All Chapters of CEO on the island: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Riley’s POV I placed my stuff in the box, glancing at my colleagues as they offered me a sad smile, passing my desk. “We will miss you, Riles,” one of them said, and I offered her a smile. “It was nice getting to know you guys,” my voice croaked out, barely being heard from the restless nights I have been through. They gave me one last sympathetic look before they walked away, heading to their meeting. I watched them as they left, leaving me all alone on the floor. This was the perfect time for me to leave. I wouldn’t see another sympathetic look on their faces. A door slammed open, and I lifted my gaze, seeing the last person I wanted to see right now. He flashed me a mischievous smirk, striding towards my desk. God, how much I wanted to cut his throat open. I said to myself, glaring at him as he leaned on my desk. How did I even ignore all the red flags, my sister’s and best friend’s warning? Love blinded me

Riley’s POV I woke up gasping for the air. Sweat beads hovered over my forehead from my recent nightmare. I ran my fingers through my hair, knowing it was over now. He was away now. “Is it the same nightmare?” My sister muttered with her eyes closed. I sighed and whispered a yes. She groaned, opening her eyes, looking at me with a reassuring smile. “It was three weeks ago, Riles. He’s away. You are fine now,” Lara comforted me, sitting up. She pulled me into her embrace, and I placed my head on her shoulder, feeling safe for a moment. “He’s coming out today. I’m scared,” I mumbled, and she rubbed my back. “He can’t come near you, and if he does, we will call the police,” she asserted, and I closed my eyes. Three weeks passed since that and it left a huge scar on me. Every day I had a nightmare of those horrible events and it even chased me in the morning. Lara was a lawyer. Among her busy life, she mana

Riley’s POV “What do you mean by bunking with a stranger?” I snapped at the receptionist. I was refusing to believe the sharing thing. I wanted a vacation for myself. Was that so hard to ask for? I stared at her, waiting for her to tell me it was a prank, but she just kept blinking and repeated what she had been saying for the past ten minutes. “You two will share the room, as there are no vacant rooms.” “But I booked it first,” I argued back. “So did I,” a deep voice was added in the background, and I turned around, looking at the person who just spoke. A man in his mid-twenties, maybe my age. He approached me with slow steps, his amber eyes locked with mine as he fixed the mass of his dirty blonde curls, tousling them to the back. It would be a lie if I said that man was ugly because he looked like he came straight out of a modeling magazine. His mesmerizing eyes looked deep into my soul, erup

Riley’s POV “So, you are sharing your room with a sexy Greek god… This sounds exciting and you know what will be great Riles-“ “Don’t say it,” I said in a warning tone. “You are a buzz killer,” Athena trailed off with a pout on her lips. “And I didn’t say he’s sexy,” I retorted back, and she rolled her eyes. “I know my best friend and by the look on your face, I would say that you liked him,” she asserted with a proud smile. “Your fantasy is getting out of hand,” I remarked sarcastically, and she broke out into laughter. I glared at her through the camera and she stopped laughing, smiling cheekily at me. I set my phone back on the table and continued eating my dinner, which was a steak and mashed potatoes. “Come on, having a little fantasy is the perfect way to live on this planet.” I rolled my eyes as I stabbed the cut part of the steak, stuffing it in my mouth. Having dinner at the beach was p

Riley’s POV My legs carried me to god knows where, no I didn’t stay in my place. I needed to return to the resort and I couldn’t do that if I was staying still. My eyes widened when I noticed a light bursting out a few miles away. “That must be a nightclub,” I muttered. I could go there and ask for directions back to the resort. I thought, picking up my pace. After a few minutes, I reached the spot, and it was a nightclub, as I expected. A long line of people was waiting to get inside the nightclub while others were getting out drunk. If I had money with me, I would consider going in and having some fun. The nightclub was in a strategic spot, looking over a cliff. It comprised three floors and the last floor was a roof that probably had a swimming pool, as some people came out in their swimsuits. Athena would’ve loved that place, calling it a second home. I lifted my gaze off the building and looked at
