Chapter 17 I Invitation
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The gold-colored invitation that Evelyn had left as a souvenir was lying on the table and Via didn’t touch it at all. Her eyes stared blankly at every engraving of Sean's name until her heart ached to see Evelyn Madini's name side by side with his in the same frame.
A tear fell on Via's lap. With her face down, she sobbed.
“Mom...” Via cried, suddenly missing her mom. She needed something to strengthen herself, and only her mother and the unborn baby were on her mind.
Aborting the baby was tantamount to killing Via, but holding on would be just as difficult. Sean and Evelyn came from rich families, the law was on their side. After all, Via was just an ordinary citizen, just one tweet on Ingram could turn her into trash in society. People would think she was the bad one of Sean and Evelyn's relationship. It was easy for Evelyn to destroy Via's reputation and life with just the lift of her finger.

Willow jumped from the sofa when she saw Via's pale face.“Via! God, is it so cold outside? You look unwell,” said Willow, who immediately greeted Via at the door.Via's body was limp until Willow supported her to keep her standing by shouldering her to the room and laying her down.“Do you want me to make you tea?” asked Willow worriedly.Via just mumbled without saying anything.“Wait a minute,” Willow said, heading for the kitchen. She called Asher as soon as she reached the pantry.“What’s up?” asked Asher from the other side.“I think Via is sick, can Doctor Ares come to visit here?”There was the sound of a lock and a door opening from across the line as soon as Asher heard the panic in his cousin's voice.“I'll be there, just wait,” Asher said in a hurry. “I'll bring Ares, I think the shift is over at the clinic.&

“Asher told you to just take a rest at home. You don't have to go to Cherry Blossom for a few days,” said Willow who served food next to Via's bed.“I feel better now, Willow. Doing nothing will bore me,” said Via. She was about to leave, but Willow held her back.“No… no… no! You just take a rest. Besides, you can do many things at home. Knitting, for example,” advised Willow.Via sighed, and glanced at the clock on the nightstand. It was still too early. Even the sun had just risen.Seeing Willow's steadfastness that continued to hold her, she finally relented.“I will accompany you until noon, because I have something to take care of today,” said Willow, looking reluctant to leave Via alone.She smiled and patted Willow's shoulder lightly. “You may go. I'm an adult, you know. Don’t worry about me.”The two of them ended the conversation and went back to

Via looked at the business card in her hand after Willow left to the village. Hesitantly, she dialed Daren Osbert's number that written on the card. After struggling with her decision, Via decided to press the call button.“Hello,” said the man from the other side.For a moment, Via was silent while biting her lip.On the other end of the line, Daren realized that Via was the one calling but he waited for her to speak first.Via cleared her throat and greeted Daren, who had been silent for a long time.“It's me,” said Via, opening the conversation. “You can come here.”“Okay,” Daren replied and cut the call.Half an hour of waiting, Via saw a car entering the ranch yard. She waited anxiously for Daren to get out of the car and walk towards the terrace.“Come in,” said Via invitingly.The two of them sat down opposite each other in the same position as yesterday.

Sean looked at himself in the mirror. He wore a slim fit black suit that looked perfectly wrapped around his body. His gaze fell on a face that seemed foreign to him.“You look gorgeous, man,” said Daren who entered Sean’s room.Sean and Evelyn’s engagement party was held at one of the Reviano family properties, not far from New York.Sean turned to look at his friend.“Can you make me disappeared? Or knock me down, make me faint or something?” asked Sean with a straight face.Daren laughed, thinking Sean was joking, but his mouth closed when he realized there was no change in the Sean’s expression which was staring blankly ahead.“You Kidding me?” Daren muttered. He came into the room and looked at Sean worriedly. “Marrying Evelyn isn’t that bad, buddy.”Seeing Sean’s unsmiling face, Daren’s heart pinched. He didn’t think

