The Forgotten CEO 49. The Only Constant
The past few weeks were like a roller coaster ride for Jacyn. From her ex-boyfriend's betrayal to her failed revenge plan, she felt everything's going against her. She felt her world was crushed down and then, when she decided to fight, everyone unites and brings her down to the core. Nothing's going according to her plan.During those times of chaos and turmoil, except for her grandparents, Liam was the only constant in her life. Since he was introduced as her fiance, he was really acting like one. Like he had known her all his life and as if it was not arranged. The first time they met, he made it look like they weren't strangers. He even told her that she had forgotten him. Since that day, he had not told her why he had said that. She was also afraid to know so she never asked him. They avoid the topic like a plague. But she could feel that Liam treats her differently from the others. He was a cold, distant CEO to other people. They were scared and just admired him from afar. But
The Forgotten CEO 50. Confusion
She groggily wakes up to the sound of the alarm. She felt so tired and sleepy yet she had to get up else the young master would scold her for being late again.Jacyn hastily got up and readied herself. She had no time to waste as it was already late. Silence enveloped her as she went out of her room. She silently went to the kitchen and heated whatever leftover food from last night as she waited for Liam. But thirty minutes gone and he was still out of sight. As she was beginning to feel something was amiss, she knocked on his room only to find out that the young master had already left."Why did he leave me? Why did he not wake me up?" Jacyn complained to herself. Sometimes, she couldn't understand him. She couldn't decipher his thoughts. "Ahhh…did I make him angry again?" Suddenly, she felt nervous. What if the young master was angry at her? He may make her life more miserable.She ran and got her things. She could just drive alone at the company. She saw her car keys in her bag but
The Forgotten CEO 1. The Anniversary Surprise
Jacyn closed her eyes as tears flowed from it. Memories from earlier that day flooded her once again. It's their third-year anniversary as a couple. She happily woke up and started the day. She was so elated that she ignored the fact that Marco was not even messaging nor calling her to greet her for their special occasion. Marco Liang was the only son of a well-known business tycoon in City A. He was not just the only heir of Liang Group of Companies, but he was also one of the dream guys of most women in the city. He was rich and good looking and many women like to be his future wife. Jacyn was lucky to have Marco in her life. They have been schoolmates since they were in high school. He was the most handsome guy back then and she was the campus belle. She attracted many suitors and Marco was one of them. She felt that she was very young at that time and she had no time for relationships. As years passed by, only Marco patiently waited for her. He reasoned out that she was worth wa
The Forgotten CEO 2. The Knight
To say that she was heartbroken was an understatement of what she was feeling right now. She felt that her heart was taken out of her body, and someone put chili peppers on it and barbecued it. She felt she was dying of the pain, she was suffocating and was out of breath from all the crying. She was now in a bar situated in the center of the city. This was her first time ever in her whole life to enter such a place. She had never thought that she would come to this place. She believed that wine or any hard liquor cannot solve problems, it would just give you more of it in return. But tonight, she had no choice but to drink all her pain away. She hoped that it would drown all her thoughts in the sea of forgetfulness. 'How dare he! Why did he let me believe that he loves me? Why did I ever believe your lies, Marco? How could you do this!' She thought to herself. She managed to drink three bottles though it was her first time. She was still crying her heart out but she managed to get o
The Forgotten CEO 3. Goodbye, Marco
It was a nice, hot day. The sun was up, shining brightly, 'But my life sucks,' she thought. Thinking of what happened the other day, she decided that she had to do something. She would not let others hurt her again. As she was about to drive her car, an unexpected call from a hateful one came through. "Jacyn, where have you been? I have called you a hundred times already!" Marco angrily shouted at her. She winced as her head ached again from Marco's shouting on the other line. What’s the point of worrying about her when he’s the reason why she’s hurting? "Hey Marco, I'm not deaf. Please don't shout at me," she calmly answered him. What on earth did he want to play with her? He was acting like a concerned boyfriend out of nowhere. Just yesterday, he proposed to another girl. Her heart cried again in pain, but she already promised herself not to show them her weakness. She will not give them a chance to see how she was breaking inside. "Jacyn, honey, I'm just worried about you. I
