2024-10-29 19:42:56Hailey stood in front of the whole family, her seven year old palms sweaty.
She'd spent the whole night reciting this all over again, so it shouldn't be a big deal, yeah?
"It's okay, baby, it's just us." Jojo whispered from her seat, her very pregnant belly making her movement strenuous.
Yeah, just them.
Well, here goes nothing.
"Uhhmm, this is my family tree....." She started a little shyly, pointing to the treelike structure balanced on the table next to her, stuck full of pictures.
Her voice was so small, but it carried around the room.
"I made it myself, well, mummy helped.....a lot. And I'm taking it to school for show and tell on Monday."
She could see her daddy giving her an encouraging thumbs up and it put the light into her eyes and confidence in her voice.
"From the top, this is Granny Meghan and Grandpa Tommy who I didn't get to meet and they gave birth to my mommy and Riley. Too bad they died b

SOMETHING ABOUT MR CEO CHAPTER ONE
Jojo stood in front of the building complex that was McGrath real estate housing and construction', feeling more nervous than she had the first time she was here.Somehow she had felt more calm during that interview than she did now on her first day of the job she just landed.Well she did land it with the help of her father's friend who had promised to put a word in for her a few places.This happened to be it.And though her resumée wasn't all that enticing, she had been called for the interview here at the beginning of last week and by Wednesday, her employment later was sitting in her mail in a pristine white envelope.She fixed her clothe one last time before stepping into the building through it's large revolving door.As expected, and as she saw the last time she was here, the floor was busy as everyone went about the business.

It was Jojo's ringing phone that disrupted the silence in which they worked.She cringed and speedily put it off. You'd think that working in this mandatory silence for six straight months would teach her to always put her ever ringing phone on silent mode.She stealthily raised her eyes to sneak a glance at scary boss man but those hypnotic deep green orbs were already trained on her.Their gazes locked and she felt that zing of desire run down her spine to her most feminine part.Sometimes she wonders if he feels it too.She shifted uncomfortably, moving her eyes away from his, her face burning red.She tried to focus on the monitor of her system as she mutteted a quick, "I'm sorry sir."If she'd thought that time was all it was going to take to cure her of her insane attraction to her incredibly hot boss, Jordan McGrath, then she was in for a surprise.
SOMETHING ABOUT MR CEO CHAPTER THREE
Her mom lay frail on the bed, her opened eyes glazed and unfocused, looking worse than she's seen her yet."Mom, I'm here now." She watched for the barely there twitch of her fingers that usually indicated she was heard but it wasn't there.She took the too thin hand in both of hers."What happened, Maria?" She asked the middle aged nurse who took care of Meghan during her office hours."I found like this on the floor, her skin all pale and eyes glazed up like that."Jojo pinched the bridge of her nose, hard.This wasn't as bad as any of the mental images her mind had conjured up after she'd read that text. Everything was going to be okay, she tried convincing herself."One thing I'm sure of is that she's getting worse. And you have a lot on your hands. Don't you think it's time you paid what I've been suggesting a thought?""I

His kiss was intoxicating, combined with feel of his sexy, powerful body, he had her wanting more, craving more than was possible.His soft but firm lips glided against hers almost roughly, his tongue thrusting into the recess of her mouth without waiting for permission.He wrapped her in a cloud of dangerous desire, brought her forbidden pleasure.But the image of his eyes so like the one she longed to stare into again brought a pang of guilt with it.She broke the kiss, missing the warmth that came with his fiery kiss and his arousing tongue almost immediately.His hand was like a steel band around her, still pressing her to him as he raised his head to question her action with his eyes.
SOMETHING ABOUT MR CEO CHAPTER FIVE
Jojo hated the smell of hospitals more than she hated anything else.That nauseating pungent reek of bleaking hope and long empty hours.She sat uncomfortably on one of the old brown benches with peeling paint in the plain waiting room, waiting for the gray haired Doctor Thomas that practiced and consulted here to call for them.The room was dusted with a few other patients waiting to be called too along side their supportive family or friends.At least they attempted conversations. They say words and even if they hold no much solid meaning to their audience it felt good to her ears.She wished Meghan would try that sometimes. It would feel good to hear her mother's voice again.It's been so long now she wondered if it would sound the same or foreign if she gets to hear it again.Maybe if she'd tried talking to someone about what happened that night,

