The CEO’s Private Desires
SUBTITLE: The Billionaire’s Forever Nemesis ©️Copyright by Black Moon. Written and Owned by Author Black Moon. Chapter 1 Sebastian’s point of view I had on a stoic face, a blank reaction to the lady that rocked and twerked her life out on my legs. My eyes were pinned on a figure far away from me, rather than fixed on the girl I’d came into the club with. At the far end of the room receiving my heavy and intense gaze, in the middle of two girls dancing, was Ryan McCall. A whiskey glass to his left hand, while his right hand guarded a lady’s thigh to sync well with his moves. What’s with him and always stalking me? I came to this club to unwind and have some fun, there I met him already doing that. He never goes clubbing, I knew that because I knew him. He’s the bastard who wouldn’t allow me become the city’s top wealthiest billionaire. He’s my forbidden challenge, my eternal nemesis, and the toughest bane to my goddamn existence. The mere sight of him sets my blood on fire, my lungs on rage. We didn’t become enemies out of the blue, in fact we used to be more than acquaintances, we were best friends in the past, best of friends. We grew up together, went to the same high school, and graduated from the same college. We were often referred to as twin brothers, some would even go further and call us lovers. That was how close we were. Everything however, for no reason became dust when Ryan disappeared for six years barely some months after we left college. I searched everywhere for him, looked everywhere for him then, did all I could to contact him and be assured of his safety, but I got nothing. I got nothing, no response, no assurance, nothing at all came from him to me. The only closure I had was from his father, who told me then Ryan was gone because he wanted nothing to do with me no longer. It took me two good years to forget about him and move the fuck on with my life. I went on with my dreams, my goals and launched my company, I had a rough start out but I became bigger than I expected, I found my way to the very top, four years after I debuted into the CEO’s career. Then all of a sudden, out of the calm seething blue came Ryan McCall, announced as the heir to the Growan’s empire. An empire a tip below my feet of status. In the lightest of time, Ryan levitated his empire above mine and took the first spot from me. He also worked overtime to launch a limimal space between us so I wouldn’t come back for his throne quicker easily. How he did it was never clear to me, but it only took him a year and a half to become my enemy. That was the last knack for me to despise every single thing on earth that answers Ryan McCall. He first off left me out to the wild for five good years, then return to reward our past by becoming my misery. He took the one thing he knew I’ve always dreamt of having. I recall the days I’ve yabbed to him on how I wanted to become the most successful man in our city if not the world, how I aspired to be at the very top. Yet he became an obstacle, and locked the path to my dream. It’s bitter of me, but I could care less. Especially when I found out Ryan has been stealing my investors. Nevertheless, I stayed quiet and never gave up, I became more determined than ever. I branched out of my main game, and utilized ny other talents to chase back for the top spot. I’m a software developer, days alone in my room could bred an expensive unit for the future. All these while this went on between the both of us for a year and the half, Ryan made no mistake to reach out to me and explain to me why he was gone for all these years. And that only made me hate him the more, that truly he never regarded me the way I regarded him. Instead he initiated the petty game to keep me on to himself, and feigned ignorance. He’d go after the people I intend to work with, and get them for himself. I’m pretty sure I won’t have a great night if Ryan doesn’t disappear out of my sight so I pushed the lady on me off as I urged to my feet. “Excuse me,” my dry tone mouthed apologetically as I sauntered away from her. I’m familiar with the club’s owner, he’s a friend and a partner. I in no time arrived and knocked on the door to his office. “Come-“ he didn’t finish his sentence before I pushed the door open for my presence to lure in. “Sebastian Torres, to what do I owe-“ “I need to own your club tonight. Ten million dollars.” I went straight to the point, my face bored as I anticipated his response. “Tonight, as in what do you mean-“ “I’m going to buy the ownership for this club for twenty four hours, after which the club will go back to being yours,” I cut him off to expatiate on what I mean better. “Oh!” He hummed. “For Ten Million Dollars,” I reiterated to pitch my seriousness. “Fine, let me get you the paperworks,” “That’ll be unnecessary,” I responded before I turned around and exited the office. I went back to the club, up at the ViP section where I and Ryan were. He was right where I left him. I went straight to him the moment I arrived back at the lounge, my cold eyes narrowed at the two ladies melting all around him, they halted in an instant, as they pulled away from him. “Mister Sebastian. Wow, it’s so lovely to-“ “Get out of my club,” I ignored the lady that tried to start a conversation with me to gave Ryan my order instead. Ryan looked around in confusion to who I might be talking to if not him, though my steel gaze was pinned on him as well as ny intimidating aura, yet he still thought my words were directed to someone else. This was our first time in near seven years that an interaction would ensue between the both of them. How rich. “Last I checked, this club belongs to Asher Kings, a friend of mine actually soooo….. Is it me you’re talking to?” His brows creased with his squinted gaze. “Not tonight it doesn’t, this club is mine and owned for the next twenty four hours. Bought it for couple millions of dollars. Now I’d