The CEO's Forever Pet 78. Letting you go
REBECCAIt was afternoon when Oliver entered. Theo had helped me with breakfast and asked a few questions about the kidnapper."Did he say anything? Did they mention anyone?""No," I responded without so much thought. "They just said they would dump me in the ocean if they had the chance." I left out Oliver's grandfather. That was a conversation only Oliver and I should talk about. I knew I was being a fool but I wanted to look him in the eye and tell him straight to his face.I boiled with anger when he walked in, shocked to see him in a new suit all set for work.He really did stop by his office, didn't he? Even with me in this position, he…"I'll be outside if you need me," Theo said before stepping out, but not without the two sharing a glaring look and throwing their faces away like they couldn't stand each other.I suddenly noticed the cuts around Oliver's lip and one of his eyes looked a bit darker than the other."Are you wearing makeup?"He glanced at me, stared for a while
The CEO's Forever Pet 79. I'm not losing you
REBECCA I was stunned by his words and that serious look in his eyes. His emotions were laid bare before me now and he was no longer the cold, heartless man he tried to be when he walked in here. I don't recall ever seeing him so afraid. I used to believe nothing could affect his perfect mask but ever since I mentioned leaving him, I've seen sides of Oliver I never thought existed. The question was 'why?' Why would he look so affected by me? I knew he cared about me-- well I liked to think that he did. Before the news of his engagement, I was easily fooled into believing he cared about me. With his sudden display right now, I was at a loss for words and in a dilemma with my emotions but that didn't stop the tight throbbing of my heart and the ache in my chest. I was already reacting, frowning as I pushed his chest in an uncontrollable burst of anger. He let go, staggering back. That was too easy so I did it again and again and this time, he didn't budge. I kept up with it till m
The CEO's Forever Pet 80. Don't let me go
"If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely. If you're leaving, baby, let me down slowly"~ Alec Benjamin OLIVER I grew up without the warmth of a family nor the love of anyone around me. The nuns were too busy keeping us in check to actually love us and treat us like a big family. Over twenty children in a run-down orphanage. We were lucky to still be able to eat a three-square meal even though the portions were nothing more than three spoons full. That's why the night I ran away and got hit by Mr. Edward Wright's car, I was prepared to die. At least then, some other kid would have my portion of food and it would be a little less burdening for the nuns. I didn't know the meaning of love until I was adopted and the Wright couple did their best to make me open up. It still felt surreal to me. I had nice clothes, good food-- anything I wished to eat would immediately be provided. But what the adults felt for me was empathy and sympathy, yet they were kind and interested in me as a human

REBECCA I met his lips with a hungry kiss. The hunger that awoke inside of me was unexplainable and undeniable. As much as I wanted to deny him and resist him, he was like a magnet. His hands roamed my body fervently, his kiss was desperate and made my heart ache. He had mastered all my turn on spots that it was pretty easy to make me melt without even trying. My heart still fluttered from his confession. I didn't want to believe it, didn't want to think it. I feared if I did, I'd make a stupid decision. One where I would be at the loosing end. His kiss didn't lie. The movement of his hands spoke the truth and my heart ached. It was undeniable yet I refused to see so I kept my eyes shut, wrapping my hands around him. “I've loved you for so long.” Shut up. Stop talking. He's laying. He's only trying to make me stay. He's going to get me killed. He'll get married and throw me out at some point. “I want you so bad. I'm so sorry, Becca.” I grabbed onto him now that I could, kno
The CEO's Forever Pet 82. The news
REBECCATheo took my statement. All the while that he did, I kept my eyes on the floor, lost in my head as I gave the details.I repeated the words they said to me, mentioned the stalker and included the old man as a suspect.“Thank you very much for your time. We'll start investigating and we'll let you know the process,” he sounded very professional.Too professional. It made me shiver from his coldness, but I didn't lift my head even when he walked out.Did Oliver mean what he said? A child? My chest swelled with a rush intake of breath and I heaved a sigh sharply.A child, really?I was still in shock and trying to process his words. If it were in the past, I'd be blushing and looking forward to the baby making process. Starting a family with Oliver has always been my dream. I love that man so much, I was ready to have his kids but… a child in this situation?That was like inviting death with my own two hands.He kissed me passionately after dropping such a bomb and only when he p
The CEO's Forever Pet 83. Dead from her scoldings
REBECCA “Rebecca!” Tania threw herself on me in a hug. She didn't care whether I had ignored her all these days or not, she sobbed as she cupped my face, worrying about me like we were old fiems friends. Her kind heart broke my heart and I smiled amidst my tears as we walked into her house. Theo stayed outside like a guard, refusing to come in and making us promise we'd scream if anything was amiss. He wanted to allow us the time to be together. “Who is that hunk?” Tania mouthed with wide eyes once we walked in, causing my cheeks to heat and burn. She noticed my reaction, of course and arched her brow with a question and I knew she wasn't going to stop asking till I gave the full gist. “Twice in one day?” She gasped after I told her my ordeal and tears were in her eyes again. “How are you coping?” I shrugged like I wasn't affected, like my mental health wasn't already in shambles. “I'm winging it.” It was my problem to deal with and I didn't want to make her pity me even furthe
The CEO's Forever Pet 84. Stupid, stupid girl
REBECCAHe walked back to the car and I tried to catch my breath. What was that all about? I cupped my cheeks before following him back to the car and once I was strapped in, he drove off.I stole glances at him from the corner of my eyes, trying to figure out what was going on in his head. My jaw still tingled from the way he held it. Did he mean to kiss me back there?I knew Theo was attracted to me but having him act like it was another thing."So what's the plan?" he broke the silence."What plan?" I twisted my neck in his direction. He glanced at me from the rearview mirror before focusing on the road."You know… with Oliver.""You two got into a fight, didn’t you?" he still had a black eye.He lifted his shoulders in a shrug."Why?""Your man is cocky, arrogant and thinks everyone should bow to him just because he's Oliver Wright."That wasn't new information but, "He's not my man."He snorted as he turned a corner, "Sure. Just so you know, the rooms are barely soundproof."I wi

