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
The CEO's "Little Man" 105: His Honey
As soon as he stepped into the room, the heads of both of the two occupants instantly whipped towards him. And it was only when he saw Angelina looking at him with wide, rounded eyes that he realized what he just did. He had been blinded by his jealousy and stormed into the room without thinking of the consequences and repercussions! He abruptly halted in his tracks and started fidgeting. What is he supposed to do now? What is he supposed to say? Although he has succeeded in stopping Angelina from feeding Nick the slice of pizza, he had unintentionally brought himself right before her! He has broken the promise he made to himself about staying away from her sight! So what now? What should he do in order to prevent her from overreacting? "Wow! What a beauty! Is that yours, Sir? Does it have a name? Can I please hold it for a second? Pretty please?"Angelina's sweet and melodic voice broke into his thoughts, making him look up sharply at her. Was she talking to him?! She seemed to
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
The CEO's "Little Man" 107: Mother's Love
"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
