Chapter 10

Ryan’s point of view

I was already late when I arrived at NT’s venue for the interview they’ve scheduled with me to air on their channel.

There was no time to prep for the show so I was instantly ushered into the shooting room as soon as I came in.

I was told to wait for the host to announce my arrival and invite me to stage. It was then I looked over to the stage, and shot a small smirk at who I found seated already with the said host.

I waved and beckoned at the manager who was close to me, “Wasn’t I told this would be a solo interview?” I queried when he got close enough.

“Well yeah, but we made a last minute decision to sit you both to get a wider audience. Both your supporters and his would be tuning in to hear what you both have to say.” The wired intercom he has plugged in his ear beeped as he pressed on it.

“Hey, yeah he’s ready.” He looked up at me, “You’re going in,” he told me and then quickly walked away and towards his crew.

I drew in a long breath to le

    Chapter 11 Sebastian’s point of view Awe took hold of my face, my expression, my sense of self, basically all of me. Courtesy of his sudden confession, words that influenced my current state of awestruck. What does he mean by that?…. ‘Seb I was in love with you. I was and still am…’ the words replay over and over again in my head, in a blissful echo that sounded peaceful rather than dangerous. He closed the small gap that separated us, then made to cup my cheek when I ducked out of his reach and step away from him to the right side of the elevator wall. His brows creased in haze. I scoffed. I know this wasn’t the reaction he expected from me after my little showcase at his confession. However, who does he think he’s dealing with? A ten year old who’s never been out in the world? Cause that’s the kind of person he can trick successfully and fool with his words. “You really expect me to melt at the heard of that didn’t you?” I asked, as another scoff fell through. “Gosh look at

    Chapter 12 Ryan’s point of view It seems unbelievable, totally surreal that Seb would think that my confession is a lie. That he would think my love for him is a plot to achieve his downfall. Meanwhile it was the beautiful feelings I developed for him that stirred this shit up in the first place. Perhaps if I hadn’t written a letter for my father to find, maybe- just maybe this wouldn’t be our fate at the moment. Or if I hadn’t fallen in love with my best friend. When I finally escaped my father and met with my true family, I’d thought all will be well and that I’ll be reunited with my best friend once again. However, once they learnt of my non platonic affections for him through my deranged foster father. They instantly kicked against the idea and forbade the decision. They actively fought against the sick part of me that was also in love with my best friend. They call it sick and demented, that it wasn’t right and an abomination. Mom in particular was the pin on

    Chapter 13 Sebastian’s point of view The environment was as greenish as I remembered, calm and the seething epitome of serenity. It was indeed the perfect place for her. I coursed through the passage that led to her assigned ward, my gaze locked on the picture hidden inside the locket hung to my necklace. I don’t wear the necklace often, but I keep it with me at all times. I usually bring it out whenever I’m visiting, because it’s the one object that reminds her of me. I arrived at the room, and opened the door to her seated comfortably on her rocking chair, carefully knitting on what seems like a sweater and humming a delicate sound along. “Nana,” I called out softly for her attention. She looked up at me at the heard of my voice, confusion on her face as she sized me up and down. “Who are you, gentleman?”I snickered at her question as I walked over to her, bringing the locket I had with me into display. “I’m this guy,” I showed her the picture tucked away inside the locket.

    Chapter 14 Ryan’s point of view “Mom can I talk to you in private?” I flashed out a forced smile as I gestured at her to follow me upstairs. “Sure honey.” She patted the duke’s girl as she stood up and walked after me. I said nothing yet as we ascended the stairs and waited for us to enter my room before I turn around to let out my serious reaction. “What the fuck?” My arms flayed up in addition. “Betrothed? When? Where? How? Why?” “Calm down,” “How on earth did you expect me to calm down about this? All of a goddamn sudden!” “It was the right thing to do,” she said all of a sudden, crossing her arms over her chest as she slowly paced to the side of my room. “You were becoming more insolent than before, doing a lot of things without thinking. This was the right call,” she enlightened, spoken like a true villain. “I don’t get you. Insolent how? What are you on about?” “When your sister showed me that video of you online, abruptly pulling that Sebastian into a kiss, I knew at

    Chapter 15 Sebastian’s point of view The next day came faster than I expected. I’d gave one of the board members a phone call yesterday to cancel the meeting they’ve scheduled and defer it for today’s noon. He was to round around the decision and keep everyone informed. The visit yesterday has gotten me in a bit of a sentimental mood that I didn’t want everyone to be able to read or observe. So there was no way I could attend that meeting with an aura like such, gloomy and like not myself. I mean sure I’m a master of poker faces, but lately my face has been wearing emotions far more than I can count. And it’ll be a major let down in my life if I let those roaches read into my mood so I better run instead. Donna was the first person that came to me as soon as I stepped into the company, all professional and quirky as usual. “Good morning Seb, what’s with the mood? It’s extra dark and intense. You had a fight with someone before you got here?” She quizzed as she reached to collect

