STONE HEARTED C.E.O 19 First Impression
He didn't come home that night. I had my dinner and went to bed early. It wasn't needed though. He didn't come until wee hours in the morning. So here I stand putting make up on a poorly slept face. I did saw him before he was flying to his office. He said me that he had made the appointment with the manager. It would be better if none knows that my husband is in complete power. He didn't want them to jealous or something. So I'm going just as a member for the time being. Until I prove my worth to the organisation I won't chair it. I was OK with that. Being part of volunteering is much fun than being at the top. I was thankful for giving this opportunity to me. I knew he could have given to someone else who is more capable than me. Maybe he is really guilty for firing me from the position."I don't know when I will be back", I said to Fathima. I knew these things ran late. It was not an employee situation where we could clock out at five."I hope you take your food on time", said Fath

But in the end I made the decision to go to his office not to confront him but for support. When I reached the office I was met with bitchy receptionist again. She almost scrunched her face when she saw me. But she directed me to Dane. I expected more drama though. I knocked the door three times and heard a rough come in. If it is the way he calls people in I won't be surprised if people quit. But I know he was a boss who was fair. All my payment had been given to me and I was only fired a little while ago. I would go back to his office even after the insult that much desparate I was. He looked up from his laptop and his eyes widened when he saw me. Maybe it is my face. I might have cried a bit on Uber. The driver ignored me. He stood up and rushed towards me. I hung my head I was a ninny. "Are you alright?", he asked me. "Where is my invite?", I asked her. "Say what?", he asked me. "I can't join give butter without an invite", I clarified for him. "Sweetheart you don't need an
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 21 Consolation
Fathima put dinner on the table anyways. I know she disapproved that he didn't eat at home. He ate a single piece of bread that's it. Even I was disapproving his life. He had too much money why should he work slave hours? But I kept quiet it is his life after all. I had no right to question him. Did I? I was a wife on paper.When I walked to my room I was tired. My mind is now a days in constant emotional turmoils. I had no idea why? Usually I get calmer after my periods. But I'm very restless. I had no idea what happened to me?Maybe it is because Dane was avoiding me a small voice on the back of mind reminded me. I tried to shut it up. But I know that could be a truth. We came close really close after my visit to his office. But now he had withdrawn. Maybe that was because I had hinted that he had feelings as a part of joke. How would I know that guy doesn't know to take a joke.I closed my tired eyes and the sleep evaded me as usual. A steady sleep at night is evading me. I fear it
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 22 Shocking news
"Ask me what do you want to know?", he said seriously."I want to know about my sister", I asked him straight forward."What do you want to know?", he asked me straight away."Where is she?", I asked him."I don't know exactly where she is. I know she is somewhere in Hawai", he said."How do you know?", I asked him."Because she is using my credit card", he said. He wasn't lying at least."So you could have traced her and talked to her easily", I said."Why would I talk to her?", he asked as if the idea disgusts him."I don't know fix things up", I said."I would never want to fix things up with her after the stunt she pulled", he said."So you didn't want to get married?", I asked."Not to her", he confirmed my suspicions."And you chose me why?", I asked in a whisper. "Because I knew that you were much better than her. You stayed to give me the news. You didn't run away from the chaos. You chose to stay and deal with the consequences of your sister's mess. I liked that about you. I
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 23 Proposal
Earlier he used to avoid me but now it is me. I take great pains to not to see him. Sometimes I see him passing and he tries to make conversation which I reply with minimum words. If he knows something he is definitely not showing. I put on my make up and curse when I find my foundation bottle was empty. Why do they provide such miniscule bottles when we have already spend half our salary on their pricy products it is the bane of our existence. I would definitely sue those firms if I had wealth like my husband.I went to the break fast table and saw that Fathima is not in her usual spirits. I didn't want a mother in law living with me in the place of house help . Speaking of mother in law I hadn't talked to Tom or Linda. They hadn't visited me. I wonder why? Maybe their equation with my husband is not that good. I don't know. Maybe he is incapable of loving his parents. Maybe he was narcissistic I have no clue. But one thing is certain I won't give myself for him to play with anymore.
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 24 Visiting in-laws
I couldn't wait to get out of this room. I want to hide somewhere I'm least likely to be spotted. I'm sick of pretending to be a normal wife. Because the truth is that I'm a last minute bride. That will always be my identity."So let us go into voting process", said Renee."Ok. Since Irene and Hana had already left but put out their votes as positive we just have us. I vote positive", said André."Me too", said Renée.I don't know what Heidi would have done in my place. Maybe she will just be like Irene and Hana. But she is a little better than them. I don't know if I'm objective since she is my sister. But I knew one thing she would have been accepted here like she belonged here. Unlike me who had forced my way inside to the world of rich people."Ziva it is your turn", called Renée. I was being called back to the present. I looked at them and found pity in their eyes. I don't need their pity. I can take care of myself. I had been doing it for a long period of time. Even if I'm not f
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 25 Crashing the night
"I remember that time when I caught him with his girl of the time. He was like stop disturbing us mom. The poor girl was so embarrassed I took her home", said his mom rolling her eyes."Mom that is not exactly a funny or embarrassing story at all", said Dane leaning back on his chair."I know the way you go through the woman is exactly the number of paper towels I use in the kitchen. I was scared for you. I thought you never find love", she said with a sad smile."But he did and he married her", said Tom sipping his beer."Yes and it made me happiest woman in the world", said Linda."Good for you mother because I don't want you to worry about me and lose your hair", he said with a smirk."You are annoying boy reminding an old woman of her falling hair", said his mother not seriously."I'm going to get another beer", excused my husband.I watched him go confused. Why hadn't he denied the fact that he married for love? He didn't do it for love. He did it because he wanted a child. The w