Fayre didn't notice the other woman in the room upon her entry.All her attention had been honed on the look she'd imagined would be splashed across Jordan's face when he saw her.It's been months since she last saw him and though they'd broken up on very rough terms this last time, she was sure he wouldn't be able to resist her once he saw her again and gets a taste of what he's been missing.After all, she wore this figure hugging, revealing dress whose red color screamed 'fuck me' for a purpose.No man have been able to resist her and her smoking hot body before, he wouldn't be any different, not after she's made special effort to tempt him back.They've had break ups before, ones almost as messy as the current one, but he always took her back anyways. She shouldn't feel any worry about this time around.She stood glaring at the vacant space staring back at her, her disappoin

"What are you doing in here, Fayre?"The low resonance of his voice carried his anger with it but Fayre didn't take the hint.This was her Jordan after all and no matter how angry he got at her, she always managed to calm him and make him come around her way.She smiled at him, subtly pushing her chest out and making her voluptuous breasts more obvious.She smirked as she noticed his eyes drop to them momentarily.This leopard can never change his spots even if he tried."Baby," she drawled,"I've been waiting forever for you. Thought I'd sur

It was just seven pm, give or take a few minutes as Jojo stood outside her house.Whatever function they were attending didn't start until eight but Jordan had insisted she be ready by seven so here she was.She was nervous.Well she was until Jordan's sleek, black Mercedes pulled to a stop in front of her miserable excuse of a home.First, all that nervousness had transformed into a soul ripping pool of embarrassment and then they'd morphed into a sizzling bolt of desire that made her wish she had time to go back in and change her under wear as soon as his door had opened and the man stepped out.He was incredibly hot for lack of better words.He was the perfect blend of gorgeous and sexy. Fuck he gave the words meaning on a whole different level.A Much, much, better level.His whole six feet three body was decked out in a snug fitting,

SOMETHING ABOUT MR CEO CHAPTER NINETY
If JoJo had thought her life was a mess, the truth she'd just discovered crashed if past the grounds, it shattered every truth she's ever known and believed. Uncle Fer....... Fucking Ferdinand! That monster. He'd been the architect of a her pain and problem but he'd always crawled back to blow on them and make it seem like he'd cared. And to find out that he'd been her sperm donor, it killed her to believe it. Jordan was as struck as she was from what they'd read. She ached for her mother too, who'd had to live with all these for years, having no one to be by her side while she played sick and lost in a bid to protect her girls. It must have been hard, being in bed all year round, reliving the nightmares of both events and hating herself for being so weak. She swore she'd be stronger, for herself and Riley and they'd bring the man to Justice, for her mom. But I like her mom, she had Jordan by her side in these t

Jocelyn,Been so long I said your name, guess this might be last you'd hear me call you by your name.So many years have passed and sometimes I lie here, in bed and regret the decisions I made in the past.But I'll always hope you realise it was all for the best, I did what I did to keep you and your sister alive and out of the clutches of the devil, Ferdinand.The man is a devil that shouldn't have found his way into our lives, but he did and till date, we are all still suffering in the wake of all his evil deeds.Tommy, your father, bless his soul, was a good man, the best ever.I met them both while in college and yeah, Ferdinand asked to court me first, but my heart had been longing for another and I'd turned him down.Turns out that was a sin he couldn't forgive.

