Jessica

It was a lazy Friday afternoon, working hours were almost over when Tyler stepped into my office and finally reveal his big plan for our honeymoon.

After saying yes to all the wedding planning details with his mom, I was looking forward to what Tyler has planned for our honeymoon. Luckily his mom's plans for the wedding was to my liking and the wedding planner read my personality well and she ticked all my preference to all the finest details.

"We're going where?"

"Around the world, I was thinking twelve maximum thirteen months. We can start from down under, the best way I always say," the CEO looked at me with a smug smile on his face which only accentuates his handsomeness making my heart beats just a little bit faster as he said down under.

Damn the man...

"You can't be serious? we can't just take one year off work?"

    TylerI was a nervous wreck, I still couldn't grasp the feeling that she will be my wife in less than an hour. I shouldn't have taken Larry's invitation for a late hour drink with him saying that it's my last night as a bachelor and that we should at least drink to that.Knowing Larry, he was having another fight with Gemma, I couldn't say no to him. But come morning I was still a bit light-headed and mom had been asking me if I was having second thoughts."What? no! don't be ridiculous mom, of course, I'm not, I love her.""Okay, but you need to sober up, she doesn't need you hangover on her wedding day," she said as she patted my tux and make sure I look presentable."Oh, Tyler...I'm so proud of you. I love you, but I'm going to hunt you down if you ever hurt her. Remember that, okay?"I smiled at her and gave her my warmest hug. "I won't mom, I promised

    JessicaWhen Troy died in jail, I thought all of my troubles would be gone but turns out I was in for a more dreadful one.It has been months since the company was struggling, I have been working all day and night but the impact seemed very little. Every month I kept on firing people and did more budget cuts just to keep the company afloat."Jessica, you should consider their offer. We can't keep on firing our employees," my assistant Kayleigh has been pushing me again with the new contract from the Richardson worldwide enterprise.But I just look at her and keep on scrolling on the Excel sheets trying to find ways to minimize our cost. Though I understand cutting costs is just a temporary solution, in my mind, I was already considering signing their contract."Look, Aaron is here I think he's trying to get back to you..."I sighed knowing I don't have tim

    TylerIt took us almost an hour to reach her family home after a quick stop at Barney's to pick up our takeout dinner. And I was shocked to find that she was living alone in the two stories mansion.I've read her file, her parents had passed away, her brother was jailed for spousal abuse and died there not long ago. Her family was known for her brother's scandal and the company was suffering because of the neglect and mismanagement.It was an easy fix and I was needing her company for an expansion project that me and my brother Larry was doing."Let's eat first, and we will talk about work later."I have never found a woman with such determination before, she's very thin and pale and strangely still looked beautiful. I was quick to open the door for her while carrying our dinner with my other hand.She was moving methodically turning all the lights in her

  • My CEO, My Temptation   3. The Other Brother

    JessicaThat night I struggle to sleep in my bed and the nightmare came just like they always do.Since my first nightmare I've never bothered to sleep in my pajamas, and that was how that night I went to bed in my working attire thinking it was too dark to change.The same old excuse. I was quick to hide under my blanket just like my usual coward self and then woke up with a panic attack. My heart was beating so fast and the deafening silence was suffocating me to the point that I was breathing heavily.I tried to calm myself down, but I was teary and my hands were shaking. It was two in the morning, though I know it was too late to get back to the office. But I panicked looking at the dark corner of my room, and that's when I decide to grab my things and took a taxi back to the office."Mam, did you left something at the office?" the security g

  • My CEO, My Temptation   4. Busy Day

    TylerIt was ten in the evening when I arrived back from work. Larry was smoking his cigar on the back porch when I remembered seeing Jessica's reddening hand and her awkward gesture of how she kept on hiding her hand. "What happened to her hand?""Hello big brother, take a seat, have a cigar, tell me about your day?" Larry smirked but answered my question seconds later."...her assistant said that Jessica accidentally touched the hot coffee plate, she was surprised by her when she was refilling her tumbler." He puffed out the smoke and crossed his legs while he looked out at the beautiful starry night."She is a bit jumpy, don't you think?"Larry shrugged at my question, telling me that he hadn't known her long enough to give any opinion on her traits. "She said that you took her home yesterday? insisted on having business dinner...""Jessica is...I feel like she was hiding something. I was trying to find out more before today's signing.""And what did you find?""She likes sleeping

