The CEO's Forever Pet 62. Ollie
OLIVER She didn't say a word to me and I didn't push. I allowed her the space she needed, watched her run up the stairs and heard the door slam shut. The silence of the living room echoed back at me while I was left all alone to deal with the crappy feeling that came with her attitude. Did I push her too far or too much? Did I overstep and didn't know when to stop? Did I overreact? Yes. But did I have a reason for that? Yes, in fact, I had tons of reasons that were valid and shocking at the same time. What are you doing, Oliver? Just what the heck was I doing this time? I had never felt so lost, confused and at a crossroad before. She always managed to bring out such strong emotions and man! They wrecked and messed with my brain. I remembered the first few weeks we got together, her eyes were shy and calm, fascinated by me and my sudden interest in her. She was amazed how I could switch to a caring lover for the camera and keep a straight face on the way home. "Scary," that's w
The CEO's Forever Pet 63. I'll cancel the debt
REBECCA The soft lighting of my phone almost blinded me and I groaned as I got out of bed. I reached for my blue ray glasses before turning on my laptop to continue my project. It was sheer luck that I had written to the school management before I dropped out that I'd be suspending my school activities for a while. A while turned into three years. They agreed to let me pick up where I left off but I had to work fast to graduate with this set. I was already working on my project before I called it quits, no continuing from the smart me three years ago was proving difficult. Things were moving fast since I decided to focus all my thoughts on it. It was a nice distraction from Oliver- My phone's light came up and I quickly grabbed it, ignoring the tug of a smile on my lips and the warmth that spread through my chest. Theo: Up? How could I explain that my cheeks were hurting from just one word? It didn't even make any sense. When did this start? We've been texting back and forth f
The CEO's Forever Pet 64. Crumbling Mess
REBECCA His offer hung over the table with a hush that made my head feel vacant. What was he planning this time? As much as I wanted to be fooled by his look, I knew his mouth was sweetened with false promises and lies. Oliver was barely a man to be held by his words without scrutinising each sentence. He could turn everything against me in the blink of an eye. "A contract?" Was he really proposing that? He was willing to let me go… why did that make me feel more hurt than relieved? "Yes." "Just like that?" I stared into his focused gaze and saw no lies, it terrified me. "You have to work for me and learn the ways to manage the company in under a few months." Something about the way he spoke gave me chills. Why did he sound like he was going away for a few months and needed my help? Did my previous manager praise me so damn well that he thought I could handle it? "What about Victor?" I folded my arms. "He's your assistant, shouldn't he be able to keep things in check while you'
The CEO's Forever Pet 65. Permissions
OLIVER It was quiet when I got home. The silence had been blasting on full volumes for days now. No more arguments and yelling, just silence like no one lived here. “She made no attempt to leave the house,” the bodyguard reported as soon as I got home. I already figured she wouldn't attempt anything. She was mad at me and was ready to act stiff and mute till my conscience shrivelled and probably killed me from inside out. I put my things away, wondering how to get her outside her room this time. It wasn't time for dinner but we could spend time discussing what we wanted to eat. Maybe take outs or we could eat together. I was suddenly craving going on a date with her but I knew that was out of the options so I wasn't even going to suggest that. It may earn me a glare– that was a reaction at least. At this point,I would pick her yelling at me over this quiet attitude. Her silence was filling my mind apart. I stood before her door, breathing calmly to gather myself before knocking s
The CEO's Forever Pet 66. Return without a scratch
REBECCA I was still shocked that he agreed to it even as he dished out his warnings with a stern voice and a face that said if I tried to dare him, that'll be the end of me. I nodded and when he suggested we make dinner together, I nodded and climbed down the bed. Since he was nice enough to fulfill my request, I figured I might as well return the kindness. “We should just order pizza,” we were out of groceries- how did he not know that? He's been cooking nonstop for three days. “What did you eat for lunch?” “I was working on my project and the document Victor sent,” he snapped his head over to where I was seated on the stool. “ I didn't feel hungry.” “That's not an excuse to starve yourself,” he shut the fridge and picked up his phone to call the pizza house. “Keep up with this behavior and I'll be forced to get you a nanny.” I narrowed my eyes, “Sure.” “I mean it, Rebecca. You don't eat enough, you work all day, do you even sleep?” I tried, trust me. It's harder sleeping on
The CEO's Forever Pet 67. Accident
OLIVER I drummed my hands on the table as I read the same sentence over and over again. The words flew around, over my head and walked off the pages like theu had better things to do than let me stare at their nude form. Ever saw sentences as naked letters lying there to be thoroughly scrutinized for understanding? Fuck! Did we even have their permission to read them? Did that bastard even have the permission to meet up with her at will? I was her guardian and protector. He should be busy protecting the city. Why stick his nose in my woman? That came out wrong. She wasn't my woman, she was just… well.. my ward and my fake girlfriend. I couldn't term her my sister, God no! Foster sister? That was far from it. Fuck! I couldn't seem to concentrate, all my thoughts were playing out scenes of her kissing and moaning in his arms. He didn't touch her the last time. I checked or at least, I'd like to believe I was right. I still felt guilty for falling for her seduction and sticking my
The CEO's Forever Pet 68. Kids who lost their favourite toy
OLIVER Her bodyguards were missing at the scene too and her phone, we retrieved it from one of the cops. I sat in my car blood boiling as I gripped my phone hard, watching Victor and the detective talking next to what was left of my car. The image refused to leave my head even as I closed my eyes to try and concentrate. Think, Oliver. After getting off the phone with my grandfather, I've never felt so lost and so confused. Besides that feeling plaguing my mind, my body trembled as I imagined what she could possibly be going through right now. Who was it? Who would put their hands on her? “Stop yelling, boy,” My grandfather sneered into the phone when I barked at him to release her or else I'd burn the company to the ground. “You wouldn't dare go against what has fed you and kept you going for years-” “Try me. If you don't release her alive,” I emphasised. “In the next ten minutes-” “She could be dead in under ten minutes, whoever has her must have a bone to pick with you,” he
The CEO's Forever Pet 69. Good as new
OLIVER “I’m coming with,” Theo protested, asking for the address once I put down the call. I hadn't even said a word yet he read me like a page on the news. “No,” I wasn't going to risk her life by bringing a fucking cop around. Didn't he have some bloody sense to think that through? “I know someone just called you concerning-” “Then you'd know you can't bring a fucking cop unless you want her brains on the menu,” I snapped, feeling a lot older now having spelled that out. This was who she wanted to replace me with? Besides his good looking face– which I topped and dominated anyways– his biker fit and his American accent, there was nothing special about this man. As a reply, he crossed over to the other side and got into my car, making himself comfortable. “I'll keep my head down if I have to and pose as one of your bodyguards. I'm not letting you go all by yourself.” “I don't need a babysitter-” “It's not for you, dummy,” he took out his weapon and checked his bullets, prepari
