The CEO's "Little Man" 106: Tough Decision
After his emotional breakdown, it took a long while before Maxwell became able to get a hold of himself. He just remained sitting on the cold marble floor, deep in his depressing thoughts while gently stroking the colorful parrot's feathers.Eventually, Honey succumbed to the gentle lulling ministrations and dozed off in Maxwell's arms. So he ever so gently and carefully placed it down on the comfy cushion that Angelina had long since put inside the birdcage.Thereafter, instead of staying put in one place, Maxwell felt himself being drawn towards his beloved wife's room once again. Truth be told, he wanted to do as she wished but try as hard as he might, he just couldn't stay away from her. It's as if he's an addict and she's his drug. He just can't help himself.Just as he expected, the sight that greeted his eyes when he stopped at his usual spot broke his heart into more pieces yet again. Angelina and Nick were seated close to each other on the two-seater couch, having crazy fun t

"Oh no son, you can't do that! You can't just leave her with him like that! Can't you see? That's exactly what he wants! It was his plan all along. I'm sure he's just manipulating everything and using it to his own advantage. If not, why would he insist on not telling her who you really are to her? Shine your eyes well, son. This is just a ploy to steal her away from you! Don't you see the way he looks at her? He just wants her for himself! And remember, he was her teenage crush. What do you think would happen then if you leave her in his care, and they spend days and nights together all alone, while all along Angelina thinks she's single and free to mingle? Without her knowing that she has a legally married husband who's thousands of miles away? I'm not trying to insinuate anything son, but please, I want you to just calm down and think deeply and wisely about it first." "Don't make your decision in haste and without rational thought. I know you are doing this for Angie but ple

While the mother and son duo were deeply engrossed in their special bonding moment, the third occupant of the room was standing by the side with a furious and livid expression on his handsome face.Ethan couldn't fathom why his best friend gave in to that scheming and manipulative doctor! Just like Dorothy, even he doesn't believe that it's okay to leave Angelina in Dr. Nick's care while Maxwell is thousands of miles away. The manipulative doctor must have concocted those white lies about Angelina being prone to falling into a coma once again if she's told that she's married to Maxwell at the moment. No, it is as clear as day to Ethan that that is just a ploy to have Angelina all to himself so he can brainwash her and make her fall in love with him!But Ethan will not just sit still and allow him to succeed! He might have emotionally blackmailed Maxwell into giving in to his demands but he can't do so with Maxwell's best friend and lawyer! With one last look at the mother and son who

Maxwell's mind has already been made up. And so despite all Ethan's efforts, pleadings and coaxing, he made all the necessary arrangements for flying back home to London that same day.Having no other choice, Ethan reluctantly gave in and all three of them—him, Maxwell and Dorothy were on their way out of the hospital with one of his private jet's crew men pulling Maxwell's trolleys behind him when they met Angelina and Nick who were also on their own way out.Ignoring his doctor's instructions, Maxwell had gotten rid of his crutches despite the fact that his right leg isn't fully healed yet and so he was just slowly dragging the leg along with him. And when they unexpectedly came face to face with Angelina and her friend-cum-doctor, he came to a halt so suddenly and so fast that he nearly tripped and fell if Ethan hadn't been standing ever ready close by to support him if or when the need arises. As the three of them came to an abrupt halt, Angelina and Nick also stopped on their t
Last Updated : 2023-02-25The CEO's "Little Man" 110: Her Cage
The next morning, Angelina woke up to the disturbing sound of a dog barking incessantly. Yawning and stretching her limbs, she sat up on the bed that felt so strangely comfortable. Bed? Comfortable?!Angelina instantly opened her groggy eyes as wide as she could. Where on earth had she gotten a bed to lie on, a very comfortable one at that? With a frown on her gorgeous face, she scanned her eyes all around the unfamiliar surrounding and it was only when they fell on a bookshelf filled with medical books that everything that happened in the past few days came flooding back to her.She's currently in Cage's apartment. She had followed him here the previous day after being discharged from the hospital. The hospital where she had been on admission for God-knows-how-long after having an accident. An accident which had apparently made her lose part of her memories since for the life of her, she can't recall anything beyond her pre-teen years. All she can recall is being a twelve years old y

