One more kiss, Mr. CEO I'm your girlfriend, Derek?
"Are you alright?" Derek's voice called out pulling me out of my thoughts. I turned to him sharply and blinked he turned to me with a worried gaze. Chapter 104 "Yeah, I'm good. Why do you ask?" I asked feigning oblivion. "You seemed lost for a second like something is bothering you," he said as his grip tightened on the steering wheel. He looked straight ahead before looking at me again, the worry in his eyes unhinged. "I'm fine," I said, giving him an assuring smile. I was actually fine in fact and I was determined to have a wonderful night with him, my mind had just drifted off as I sat in the car doing nothing. The car pulled up in front of a fancy restaurant and I turned to Derek giving him a teasing look. "Well, you really went over the top with this one," I said and he gave me a wary smile. "There's something I have to tell you, Zora," he said, his time serious. I turned to him with a raised eyebrow and he cleared his throat nervously. "See the thing is, my friends actual
One more kiss, Mr. CEO The two guys in my life
Chapter 105The sound of the clock clicking every second was all that could be heard in the tranquil atmosphere that rested between Kathy and me as we sat together in the living room.I had just told her about the dinner the night before and she was finding it humourous until I told her how it ended and that's when silence fell."Say something goddammit," I said as I grew tired of the silence. She sighed as she looked up at me. "I mean you can't really be serious about not knowing, it was pretty obvious," she said.I corked an eyebrow. "That's all you have to say? I'm pretty sure if I knew I wouldn't have even gone on a date with him," I snarled. She lifted her hands to signify surrender. "Okay, okay. There's no need to get hostile," she said. I scoffed as I think my head km disbelief. "There's every need to get hostile, why are men like this," I said angrily."Now come on don't do that," she said."Do what?""Go around attributing flaws to men just because some of the ones in your
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Let's still be friends...
Chapter 106I stood in shock as Derek stood at the end of the door smiling nervously. "Can I come in?" He asked. I still stood at the door stuck between letting him in or addressing him there. I wasn't sure if I was ready to talk to him or if I even had anything to say to himBut I knew slamming the door in his face as I did with Elliott was going too far. The atmosphere became thick as we stood there in awkward silence while I still struggled to make up my mind and then Kathy's words came running through my memory about me being more open-minded and giving him a chance.I wasn't sure about giving him a chance. I honestly couldn't see a future where he and I were anything more than just friends and I wondered if that future still existed.I decided however to have an 'open mind'. I sighed and stepped away from the door.He smiled in relief as he walked in and I closed the door then I led him to the living room and offered him a seat. He smiled in appreciation and then he sat. "Do yo
One more kiss, Mr. CEO He is my father...
Chapter 107Elliot's wary gaze shifted from me to Derek and back to me. I tried to remind myself that nothing was going on with me and any of them to trample the guilt I felt.Why did I still feel guilty?I turned back to Derek and gave him a warm smile. "All set?" I asked and he nodded. "Yeah, it's so late already I better be going," he said and I nodded in agreement. He leaned down to hug me and I hugged him back.He let me go and then pushed past Elliott who was now glaring at us. "Call me when you get home," I called out. He turned to me and saluted. "Yes ma'am," he said in a jovial manner before turning back and walking to his car.I returned my gaze to Elliott who was gawking at this point and I stared at him uninterestedly. "What?" I spat. "What?" he asked bewildered. "What was he doing in your place at this hour and why are you guys hugging and promising calls?" he asked. I squeezed my anger as I glared at him."Last I checked Elliott, I was the one in charge of my life," I

Chapter 108. Bright lights, white tiles, steady beeping of EKG machines, distorted noises, empty hallways, screaming. My feet sprinted through the hallways of the hospital in a frenzy, I pushed through the scanty amount of people loitering and ducked moving carts and shelves. My vision blurred by all the tears welling in them, my heart pounding against my chest threatening to tear through my skin, and my throat sore from the screaming.After I'd heard the news and stood still for a while, the news suddenly came rushing back in and I grabbed my hair and yelled in so much pain as I fell to the floor. Elliot caught me and tried to console me but I couldn't see past the pain.I slammed my palms on the counter as I finally reached the reception. "My dad! I need to see my dad!" I yelled. The lady at the counter didn't seem moved by my outburst and it made no sense to me.Why was everyone else so calm when it hurt so much?Why was life so unfair to me?My hands slowly balled into fists as
One more kiss, Mr. CEO His surgery went well...
Chapter 109.I woke up to the scuttling of feet and the beeping of monitors. I heard Elliot's voice from a distance and I just raised my head as my eyes followed the voice.He stood in a corner of the waiting room with his back to me mumbling something into his phone. "Keep the security of this information as tight as possible, we can't let the media publicize this at any cost," I heard him grumble.I shifted on the chair making my purse tumble to the ground and the contents spilling on the floor. He turned to look at me before winding the call and walking back to me, he crouched and joined me to gather the contents of my purse."Sleep well?" he asked and I shrugged in response. "I visited the cafeteria earlier while you were still asleep, they should be here any minute," he said.My eyes widened at his statement. "Earlier! What time is it?" I said as I sprang to my feet, my eyes quickly scanning the clock on the wall behind him. I made to leave when he held me back and I turned to lo

