The CEO's Daughter 102
I was in a state of shock, the word that could describe me in that moment. Christopher was looking at us with concern; his leg was moving up and down at a high speed. He was anxious, almost as anxious and worried as Ethan.He paced back and forth around the room with his arms crossed over his chest, his gaze fixed on his feet. I sat on the couch, covering my face with both hands.For some strange reason, George, Chris's father, who many years ago had ordered the assassination of Ethan's father to take control of the company that interested them so much, had recently attempted to destroy my father's company using codes that I still didn't understand their purpose. To make matters worse, less than two months ago, he had kidnapped Ethan and me to an unknown location, which had resulted in an urgent trip to the hospital due to a gunshot wound in my abdomen.All of that, coupled with the fact that this same man believed that his son and I were together.I swallowed hard and sat up straigh

He blinked several times, as if not comprehending what I was saying. He uncrossed his arms but remained in his place, so I continued."Do you think that disappearing, not answering my calls, and ignoring me for over a month is synonymous with not losing me, with 'protecting' me? I don't even know if we're still together or not."There was a deafening silence."I'm sorry," he whispered."Sorry? Is that all you can say?" My voice was rising more than I intended, but I no longer cared. I had so much inside me that I didn't know if it was necessary to waste my breath telling him everything. I turned to leave, but stopped and faced him again."I don't care if you agree to let me participate in the plan. I'm going to do it whether you like it or not. I don't want you to speak to me again. We'll only discuss the plan, and when all of this is over, I want you to really disappear. Don't come back, understood?"I didn't wait for a response; I turned and left the room, slamming the door behind m

Chris took my hand across the table, interlacing his fingers with mine affectionately.I smiled and glanced to the side, feeling a bit embarrassed. Chris offered a seductive smile and whispered a joke in my ear, making me laugh. It wasn't because the joke was good, but rather because it was so bad that it was funny. He then assumed a more serious posture, and I could hear him licking his lips. I felt his fingers caressing my hand.The ambient music in the restaurant created a very romantic atmosphere for a young couple. The tables were filled with people engrossed in their own conversations, oblivious to their surroundings.I was close enough to Chris that any onlooker might assume we were on a date. Two tables to the right, I noticed a couple I recognized perfectly; they occasionally glanced at us, smiling with teasing amusement at our performance. I shook my head each time I shared a knowing smile with my friend.Two tables to the left, there was a girl who seemed to be waiting for

The night had arrived, and my house was a mess with all the things we needed to bring to the party.Ivan and Amelia were dressed elegantly. Amelia wore a long, shiny dark blue dress that reached her feet, covering just one shoulder. Ivan had a gray tuxedo with a white shirt.Isabela and Ethan were dressed as waiters for the party, Chris wore a black tuxedo with a white shirt underneath, and I was elegantly dressed in an emerald green strapless dress that was snug to my waist and then cascaded to the floor.Ethan and Isabela had left a few hours earlier to assist in organizing everything with the service George had hired. I wasn't sure how she managed to get them hired to work as waiters at that particular party.Ivan and Amelia left about 30 minutes ahead of us to avoid raising suspicions that we were arriving together. They took their van with all the items they needed.Chris and I were escorted in a limousine to George's mansion. They lived in an extremely upscale neighborhood, with

Chris stepped back a bit, looking doubtful. He seemed confused, and rightly so."Why?" he asked."The 'why' is not very clear to me, but I really need you to kiss me now," I replied.Chris moved a little closer to me, and I instinctively pressed against the wall. He placed his left arm behind my waist, and I nervously bit my lower lip."Are you sure?" he asked once more, his eyes capturing my attention."Yes," I answered.Chris lowered his gaze to my lips and then looked back at me, smiling. I couldn't help but smile in response; his smile was very contagious.His lips met mine in an instant. It took me a few milliseconds to adjust and let myself be carried away by the kiss. Christopher, in a way, guided me in the kiss. I felt a tingling sensation inside me and gave in to the feeling.This man certainly knew how to kiss.I embraced him beneath his arms, and I felt myself being pushed further against the wall. Our tongues played, and his made maneuvers worthy of a good kisser.A few mo