Time flew so fast as Via had been in Moines for more than a month. She was currently three months pregnant. Both Asher and Willow asked her to go to the doctor for a pregnancy check once she entered the second trimester.That afternoon, the mustang that Via was driving stopped in front of the Moines supermarket parking lot. There were two supermarkets in the village, but this was the only place that had the most stock so Willow took Via there.“Have you contacted the doctor that Ares recommended?” Willow asked as soon as they got out of the car.Via shook her head.“How about next week? I’ll make an appointment with them,” Willow suggested.“Okay, I’ll leave it to you,” Via agreed, she didn’t even look that enthusiastic, making Willow feel sad.The two women got out of the car and entered the supermarket and chose the groceries that were already on the list.“Gosh, the price
The CEO's Secret Woman Chapter 23 I Paparazzi
A paparazzi was at the motel that Evelyn used to stay in. The paparazzi showed some pictures to her colleague through a conversation on the phone.“Look, I didn’t lie when I saw something odd with their engagement,” explained Hilda, a paparazzi who was dedicated to covering all of Evelyn Madini’s activities.“It was just a casual meeting, the two women might just be old friends,” said a man from across the line.Hilda snorted in annoyance and asked her partner to go back to see the photos she sent.“Take a good look, it’s obvious the two of them are talking about a contractual silence agreement, and it’s odd that Evelyn gave this woman million-dollar check.”Hilda looked back at the photos she got some time ago. Luckily Cherry Blossom had a transparent wall made of glass so she could freely take pictures and zoom in until she managed to capture pictures that was clearly visible.A m

Aunt Azura needed intensive care for a week, preventing Via from returning to Moines as soon as possible.“I’m sorry, Auntie hasn’t been able to go home and there’s no one to take care of her. Looks like I can no longer work at Cherry Blossom,” Via said apologetically.“Don’t say that. You do nothing wrong, Via. Come back to Cherry Blossom whenever you want, there will always be a place for you here,” explained Asher who was listening to Via from across the line.Seeing Aunt Azura with a life support machine, Via breath heavily. “Thank you,” she whispered.After the call disconnected, Via sat quietly in the chair while watching Aunt Azura’s chest heave up and down, indicating that there was life in the old woman’s body.Guilt creeped into Via’s heart, feeling disloyal to the woman who raised her since she was little.“I’m sorry, Auntie,” Via mutte

Sean stared out the window that framed his office room. His posture looked stiff with dark eyes like a storm of emotions covering his handsome face. One hand held the cell phone while his free hand was hidden in a pocket. There was a look of impatience chasing around his aura.The cell phone in Sean’s hand rang. He waited until the third ring before answering and greeting the man on the other line.“Oh, Mr. Reviano!” said the voice that came from the cell phone in hand. “Why are you calling? So unusual,” the voice quipped.Sean gnashed his teeth. This was the reason why he didn’t want to deal with the impunity of humans. These people always felt superior to those who obeyed the rules and paid taxes regularly.“I want your help,” said Sean with a tone of suppressed anger that had been fostered since the conversation with Altha.There was long silenced across the line.

Via had only been in the room for an hour and was lying on the bed when suddenly she heard the sound of the bell ringing loudly, making her sigh and rush to open the door only to find Sean standing in front of it with Carolus in his arms.“Mommy!” called the cute-faced toddler with her big blue round eyes.Seeing that, Via’s heart sank because for a moment, she almost forgot the whereabouts of her son who was left with the nanny at home. Via’s eyes immediately turned to the man who was holding their son with an innocent look.“He said ... he missed his mother,” said Sean as he swung his body slightly from side to side which made Carolus’ head fall on his father’s chest, and his eyes seemed heavy to close.Via’s eyelids twitched until her long eyelashes fanned her face with such graceful movements when she suddenly found the presence of the father and son duo.Sean cleared his throat becaus

The bone-chilling cold air made Via tighten the scarf around her neck. She fastened her steps as she crossed the slightly windy streets of New York.Maybe, it would rain tonight, so Via speed up her pace. And she was just about to arrive in front of the Luna Star building, when suddenly a car slowed down on the side of the road which forced her to stop. She unconsciously rolled her eyes when she saw who was behind the wheel.“Get in the car, or I’ll smack your pretty ass as soon as we get home,” said the man who leaned toward the window and stared at Via who looked disapproval.Instead of following Sean’s words whom he would definitely carry out his promise, Via instead continued her walked and made Sean couldn’t help but park the car on the side of the road.Sean didn’t care if he got a police ticket, because for him, bringing the stubborn woman back home was far more important. And in a very hasty, he immediately got

