One more kiss, Mr. CEO A beautiful bait he won't resist...
Chapter 14 The day has been hectic. The smell of good food still filled my nostrils making my stomach rumble in hunger. I scolded myself like that would actually help. I'm glad the day was over and the best thing that has been in my head all day was the thought of Elliot. I can't seriously like the guy….pfft. It was supposed to be an act. I did what I did before, pushing the thought at the back of my head since I couldn't abolish such thoughts from my mind these days. They always find ways to resurface again. Memories never truly die, they always remember themselves. I thought I was done for the entire day when I saw this unknown man sitting across the tables close to the window. His hands were loosely clinging to the newspaper he was reading. I realized that his table was empty, so I took a glass of iced tea and placed it before him. He let down his newspaper for a bit and smirked at me. I grimaced, thinking why he would do that. I have felt strange advances from men and even s

Chapter 15 The memory of our previous date still lingered in my head. It was like when I wanted to forget, it remembers and always gives me a cause to smile. It was everything and more because I found comfort in it. Sometimes, I forget that I was actually very mad at him for not reaching me since then. Did all of that even mean anything to him? I have been rethinking that question, maybe I would get some divine answer but Elliot was the only one that could answer that. I hated not knowing at all, nothing in the world prepared me for days of utter silence. I wanted to call but I would sound desperate if I did. That wasn't something I would let myself do, I had too much pride, and not a pin was going to waste on Elliot. "Why am I bothering myself so much.?" I muttered to myself. If I was doing this, then it proves only one thing that I liked him and cared for him that much. It wasn't even that deep, we only looked out for ourselves and this was his version of making it up to him. Th
One more kiss, Mr. CEO I might...But I don't want to...
Chapter 16 The night just began and I was yet to know where exactly we were going. Elliot opened the door for me to get in the car, making me grimace at his gesture. He was too arrogant to be kind, he didn't have the time for such. "Why did the gentleman act?" I was forced to ask. He narrowed his eyes as he peaked at me for a second. "What?" He started. "Don't be ridiculous. That wasn't an act, I am a gentleman. If you could only adjust your angry lenses a bit you'd see it." I scoffed. Angry lenses. I thought. Elliot touched some buttons to turn on the air conditioning. I groaned if only I could listen to myself next time instead of the thirsty words of Elliot. "You know, this is the exact reason why I wanted a change of clothing before we left the house." I pointed to the air conditioning. He chuckled, I tucked my hands looking out the window. "You are fine this way. You look extremely good." He had this flirtatious look on his face and I couldn't get into a minor argument.

Chapter 17 Everything became quieter. I saw a different approach to the way I moved on these past few days. Everything was going smoothly but Elliot didn't seem to get over some things. His arrogance was still annoying the hell out of me but he seemed to have warmed up to Kathy. I realized that he greeted her and they were some kind of acquaintances now. The last time they seemed to be comfortable in their presence and it was a good thing to see after watching the horror of Elliot ignoring her for no reason. We didn't talk more about the kiss, or more like I didn't. Anytime, he brought up the topic I always found a way to deviate from it. At every turn of my thinking phase, there was always a loophole and I didn't think I was ready to do that. I had to make sure that everything doesn't affect me that much. We were nothing, there was nothing that went on between us. Each time I told myself that, the intimate moments drummed at the back of my mind. Resurfacing at its own will, I tho

Chapter 18 I stalled talking to Aaron because I didn't know what to tell him, where do I begin? It was indeed something I have been thinking about. The call ended and I was relieved. I needed to check with the doctor if there are still some tests that should be done. I was attempting to stand when my phone rang again. It was Aaron, there was nothing I could do, I couldn't ignore. I breathed before answering. "Hey sis!" he chimed "Hey Aaron," I greeted. "How are you? You sound very happy." I commented. I tried to sound enthusiastic enough. I just want my energy to match his, there is no point in ruining his mood. I felt bad already and I didn't want to bother him. "Of course, I am very happy. I am speaking to my sister and that's the best thing. It has really been hard to reach you these days." He complained. I exhaled and glanced at Kathy as her fingers slid into my hands to comfort me. "I'm sorry. Work has been hectic. You know everything has been happening at once. Hope you ar

Chapter 19 This was the second time Elliot was coming to my place of work and honestly, I did find it interesting. I wondered why he would come here without any prior notice. Elliot's expression was blank until he saw me, his face lit up but there was a flash of confusion. I was wondering what was in his mind without showing any impression that I was happy to see him. I was happy but I made a promise to myself, and I wasn't going to break it. Even with the dark clothes he wore, Mrs. Lane seemed to recognize the billionaire immediately. She ignored the other customers as she was always asking Elliot if he wanted to eat anything. I sensed his discomfort. He wasn't used to coming to this kind of restaurant that was so clustered and full of people. His eyes shone with irritation as he stared at me. "Don't worry, Mrs. Lane. I would take it from here." I told her with a small smile. There was a flash of disappointment on her face but the next second it was gone and she smiled back tight
One more kiss, Mr. CEO Beautiful...that's what you are...
Chapter 20We got as fast as we could into Elliot's car and zoomed off. I didn't know where we were going exactly and Elliot wasn't saying anything either. I was too much in my feelings today and there was nothing I could do to replace the memory. Each time it came on in my head, I cringed and let overthinking control the whole situation. Maybe he would think less of me? Although he didn't react that way, there was no way I could read his mind. Ever since he arrived, his expressions had been passive. I tried to shake off the feeling of shame from me and just be in the moment. There was nothing no one could tell me, there was this kind of safety that staying with Elliot brings. Too bad, we were already history even before we got to live through every memory.It was over twenty-five minutes and the silence between us was deafening. We didn't say a word to each other and I would love to know the reason but I just decided against everything that concerns him. He kept driving and taking t
One more kiss, Mr. CEO His smirk...His eyes...
Chapter 21 We started feasting and having conversations in between. There was more than enough food, so much that I feared it was going to be too much for just me to eat. I loved how everything was curated. There were burgers and pizzas, cooked lasagna, and pasta. I didn't know where to begin at first but he urged me to eat to my satisfaction. I was beginning to feel better and for the first time, I didn't feel a wave of sadness from my episodes of overthinking. He was talking about how he charmed everyone with his looks when he came to look for me at the restaurant. He was so full of himself but in a funny way. I kept laughing and things weren't so tense when he said that. I was glad we were quick to put the talk about "my ex" by the side. "For a moment there, I think your Manager was into me." he winked. "She kept coming to me and asking if I was okay." "That's because she knows you and she wants you to be comfortable. She is pretty nice to everyone. So don't flatter yourself to

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

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.

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