I took a breath and wanted to collect my thoughts to continue probing the topic, but Chris beat me to it."Father, I want to know why you did this, why you killed Ethan's father, when both of you were the owners of this company. I know you ordered his murder; I found out."George's smile vanished in an instant. I stared at him, wide-eyed. I didn't intend for us to address that subject so quickly. Chris seemed very determined with his question. Maybe he wouldn't even need me to extract the information."What are you talking about, son?" George feigned ignorance."You know exactly what I'm talking about, Father. Why?" Chris took a step towards his father."You don't know what you're talking about at all."George's expression changed.He distanced himself from us with the cigar in his mouth, inhaled deeply, and approached his desk."Of course I know, Dad. I found it in some papers you had, and besides, I got it from a reliable source."George laughed."And who told you? Ethan?"I noticed

"Let me go, Christopher! Ethan's inside, for God's sake! Let me go!" I struggled to free myself from his grasp.I couldn't contain the emotions inside me. My stomach churned with dread. Ethan was inside, and I couldn't leave him.Chris held me tightly, his grip unyielding.I was overwhelmed by the tumultuous emotions raging within me. Ethan had died, and there was so much left unsaid. I couldn't tell him I loved him; I couldn't apologize for my earlier harsh words. I wouldn't see him again, feel his presence, hug him, or kiss him. He was gone.He had left us, protecting both me and Chris.How had I ever doubted his feelings for me? Now he was gone, gone forever.The firefighters rushed to extinguish the flames, but I was unable to look away from the fire-ravaged mansion. My tears flowed freely down my cheeks.I had been so foolish. I hadn't told him how I felt. I hadn't had the chance to say yes to his proposal. And now, it was too late. He was gone.Exhausted from my struggles with

I released my friends' hands and sat next to Daniel."Hello," I murmured."Hello, Minnie," he responded sleepily."How do you feel?" I smiled with a hint of sadness."Tired. This has been intense," he admitted, leaning his elbows on his knees."I'm sorry for everything that happened. This was not part of the plan."He sighed."Don't worry, Minnie. We're all alive. Now, it's time for you and my brother to make amends. Go on, what are you waiting for?"Daniel smiled at me with all the sincerity his tired eyes could muster, and he got up. I followed suit. We hugged, and Daniel joined my friends. I approached them too."Take him to my house and tell my father what happened. Ask him to let Daniel sleep in my room, please."My friends nodded and gave me a hug. I hugged Iván tightly, and he smiled at me. They left a few minutes later.I waited until I couldn't see them anymore and stood in front of Ethan's room. I took a deep breath and entered. I closed the door behind me and stood at the f

"You shouldn't let anger get the best of you, brother," I tried to advise him."Oh, of course not, that's not going to happen," he murmured, sipping the remnants of his drink."The point is, you should calm down, go and expand your social networks just like she...""She doesn't expand her social networks; she's known him since she was seventeen!" he shouted in frustration, but I continued to look at him impassively."You should relax," I said with a shrug, finding it impossible to understand his nervous breakdown.Wasn't it his idea? He should just speak the truth, express his true feelings, and that's it.I know it's easier said than done, but it was the best way out instead of going around throwing punches."Is he holding her hand?" he asked through gritted teeth. "This is over."I sighed and decided to get him out of there before the situation turned into a bloody and unpleasant scene.I took care of dragging him out of the café and then let him run free, like a caged animal."Just

Valentine's Day had finally arrived.Daniel was a bundle of nerves, and spending the day helping him clean his house and prepare the dinner for the evening was getting on my nerves too.I didn't want to prepare anything for that day with Ethan because I knew, thanks to my brother-in-law, that he was planning a surprise for me, a surprise that I hadn't discovered yet.When we finished the preparations, Daniel accompanied me back home. Upon arriving, I saw that Ethan was at home.That surprised me."What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at work?" I looked at him in doubt."Today is a special day. Did you really think I'd forget it and work until so late?" He put his hands on my waist to pull me closer."No, you never forget this day, and you always have some surprise for me." I hugged him, resting my head on his shoulder."Do you want to know your surprise?" Our gazes connected."I should be the one surprising you." I hesitated.Ethan gave me a sly smile and retraced his steps to re

