Under The CEO's Spell Distraction
“Orleans?” Anders tried to make it sound casual, even though every part of him had suddenly become hot. A muscle worked in his jaw as he looked at her, waiting for a response.Veil nodded, her head bobbing up and down the window. “The cop didn’t tell me when he left.”“He was in the station with you?”Veil sighed and slumped into the seat. “When are we going to get there?” she said. “June must be so worried. I want a burger.”Her thoughts were all over the place, and Anders found it adorable. But he couldn’t ignore the fact that Orleans had somehow played a role in getting her to the station, yet had left her there. “How did you end up at the station?”“Orleans was going too fast,” she muttered. “He was trying to sing the song, and then the cops asked us to stop. The lights were blinding and they hurt my eyes.”“That’s because you have been drinking too much,” Anders muttered, rolling his eyes. “And Orleans? Was he drunk too?”Veil shrugged and looked at him. “I don’t know.”“You don

When Veil was younger, she had a toy she always wanted to play with. Even when it got old and ragged, taking it away was the hardest thing. Her mother had once hidden it under a pile of clothing, and Veil had cried every day, unable to sleep without it. But one day, when everyone had forgotten about it, Veil had been sorting out the pile of clothing when she discovered it at the end. She had felt excitement coarse through her bones as she held it in her hands. It was like the first time her father had brought it over during dinner. Her lips parted slightly as she gazed up at it, feeling all her worries melt away. All the sleepless nights seemed worthwhile for that moment, and if Veil had been given the opportunity to lose the toy all over again, she would have. It felt the same with Anders, his lips tugging at hers, probing her open. Veil gasped into his mouth and felt all her worries melt into that one moment. Perhaps, it was the alcohol increasing her feelings, but Veil knew

Anders suddenly put a hand on her wrist, stopping her before she went any further. She looked at him with a question in her eyes, but Anders smirked and started walking, making her take steps backward until the back of her legs hit the bed. He pulled her to him with such speed that Veil barely had time to react before he slammed her lips on hers. Snaking his hands on her thighs, his hand met her damp panties and he reveled in the feeling. “Do you know how many times I’ve imagined doing this?” He drawled, moving her panties sideways, and sliding one finger deep inside her. Veil bit back a moan as she pushed her hips towards him provocatively, griding fast and hard. Anders loved every bit of it. He turned her around, and swept her hair to one corner, bringing down her zip slowly, his hands playing with her bare skin every second. The dress fell to the ground easily, and Veil stepped out of it, feeling self-conscious. “Sophia definitely looks a million times better than I do,” she

Veil thought she heard the sound of a shower running in her sleep, but when her eyes finally fluttered open, there was a peaceful silence permeating the room. Rolling to the other side of the bed, she basked in the ray of sunlight coming in through the window.Summer had always been her favorite season, but she recently didn’t have the liberty to enjoy it. But right now, it felt like the whole world had come to a standstill, and she had all the time in the world to enjoy it.There was a faint sound coming from somewhere outside the door, and Veil’s senses suddenly grew conscious of a million things all at once. She noticed the sheets smelled of cedar wood and not the regular smell of recently washed cotton. She also saw that the bed stretched wide at both sides, defeating the regular sizes of beds she was used to.Sitting with a start, Veil looked around the masculine-themed bedroom, and the memories came flooding. Her mouth fell open when the images flashed - of Anders inside her, hi

June was pacing by the door when Veil stalked in, walking right past her into the living room. She threw herself on the couch, flung her purse to the table, and buried her face in her hands.“Veil Hart!” June yelled, walking over to her with a fierce yet concerned look. “Where the hell have you been? I’ve been calling you for the past ten hours, and you didn’t pick up one call. Do you know how worried I have been?”“You’re yelling,” Veil grumbled, squinting up at her best friend. “I have a headache, and you’re not making it any better.”Although June went to sit beside her, she was still upset. “How about you start by telling me where you’ve been? I’ll see about getting you an aspirin.”“I don’t know,” Veil shrugged, then leaned against the backrest.“You don’t know what?” June thought she was going to pass out from anxiety. “Where you’ve been or whether you need the aspirin.”“I went for a couple of drinks with Orleans and …”“Orleans? The cute guy who was here the other day?”Veil

