One more kiss, Mr. CEO "The billionaire"
Chapter 39Everything felt dreamy. I could hear laughter and chatty voices from the sitting room. I half opened my eyes and itched them for a bit, adjusting my sight to the blinding lights. I staggered to the living room, following the sound of the voices. I began to panic because there was someone else in the house, it was strange that someone would come this early to the house. It wasn't just strange, it was suspicious.On getting to the living room, I knew I heard Kathy's voice, she was being all chatty with Aaron this early. I wondered how they got up so early and still had the chance to be all over each other. Aaron had been with us for two days now. It was something I needed to get used to because it used to be just Kathy and me. I groaned and stretched my hands over to the back of my neck. It felt like I woke up from the wrong angle of the bed. I checked the clock that was hanging on the wall and groaned knowing I needed to get ready for work. I went back to the bedroom and
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Unexpected guest
Chapter 40Aaron brought out wine from the fridge. We were all drinking but mildly. I realized that any time I sensed alcohol around me for a while, I cringed because I remember the night out with Bella and Derek. It led to some unforeseen circumstances. I had kept the stuff he bought for me in my room but I worried that all of it felt suspicious. I turned to Aaron, "What exactly happened?""How was work?" He knew what I was asking about but he chose to not answer. He poured me another drink before I could hesitate. "Nothing much."I never bought Elliot's story about being in the area. He specifically wanted to come here, to show up unannounced. He sat there quietly just staring around for some time then going back to scrolling on his phone. "I don't buy your story, Elliot, "I said. "Why exactly are you here?" "Why didn't you tell me that your brother was around?" He was turning the table because he didn't want to show off the real reason. They were both keeping something from me.
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Out with Aaron
Chapter 41Breakfast was the most serene. The conversation of last night was still lingering in my mind. I still haven't told him about Dad's condition. If I did then he wouldn't be happy with me. That I am certain of. I stayed up throughout the night thinking about it. Mostly too about the idiotic attitude of that handsome man, who pissed me off. Why don't I have the heart to resent him and send him out of my life?I knew the answer to that but I was too proud to admit it. It was too heavy for me to do that to myself. If I do not admit anything then it wouldn't hurt. Then, it hurt just as much. We were having avocado spread and omelets for breakfast. Kathy was the first to speak. "I think Aaron is going to turn each one of us into a vegetarian. I mean, they are good but then I would really need lots of calories."We all laughed. "That's how he does back at home. I remember how he made us eat his food without any of those carbs. I drank those weird smoothies for a whole week."Sit
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Not your decision to make, Zora
Chapter 42"It is already a new week. Honestly, I cannot imagine why time has to fly so fast." I muttered to myself. We have finally agreed to see my father and Aaron still doesn't know the state of his health. He had been asking a lot of questions and I just smiled through, giving monosyllabic answers to them.I wanted the weekend to be slower, so I would have to prepare myself mentally for this moment. I didn't think it would have to be soon, I thought he would be better by now. He was still in a coma and has been responding well to treatment according to the doctors. I couldn't wait for this phase to be over. For him to come home and be fine. I remember going through some success stories of people who have fought cancer. I prayed and hoped that we would be one of those people.A message popped on my phone, and it was Mrs. Lane."You can take the rest of the day off. No need to come in to work today, it won't affect your salary." I had already given an excuse that I would be coming
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Brothers love their sisters, no matter what...
Chapter 43If anyone saw me they would definitely say that I was losing it. That was because I actually was losing it. The pain I felt throughout the night wasn't somewhat familiar but it was difficult to pull through because I was thinking about everything that happened so hard that I cried myself to sleep.I didn't know when Kathy came in last night, I was just sinking in my own troubles to know when she arrived. "I'm just going to approach him and apologize, how hard can it be," I said to myself.I was heaving. There was this fear that was eating me from inside, it was tugging at my sleeves till my hands wouldn't stop twitching. The pain was heavy but not more than what Aaron was feeling. "I feel terrible…but he can't stay mad at me forever." I squeezed my red eyes as I stared at my bloated face in the mirror. "Aaron…I'm so…" sighed. "Fuck this!" It has been three days and he hasn't said a word to me. What's even more painful was that he hadn't even had dinner or lunch with us
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Aaron is still pissed...
Chapter 44I didn't know what hurt more. The fact that Aaron found and shamed me for it or that we were having breakfast with this heavy silence hovering above us. Aaron was still very pissed at me and I couldn't bring myself to tell him the truth. Telling anyone breaches the contract and I didn't want that until I found a way around it.We continued to eat in silence and my brother was so focused on his food that he didn't even bother to steal a glance. I sighed and ate what I could."Would both of you tell me what's going on?" Kathy sighed. "I mean, the house is so cold and it's making me uncomfortable."Aaron was about to stand up and go to his room with his plate. "Nah, you don't have any fucking right to do that." She stopped him."Not when I want to find answers to what has been going on, then you feel you can opt out of the conversation? Nah, not on my watch. Both of you, do you hear me? Not on my watch.""Kathy you are worrying over nothing, we are cool.""Yes, we are cool. No
One more kiss, Mr. CEO A full-grown man
Chapter 45 First, it was the sobbing and the anger that followed afterward. I was so flushed with anger, I punched the door. Aaron rushed out of his room staring at me concerned. I was glad that he still held those for me "What's going on?" "Nothing." "Come on, are you really going to do this?" He asked. I paused in my tracks and sighed. "Okay, since you are so eager to know. Imagine that you are the main character of a stupid girlish cartoon, and she has no reason to keep malice with you." "Huh?" I knew he was confused but I didn't stick around to find out about the details of his confusion. I dashed into my room and banged the door. I was breathing heavily this time, I needed to calm down. I carefully sat on the floor as I remembered everything again. Did I say too much? Was I too rude? Was I harsh to him? How is he feeling? All of these questions continued to disturb me. "It wasn't a nice thing to do." I thought Then, why should I put him in consideration when he had no
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Your lips...
Chapter 46I was filled with so much happiness. For the first time in a long while I slept without thinking too much about anything. My mind was free and I'm glad that we resolved everything. The morning was a peaceful one and we had breakfast as usual, this time it wasn't in silence. We had fun and Aaron was back to treating us like vegetarians.I got to work and I was still to hear the news of the new workers. The one that Bella talked about recently. Deep down I was scared because I didn't know how I was going to get another job, that was paying this much. I wasn't the type to rely on someone just because they were being generous with their money. I prayed that it turned out well in the end. I carried a tray to serve these young couples who looked like siblings. They were having these different views and it was obvious that one cared but the other didn't care as much. It started when they were choosing their meals, the guy seemed adamant about it. He kept saying things like,"You

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
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Lies...
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
One more kiss, Mr. CEO I wasn't okay... I was far from it...
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