The Forgotten CEO 4. The Heiress is Back
"I would like to thank everyone for coming to this event. Eleven years ago, my wife and I, as you all know, lost our only son together with his family. But today is a special day for us to introduce to you the one that keeps us strong, the one why we were still fighting up to this day. Let’s all welcome our one and only granddaughter, Jacyn Lou.” The audience looked up at the stairs with expectant eyes. They were all eager to know who was the granddaughter that Grandfather Hou Lou was referring to. After all, no one had heard about her since the incident that happened eleven years ago. Naturally, people were so adamant to know her and introduce themselves in order to gain something. She was the only heir of the Lou group and she will have massive inheritance. The mothers wanted to introduce their sons to her in order to have connections and step up the ladder. In fact, people who attended this party were not here to sympathize or really celebrate with them, they all had their own pe
The Forgotten CEO 5. The Forgotten Fiance
“You’re back.” A deep voice came from behind. She waited for him to continue but he didn’t speak again. She felt him standing beside her. He was standing six feet and two inches towering above her. She was already 5’5” with 3” inch stilettos but she felt small compared to him. He had wide shoulders which was above normal for a guy like him. She couldn’t see his face because of the darkness in the garden. “Hmmm… do I know you?” She answered curiously. She didn’t like that she’s talking to a stranger but something about him interested her. “Yeah, we met a long time ago. I’m William Lee, call me Liam.” He’s still looking away, as if he was in deep thought. “ I hope you stay here, for good.” Finally, he looked at her. She was stunned to see his face. In front of her was the most handsome guy she’s ever laid her eyes on. He had perfect eyebrows and very beautiful and expressive eyes. He had a perfect nose which was proportioned with the rest of his facial features. He also had kissable l
The Forgotten CEO 6. Marco's Plan
‘He’s your fiancé.’ She keeps on hearing his grandfather’s voice, echoing again and again in her mind. She couldn’t believe it. She did hear it wrong, right? How could she have a fiancé when she had just returned?It’s already dawn but she couldn’t sleep. The party was over and she was so tired that she already wanted to rest. But the thought of having a fiancé was bothering her to the point that she was already restless. That man was pretty familiar but she couldn’t remember where she had met him. He had an extraordinary feature that no one will be able to resist, much more to forget someone who was as handsome as he was.“Oh, stop it already. Grandfather promised to explain it to me. Better to wait till then.” She closed her eyes and saw his face again, smiling at her. His eyes were so attractive that she couldn't resist looking at it. She sheepishly smiled back and whispered to herself 'he’s so handsome' as she drifted to dreamland.---“Father, what the hell happened back there?”

"Achoo…" Jacyn sneezed as she shivered. Did someone think badly about her?"Hey, are you okay?" Liam asked her worriedly as he checked on her temperature."I'm okay. I just feel cold all of a sudden." She smiled at him. They're on their way to the office. Though they went to the office together almost everyday, no one suspects anything about them. They believed it was just a pure employer-employee relationship. "Drink some meds later." His brows knitted. "Uhmm, okay boss." She rolled her eyes at him as she agreed or else he won't stop on nagging her. As days passed by, she felt comfortable with him like she already knew him for so long. Even she couldn't believe it, she knew how long she could warm up to people, but to Liam. It took him barely a month for her to feel like they were the best of friends. "Young master?""Uhmm, yeah?" He answered gently without looking at her."Why are you so good to me?" She asked while she looked at his side face. He was so handsome even on the side
The Forgotten CEO 47. Young Master Yan - Part II
"Big Brother Yan! Don't forget me when you get there." The young Jacyn told her with teary eyes. She was in pigtails and a princess gown. She was the princess of the Lou family. She was seven years old when he last saw her. He was thirteen. Liam was twelve. Their grandfathers were best friends since they were young, so they grew up together. They became best friends. He remembered they used to play together. Jacyn was a bubbly, little girl who played with them all day. Since she grew up with them, the game was all for boys and she blended with them easily. She was not a typical crybaby. She was an independent and strong little girl. Their time together was shortened when his family decided to migrate to the States. He didn't want to leave her there but he had no choice. "I'll take care of her, Xueqin." Liam patted his back as re-assurance. He just nodded at him and gave him a brotherly hug.That was the last time he saw Jacyn. Four years passed and he received a news from his gra
