The CEO's "Little Man" 97: Foggy State
Since the powerful bike was going at high speed, the impact of the crash caused Angelina, who was still standing when the accident occurred, to be violently thrown off the motor bike until she crashed headlong into the van so hard and so fast that her helmet-less head instantly cracked at the side and began to bleed while her entire body went limp as she slumped down on the road, unconscious. As for Maxwell, it was his entire body that suffered the brunt of the crash, most especially his right leg. Since he still had his helmet fastened on his head, the accident didn't affect his head at all but he suffered many injuries on different parts of his body. But unlike Angelina, he didn't instantly fall unconscious even though he was severely injured and was gradually losing a lot of blood. Despite his state, Maxwell torturously dragged his severely injured body towards Angelina's still and unmoving one. He couldn't even crawl not to talk of getting up on his feet to walk but still, he ig
The CEO's "Little Man" 98: Nicholas Reed aka Cage
Just like that, a smile engulfed Angelina's face. Eager to feed her eyes with the sight of him, she slowly lifted her eyelids which strangely felt quite heavy.As her heavy and somewhat blurry eyes finally opened completely, they fell on a very handsome guy with hair as dark as a moonless night and as eyes as blue as the azure sky. His muscular and hunky body was garbed in blue scrubs, matching the color of his eyes and he had a stethoscope hung around his neck.With a beaming smile on his face, the doctor drew even closer to his patient, grasping her hand tightly in his as he excitedly rambled out, "Jolie! You're finally awake! Thank God! I can't believe this! Jolie, it's me, Cage! Longest time, huh? Oops! Sorry I didn't even ask, how are you feeling now? Do you feel pain anywhere? Does your head still hurt? Do you feel dizzy? If you feel any pain, anything out of the ordinary? Don't hesitate to tell me if you feel anything, Jolie."The young doctor kept rambling non-stop in exc

Dr. Nicholas took an even deeper breath. It's confirmed now. What he has been fearing for ever since the results of her CT scan came through had just been confirmed. Angelina had lost her memory. At least some parts of it. Reaching out for her hand that was free of IV tubes once again, he placed it in between both of his own before looking at her and speaking in his most gentle, doctor-like voice, "It's 2023 now, Jolie, not 2012. And you're twenty-three now." Angelina rolled her eyes. "Hmm! You and your silly jokes! Not funny at all. What's next now? Let me guess, since you're dressed up like a doctor and acting just like one with that oh-so-professional tone, the next thing you'll tell me is that I fell down and hit my head and as the good doctor you are, you're treating me! Haha! Nice try but better luck next time."Instead of laughing out loud and exclaiming "Bull's eye! You got me, Jolie!" as she expected him to do, Nick just kept on staring at her with that same serious
The CEO's "Little Man" 100: Bitter Truths
Thinking that it was just one of her usual jokes, Maxwell gave her his signature lop-sided smile before speaking to her in his characteristic deep, baritone and magnetic voice. "It's me, your one and only H.B. Ah, that reminds me, you never told me what 'H.B' stands for. But we'll get to that later. Now tell me, how are you feeling? How's your head? Do you feel any pain? Are you alright? Do you want something? You've been surviving on fluids for weeks so you must be hungry! What do you want to eat? What is she supposed to eat, doc? She's okay now, right? Why don't you give me a list of foods safe for her to take? Ethan had gone to get some supplies so I can just call and ask him to get it right away."All the while Maxwell was talking, Angelina was just staring at him with a bewildered expression on her face. She couldn't fathom why a total stranger was acting so caring, compassionate, chummy and familiar with her. She might be a very friendly, bubbly and cheerful person but not t
The CEO's "Little Man" 101: Damaged
Angelina was utterly and completely dumbstruck. She just remained sitting there, with both her mouth and eyes wide open in utter shock. It took a long while before she could get control of her vocal cords and stutter incredulously, "M--my h--hus— what? I--am married?!"Nick nodded in confirmation. "Yes Jolie. You're married. And from what I've heard, it has been a year now since the two of you got married. You had even come here to Croatia on a celebratory anniversary trip only to end up getting into an accident."With her eyes as wide as saucers, Angelina turned to look at the frozen-still Maxwell with shock, disbelief, horror and many other emotions evident in her eyes. Then all of a sudden, she started shaking her head vigorously while repeatedly chanting, "No, no, no, this can't be happening. It cannot be! It's only a dream. Only a bad, bad dream!"As she said that, her body began trembling and as Nick put his arms around her while gently consoling her, just like mag
The CEO's "Little Man" 102: Total Stranger.
Jeremy was the one who first found his voice among all three of them. "So what happens now, doctor? Is there some sort of treatment? Does she have to undergo some form of therapy or is it drugs that would be used to cure her? Surely the memory loss is temporary and curable, right?"Dr. Nicholas Reed stifled his fingers together and placed his elbows on the desk in front of him before puffing out air from his mouth. "Unfortunately, Jolie's ailment is neither medically nor therapeutically curable. No form of therapy or drugs can magically bring her lost memories back. But the good thing is that all hope is not lost yet. There's a possibility that she might regain her lost memories, but note the keyword here— 'might'. There's no hundred percent assurance that she would because studies have shown a significant percentage of patients with the same form of amnesia that never regained their lost memories. However, another significant percentage did recover theirs, sometimes through tr
The CEO's "Little Man" 103: Game Of Fate
Maxwell clamped his eyes tightly shut in great emotional pain that surpassed every physical pain he has ever suffered from. Even the multiple communited fractures he sustained after the unfortunate motorbike accident is nothing compared to the emotional pain he's going through at the moment.Angelina, his legally married wife, his beloved angel, his one and only angelic dove looking at him like that, shouting and calling him a total, complete stranger? Not just that, she's saying that to none other than the man she once had feelings for, while clinging on to him so tightly as if she had seen a ghost or a monster and he's her only lifeline?!Seeing the distraught and terrified expression on the broken man's face, both Alicia's and Jeremy's hearts went out to him. Jeremy walked up to him and standing right beside the wheelchair, he placed a comforting hand on the forlorn man's shoulder and gently patted him twice in a manly comforting gesture. At that, Maxwell took in a much-needed deep
The CEO's "Little Man" 104: Mysterious Gifts
It has been a week since Angelina regained her consciousness. And even though Dr. Nicholas Reed had deemed her fit enough to be discharged after a thorough check up and review of her medical tests, Maxwell insisted that she remain in the hospital for the time being.Even he himself had long since been given the green light by his own doctor but after careful consideration, he decided that staying at the hospital is his best option. That's mainly because of the way Angelina adamantly refused to follow him and the tantrums she throws whenever she sees him. Knowing that if she was to be discharged, she'd definitely insist on following the blasted Cage guy and that's not something he can endure or tolerate. That's why he made up his mind for both of them to remain in the hospital where she'd still be within his line of sight. After all, in the hospital he can be able to keep an eye on the two childhood friends and also, it would be hardly likely for them to cross that friendship zone in t
