CHAPTER 73 - CLOSER ENEMIES
“And how exactly do you plan to do that?” I clenched my jaw nervously, watching her enjoy my reactions.
“Oh, my love, I own 50% of the shares, remember?” she hissed, amused.
“40% are yours; your brat has 10%.” I gritted my teeth, enraged, restraining the urge to lunge at her neck and snap it.
“Didn't your secretary inform you this morning?” Putting her hand to her mouth, feigning surprise, she walked over to the desk and sat on the edge, subtly spreading her legs, letting the business skirt ride up a bit, revealing her thighs. “Celdric transferred his part to me!”
“That changes nothing; I don’t need to accept your presence in the merger. We have professional mediators for that.” I ignored her, feeling my phone vibrate. Seeing a message from my sweet Lis, I smiled slightly.
“I see, there's someone

“Yes, I am prepared.” I stared at him firmly. “How long?”“Oh, you businessmen, always concerned with time,” Nathaniel said, shaking his finger as he walked away. “It will take longer than you want and shorter than you imagine.”“That doesn’t answer my question,” I replied.“You’re asking the wrong questions, young man,” the monk answered vehemently.My phone vibrated, indicating a new message from Elisabeth. I opened it, happy to receive a file from her book, and started to reply when the monk stopped and turned to me.“We don’t allow the use of these electronic devices; they corrupt the soul with their noise,” he said, narrowing his eyes and continuing to stare at me until I put the phone away. “Excellent, can we begin?”Days passed.

THE CEO AND THE APPRENTICE CHAPTER 75 - CONTROVERSY
POV: ELISABETH“Several reports continued to appear in the newspapers, along with notifications on my phone. I increased the TV volume upon hearing Patrick's name:“The renowned and youngest CEO, Patrick Morgan, a businessman and owner of Seattle's most respected publisher, SoundStory Press, became embroiled in controversy that divided opinions. An intimate photo surfaced showing him with his ex-wife, skirts lifted, depicting an act clearly not consensual. Miss Heloise Forbs gave statements to the press to clarify the events, shocking the public with her words:'Patrick has always been domineering and possessive; unfortunately, his obsession with me didn't end after our separation. He tried to take control of the Forbs industry, forcing me to unlink my name to protect my dear brothers.' She paused, crying, waving her hand to hold back tears. 'My brother Celdric and I went to SoundStory Press to confront Patrick Morgan, who

THE CEO AND THE APPRENTICE CHAPTER 77 - WHIRLWIND OF EMOTIONS
I walked towards the pool with a bottle of wine in hand, the warm night contrasting with the heavy load of thoughts on my mind. Where could he be? Why wasn't he responding? Had Patrick not realized his empire was crumbling?I nervously bit my lip, sitting at the edge of the pool as I sipped the wine, lost in my thoughts. That bastard had returned, bringing all my traumas and fears with him.“Patrick, you said you would protect me. Where are you?” I whispered to the stars, staring at the sky.Setting the bottle aside, I decided to dive in to relax the tension in my body, my anxious mind racing through various scenarios that quickened my heartbeat. I floated with closed eyes, immersed in my chaotic thoughts. There are so many unanswered questions. Who was Gabriel? Why was Heloise involved in all of this? Could it be true?Conflict after conflict. Why hadn't that damn man tried to kidnap me?
THE CEO AND THE APPRENTICE CHAPTER 78 - MY PAIN
POV: PATRICKWe passed through the creaking gates, and I parked the car at the highest point I could, near the hill. We got out of the car, and Lis looked around nervously. When she glanced at me in shock, I knew the moment had come.“What are we doing at the cemetery?” she asked, bewildered.“I said I would show you my wounds and my greatest pain,” I replied, lowering my head and feeling my chest tighten as her warm hands touched mine.“You don't have to do this if you're not ready.” Elisabeth looked at me with empathy. I smiled slightly, more certain about my choices.“I want to.” I intertwined our hands and guided her to the top tombstone, where I stopped, feeling my stomach churn. My heart ached intensely.“Patrick?” Lis was attentive.“Lis. Meet Gabriel Forbs Morgan, my son,”
THE CEO AND THE APPRENTICE CHAPTER 79 - I’M SORRY
POV: ELISABETHI stroked Patrick's hair as I absorbed his whole story. How could someone wish such harm to their own child? What level of mental problems did Heloise have?Tears streamed down my face, overwhelmed by the pain of the man who smiled so much, never showing the suffering he lived with. I sighed, looking again at Biel's photo and then at the starry sky.“Patrick?” I called in a whisper, still staring at the vast blue sky. “When I was with my ex, I got pregnant. I ran upstairs to tell him, hoping he’d be happy and stop hurting me.It was a thread of hope, you know?”He lifted his head, wiped his eyes, and looked at me intensely.“What happened?” Morgan asked, his voice trembling.“It didn’t go as expected. He thought the child would take up my time, my love. Then he pushed me down the stairs. I remember waking
THE CEO AND THE APPRENTICE CHAPTER 80 - THE LIGHTNESS OF DARING
POV: PATRICKWith my hands in my pockets, I watched Elisabeth run off like a child. I shook my head, smiling. How could she bring so much lightness to this troubled heart?Despite a subtle weakness, I ran after her up the stairs and wrapped my arms around her waist, throwing us onto the bed.“I got you!” I grinned, tickling her as she laughed.“Stop, stop.” Lis laughed.“Say yes, and I'll stop,” I teased.“No. No fair, stop. I can't breathe.” She said this, crying with laughter. “It's not fair, not like this.”“Then say I'm the best boss.” I continued tickling her.“I can't lie,” she joked, laughing and writhing.“Oh really?” I tickled her more.“Alright, you're the best boss in the world,” Lis said, laughing breathlessly, her face completely red.“Now, say I'm the best lover and teacher you've ever had.” I tickled her ribs, pinning her legs with mine. “Say it!”“You're a cheater...” Lis gasped, laughing and trying to catch her breath. “Stop, you're the best lover and teacher. Let me
THE CEO AND THE APPRENTICE CHAPTER 81 - I LOVE YOU
“That's not where I want you to be greedy.” Biting her lips, slightly blushing, she stood in front of me, placing her foot on the headboard of the bed, giving me a beautiful view of her paradise.“Elisabeth, let me taste you,” I whispered, looking up at her as aroused as she was.Tilting her hips forward, I kissed her sensitive spot, trailing my tongue down the side, exploring her lips until I traced the tip along her entrance. Lis trembled, panting, overcome with desire. I dove into her, sucking eagerly, my moans echoing through the room. Elisabeth rubbed her intimacy against my mouth, grinding on my tongue.“Patrick...” She moaned, lost at the moment, as I touched her most sensitive spot, pulling it all into my mouth. “Yes...”Her inner walls tightened around my tongue, squeezing more and more. I felt my erection rise again, completely lost in lust, i