The Forgotten CEO 46. Young Master Yan
"I'm just kidding you." Master Yan laughed out loud looking at the two of them. "I know you're really meant for each other." He said with a meaningful gaze. He remembered how broken everyone was when the news about the Lou family being murdered. Only few and closest friends knew about Jacyn being alive. No one questioned the Old Lou why they hid Jacyn for a long time. And now, he could see that the old man had done a good job hiding her. "I've known the situation of the Lou Group. Don't hesitate to ask for help from me, young lady. I will try to give assistance whenever possible." He added seriously."Thank you, Grandfather." Jacyn bowed as a sign of respect to him.He laughed, "The old Lou was abroad? Now that I have already come back, he's not around. How about the Lee patriarch?" "My grandparents were both in the province. They love the climate there, especially the morning breeze as they walk on the beach." Liam answered. " You should visit them one of these days. I think you'll
The Forgotten CEO 45. Connections
"Miss Lou, what happened yesterday? Where did you guys go?" The secretaries surrounded Jacyn once they saw the CEO enter his office. They were already on 'gossip' mode."Have you seen them lovey dovey with each other?" They were thrilled to know if their goddess and the CEO were really in a relationship.Jacyn looked at Mr. Ng who just got out of the CEO's office. They didn't know that he was there already. He stifled his laughter as he heard them bombard her by their stupid questions. He didn't move and shrugged his shoulders playfully.Jacyn secretly rolled her eyes at Mr. Ng, she really didn't know how to handle these bunch of ladies who look ready to fight to get gossip about the great Liam Lee."Well, the CEO dropped me at the mall to buy something." She lied to them, because she didn't want to burst their bubble. "Why don't you ask Chief Secretary Ng instead?" She pointed at him, shifting the burden to the innocent Jawn Ng. "If someone knew the real score between them, it must b

"Remind me again why a CEO like you knows how to cook." Jacyn teased him as they prepared the ingredients together."I was sent to study abroad when I was fifteen. I went from being the young master of the Lee's to a nobody. There's no one around to fend for me. I have to take care of myself." He frowned at her. "I learned to cook for myself. Later on, I enjoyed cooking to the point where I got part time jobs in the kitchen. Just to, you know, improve my skills." He playfully winked at her. "That's why my cooking is top notch!"She laughed at him. Well, if she hadn't seen him last time cooking for their breakfast, she might think that he's only kidding. But she saw how he moved in the kitchen. She would admit that he really was skilled in this area.They busied themselves in the kitchen cooking for their dinner. They didn't stop until their table was already filled with many dishes. "Let's eat!" Jacyn looked excitedly at the sumptuous dinner, ready to dig in. "Hmmm… you really have s
The Forgotten CEO 43. The way to a man's heart
"Mr. Ng," Liam said after a minute of silence. "You take care of her." Jawn Ng understood his task and he got out of the car immediately. Liam transferred to the driver's seat and drove away.Jacyn was observing silently. She had no strength left to refute him. She let him do whatever he wanted to do. In the first place, he was the boss and she was his mere assistant. "Do you have something to say?" Liam asked her lazily, without looking at her. He just felt her burning stare at him. She just shook her head and looked away. She really couldn't understand him. What made him change his mind about the whole dining out? "Where are we going now?" She asked when she noticed that they were on a different route. She thought that they might go back to the Lee Corporation since it was still early."Home." He answered her, his eyes on the road. Jacyn was dumbfounded. The CEO was willing to waste time today and go back home early. Usually, he heads to the office early and goes back home so
The Forgotten CEO 42. Provoked.
Lady Yu'er glared secretly at Jacyn. She was obviously not happy that the latter had to tag along. But she had to act that it was okay as she flashed her sweetest smile.She put her hand on Liam's arm like she was telling the whole world that this man belongs to her. She confidently walked beside him. She believed that in this world, no one but only her, could match the powerful Liam Lee. Lady Yu'er is the only daughter of one of the richest men in the country. She was also successful in her own career. She was beautiful and had a model-like figure. Jacyn thought that Yu'er was funny. If only she had to choose, she wanted nothing from the two of them. She just wanted to take back the Lou Corporation. And she could only do that through the help of the great Liam Lee. That means she had to put up a smile as she followed him.When they reached the car, Liam opened the door and let Yu'er sit beside him. Jacyn occupied the seat beside the driver, Mr. Ng.Jacyn knitted her brows. Was the