Chapter 110."Oh for fucks sake! I've just about had enough of this fucking bullshit," I groaned as I walked beside Kathy. She hushed me silently and we continued walking.I pushed through the crowd with my eyes hidden behind thick dark shades and my head ducked under a scarf and stealthily tried to avoid the reporters and cameras as I struggled to make my way into the hospital.That kind of attention was the last thing I needed especially at a time like this, I had made the news once again but this time it was more absurd. The news headline read 'BOYFRIEND DRAMA TURNS DEADLY'. I felt my blood boil at the folly of it all. "I swear if I find the reporter behind this I'm going to toss them off a bridge," I said angrily. "Shh, you'll draw attention to yourself, let's get past the lobby first," Kathy said as she led me past the small crowd of reporters that he'd snuck into the hospital.It annoyed me how persistent and mindless the reporters were. Anyone with a small sense of empathy wo
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Happy Family again...
Chapter 111.The next four days after that day had been the slowest and most trying days of my entire life. As Elliot had promised, the news had died down the next day as some other celebrity scandal took my place, the timing was too convenient and I had a hunch that he had staged the whole thing but I never bothered to ask.The firm gave me a week's leave off work without me even having to ask and I was more than grateful. I spent every day at the hospital hoping with every fleeting second that my father would wake up and we could all go back to how things were.I told him about how my days were going, not sparing any detail no matter how boring it seemed. I reminded him how much I missed him and how I was waiting for him to wake up so I could take him to his favorite restaurant. I refused to give up on him even though he showed no signs of improvement, I still stuck with him because I knew deep down he was fighting. Fighting to get back to us. Elliot was by my side throughout, no

EpilogueZora lost track of the fluorescent white bulbs that skipped past her as she lay on the stroller moving at a high speed. She had hoped that keeping count of them would be able to distract her from the pain that throbbed through her entire system. Her eyes were half shut and her throat hurt from screaming so much.She looked around her and studied the crowd of nurses that had gathered around her all pushing the stroller through the hallway of the hospital. She was pregnant, yes, but she knew she wasn’t that heavy so she couldn’t understand why there were so many people blocking her air.She inhaled loudly in a desperate attempt to take in all of the lavender and disinfectant-filled air into her lungs before letting it all out with a loud scream as a new surge of pain rippled through her. She wondered why it was taking them so long to get to the theatre.She reached for Kathy's palm which sat beside her pushing the stroller as well and she squeezed it tightly as the pain continu

Chapter 128.Aaron rolled my suitcase through the airport lounge as we went to check in, the queue wasn’t long so I was able to finish quickly and I dropped off my baggage and collected my boarding pass then he waited for me while we ran through passport control and security clearance and then I returned and we all headed to the waiting area.My flight announcement was called soon after and we all got up from our seats. “That’s our cue,” I said as I turned to Aaron and I could see he was biting back his pain. “Um, so take care you guys and be safe, oh and eat a lot of good food too…” he trailed off and pulled me into a tight hug immediately, I hugged him back and squeezed him gently.“Hey, it’s not even that long you don’t have to be a crybaby,” I teased. “I’m not crying,” he said, his voice cracking. We pulled out from the hug and then he hugged Kathy next.“What! That doesn’t make any sense,” my words flashed through my mind as I watched them. Kathy was already on the airline's we

