My Beloved The CEO XXXIII
Several weeks have passed since the night of their reveal and not much had changed. Ethan continues working often spending his hours more at the office than at home. During that time Robin has gone back to her work rotating her work and personal life.And of course, thanks to their very public relationship boosted by the picture surfing through the internet of her passed out and carried by her husband, more of her day is filled with curious eyes and paparazzi. However, having Mabel accompany her to and from the office helps ease the stress.However with Ethan's assistant constantly coming by more often than before Robin has grown more suspicious of the cunning woman and the attitude she displays towards her does not help the feeling.As though it was not enough dealing with a deranged maid deluding herself to believe that she and Ethan were destined to be together she now has to face the heated glares of an assistant. And the man responsible for these woman's uncommon sense seems to b
My Beloved The CEO XXXIV
Throwing a file filled with loose papers onto his desk Ethan tiredly took off his suit jacket and laid it over a nearby chair. Rolling up his sleeves to his elbows he loosened his tie and fell back on his chair.It had been a long day and the office was at its busiest. The end of the year function was coming up and more people decided it was the perfect time to come bothering him more than usual. "Mr Acres, if you're not too busy would you mind having a small talk with me over some coffee?"And that included his assistant Amelia. He was fully aware that the woman had an obsession with him and that she had this delusion that someday, somehow they would end up together. It was enough that she sabotaged many of his past relationships, though she did do him a favour with a few of them. He still could not fire her. She was a hard worker and despite her crazy actions she was an excellent assistant and always knew what he wanted. Now, if only the woman was not so insane."Amelia, I've alre

Carrying her up the stairs to their home Robin could not help but hide her face in the crook of Ethan's neck far too ashamed to face the stares they received from all the household workers. "Um, you know you can put me down now. I can walk on my own" "Oh? Who was the one who couldn't get up from the floor not too long ago" Cringing in embarrassment she could do nothing about the blush slowly spreading across her cheeks down to her neck. It was after all true that she could not stand on her own feet back at the office. At that moment she had felt her feet glued to the floors and her head heavy with sullen feelings. Opening the doors to the bedroom he finally put her down. Standing up she left her head hung down, afraid to look at Ethan and perhaps receive a similar look she had gotten from all those employees. A look she was far too familiar with thanks to both her family. "Mind telling me why you were on the floor covered in tomato paste?" "It wasn't tomato paste" Pouting her

"Mable, you waste of space come back here with my broom!" Yelled an irritated Emmy chasing after Mabel who ran with a smirk wider than the grand canyon. He waved his empty hand at her in a mocking manner only angering the red-headed girl more. "Why don't you come here and take it from me?" "Ugh, you're so annoying!" She complained stomping her foot on the ground as a toddler would. Stopping dead in his tracks he looked back at her and grinned in a teasing manner. Holding out his tongue he playfully said to her. "Come on I'm over here! Just come get it yourself" Running over to him she rushed to retrieve her broom only to have Mabel hold it above his head out of her reach and held his hand against her forehead preventing her from getting any closer. "I swear Mabel I'm gonna-" "What the hell are yo

"Mrs Acres, I think you've had quite enough" Commented a very worried Alec at a very drunk Robin. The woman however was not pleased with his remark and instead flipped him off. "Who the hell do you think you are to tell me what to do? You're not my mom, and if you were well, I'd tell you to jump off a cliff!" She slurred hiccupping and stumbling in the room. Alec urged her to take a seat to which she refused. "Huh, I'll go and get you some water" "No!" She yelled out jumping at his feet to stop him from taking another step. Looking up at him with the bottom of her lips puckered out she forced a tear down her cheek. "I don't wanna sober up. Please don't let me drink the holy water" "Mrs Acres, I'm afraid you're too drunk. I'll simply get you a glass of water and help you to bed" "No! I don't want to!" She refused, crossing her arms and puffing her cheeks. Looking at her she looked like a toddler throwing a tantrum. "Mrs Acres-" "And why do you keep calling me Mrs Acres? My

Morning was abrupt and with it came the chirps of birds and the sway of the leaves in the wind. Slowly peeling her eyes open Robin sat up in the large King bed. Cringing at the ache in the side of her head she brought a hand to her temple. Rubbing it she hoped to ease the pain. Noticing a glass and a pill at the side of the bed she reached out for it, swinging her legs off the bed she stopped as she felt a cold breeze hit her bare body. Looking down she saw that she was nude with only her underwear as her only means of clothing. Confused she quickly hid back underneath the sheets at the sound of the bathroom door clicking open. Turning towards the intruder her eyes widened in awe at the view of her husband fully naked without a thing covering him. Amazed by what she saw she could not help but let her eyes wander below his belt. To say she was impressed would be an understatement. "Like what you see?" Her eyes shot up to him only to be met with a smirking Ethan. Embarrassed she l

Coming out of the bathroom face freshly washed Robin made her way to her desk and began her work for the day. She was already tired and the day had yet to start. Her confrontation with Victor was like a hard slap to the face, it filled her with distraught to see the man she once loved reveal his true colours in such a disturbing manner. And the more she thought about their past together the more she wondered how she seemed to be oblivious to all those many red flags. No! She saw them but chose to ignore them. She had given her all to her relationship even sacrificed her finances and all for what? A cheater and a liar? "Here you go boss today's scans with the-woah! What happened to you?" Julian asked with worry in his eyes looking at Robin who dawned deep bags under her eyes as though she had been crying before coming in. He had not seen her like that since the time her ex dumped her on a vacation. "Let me guess, guy trouble?" "How do you seem to always know?" "That's cause I've b

After a long day at work and dealing with errors upon errors Robin was finally home and able to rest and recuperate. Throwing her bag to the side and herself onto the bed she fell face-first onto the soft sheets. Groaning she took out the piece of paper in her coat pocket and stared at it in thought. Having had enough she tucked it away. Pushing herself off the bed she made her way to the walk-in closet and began undressing. Not noticing the creak of the door opening she continued undressing only to stop at the sight of her husband leaning against the doorway, eyeing her with hunger in his eyes. Quickly picking up the dress that fell to the ground to cover herself with it. Unamused with her act he gave her a disapproving look. "Why hide what I've already had the pleasure of seeing?" She grew shy at the comment, blushing she turned to the ground in hopes that it would open up and swallow her. Still, in a debate over

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
My Beloved The CEO XCII
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
