The Ceo's Addiction 11
I cocked my brows when he said that. I didn't ask him what he meant nor did he explain either. I was feeling restless, agitated and nervous. I wanted to stand up and walk through that door but the only thing holding me right now was Nuelle's mom, who I had come to take as my mom. "How much?," I asked. "Four hundred thousand a month?" My mouth hung, "Huh?." "I'll pay half and if you complete your work in a month, I'll pay the other half of the money." Okay, let me get this straight. I'm only 24, I was in my second year of becoming a therapist with a bachelor's degree until my parents died and my dream of becoming one today was shattered. I had to work for a woman as a secretary to make ends meet. My salary per year wasn't even up to $15,000. Therapists can make an average of $6,584 a month. At most, they might make $10,770 a month. At the very least they'll make $3,650 if they are just starting out or prefer not to pursue a doctorate degree.Individual therapists may make anywhe

Aiden's povA few minutes later, I spotted my driver and Jeremy beside my classical BMW car.As I pushed my carry on in front of my driver, Jeremy opened the door for me and I climbed in. "To the site," I said. "Yes, sir." A few minutes later, the driver stopped in front of my office building. Jeremy stepped out and opened the door for me. Though I heard many greetings directed at me, I walked past them without answering any of them. That's how it has been, and they've gotten used to it. My father started the construction company and handed it to me. I've been doing great at it. Since he died, mom has handled it better than I do. The fact that I'm not always in the country, she manages it even more than my dad. As I walked my way to my private elevator, I checked through my fingerprint scanner located at the elevator entrance. I got into it, with Jeremy following behind. He pressed the button on the 54th floor where my office is located. "Good morning sir," My secretary greete

Fuck!. Fuck!. Fuck!. "What the hell! Stop being dramatic." Gavin yelled. "Shut up, Man!!. This is the craziest fucking thing I've ever heard from my mom. To top it all, Lisa Mila of all people." I yelled back and ran my hands over my head. "She's a business partner, her dad is rich and she's a model. Wow, you're lucky. You've got it good this time.""Does it ever occur to you that I don't want women?" I asked and glared at him. "Okay!. You don't want women, but you take them home every day," "Yes, I brought them and I fuck them. See me dating any?." I asked him. He relaxed back on the sofa. "No, except your therapist." He replied and I stopped moving, my therapist. I have a therapist, oh my god, Kathleen. "Jeremy," I called. The door to my room opened and he walked in. "Sir.""Where's my therapist?" I asked him. "I saw her leaving the house in the morning." "Where do you think she went to?" I asked. "Not that I can explain. She just likes getting coffee down the street." H

I've been calling Noelle for the past few minutes, and she isn't picking up. When I inserted the key to our apartment, I prayed silently that Noelle would just come home and tell me it was not true. That the psycho boss of mine was lying to get me to stay with him. I walked into the apartment and went straight to my room. I located the switch and put on the light in my room. I jumped on my bed and laid down. Sometime later, I started hearing the rushing tap of a shower tap in the bathroom. My heart instantly jumped into my mouth when I found out that I wasn't alone in my own apartment. Who the fuck is in my bathroom? I jumped out of bed and tiptoed towards the wall beside the bathroom door. My mind clicked, what if he was a killer, robber or a pervert? And would I fight him empty-handed? The water stopped, and I quickly grabbed a single towel from my wardrobe. I stood still and waited till the door opened, and a man walked out of the bathroom with only a towel down. I darted towar

Kathleen' s pov.I woke up. I closed my eyes the next instant when my vision was filled with white. I opened them again and looked around. I was in my room in Aiden's mansion. Last night's memories came flooding up in my head. I straightened up and got out of bed. I noticed I was still putting on the clothes I wore last night. I must have slept off with it on my body. Gosh, I'm so thirsty and hungry. I opened the door to my room and walked out. On my way downstairs, I started hearing some voices in the living room. I came to know that one of them belonged to Noelle. "You're not supposed to be here." I heard my boss say. "What do you mean?I have every right to see her. She's my best friend." Noelle yelled at him. "Jesus, Jeremy. Is this girl really yelling at me right now?." I swallowed a laugh. He wasn't used to yelling or whatever. But none of them have the right to talk to me after what they did. Noelle got me into this mess in the first place. "You have no right to see me, ju

I strode to the first door on the left and stopped. There was another door after this one. I was curious. How many rooms does he have over here? The house was obviously big, but my room was never in this row. I walked to the door and stood in front of it. It had a 'KEEP OFF' inscribed on a metal surface and I wondered what was inside the room that required a keep-off sign. I turned the doorknob and sighed after seeing it was locked from inside. I turned back and walked toward the first door.I pushed the door open and went in. This wasn't a room, this was a library. It was large with magnificent shelves on both sides filled with books. And a table stood by the window, but Aiden was nowhere to be found. Silly me, I left Aiden in his room. I heard a door opening and closing and my eyes started to wander around. "Look to your right and open the door you see." His cold voice instructed me. I found this door on the right and pushed it open to reveal an office and here he is on a chair.

