Coming Clean
"What?" He was astounded, his forehead furrowed as lines of wrinkles formed on it. He was aware that she had been keeping some secrets from him, but not once had he imagined that it would be something related to Esmeralda... Or anything close to it.
"I...I'm so sorry to spring this on you this way; I always wanted to tell you, but I couldn't." She reached for his hand, her heart breaking when he stiffened visibly, emotionally blocking her out.
He licked his lips, the right words to say eluding him. Was he to storm out because he had specifically asked how she had come to birth Esmeralda while in bed, and she had lied with him inside her?
"It's difficult to process this." He finally admitted, standing and throwing a tank top over his head. Suddenly, he felt vulnerable with his body exposed to her scrutiny; he needed to think with his head, not let his d*ck get the better of him, which was what always happened when he was with her.
Jade felt guilt dig into

When the Bosses Meet Marking her Territory
Jade hummed to the music playing in her mind as she made her way down the stairs, caressing the newly polished banister.Everywhere smelt of cleaning agents laced with air freshener; it was obvious that the house had just been tended to a few hours before.After their rendezvous, they had gone to the bathroom and soaked themselves in the bathtub, talking for long long duration of time, hunger finally being the awakener that drove them out of the comfortable space. He had informed her as soon as he got hold of his phone that the housekeeper had texted, saying that she had arrived an hour before.For some reason, Jade had become curious about who this lady was. Perhaps she was being paranoid, but there was a friendly tone employed in Ricky's voice when he had talked about her. And the factor of her having worked for him for five years...The longest surviving staff in the history of Ricky's employees.And so she had plainly told Ric

"Excuse me please, I've got to take this." Ricky muttered, placing a short kiss on Jade's forehead and taking long strides towards the back of the house.Jade bit her inner cheeks, admonishing herself as soon as the first negative thought crossed her mind; just because he hadn't taken his call in front of her for the first time didn't imply that he was hiding some things from her.And who was she to talk when she had hidden deep serious secrets from him... She felt hypocritical for worrying."The expression on your face..." Kiara broke into her thoughts, her brows arched and lips drawn into a flat line. Jade couldn't understand her expression."None of your business, Kiara." She snapped then, forcing a roll of pancake into her mouth and pouring herself a glass of juice which she gulped down her throat. Her appetite was gone."Sorry about that. Just wanted to say that I've been friends with him for five years, and he has never brought any woman to h
When the Bosses Meet A Dinner with the Letter 'F'
She went deathly pale, green veins popping up visibly on her forehead, and spreading across her shaky palms; teeth clenched tightly together; lips quavering as her eyes failed to focus on a particular object. Seeing that she wasn't going to tell him anything, and that she kept hanging up on callers, Ricky took the phone from her, his heart skipping when his palms made contact with hers. Hers had gone cold like those of a person who had ceased to breathe and function normally. He read the information online as quickly as he could; it had exposed every damn thing about her family and business from Esmeralda's parentage, Chloe and the sleazy bastard who had denied the pregnancy, all the way to her father's crimes while in power as the CEO of the Raymonds corporation. He had committed all sorts of atrocities; using the company as a font for his illegal drug trafficking activities and their warehouses to aid female trafficking. And Jade was being accused o
When the Bosses Meet 'S' for Screwed!
After a while, she excused herself slid off the bed, her actions so calm it scared him so much. More than he could ever explain. He watched her pick up her phone and type some messages, before wiping the tears in her cheeks as though they encompassed a salty liquid of annoying flies rather than evidence of her pains. Then she walked to the closet, and pulled out her office wear. "Babe... Babe please, where are you going? The reporters must be outside." He dared to ask, standing and walking towards her as well. "I already asked my assistant to send for my chauffer. He will pick me up through the back gate. Is that okay by you?" "Fuck" he cursed beneath his breath, it was the tone of sheer politeness and emptiness, worse than the one she had used when they had first met. In desperation, he rushed towards her and wrapped his arms around her from the back, burying his head in her neck. "Jade please, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for l
When the Bosses Meet A Baby?
"You didn't know she's pregnant?" Those were the doctor's first words when he announced after the first examination and scan that mother and child were safe. It had been followed by silence, throwing open of lips like a box of cookies and the question, 'Pregnant?' "No, no..." He muttered, shock gripping him whole. With the help of Kiara, he had carried her to the back of his home where Jade's chauffer had been waiting. Well, waiting for a healthy boss walking with her both legs and seething in anger, not being carried to the car by a crying man soaked in a flood of her blood. She had been admitted into the VIP floor immediately, and sent to the ER where she had been examined and scanned. Now, the good family doctor of his who was attending to her stood in front of him. "It's okay, Ricky. She'll be fine okay? Just get a change of clothes while we prepare for surgery, there's nothing you can do here anyway." The fuck he would have the co
When the Bosses Meet The Road Taken
'Some time' became interpreted from hours to days, during which Ricky never left her side. It didn't matter how many times he received calls that the scandal was affecting his stocks as well because he and Jade had openly declared their relationship. Neither did it matter that in the expansive VIP room, Annabelle, Chloe who arrived the morning after the accident and Kiara took turns there as well, and urged him to go home even if it was for a day. He cleaned her every morning and night, his palm lingering on her stomach which was still so flat he still felt it was a dream that his baby was growing there. Outside, security was tightened both in front of her room and the entire hospital as well. Because the media was still outside, camping like locusts and waiting for either him or Jade to come out and give an interview. They had continued writing shit of course, stating that she must have hidden in the hospital room to avoid being prosecuted. B
When the Bosses Meet Oliver Jason
The last time he had got drunk, and drowned himself in a pool of alcohol because he needed to forget everything that had to do with reality, it had been the night he'd seen Jade with Rafferty at the restaurant, the night he had made the mistake of sending the red haired Kimberly to the floors and Jade had looked at him with those hard eyes.Tonight, he was here because his girlfriend and mother of his child hated him; because he had made another mistake of causing her reputation to be ruined, and killing the trust she had in him.."One more round, sir?" The bartender asked, staring at the empty glasses that Ricky had drained down his throat with skepticism."Yeah, fill everything up.""Just two glasses will do, Robert." Another voice intervened, that familiar teasing voice that Ricky had grown up having beside him."Okay, sir." The bartender replied, without making any pretence of feeling confused about whose order to take. When the owner of the ba
