THE POSSESSIVE CEO 62 OUR LITTLE PRINCE
ZORENIt was already past two in the morning when I was startled from my uncomfortable sleep on the couch when someone pushed the door open, and two nurses came in, pushing a stretcher, followed by Zachary, Jason, and Alex.I quickly get up and look at the person on the stretcher, and my eyes widen. It's Athena. It's really her. The hospital staff brought an extra bed into the room, and Athena was quickly transferred. "Why is she covered with bruises?" I asked after the nurses left.""Dylan was beating her when we arrived. I don't know what will happen to her if we arrive late." Jason replied."Who is she?" Zachary asked—the question I dreaded to hear."Let's rest first, okay? Let's talk tomorrow. Athena can tell you her side of the story of what happened six years ago, and we can tell ours, too, because we also don't know what happened to her six years ago. We know that she died six ago. We buried her. She even has her grave in the cemetery. We don't know that she is alive.***ZACHA
THE POSSESSIVE CEO 63 I DON'T WANT TO BE A BAD BOY
ZACHARY I kissed his cheek and sadly smiled at him. I felt bad knowing he didn't experience the care of his parents because of Dylan, and I wanted to kill the guy."He also told me that I am not allowed to be carried. I should walk. I don't remember someone carrying me since I started walking because bad Dylan would tell me I was a bad boy if I asked him to carry me. So even though I was exhausted whenever he brought me outside, I didn't ask him to carry me because I didn't want to be a bad boy. Only Mama carries me when I visit her, but it seldom happens because bad Dylan doesn't allow me. After all, he said Mama has a contagious disease." I looked up at the ceiling to stop my tears from falling, and I could tell my father was also holding his tears."Dylan, you bastard. I'll make sure you'll rot in prison.""Forget what he told you. You are not a bad boy if you ask someone to carry and feed you. Starting today, Papa will always carry and feed you because you are a prince, and a prin
THE POSSESSIVE CEO 64 SIX YEARS AGO
I took a deep breath calming myself. "Six years ago, when Zachary had a business meeting out of town for two days and one night, he asked me to do whatever I wanted while he was away. He told me that when we were already married, I couldn't do it alone anymore because he would always stick by my side. So when he leaves with Jason and Alex, I first go to the spa, but I meet Winter there. Back then, I don't remember her as well as Dylan." I paused and took a breath again."They pretended they were my friends the first time I met them.""What? And you didn't tell us?" Jason asked, annoyed. "I'm sorry. I didn't think that they were planning something. I kept it because they said Zachary doesn't want me to be around them.""Because those two always have a hidden agenda," Zachary commented. I lowered my head in shame for being stupid back then."Whenever I eat alone outside the company when Zachary has a lunch meeting, they are there. I'm so stupid not to notice it back then. I thought it w
THE POSSESSIVE CEO 65 GRANDMA
ZACHARYI sighed and turned my eyes to Athena, who was now sleeping soundly. Hesitantly, I ran my fingers through her hair. It looks foreign but feels familiar. Everything about her felt familiar, even her scent, the feel of her arms around me. It's so familiar that I always wanted her arms wrapped around me. I think I loved this woman so much back then. I smiled and pressed my lips on her forehead but quickly pulled away, embarrassed when someone suddenly pushed the door open."Papa, did you kiss Mama?" I awkwardly scratch my nape, embarrassed. I felt like I was caught red-handed for doing things I shouldn't. I took him from Jason's arm, who was wearing a teasing smile on his lips, but I ignored it."You can leave now and do your thing. If you need me to sign any documents, you can bring them here.""Okay, sir." He said, smirking. "See you later, Nathan. I need to go to work. Rest so that you'll get well fast.""Okay, Uncle. Bye-bye.""Bye, little one." I glared at him when he gave me
THE POSSESSIVE CEO 66 I DREAM OF YOU
ZACHARYI snapped my eyes away from the paper I was reading when a knock at the door came. I went back to my work just this morning. I have lots of work that were pending for my absence. Jason did some of it, but some needed to be done by me."Come in!" I called out and resumed reading the document I was holding."Papa!!! I quickly looked up and smiled to see Nathan and Athena entering the door. I chuckled when he ran to me and wrapped his arms around me. "Why are you here?" I asked, smiling, then picked him up and settled him on my lap. "We brought you lunch." He grinned and kissed my cheeks. I smiled at Athena, who set the food they brought on the center table. I stood up, carrying Nathan in my arms, and went to her and kissed her forehead."Nathan wanted to see you. He said he missed you and kept asking me to visit you.""You miss me already?" I just left this morning." I ask, poking his nose. He giggled, then buried his face in my neck."Yes, I missed playing with you, papa.""We
THE POSSESSIVE CEO 67 FIRST COURT HEARING
Zachary Today is the first court hearing. We are sitting in the court hall together with my parents. Athena is sitting on my right, Nathan is on my lap, and Alex is on my left as Athena's lawyer. My parents are sitting in the chair behind us.Dylan and his father are sitting on the row of seats opposite us. He was throwing us a death glare and smirk once in a while. He looks confident, as if he already knows he will win.They already took their oath earlier, and now the hearing will start. Athena is the first to tell her story, and she told the court everything that happened six years ago until we rescued her.Dylan was calm while Athena was talking. He even looks uninterested in it. He never interrupted until she ended talking. Then Nathan was called to support all Athena's allegations. We don't want him to be in here, but we don't find any witnesses, and he's the only one who can support his mother's story.Alex walked him to the witness stand. I'm so proud of him. He looks so brav
