That One Night, Mr. CEO; A Lifetime Game Trust Me This Once!
MADELYN “Coffee or tea?” I stiffened. I know why she brought me back here. “ Why did you pick this cafe, when there are hundreds of others?” She smiled lightly, her hand rubbing the back of her neck. I noticed how she winced, but I couldn't tell if she was hurt physically, or otherwise. Cara beckoned on a waitress nearby. “ Two cups of grande Mocha please.”I watched quietly. Observing the environs for any signs of danger. So far, it was just I and Cara. Nicholas or Natasha were no where in sight. I heaved a sigh of relief when my eyes met that of Oliver's, one of my guards. If anything should go wrong, he would get to me before a hair on my head is harmed. This sucks! I couldn't even have coffee with my sister without being at alert. In my purse laid a small knife. What is family without trust? “ You should stop acting weird and tensed. Loosen up. Glance around all you want,” her eyes travelled around, and I did same. “ There's no one here, but us. I hav

NICHOLAS. Fear. The one feeling that's present in every human. Even in a monster. It was present in my dad shortly before he died, I saw it in mom's eyes when she got admitted into a mental home. It was the same feeling present that now engulfed my little Ms. Sunshine, Madelyn. After today's meeting, I suspected there was something going on with Cara. For once, I read a person wrongly. I initially thought she was backing out, or perhaps she had gotten tired of her father and I, but, it was something else. Turned out Cara wanted revenge on her sister more than I wanted revenge on her family. Her eyes shone with hate when she told me how much she wanted Madelyn dead. Dead? If I had been the same old person who thought taking revenge revolves around killing a person, I'd have gladly indulged her. But no, I want Madelyn Black to pay twice. She can't do that when she's dead. “ What do you want, Xavier? Or should I say, CEO Nicholas Brightman..” Natasha s

MADELYN As I walked out, Cara and I exchanged glances. Natasha was oblivious of what went on right in her presence. My guards were already outside waiting for me. My car was parked just besides the textile store. They had come in it, while I came in a taxi. “ Let's go.” James held out the door and I climbed in. Once in the safety of my car, I felt relieved. If it had not been in a cafe, Nicholas would have tried to hurt me or take me along with him. 6:50pm. Jason would be searching for me. Speak of the devil, his call came in. “ Where are you, wife?” Where am I? That means he didn't check the tracker. I couldn't possibly tell him that I decided to meet with Cara, neither could I afford to mention that Nicholas came to visit. “ Oh, I just stopped by the park. I needed fresh air and that was the only place I could think of.” No one spoke on the other end. Did he believe that ? Perhaps, he's trying to check the tracker. “ Nichol.. Sorry
That One Night, Mr. CEO; A Lifetime Game We Are Pregnant!
JASON Unsettled, I paced around the waiting room just of outside Madelyn's ward. There was this guilt that filled me. Perhaps it was her fear for me at that moment that brought about this. I thought of many ways where I could have been the cause of her misfortune. At the end, none of them seemed logical, but I was still going to take the blame anyway. This happened because of me. “ Calm down, Jason. The doctor will be out in no time and then we can find out what's wrong with her.” Grandma held my hand and drew me in for a hug. I was scared. Terrified. What if something bad happens? I would livd with the guilt of it till the end of the world. “ Grandma, I.. I hurt her. If I had waited till tomorrow before we talked about her meeting with Nicholas, she would still be very much okay...” The doors flew open with a strong gust of air, and our attention went to the male doctor. It was a critical condition, and I had no choice but to let a male examine her. Madelyn was
That One Night, Mr. CEO; A Lifetime Game Ticket Out Of Hell
GRANDMA LORELEI Seeing the blissful look on Jason's face reminded me of his Dad. This was how Black reacted to the news when he found out his wife was pregnant with Jason. Staring at his pretty face as he helped Madelyn out of the hospital, I realized they were much alike in so many ways one could think of. But Jason never wants to accept it. Not because he doesn't see it or didn't know it, but because he swore never to be like his father. He held a grudge against him till he died. Even after death, Jason still isn't willing to forgive. I used to have the exact same fear he had. That I would never be able to raise my kids in the right way. Black and Caspian were my retribution for how I failed to raise them. I did all I could, but they ended up on the wrong paths. Not financially or morally, but how could two brothers be at loggerheads because of the women in their lives? How could a mere lady come in between them? I failed at parenting. But, Jason was
That One Night, Mr. CEO; A Lifetime Game The Devil Amongst Us
NATASHA'S MOM “ Have you been to the graveyard to see Caspian?” The family doctor Williams, who hasn't contacted me in a while just called and those were the first words he said. “ No, Doctor Williams. I'm about to, why do you ask?” I wasn't only sinning against Heaven, but against Caspian. I wasn't planning on going tonight, but I just couldn't spit out to a stranger that I wasn't going to be at my husband's grave tonight. “ Surprisingly, Black's body has been found. In place of the shallow unmarked grave they had dug in remembrance of him, stands an actual tombstone with his name and date of death on it. His body was never missing, someone hid it.” The phone dropped from my hand to the floor. I was left speechless. Who would have kept Black's body for this long? “ Mrs. Caspian? Are you there? I'm at the Black's family grave yard, you can come over.” I heard a beep indicating the call has been ended. It was so hard to figure this out. I'd

