The CEO's Forever Pet 98. Panic and beeping lights
REBECCA Oliver quickly masked his shock and his annoyance weighed down on his brows, "I came to have a talk with the doctor-""This is not the doctor's office.""Are you accusing me of something, Rebecca? Say it."He looked pissed but his red eyes still made me question his intentions. I wondered if he was here to see my mother but something strongly told me that was it.Did he cry?Did he hate her too like his grandfather did and was he here to finish her off?I turned my head to look at her, she was lying on the bed like she was asleep. She didn't move and for a moment there I thought the worst case scenario-"She's getting some rest," he read my mind. "She was awake when I came in but didn't say a word."Then why did he look like he was devastated? I thought back to what Annie said and she was right. I'd never look at Oliver the same way again. I was filled with nothing but questions in my heart and it made me doubt every single thing he has ever done for me and my mother."Okay,"
The CEO's Forever Pet 99. Shy away
REBECCAThe cops swarmed the place at once and my mother and I were moved to another room. After thorough inspection of the room, they began questioning the doctors, nurses and even the bodyguards that stood outside.Theo was nowhere in sight but he was the first one I called after seeing that device. He was currently on a mission and it would take him a while to return today. My ghost had left my body when I saw it but I walked out of the room, not wanting to scream to scare my mom. I called the bodyguards and they quickly identified it as a wireless microphone.Everything in that room was being listened to by someone at the other end of it.Our conversation- every word I spoke, every truth I told my mother had never been for her ears alone."Did they check the CCTV?" I asked the bodyguard who handed me some doughnuts and two drinks. I gave one to my mother and pulled him aside to continue our conversation. She was clueless the whole time she was being moved to another room.I still

OLIVER She knows something. She fucking knows something. Now I didn't know what she knew or how much she knew but I knew she was growing suspicious. Victor wouldn’t have said a word to her. Was it Theo then? That damned detective who was using her for his own gain- he wouldn't admit it but I fucking knew he was using her. He was trying to get closer only so he could exact revenge on my grandfather. I wasn't willing to share the information I had and he was desperate. It was either him or Annie. Why the fuck did she cancel the date again? She was always so eager, looking forward to the next 'pretend' scene. That woman was a psychopath and lived up to it. I stormed out of the room, ignoring Lucia's laughter at whatever Victor must've said. He was making her relaxed and tried to ease the tension. Besides Rebecca's glaring eyes, I knew I couldn't remain in the room. What if Lucia suddenly remembered me? "You said she was at home!" I growled to the guard who I had called to confirm
The CEO's Forever Pet 101- Her outburst
REBECCAI thought my whole world had already been ruined before my eyes but this time, this time it was so different and it hit me so hard but unlike before, I couldn't even drop to my knees and feel sorry for myself. I took one step and grabbed Oliver's suit and called him all the names in the book."Did you do this, huh? You did this, didn't you?"His stare was filled with regret and remorse as he made no attempt to push me away, almost like he accepted his fate here on out and would take whatever accusations I had to give."You know me very well-""And that's why I'm fucking asking you!" I yelled. Luckily, they had pulled me to the rooftop for the conversation. I wouldn't have been able to react this way if my mother was within earshot. She would yell and try to ask what the problem was.Oh, it's nothing, mom. Just that the whole world now knows how much of a gold digger your daughter is!"Please let him go, Rebecca," Victor begged and grabbed my wrists. "We're just as surprised as
The CEO's Forever Pet 102. A little easier
REBECCAI jerked awake at the hand that stroked my hair gently but I relaxed when I saw it was only my mother. She was shocked at my reaction at first and simply stared back at me with a frightened look but she managed a smile-- a nervous one and looked away."Sorry… I didn't mean to startle you. I just couldn’t help myself." she said.Help herself to what and why was I lying on a hospital bed-"You fainted," she responded after reading the confusion on my face. "The young man and his assistant were kind enough to bring you here."I looked around, the place didn't feel any familiar to the hospital my mother was staying in. In fact, it looked familiar. Too familiar-"How long was I out?""Enough to get us moved back to our house."My eyes widened in shock, "This is-"She nodded with excitement, "Still looks the same after fifteen years." She looked around and I did the same with tears in my eyes. It was just as I remembered it. Everything was exactly the same, like a real hospital.I h

REBECCAFew minutes later we were walking about in the house, trying to get familiar with everything. It had been so long I came here that even my memories were foggy. I still couldn't believe my family was fucking wealthy once upon a time."The young man put some bodyguards around the house."'Some' was an understatement. They were in every corner, every room, every hallway. I was starting to worry whether they were for our protection or they were here to stalk and watch us. Oliver was very twisted and I couldn't trust him."Does anything feel familiar?" I asked my mother who was quiet by my side as she read the map of the house to get by everywhere. It was a mansion and every detail was on the map. She had a confused pout on her lips as she glanced side by side."Hmm…" she hummed in question. "I don't… I don't know. The house is so huge." she said as if in astonishment."You used to live here with your parents," I tried to remind her but she nodded."I remember that much," she said.
The CEO's Forever Pet 104- Trauma
REBECCA"Hello, Rebecca," the old man said with a grin and even had the audacity to wave at me. He was enjoying this; messing with my mental health and being a thorn in my flesh."How dare you show your face here?" I clenched my fists by my side and his face hardened all of a sudden.The smile dropped instantly and he looked evil just standing there. The bars separating us would be oddly satisfying if he was in jail, charged for attempted murder and kidnapping.I wanted this man locked up in a place where his money wouldn't provide him protection or comfort. He has taken my peace and I wanted him far away from me."Is that anyway to treat an elder? One can't even get some damn respect around here. First you turn my son against me, now you're shoving your attitude in my face"! He yelled, scolding me and I shook under the fury of his voice. The heavy scorn of his eyes could make anyone tremble and I began to wonder how Oliver dealt with this growing up.It must've been worse for him sin
The CEO's Forever Pet 105. No cops
REBECCAThe nurse arrived a few minutes later and she led my mother away. She was sedated and made to rest in her room. I stood outside, pondering on her words as I watched her sleep. The fear in her eyes rushed back to my mind whenever I closed my eyes and I just knew I was going to have nightmares tonight.There were so many questions left unanswered and the only person willing to help me was Annie. I hoped she wouldn't hold back any information this time."Miss. Rebecca?" the nurse approached me. "She just needs to rest for a while. You should get some rest too. You've been unconscious for three days. You're not supposed to be under any form of stress."One glance at my mother and I knew that would be easier said than done. "I'll try.""Don't forget to take your medication every morning and night, make sure you eat a lot. You're losing a lot of weight and this could affect you," she said with kind eyes.I nodded, thanking her again before she walked away. I watched her sleep for a
