The CEO's "Little Man" Chapter Thirty-one: Bewitched
Two weeks later, Nanna announced her intention of returning back to Spain, where she lived with her son and his family, much to the displeasure of everyone in the mansion, especially Angelina and Isabella who had gotten quite used to having the elderly lady around.However, before her departure, Angelina decided to throw a going-away party for her but the elder woman declined, claiming that she was too old for partying. Instead, she opted for a family outing with everyone, Maxwell inclusive. As such, he had to cancel all his meetings for that particular day at the office and let Mr. Kent at the helm of affairs for the day. He dressed casually in his chinos pants which he paired with a sky blue shirt. The sleeves of the shirt were rolled up to his elbows, exposing his ripped, sinewy muscles and the top two buttons left undone. With his signature Rolex wrist-watch, a pair of sneakers and his Ray-Ban hiding those gorgeous steely grey eyes, he was ready to go.Though it wasn't really a s

The day after Nanna left, Angelina woke up early as usual, got into the adjoining bathroom in her bedroom and freshened up. She had moved back into her own room immediately after Nanna left, as Maxwell had been repeatedly telling her to pack all her stuff and leave his room the instant Nanna stepped her foot out of the house. Even if he didn't, she herself would have taken the initiative because as much as he annoys her with his baseless accusations, she still feels bad whenever she wakes up in the middle of the night and finds him wide awake or dozing uncomfortably on the lazy sofa. Afterall deep down she's a human; a human with a soft heart, no matter what he thinks of her and so she can't stand seeing a fellow human suffering, even if he caused it by himself.After dressing casually in an orange top paired with white slacks and styling her hair in a neat chignon, Angelina fed Honey before going to the kitchen downstairs. However, immediately he saw her walk in, Alejandro slapped h

Maxwell had sent his private jet to convey his lawyer and best friend to Dubai so that they could finalize the new business deal he had embarked on. Unbeknownst to him, he was in for a great surprise when that friend-cum-lawyer arrived!He had gone to the airport by himself in order to pick up Ethan in a rental car. Since he had just come from a meeting, he was formally dressed in a charcoal black Louis Vuitton suit with matching sunglasses and shoes. And as he waited for the plane to touch down in the VIP terminal, he casually leaned with his back against the car and his legs crossed at the feet while scrolling through his phone, obliviously posing a very attractive, eye-catching picture fit for the front pages of all the bestseller magazines.He was busy speaking on the phone with Mr. Bentley, his new personal assistant when the long awaited plane finally arrived. As Ethan emerged from it moments later, Maxwell disconnected the call and without moving even an inch from where he eleg

Since she was going to an Arabian party, Angelina decided to dress like one. So she went to the boutique that was situated close to the hotel they were staying in and with the help of one of the salesgirls, she chose a beautiful, long Emirati dress and used her own personal credit card to pay for it as she never uses Maxwell's black card for any of her personal needs.Upon reaching the hotel lobby, she met the two friends who came downstairs purposely to search for her. "Oops! Sorry, I forgot to inform you guys that I was going to get myself an Arabian dress! Afterall, they say 'when you come to Rome, do as the Romans do!' Right, Ethan?" "Oh, you're so on point Americano! I will even follow your lead! Where did you get the dress from? Do they have anything for handsome blokes like yours truly or is it only for gorgeous Americanos?"Angelina giggled. "Nope. I'm sure there's something that could fit such a tall, handsome young Adonis! The boutique is just adjacent to this hot
Last Updated : 2022-12-20The CEO's "Little Man" Chapter Thirty-five: Good Feelings.
The first time they kissed, Angelina was a complete novice who had never been kissed by any man before so she didn't immediately kiss him back until she became a bit more confident of herself but not this time around. This time around, she wasn't a novice anymore and so she knows exactly what she wants and what she wants to give back. So when he kissed her like a ravenous lion, she instantly responded with equal vigour; kissing him back passionately and unrestrainedly…They hungrily kissed each other like they've been starving for a very long time. As if that was just what they've been waiting for since aeons ago. Like it was what they've both been anxious for, but set it aside; storing it away in deep, dark recesses where it has grown into something voracious and out of control…As they ravenously devoured each other's lips, kissing like their lives depended on it; as if that was their source of oxygen, everything in the background completely faded, even the slow, romantic music that

The weeks and months passed by with a jet's speed, and just like that, it was already five months since Maxwell and Angelina got married. By now, the bond between her and Isabella had become so strong that she doesn't even want to think about the future when they would have to separate from each other whether they liked it or not. Afterall, hers and Maxwell's marriage is a contract one with an expiration date and every passing day is bringing them closer and closer to that expiration date.Thinking about that makes Angelina so sad and gloomy and hence, she doesn't even like to think of it. She easily gets attached and when she does, she finds it very, very difficult to let go. Just like her dear pet Honey and best friend Alicia. She had gotten so attached to them that when Jeremy sought her help, she had given him the condition that it was only if the two of them come with her. And now, she had gotten quite attached to Isabella and she knew without any iota of doubt that when the time

Just like the other time, Angelina received a warm reception at the company she had worked in while disguised as the CEO's little man once upon a time. But unlike the previous visit, this time around she didn't stop to reminisce about the good old times she worked there as she had come here on a mission that required prompt action.When she got to the thirtieth floor, she didn't even stop to look at the decorations which were her handiwork as she headed straight to Mr. Bentley's office. Seeing her, he quickly got up and respectfully greeted her. "Good morning Mrs. Gal…I mean, Mrs. M.J. It's a pleasure to have you here." "It's a pleasure to see you too Aaron. Hope my husband is on seat? I need to see him now!"Mr. Bentley frowned. How on earth did the boss's wife know his first name? However, Angelina was too worried to realize her slip of tongue. All she cared about at the moment is talking to Maxwell so he could fire the betrayer's ass as soon as possible! "I'm sorry

All of a sudden, Angelina felt herself being roughly shoved away. She gasped at the sudden, unexpected action while staggering from the impact. Luckily, she was just lightly pushed away, without much force so she didn't fall or accidentally hit anything.With widened eyes, she looked up at the culprit, who was also looking at her with an aloof, cold and indifferent expression on his face. "Rehearsal time is over. Now back to reality. What makes you think you can barge in here and say what you feel like about my trusted employee and expect to be believed?"Angelina had never been more stunned in her life. She just couldn't believe her ears or eyes. All that…what he just did to her— pulling her into his arms, nuzzling his face into her hair, hugging her tightly and calling her his little man, were all just part of play acting?! He was just having a rehearsal?! Unbelievable!!But whether or not she found it hard to believe, the evidence was right there in front of her— he's now bac

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
The CEO's "Little Man" 113: Fun time
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