"That is True honey. He had left us right after he turned seventeen. So this is our chance to make up with him for not giving him appropriate bed", said his mother covering her face. "You left because of the bed?", I asked. They laughed in response. I felt embarrassed. I knew I should have kept my mouth shut. Why was I always saying things that came to my head without thinking."Forgive me. That is not the reason. I guess he didn't want to follow the rules. We had a brief rift. We wanted him to finish school but he was adamant on starting his company early. I know what you might think of us. We regret that to this day", said Linda softly.Frankly I couldn't fault them. Imagine their shock when your kid doesn't want to finish school. Opting out of college was fine but not finishing school was appalling."How could you just leave without finishing the school?", I asked him in awe. I would never have done something like that."I know what I want to do. They were not teaching any helpfu

Charlie hadn't said anything to Dane. If only she waited for him to talk. Charlie pretended to say the truth so that Heidi comes clean before Dane. She had done it but I knew she will pay the cost for it. Dane now knows everything. The Wedding won't happen now. I felt a little sorry for my sister after all she had lost Dane again."You didn't say the truth to me. I'm angry at you too", said Dane."I won't blame you. I should have told you about Enzo but I was afraid you won't take it seriously", I confessed."His people had shot me and you think I won't take it seriously? Ziva please be mature", said Dane."I'm sorry Dane", I said."You made us lose our precious three years of life. I missed my daughter's birth and her significant mile stones. It is not something that I can forgive", said Dane."You are right. I was a coward and everyone used that knowledge to influence me", I admitted."You are not a coward Ziva. I wish you were a little more selfish. You sacrificed us for my life. I

When I reached the venue I was immediately ushered into the groom's room. I went to see Dane working on the laptop. My daughter screamed and went to hug him. He took her and lifted above his shoulders. Who knew my serious daughter was a fun loving girl ?"I miss you daddy", she said."I miss you too bug", he said."Don't get married", she said bossily."Why?", he asked curiously."Because mommy cries", she said shocking me.He looked at me with a hint of smile. I was dumb struck."I wasn't", I said to him.She climbed down from her father and took her place next to me. I gave her a warning look."Don't lie", she said to me."I'm not lying", I said to her."You said that daddy", she was about to say everything but I put my hand on her mouth."That is enough", I warned her."There is still time confess your love or it will be too late", he said with a smirk."No. Our life is not a rom Com Dane. Everything is not black and white", I said to him."Fine your wish", he said.I took my daugh
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 237 The heartbreak wedding
I'm a stubborn creature where the need arises. I'm not going to backdown even if he says that he can't live without me. But I knew he won't say it. I had hurt him enough but still he says he can't marry Heidi. I can't go home till we reaches some sort of agreement."Dane. I'm not going back where it all started. I want an out", I said painfully. I had a fair idea on how much I was hurting him."Fine. I will get married but you have to be at the wedding. If you decide not to come at the last moment the wedding is off", said Dane."You can't say that. Please I won't go back not with Enzo there", I said to him."The wedding is going to happen here and tomorrow. Remember to be there else there is no wedding. I had booked a cab for you. It is not a good idea for me to join you", he said. I nodded my head. I was ready already.I have to be there at Dane's wedding to my sister. The fate couldn't be any more cruel. It hurt me like hell to adjust to the prospect that my husband is going to get