I was immensely excited to see them since I hadn't seen them for several weeks. They had been on their honeymoon, and I wasn't expecting them back for another couple of days. Behind them were Iván and Amelia.Delia let them all in and appeared in the living room just behind them."Minnie!" Chris said excitedly."Why are you here so early?" I asked, genuinely confused by their early arrival."Do you think we'd leave you alone on our beautiful godson's birthday?" Isabela said."To be honest, yes. You were on your honeymoon," I admitted with a shrug."And? We decided to come back early, plus with this woman, every day feels like a honeymoon," Chris said, looking at Isabela with love, putting his arm around her waist and pulling her close.She smiled and pushed him away a bit, giggling. I smiled happily."But you know, the party starts in an hour," I said apologetically for them arriving so early.Chris looked at Isabela, who looked at Iván, and then their gaze moved to Amelia."I thought

Three years later..."Minerva, hurry up, we're going to be late!" I heard Ethan's voice from downstairs.I rolled my eyes and finished adjusting my hair and dress. I put on some flats and made my way down the stairs.At the bottom of the stairs was the man I had been living with for 7 years, and I loved him just as much as when I was 19.He stopped checking his watch and took a deep breath as he prepared to call me again. However, when he saw me, he smiled in a way that I adored.I descended the stairs and stopped on the last step, so I was at eye level with him.This day was very special because my father was finally returning from his annual business observation trip around the world. It had been 5 months since I last saw him, and I was excited to see him again. It was also special because we were going to a unique birthday celebration and my father was returning from his trip. I had taken the day off with my beloved husband to have lunch together."I'm here," I said, smiling at him
The CEO's Daughter 112 (Final)
Esther stood still for a moment, as if waiting for a sign or something. In the background, you could see their house, and she was sitting on the couch that used to belong to her father, according to what Ethan had told me. Esther was wearing a dress that I had given her on one of the many times I had dinner at her place."Is it recording?" Esther pointed at the camera. The image wobbled slightly, as if the person recording didn't have a steady hand."Yes, Mom," Daniel's voice sounded with irritation."Don't answer me like that, young man," she scolded him and narrowed her eyes, looking beyond the camera.I chuckled and saw Daniel by my side, shrinking in his seat."I'm sorry, Mom. We've already had five takes; they could arrive any moment, and the surprise will be ruined."Daniel sighed with nostalgia, as if he were remembering that day."Well, all right. I'm sorry," Esther paused, lowered her head, took a deep breath, and raised her head with a beautiful smile. "Ethan, Minerva, if y

I took a deep breath, looking at myself in the mirror.I adjusted the white dress I was wearing and looked at my friends. Isabela was sitting on a sofa in the room, holding a glass of wine in her right hand, gazing at me intently.Both of them were wearing pale pink dresses that hugged their bodies, with small straps supporting the dress and accentuating their chests. They had their hands on their hips, inspecting me from head to toe.In a way, the three of us had changed.My hair was a bit shorter than before, although at that precise moment, it wasn't noticeable since I had it tied up with a bow and a braid. Amelia kept her hair the same length as before and had it straightened this time, pulled into a high ponytail.The three of us still shared the same height and the same skin tone.I turned to look at myself again in the mirror in front of me. The dress was bigger than I had imagined, slightly constricting around my stomach, which was bothering me a bit near the abdominal wound,

I paced back and forth in the living room of my house, extremely nervous.I glanced at my father's closed office door once more. I then sat down on the largest sofa in the room, placing both hands on my knees.It was a fairly sunny day, with a few clouds in the sky, but it was overall a bright blue day. My house was clean, thanks to the cleaning I had done the day before in preparation for today.My house looked the same as before. The dining area was in front of a large window with a panoramic view of the city. Next to it was the guest bedroom door, where Ethan had stayed the first time he visited.In front of me was the TV, with two individual sofas on each side. To the left, there was a wall with an opening leading to the kitchen, which was spotless. The stairs were behind me, and the front door was in the opposite corner of the same wall.You could see the upstairs from where I was sitting, as there was a glass and black metal railing that allowed you to see halfway down the hallw
