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 32Ryan’s point of view “Yeah beat his ass! Mess the bitch up!” I heard Donna chanting. Adrenaline pumped higher into my system as I increased the force of my punch, he was now unconscious, bloody and I still had no intention of stopping. He was going to regret what he did or the games he think he can play. “That’s enough!” A familiar voice phrased with concern, forward by a touch on my shoulder that sent chills through my blazing body. I halted the punch I was going to nail on his head, and found myself getting off of him and stepping back. It was only then I realized what I’ve done or the damage I’ve caused. I looked around to see camera flashes in the air, and it wouldn’t take a genius to figure out that they’ve recorded all that recently went down. There’s no fixing for my social image and reputation now, it’s finally ruined and shattered completely. I like to think it was worth it, but I hope I’m not wrong. I hope Seb will listen to me, forgive me, and we can finall
Chapter 29 Sebastian’s point of view My parents were divorced before I was born. My father didn’t know about my existence until I was fifteen years old and beside my mother on her death bed. She was diagnosed with a stage four brain tumor that has her death inevitable, it was at that moment she chose to spare the truth and rid the lie I grew up with regarding the story of my father. She never made him the villain in my eyes, albeit that’s who he was. My mom told him he never died, and that they divorced after she caught him cheating on her the fifth time in their six months marriage. She realized he can’t changed, and she can’t spend the rest of her life with him like she intended even though she was pregnant of me at that time. She divorced him, left his home, and never told him about her pregnancy. That was how they separated, and she made sure he could never reach her again, no matter how hard he tries. She gave birth to me, took care of me, and raised me with the lie
Chapter 28Ryan’s point of view The ringing of my phone halted my chase after that creepy Xavier of a bitch. I brought out my phone to answer the call. “Hello?” I spoke into the phone. “Good afternoon. We hope we’re on the line with Mister Growan, we would like to inform him about the unfortunate accident that involved his arriving relatives…” bells rang at the heard of the information as my gaze blurred. Grandfather! My aunt! Uncle! “Huh?” My voice had gone ghost. And it seemed like the moment had taken a hit strong enough to gore my serenity. “They’re currently admitted on an emergency treatment at the city’s….” The informant’s voice trailed off my hearing into a shallow background as I broke into a dash.I was back in full speed as I stepped out of the elevator and headed straight for my car. That bastard Xavier! This is a work of his. It was him who threatened me with them minutes ago, and now they’re hospitalized. He planned their accident. How?! How did he know they
Chapter 27 Sebastian’s point of view What does this person wants from me? He didn’t state, he just dropped on my chest the proof he has to destroy all I’ve built in the snap of his fingers. It’s been three hours since I got his call and texts, he’s been silent ever since. I’ve been on the call, plus text, to trace the anonymous line till I get an identity for myself to work against. I’ve never been destroyed, and it won’t happen now. This is nothing but a sudden hiccup, one I’ll have fixed in no time. But still, there’s this slight panic in me that he could release all those footages of me online right now and there’d be nothing I’d do against me, he’d have me exposed and put my past in public. No one would try to understand me, all they’ll see is a monster, a villain, a man who doesn’t deserve their ears or understanding. I could lose all my investors, the newest ones at least, not the old ones. I could lose them all, my clients inclusive. No one would think that

Chapter 26 Ryan’s point of view Today wasn’t supposed to go like this. No, not at all. The thought was I’d wake up, go to work, get myself married in a private court, and finish the day with a visit to Seb. Now tell me why it’s not even moon yet and the day has already spiraled out from what I had in mind. Few seconds ago my secretary stormed in with worry written all over her face as she stretched her phone out to me in anxiousness. I took it, confused until I checked out the article displayed on her screen. The Headline boldly stated ‘Once Again, The Art Of Enemies To Lovers Has Proven Itself Solid.’ Sub heading also read that, ‘Billionaire CEO Sebastian Torres private desires for Billionaire Heir, Ryan McCall Growan.’ Below was attached a footage of where I had Seb caged to a car and my face was nearly smashing into his. It was an intimate scene to look at, and I don’t need to read through all the written paragraphs to derive the message conveyed in that article. “Fuck!” I
Chapter 25 Sebastian’s point of view Donna and I arrived at the office in the morning, but she had to go away with the excuse of changing her outfit. I was now left in care of my new secretary, Ryan’s sister and it looks like Donna hasn’t shared with her the rules around here. She knocked on my door and brought a coffee for me. Number one, I do not take coffees anywhere or any types so long as it’s not prepared by myself. Number two which is really very important is, unless I’m unreachable and urgently needs to be reached, you’re not allowed to knock on my door or disturb me, instead make use of the landline attached to your desk. I’m sure Donna didn’t tell her all of this because she wanted her to get on my nerves. “You’re not allowed to knock on my door unless you’ve tried to reach me through the landline provided at your desk multiple times and I was unreachable, only then should you come to my office and knock on my door. I hate disturbance,” I began to address her. “If I tak
Chapter 24 Ryan’s point of view When next I found Marcelene so we could get out of the bar, she was exactly like what she wanted to be and do. She was lighted on the stage, drunk as she twirled around to give one of the sexiest shows ever for both the male and female gazes of those present and showered her their attention. I rushed to get her down when she was done and aided her stance as we walked out of the bar, people kept applauding her and whistling at her as she leaned on me and blow out kisses. I finally got her settled in the car as well as worked the belt around her before I went to take my place behind the wheels. “Gosh tonight was so fun, I’ve never had a night like this in my life. We should do this once again,” she beamed where she was sat with joy all over her face and body. I smirked at her and zoomed our car into motion. “You got drunk and you think it’s fun?” I shook my head and laughed at her. “Who told you I’m drunk? I’m so not drunk, I just feel