OLIVER I put down my phone after replying to her text. What were we going to talk about? I didn't know what to expect from Rebecca these days. My phone buzzed again and I picked it up, expecting it to be her but Annie, out of the blues, said she wanted to come over. What the fuck did she want now? Didn't I tell her to stay away from my house these days? Especially when she was literally itching to tell Rebecca the truth. I pressed the dial and waited for her to pick up. "Miss me-" "No," I frowned. "No and no. Stay away from my house." "Don't be so grumpy, Oliver. Rebecca must be traumatised. She needs a woman to speak with." "Certainly not you," I got up from and grabbed my suit jacket, ignoring the documents and calling it a day. Victor would have to deal with the rest for today. "I don't want you anywhere near my property.” "That's not the right attitude to marriage. It'll be our property-" "I mean it-" "Fuck you, Oliver. You'd cast me away after all I've done for you?”

The CEO's Forever Pet 123. THE END
REBECCAI put the coffee on the table and looked around.Where was Victor?He called me a few minutes ago that he'd be here.I glanced at the time. It was a few minutes past 6pm. and I had to rush to the grocery store to get groceries for dinner. Mom already sent me a list of things she would need.My phone rang and I quickly picked it up, "Hey, Tania.""Hey, girl. How are you doing?""I'm alright. Just waiting for Victor to show up so I can get home and get some sleep.""That assistant guy? What's he doing over there?" she wondered."He's here on a business trip and he's supposed to give me some documents to sign. Some kind of shares split." Oliver had a big part of Arthur's and my father's share and now he was transferring it back.Well… some."You're splitting it?""He is the adopted son of Arthur and should have Arthur's share.""Didn't they both decide to give it to you?""That was before Oliver came into the picture. Besides, I can't just take it all. He's worked hard for that c
The CEO's Forever Pet 122. Few Months Later
REBECCA:FEW MONTHS LATERI grabbed my coat off the hanger by the side of the door and threw it on, wore my boots and grabbed my bag pack. Gently and quietly, I tried to open the door-"Rebecca Hoffman, you come back here, right now!" my mother screamed from behind me and I yelped, turned around with a racing heart to find her glaring at me. She was still in her pyjamas and had on her hair net."Jesus, Mom! It's 8am. and we have neighbours," I tried to remind her but she only stormed towards me with her face in a pout and grabbed my hands."You're not leaving without breakfast, now sit!" She pulled me to a stool in the kitchen and she took out some pots."I'm going to run late," I whined. "I have class in about an hour and that professor is as strict as they come.""I'll come beat him up if you want."I rolled my eyes as she tried to make something simple and light while I drummed my fingers on the table. I pulled off my jacket and laid it to rest on the counter and scrolled through m
The CEO's Forever Pet 121. You used her
REBECCA"Is that why your mother is heavily guarded?" I wondered, making sense of it now as I took a step closer to him. "You've been associated with him. You used me-"He shook his head-"Say something," anything but of what use was it when the evidence stared me right in the face? He couldn't deny it. Not after what I've heard so clearly."I didn't…" he trailed off. "I didn’t use you… in the beginning, yes, I approached you because I was-""Oh my God!" I gasped and sobbed as the tears spilled over."But that was until I got to know you-""Yadda, yadda, yadda," Richard dismissed. "It's the same damn thing. You used her because she was close to Oliver and wanted to get closer to me. Well congratulations, it worked. You must be pleased with yourself now.""You know, the cops are fortunate to have you. Why don't you come work for me? I'll double-- no, triple your salary and we could start with you getting rid of that boy, Oliver for me. He's my adoptive grandchild and I can do whatever
The CEO's Forever Pet 120. Don't talk to her
REBECCAI stared at Theo in shock as the old man looked beyond pleased staring at him. Betrayed yet again? By everyone surrounding my life. I was betrayed by the one I thought would have my back."Why…?" I trailed off. I couldn't even cry or feel sorry for myself this time. "I trusted you-""You trust the wrong people," the old man said. "I tried to extend a genuine hand to help you but what did you do? You decided to bite a good hand. How does it taste now?" he glared at me but still had that look of triumph because he was clearly enjoying himself and his victory.I failed.Right at the edge of a breakthrough… I… "Why?" I screamed at him and Sophia gasped. I was immediately reminded that the two were still here and now they clung to each other as they trembled in fear."I can't believe I missed this spot," he sighed. "I searched for years and years for this yet you two idiots had this lying under your shop? Do you know what these are!" he screamed at them, instilling more fear and th