''l'm sorry for how I reacted to your story earlier. I mean, I know it's really wrong, and I hope we get back on track soon." There was silence, he looked up, carefully running his eyes over my body. He then turned back to his phone. "Okay." He finally said. I was confused. "Okay, what?." "We'll talk." He responded. I sighed out, relieved that he wasn't stressing me at all. But firstly, let's go find something to eat. "Can you come down for dinner?" I asked. "I'm not hungry," he stated flatly. I blinked, disappointed in myself that I cared to ask, "I take it that you're not cool with me. Please don't act like you are," I told him in a blatant manner. "Just cut the chit-chat and get out of my room." He ordered coldly. Silence descended between us. I wasn't going to let this go. If this is the way he treats his other employees, then he's a fool to think I would back down. I fold my hands under my breasts in anger, "How do you think I'm gonna cope with you when you act lik

"Damn it!. You're such an idiot!." I scolded myself for being so easy. "You!." I started, but a knock at the door kept me shut. "Come in." Aiden shouted with a victorious smirk over his lips. The door opened and Jeremy walked in. He had on his usual suit, and he looked nice in the morning. Then he was surprised to see his boss in my room, shirtless. "Uh..boss. A lady is waiting in the living room." Aiden removed his eyes from mine and turned them towards his manager. "A lady?. I don't have any appointments with a lady." He stated, thinking. I moved away and started picking up the pillows on the floor. "She's Lila Mila." He replied and I stopped and turned. Aiden averted eye contact with me as he searched the cushion for his phone. He grabbed his polo and put it over his head. "I'll freshen up now." He looked at me and then walked out. In less than 20 minutes, I changed into fresh clothes after brushing my teeth and walked down to see the bitch Lila Mila. It's been years since w

"Stay away from her and read your books."Nicole turned from the words she was memorizing to her mother."Mom, are you okay?.""I should ask you that. Why did Lilly's mother call me now?. Answer me,"Aiden walks in immediately."What is going on, Honey?." He asked looking from his wife to his daughter."Isn't she too young to fall in love?, love isn't what she should be thinking of right now. And well, that girl's mother is Lily Mila. The one we know of." Kat shouted and walked out of the room.Nicole looked at her dad."Dad, what is going on?. Why's my mom so angry with me?."Aiden replied, "Stay put and I'll talk to your mother."He walks away.Reaching the room, Kat was walking to and fro the room agitatedly. The way Lily talked to her over the phone would make anyone worried.Lily had called her and complained that Nicole made her daughter cry, not only that, that Nicole had taken after her in snatching men.Nicole was too young to be accused of such."Calm down, Kathleen.

Kathleen and Aiden made it downstairs together. Kat listened to Aiden after he told her to smile and act like everything's fine so that this would not make her visitor uncomfortable."So which family did you come from?." Aiden asked."The Miles family sir." The young girl replied.Kat asked, "You said your name's Lilly?. Like Lilly Miles?."The girl nodded and she looked at Aiden.Aiden whispered, "Don't tell me you're thinking of..?."Kat bent down and exclaimed, "Oh my god!."Nicole was just watching her parents reactions. As a smart kid, she already knew that her mom was not happy with her guest, then why?. What happened in high school that caused such insecurity?.That has been the question running through her mind."Mom, will I sleep at her place now?." Nicole tactically asked. To ask in front of her friend might make her give in to her. Nicole knew exactly where to get her mother."Fine. But I want you back the next morning. And also stay out of trouble." She ordered.Lilly and

"Nicole.." Lilly screamed, running towards her, she closes her locker and turned around."Xup, Lilly." She grumpily said.Lilly stopped smiling and asked her, "Why do you look sad?.""My mom disagreed, she'd asked me to bring you so she can see you."Lilly's face fell.Too bad."Well, my mom agreed. She'd asked to see the only friend who helped me with my school work." She replied,Lilly repeated classes after she fell numerous times, she was one year older than Nicole and they've become friends after she begged Nicole to help her with school works.Lilly is eleven and Nicole is ten.Nicole was the most popular and brilliant girl in school. She'd won so many trophies for the school."I think you would have to come to my house after school." Nicole said as they both walked away."Well, I've never met your mom. I know you must take after her," Lilly mused. Her friend was perfect, she had the perfect family, mom, dad, grandparents but Lilly never got to meet her dad, she only had her mom

