One more kiss, Mr. CEO Drew is fond of you...
Chapter 69At first, we were filled with silence because I resisted the urge to ask the obvious question. We had little talks but Elliot could tell that I had a lot on my mind. I turned to Kathy. "Did you know about this?"She was puzzled. "About what?" I blinked my eyes at Drew. She shrugged. Drew on the other hand was busy enjoying his meal and pretending he wasn't part of the conversation. Elliot chipped in. "I don't think she was aware. I just needed Drew to accompany me." I nodded. Drew broke the silence. "This meal is so nice, babe. " he smiled at Kathy. "I know you prepared this, you've always had good hands."Kathy was trying to stop him but I was too late. My blood was filled with rage. Elliot swallowed a burst of laughter. "I…I didn't prepare the…meal." Kathy stuttered. Drew was confused, I didn't know why he thought he was invited. Kathy pointed at me. "Oh, I'm so sorry Zora. I didn't mean that you do not know how to cook. I just….thought….""Chill, man. You just acc
One more kiss, Mr. CEO I don't like other men seeing you...
Chapter 70We were pretty confused about what to get for lunch. Later we finally decided to get a healthy lunch, with salad as the side dish. Jason was not much of a talker but he gave healthy tips on how to be better since everyone was all about competition. Myra and I were pretty focused on our food when he asked us. "Do you hit the gym from time to time?" Myra and I stared at each other for a while unsure of what to say. "Nope." Myra shook her head. He wasn't impressed. "That's not good, you have to go to the gym at least three times a week. You guys could also have a dumbbell at home so you can have private workouts. It would help you guys in the long run." We both nodded. It was cool that someone was finally putting us through, we didn't seem all that lost. I kept thinking about where I was going to get a dumbbell because that was something I really wanted to try.After lunch, Myea and Jadon reminded me of the party. Going through the tasks of the day, I totally forgot about t
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Happy birthday, Kathy...
Chapter 71I gave him a drink. He reluctantly took it from me, still wearing a frown.I searched for Myra in the crowd but it was a long shot. "I will come back. I'm going to search for Myra."He asked his brows in question. "Myra is the friend I came with." I got lost inside the crowd before he said another word. I was still looking for Myra, but a stranger came to my side wearing a wide smile."Please are you the girl that got involved with the popular billionaire?" I knew what she was talking about but I haven't gone to the media to confirm anything because I didn't want to get involved. Elliot said he would get me out of it which he did. I shook my head and went back to Elliot. He was sipping his wine as I heaved."Are you going okay? What's wrong?" He soothed me, locking his hands around my arm."Let's go home." We went to his car and he drove off immediately. I could feel it but I couldn't find the strength to talk at the moment. When we got to the porch, I thanked him and t
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Getting a personal coach...
Chapter 72The first thing Kathy did after we screamed was hug Drew. "Everyone please settle in, I ordered pizza and it will be here soon." They were all busy having small talks. Drew and Kathy shared a kiss and poured her wine after that. "Come on, get a room, you two."I hissed and pouted. I was not like Kathy, who liked to know every detail about my love life. The alarm bell rang and I quickly went to the door to get the package. I carried the box of cake and several boxes of pizza. Derek came out here to help me with the pizza. I sang for Kathy and dropped the cake on the table, and quickly went to get a knife. Derek came to join me in the kitchen, to get glasses and a bottle of wine. "Thank you. You are a sweetheart." I grinned, leaving him to give Kathy the knife. She held the knife as it was inside the cake and made a wish. She closed her eyes for a bit, made her wish, and blew out the candle. She cut the cake as we clapped for her. Kathy went ahead to cut a big piece of
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Hangout with Bella
Chapter 73I didn't have to work today because it was my day off. I had listed a lot of things to do but they were just little things around the house. I wasn't sure I would be able to step out but I included it anyway. I went downstairs to get a bowl of cereal when my phone buzzed. It was my calendar notifying me I have a coffee outing with Bella. "How the hell did I forget it?" I sighed as I went back to the room with the bowl of cereal in my hands. Kathy rolled over to the edge of the bed, she was staying in and didn't plan to leave the bed either. She started asking me a series of questions."I thought you were going out?""Yes, I am," I replied. "I just want to give breakfast first. I just remembered about getting coffee with Bella today." I put a full spoon of cereal in my mouth. "You are chewing so loud." I ignored her and continued eating. "How about your dad?""I spoke with the doctor recently and he has gained a little mobility. He is capable of eating solid food. He is
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Dad is okay...
Chapter 74My ringtone distracted me from my breakfast. It was the doctor. I remembered that he proposed to call if there was an issue. Is this an issue? I asked myself. I was scared to pick up the call because a thousand scenarios were going through my head."For god sake, pick up the damn phone already. '' Kathy groaned. I answered the phone, keeping quiet trying not to get ahead of myself."Zora, good to finally reach you.""Good morning Doctor. Is my f… father doing alright?" My hands were shaky as I tried to prepare myself for the worst."Oh, yes. I know I said I was going to call you if there are any changes but he is fine. I'm calling for something different." He said from the other end of the phone."Okay, if he is fine then what is it?""He requested to see you. You should just come over and see what he has to say." I replied to him and quickly freshened up, prepared to leave the house."Is he fine?!" Kathy shouted from the living room. "Yes but apparently I have to go to
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Derek and I
Chapter 75Derek came to the house to pick me up, heading to a nice restaurant in no time. I wished there was enough time to prepare but it meant stalling. I was stalling because I had boundaries. Boundaries that I put up ever since Elliot became officially in the picture. On getting to the restaurant, I realized that we had a reservation. He picked a spot close to the window. It was nice because the weather was a bit cold, considering the rough day I had, I needed a bit of fresh air and a nice view. The head of the restaurant, a nice lady, came up to us. I thought she was the waitress. "What can I get you guys? We have a special menu that couples like you guys could try. "My heart skyrocketed. "No no, we are…we are not a couple. We are…ju…just friends." I began. "There is no way we are a couple right, we don't look like one." Derek was quiet but he thinned his lips and allowed me to do the talking. It was awkward because I didn't think I did a good job of explaining who we rea

Chapter 76Zora's POV"I hate the chocolate flavor, Zora," Myra grumbled and I chuckled. "It sucks for real. I tasted it once and I don't ever want to again.""I'm indifferent to it though," I replied, my eyes scanning the magazine on the table. Sharon's picture was boldly on it as she grinned. I gave a low hiss. "I prefer the vanilla flavor."Myra nodded and clicked her fingers together, her eyes brightening as she grinned. "Now you are talking. Just agree that the chocolate flavor tastes bad.""I'm indifferent to it," I repeated and when she groaned and smacked her head, I laughed. "Fine, Myra. It sucks."She grinned again and pulled me up. We walked out of the restaurant and back into the showroom. I waved at a few guys that passed by us and Myra cooed when a blond guy grinned at her. More people were bustling around the company and I remembered Myra telling me that one of the most important brand companies was having a deal with our modeling agency."Did you see that, Zora? Gosh!

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
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Derek had always been there
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