    Chapter 16 Ryan’s point of view My phone pinged beside the documents I was going through and I was going to ignore whoever texted until another ping came in again, and again, and again until I took a pause with what I was doing and check out who and what the text was about. It was from Donna, Seb’s secretary. Yeah I forgot she has my contacts. …Why is your sister Seb’s new secretary?… …Is she disowned like she claimed?……Or broke like she said?… ….Did you send her here?…. I read the texts gotten from her. Confused at first, but then analyzed and comprehended her words. My sister is Seb’s new secretary. Now Donna is confused on whatever Vee must have cooked for them. She must have lied to Seb that she’s broke, disowned, and needed to stand on her own was why she needed a job. Gullible Seb too must have fallen for her lies and allowed that vicious snake into his space for Donna to reach out to me in panic. I have to talk to Seb. …..Can you set up a meeting between Seb and I.

    Chapter 17 Sebastian’s point of view “Yes it’s all in the presentation that was emailed to you. I’m quite the perfectionist, so I’ve drafted the answers to all the questions you might have, no single details left unraveled, it’s all in the file. Kindly go through it and let me know your feedback,” I spoke into my phone. “Alright then, pleasure doing business with you.” “The pleasure is mine.” The call ended afterwards and a smile drew onto my lips. I’ve finally landed The Aces into a deal with me, and our partnership is promised to be all over the air tomorrow. It was worth the smile on my face. If only Xavier hadn’t been a pain to the neck, and managed to become an investor as well then I would have become over-joyous. Now I need to hunt harder for another multi-billionaire tycoon to either invest with me or partner with my work. Both of which will always benefit me. A knock rain down on my door, that halted my moment of glory abruptly. Who could be knocking? Donna has a lan

    Chapter 18 Ryan’s point of view “So you mean to say it was I who invited you over to LA? Via a letter?” I didn’t wait for her to respond before I continued, “If we’ve been in contact through letters in 2026 that there is no use for mobile phones or media services, how come I wasn’t enthusiastic about your arrival? I wonder why I’d prioritize my work over spending some time with you?” I wanted her to see the shade in this whole situation, how she’s a victim of a plot. She’d nodded alongside my words that I believed she has seen what I wanted her to see. “I didn’t even know. I thought it was because I refused your invitation because I wanted to surprise you with my presence instead, so I thought you were pissed that I refused and showed up unannounced. And I still think you prioritized your work over me because you’re still pissed at me?” She answered my rhetorical questions and proceed to prove to me that there is absolutely nothing useful inside that pretty head of hers. Useless.

    Chapter 64Ryan’s point of view I decided it was better to finish up with Marcelene first before I go on and about the rest of my day, so instead of a visit first to the hospital to check on my gramps, we rode instead to the court we’ve picked out to get us married. I already spoke with the court’s officiators beforehand, as well as our legal marriage registrar, they’re currently waiting for us to be the first they’ll attend to today. This of course sets Marcelene on a glee path to hear that I’m fulfilling my promise finally, she’s tried all she could to get me to talk to her about why I’m stuck in a gloomy mood, but I’ve only dead the attempts and kept to myself. I don’t know how I’d open my mouth to tell that the guy I’m in love with was revealed to me yesterday’s night to be the murderer of my father, and the same guy might have requested me to stay away from him. A request I agreed to because I forced myself to think it’s for his happiness. And to think I wasn’t truly going t

  • The CEO’s Private Desires    Chapter 63

    Chapter 63 Sebastian’s point of view No way. He betrayed me once, so he wouldn’t try it again. He wouldn’t release my psycho brother from jail just because he wanted my downfall, the same brother he knew tried to kill me and nearly had me forever on life support. I simply refuse to think he would. I was seated patiently in the darkness, he should be here in One… Two… The door creaked open, and his hand went straight to the switch. Upon giving light to the room, he met me seated right on his bed, backed up to the headboard with a small remote with just a single button on it. “Mirroring my moves I see,” he said, but I smiled back at him. “I upgraded it,” I told him before I slammed on the remote I have with me and brought down the machine mask also with me over my face. Soon enough, gas flooded out and began to smoke up the whole room. I watched him struggle to react against the gas, but soon fell victim and collapsed on the floor unconscious. It was only then I jumped do

