The CEO's Assistant is a Billionaire Hacker An Interlude
As Dean leaned toward Nadia it took her a bit of a moment to realize what was going on. Her mind was working overtime trying to make out the situation Dean seemed to have resolved before it happened. His hands on her cheeks felt like a familiar touch she was looking forward to. Warm and comforting, she was growing used to having him touch her so casually whether it was for show or when there was no need to make a show. It was as if they were getting used to the close proximity that it was becoming part of their daily lives. But this felt different, this felt like the moment she had blamed her drunkenness for. As she looked at Dean, she could see his intense gaze on her watching her with barely retrained fire in his gaze. She knew this gaze, she caught him looking at her like this more than once, and she didn’t have the courage to think about what it meant. “Are you going to make me wait like this forever?” He asked his voice husky and barely above a whisper, yet it ran like well-
The CEO's Assistant is a Billionaire Hacker Being Avoided
Dean sighed as he watched Nadia through the glass of his office as she laughed at something Jone said. She was getting along a bit too well with him these days, unlike how she was acting around Dean. He felt his irritation grow every time he saw her with him or any other employees, acting all friendly and smiley while she wouldn’t even take a proper look at him. It was good to see her finally being on good terms with the employees. Now that she had less workload and had enough time to socialize with everyone, she was beginning to become one of their favorite coworkers. Before she used to carry most of his workload and even face them in his stead as their boss. But in an attempt to make things easier for her, Dean was letting Jone and the others from the secretarial department share the load with her and directly take care of some of his matters which was a positive addition to the atmosphere around. But it wasn’t a good addition to his mood. Especially since she had been avoiding h

Nadia was sitting in her makeshift office trying to concentrate on what she was doing. She’s been having a hard time concentrating all week and the reason was because a certain someone set light on some kind of feelings she hadn’t realized she had. She knew that she was attracted to Dean to some degree but to think that she would feel like this when she kissed him. She would be blaming her lack of restraint by now if she wasn’t still swooning over how good that moment felt. But after that, she had a hard time facing him and ended up avoiding him all week. Nadia’s phone buzzed snapping away her attention from what she was trying to do. Jone’s name popped up on the screen and she picked up the phone answering it. “Hey, Jone. Is everything alright?” She asked knowing the man wouldn’t call her unless it was work related. “Of course, you need to stop worrying each time I call you,” Jone said with a smile in his voice making her chuckle. “Sorry, it’s a bad habit,” She said. “I know, y

Dean was clenching his fists as he listened to Nadia’s recount about the man named Kyle Brian. Just moments ago, he was over the moon about how she went into his arms willingly and leaned on him. He sensed the change in her comportment and his hope flared but there was still something he needed to take care of which was her safety. “I think I know what happened now…” Nadia said after finishing her tale. She was now composed and if not for the cute reddening of her nose and eyes he wouldn’t have guessed that she was crying. She took mere moments to stand back up when she falls, and as Dean admired her strength he kept wondering whether it had something to do with how much she had to endure alone until she had no choice but to learn to rely on her own strength to stand up. “You figured it out?” He asked. “Yeah, When Brian came in with those half-baked accusations I realized. I think that they were planning to frame WTech for stealing their prototype and were waiting for the right m

“Ehm, pardon?” Nadia paused as she looked at her future mother-in-law wondering whether the woman was joking. Maria simply sipped from her cup of tea as she sat before her at the table, then as she slowly put it down she smiled at her.“As you heard my dear, I just finished packing Dean’s things and they should be getting here to your apartment soon,” Maria said with a deceptively indulgence smile.“Does Dean know about this?” Nadia asked uncertainly.“He will, once we finish this conversation I will call him,” she said as she stood up.Luke came thudding through the floor his backpack in place and everything ready.“I’m ready!” He announced with a toothy grin as he looked at them expectantly.“Wonderful! We’re going to have a fun day together,” Maria said as she took his hand and walked to the door.“Have a fun date!” Maria called over her shoulder.“Yes! Have a fun date, Mommy!” Luke echoed as he put his shoes on and followed her out closing the door behind them.Nadia stood there

“To think that we would be doing this on our first date,” Dean sighed as he carried the box in his hands into the bedroom.“Well, we can be sure that it will never be dull with Maria around,” Nadia said with an amused smile.Dean looked at her as she leaned against the counter and reached for the scissors, she was still in her tight jeans and was now wearing a short t-shirt making her curves look even more alluring. It took a huge effort for him to calm his excitement down and look away from her. It was going to be much harder to resist being with her in close quarters. Back when he was staying with her, Luke was always around or there was always something on their minds keeping them in check.Now it was different. Now she agreed to be with him, which made him want to reach out to her whenever she was within his grasp.“Hey, are you okay?” She asked as she walked toward him putting a soft hand on his arm as she looked at him with concern.“No, I’m not.” He mumbled circling his arms a

