All Chapters of The CEO's Serious Pursuit: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Elisa walked back to her desk triumphantly as Ansel sat there dumbfounded. She found his reaction rather satisfactory. She shouldn't have let him have his release. He would've suffered a lot more if she had left him high and dry. But that wasn't part of her plan. She needed him to be smitten by her skills and become hungry for more.But of course, it would take a lot more than a blowjob for her to get to that point. She knew it wasn't going to be that easy, especially since Ansel was the kind of man who could potentially have any woman he wanted."Elisa."Her thoughts were interrupted by a melodic voice that called to her. It belonged to Anya. She was standing by her desk, staring at her intently."Mrs. Adams! I thought you were on vacation," Elisa exclaimed."It's Mrs. Williams now, remember? Besides, I told you to call me Anya. Connor and I got back early since I have a doctor's appointment. Is everything going well in the office?""Everyt

"Thanks for the ride," Elisa said and tried to leave in a hurry, but Ansel grabbed her wrist. He sensed her uneasiness the entire car ride. He tried to ignore it but he couldn't because she looked devastated."What's the matter with you?" he asked."Nothing. Let go so I can go inside," Elisa tried to free her hand, but Ansel gripped it more firmly."Bullshit. It's written all over your face. Something is wrong," he narrowed his eyes.Elisa sighed. "I am worried about her being alone, that's all. So just let me go, okay?"Ansel was confused. Elisa left Audre home alone with a babysitter all the time, so what was the big deal? Was it because it was someone else's house? He wasn't convinced, but he let go of her."Thanks again. You didn't have to do that, but I appreciate it anyway," Elisa said and strode towards the house.Ansel drove home after. He kept thinking about how worried Elisa looked. It was none of his business, and he should

Elisa couldn't believe what she was seeing. She thought she was safe from this monster named Gerald, but he was smiling ear to ear. Happy to finally corner her like a prey animal.She was terrified. It was hard for her to send him to prison in the beginning because he had friends who protected him. They went against her words and told the judge he had never abused her. Even some of her friends took his side despite seeing bruises on her body.Then it finally happened. When she was pregnant with Audre, he went too far and nearly killed her. She was lucky that she didn't have a miscarriage. She was finally able to send him to prison for endangering both her and her baby's life.Gerald looked at her and chuckled. "What's the matter, Sugar? You look like a fish out of the water. Are you really that shocked to see me? What, did you think you could keep my daughter away from me forever?""Don't call her that!" Elisa roared and stopped herself when she saw Audre

"Want to tell me more about this Gerald guy? How did you meet him?" Ansel asked after Elisa had calmed down. "It's a long and unpleasant story," she said. "I wouldn't want to bore you with it." "And I don't have to go to the office tomorrow, and it's your day off. That means we have all night," Ansel took her hand and squeezed it. He wanted to know more about her for some reason, even though he promised himself not to care. Saving her from that criminal woke up a protective instinct he didn't even know he possessed. "You won't look at me the same," Elisa whispered. She never wanted to tell anyone about Gerald. Not even Audre when she grows up. In fact, she was willing to hide his identity. That was the only way to protect her from him. She didn't want anyone to know all the dumb decisions she made and how he destroyed her life in a year. He broke her down bit by bit. She couldn't even look at herself in the mirror at the time. She knew once Ansel hear

Elisa didn't know why she told him all these things that she kept to herself for years. Who was Ansel to her? She didn't know. When she thought about it, she didn't even know if she should consider him her friend. But he did save her from a monster, and she felt oddly comfortable in his arms. She thought about not telling him the rest, but he was staring at her intently and waiting for her to open up more. She felt grateful to have someone to talk to. "Okay, um...if I told you all these, you promise not to judge me?" Elisa asked. "Do I look like I've been judging you this whole time?" Ansel raised his brows. "No..." "Then just trust me," Ansel said. Trust was not something Elisa was used to doing, but maybe she could give him a chance for once. *** Elisa meant it when she told Gerald she loved him. She was naïve and innocent. She didn't think it was wrong of him to ask her to prove her love by pleasuring him, so she did