JASON We drove home and I helped Madelyn prepare dinner. She always wanted me to sit around the kitchen and watch her do the cooking when I'm home with her. Its still a surprise she can cook. Most princesses don't know how to. “ I still can't believe we're pregnant, Maddie.” She turns to me and flashes a brief sweet smile before stirring the beef. “ I'm as excited as you Jas. Baby number 8? I be damn excited.” We go on and on discussing what gender it would be and what name we would give our baby. “ We shouldn't have any kids after this one, don't you think?” That's a weird question to ask, but whatever she feels is good for her. We already have a truck full of kids, I'm sure we can't afford to have any. Not financially, but she's been through a lot already. Eight kids? We should put an end to it after this one. “ Whatever is good for you, honey. You know I won't complain. In as much as I want us to have a mansion full of kids, I also

JASON The shower ran freely and the water coursed down my body. I heard a knock on our door and listened to my wife's footsteps towards the direction of the door. “ He's in the shower, but the moment he's out, he will come see you.” She knocked on the bathroom door and announced, “ Grandma wants you downstairs when you are done, she says it's important.” “ Alright, I'll be out in no time.”Several minutes later and a towel hung around my neck as I tried to dry my wet hair. “ We are not even, Jason.” Oh, we are. We are. “ You are wrong, we are. Don't worry, I will come straight to you after the discussion with Grandma. I wouldn't want my pregnant wife to feel sex starved.” “ Whatever.” Grandma sat behind the TV in the living room, with her hands fidgeting. She held my mobile phone tightly, and I caught the look of fear I hadn't seen in years. The last time I saw her this petrified, was the night Dad died. “ Grandma, you called for me..”But,

That One Night, Mr. CEO; A Lifetime Game A Bad Feeling
Madelyn Cara had called me on her way to Nicholas's house. After what Jason had said yesterday, I came to the conclusion that something was wrong. Maybe he had found out who it was that Cara always met with, or perhaps he was going to change the plan. “ I'm sorry. Jason found out on his own, I never told him. He's right beside me, you can ask him yourself.” Cara bellowed, “ I believe you. I and Jason are not best of friends yet, I don't want to to talk to him. Anyways, I will keep you updated on whatever happens at Nicholas's house.” I had a bad feeling, but I couldn't just say it out. I wanted to ask her to come right to us. Why not end this game and seek protection from Jason? I'm sure my husband would do anything I ask of him, even if it included taking my sister in. “ Be safe, Cara. I don't feel good about this.” She tried to lighten my mood. “ Have you eaten? You will feel much better when you eat, Madelyn.” “ You will be pregnant someda

CARA { Warning: Content unsuitable for young readers. This novel is R-18.} Before I could make up my mind about what I was going to do, Nicholas jerked me against him and claimed my mouth in a fierce kiss that made me gasp, then tense. His tongue slipped between my lips, and without wanting to, I opened up for him, parted my lips, wrestled his tongue with mine. My hands found their way into his hair, tugging, raking, wanting him closer and at the same time wanting to shove him away. We always had good sex, but he always made it excruciating. It was either I get whipped during sex or after it. Slipping the vibrating phone into his pocket, he picked me up. My sister called a thousand times before she gave up. Nicholas's dark eyes watched me, something hungry and furious gleaming in their depth. “ I don't want to hurt you, Cara, but you brought this upon yourself. You could have patiently worked with me, after today you would have become a free woman. I would ha