like to have you thrown out in the filthiest way possible, but given the need to be courteous, I’m rudely requesting you to get the fuck out of my club.” All while I spoke, fury burnt high inside of me. However, my facade appeared calm, my rage kept to my insides. No reflection of it on my face, neither a muscle strained on my cheek, nor veins stretched over my forehead. My facials remained calm and composed, other than the stoic expression I had on. “Alright, alright. Though this is not how I expect us to meet and talk Mister Sebastian Torres.” He chuckled as he staggered backwards. His movement slurry. He is drunk for sure. “Out,” I repeated coldly. Ryan laughed as he grabbed his jacket and took a gulp out of the whiskey bottle he held. “Let’s go ladies, the fun is not yet over. Don’t let this bitter bored fellow stop us from having fun.” He waved at the ladies who swerved to his side at once. “But I promise you Mister, I’m gonna get you back.” I huffed at his threat, even though it doesn’t sound like one.Chapter 2 Sebastian’s point of view I got an invitation to the governor’s birthday party which is scheduled for tonight, there I anticipated a relation with a mogul in business, Xavier Rodriguez, who would also be present on a possible partnership between us. If I could secure a partnership with Xavier, and get the Aces to become an investor in my company like I wanted, then there’s no doubt to the miles I’d get above Ryan McCall finally. The Governor’s birthday party was set to begin at around 9pm, and it’s 10pm already. I knew this event wouldn’t miss the presence of Ryan McCall, and the stank thought of it made me wanna pass up the invite. Hence, why I chose to arrive late. However, tonight might be the night I’ve earnestly worked towards for the past couple of months, over a year and the half since Ryan came back. This could be the night of my triumphant victory. All I needed to do is convince a possible partnership with Xavier, a really rich tyrant in business, then secure
Chapter 3 Sebastian’s point of view I was having the literal worst night. Ryan has refused to back off and leave me to my peace. He was bent on explaining himself when he was many years late already. And I on the other hand was not having it, I swerved off any chance Ryan mounted to hold a conversation between us. This should have happened years now, not after he declared himself as my enemy, or now that I only sees him as my rival and nothing else. All thanks to Ryan, I could neither land The Aces in a contract or strike a partnership with Xavier. This must have been his plan all along, his revenge for what I did to him at the club. Screw with my head and mess up my night. He probably was behind Xavier’s early esteem for alcohol, and then leech at me all night so I’d have no chance to hold a conversation with the Aces, because I was too busy avoiding him and maintaining a constant distance. The party has finally come to end around midnight, and guests were now greeting
Chapter 4 Sebastian’s point of viewThe sudden taste of Ryan’s lips on mine fucked with my senses for a second before I regained control and pushed him off and away from me.My palm swiped over my mouth in tainted irritation as I frowned my face, “What the fuck? What was that for? Eww!” I couldn’t help my brimming disgust. Ryan smirked at me, a smug expression on his face while he remain muted. “You’re sick in the head.” I heaved a harsh groan as I walked out of the hall. Still repulsed by what he did. What was that for? Why would he kiss me in the front of a nosy crowd? There was a motive behind that kiss, I knew but was stuck trying to figure out what the motive was. My head pulsed with multiple questions as I got into my parked Deux Vayanne, brand new and worth millions of dollars. I adjusted myself into the seatbelt before I wheeled my baby into motion and zoomed out of the vicinity. He sped through the litted city of New York, my mind loaded and etched with the night I just
Chapter 5 Sebastian’s point of view Donna and I talked throughout my ride home. She’s my friend, worked with me for four years before I trusted her enough to become my friend. She doesn’t really know what happened between me and Ryan, but she knew more than the media. I decided to spend the night at my penthouse since it was near. I got there and went straight to the shower. My mind stilled and calm off the rustle it has been since I left the party when the cold shower slapped on my skin. This was not the future I planned for myself and Ryan or saw for us, we were suppose to be best friends forever. Why did he have to betray me? Why did he have to make us become enemies? We’re suppose to be at the top together. Because now, the only thing on my mind that I deeply craved for was now Ryan’s downfall. The end to his reign. The doom to his legacy. And I’ll be damned if I do not get that. Ryan has stolen a lot from me, and done a lot to me in return for the platonic love I gave hi
Chapter 6 Ryan’s point of view “What’s this?” Mother nearly shoved her phone into my face as I walked through the door. “Ryan what’s this?” The screen flashed harsher into my eyes. I squinted at the headline displayed in my view, it spoke about my scandalous pull from The Governor’s birthday party. Titled “The Damned Kiss”. Wait when was this? An hour or two ago and it has been published wide enough for my mom to get it. The world can be really jobless at times. “It is what it is.” I shrugged and responded, pushing through where she has me cornered as I strolled further into the mansion. Vivian, my sister was right by the stairs, a mischievous smirk on her face as I approached her. Of course. This must be her dirty work. I mean I should have predicted even, since when does mom surf the internet enough for her to know the hottest talk of the city. I got to her presence, casted a long look of shame, then shook my head and walk off. “Did he just walk out on me?