  • The CEO’s Private Desires    Chapter 62

    Chapter 62Sebastian’s point of view It just goes on to prove that Ryan truly was a white snake under a white armor, he was no knight for me at all, he’s a snake and has always been. I remember the night Donna came for a sleepover at my house, when she told me about the arranged engagement. We spoke about it all night and kind of agreed that there’s no way Ryan would actually consider the arrangement. Yes at that time a part of me believed he wouldn’t do it because he said he’s in love with me, while the other part just didn’t want an old friend to get into a lifelong of unhappiness. But little did I know that I was the fool, because tell me why Ryan was captured hand in hand smiling as he secretly exit the court with his new wife beside him. I recognized the chick, it was the same girl she brought with him to the club. Why do people betray? Like I’m genuinely confused, why do you feel the need to break someone’s trust and shatter the loyalty they’ve built up for you? Is it a fun

    Chapter 50Ryan’s point of view This is another work of Matthew Simmons. I’m sure of it, cause who on earth who else on earth find it amusing to leak private stuffs about me to the internet and put me in a constant state of discussion.It was just recent that pictures surfaced the internet about me and Seb captured in an intimate moment, not too long, barely twenty fours hours later was the news of my marriage.I was in no dark mood, I’m furious. I’ve been like that ever since I got the call to check the latest news. Though I’ve had my team on it again to find out who was the source of this new leak, as well as get rid of the news from the internet. They were already on it, but still doesn’t kill my anger. Who is Matthew Simmons? How is he stalking me effortlessly? He knows I got wedded this morning, knows I went to the club and met up with Seb. How? Just how?! Unless of course he’s getting tips from someone close to me, and who might that be if not the witch I have as a sister.

  • The CEO’s Private Desires    Chapter 60

    Chapter 60Sebastian’s point of view It was only fitting I give my little brother a deserving funeral, he might not deserve it, but it’s a deed that’ll preserve my humanity. I had to take him out. I’ve been taking a lot of chances, I’ve been getting tricked a lot lately and it’s enough. I badly wanted to believe him, to think that he’s telling the truth and sincerely wants to be my brother. I do, I wanted to seriously believe him. But then I’m reminded of the so much work Ryan went through to convinced me that he regrets our past and wants a future with me. He professed his false love to me on a national television, the confession was broadcasted live and all round the city. Yet it was to an end, and was never genuine like a part of me wished it would be. It was only a stunt to have me at his whim. No more mercy. No more forgiveness. No more second chances. No more getting fooled. My brother’s death was inevitable, he’s an impulsive psychopath if that’s a thing. He operates on h

    Chapter 59Sebastian’s point of view “Wakey wakey little brother, get out of that dream world already.” I tapped repeatedly on his cheek until his drowsy eyes slowly pulled wide and apart till he jerked at the sight of my face. Good one! He’s awake. His head snapped around for a three sixty room inspection. Oh we’re no longer in his apartment, or even somewhere neat enough to conserve his death. I brought him to my private warehouse, where I’ve gotten most of my darkest shit done.“Where are we? What is this place? You?” His furious gaze trailed back to me, deadly and a sight for me to laugh at. I let out a deep breath before I stepped back from him. “This will either be the place you die or the place where you save yourself,” I began, then turned my back and walked over to the table in the room with us. On the table was a tray that carried various items that I’ve had provided for me to draw on his blood and carve pain into his skins. There we have a blade, dagger, a lot of sharp

  • The CEO’s Private Desires    Chapter 57

    Chapter 57 Ryan’s point of view It was hard to believe what my mom told me, but even harder to take it all in when she proved the truth to her words. The truth that indeed Sebastian Torres, the man I’ve loved since the early years of my life was my father’s killer. I spent the whole night in serious sober, unable to blink my eyes close for a rest. My head pounded with more thoughts and question than I could control, and only one man could answer all these questions. Only one man, the suspect himself. No. No no he’s not a suspect. I shouldn’t call him that, ‘Maybe that’s because he’s no suspect and rather the confirmed killer of your father,’ a voice in my head jabbed at me. Confirmed killer? I mean yes I watched the video, heard the voice, saw his face, watched him took the goddamn shot and a part of me still thinks it’s all fabricated and Seb remains an angel. Call me pathetic, but I don’t want to believe this. This cannot happen to me!!!! No! It just can’t! The whole co

    Chapter 56Sebastian’s point of view The next day arrived and I was up on my bed barely three hours after I settled down for a rest. For me that was enough to rest to start the day. There’s a say that goes around saying there was no rest for the wicked. Well the wicked part of me is on the play and there should be no rest for now. I took my shower and got dressed. He gave me till the noon of today, but I already did most of what was needed to do. All that was left now was the last part of my plan. If only he knew he wasn’t dealing with the old Sebastian, and that the one he thought he could mess with is ruthless and someone he should have never gone against. I got to my office and surprisingly, Donna wasn’t the first face I’d see to welcome me. It was Vivian, and she kind of looks worried. Her worries were none of my concern so I didn’t bother to ask her, I only nodded in response to her greeting and vanished into my office. Somehow a part of me was drawn to her, to the worry o
