One more kiss, Mr. CEO Kathy is two-timing?
Chapter 51I locked the door, stood by it, and rested my head backward. I breathed out deeply, a bit too excited although I wasn't sure why. It made me think why anybody does drugs when you can just overdose with so much joy and excitement. It was still a cool Saturday, but the reality that Aaron was going to be leaving for school soon, hit me. We decided to see Dad one more time before he goes. Ever since we agreed on it, he has been quiet. It felt awkward but then I really didn't know what to say. Where should I start comforting him? Knowing Dad's critical condition, it pained him that he was going to be far away from him. I'm here with Dad, which means that Aaron was going to be breathing on my neck with several phone calls. That was beside the point, he wouldn't get to just see him like he used to and always be constantly worried. I guess I have too many people to worry about. We stepped out of the house and got to the bus station. Because we were still very hungry, we got a
One more kiss, Mr. CEO I don't feel it with her, I feel it with you..
Chapter 53I came downstairs and waited for him. Kathy gave me a weird look."Come on, if you have anything to say just say it.""Nah, I do not." She slurped her tea.The doorbell rang, and I knew who it was already. I grabbed my clutch from the chair and hurried to the door. I saw him dressed simply. He wore light blue long sleeves-and black trousers. His hands were in his pocket and I tucked my hands in his arm as he smiled at me. We got to the car, his driver was standing at the door, then he held out the door for us to get in. When I looked closer, I saw his face. Drew."Why is he here?" I thought.***The memory of Kathy and Drew filled my head. I kept flipping pages of them together. Was he aware that Kathy had a boyfriend? Since she was still trying to figure out how to let go of one, it would be difficult for him to notice. Then, I was confused about his intentions for her. Does he really like her or was he just as arrogant as his friend here?I was still fixated on my thoug
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Confused...
Chapter 54I was staring directly into his eyes, the affection that he kept for me was gleaming in his eyes. It was heavy with sincerity."Zora, I have fallen in love with you. You don't have to worry about my attitude, we are now in a proper relationship and I am going to act like it. Losing you is something I cannot handle, I will do anything to make sure you feel safe in my arms too, to feel loved, seen, and heard."I was too stunned to speak. I tried to make sense of it all, it felt like time stopped. I know we were not in a dream but it was dreamy. I didn't think I would be so close to hearing him speak that way to me. For the first time in a long while, it meant so much. I was still light, paused and all my emotions have been retrieved from time. "I…I…am…"He smiled. "You don't have to give your reply now, take some time to think about it. If anything, I am a very patient man. You don't have to worry about giving me that answer right away, I just told you how I felt."He shuffl
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Applying for jobs...
Chapter 55I have been sitting behind this desk, with my head buried in my laptop screen, typing. Typing one email after the other. It was taking longer than usual. I didn't know I was going to be filling out so many forms. The door creaked, "What are you doing?" I turned my head to look at him, he was holding the doorknob and his eyes were focused on what I was doing."I'm applying for jobs, I'm tired of my current job. They don't pay much and the bills are getting longer." He tucked his hands into each other and leaned on the desk opposite me. "That's new. What job are you applying for?" "Modeling. Just looking at a few agencies that are hiring." He smirked. "What is it? Why are you staring at me like that?""You have the body and the interest. I would kill to get your body for my agency. You should go for it." He grinned. "It's always been your dream."I sank in relief. It was the nicest thing my brother ever said to me. "Thank you." I continued typing, he wasn't done talking
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Date again?
Chapter 56I really would not know how to begin, if I really wanted to tell him the truth. I was done thinking about everything but my insides were still heavy with all the unending questions, I was finding it hard to concentrate. I was a hot mess. I gripped the edge of the dresser as I stared at myself in the mirror. "Get a hold of yourself, Zora." I had nowhere in particular on my mind but I just wanted to drive aimlessly, while spending some quality time with him. The gentle beginning of my new relationship with him, that was all that mattered to me. I heard a subtle knock on the door. I saw Aaron in the mirror. "What is it? Why are you staring from that angle."He tucked his arms into each other. "Nothing, I'm just trying to understand what is happening in this house?" Confusion was visible on my face. "What do you mean?" "You are about to leave the house to God knows where Kathy is downstairs trying to be in the conversation but her mind and soul aren't in her body. It feels
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Dad is getting better...
Chapter 57"Can you be fast?" I talked to Aaron. He was still getting ready which was pretty annoying. I had already decided that we were going to the hospital before. I couldn't imagine that he was wasting my time, on top of all of that."Calm down. It's not like they are going to close the hospital if we don't get there on time."I threw my hands dramatically in the air. "Can't believe you right now. The hospital follows a protocol and if we don't see him during visiting hours, we won't be allowed to see him throughout the day. That's pretty much the only way we can see him." I yelled back at him. I bounced on the couch in tiredness. I dressed casually since it wasn't exactly a nice occasion that got me excited. All I could think about was the appointment I had later in the day. Aaron seemed to be into his own business that he wasn't thinking of anyone else other than himself."I will join you in a minute." I stood up to get some cookies in the cookie jar. It lay idly on the dinin
One more kiss, Mr. CEO The interview...
Chapter 58The building was so big that it had too many floors. I was still in the elevator trying to not be nervous. It wasn't helping that much because I ended up overthinking every one of my decisions.The elevator dinged and hissed open, I stepped out of it slowly. The floor was a big one with so many offices, the directions still echoed in my head. "The conference room opposite the elevator." There was another reception and several cubicles, with people working behind their desks. Chill air blew over me as I walked the passageway, void of people. It was obvious that I was new here but I paid no mind to the stares and questioning looks I got from those standing in the way, glued to the wall with whispers falling from their mouths. I was asked to go into the conference room and knock, so I stayed with finding the conference room first. I found the large room behind the glass doors. Breathing, and pacing myself, I knocked. A feminine voice replied. "Come in." She wasn't the onl
One more kiss, Mr. CEO A bit sad..
Chapter 59After I got to the bus station, I carefully traced my steps back home. Down the lane of the unusual neighborhood. I still wrapped myself in the sadness of the previous day. Although Aaron had assured me that all would be fine, I couldn't help but think otherwise. I slid my phone out of my pocket and unlocked it. I saw Elliot's message from earlier. I didn't open it because I was working. I clicked it."Hey, Love. It's been a minute. How have you been? Just checking up." I smiled at my phone on the road. I got stares and glare from others that were passing by me. I kept a straight face as I texted back. I realized that we were still trying to get accustomed to this new relationship thing. I hated the fact that I was still wary of him. I didn't want to make such huge decisions but then I wished I had to go through my day with him. I wanted to tell him what happened but I had a feeling that he would not like that I'm looking for a job. I just want to do something for mysel

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
One more kiss, Mr. CEO With or without the father...
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
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

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