NICHOLAS It's the D-Day. That was all that ran through my head as I took a cold shower. I was more happier for the birth of Madelyn than she was for herself. My outfits were laid out on the bed and though, it was still too early to set out, I went through the list of things we needed, to make sure that we didn't skip a thing. The main reason I was up early was to think about my next move. I knew something was off with Cara, but since I haven't caught her yet, I couldn't accuse her of snitching on me. I knew she was seeing someone yesterday, my men had said they saw her with a strange lady whose face they weren't able to make out. I decided to come see what she was up to, but I was late and those dumb fools said they didn't know when the strange lady left. They saw her make her way for the bathroom, but that was it. She never returned to her seat. She made use of the backdoor. How smart of her. I bumped into Cara on her way out. She wasn't surprised to see m
That One Night, Mr. CEO; A Lifetime Game Contagious Love
Madelyn It's my birthday, today. What is it people usually say? Something like the day God brought me into the world for y'all. My husband was up early. When I woke up, he wasn't beside me. Where could he have gone to this early in the morning? Jason was one patient lover. He took his time to explain everything to me yesterday. I can now agree that I'm naive. How come I never thought that plans could be changed? “ Who is it?” someone knocked on the door. I was still in my nighties and I still haven't left my bed. “ Grandma Lorelei asked that you come with me, ma'am Madelyn.” I quickly checked the mirror to see if I had drooled in my sleep. I straightened my hair and strolled out. “ Good morning, Laura.” The maid greeted me with a warm hug. Yes, I hug my maids. At first, they were uncomfortable with it. I knew just what my husband was capable of doing if he found out I was hugging our maids. But, they are humans too. They deserved to be loved and respe
That One Night, Mr. CEO; A Lifetime Game The Mastermind Behind All This
JASON I hurried home and waited for Madelyn. I noticed she had been going out more and her movements were usually discreet. Whenever I asked where she was off to, she would smile and say she only needed to check out some restaurant in town. At first, it was understandable since she was always craving food. But today, I noticed how weirdly she dressed. It's like she was trying to disguise. Over the week she became a very huge fan of scarfs and sunshades and over sized clothing. I knew something wasn't right, so I decided to follow her today and find out where it was she always went, or who she always visited. I have never thought my wife would ever cheat on me, but that was the first thought that came to mind. She didn't have any friends in the city, so who was it that she always visited? I followed the cab she was in. She would never know it was me cause I went on bike, and I had my helmet on. Madelyn stopped at a restaurant just as she had told me,
That One Night, Mr. CEO; A Lifetime Game A Day To The Big Day
CARA A day to the big Day. I was running around making last minute preparations. I have to meet with Madelyn today to inform her of all our plans. Or better still, I could call her. Nicholas asked that we all meet at our usual spot. Natasha called to let us know she would be late, her mom had fallen ill. All Nicholas could ever think of was how we should make this work and not about some sick person. “ Listen to me, I don't care if your mom is dying. I want you here on time, we can't have you mess up our big Day. Is this what would happen tomorrow? What? You call and inform us that your mom had a heart attack? See you by 12pm, Natasha.” That was harsh but it would be better to see this two turn against each other. They were the ones calling the shots in this game, and I needed a sort of division between them. “ Do you think she's trying to bail at the last minute? It might be that she doesn't want to go ahead with this, that's why she keeps bringing
That One Night, Mr. CEO; A Lifetime Game Weird Cravings
JASON A week later after the incident with Black's body, it was my wife's birthday tomorrow. As excited as I was, I was frightened something might go wrong at the party. “ Birthday girl, you look stunning, wife.” Madelyn walked up to me, her smile widened with each passing second. “ It's been a long, long ride Jason. I'm glad we came this far.” “ Do you want a massage? Are you having any of those weird cravings of yours?” I didn't know being pregnant came with a lot of responsibilities. We were just three weeks gone, and I have never been more at loss for the perfect words to describe this whole new feeling. Was this what men went through at the hands of their pregnant wives? Wasn't it a bit too early for her to start having weird cravings? Madelyn never spared me at all. She would wake me up at past 2am and ask me to go get her some sea food. Who the fuck wants seafood at that time of the night? Was it the baby who was demanding for all this or was it my

Rebecca ( Natasha's Mom) Continuation of flashback.It seemed like the end of the world for Caspian. I could have sworn I saw him shed a tear. He looked lost. I should look the same too considering I had just broken up with my boyfriend who I thought I'd be getting married to, but, no one felt much pain like Caspian. Grandma Lorelei warned me. Caspian had a raging temper. He had been in and out of a rehabilitation facility. She said he was just starting to make progress when Melissa came into his life. Over the last couple of months, his anger issues has been kept on check. But now, Black ruined it all. The furious, venomous dark creature made a mess of his room. We could all hear the noise coming from Caspian's room, but neither his mom or brother could dare trying to stop him. “ We should go check on him, grandma. No one deserves to be in such..” Lorelei grabbed my hands and made me promise I'd keep my distance from Caspian, for now. “ When he's like t
That One Night, Mr. CEO; A Lifetime Game How Complicated Could It Get?
NATASHA'S MOM I hurried home after I saw Grandma Lorelei leave. I was heartbroken. It's clear she was the only one that visited yesterday. Why couldn't anyone find a clue, a hint, anything at all? “ Argh!!” I yelled, almost ripping my lungs out as I threw something to the wall. I have been getting more fiery these days and I threw objects more frequently too. If I continue at this rate, I'd have broken almost every object in the house. “ Why have you been so angry the past few days, mom?” My daughter asked from the dinning table. I didn't even notice she was there all throughout. It was just 8am. She was not yet dressed, so I guess she's taking the day off. I had a quick flashback about how last night ended and I felt nothing but guilt for the way I treated her. It was not the best thing to do. I know that too well but I couldn't keep it in no more. She needed to hear a few unkind words, maybe it might help faster. She was too self-centered, and cared abou