Chapter 127.I could barely keep my legs straight as I looked at him and I was scared my knees would give in and I'd fall to the ground. I had gone to the wedding with all confidence hoping to say my mind with a straight face and walk out with explosions behind me like I was in some Tom Cruise movie.But as soon as I walked into that room I felt as though my backbone had split and I was leaning on a thin shard, if I wasn’t cautious I would crumble to the ground and it would be an absolute mess. But I knew better than that. I had already crumbled and there were no tears left to cry, but now that I had hit rock bottom I could only go up but I had to cut any strings holding me back for that to happen.And Elliott was a massive fucking chain.He was even more beautiful as he stood there in his black tuxedo and I couldn’t help the envy that crawled at the back of my neck. I would’ve given anything to be in Sharon’s place, but then again that’s not why I was there.I stood up straight as I
One more kiss, Mr. CEO F*ck you, Elliot...
Chapter 126.I stood in front of the mirror with a small smile on my face as I dusted the bottom of my dress. Kathy stood propped at my door frame staring at me warily. I ignored her. I had made up my mind on what I was going to do and I was not interested in what anyone else had to say.If everyone was so bent on me moving on, then they should allow me to do it my way. “This is a crazy idea,” she blurted out, finding it hard to keep a cap on her thoughts any longer. “Kathy, we talked about this,” I said, my eyes still on the mirror.“I know we have but is there seriously no way to talk you out of this? I mean, everything about this is wrong,” she waived. I turned to her and rolled my eyes. “You promised you would respect my decision no matter what it was, saying it's wrong isn’t very respectful don’t you think,” I hissed. “Besides, I kept to my side of the deal. I’m going on the vacation aren’t I?” I added and she heaved a sigh as she rubbed her temples.She was worried and I unde

Chapter 125.I sat on the couch breathing in the coffee-filled air into my nostrils as I held the cup of freshly brewed coffee to my face. There was a calming effect coffee always seemed to have on me and I hated that I couldn’t drink it all the time. It wasn’t like there were any healthier alternatives.It was either that or alcohol.Aaron walked into the sitting room and sat beside me as I finally brought the mood to my lips and slurped loudly. I hummed inwardly as the bitter-sweet taste massaged my taste buds and the warmth reverberated through the walls of my mouth before sliding down my throat. I let out a satisfied breath as I closed my eyes. “Hey sis, can we talk?”Can’t I just have my damn coffee in peace?The past couple of days had been filled with countless pieces of advice and lectures, mostly on my little brother’s part. I knew he cared about me but I couldn’t understand why he was hell-bent on letting Elliott know about the baby and why he refused to understand why I jus

Chapter 124.I rounded up my chores for the day, dusting off surfaces and spraying air fresheners in the different rooms. I was just about to retire to my room and take a rest before heading for the shower when I heard a light tapping on my door. I froze for a moment as I wondered who it could be. Kathy and I hadn’t been getting visitors for a while so I wondered if it was a friend of Aarons.My chest began to beat harder as another possibility crossed my mind. Maybe Elliott had gotten tired of waiting for me to text back and had come to me himself. If that was the case then I was screwed. I wasn’t sure I would be able to successfully keep the truth about me having a baby from him if we got into a heated argument.I shrugged it off immediately, there was still tension in the media, and his marriage to Sharon was still being talked about everywhere. Elliott was a smart man, he wouldn’t risk coming to my place at such a time.Well, there was only one way to find out who was at the door.
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Word would get out...
Chapter 123.At this point in my life, I wasn’t sure I could handle another shocking news.It felt as though I was in a tragic slice-of-life drama and I was the main character. There was absolutely no other explanation as to why amid everything that was going on I stood at the hospital with results from a pregnancy test in my hands.And it read positive.I had gone to the hospital to get a prescription for nausea or fever at most but instead. I found out that there had been a living thing in me for two whole months. My mind flashed back to moments when I had felt dizziness and fatigue but I thought they were from work-related stress or at most the effect of mourning my father in an unhealthy manner for so long.Meanwhile, I was pregnant. I couldn’t even understand my emotions anymore as I stood frozen on a spot while the doctor explained the result with a wide smile on his face. Ordinarily, I would have been happy, no, I still should have been happy no matter the circumstance but the

Chapter 122.Time travel doesn’t exist. That statement felt like a hoax the following days after I met with Elliott. I felt as though I had been plunged right back into the past. A past I had struggled to crawl out from only a few months before, a past that left me devastated and locked up in my room was now replaying in the present.Only this time, there were no flowers or midnight texts, this time I was truly alone. I couldn’t see a future for myself anymore, part of me knew that there was still one for me but how on earth was I supposed to get there after all I’d been through?I’m only human and there’s only so much I could take so why on the earth was the world so unfair to me? Why was I being saddled with more weight than I could lift? What on earth had I ever done to be treated like this? Was it so wrong to fall in love?I missed the old me, strong, independent, self-willed, and determined, and whenever I thought about it I realized that the greatest mistake I had ever made was
