"I want to feel you inside me, Edward..." ~ Edward Harrington, the high-profile social elite and CEO of Harrington Group of Companies, thought that his relationship with his girlfriend was flawless until one fateful night—he caught his girlfriend fvcking with another man. To his surprise, the man his girlfriend was with in bed was his best friend. They both confessed to being in a relationship for three years, overlapping their five-year relationship. Drunk and wasted, he stumbled alone to La Cresta, a high-end resort he had originally planned as a surprise vacation for his girlfriend for their 5th anniversary. Unfortunately, it turned into his escape from the pain he felt after being betrayed by the two important people in his life. By fate, he encountered Shiela Lockheart, a feisty provincial woman with a goddess face and innocent eyes—the most beautiful woman in La Cresta.

Paid to be the CEO's Girlfriend 0006: Fire of the Night
Betty fled the penthouse, the glittering lights of La Cresta a dizzying blur. Her tears welled up, but she quickly wiped them away. Her mind was racing. She had to find help. Just a waitress, a nobody in this world of luxury, she had no powerful friends to call on, but she couldn't give up. As the headlights of a car approached in the distance, a flicker of hope ignited. Maybe, just maybe, someone would see her, someone who could help her save her friend. Meanwhile, Edward and Toni were chatting happily, heading towards the plaza of Upper Crest Haven to watch Shiela and her group perform. "Sir, you seem different today. Watching fire dancing for the first time, and you're even offering freebies after their performance? I swear, I almost forgot that Ma'am Alice broke your heart," Toni teased, his voice laced with playful sarcasm. He'd been poking fun at his boss for a while now. Edward smiled and shook his head, his attention fixed on the road. "Come on, it's just a friendly gestur

Edward's text message popped up on Sheila's phone, making her heart do a little flip. ‘After your performance, I'll treat you to dinner at a nearby restaurant. I'll be there in an hour,’ it read. She could almost hear the smile in his voice, even through the cold, digital screen. Her cheeks flushed a rosy pink. She wanted to type a quick "Thanks!" but her phone was about to die. She bit her lip, a little disappointed, and quickly tucked it back into her pocket. "Sheila! Formation's about to kick off. Hurry up!" Uncle Caloy, their fire-dancing instructor, called out. They had rehearsed five times, but he wanted to make sure they were prepared. This gig at Upper Crest Haven was a big deal. "Coming!" she called back, a bright smile adorning her face as she hurried to join her crew. She snagged her fire dancing gear and positioned herself at the heart of the formation, ready to steal the spotlight. She’s determined to impress Edward with her performance, and excitedly scanned the entra

"The nerve of you to show up here! Your whole damn salary ain't even enough to cover Mr. Smith's busted nose treatment! Shame on you! You're fired!" Aunt Nadia's furious rant made Sheila shut her eyes in resignation. Sheila, just a waitress, felt disrespected and treated like some kind of a prostitute, so no wonder she freaked out. Edward just defended her, but it seemed like she’s being unfairly blamed for what happened. "Well, it's Mr. Handsome who threw the punch, not Shie—" "You too! You wanna get canned too?!" Aunt Nadia cut off Betty's defense. Betty wanted to speak up for Sheila, but as fellow employees, they both chose to remain silent to avoid more drama. Taking a deep breath, Sheila hesitantly pleaded for another chance to stay at La Cresta. "Just one more chance. It won't happen again. I'll treat Mr. Smith properly if that's what you want, just let me continue worki—" "What?! You really think you can disrespect me like that?" Aunt Nadia mocked, tearing up Sheila's

"Aunt Marie, can you watch over Mom for a bit? There are many visitors at La Cresta now, so there's plenty of work for me to hustle," Shiela reminded her neighbor, who she entrusted with her mother, who has Alzheimer's disease. She’s washing the dishes, the phone tucked between her shoulder and ear. She couldn't risk neglecting her mother, as it could lead to accidents. Shiela couldn't just stay at home and watch over her mother because they would both go hungry. Fortunately, she knew the caretaker at La Cresta, Aunt Nadia, so she managed to get in as a firedancer at the resort. She took up extra shifts in the morning when they were short on staff. During these times, she barely had enough sleep or eat due to the hustle, but it’s worth it because she earned more money compared to regular days. 'Oh, no problem, dear. I'm not doing anything at home anyway. It gets boring being alone there too. When are you coming home?' Aunt Marie asked on the other end. "It will be about five more

Edward gripped the steering wheel tightly with one hand, the other clutching a beer bottle—his seventh since starting the drive, he guessed. Rock music, something he wouldn't normally listen to, blared from the speakers. He sped down the winding road towards La Cresta, his foot heavy on the gas. 'Alice, will you marry me?' The memory of his proposal to Alice on their fourth anniversary was still vivid in his mind. 'I do! I do! I'll marry you, Edward!' Alice replied, her voice choked with tears of joy, before crashing her lips onto his. It had been one of the happiest days of Edward's life, a memory that used to make him smile, but now it felt like a knife twisting in his heart and mind. Alice betrayed him, not just with some random guy, but with his closest friend. He felt utterly betrayed. Edward slammed his foot on the accelerator, the car speeding up even more. Thankfully, traffic was sparse in this area, otherwise, he might have crashed, fueled by his rage. Edward wa

As Edward stepped out of the airport, he chose the silver car. One of his uniformed staff members opened the door for him. From a distance, he spotted his cousin, Addie, running towards him, eager to catch him before he left. “Edward!” Addie blocked the car door, her presence a stark contrast to the luxurious setting. She wasn't the typical billionaire, dressed simply and with a boyish charm, but she’s the CEO of AG, or Addie's Gazette, a rival company to JN Magazine. Edward knew instantly what she’s up to, her gaze and posture revealing her intentions. She wanted to get the scoop on the news that had just broken about his love life. "You got a secret girlfriend?" she asked directly, holding her newly switched-on recorder. Edward just laughed at her dedication to her job as a journalist. "Yeah, for five years. We're getting married soon," Edward replied casually, starting the car engine. It’s a clear signal that he wasn't going to engage in a long conversation with his cousin. "Oh

On board the Luxor Grande, a massive 230-foot private jet cutting through the night sky, was none other than Edward Harrington, the big-shot CEO of Harrington Group of Companies.

Talk about living the high life. It had been six months since Edward jetted off to Europe for some serious business. Now, he’s itching to get back to the Philippines and surprise the most important woman in his life, Alice Dawson—his girlfriend of five years and his childhood sweetheart. "Good evening, Sir. Dom Pérignon?" the stewardess asked, her smile as bright as the champagne she’s offering. She had a trolley piled high with fancy drinks and sandwiches, and her uniform was a tight fit, showing off her amazing figure. "Sure," Edward replied, his voice smooth and cool, like a guy who knows exactly what he wants.
