STONE HEARTED C.E.O 168 The karma
He was very much silent while he listened to the call. This made me more tense. What has happened now? Was Enzo causing us any trouble? It could be even a ransom call. He got out of bed and got into a wheelchair. I sprang from the bed. Why was he hiding it from me?"Dane tell me what happened?", I asked but he wheeled away from me.My temper flew and I followed him. I was so angry that I could curse him for not telling me. I was afraid that he had indeed sent out a bounty demanding Enzo's head. Maybe Enzo wants his revenge. He put on the television much to my shock. Does he want to watch TV right now? Was he out of his fucking mind? He scrolled through channels and stopped when he got to a news channel. I saw a picture of A corpse blurred. I think it was missing a head. I saw cops everywhere. The headline read as notorious gangster Enzo is dead in an encounter with cops. I pressed my hand to my mouth. What the fuck? Enzo is dead. This means we didn't have to live in fear anymore."I'm
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 169 Kismet
Finally, I was happy and content. Dane was given back to me. I would love to thank God for his intervention there is no other way I could refer to the death of the gangster that kidnapped and put me in trauma. I had even begun therapy because I had found some relief in talking about my issues and so far I was diagnosed with everything. First, it was PTSD then there was anxiety which I always had maybe I should thank Ella for that. I'm also being diagnosed with mild depression as a result of every bad thing that happens to me. But so far there is no medication so it is not that bad.Dane had started going to his therapy sessions too. It was mainly to make me feel happy and wholesome. I was so happy already even if he couldn't walk I'm satisfied with his ability to move his legs around. So what if he can't walk? He can do everything and he is the most active guy I had seen.Jake had come back finally we are expecting him for a non-formal dinner tonight. His parents too are in a celebrat
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 170 Love and friendship
"Your phone", I said to him."Thanks", he said nervously. I knew something was off straight away."I should leave now. I need to be somewhere early in the morning", I said to him."OK see you later", said Dane with a wave.Dane left the room because it was time for his ice bath. He insists to do it alone. He said he didn't want to be reminded of the fact he was physically challenged every time. I respected his decision."Jake can I ask you something?", I asked him making sure Dane had left."What is it?", he asked with a friendly smile."I want to ask you are you happy with her?", I asked him."Yes", he said without missing a beat."I don't understand. I thought you hated her", I told him unable to hide the fact that I already know who his mysterious girlfriend was."So you know?", he asked with a raised eyebrow."I saw her calling you", I told him."I'm sorry Ziva. But it is my life", said Jake."You were always fighting and you could never see her eye to eye. This huge shift I don't
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 171 Saving one's friend
I think there is a chance a deep friendship would be broken today. There is no going back if Dane had said something to Jake regarding Heidi. I knew Jake was pretty serious and wouldn't hear anything against her unfortunately even if it was the truth. I wondered how could he simply fall for her. Hadn't he known how evil she can become? I still got goosebumps thinking of that day when I caught her trying to seduce my husband. If I hadn't stopped her in between I would have lost Dane forever. She could have hurt us deeper than ever before.I jumped when I saw Dane coming into the room. He was so early today. I wonder whether he confronted Jake about her. If that is the case I was sure that he would have caused a great scene what with Jake's stubbornness irrespective of what she did."Did you talk to Jake?", I asked him without a preamble.He was silent. I knew I had done a great mistake by admitting the truth to Dane. I knew Jake might have hated me for that. But what else I could have
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 172 Change is the only constant
"It is good to see you Jake", I told him."Thanks for agreeing to see me", he said. Why was he being so formal? Our relationship wasn't anything like this before. What had changed between us? Had Heidi already been successful in breaking our friendship?"Why do you say that? This is your home too", I said mildly."I have come to see Dane and try to talk to him about us. I don't want to lose him", said Jake painfully. Has he already decided to lose his best friend for a fake beauty? It hurts me to even admit Heidi had seduced Jake away from us."You won't lose him Jake", I said to him."But yet he didn't come down to see me", said Jake."You know him well Jake. You have hurt him and Dane doesn't react the same way as us when he is hurt", I reminded him."You are right. I will wait for him then", he said with a shrug."I don't know how to say this so that I'm not offending you. Are you sure that Heidi is in love?", I asked him."I don't know about that but she cares for me deeply. I had
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 173 Observe and conclude
"Thanks, Ziva now I know who is my True friend", said Jake."Ziva don't trust him", cautioned Dane."Let her decide man it is her choice", said Jake."I want to be friends Jake no matter what happens", said I."Ziva I can promise that Heidi won't do anything like that ever again. If you give her another chance I can promise you that everything is going to be alright", said Jake."That is enough man. You better stay away from my wife. I won't allow anyone to hurt her ever again", said Dane."So it is alright with you if the hurt is caused by you? You are such a hypocrite Dane", said Jake."Boys stop fighting", I admonished him."Dane I have come to invite you to a double date. I will text you the details", said Jake."I'm not coming to your fucking date. It will never work out grow up man", said Dane.He just shrugged as though he wasn't affected by his comments. But I knew the sharpness of Dane's words had cut him real deep. But Jake would never show it. He is like me that way."We wi
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 174 Open your eyes
"Talk to me Heidi what is happening?", I asked her."I have nothing to talk especially to you", said Heidi with a shrug."Are you kidding me? Jake is going ballistic over how much in love you both are", I told her."Why don't you go and ask him if you are not going to believe what I say?", she hissed at me."Heidi it is not my fault I stopped believing you. You have always lied to me", I said."There must be some reason for that because you always ruin things for me", she said."I have always tried to help you", I said to her."Stop lying big sister. You can't stomach my happiness", said she."Are you happy?", I asked her."Yes", she said."Is this because of Jake?", I asked her."Yes", she said with a shrug."Then I'm happy for you. I thought you were using him for money", I said to her."You always assume the worst in me. You think you are the only one who is perfect", she said with a laugh."I'm sorry to say Heidi that is because of you. I only wish you all the happiness now that y
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 175 Nightmare
"What did she say to you?", I asked curious."I didn't listen", he shrugged."What did Jake say?", asked Dane."I didn't hear as well", I told with a huff."Babe please be serious. I want to know", he said."We just chatted that is all. I told him that Heidi didn't love him", I said."What did he say in response?", asked Dane."He said he already knew it. Maybe he was working on it. He sounds pretty confident that he will be able to beat you ultimately and find his way to her heart", I said."What the fuck? Did he say those things?", asked Dane. Disgust was evident on his face."Well not in many words but that was the gist of our conversation", I told him."I don't care what they do as long as they stay away from you", said Dane."I don't think it is easy for Jake or us. He is our family", I reminded him."He used to be our family now he is an enemy", said Dane."You didn't just say that. He can't help whom he falls in love", I told him."Sounds poetic but is utter nonsense. Would you
