STONE HEARTED C.E.O 1 Pushover
I nervously tug at the beautiful dress that I was wearing. It gave me Cinderella vibes. It was the first time I wore anything pretty and put on some real make-up. I never got the point of dressing up for high school when what should we be doing was studying hard. My step-sister Heidi will never agree with me since she would rather lather up her face for hours than study for a few minutes. I was tall for a girl and I sometimes towered over short boys. But Heidi on the other hand was a curvy type. My best friend Charlie once referred to Heidi as Kim Kardashian and me as Zendaya. Though Kim has a big booty it's Zendaya one would call cute. Zendaya is much cuter than me and looked nothing like plain looking me. The only common thing between us was we shared African heritage from my mom's side but my dad was white. I don't remember my mom much I was a small child when she died. My father married Ella a few months later. He said it was to look after me. But it was me who looked after my da
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 2 Breaking the news
I stood in the cramped room with my stepmother who was trying to show some emotions on her Botox face but she couldn't. "Who will break the news to Mr Wellington?", said my dad nervously. I felt bad for him. I knew he liked to have Mr Wellington to be his son-in-law. Damn her for putting us through all this. " I will tell him", I said wanting to ease his distress. "You will tell him in front of everyone? You are a stupid girl. Bring him here we will tell him ourselves. He may even agree to postpone the wedding Heidi said she will return soon", said my stepmother. I sighed she might be drunk or high. There was no way he will agree to marry Heidi again. I walked towards the room where the groom was getting ready. I gently knocked on the door. I heard a faint come in. I saw him working on a laptop he looks ready but this wasn't how one spends his wedding day. Doesn't he ever get nervous if I was him I would be before the mirror giving myself a pep talk. " You want something?", he ra
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 3. Wedding
I walked towards the crowd my knees were practically knocking together. I was never a crowd person. I always dreamt about my wedding. I used to always see myself wearing pretty gowns and walking towards the love of my life with a smile. But that day is today except I'm getting married to the love of my sister's life. It was she who should have been in my place I had no idea what had forced her to take off. But seeing the face of my future husband was giving me some ideas. He is not ugly don't mistake me. He is a very handsome man. He can go to a Vogue photo shoot and land himself a modelling gig if he wanted. But he won't because his worth is much more than vogue. He rarely graces any interviews no one knows about him much. He was adopted and his adoptive family was poor too. Whatever he had become it was by his blood and sweat. His adoptive parents are here by the way but I have no complaints against them. They are the sweetest in-laws that Heidi could ask for. But I once heard that
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 4 Best Man
I knew that I had fallen further into his eyes. He might have hated my sister but it won't be anything compared to how he feels about me. It is not every day the groom gets jilted. It had happened to him once and the second time he was on that verge. It is not something that will be easily forgiven. People are far more curious as to what must have caused the younger sister to run away. If I had run like her too then his reputation would have been in tatters. I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. I have managed to save my family but landed myself in deep shit. He hadn't looked at me for a long time. He tries to ignore the fact that he has a bride next to him most of the time. "Hey smile", said the photographer to me. He didn't say the same to Dane because he must look dashing even if he scowls. I passed a smile on my face. But it looked as though I was being forced to do it. The photographer didn't care though he clicked away the pictures just as happy as I was sad. I missed my
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 5 Possession
I had a peaceful and quiet life except for some of Heidi's meltdowns. I remember once she denied that I shouldn't get to celebrate my birthday since it is a week before hers. She was afraid that I will steal her thunder. I didn't care. I was never one for crowded parties. I celebrated them quietly with Charlie and Jeff. Jeff thinking about him is slicing my heart into two. He will know the truth soon. I had no explanation to give him. He loved me so much and I dreamt of being his wife. I had never asked for anything but a small family for me and Jeff. "It is time for the wedding feast", said Tom my father-in-law. I walked with them. I noticed that Dane was not there. I wondered where he had gone. He was kind of concerned about appearances and he was missing the biggest one. "Emm where is Dane?", I asked curiously. "You know how he is. He is taking some calls probably from his office. You have to regulate him dear. He does not care about his health at all. He is always working", said
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 6 Goodbye
We kept our fighting to the bare minimum after that. Maybe that was because we were never left alone. His parents and Jake were always with us. We could hardly fight before them. It was a win-win situation for me because without them I would have hit my husband or worse I would have fallen apart. Both of them could cause everyone deep embarrassment. Well not everyone my husband would hardly feel anything. He was ice cold, Stone-hearted there is nothing that could melt him. My sister had dodged a bullet. He didn't care for her not even an iota of what she must have felt for her. So it is good for her that she decided a bad gown must have stopped her from making a permanent bad decision. "Tell your goodbyes", said Dane. I flicked a glance at him. I refused to be intimidated by this cold monster. "I have no one here to say goodbye to", I said. It was the truth. These people are strangers to me. They are all Heidi's friends and relatives. None of them had been kind to me. They all resent
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 7 New home
Home is not what I would call his place. It is big and beautiful. It is grand like a palace. I wanted to hate the place so bad. But it's beauty is be witching me."Breathtaking isn't it?", asked him as if echoing my thoughts."It is OK", I admitted with a grudge."Atleast you won't have a complaint about the place you are about to live", he pointed out cheerfully."This is not my home", I said."Then you better start change your mind", he replied with a shrug.I wanted to answer him. I wanted to scathe him with my words. But I couldn't think of anything to say to that. The reality is that I had lost my home. Going back to the place was not even an option for me anymore. I will be thrown out of my ear by Ella. Not to mention it will be the breach of the contract I signed with my husband. I still remember with clarity how I signed the agreement before marriage. It was like signing a divorce paper even before getting married. I will not fully cooperate with him. No matter what he says. B

"Hi Babe", said Jeff. Instead of being yelled at Jeff was sounding too happy. This put me in another dilemma. I'm the one who is breaking this news to him. I'm going to hurt sweet Jeff as mocked by Heidi. He is not just sweet warm, considerate man which her fiance never was. Even if her fiance had become my husband."You there Babe. I was going to call. The meeting went well. I got the loan. How was the wedding? Sorry I missed it", said Jeff."Tell me something. Are you angry at me for missing it? But you said it was fine", he hesitated."No I'm not angry. Though I wish I missed it too", I said."Oh baby. I understand you don't have to stay there anymore. I had already talked to a realtor we can move into our dream home but you have to give me the garage for start up", he said merrily."I left my home," I said trying control the shiver in my voice."Ziva are you OK? What happened?", he asked concerned."Heidi ran away from wedding. I had to stand in for her. I had no choice. I'm sorry

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
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 238 Interference
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

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
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
