Stepping out of his car Ethan looked up at his residence before making his way up the stairs and inside. Upon entering he could hear the loud chatter and laughter of ladies coming from the sitting room. Making his way there he stopped at the doorway upon hearing the most beautiful laugh he had ever heard.Peeking around the corner he could see Robin laughing hysterically with the other women in the room. She adorned a pink floral dress that clung to her bosom but was loosely fit on the bottom. A large smile spread over rosy pink lips with a delicate hand held up against her lips. Her index finger slightly touched those soft supple lips.A dark and ugly feeling oozed its way into his heart, painting it black and disgusting. It was unbeknownst to him exactly what that filthy feeling spreading in his chest was but he knew that standing there and watching Robin direct a smile at anyone other than him made this hideous feeling worse.He had never seen her smile that way towards him and he
My Beloved The CEO LXXIV
Ever since her husband's return things between the two have been what could only be described as awkward. Though the man was no longer blatantly avoiding her anymore he also seemed a bit more distant than usual. He no longer teases her as he used to, does not have any small meaningless conversations like they used or incite any invitation to one of their passionate and steamy nights.Blankly stirring her tea with a hand carefully balancing her chin Robin stared off into space. Mabel watched her heave a sigh now and again, unable to sit there and watch her suffer like that anymore he pushed off against one of the steady beams holding up the parasol and made his way to her.Tapping her lightly on the shoulder she jumped in shock unexpecting the sudden physical contact. Mabel stood there also stunned by her reaction. Clearing his throat he collected himself before speaking up."Uhm, I noticed that you have been staring off into blank space lately. Why, what's going on?"He asked with fur

"Aaaand done"Typing the last key on her laptop Robin smiled in triumph happy that she was finished with her work for the day. Raising her hands in a stretch she released the tension in her muscles. Hearing her phone go off as a message entered she felt her heart drop a bit.She did not want to look at the sender or what the message read for if it was who she thought it was, then it would only bring her mood down. Sighing she reached for it before turning her phone upwards. She released a sigh of relief when she saw it was just from Mabel.Opening her phone to read what was written her eyes widened into saucers. Jumping up from her seat causing the chair to roll back behind her she hastily grabbed her handbag, keys and jacket before running out of the office to the elevator. In her haste, she failed to notice someone heading her way resulting in them bumping into one another.Falling to the ground she profusely apologised to her colleague whilst picking up her things from the ground a

Ever since getting locked in the room with Ethan their relationship changed for the better and though she hated to admit it, it was thanks to Mabel that the two could reconcile and work things out. Even though his method was a bit unorthodox. And now that she and Ethan were no longer avoiding each other or anything of the sort they were doing better with communicating things to each other. Things seemed to be going well and Robin was beginning to relax once again.If only that lasted.Looking down at her phone she reread the message over and over to make sure she did not misinterpret anything. Once satisfied that she truly was not mistaken with the words the text read she could feel her heart race and the palms of her hand become clammy as sweat procured. Noticing her vision turn blurry she crashed down on her chair to catch her breath. It was after ten o'clock in the morning on a weekend which meant she was alone in the office. She had wanted to come in on an off day to tie up some

Twirling the peas on her plate Robin sat in her chair with her elbow resting on the table and head leaning against her hand. She stared off into space with a blank look occasionally sighing here and there. Noticing her distressed state Ethan placed his utensil to the side and turned to her."Are you alright? You've been sighing an awful lot lately""Huh? Oh, yeah I'm okay"She blurted fixing her posture before reaching for her glass of wine. bringing it to her lips she took a small sip before placing the glass back down on the table. Ethan's eyes squinted in concern as he watched her chew the bottom of her lip. A habit of hers he had learned signified her nervousness."Are you sure you're okay?""Yes, of course. Why wouldn't I?""Well, cause you keep biting on your lower lip"hearing him say that she immediately stops her assault on her lip and looks down at her food like a kid caught with their hand in the cookie jar."And I know you only do that when you're nervous about something"

With the arrival of our food I thanked the waiter and looked down at my meal suddenly grown without an appetite. Damien on the other hand seemed famished as he placed his napkin neatly on his lap, picking up his fork and knife with elegance and poise he cut into his steak. "Are you going to eat or just stare at me the whole night" Embarrassed that she was caught starring Robin cleared her throat, reaching for her glass of wine she nearly downed the whole thing before growing serious again. "Are we going to get down to business yet or what?" "Have you tried the roasted asparagus? They're exquisite" "Yes, I know they are but can we talk about that later?" "How?" "What?" "How can you know they taste good when you have yet to try them?" Quirking an irritated brow she scoffed at the man. She was far from impressed with his constant avoidance in the subject of their meeting. Growing impatient Robin sat straight in her seat throwing one leg over the other she leered at him through he

