My Beloved The CEO XXIV
"I would remove the black paint all over the house and instead leave the bricks bare, giving the exterior a more English castle feel. Then I'd replace the black and dark curtains with brighter ones, perhaps a bright and vibrant violet. I'd leave the stairs as is since I like how they give a sort of out-of-space experience. Next would be the portraits, I mean seriously who still hangs black and white photos in this day and age?" "They are vintage pieces and are actually from my mother. She thought the place looked a bit too grim and putting some paintings and portraits would liven things up a bit." "Huh, well I agree on the grim part" Walking around the table to sit on the seat across from her Ethan removed her feet off the chair only for him to place them on his lap. Blushing at what he did Robin tried to remove them but instead was refused as the man pulled them back onto his lap. "You might believe it's grim but that is how I have lived my life up until now" "What do you mean b

Following her husband, they made their way back into the mansion and upon entering an annoyingly high-pitched voice interrupted the peaceful silence between them. Looking over to where that forsaken shrill came from Robin sighed already fed up with the ginger head. "Mr Acres, I-I'm back from my parents' house and fully prepared to be working here again" Emmy chimed with hearts in her eyes. Her rude attitude and detested face were nowhere in sight and that was evidence enough for Robin to figure out exactly the kind of sly fox she was. "I also came back with lots of treats I think you might like. Oh, and if you don't mind giving me some feedback on the cookies I baked that would be great! You could even share some with me and tell me your thoughts right there and then!" She babbled on stepping twirling a strand of her hair around her finger in a suggestive way completely ignoring Robin's presence. "Oh, and my mother says hello and would like to meet you when you're not busy of co

Driving back to his workplace he wondered why he wanted to rush back home earlier. Nothing happened between them this time and yet he was already yearning to touch her. Is that why he was feeling so restless because he was not able to do anything to her?Whatever the reason was, did not change the fact that he still craved the taste of her lips. Leaning against the window he watched the outside world with a sullen look and slowly closed his eyes.Walking around the estate Robin found herself once again lost. Hoping to run into someone like the last time she was in such a situation she paced the empty halls occasionally running into a few miniature statues and paintings of the same woman over and over again. One painting, in particular, caught her eye. It was of the same woman she kept seeing in the other ones but she looked different in this one. Though the young lady was gorgeous with long wavy locks that framed perfectly high cheekbones, bright green eyes as glamorous as an emerald

"Aww, I wish you had let them go on a little bit longer"Robin whined crossing her arms with a disappointed look on her face. Alec chuckled at her childish request while cleaning Mabel who sat on a chair of his wounds. The fight was a good one and had gotten worse the longer they were left to deal with their issues. Though Robin had convinced the older man to let them fight it out for a bit more he was forced to step in when Mabel picked up a chair."I also wish he had let us carry on. I was planning on throwing her through the window"He half-joked with a sinister smirk but it was soon wiped off his face by Alec who dapped his cheek with a cotton ball dipped in hydrogen peroxide."Ow, that hurts uncle""Then stop moving so much""Hmph"Puffing his cheeks to show his dissatisfaction with his uncle, Alec simply rolled his eyes and continued treating his wounds."By the way what were you two fighting over this time?""This time?"Robin questioned the dark head man wondering just how oft
My Beloved The CEO XXVIII
Slamming her hand over the red hair's mouth to stop her screaming Robin looked at the girl with a weirded-out expression."What the fuck are you doing in here?"She angrily asked, slapping her hand away from her mouth Emmy gave her an equal look and exclaimed with anger."What am I doing, what are you doing?""This is my bedroom""No, this is Mr Acres' bedroom and you aren't supposed to be here"Is this bitch for real? Cause if so I'm about to smack the hell outta her."Listen, I don't know what delusional medication you're on but it needs to stop. This is my husband and I's room. If you don't believe me then go and take a peak at the closet, my stuff is in there.""Well, even if your clothes might be in there it still doesn't prove anything"She said matter of factly pouting her red lipstick-lined lips crossing her arms and looking to the side in a bratty pose. Quirking an irritated brow at her Robin rubbed her temples trying to ease her growing anger."Ok, can you just leave then?"
My Beloved The CEO XXIX
Morning arrived and somehow during the night, Robin found sleep even with her pressed against Ethan throughout the night.Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes she opened them accompanied by a yawn. Looking to Ethan's side she noticed that the man was already gone. Sighing to herself to threw off her blankets and hung her legs over the bed.Stretching her body out a satisfactory pop made her limp in ecstasy. Noticing a red note placed on her side of the bed on the side table.Reaching for the note she flipped it open and read to herself.Leslie will be here shortly to accompany you to a hairstylist. I have also left my card behind, use it at your discretion. And if you don't feel well call Alec immediately he will come to pick you up.E. A.Anyone with eyes and common sense could tell that the note was simply to convey a simple message and yet to Robin it meant much more than that.She could not help but be touched that the man was concerned about her health, even if it was only because s

When dinner was over and they had filled their stomachs Leslie was escorted back to his home and Robin safely arrived at the mansion."Wow, that was some day.""It was hell if that's what you meant"Mabel argued still carrying a ton of bags that needed to be put in her room."Oh, come on you enjoyed it too. At least when we all got to taste test tons of treats. Not to mention the dinner you definitely enjoyed that"She pointed out making her way up the stairs and following after the grumpy boy."Yeah, okay maybe I enjoyed some of it""That a boy!"Smacking his behind he flinched and looked back at her with a confused look. Waving him off she rushed him up the stairs and to her room."Come on we don't have all day""Excuse me? I just got harassed and

Waiting for Ethan to get dressed Robin took a deep breath in an attempt to ease her nerves. Fiddling with her fingers she began chewing at her lips as a million thoughts raced through her mind. "You should stop doing that" All of a sudden Ethan spoke lifting her head by the chin and using a finger to release her pink-dressed lips from between her pearly whites. Gasping at the surprise attack she gazed up at him not uttering a word. As though a spell was cast over her she was unable to move from his touch. Staring down at her he leaned down at her level. Quickly she squeezed her eyes shut, expecting a kiss from the man she was taken aback when she felt the slither of a thin chain wrap itself around her neck. Looking down to see what it was she nearly gasped at the sight of the jewellery. A small emerald stone carved into the shape of a diamond laid inside a black casing that wrapped around it and thus shaped into a black glass crystal. It was absolutely beautiful. "Wow, it's so

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