Sunday came with a little chill in the air, signaling that Summer was already taking its exit. But all Veil could think about as she got ready to go to the hospital was the fact that her father had been there all through Summer, and time wasn’t on their side anymore.As she prepared a breakfast basket, June walked into the kitchen in a pair of black tailored pants and a body suit and approached the coffee machine.“The last time you were up this early, you followed me to work just because you wanted to see Anders, who, by the way, you had seen already at the club. So, what’s today’s own about?”“Nothing that dramatic,” she replied, getting the coffee powder. Her father personally supplied their coffee from Brazil, and they had gotten so used to it that no other one tasted right. Fortunately for Veil, the one at Kingston Groups was also sent in from Brazil.“Your definition of drama supersedes mine,” Veil muttered, grabbing some bottles to fill them with freshly squeezed juice. Her fa

The hallways smelt like disinfectant and lavender, an odd scent that had already grown on Veil. It barely bothered her as she walked to the coffee shop on the first floor and took a seat, staring out into space.She needed to think about how to get the money before Tuesday, yet her brain chose that time to keep mute. She felt nothing other than a slow, seeping need to just let go and watch everything go up in flames around her.It sure would hurt, and maybe she would go under after that, but right now, nothing made sense, and her brain was unwilling to even make sense of it.Someone approached her with a pamphlet about saving a kid who had to undergo heart surgery, and Veil reached out mechanically to take the paper. She skimmed through it for a second and let it drop to the table in a whisper.Although she felt bad the moment the person walked away with disappointment etched on his features, Veil thought that she was no different from him, only that she wasn’t handing out fliers. She

Everyone in the hallway stared as Veil darted past, intent on avoiding Anders as best as she could. She knew it would all be for naught as the next day was Monday and she had to be at work.That was if she still had a job, considering what happened with Anders the previous night.Refusing to think about that, Veil ducked into a corner, and stayed there, waiting to hear Anders race past. But after a few minutes of hearing nothing, she came out to find the hallway empty.“Maybe he doesn't care about you as much as you think he does,” Veil berated herself, feeling stupid for even running away. He hadn't even gone after her for too long.Sighing in unwarranted frustration, Veil stalked back to the ward to join June, feeling bad that she had left her best friend in there for too long. But a smile lit up her face when she walked in to see her father laughing with June.They were playing some sort of card game the hospital kept around and Veil watched from the door as June allowed him to win

Under The CEO's Spell ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO
MONTHS LATERElvis Presley's “can't help falling in love” reverberated across the full hall as Veil walked down the aisle slowly, in the arms of her father, with June behind her, unable to stop smiling so wide. Veil's best friend seemed to be the most excited about this wedding, as she had been in such a great mood since Veil returned with Anders to Mexico, the news of their engagement in tow.She and Amanda had been responsible for all the planning, leaving Veil nothing to do than being doted on by Anders and taking care of her gradually bulging stomach. Veil thought it was better to do the wedding before she wouldn't be able to walk easily, and Anders was cool with whatever she wanted.Anders was at the aisle, with Lucas by his side, the roles reversed so beautifully. His wife, Amanda, was at the front pew, dabbing at her eyes and at the same time, glancing at her watch. She was in charge around here and since Amanda was the queen of perfection, she wanted everything to be in place
Under The CEO's Spell ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY ONE
Anders walked into the house with trepidation since Veil hadn't said anything about welcoming him with open arms. He had taken too long to realize he was in love with her, and the thought plagued him as he stood in the center of the small and cozy living area, struck at how homely she had made it look.“This is nice,” he noted, not expecting Veil to dignify him with a response. That explained how his eyes raised in surprise when she smiled at him, a sigh escaping her slightly parted lips. “I'd always wanted my own space,” Veil explained. “But living with June has made me realize that perhaps, solitary living isn't for me.” She laughed awkwardly and sat on one of the mismatched couches. “It's been a little bit hard living alone. I don't know how to cook just for myself, and there's no one to fix me a quick snack when I'm too tired to lift a finger.”Anders wanted to tell her that he would happily do all of that for her, but something kept him mute. He wasn't certain how open she would

Anders didn't bother to change into something else, getting onto the private jet from his landing. The tuxedo made him look like he was going to a ceremony, but there wasn't any time to go back home, especially since Anders made the decision in the spur of the moment.The usual readings of the weather, flight safety information, and weather forecast were announced before the jet took off from the ground, and Anders wished they could go faster. His legs bobbed in the aircraft and he shuffled between looking out through the window and scrolling through the magazines before him.He wasn't going to get to Veil in the next five hours and now that Anders was midair, he was beginning to think about the spontaneous choice he had just made. Perhaps, he should have celebrated the day with his best friend, then waited till the following morning before making the trip. He hadn't even considered if Veil would be open to receiving him. If that happened, was he just going to come right back?The ans

Anders was in the room with Lucas, helping him with his brooch before he went to the aisle to wait for his bride. Lucas hadn't stopped talking about how special he thought Amanda was and how lucky he was to have her as his bride. At first, Anders was receptive to the emotions flowing, even handing Lucas a napkin when tears threatened to fall from his eyes. But three hours into the day, Anders decided that it was getting on his nerves. And not in a bad way. The more his best friend spoke about love and the beautiful things it had done to him, the more he feared that his choice not to believe in love was more damning than it did him any good. It was becoming oddly real to him, that Lucas and Amanda were going to need their privacy after today, so he wouldn't be able to disturb them as often as he was used to.“Don't look so sad, Anders,” Lucas drawled, patting his friend's face affectionately. “We're still going to be your friends. Things are just going to be a bit different.”“How so?