The thing about mistake is that we don't have a desire to undo it constantly but I didn't feel that way. Sleeping with Dane might be a bad choice on my part but I never regret a second that I spent with him. I would do it all over again if given another chance. But I shall remain silent. My thoughts never should come out of my head. It must stay there safe and silent. Even after I insulted Dane he being a gentleman had gone to fetch me fresh clothes. I stay there waiting for him to get the clothes. He must have ordered it through the hotel. But it still hadn't come. So he had gone there to check what happened to my dress. He might have fired somebody too if the hotel was his.I heard a knock and Dane came through. I stayed there very still. All my instincts said to go towards him. My emotions were over the top plus the amazing sex we had destroyed any small amount of self-control I used to have."Here is your dress", he said putting it on the bed."Can you give me some privacy?", I as
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 235 Settling the score
"I'm sorry for hurting you. I want us both to move on for the sake of Angel. You are also getting married to my sister. Let us end this please. What do you want in return for it?", I asked him."I want you to give me back every kiss I gave you. Then I will forget you and move on", he said."Fine. I have a condition too. I want you to give me back every kiss I gave you as well. So that we can settle the score", he said."Done", he said. I was the one who charged at him he bent down the kiss me. We kissed each other like there was no tomorrow. His tongue duelling with mine. I gasped when he bit my lips hard enough that it hurt. I bit him too drawing blood. He chuckled when he heard me growl. You better stop provoking me. I said in my mind.His hands cupping my boobs. I moaned when his hands tore my expensive dress. I didn't bother to put aside the tattered dress. It lied crumpled on the ground. I stood there in my undergarments. He removed a single boob from the constraints of my bra. H

"You can't let go of me right? You wanted to play me even after leaving me. I just played you back", he said with tight eyes."It wasn't any game Heidi loves you. She asked my help I gave it to her. I have no other interest in you", I said to him."Is that so? Then why are you on a date with me? How does it help your sister?", he asked me crossing his arms."I'm doing what I'm told. You said you will leave me alone after this date", I reminded him."I said and you listened. Things are that easy for you? Our life together didn't matter to you isn't that right? You couldn't endure a life with a handicap so you left me. But still you are here they are right what goes around comes around", he said."Why do you ask me to this date? Is it to torture me?", I asked him."No. I'm on this date to say you goodbye. You might have meddled with my life a lot. But after today you won't do anything like that ever again. I wanted to destroy you initially but then I realised that you are also mother of

"And what do you think?", I asked him."I know my feelings never died for you", he said thoughtfully."You are only saying this to punish me", I said."Why would I want to punish you?", he asked me."Because I left you three years ago", I said."It is correct that you left me. I don't think I can ever forgive you for that. But that doesn't mean that I had lost my feelings for you", he said."I think you want to bed me that is why you are talking about the feelings all of a sudden", I said."I would always want to bed you. I'm attracted to you physically and mentally. I will always want sex from you. Even when we are both a hundred years old", he said."I don't want you", I shot back at him."I realised that three long years ago. But that hadn't deterred me from wanting you like a Madan", said he."You shouldn't say such stupid things. I have used you in the past and disregarded you as it suited me", I lied to him."I got that. It still hurts. I thought you were in love with me", he sa

"You look beautiful", said Charlie carrying my daughter on her hip."Thanks", I murmured putting on the necklace.My open-sleeve dress had so many boob's that I was sure Dane would drool. I knew the game that I was playing is a dangerous one for both parties. It was like fighting with a sword that has no pommel. It can cut both."Is this some kind of a reminder for him? To have an idea of what he missed?", she asked me."I'm only getting ready for the date as he asked me to. That is all there it is. A single date where we will behave like it was the first time I'm seeing him walking", I said."You mean like while you were married to him", she said."Yes for a single date. But there won't be anything beyond that. He is going to get married soon to my sister. She had already told me that it is OK. Dane said that this date night is all he is asking in return for leaving me alone. I have nothing more to ask for from Dane and he will only get what he asked", I said."That is going to be to

I have decided to give him what he want. I know it will be a lie to confess that it is something that he only he wants. I want that too. A date that we missed three years ago. I couldn't help but imagine what would have happened if I hadn't met Enzo that day. I want to see him walk towards me for the first time again. He would have been romantic and flirty with me all night. We would have ended that night early each of us eager to go home. So that we could celebrate together at night.I was very nervous. Something inside my mind warned me from going through with Dane's idea. It is not only a worst idea but the after math of the said date would be incomprehensible. I won't be able to forget and move on while he ends this fantasy of date. I would be left with broken pieces of my heart.I called Charlie for clarity. I doubt she has anything new to supply. I already know consequences of my decision even though it doesn't make a difference to me.She picked on the first ring. She had alrea
