One more kiss, Mr. CEO Sharon Myles...Role Model or not...
Chapter 24 I held my phone in my hands for a long time, contemplating my decision. Would I regret this chance that I was about to blow up? I shook my head and exhaled. I was not going to overthink this one. It was a long time and I needed to do this. I clicked on his contact and my finger hovered on the send button. He suddenly went radio silent and I didn't know what to make of it. "Is everything okay?" It was very short and I hoped those three words conveyed all I wanted to tell him. Are we okay? Is he okay? Did he miss me? All the questions I wanted to ask and I just sent that. I breathed out again with a sigh. I had to lock my ego somewhere and ditched the key because I was extremely worried about his well-being. Even if Drew had told me he was fine, I still could not shake off the feeling. What was going in that pretty head of his? I knew that it would help me and doubts if I could hear from him. It was a Monday and how I hated Mondays. The mere thought of it weakened me a
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Chocolate Cake...
Chapter 25 My thoughts were drawing me into a deep void. I felt like nothing could stop this from eating me up. Confusion spun me further into its lair. I couldn't decipher what was true anymore because the fear and too many emotions clouded me. I grabbed the counter and tried to breathe. I was finally exhaling when Bella appeared beside me. "Mrs. Lane wanted you to fix the kitchen before you end your shift. She is really frantic, I suggest you get to it. That's if you still need the pay cheque by the end of the month." I stared at her blankly as she spoke. I gave a brief nod and she walked away. I saw the pity that lingered in her expression for that short time. I understood because I had days where I pitied myself. Just that the humiliation I had faced, wasn't something I had expected. I sighed for the umpteenth time as I went about to get the task done. There was no need to cry over spilled milk, no point crying like a baby. It wasn't even worth a shot even if I had tried it. I
One more kiss, Mr. CEO It's your mess, clean it...
Chapter 26 The kitchen was a mess and I couldn't take it anymore. I didn't know how long it would take to bake a cake but it was awfully too long. I was careful to check through from time to time because I didn't want it to burn to ash. Then, it was just my wish because the instructions were not straight even if I followed through every little detail in the recipe. It was almost like everyone had their personal recipe for chocolate cake. Each recipe I found on YouTube was more complicated than the other. The cake got burnt and it wasn't tasting nice. "So much for wanting to bake a cake." I groaned, crashing on the couch in annoyance. "I would just order some food." I concluded, hissing as I groaned again, staring at the once sparkling kitchen. Kathy still wasn't back and I really hoped she stays at Fred's tonight or she is going to kill me if she sees this mess. *** "The hell?" I screamed as I fluttered my eyes open to see an angry Kathy staring at me with rage. I jolted up
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Abandoned or not?
Chapter 27 The truth was that I was so exhausted but curiosity had the best of me because I wanted to know what exactly was so urgent that he had to call me five times. We were both silent most of the time. I didn't know when he asked a question. "Is everything okay? Are you okay?" I grimaced, not knowing how to reply to his questions. "Yeah, I'm good. Why?" "After you were done with your shift, you left without informing me. That is so unlike you." I facepalmed and realized that there was no way I could have thought about saying goodbye with the way I was feeling. My insides were shattering due to the strong words of my supposed role model. Nobody could have understood that because they were just minding their business. Derek for example, it was bad for me to have left like that. "I should've let him know that I was leaving…Fuck!" After the reminder, all I could say was. "I'm sorry. I was really in a hurry. I had to rush home because something came up. I'm so sorry." T
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Left in the Dark...
Chapter 28I kept staring at the photos and it was the way Elliot snaked his arms around Sharon's waist with the biggest smile plastered on his face that got to me the most. Sharon was indeed grinning from ear to ear, she was made for moments like this. The people loved her, I mean she was a superstar, a celebrity befitting a business tycoon. I felt betrayed, and a very good amount of shame washed down on me. I have been fighting the tears, the more I stared at the picture the more my heart broke in more ways. I couldn't take it anymore, very soon the tabloids will emphasize that. Just as they did with me when the first incident happened with him. Different theories on what is or what they think it is. I wasn't ready for the immense pain and jealousy that went on just reading and re-reading the captions.I clicked on the comment section and saw the thousands of comments that were under the images. The hateful comments that were directed at me were more than the compliments they got fo
One more kiss, Mr. CEO His scent...
Chapter 29 My heart kept racing as I stared at my phone. I kept asking myself questions that I already knew the answers to. It was the second time the phone rang and Elliot appeared on my screen. At first, I thought it was a dream, a dream I didn't want to be in. It was so bad that my phone went off and it rang again. I was getting tired of listening to my phone ring because I knew that it wasn't going to end. He was going to call until I ended up picking it up anyway, so it was inevitable. I sliced the answer button and kept quiet. "Zora, are you there?" I exhaled. I was mentally screaming in my head. Why does it have to be this way? Why do I make steps to get past this and somehow I am being dragged to this same place that ruined me? I didn't know how to begin so I decided inwardly to feign. "Good morning Mr. Garrett." I heard him sigh until he spoke again. "You don't have to be formal with me Zora, you know this?" "I didn't think you were disrespecting people. Is it a crime
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Just a little bit over the moon...
Chapter 30He hugged me tight and I sobbed. I didn't want to, but a tear slid down my cheek and more followed. I just didn't know what else to say. I swallowed, moving away from him when he pulled me to himself again. He stared into my eyes a bit longer and kissed me deeply. My body did not reject the feeling as he snaked his arms around my waist. It wasn't something I was used to, but I remember the last time, my lips joined with his. How our bodies synced without having to force anything. I indulged him for a while then I quickly pulled back and pushed him away."Don't ever do that again. You have no right to touch me or try to…kiss me." I said. "It wasn't part of the deal Mr. Garrett. I am only a crutch to save your fucking reputation. I would love it if it stays that way."I could see that he was getting pissed even with his silence but I was still formal with him. He has always hated it but I needed the relationship to not exceed the formal level. It was the case of too much fam

Chapter 31My head was about to split into two and at the same time, it felt like I was hit by a truck.I groaned rolling myself in the sheets and holding my head with both hands. I couldn't remember much. I wasn't able to hold myself together because the pain was almost unbearable. Yet in all of this pain, the bed was still soft and as much as it felt unfamiliar, I relaxed as I tried to close my eyes tighter to ease the pain. That seemed not to work, so I opened my eyes and adjusted my sight to the unfamiliar calling. It was neatly white and so elegant. It felt like a five-star hotel but I was still adjusting my sight to the light that shot through from the large window panes at the side of the room. I could see the view of the city and it was quite beautiful."This is not home," I muttered to myself, wincing as I tried to get up only to fall back on the bed. There was barely anything I could do because my body felt numb. The pain I felt in my head multiplied. Groaning again, I slid

One more kiss, Mr. CEO I'm happy...
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

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