"What do you want me to do now?."Kathleen turned to Nicole, she had been begging her to allow her sleep in a friend's place."Nic, I do not want to talk about this anymore." Kathleen huffed and said, then started walking up the stairs.She walked into Fiona's room and sat down beside her.Nicole came running in, but halted when she saw Kat sitting beside Fiona.The both older women were now looking at her, Kat said, "Nicole, are you here to ask your grandma to beg me?."Nicole almost broke into tears."Mom.."Fiona looked from kat to Nicole."What is going on?."Kat answered, looking at Nicole, "Your precious granddaughter is begging me to let her sleep over a friend's place. When I was at her age, I'd never think of that," She finished and Nicole looked down."Who's this friend?, because I know you don't have friends," Aiden asked, making everyone look at him. No one even noticed he was standing at the threshold. Kat could not take her eyes off him, he looked really handsome in a ca

Noelle ran outside, cutting Aiden off on what he was about to say to Dylan."Did you know she remembered?."Aiden and Dylan were confused."She remembered what?." He'd asked.Noelle breathed out. The way she ran had made her out of breath. She was trying to calm down too."Kat got back her memory."Aiden's eyes widened as he took up the run inside.Dylan and Noelle looked at each other for another moment without speaking to each other.He came closer to her and picked up her hand."I'm sorry that I walked out on you earlier." He said, lowly.Noelle smiled and hugged him quickly."I see that you are happy over the news."She disengaged from the hug."All my life, my life has evolved around Kathleen. I shared in her pains and in her happy days. I never really cared if I lived for her but I am glad. Do you know why?. She is fine. She's okay. And her sorrow days are over now.""You're a good friend. You've stood by her and you've fulfilled what a sister would do."He tucked her hair behin

"Helena?." Kat called."Kathleen," Helena called back."Wow. You two know each other, but I thought you lost your memory forever," Clara said and earned a glare from Kat and Helena."You. How dare you?. How dare you destroy my life?." Kat fumed and started getting up. Her eyes had turned stone cold and her hands were clenched."Not only did you destroy Natalie's life, you went ahead to destroy hers?. Why do you keep hurting the people I care for?." Helena stated firmly. Her guns were firmly pointed at Clara."If you come close to me, I will kill you both." Clara stated with fear.Just then, the police came running around them with their guns. All pointing their guns at Clara."Get down now!." One of the policemen yelled at Clara.It didn't take long before Clara realized that she lost. She had lost her battle. Her eyes were fixated at Aiden who had come running to Kathleen. A tear dropped as she saw both hugged and Aiden kissed her passionately.Her face went red.She screamed."Noooo

She snatched the binocular away and rushed outside.She viewed from the front porch.She didn't know this person.Who's this person?.She squinted her eyes and took a look again.That face?.What?.…...End of recapKathleen stood at the middle of the field, looking towards the direction of Clara in which she had taken in. She breathed out, watching her come closer. She'd thought that Clara was one tough girl who fought a million times after seeing lots of huge fighting men beside her, but she thought wrong, Clara was an opposite.A girl who had a silk skin, beautiful eyes and innocent looks. She'd imagined if she at all had left a prison. Clara was beautiful and classic and…"Wow..you look different." Clara cut off her thoughts with a strong voice.Okay, Kathleen underestimated her looks. She's really rude.Kathleen didn't wanna go round the bush but said in a very straight tone."Where's my daughter?."Clara smirked."Ooh. You've got some balls now. I didn't expect to see you.""You

She reached her room and sat down, her eyes looking into the phone every minute, waiting for any call.Suddenly, Aiden walked in. She breathed out and didn't look at him.Aiden walks further and stands in front of her, but doesn't touch her.Aiden mumbled, "Okay, I'm sorry." He apologized.Kat looked up, in her eyes, he was tired. He wanted everything to end, it was like everything was not gonna ever end in his family. His family was never gonna be together and his enemies made sure of that."You don't have to apologize.." She said but paused midway and looked up at him. Her eyes glinted, although she knew nothing about this woman, she was bent on getting her hands on her. She'd wished she found a way to catch her.Aiden bent down quickly, "I promise to get her out of the way, nothing will happen to you or our daughter." He sincerely stated.Kat shrugged."Do everything you can, Aiden."Aiden smiled and got up. He needed to shower and get ready for what is to come. He pulled off his w

"Kathleen, Kathleen…"Nicole called but Kat didn't look up. She was speaking to one of the maids in the kitchen, and Nicole was surprised.She walked into the kitchen and touched her and Kat turned instantly."I've been calling you, you seem not to answer."Kat was confused, "Call me?.""I've been screaming your name for like ages," Nicole repeated.It then dawned on Kat that she was called Kathleen, not Lisa."Oh my god!. I'm so sorry. I've not been acquainted with the name yet. You know I lived with this name for five years."Noelle nodded understandably."Aiden asked me to remind you of the doctor's appointment. He just left for his office now,""How could he just leave like that?, he was supposed to take me there," She said, frowning."It was urgent, anyway I could take you there and maybe we could catch up like old times, I will tell you about yourself to help you remember,"Kat smiled at Noelle, she appreciated her, "Thank you, Noelle. I'm very happy that you could help. I still