Chapter 7Sebastian’s point of view Getting through the night was as hectic as I presumed it would be when I let myself sheltered a drunk guest. Sure he was drunk before he came over, but my treat added to the mood. I’d offer him the luxury of my fridge, where he sampled into his guts my alcoholic beverages and wine. I had to tuck Xavier into one of my guest rooms later after he’s made a mess of my living room with his puke. As disgusted as it made me, I tried not to react offensively at the kiss. He was drunk and wasn’t in control of himself, besides it was just a kiss. Bleh! Though if he had kept making attempts, I sure would’ve honored the thought of throwing him out in the middle of the night. Dawn came sooner than expected, and I found myself operating on a brief hours of sleep.When I checked up on Xavier, he was still deep in his slumber while I was already dressed up to start the day. It’s 7am already, when does he wake up? I left the house with a message from me through
Chapter 8Ryan’s point of view “How did it go?” Donna, Seb’s secretary who helped sectioned the meetup between Seb and I asked as she saw me stormed out of his office with his men hovering right behind me. I gave her a knowing look as I glanced at the guards Seb had instructed to escort me outside. She sighed when she got the memo, “He can be a real pain in the ass with his stubbornness sometimes, let me just help you deal with him. I might be able to get him to his senses,”I didn’t respond to her, I just went into the elevator and when the guards tried to follow me in I gave them a cold glare that slit a pause to their motion. I can’t believe he would chase me out. Seriously how stubborn did he have to be? For me to sneak into your office just so I can talk and explain things to you, shouldn’t that tell him how genuine I was? Instead he chose to believe I was there to manipulate him. I scoffed out aloud, manipulate him for what? Why would I come to lie to him now? What could
Chapter 9Sebastian’s point of view “Unless you’re ready to tell me exactly how Ryan was able to sneak into my office and ruin my day, then quit bugging me!” I snapped at the intercom that connects me to my secretary, closing Donna’s another attempt to talk to me. She already tried barging in, and was sent outside with the threat that I might stop joking around with the thought of sacking her and act on it if she doesn’t leave me alone. Barely a second later, my door pushed open without my permission. Annoyance flayed over my face as I trailed gaze up at the entrance to see it was Donna, “You better be ready to talk,” I chided. She stepped aside for someone she was with to come inside, the person being Xavier. Oh, so he’s here. Must be why Donna kept bugging me with beeps. “Mister Xavier, I-““Thought we were past the formalities now? Or did I not woke up in your house?” He cut into my sentence. I glanced at Donna who raised her brows at the heard of Xavier’s words. “It’s not
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
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
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.
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
Chapter 58 Ryan’s point of view I don’t know if my mom was running away from the house, but she hasn’t been around ever since I got married. Today is the day Marcy and I leave for her home city, and mom still hasn’t show up for me to inform her as well as talk about Seb with her. I spent the whole of yesterday with Seb, so I had time to tell him about the trip and how much I wish he could accompany me. He told me even if Marcy had allow me bring him, he wouldn’t have accepted my invitation because he doesn’t have any business with my contracted wife’s family. I don’t know if mom is scared to confront me or exactly why she has refused to show her face, but it’s starting to get less suspicious and more frightening. Is she okay? I’d ask Vivian about it, but I’m sure she doesn’t care, albeit she’s an exact replica of that woman’s witchy persona. Seb told me he fired her already. And I’m more than happy to hear that, her away from Seb is a long space away from bad things. I cou
Chapter 57 Sebastian’s point of view I might have buried my brother today, but I also flattened stuffs out with Ryan, and met up with my grandmother whose memories of me suddenly came back to her. I could say the gloom which started the day for me has approached a version of an ecstatic ending. It’s four in the evening already, but it’s not yet the time to call the day to an end. While I finished up with my grandmother, I took the liberty to book me and Ryan’s sister a reservation at one of the city’s coolest restaurants not far from the company, then sent her a text to meet up with me there for the date I spoke about with her. Universe so good, we arrived at the location at the same time and literally went in together to the seats booked in our names. “What would you like to have?” I asked seconds after we’re settled into our seats and flicked a glance at the menu script. “Water or wine is surely fine by me at the moment, can’t have dinner here because tradition would deman
Chapter 56 Ryan’s point of view Who could tell that the little nap session I wanted for myself would result into a complex situation. Because what on earth is Marcy doing in an exposed lingerie that perfectly captured the essence of her curves and body. And then proceed to ask me, “Do I look good in this?” I was too stunned to speak, to answer her and try to dredge up her motive for whatever this is. She knows I’m gay right? So why does it look like she’s trying to seduce me. She geared into anger when she noticed I wouldn’t talk to her, or reply her, rather I’m just seated there with my eyes fixed on her and a pale expression on my face. “Do I look that bad? You could have at least tried to be nice.” She hissed at me and rolled her eyes. “Oh God!” She lamented as she walked over to the cushion in my room. “Is it my body? Do I need to slim down? But I’ve been on diet since birth now, seriously can you tell me what the fuck is wrong?” She flared up at me, frustration in her