Stumbling her way inside the house Robin held onto a table in the passageway for support. Hearing the commotion going on Ethan walked out of his office to see what was happening only to be appalled by the sight of his wife drunkenly stumbling along the corridor. "You seem like you could use some help"He worded out leaning against the doorway with his arms crossed. Her head whipped up at him and she broke into a wide smile."Oh, would you look at that? It's a handsome guy!"Quirking a questioning brow he watched in light amusement as Robin struggled to keep steady on her feet."You know you, you look really handsome.""Is that so?"Nodding her head with her eyes closed she let out a small hiccup. It took everything in him not to burst out in laughter. Smirking at her compromising situation Robin noticed the coy expression he had on."Wha-What are you laughing at?"She slurred. Shaking his head he shrugged his shoulders in answer but that only seemed to bother her more."You, you were

Stepping out of a silver Rolls-Royce Phantom Ethan buttoned up his suit jacket before holding a hand out for his wife to take. With her purse clutched to her side Robin took her husband's hand and made her way off the vehicle. Standing next to him she wrapped her arm around his. Dressed in an ivory slit dress she matched it with stud earrings and an ivory purse. Her husband was well dressed in a suit of the same colour with the cuffs being silver just like her earrings. The pair elegantly made their way up the red-carpeted stairs into the large mansion. Though Robin knew that the event was something that had to do with her husband's work she had no idea exactly what was the cause of it all. Ethan on the other hand was listening with anticipation as he had been waiting for this day for the longest time. And though he knew coming to the home of McGuire was the same as entering enemy territory he was prepared for anything. Subtle music could be heard as the two entered the home a

Climbing a mechanic staircase, Robin winced with each step. After her discharge from the hospital, she was made to take physical therapy since she had been lying in bed for so long. It was a bit odd for her to be relearning how to walk at her age, but she needed to get back to who she was before."Alright, Mrs Acres. That is it for today. You did a great job"Her trainer complimented ending the session. Smiling at him with relief she could not be happier to be finished. "Thank you, Seb. Especially for coming all the way here"Unstraping the belt around her waist she threw it aside before placing her hands on her waist in exhaustion. "That is no problem at all. Besides, who else can brag about being in the infamous house of the Ethan Acres? I'll be telling this story for generations"Laughing at the joke she held a hand up to her lips. While the two were busy laughing they did not notice someone else entering the room. "I see you two are enjoying yourselves"Surprised at the voice t

Walking through the familiar large door Robin looked back at the man helping her up the stairs. His expression was somewhat solemn and dare she assume sad. She had no idea just what went on during the past three months of her hospitalisation for him to have a drastic change. Though he had always shown kindness towards her, these days it seemed that he was being extra cautious and caring. Like the time he peeled her orange for her, or when he was constantly asking if she needed anything during their ride home. They were little things and yet they seemed so sweet. What took the cake was when he brought her a bouquet of her favourite flowers, daisies. Out of all the gifts she had received while at the hospital, his was the best of them all. Recalling the gesture she smiled to herself. As they made their way to the bedroom, Robin turned to the left side where her room was. "Where are you going?"Ethan asked with a scowl. She looked up at him in confusion before answering with the most

Groaning awake her eyes fluttered open. Blinking away the fuzzy cloud over her eyes she tried to bring her hand over to help relieve the strain in her eyes, but something prevented her from doing so. Looking over at her hand she saw a larger, much rougher hand desperately clinging to hers. Looking up to the owner of the hands she froze at the full, head of dark hair sitting atop the bed. Although his face was out of view she easily recognized the man. That familiar warmth his hand brought, the large frame hunched over with slow steep breaths rising and falling at each breath he took. How could she ever forget the man she fell so in love with?She sat that for a while just staring at his hair, a small smile hovering on her lips. She had no idea just how much time had passed but it did not matter to her. She could spend years just watching him sleep and would feel satisfied with that alone.Noticing his shoulders shake awake she remained still, only observing the way his muscles moved.