“Veil!” June yelled from the living room, where she was huddled with her laptop, peering up at the screen. She had been at it for a couple of hours now, muttering that she had a deadline to meet up with, more urgent than having a shower or eating. Peeking out from the kitchen where she had been trying to whip up a snack for her best friend, Veil rolled her eyes and muttered something about her yelling being worth it before leaning on the door frame. She was only about six weeks gone, and the pregnancy hadn’t started showing yet. “I hope it isn’t something as mundane as getting you a glass of water,” Veil murmured, eyeing June, who still had her eyes glued to the screen of her laptop. “You got the job!” June said at the top of her voice, and for once, Veil didn’t complain about her best friend yelling when she was right beside her. Veil covered the distance in one second, planting herself by June’s side as she peered down at the mail open on the screen. Veil had logged on to her ema

Anders was in Lucas’ studio, watching his best friend and Amanda gush over the idea they had for their wedding. They wanted it to happen there since it was not only cost-effective but they could, at the same time, have an influence over the decorations.Lucas wanted the paintings he had made of Amanda gracing the walls that day, with the pictures they'd taken together showing the journey of their dating life. They giggled when they saw an old picture of the four of them - Amanda, Lucas, Anders, and Camila, and tears pooled at the corner of Amanda's eyes. She whipped them off hastily before Anders or Lucas could notice. She only wanted to have happy memories of her best friend.“What do you think about beige?” Amanda threw at Anders who looked like he wanted to be anywhere else but there. Unfortunately, he had nowhere else to go. The bar sounded like a very tempting idea right now, but Anders knew it was too much of a show since the whole of Mexico knew who he was and there wasn't goin

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-SIXJune couldn't get rid of the surprise etched on her features, no matter how hard she tried. And oh boy, she did try. She walked behind Veil like a shadow, following her every moment and popping the question a million times, so much so that Veil started locking her room door to keep June out in the middle of the night.She had to inform her parents too about the development, and they were supportive of her decision. Veil had resigned from Kingston Groups and sent her CV to the English Investors’ company. She was awaiting feedback from them. On the day she sent in her resignation letter, Veil ensured she was in and out of the company like a breeze, too fast before Anders could realize she was there in the first place. She came just after lunch, meeting Simon at the desk who was about to make a sharp U-turn to stay out of her way.It made Veil laugh about the comedy that had become her life. Just a couple of months ago, Anders was threatening every sing

June was waiting by the door when Veil got home, and she allowed herself get whisked into the living room, with June watching her like she would drop to the floor at any minute. June was not far from the truth because the only thing holding Veil up was the fear of doing anything to harm the baby.It was still pretty early and she had read somewhere that the first few months of a pregnancy were usually the most delicate, and extra care needed to be taken in order to get through it.June said nothing until later in the night, when Veil came out for a snack. She was working in the kitchen, a huge pair of frames on her eyes when Veil sauntered in, covered in her cute small pyjamas.“Hey,” June called, taking off her glasses. Veil hadn't told her anything since she returned because she didn't want to overburden her best friend with the drama that had been going on in her life. They felt unending, from one level to the other. Veil couldn't remember the last time June had complained about so
Under The CEO's Spell ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY FOUR
Those words would have rocked the whole of Veil’s world if she wasn’t so certain of what she had seen in Anders. He was one of Mexico’s greatest businessmen, but the one thing he couldn’t do as expertly as running a business was lying to her. He tried to be mean, to act like he didn’t give two fucks about Veil. But she could see through the walls he had put up, and he had no one to blame for that but himself. The days he had spent with her had opened him up more than he had thought possible, and now, he was left staring at the face of the woman who didn’t believe him one bit when he said he wasn’t in love with her. “I can’t lie about my feelings for you,” Anders said, his tone almost pleading for her to reason with him. “And I have tried my best to make it clear from the beginning that I want nothing more from this than what you want, or at least, what I thought you wanted.” Veil shook her head. “Maybe at first, you believed those words as much as you try to convince yourself now