"No, that can't be." Jojo muttered in disgust as she watched the video playing out before her.There's no way this is true, no way it's him.It'd kill her to believe it was and see just how blind she's been all these years, to find out that her mom had been right all along......God, no.But her denial didn't bring any desired difference to what she'd seen, it didn't wipe the memory or make the video a prank.This had been the night she'd lost her father, this had been where his body had been found, there's no mistaking it, she'd never forgotten.It took Jordan rubbing down her back and asking her in a concerned voice to breathe, to realise she'd been holding her breath.Maybe if she holds it in long enough, she'd realise that all this is just a dream home wrong.Or maybe it wasn't and she was just in a hopeless denial."Please Jordan, tell me it's not him, tell me that's not Uncle Ferdie, I'll believe you."She sob
SOMETHING ABOUT MR CEO CHAPTER EIGHTY EIGHT II
After Riley was fed and out with her very own little family, Alfie and puppy, JoJo got to work searching for that little box.It was one thing to loose her mother so unexpectedly, but to loose the last trace of evidence and her only hope to bringing whoever had been behind her decade old pain to justice?No fucking way!She turned the room they'd been in inside out in her search, but it was nowhere to be found.She was already halfway done with fixing it back up when it did occur to her that she'd last seen the box while lying in that bed with Jordan.It made a lot of sense to think that he had gone missing from the room at the same time her box had and that easily translates to it possibly being in his possession.It kinda pissed her to have him butting into her family issues without her permission, even without the confirmation that he had.Stupid, yeah, but it did embarrassment to have all her linens in his hands without any contro
SOMETHING ABOUT MR CEO CHAPTER EIGHTY EIGHT
JoJo woke before Riley did, there'd been nightmares that didn't let her hold onto the oblivion for too long. She was glad Riley wasn't subjected to the same fate though that didn't hold for long. Tiny feet and big, soulful brown eyes found her sooner than she'd have liked, clouded with visible confusion and fear. "Come here, baby girl." She called to her from where she stood at the door. It did just occur to her why the room looked emptier than she last remembered it. Jordan had been with her before she'd succumbed to the luring hands of sleep. "Come." Her voice was much softer, pleading and beckoning, she didn't want force her, that could be more harmful than it'd be good. The younger girl finally gave in, and came into the room, crawling into JoJo's laps. She held her, stroking her hair, the quietness that was hanging around the house making her nauseous. Maybe it's always been this quiet with

The twist got bigger the deeper he dug and the plot hole wider.There'd been a lot going on with Tom Collen and Ferdinand and the more he discovered, the clearer it got and the more his theory on Tom's murder held.The files on the card were too many to peruse at one go so he abandoned it for the line card he'd inserted to read.At first there seemed to be nothing of interest in it until he stumbled upon a video record.It looked to be from a security camera recording from long ago.He sat in his chair, watching it and wishing he didn't have to.It made it worse that this was what he'd have to show JoJo, the horror she'd have to see.If only he could save her this, the pain and the nightmare.She didn't deserve it, not do soon, not with everything she was dealing with.He dialed Brad instead, requesting for immediate audience.They've become an investigative team of their own after all,bent on riding the world of

She finally fell asleep, right in Jordan's arms, drained from all the tears she'd cried and all the grief she'd let herself become buried under.He understood her pain, he'd seen it, experienced it and it was nothing to joke about.And he'd give anything in a heartbeat to take it away from her, to see her face light up with one of those her beautiful smiles that always made his day.These times have been the hardest and this crown looks too heavy for the head wearing it.But one thing he was sure of was that he was going no where, he'd be her, by her side until it gets better and even then, there'd be no force strong enough to remove him from her life.He loves her more than he'd ever imagined he could love anyone, his baby girl, his JoJo.She looked calmed while she slept, a tad bit relaxed, better than she'd been when she'd been up and grieving.He leaned down, pressing his lips to her forehead in a gentle, tender kiss.Her g

Meghan's passing was a blow nobody expected, and everyone was taking it hard around the house, especially JoJo.She'd never expected this day to come so soon and now that it did, it did hit hard.She'd been do lost, but Jordan had been there every step of the way, taking charge and getting the body to the morgue.At least that's where she believes they went.She'd let herself get sucked into shadowing Riley and crying her soul out.Riley was asleep now, having cried herself to it, and now JoJo had time on her hands to mourn.She had the watch she'd recently just retrieved, fiddling with it and wondering what she's supposed to do with the damn thing without Meghan to give her a guide.The door to the room came open and Jordan stood at the door.She wasn't expecting him to be back so soon.She could see the pity swimming in his eyes even before he took steps closer in her direction.He was careful not to wake