Just like Dr. Nick had warned Angelina, he was quite busy and occupied at the hospital throughout the day. However, he still squeezed out time, though just a bit briefly, to check in on her in his office where she had remained ever since their arrival at the hospital.To occupy herself, she had switched on the television set but she soon lost interest in it when she kept flicking through the channels and couldn't find anything that appealed to her. As she sat down idle on the single couch in the vast office, her eyes began roaming all over the surrounding out of their own volition. And as she did so, her eyes fell on Dr. Nick's laptop which was placed on his desk.Like a moth drawn to a flame, all of a sudden, she just felt herself being pulled towards it as she leapt up on her feet and rushed to the desk. Just like it happened to her with the guitar and the other musical instruments, she just found herself flipping the laptop open and turning it on. As soon as it was switched on, sh

After a while, Angelina finally snapped out of her stupor. She quickly made her way to the door, opened it and poked her head out to search for Robert. He was standing just outside the door, leaning with his back against the wall and upon seeing her, he instantly pulled away from the wall and stood in attention with his head bowed once again. "Oh, ma'am! You should have just called out to me and I would have been there in a jiffy. So, how is it? Should I make a call to the big boss now? He has been calling and…"Robert didn't get to finish saying what he intended to say as his phone suddenly began to ring, making him bow his head even more deeper and with more respect and attention, as if the caller can see him through the phone. Showing the phone to Angelina, he quickly said, "He's the one calling once again. What should I tell him? Do you like it or should they try a different restaurant?"Instead of answering, Angelina extended her hand to him, asking, "May I speak to h

Dr. Nick didn't get a chance to return to his office until much later in the evening when he had rounded up all he had to do for the meantime. And after having one look at his tired face, Angelina abruptly got up, took the lunch basket in her left hand before holding Dr. Nick's hand with the right one. "You're coming home with me right this second, Dr. Lifesaver!"However, instead of letting her to pull him along with her like she intended to, Dr. Nick stayed put in his place while shaking his head and saying, "No Jolie. I can't leave now. I just performed surgeries on two of my patients and I have to be there when they eventually come to. I need to assess them and…" "Oh no, Dr. Lifesaver, you have already done your part. There are other doctors who can do whatever needs to be done. Besides, you look so tired and dead on your feet and as far as I know, you can only save lives when you yourself are alive and well! So like I said earlier, you are coming home with me now

