STONE HEARTED C.E.O 139 Fall
"Oh no!", I gasped and flew outside. I was running to see that Heidi had been helped into a chair and she didn't look good. Her face was very pale. Fathima joined me followed by Dane."Did you call the hospital?", asked Dane."Yes", said Fathima."It hurts", cried Heidi."Where?", asked Dane surveying her and then the stairs."My legs. I think it is broken ", she said."Do you want to go to the hospital?", he asked her. "No. I can't move. I need to lie down", she said."Fine. The security will take you to your home. You can rest there", said Dane. She nodded her head satisfied. I followed her worrying and praying that she be alright. She complained that they are holding too tight. She winced when they put her down."Be gentle", I advised them. "What happened?", I asked her. "I went to get some water and fell from the stairs", she said. "But your room is already equipped with a water filter. Didn't Fathima tell you?", I said sadly. "Why are you interrogating me? I need to rest",
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 140 Goodbye work
There was now a shift in my relationship with Heidi. She no longer treated me like I destroyed her life. We had a somewhat cordial relationship if not warm. Yes, the years of resentment wouldn't go away at the drop of a hat but still one can hope. I had given up all the pretends of working. I'm considering resigning from the position. I have talked about it briefly with Dane. He wasn't particularly happy about it. He knew I wasn't one of those who could sit at home and be happy. I needed to feel useful and spending Dane's money on shopping doesn't make me necessarily happy. But prolonging this wasn't the least bit fruitful.So here I was holding my resignation letter and getting ready for the office. Heidi is doing work from home I imagine. I think she lost interest in the charity once I stepped away. The allure of competition wasn't in it anymore and she is not enthralled by the concept of it. As far as I have seen she just signs everything they send to her. She won't step down as a

"You are late we were about to go on a date", huffed Ella."I'm sorry but I had to go to the office", I told her."Stop lying girl. You didn't work for a day after you married Dane", she said to me."I don't want to argue with you, Ella. Give me her things and I would be on my way", I told her."What things? I don't know", she said with a sniff."Ella please give me a phone call and ask her", I begged her."Fine", she said to me.She moved away to talk to her. I stood there with Greg who was looking at me like he would like to eat me. It was disgusting."You are very tall", he said. I stayed silent. I wasn't interested in talking to this creepy dude."What you don't talk to poor people?", he taunted me."I don't want to talk to you because I don't like you", I told him."What did you say? You arrogant little fool. He is the best guy in this world", she said with a hiss.I think she had some twisted idea of how guys. I rolled my eyes not wanting to fight with her. Greg seemed to like t
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 142 Save myself
They left me to rot in here and went on a date. I can't believe it. I wanted to shout but I doubt anyone would hear me. I had one option which is to climb down the window movie-style. But there is a small issue I'm afraid of heights. I don't want to take a risk of that level if it is not a threat to my life. I knew she can't keep me more than tonight in here. I don't have my phone with me and that was the biggest problem. If I had known her intention I would have kept it with me or hidden it. But I had no clue that I was walking into a trap.I didn't want to even think about what could be happening at home. I wanted to throw up or hit the pretty mirror that Heidi adored because I was so angry. But I was a calm person, not a dramatic one. I had never destroyed a property before and I wasn't going to start today. I tried to think rationally. I had complete faith in my husband. He would never betray me. I'm hundred and one per cent sure that he wouldn't do it. But I hated the fact that s

snoozing want me to come up with you?", she asked me."No. Thanks for coming", I told her while I hugged her."That is me your knight in shining armour", she said with a snicker.I slammed the door and ran to my home to save my knight's honour that is about to be compromised by my sister.The security watched me curiously and when they realised that I was alone I saw panic in their eyes. I didn't pause anywhere instead I dashed to the door and pressed the bell. Fathima came up to open the door. I knew he had knee pain. So my wait was a bit long."You said you would be staying back", she said."I don't have time to explain where is Dane?", I asked him."In his room", she said. I flew up the stairs at lightning speed it helps that I ran tracks in high school. Maybe I should have given that a shot. I went to his room and opened the door. I saw Heidi in her nightgown beside a sleeping Dane. I was consumed by rage. She stood there guilty but Defiance was seen burning in her eyes."What did

wrecked him no need to worry he is doing good. Sounds like he did quite a party", observed the doctor. I gave him a forced smile."Can we see him?", asked Jake."Sure he was asking about his angry wife", said the doctor.Jake chuckled while I sighed. He knew that he was in trouble. But he wasn't afraid I guess. He is ready to deal with my wrath. But he has no idea how much it is going to be.I stormed inside with Jake in tow. He followed me snickering. It wasn't even a remotely funny situation. He had endangered his life and as I said before it was now mine since I saved his life. "Good morning my love", he said. I saw shadows underneath his eyes. "Don't you dare Dane? You don't know what you put me through", I hissed at him. "Because I had a few drinks?", he asked me with a raised eyebrow."No, because I found you with my sister. She was wearing a nightgown of the thinnest kind if you care for details", I shot at him.His lips curled with distaste when he discovered that. I shudde

A nurse tapped on my shoulder. I looked at her she was very lively and young. If she was looking after Dane I would be instantly jealous."Excuse me Mr Dane said he was not feeling good", said the nurse.I stood up immediately and looked at Jake worried. But he doesn't look worried he had a knowing smile on his face. I had no idea why he was acting like this."Let us go", I said to Jake."I don't think he wants to see me again. Excuse me may I know your name?", asked Jake to the pretty nurse. I wanted to roll my eyes."I'm January", she said with a smile."Why don't you join me? I don't want to be alone right now", he said."Sure", she said joining him without any hesitation. I had already gathered my things and left them. I was a little irritated at Jake but Dane was OK and he was always there when I needed him. But he had a life outside of me and Dane. I can't force him to follow us all the time. I didn't bother to knock and got inside but I found him relaxing and eating an apple.
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 146 The gambit
"I warned you that your queen is in trouble," he said with a chuckle. His hands moved on the board and cut off my queen easily with a weak pawn. "Oh no! I thought you were bluffing", I said unhappily. "You want it back?", he asked me. Was he serious? There is no way we can get back once we lost one."Are you serious? Won't it be too risky? With queen I may win", I asked him."I'm a businessman I love risks", he said leaning back. We were in my room playing aimless chess. I used to be a winner back when I used you play chess. But now I have some stiff competition it seems. My distraction when he opened a few buttons of his shirt cost me, my queen. But now I'm very much focused on the game. No more distractions. I had put my queen back and undid my last move. I was back on winning and I was about to make a critical move when he started to undo the rest of his buttons. My eyes refused to stay on the board no matter how much I willed. "What are you doing?", I asked him. "It is hot in