    JessicaIt was six o'clock when Kayleigh stopped by my office, she's giving me reports before she goes back home."You wouldn't believe the day I've had.""Yeah? I thought you'd like it here." She smirked, nudging her head to the office beside me."Oh my god, Kayleigh...I missed you so much. When are you mine?""Oh, shit Jess, you just made me feel so giddy on the inside." She giggled while digging through her extra-large purse and pulled out my sandwich dinner."So, is he okay with you staying the night here?""I think he's too busy with his PA to noticed.""Really? hmm...I didn't tag him as that kind of boss." She shrugged and showed me a few paperwork that needed my signature.I relaxed back to my seat and start eating my sandwich while listening to Kayleigh telling me about her day assisting Larry from

    Tyler"Just take your time. I'll call Kayleigh if I need anything, the next couple of days will be about the transition. I will need your best game when we start with the re-launch.""Re-launch?""Yeah, branding, I will have people from marketing, we will meet them and discuss more."She sounded nervous when I call to check up on her. She was taking the day off and I was thankful that I didn't have to push her to take it. From our last meet, I learned that she's a far more complicated person than she appeared to be.I ended the call when Elsie entered my office, last night we had our usual encounter. We would meet once a week sometimes more, she has been conveniently available for me. Though lately she's been getting too clingy and I know Larry would mock me once I need to transfer her to another department, just to end things between us."Is that her agai

    Tyler"So how was the visit?" mom asked the moment Jessica was busy talking to dad about one of her clients who turn out to be one of his friends from college."Pretty bad, but as expected. That was why we postponed this dinner.""It's okay, I understand. Hopefully, it'll be all happy experience from now on. You better treat her right, Tyler. She had enough bad ones already." Mom hugged me and told me to go keep her company while she finishes up with the dinner preparation."I will mom, you know I will." I kissed her cheek before leaving mom so she can go back to instructing the chef and his little crew back in the kitchen area.My feet brought me to dad's side where I join in on their conversation. "Son... Jessica here is a keeper. I told you, didn't I? have you thought about the little Tuscany villa I mentioned last week?""Dad, not now..." I whispered h

    JessicaVisiting Kayleigh was making me nervous, I had it planned in my head. I thought it'll be easy, but I didn't expect the pounding in my chest as we reached the lobby of the psychiatric hospital.His driver opened the door for me, and Tyler hold out his hand and helped me out of the car."Your hands are cold, you're feeling nervous?" his voice soft as he took my hand to the crook of his arm."A bit," I laced my fingers with his, trying to take in the warmth, the comfort of his love then I decided to take off my ring and give it to him right there and then."Just in case I forget."Tyler nodded and kissed my temple softly, whispering that it'll all be okay and that he'll be there for me.It didn't take long before the man I recognized as Kayleigh's doctor walk towards us then greeted us, saying that Kayleigh has been expecting me.

    JessicaA month after Kayleigh was admitted to the hospital I told Tyler that I wanted to see her again."Remember the last time you were there?" Tyler was being straight protective of me and didn't like where our conversation was going."I do, but she was my best friend for years and she did somehow help me cope with the aftereffect from my abusive brother. I just need to see her, even if it might be my last time. I need to close that chapter of my life,"He knows my implication by saying my past as the dark chapter, the memories that I don't want to revisit. He knows I needed the closure."Let me call her doctor, your meeting will be supervised. I'm not risking you being hurt again.""Thank you,""Jess, you know I'll do anything for you. Now eat, we'll leave in half an hour."I smiled at him and continue eating my omelet

    TylerA couple of days ago, I was more than a bit shocked when I find Jessica was having lunch and laughing freely with Elsie."I'm not sure I like you making friends with my ex," kissing the nape of her neck, I pulled her back flat to my front."What, why? I'm having coffee with her later this afternoon." She turned to face me and wrapped her arms around my shoulder pulling me lower for a deep sexy kiss. Jessica was looking beautiful in my t-shirt and her lacy panties and nothing else.It was our lazy Saturday morning thing, I love spending hours cozying up with her in the penthouse, and sharing my weekend time with someone else was a thing that I'm not willing to part. I'd have her locked in my basement if have one, that's how possessive I was of my fiancée."Seriously? but this is our weekend, I even move mom's thing to Monday. You know she hated that, and

    Jessica"You know you don't have to flaunt your thing, right? I get that he's madly in love with you." The voluptuous assistant said as she kept her eyes on my engagement ring."Elsie, thank you for helping me out."It was one of that mid-week office madness. My new PA decided that it's a good time for him to have a meltdown and be the drama queen and leave me to my office affairs. He was my third PA after Kayleigh, and I'm not sure I'll be getting her replacement anytime soon.That morning Elsie had been helping me out because Tyler was out on a meeting across town and won't be coming in until later that afternoon. He was attending another big emergency after Larry decided to have a day off probably having his sexual adventures with one of his women."Thank you again, for helping me out.""It's the least I can do after what happened to you."
