CHAPTER 78 - MY PAIN
POV: PATRICK
We 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,”

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

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

POV: ELISABETHPatrick's phone kept ringing, and my head pounded with each echo of the ringtone. I groaned, pulling my legs off him and nudging him to wake up.“Patrick... your phone...” I grumbled, turning to the other side, only to be wrapped in his spooning embrace again, his legs intertwined with mine.“Let it ring. I don't want to deal with anything today,” he said sleepily.“Stop being a baby. It could be important about the publisher.” I stroked his strong arms, snuggling deeper into his secure and warm embrace.“Doing that won't convince me to get up and answer it,” Morgan chuckled. “It could be those vultures from the newspaper wanting a statement.”“All the more reason to get up. We can't let Heloise ruin Biel's gift.” I kept a serious tone. “Let's do it for him!”
THE CEO AND THE APPRENTICE CHAPTER 83 - BEYOND THE BATH
POV: PATRICKI waited for my provocative and sensual apprentice to enter the bathroom before opening the door, finding Greg impatient, with an enormous commotion on his face.“Speak up, what else happened in my little hell?” Despite my friend's tension, I smiled, amused.“Are you in a good mood? Great.” He rolled his eyes. “I'm glad you've relaxed, but now you need to get your head straight. Heloise wants to make another announcement directly attacking Elisabeth!”“Heloise wouldn't dare!” I clenched my fists in anger, looking towards the bathroom. “Tell me she doesn't have any evidence or anything to use against Lis.”“Unfortunately, she does. Apparently, Heloise got reports of the physical abuse Mrs. Elisabeth suffered.” Greg had a furrowed brow, sighing heavily. “It would be easier to just kill her and dump her in
THE CEO AND THE APPRENTICE CHAPTER 84 - I ACCEPT!
“You are spectacular, apprentice,” I murmured, biting my way back up and feeling her trembling body. “Turn around for me.”I held her by the neck from behind, wrapping my arm under her breasts and filling my hands with her soft, rosy-tipped fullness. I moved close to her ear:“Now, spread your legs and arch for me!” I said it hoarsely in her ear. Like a good apprentice, Elisabeth did as she was ordered.She threw her butt back, arching her back slightly. Still holding her by the neck, I bit behind her ear and down her nape and back, supporting her buttocks with my hands and spreading them. I rubbed my erection from back to front, feeling her gasp and squirm, subtly swollen in her warm, latent intimacy. I plunged just the tip, then pulled out to grab the vibrator from the floor.“What are you up to now?” Lis asked breathlessly over her shoulder.I smiled mischievously, turning on the vibrator.&
THE CEO AND THE APPRENTICE CHAPTER 85 - LET THE WORLD KNOW
POV: ELISABETHHeading towards the publishing house, Patrick, despite maintaining an erect posture, showed evident signs of tension in his body. His sighs were noticeable, as were the beads of sweat forming on his forehead, even in the cold Seattle weather.“It’s going to be okay,” I whispered to reassure him. “You’re Patrick Morgan; no one can bring you down.”He nodded, turning back to stare out the window in silence. What didn’t Patrick want me to see?As we arrived at the entrance of the publishing house, protesters were camped out front. I jumped in my seat, startled, when an egg was thrown at the car window. The CEO held my hands, gently squeezing them to calm me. Amid the shouts and insults accusing him, I heard some people saying:“Coward, pervert, woman abuser!” shouted the protesters. “Justice for Miss Heloise Forbs.”

“We went down to the area set up for the press. The number of journalists present was more than double the last time, with some representatives from international channels. I began to feel nervous, worried about what Morgan would reveal. This was all on a very large scale, and his statement would define the fate of the publisher.When Patrick Morgan took the stage, the noise ceased, and everyone patiently awaited his statement:“Good morning, everyone,” he said, standing tall, his voice firm, and his eyes piercing like an eagle's. “I will start my statement. Questions will only be answered at the end of the announcement. If any journalist interrupts, they will be removed, and their questions will go unanswered.”Everyone whispered before falling silent again as the CEO cleared his throat.“I was abroad, in remote lands. As is widely known, I do volunteer work in lo