THE POSSESSIVE CEO 68 WINTER IS ALIVE
ATHENA"Very well said, Dylan." I looked at the woman, trying to figure out who she was, but her hoodie and cap covered her face."Miss, who are you? You are not allowed here." The guards said and grabbed her wrist to pull her out of the courtroom, but she struggled with his hold. "I want to testify against Dylan Lee. I know what happened from the very beginning. I know everything." I gasped. Someone comes to help us. I looked at Zachary, and he had the same surprised and hopeful look. "Send her away. I don't know her. Someone might pay her to testify against me." Dylan snarled, but I could hear the fear in his voice. The woman yanked her arms away from the guard and pulled the hoodie and cap off her head."You don't know me?" I gasped when the woman showed her face to us. I will never forget that face, even though her right cheek has a scar."Winter?" Zachary muttered, looking at me with a surprised look in his eyes. I looked at Dylan; his face was now pale, and fear in his eyes."W
THE POSSESSIVE CEO 69 SHE'S YOUR DAUGHTER
"She just made up all of those stories. She is a liar. She wants money from me." Dylan said, still denying all the allegations against him. "Then why do you hide Miss Park and let everyone believe she is dead," Alex asked."It's her idea, not mine." He denied. "And this woman is lying. They are lying." Dylan screamed and rushed to Winter, but the guards caught him before he could touch her. Let me go, let me go. I'm not guilty of all their accusations. They are lying. The judge shook his head."Mr. Dylan Lee is guilty of multiple murders and kidnapping and will have life imprisonment." The judge said, standing up from his seat. "No!!! They are lying!!! He screamed, struggling as the guards dragged him out of the courtroom. His father followed behind him with tears in his eyes. Winter went to us and bowed her head."I'm so sorry for everything. I'm so stupid, and my love for him blinded me. I didn't 'mind that all the things I was doing were already wrong because all I wanted back the

THE POSSESSIVE CEO 73 EPILOGUE
ZACHARY"Come in," I called out when a knock at the door came. "Papa!! I quickly looked up from the paper I was signing with a smile when I saw Nathalie step inside the door with Athena behind her."What is my little princess doing here?" I stood up from my seat, and she quickly hugged my legs. I picked her up and peppered her face with kisses, and her giggles filled my office.I walked to my wife, who was smiling, looking at us, and wrapped one arm around her waist and pecked her lips. We've been married for five years, but it still feels like the first time. My love for her never lessened as the years passed by. Our love for each other keeps getting stronger.I now recover all my memories in the past, and it made me laugh remembering it, as well as regret doing those things to her."Papa, I missed you. That's why I asked Mama to visit you." "You missed me, but we just saw each other this morning, and it is just three in the afternoon," I said, walking to the couch. I settled on the
THE POSSESSIVE CEO 72 PREGNANT
ATHENA I groaned when I opened my eyes the following day. My head is pounding, and my body aches. Zachary and Nathan are still sound asleep beside me."I checked the time and groaned again to see it was only six in the morning. It's too early for me to wake up. Usually, during the weekend, we get up from bed at ten, I wanted to go back to sleep, but with the pounding of my head, I'm sure I couldn't do it."Babe, Babe!" I softly shook Zachary not to wake our son, who was softly snoring between us."Hmm!!! He hummed, then opened his eyes but suddenly sat up, startling our sleeping son."Papa!!! He whined and snuggled back on his pillow. "Sorry little prince." He planted a kiss on his forehead and then faced me."Love, what happened? Why is your face so pale? He stood up from the bed and went beside me. Nathan, who was drifting back to sleep, sat up this time rubbing his tired eyes when he heard the worry on his father's face and then looked at me "Mama, are you sick?" He moved closer t
THE POSSESSIVE CEO 71 I'M NATHAN HER SON
ATHENA"Mama!" I quickly looked behind me, startled, and Nathan glared at me. I didn't notice that he already come together with his father to pick me up. I'm currently outside the school gate talking with my classmate while waiting for them, and I saw Zachary parked not far away from us. I returned to school one year after our wedding to finish my studies. Zachary was against it, saying that he could provide for me and our son our whole life. He said that the profession I should be learning is to be a good mother and wife for him, especially in bed." I smacked him after seeing the smirk on his lips, earning a chuckle from him.After lots of hugging, kissing, and lovemaking, he finally gave in for me to go back to school, but he had another idea for me to just homeschooled together with our son. This possessive guy never failed to amuse me. He said there are lots of young and good-looking guys at school, and he isn't young like them anymore and is not as attractive to them. I couldn't
THE POSSESSIVE CEO 70 THE WEDDING
FIVE MONTHS LATERATHENAI smiled, watching my reflection in the mirror. All I could see was a woman who was content with what she had. Her eyes smiled in happiness, and she looked radiant and beautiful. All she wished for come true. She has a loving man's soon-to-be husband beside her. She has a sweet son, a loving mother and father-in-law soon, a brother, and friends. She has nothing to ask for. She got everything she wanted. Her life is complete, and her heart is content. I'm blessed to have met him that day, even though he was a bully initially, but I wouldn't change any of it because we won't be where we are right now if those things never happened. "Mama, you are so pretty, like a Princess." Nathan grinned in my soon father in law arms. Everyone carried him constantly, which he had longed for before. "Thank you. You are handsome like a prince as well." He is wearing a black tuxedo that fits him perfectly, a red bow tie, and shiny black shoes, and his hair is sleek back. He lo