Via had already filled the bathtub with warm water and put the bomb bath in it when suddenly she heard the sound of the bathroom door closing. Via turned back for a moment and with a rounded mouth in O letter, her gaze also asked Sean who went inside.“What are you doing here?” Via asked while glancing at the door.“Shower, of course,” replied Sean who started to undress.How could you shower when Caro is alone there? Via pulled a towel from the shelf and put it on and then walked past her husband, but Sean’s arms wrapped around her waist, instantly stopped Via in place.“I gave him a toy. So don’t worry, Baby,” Sean said lightly, as if they were talking about a kitten outside alone instead of a ten month old baby.“Gosh! What if he cries, Sean? Nobody takes care of him right now,” protested Via while trying to break free.Too bad, Baby Caro’s nanny was asking permission

“Secret… from everyone?” Via asked in a whisper, right in front of Sean’s lips who had just kissed her.The light reflected from the buildings around made their lips glistening with wetness.“Yes,” he muttered which was followed by a growl when he ran the tip of his nose right behind her neck, causing her body to tremble.Via’s eyes closed again when Sean left traces of kiss after kiss which was carried out slowly around her sensitive neck skin.“Sean,” called Via who did not understand what her body wanted.“Yes, Baby,” Sean replied as he pulled Via’s waist so that their lower bodies were pressed close together.Via jumped in surprise when she felt something pressing around her femininity, making Sean laugh softly and deliberately kissed her lips to dispel her protests.At first Sean only teased her lower lip with small bites, then after that he slid his tongue

Sean glanced at his wrist watch. After waiting for fifteen minutes, he got out of the car and rushed up the stairs to her apartment. He deliberately slowed down his steps so Via had more time to prepare.Sean had just entered the corridor that would lead him to her room, when suddenly his steps stopped and found a woman peeking from the apartment next to Via’s room.“Are you Viania’s lover?” whispered the woman who showed half her face, and only showed her right eye, while the other body part was blocked by the door.Sean put his index finger to his lips, and it made the woman cover her mouth with one hand while nodding, then slowly closed the apartment door again.After making sure there were no interruptions from the neighbors, Sean knocked on Via’s fragile door.From his standing position, Sean could tell that she usually peeked through the cracks in the frame, which made Sean even more displeased. However, he chose

Via’s heart was still pounding, and she returned to her room with feeling still shrouded in fear. Even a question popped into her head; what if Devan went inside?Not wanting someone to suddenly enter her office, Via locked the door, hoping that her boss, Hadley, wouldn’t ask.Once back in her chair, Via tried to focus on completing the documents on the computer, but she was still restless and uneasy so she looked for the AC remote to lower the room temperature.A pinging sound signaling an incoming message to her phone awakened Via instantly. She thought it might be Sean.Sean: [Are you okay?]Via was frozen for some minutes when she read the chat. She typed a few words, then erased them again, unsure of what to say. Her finger stopped when she wanted to say ‘not okay’ and instantly she put her head on the table with her phone beside her without replying to the chat.“What should I answer?”

Sean’s gaze focused on the CCTV which showing Via’s activities in her private workspace. Not a single eye blinked, while one of his hands on the table moved with a rhythm like the sound of a horse’s tread.When Via got up from her chair and left the room, Sean immediately replaced the screen with CCTV in every corridor she passed.Via greeted several employees and stopped briefly to talk. Seeing her routine by heart, Sean turned his attention to the work at the desk and sipped his black coffee while occasionally glancing at the CCTV screen.Now Via moved towards the pantry, and Sean’s eyes followed, but the cup in his hand stopped in front of his lips when he saw someone entering the pantry right behind her.***Via felt thirsty suddenly and she forgot to bring a water bottle into the room.After greeting her seniors, Via also chose not to linger to talk, because she was still very awkward. Luckily there was no

Upon returning from the Luna Star Hotel, Via packed her things into the bag she brought some time ago. Her business here was done, and there was no reason for her to remain in Sean’s apartment. She would think after arriving at her apartment later on how to warm herself before the heating worked again.Feeling that everything was in order in the bag, Via left the room.Actually, Via wanted to tell Sean via text message, but she didn’t want to disturb him. What’s more, she didn’t want to be comfortable in her boss’s apartment. For some reason it felt wrong, as if she was taking advantage of the situation.When she reached the lobby, suddenly Via’s phone rang and saw Sean’s name on the screen, but she turned it off because she didn’t want Sean to ask what Via was doing.With hurried steps, Via walked through the crowd.Arriving at the apartment, again the woman next to the room greeted her.&ldqu
