STONE HEARTED C.E.O 222 Courage for telling the truth
I don't know what I should do. I have to go back. When I go back there will be Enzo waiting for me to destroy my happiness. Now it is tied to one more person I care about more than anything in this world my world my daughter. I don't know how could I save her life. To save her I would have to stay back but I knew that Dane will not allow me this. He wants us back home. He wants his daughter to be on his side. I can't blame him. He was deprived of his daughter all this time. But the price I have to pay for going home is the life of my ex-husband and perhaps my daughter too."What have you decided?", asked Jasmine."I don't know. Dane wants me to go back. But it is not possible Enzo could hurt him and Angel if I ever returned." Then tell him that ", Said Jasmine." I can't say anything. Telling him the truth means confessing the fact that I left him because Enzo threatened to kill him. That would hurt Heidi's chances to be with Dane", I said."Who cares? It is not like she didn't know

"She ended the call", I said."That was expected but it is not her we are calling. Why is Dane not picking up the phone?", she asked me."I don't know", I told her."Maybe he is in the shower", said Jasmine.I tried not to think of them both in the same room. I was getting hurt as it is. I need no more pain in my head and heart."She is a bitch after all you did for her. Look at what she does in return", said Charlie."It is OK Charlie. She couldn't take the fact that I was going to tell him the truth. She will come around", I told her."No, she will never come around. You better tell him in person before she does something else", warned Charlie."I will wait Dane hadn't left yet. So he will visit me again. I don't want to go and hunt for him", I told them."Fine if that is what you want but be wary of her. She might be planning something. She is just like that old witch", said Charlie."Even if she tries anything she can't do it. There is only one option for me now which is to inform
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 224 calculative
I was feeling very disturbed now. I didn't want to hurt Heidi no matter what I told her on the phone. I had no intention to take Dane back irrespective of what she was thinking. Dane is now hers. I had made peace with that decision. All I want right now is my daughter. I can't let Dane take her away from me. No matter how much bad I was as a mother and wife. I don't deserve to be away from my daughter. I will fight for her. I will fight for Angel with anyone even the love of my life."Stop sighing too much", said Charlie."I was thinking of his reaction", I said with fear."Why? You don't have to. He will pick you up in princess style and throw you inside his luxury car and drive away never looking back", said Charlie."What are you saying?", I asked with a frown."I was giving a recap of what is going to happen", she said."That won't happen", I said in protest."Mark my words that is what going to happen and I will you I told you so", said Charlie.I was tempted to get away from her

I was shocked but not because of Enzo. I already knew this. He was alive and he threatened me to leave Dane. Otherwise, he said he would end Dane's life. So I left. I was going to confess it to him. But now there wasn't any need for that. Dane knew somehow that Enzo was alive. He wanted me to be alert. I was still very confused. How did he know?"Heidi confessed to me that she knew about Enzo three years ago. She says he just came to talk to her. He didn't say much just to stay put of his way", said Dane."Is that so?", I asked him. So Heidi said it before I could tell the truth. Now Dane knows the truth but only half of it. She hadn't told him that I was with her that day. We made a decision together for me to leave. Maybe she wanted to protect herself and stop Dane from renewing our relationship. I'm not going to ruin her plans though. I just want him to know the truth behind my denial to return home. So that he stop forcing me to return. I can't let him damage my friend's livelihoo
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 226 Meet up
I carefully selected my dress. I didn't have much collection now thanks to my reclusive life here. I go out with my friends sometimes but there is no nightlife like that of America. This is an Arab country but u promise you that you won't regret moving here because of one thing food. You can munch on lots of delicious food. If you have an African palette like me you will fit here just fine.The heat would sometimes kill you but then there are pretty good things you are going to love in here. They have the best buildings in the world here and the oil is so cheap you would feel like it had no value. I applied makeup after a long time. I knew despite all the efforts I would still be insulted by Heidi but I don't wish to lose my confidence by going underdressed while she is going to be impeccable now that she had Dane's money at her disposal."Don't go she is going to entrap you somehow", said Charlie."I know all her tricks by now. I wonder what she wants to say. I promise you I won't fa

"You want to know my response?", I asked her."Yes. Of course why else would I ask you?", she asked me with a smug grin.The rage consumed me. I didn't know what I was doing I took the glass of water before me and threw it on her shocked face.Her face showed disbelief at first since she didn't expect me to do it. Then she shrieked trying to wipe her face with the paper towel."You will regret this", she screamed at me."I already regret meeting you here. Can you even imagine the headache I'm feeling right now? I had bought this upon myself my friends warned me that this won't end well", I said."Your friend that lesbian who has no idea of a man", scoffed she.She had a pretty good idea of a man and she was happy and content with being a woman."I have to go since I have a lot of work to do. But you on the other hand can sit here and contemplate the shitty choices you make every day in life that determines you are a bad soul", said I."You aren't that perfect either. You gave me your

A Promise is a promise despite giving it to him my heart was still beating very fast. I knew that it is not going to end well. But what choice I had? Dane had given his word that he will never separate me and my daughter. I trust him. Even after I did something so terrible he still finds in his heart to forgive me. I'm not holding him accountable for moving on with my sister. I was the one who planned the whole thing just so he didn't have to spend the rest of his life alone. Heidi despite having many flaws loves Dane in her way.I got my daughter ready. She hardly looked affected by the change that had happened in her life. She was a baby with zero tantrums always. These days I could sense that she misses Dane when he is not around. I saw him looking outside when she heard the voice of a guy. It hurt me when I saw her disappointed face. I didn't want her to lose her heart like I did mine. But she didn't have to worry about getting replaced in his heart like me. I don't think anyone c
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 229 Loyalty
I was happier than anything in this world and I got it from watching my daughter and her father smile and laugh together. I didn't wish to see them apart anymore. I made a big mistake by separating them. We visited Disney land and beaches. I saw my daughter experiencing a real bond with her father. He was unaware of everything except my daughter. His attitude had completely changed. He wasn't a stone-hearted CEO while he was with Angel. Now we were sitting on a beach. I saw sweat glistening from his body. It was a very beautiful sight. I was wearing a short dress here. Bikini wasn't allowed here like the Western country. We all practise modesty to a great extent and you sometimes could get arrested for wearing certain dresses. But it wasn't the same for men though."What are you thinking?", asked Dane sitting down with me."Nothing I was just thinking about how much happy she looks while she is with you", I said honestly."Maybe I can make her happy better", he said."You are right",

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

"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
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 231 Weighing everything
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