“To call this a coincidence would be too much of an understatement,” Ray said with a grin as he sat before Nadia and Anna, “This must be fate…”Nadia watched closely as Anna stiffened beside her. Ray had been grinning from ear to ear since he came to meet them. He pulled Nadia into a tight hug, then looked at Anna who took a step back, she stared at him for a moment before giving him a forced smile in greeting.Ray was still grinning from ear to ear chatting with him, quite one-sidedly. It was clear that Anna disliked Ray a lot, but Ray didn’t seem to mind her attitude as if he was quite used to it.Nadia glared at Dean and then realized what he did. He knew Anna didn’t like Ray and he still invited him. He was being silly, like a five-year-old. He was always like that whenever Anna was around. His bad habits stuck out and he started acting like a teenager by avoiding the girl he dated out on a whim.“There’s no fate about it, Dean invited you here. Stop being so nasty about this,” An

Dean reached out for the cabbage on the shelf and then paused. As he watched the vegetable rack for a moment, he remembered Nadia’s expression when she ate a cabbage salad back in Blue Ridge.She was making a neutral expression but the way she held her fork tightly and sulked in between bites reminded him of himself back when Luke was eating his vegetables. It was subtle and no one would have noticed but Dean did because he was always watching her. Taking a step back, Dean made his way back to pick up some chicken. Now that his anger and fear had subsided, he was burdened by the guilt about what he did earlier that evening.He acted exactly as Nadia described, like a teenage bully who was ganging up on the unpopular girl. The way Nadia had glared at him as she talked earlier hit a nerve and he knew that what he did wasn’t something she tolerated.In fact, she seemed to take it quite personally.Maybe he should prepare her favorite fried chicken instead today. Her mood may improve en

Nadia woke up with a start breathing heavily as sweat dampened her temple. Feeling someone shift beside her, she shivered at the whisk of air passing through her damp skin as Dean sat up in bed beside her.“Hey…” he whispered and Nadia sighed covering her face with her palms.“I’m so tired of this…” she said hotly as she tried to suppress the frustration tears that threatened to fall down her cheeks.She felt a blanket being thrown on her shoulders before Dean’s big and warm hands stroked her back slowly soothing away the nerves that had been keeping her body tense.“Come on, lay down…” he said in a soft tone and Nadia followed his command laying against him as he circled his arms around her.His fingers combed through her hair slowly massaging her skull. Her heartbeat was begin in to slowly return to its natural rhythm when he finally spoke again.“Maybe you need to say your goodbyes..” he said slowly.The way Dean spoke and how he acted was becoming their routine. Since her days in t
The CEO's Assistant is a Billionaire Hacker Hospital Escapade
Three weeks later, "So, how was your last check-up with the doctor?" Nadia asked as she sat at the bedside of the huge man before her.The man chucked and gave her a wry look as if asking her if she was really asking him this question."I should be the one asking you this question, Miss. You're the one who got admitted recently," he said with a smile."Oh, come on, Blake! Mine was just a flesh wound and too much drama. You're the one who was about to cross to the other side for a moment there," She answered with a fake frown.Blake, the man who saved Luke when he was kidnapped, regained consciousness only after Nadia was admitted to the hospital. The first thing the man asked for was his hospitalized daughter and Luke.Nadia had made a vow to herself that she would do her best to protect the man and his daughter no matter what. So once she heard that he was awake, she visited him and they began talking. It turned out that the man wasn't a criminal and that he only did this mission b

Dean raced down the seemingly endless corridor, each step echoing with a sense of dread. This floor had been reserved exclusively for Nadia's penthouse, accessible only with her permission or a special keycard. Yet, Dean knew that Mark had the potential to breach the security. Nadia had been aware of this vulnerability in the system, which was why she'd consented to have a bodyguard with them at all times.But Miller, in his attempt to spring this trap, had incapacitated their bodyguard, leaving them vulnerable just when Mark arrived. As they approached the open door, Dean's heart raced with a mix of fear and determination. Agents ahead of him cautiously entered the room, assessing the situation. When Dean was finally permitted to move forward, the sound that greeted him was heart-wrenching.Nadia's muffled sobs pierced the air, a stark contrast to the chaos within. Mark lay on the ground, his face a grotesque mask of brutality. Nadia was in Karl's arms, her tears flowing uncontrollab