The CEO's "Little Man" Epilogue
Six months later… In the just concluded bakery section of the state of the art buildings of Isabella Gallagher Memorial Foundation, a heavily pregnant Angelina waddled around, inspecting the ultramodern baking equipments. Even though Lucy had volunteered to be the caretaker of the London-based foundation center, from time to time, Angelina goes there to inspect things, especially when a new project has been completed or when some newly- bought equipments have arrived. That's not because she didn't trust Lucy's capability of handling things superbly. No, far from it. She knows she's quite capable and just goes there to make sure things are running smoothly. After all, the foundation is her pet project and her lifelong dream and she loves it just like her own baby! So far, apart from the basic infrastructures that had already been established in both the American and London-based foundation centers, a culinary school, sewing and knitting center, sports arena, arts school for painting
The CEO's "Little Man" 120: Happily Ever After...
Over the moon with joy, Maxwell hastily slipped the ring unto her finger and as he got up to seal it with a kiss, Angelina's hand suddenly appeared in front of his lips and pushed them away from hers. "Not so fast, lover boy! We have a score to settle first."Maxwell's eyes instantly widened in trepidation. What score do they have to settle? He thought they have already crossed that bridge earlier. He thought she had already forgiven him! But before he could voice out his fears, Angelina's melodic voice reached his ears. "You came here, wowed me with your mind-blowing confession, went ahead to steal my breath away by telling me I'm the one for you, your peace of mind, your bane of existence, your home, your soulmate and so many other mind-blowing things before going down on one knee and proposing to me. You did all that, without even giving me any chance to state my own feelings. Oh I forgot, I don't suppose to have any feelings. After all, 'you know I don't share your feel
The CEO's "Little Man" 119: Confession
Maxwell couldn't believe what he was seeing and hearing. And he knows for sure that he isn't dreaming so could this mean…He looked towards Ethan who was standing behind Angelina for confirmation and just as he nodded his head to confirm that indeed she has regained her memories, Angelina's voice rent the air once again. "Pfft! Can you believe this, bro? I thought that your friend would be a little more excited about seeing me but it seems…"Angelina never got to finish saying what she intended to as she suddenly felt her body engulfed in a very tight hug against a warm, tall, hard and familiar body. In a flash, her own hands automatically wrapped themselves around the tall, imposing figure. At the same time, her eyes fluttered close on their own accord. Their joined bodies reverberated as in unison, both she and Maxwell released very huge, deeply felt sighs of relief. Home, at last! At long, long last they are finally where they rightfully belonged; in the most blissful home ev
The CEO's "Little Man" 118: A Reunion Of Lovers
Ethan and Robert had just finished having an early dinner together and were on their way to the airport when the former received a call. Upon checking the caller id on the screen, a frown materialized on his face. But that notwithstanding, he swiped and answered the call. "What's up Dr. I-know-it-all? Have you perhaps forgotten your stethoscope with me? Or is it your brain?"From the other end, Dr. Nick sighed. "Look, Mr. Marlowe, I haven't called you for another round of bickering. We need to talk. Urgently. Where are you now? Since you're answering your calls I can tell that you haven't boarded the plane yet, so where can I meet you?"It was Ethan's turn to frown as he instantly became alert. "What's the matter? What happened? How is Angie? Don't tell me anything happened to her! M.J would kill you if anything happens to even a single hair on her head!"Dr. Nick huffed. "Relax, dude. Jolie is perfectly fine. Well, I guess she'll be if only you keep quiet, listen t
The CEO's "Little Man" 117: What God Has Joined Together...
Dr. Nick clamped his eyes shut as out of nowhere, sudden pain, sadness and gloom overcame him. How could he have been so blinded? How could he have let his feelings cloud his rational thinking? He had fallen for a woman who is way beyond his reach! He knew right from the onset that she belonged to someone else, that she was someone else's wife but he still let his guard down such that his hidden and long-suppressed feelings for her gradually resurfaced!And now, she is pregnant. What cruel game is this that fate is playing with them all? Here he is, deeply and passionately in love with his childhood buddy but he can neither express it nor even think of acting on it because she's carrying the baby of another man. Another man whom she has absolutely no memories of at all– the man she believes is nobody but a complete stranger to her! God! What kind of mess is this?!What is he supposed to do now? How is he going to break the news of her pregnancy to her when she doesn't even remember h
The CEO's "Little Man" 116: Shocking Realization
Angelina grinned widely at him. "Of course! You're my best friend so of course you can't just like me! And you know the feeling is mutual too, right? You're the bestest best friend in the whole wide world and so I love you too!"Once again, Dr. Nick gave her that strange, intense look and cleared his throat. "Erm…Jolie, I have something that I want to tell…"Just then, the shrill sound of his phone interrupted him and as he looked down at the caller id, his entire demeanor instantly changed. Without answering the call, he abruptly got up from his seat while saying to Angelina, "Shit! I completely forgot that I'm supposed to meet someone by two pm today and it's already a quarter to two now."Perplexed at his reaction to the call, Angelina, who had also seen the caller id before he silenced the phone, frowned up at him in confusion. "Who is this Mr. Blondie whose mere call has gotten you so worked up like this? You don't even behave this way when the hospital medical
The CEO's "Little Man" 115: A Subtle Confession
Maxwell stood in front of the large painting of Angelina and himself in his exquisitely furnished living room, slowly tracing the outline of his wife's gorgeous face with misty eyes and a forlorn and wistful expression on his face.All of a sudden, he felt a hand on his shoulder and even before her gentle, soothing voice rent the air, he knew it was his mother. "You know that staring at her picture will not magically conjure her up, right? Why are you doing this to yourself, son? When will you stop punishing yourself? It's been almost two months now since we left Croatia. Since you left your wife with a complete stranger! All you do is keep sending money, stuffs and either Ethan or Robert to go check on her while you remain here torturing yourself with depressing thoughts. Just take a look at yourself. You haven't just lost a lot of weight but also look so haggard! Arnold told me that once I'm not here, you don't eat at all and hardly sleep at night. And now you're standing here
The CEO's "Little Man" 114: When Hidden Feelings Resurface...
When Dr. Nick had given Angelina the two gadgets that Maxwell sent over for her, she had only accepted the laptop and refused to accept the phone, claiming that she had no use for it since she had no one to communicate with.Even though that's what she claimed, the real reason is because she doesn't want any reminder of her past life at the moment, the past life that she has no memories of as at present. She knows that once she has a phone, someone connected to her forgotten past might call her and that will inevitably push back those depressing thoughts which she had shoved away to the forefront and hence, make her sad and gloomy. And that's the last thing she wanted at the moment. All she wants is to pretend as if all is well, to live in the moment, to be happy and keep having great fun with her best friend. Therefore, she surely doesn't want a phone as of now! If her memories return in the future, then she'd surely require a phone. But as of now, she had no need for it!When Dr. Ni
