STONE HEARTED C.E.O 37 Price of action
I'm incredibly happy that my presentation went well and it was approved by the committee. I know I had treated Hana pretty bad. I wasn't as good as I claim to be. But I had to choose between being a good person and doing the right thing so I chose the latter. Maybe my hard hearted billionaire husband is rubbing off me. Who knows? Maybe I like being this wicked person. I don't mind it if I have to be wicked so that I can do good deeds. I said goodbye to my friends. But Charlie's words were ringing in my ears. She said I had changed. Is this an indication I have indeed changed? Was I becoming more ruthless than my husband? I have no answers only a dozen queries.I went straight to home. My friends asked me to go with them to a party somewhere. But I knew Fathima wouldn't approve. It is not just that I wouldn't go to a party even if I'm caught dead. The only person who had successfully dragged me to a party was Charlie. I do miss her especially now. I may have success but no one to celeb

I'm counting hours so that I can meet him. I know it sounds a bit overzealous but you don't get to have hot sex with a billionaire sex God every now and then,who also happens to be my husband. Fate must have thrown some cruel tragedies at me but yet it was so benevolent when it comes to my husband. He is generous enough to buy me best of comforts including subscription from countless streaming platforms. I'm more than indebted to him. He had really saved me from marrying a guy I don't love and also gave me a job without a boring moment. A woman would hardly be happy as me at the moment. It seems I have it all.I was whistling while I walked to my office. Even Janine was pleased with my sunny disposition. I know I was moody and crabby lately because of Charlie but I would like to believe that Dane was given to me because I lost Charlie. I think fate didn't want to give me both afraid that it might go to my head. It already has gone to my head. I now wore my wedding band proudly. Otherw

I have fallen from highest of the high to the lowest of the low. I didn't want to go to his home. I was replaying the video I saw earlier on my mind. I was so exhausted. It looked as though he was so comfortable with her. The way he caught her was repulsing me. It was like I'm being thrown to an ice cold water to wake up from deep sleep. I was dreaming with my eyes open there is no way else I believed a man used to be with Heidi would want me. She was beautiful rightfully curvy unlike me. I was no Zendaya just a mixed race girl. I would never be Hollywood attractive like my sister.Janine saw me and could sense something was wrong but she didn't say anything. My heart was shattering into a million pieces I could hear the sound. When I reached home I refused coffee from Fathima. She frowned and lamented at my lack of care on appetite. I didn't reply I left her talking to herself. I just can't do this right now. I'm so fucked up. Being betrayed my husband and more importantly my siste

I was such a fool. I had slept with him even after knowing that he had been with Heidi. I'm sure they are going to laugh behind my back for my idiocy. I winced when I tried to move. It do hurt a lot unlike shown in movies. I don't ever want to do it again. But it is not a problem for me because I won't be inviting my husband in my room ever again. I heard the bathroom door open and instantly I was on my guard. I know he will try to seduce me again. I should never ever trust him with my heart and body again. He came to stand before me as if to attract my attention. If he thinks I'm not aware of him he is heavily mistaken."I'm sorry if it hurts. Why did you lie that you are not a Virgin?", he asked me tenderly. He must have noticed my blood on his thighs. I didn't tell him. He assumed I was lying about my virginity. All I did was to agree with him. Even if I did tell the truth I'm sure he wouldn't have believed me. He touched my arm and I froze. I can't allow him to touch me. I can't
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 41 Insight
The week followed our fierce fight was followed by extreme silence. I was afraid he would bang on the door next night. But he had retreated and never came back. I should be relieved that he decided to leave me alone. But instead it made me more agitated. He is not in my bed room meant the was visiting my sister. That was the only thing haunting my mind. I was afraid that it would drive me insane. My husband on the other hand stayed far away from me that can be possible in this big house. Fathima was the silent spectator of our cold war. She disapproved as always.Unlike other times I was sure that every maid who lives in the house might have heard the shouting went on in my room that night. But every one acted as though they are blissfully unaware of the situation. It only broke once or twice because Dane lost his temper over his misplaced keys. He even threatened to fire a maid over bringing him black coffee when he asked for tea. Everyone knew he never drank tea Fathima was the

Jake came and went like a breeze. It does give you a refreshment for a few seconds but then it would be gone. Both of us returned to our normal routine. I wanted to talk to him, try and improve our relationship but he is not interested at all. When ever I went to talk to him he avoids me as though I'm plague. It did hurt me initially but then it made me only resentful. I went to my work religiously. My sister is still not present I think she is at Coachella at the moment from watching her videos. If Irene had issues she didn't show it. When I reached home I saw Jake waiting for me. He was watching football. I was elated to see him. He also became my friend simply because he had been nice to me."It is a pleasant surprise to see you", I said greeting him."Good to hear that you are not one of those wives who kick off their husband's friends", he said jovially. I laughed he was so funny."You don't have to worry about that", I answered him."I have informed Dane this timethat I will be

"Charlie is coming?", asked Janine suddenly. I smiled it had been a while since we really talked. The last time I invited her home I had behaved poorly to her. I was basically cock blocking them. I wanted to do a little better now. But this evening it was a friend ship thing so I wondred whether it would be wise to call her too."We are just going to hang out and talk about things" I said mildly but if she wants to see Charlie I'm not going to deny her."No it is OK. I'm happy that you are hanging out with each other again", said Janine. I can't help but smile at her."Yes. We talked on the phone and it is all good", I said brightly. She nodded at me from the mirror. When I reached home I practically ran to inform Fathima that Charlie is going to be here. She just shrugged that almost said it is about time. I quickly changed and put in my pajamas. I gave her a quick call and she informed me that she was already on the way. I brought out the wine that she likes best. Fathima turned her
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 44 Desire and passion
I was silent the entire ride home. The plan has in fact backfired. If I thought that I would seduce him with my bad moves then I was mistaken. I should know this. He won't like me no matter what I do. The only thing he does is condemn me. I hate him for making me look so pathetic. I felt myself growing angrier because of the way he talked with Jake. What was his problem? If he doesn't want me why even bother with me? He could easily ship me off to my home. Why is making me stay and torturing me? What kind of a sick satisfaction is he deriving at? I have to confront him even though the aspect of facing him is driving a chill down my spine I have to do it. I won't let him walk all over me.I went to his bedroom thanking the lords that Fathima is yet to make her appearance. She is an early sleeper so won't come out unless we throw something at the wall. I have a strong desire to do it. I just barged inside his room like he did mine the other day. No more knocking any pretense of bein

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

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

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