"Oh, my dear little flower!"In rushed a worried Jen with arms out wide in a hug. Opening her arms to welcome the embrace the two held onto each other. Breaking from the comfort Robin smiled up at her."Madame Pourrie, thank you for coming"A tired yet happy Robin said to the well-dressed woman. She wore a large fur coat with a frilling top and a tight long skirt, topped with a top hat tilted to the side. Robin chuckled to herself at the older woman. who else other than the Madame would dress in such a fancy manner?"Pish, posh child did I not tell you to stop calling me that?"She reprimanded the dark-haired woman, slapping her on the arm forgetting she was an active patient. "Madame! She's a sick patient. You can't just hit her like that!"Laurelyn yelled at the former lady as she rushed into the room before pushing her aside to tend to Robin. Gazing down at the poor young woman in her bed she gave her a look of concern as she rubbed her arm where the Madame hit her."Oh, my apolo

It's dark. I feel cold. My body feels heavy as if it's floating in the dark abyss of the ocean. What is this feeling? This lonely, stuffy feeling. I feel like I'm forgetting something. Or was it someone? Why can't I move my fingers, or wiggle my toes? Why can't I open my lips to speak? Ah, my eyes are heavy, I can't open them. Just... What is this?"I should have listened to you"Who is that? "Robin, please wake up. It's all my fault"Who is this person and why does their voice sound so familiar?"I'm so sorry."What are they sorry for? Do I know this person? "Even if you don't forgive me, I'll do whatever it takes for you to forgive me. Just please wake up"Forgive them? What could they have done that is deserving of my forgiveness? And what did they mean I should wake up? "Please, Robin."Wait, I feel like I know them somehow. The way they call my name, that low tone, that sends shivers done my spine. Wait, I think I know this person. What was their name again? Oh, I think it wa

Blankly looking up at the man before him for what felt like hours, Damien finally snapped out of his daze and without missing a note burst out laughing."Pfft, hahaha! Oh wow, to think it would be you of all people. What an unexpected turn of events"He spoke with a smirk as tears lined the corner of his eyes. To say he was surprised would be a lie, he had a hunch the very person who was retelling him of his offence in such leisure could be none other than the very husband of the woman he had wronged."Well, damn. Although I am a bit surprised at this I can't say I didn't see it coming. I mean, I'd also be jealous if my wife went out to meet her ex in a private setting like a restaurant."He grinned up at the male staring down at him. And that is all Ethan did, stare with a blank face. There was no sign of any emotion written on his face nor could there be any anger felt in the room. If anything he seemed calm and unbothered by Damien's taunting words. A bit too calm.But that did not

The septic smell of pure alcohol and medicine was so potent it could easily make one drowsy. Making his way past the white walls and waiting area with seats filled to the brim of patients waiting for their turn, a tired Alec stopped in front of a sickeningly white door. To his right written in bold black letters was a name tag. Mrs Acres.He sighed dropping his head to the floor before heaving a large breath. Raising his head he braced himself as he lifted a hand to the door.From the inside of the room, the sound of a gentle yet firm knock could be heard. The foreign sound is a contrast to the silent beeps of the monitor."Come in"Upon hearing the command Alec entered the room. Closing the door behind him the man orderly placed his hands in front. The bright yellow file in his hand stood out from the interior white walls. Everything inside seemed so artificial as though it was not even real, everything except the man sitting beside the bed, hunched over a small frame that laid still

Driving down the city streets the bright city lights flashed by like shooting stars. The different lights blurred together at the speed Ethan drove, making it seem like one was in the middle of a rainbow. Behind the wheel, the man knit his brows together in worry. Immediately after hearing about Robin's accident he hurriedly made his way down his car and drove without hesitance. It was as if his body moved on its own as before he knew it he was already behind the wheel and on the road. "Come on, get out of the way!"He growled at the driver ahead of him repeatedly beeping for them to speed up or get out of his way. His head was muddled up with all sorts of thoughts running through his head. His heart was racing faster than a horse on a race track and his mind could hardly keep up. At the hospital, a team of nurses rushed an injured and concussed Robin down to the operating room. Her eyes were bloodied and unfocused she could only make out the outlines of people surrounding her and

With his face to the side, a stinging sensation made its way through his cheek. He looked at Robin who only glared up at him with tears in her eyes before storming out of the room and slamming the door shut. with a hand on his cheek, he flexed his jaw to ease the sting in his cheek. Groaning in irritation he leaned back on his desk. Running a hand through his hair he swept the stray locks back only for them to slowly fall back over his forehead. Sighing he looked back to his tablet. Grabbing it he began going over the files Alec had gotten him about Damien.According to his findings, the man was a convicted felon with multiple charges of assault, robbery, breaking and entering. This guy had so many charges going as far as being caught selling drugs and being involved with some nasty people in the underworld. It seemed that he and Robin use to be in a relationship some years ago but it ended when he disappeared with some of her money. For some reason or another, he was back in the c
