in all of these.“Would you like some cheese and eggs?” Ken asked with a smile. “They are definitely good for you, especially for the babies,” Ken said, and without waiting for my response, he turned to the waitress standing by and said, “Kindly get two plates of cheese and eggs, and lukewarm glasses of water for us.”“Coming right up,” she said and left.Ken turned to me. “Does she remind you of Jane?” He asked.I shook my head, unwilling to indulge in the conversation. The last thing I wanted was to be here with Doctor Ken, having lunch. Surprisingly, Lori had come to me with a flowing gown that had rose petals all over, and yapping about Ken, her cousin.“I am so delighted that Ken seems to have developed some sort of interest in you,” Lori had said as she pushed the dress gently to me. “He has been way too single for long, and that needs to change,” she had said with a girly giggle. It was the f
Mr. CEO We're Done! An Evil Encounter
Vivian’s POVIt was as though I was dreaming, because what kind of conversation was I having with my supposed doctor? How did I get into this mess? I definitely did not do anything to deserve this! All I had done had been to get registered just like every other pregnant woman, so this just doesn’t make any sense to me.“What do you know about me?” I asked, my heart beating rapidly. Somehow, I was scared of what Ken would say. I know I had met a couple of tricky and bad people; Georgia was one of them, but this was on a different level, and to think that I just walked right into it.“I know that you are the ex-wife of Syrus Vale, who is still very much alive,” Ken divulged.My mouth fell open in shock.“How did you know?” I asked Ken, shocked to my very core. This was a random meeting, not planned, right? Lori could not have set me up like this. She did not strike me as someone who was capable of doing such, besides, she had given me a harmless recommendation, so how did Ken know? “I
Mr. CEO We're Done! A Challenge
Georgia’s POVGeorgia waited for Jessica to arrive before she would leave for her interview. It was in two hour’s time, and if Jessica made it to her hotel room in time, then she would be able to meet up with her appointment.Georgia had been staying in the hotel discreetly since she left Syrus’s house. She did not want to return to her aggrieved and bitter mother, because she knew that somehow, her mother would know that her ploy to get Syrus in bed again was futile.But thankfully, she had Syrus’s mother’s so she really does not need her mother’s negative energy. However, Georgia was gradually running low on cash.“Thank goodness for this interview that I have been able to secure,” Georgia told herself. This was a big show, and after she was done, she would be paid a handsome fee; that was what basically excited Georgia, not that she gave a damn about the bloody show. Once she gets her fee, she would be able to pay for a few more days at the hotel, while she also lobbied for anothe
Mr. CEO We're Done! Trapped
Vivian’s POVI returned to the room restless, agitated, and more disoriented.I thought of avoiding Ken, but I could only achieve that when I leave the town, and that would be highly impossible seeing that Jane’s death is still under thorough investigation.I was desperate to know how Ken got to find out secrets about me, because he refused to divulge. I wasn’t even answering Syrus’s name, so did his investigation lead him to Syrus? There were questions running through my head that I needed answers to. Questions like why did Ken pick me out of all his patients to get close to. He was an attractive, good-looking young man who could get any woman he wanted, so why me, a pregnant, lonely woman who waits tables at a small coffee shop?I left my room and went over to the coffee shop. Deep down, I had the feeling that Lori was involved in all of these. Deep down, I knew that Lori knew something, because she was the one who directed me to her so-called cousin’s hospital. She had also been th
Mr. CEO We're Done! Turned Down
Georgia’s POVGeorgia paced around her hotel room as she dialed Syrus’s cell number over and over again. She needed to do something really fast, otherwise this juicy deal would slip through her fingers, and on the other hand, if she is dropped by the show, the whole world would know, and it would be disastrous for her.“Pick your damn phone, Syrus!” Georgia yelled in frustration, almost smashing her phone on the wall. She was growing increasingly frustrated, because she had little or no time. If she could not get Syrus to join her in the interview as her partner, just as she had labeled him to be, then she would be dropped like a piece of old meat.And if that happens, Georgia’s career, the same one she had built with blood and sweat would take a downward turn, and that would be the end of her, and her godforsaken mother would laugh her to ruin.Georgia would rather die than let that happen,She continued to dial Syrus’s number. “Please, Syrus, pick up the phone!” Georgia begged eve
Mr. CEO We're Done! Ruined
Georgia’s POV“Excuse me, but my money only expired a few hours ago,” Georgia said, her heart pounding slightly.This was obviously not good at all, because she did not have a dime with her, and this could get dirty if it ever gets out.“According to the policy of our hotel, you are either to renew payment or face eviction thirty minutes after expiry, and Miss Georgia, you have way exceeded that limit,” one of them said.“Can you give me a couple of minutes? I promise to pay up,” Georgia pleaded, even though she did not have anyone in mind that would give her any money, but she just needed them to give her some space so that she could think and act fast.This was certainly not good for her career.If Georgia knew that they upheld such a strict policy, she would not have lodged here in the first place. When Georgia moved into the hotel some days back, and she had been given their policy booklet to read, she had only flipped through without actually reading it, because she had felt that
Mr. CEO We're Done! Unbeatable In Her Game
Georgia’s POV“Ma’am, you need to leave the premises,” one of the hotel managers said, bringing Georgia out of her thoughts.She really had to do something, and she was trying to think of what to do really fast, because these people were not bluffing, and they might throw her out at any moment. Should Georgia go out there like this, the bloggers would eat her up mercilessly.“Ugh, my head!” Georgia threw her hand to her head, feigning a migraine.“What is it?” One of the managers asked, concern masking his voice. “Is everything okay?”Instead of answering, Georgia acted as though she was suffering from dizziness as a result of the migraine and she staggered backwards, almost collapsing to the ground, but one of the security guards swung into action immediately. He grabbed Georgia gently before she could fall to the ground and led her to the couch at the reception.“Get her some painkillers and water!” One of the hotel managers barked.The others dispersed immediately, rushing to get

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