"It's nice to see you always running to the rescue of your fiance... But we can't have you going in there ruining our plans yet," Miller said with a smile as he looked at his agents and nodded."Make sure they won't run away," he ordered."Hey! What are you doing!" Keith protested as they surrounded him."You were in on this all along..." Dean said gritting his teeth as he struggled against the agents that were holding his hands back.How had he not seen this?"Wait a minute, What are you talking about?" Miller asked looking at him with a frown."You're acting like nothing is wrong, then why are you standing at the door of our apartment building stopping me from getting inside? Is the agency now supporting Mark, or were you on his side all along and we were the idiots believing you?" Dean asked feeling helplessly frustrated as he pushed back against the men holding him only to be overpowered again."Wait a minute, I think there is a misunderstanding here..." Miller trailed off and Dea

"Dad, call the bodyguards and make sure to keep an eye on Luke!" Dean told his father as he made his way to the front of the house where he parked his car."What's going on?" He asked following him."Mark managed to escape from the police. The first place he would be heading to is where Nadia is. I need to head there right now," Dean explained and his father nodded."Okay, be careful. I will call the police to make their way there too." His father said as he closed Dean's car door after he got in.Dean nodded and started his car starting to back up when the passenger door opened and Keith jumped inside."Think that I would let you go alone this time too?" He asked with a smirk."It's gonna be dangerous," Dean warned."The more reason I need to go with you," Keith insisted, "What are you waiting for?"Dean sighed and backed away from the spot making his way toward the penthouse. He sped through the street his car eating up the road between them. He had never regretted the distance bet

Nadia opened her eyes as she felt someone lean against the bed beside her. Looking up, she found Dean smiling down at her the sunlight streaming through the window making him look as if there was a halo around his head.Groaning, she shidted to her back readying herself to cover her face with the blanket only for him to stop her with both arms."You need to wake up," He said softly."Said the guy who wore me out last night," She retorted with a sigh, "You're way too bright for me to look at, go away,"He chuckled finding her statement funny, even though she wasn't joking."It's already noon, you're going to sleep all day at this rate," He informed her but she simply shook her head stubbornly."I can't move... My muscles are sore," She complained.Dean smiled and leaned down against her pressing a kiss against her neck, right where he left a mark last night."Realy? Even though I went easy on you last night. I was having such a hard time holding back while you called out my name, in mo

"Oh, it's finally here..." Nadia remarked as she walked past Dean at the kitchen counter. He nodded absently as he stared at the test making Nadia wonder for a moment if there was something wrong with it. Leaning over his shoulder, she could see the positive green letters standing out like neon lights in the darkness."It's positive," She stated."Yeah..." He said with a satisfied smile kissing the palm of her hand as he resumed staring at the paper. Nadia smiled shaking her head at the man, he was just way too cute. Ruffling his hair, she resumed walking toward Luke's room to see if he was ready."He should be here anytime now," She informed Dean who nodded again not moving from his spot.Nadia found Luke in a similar state to his father bent over his toy his shoes and socks only half worn."Luke! You're supposed to wear your socks. Our guests will be here any moment," She said with a smile."Who's our guest?" Luke asked as he finished wearing his socks."It's my father..." Nadia s
The CEO's Assistant is a Billionaire Hacker Growing up With a Family
"You..." Dean took an exasperated breath letting it out slowly..Nadia sat on the couch uncomfortable as she looked away from him. She was readying herself for another scolding when she felt a hand on her head softly patting it. Dean was looking at her with a gentle smile."If this is going to give you some peace of mind then by all means, let them meet. But I don't want you to do it at the expense of your feelings," Dean reassured her."I want Luke to meet him and know that he has a grandfather... But I can't bring myself to trust him. I don't believe that someone can change like that overnight..." She explained.Dean leaned back and she leaned against him snuggling into his arms."I always thought that it was strange that your father seemed to always think that he was the victim. It was as if he felt like he was betrayed by you but in fact it was Kate who was lying to him about you all the time. Perhaps he was never that bad of a person in the first place..." Dean said, then he corr
The CEO's Assistant is a Billionaire Hacker Meeting Confirmed
Standing before the hole in the ground, Nadia was filled with so many thoughts and feelings. One of them was that she was probably a hypocrite standing there wearing black and listening intently to the prayers of a man who knew nothing.Another thought is that... Well... It was sunny. Nadia always had this conception that it never was sunny on funerals, it was always raining or gloomily grey. But no, it wasn't, it was sunny, and flowers were blooming around while butterflies were mating. Burds chirping and most of all... it was warm and pleasant.To sum it up, it was the weather that destroyed her conception of funerals...Nadia watched silently as they started lowering the coffin to the ground. The coffin was made from dark wood. One Kate would have hated. And decorated with white spider lilies. Kate hated white. She always said it wasn't a color. Although she would conveniently wear it whenever she felt like the situation would require from her to add a flare of innocence. Mainly w