REBECCAMy father sure made a fool out of these people for fifteen whole years."Are you sure we're in the right place?" Theo asked again, refusing to believe his eyes and I looked at the picture my mother had confirmed."Yes," it was a coffee shop facing the Wright Company.How interesting was it that they all passed the place every day for fifteen years yet not one of them thought to come here to check."Wow. Okay. Let’s go in and order coffee? Or how does this work?" I looked at the key again and all that was on it was just numbers. "I guess we'll have to go in and find out." I opened the door and stepped out.We walked in together, and we walked right onto the front.The young woman behind the counter smiled, "Hello-" her eyes widened in realisation when she saw me but she was nice enough to shut her mouth and go straight to business. "What would you like to order?""Can I see the manager please?"She arched her brows, "Uhm… may I know why? Do you have a complaint? You can relay

REBECCA"Are you sure?" Theo asked over the phone and I shut the door and turned in the lock."Positive. I heard her discussing with Oliver while I was at his place then saw her pick it up from the ground."How could she have kept something like that away from me? She knew how much I was worried about her. I wanted to leave this damn country and the only reason we stayed back was because of her.I felt betrayed and this one hurt more than anything."Calm down. You're breathing too hard.""I can't help it. She betrayed me-""I'm sure she has her reasons. She wouldn't do that to you-"I tried to tell myself that but it sounded like a big fat lie and I didn’t want to delude myself. How could she trust Oliver more than me, her own daughter? After everything…"I'm gonna steal it," I whispered."What?""I need to know what's in that warehouse and I can't trust the fucking police. Help me, please."He took a while before he responded because he pondered on it-"You're the only one I have rig
The CEO's Forever Pet 117. Betrayed
REBECCAFrom the front door as I walked into the house to the living room where we used to watch movies and have little date nights, tears filled my eyes as I looked around. I trailed my fingers over the counter top in the kitchen and memories of when he once made my mother's favourite soup waltzed back in my head and I couldn't stop the tears from rolling down.This used to be a home once.Oliver and I were so comfortable around each other that we felt married. Or at least, I had felt that way. Clearly it was a delusion but it was everything to me at one point.I loved waking up to Saturday mornings where he would cook breakfast while I watched sometimes or he served me in bed. Where we both decorated with our favourite colours blending into something beautiful.Oh, I had dreams and he had orchestrated every single one of them. Whether he truly loved me or not, I would never know. Not like I even wanted to anymore. I was calling it quits.I climbed the stairs, remembering how he once
The CEO's Forever Pet 116. Gardening and memories
REBECCA I've been bedridden for a few days. I took the rest of my exams online with a supervisor assigned to me. It went smoothly despite the chaos of a few days but I didn't want anything to weigh me down.If I wasn't reading, I caught myself staring into space, thinking of my child and how he managed to survive.“I guess this one is really stubborn, isn't he?” I thought to myself. Just like his damn daddy. At least that was one way to know the baby was Oliver's.Despite seeing my condition, he still kept his mouth shut.Most nights I woke up from a nightmare, screaming the house down. It was always the same scene, only this time instead of the strange man who stabbed me, it was Oliver's grandfather while I watched Oliver stand at a distance with either his sealed or he rendered endless apologies instead.I was sick of hearing him apologise. I was tired of it. It burned in my memory and now whenever I thought about him, it was always about him saying sorry.Funny how he used to do f
The CEO's Forever Pet 115. You've earned it
OLIVER I was sent with a mission; to poison the Hoffman's down to their little girl. The old man was heartless but what did I care, it was a chance to be accepted and not to be thrown out to the streets once more.But that night, I picked up all my stuff and chose to run away for their own safety.I'd go to a river somewhere and drown because returning to the orphanage would only put the other kids in trouble and I didn't want to cause more trouble for anyone.A black van pulled up to me and I wasn't surprised to see my father's men. One of them grabbed me before I could bolt.“Pay up,” they said, one to the other. “I told you he couldn't do it.”“Look at him. He's a desperate little thing with no guts. You can't live a good life by being weak, you imbecile!” they smacked my head and tossed me about, laughing as they had fun.“I'll call them that I have the boy,” one of them said and took out his phone-“No!” I tried to reach for it but I was knocked down before I even knew what hit
