All Chapters of Bound to the CEO: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Elli slowly opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling for a few minutes. For the first time since she arrived in the city, she felt well rested. She clutched the blanket to her face, closed her eyes and rolled to her side to savor a few more minutes before getting up and was shocked to collide with something solid.She opened her eyes and quickly sat up, backing away when she saw her husband, sleeping beside her, only wearing sweatpants. She turned to her bedside table and saw that her clock read eight in the morning and she suddenly jumped out from her bed, rushing to the toilet.I’m late! She thought frantically.She took off her clothes and took a quick shower, her mind picturing the face of her supervisor screaming at her. She cringed at the thought as she turned off the shower and grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her body. She then reached for her lotion and applied it quickly as well as her face cream.“This will do,” she mu

Elli looked up from her computer the following day when she heard Valerie calling her name. She quickly stood up and rushed to her area.“Yes, Ms. Valerie?” She asked formally.Valerie looked at her darkly.“I need you to go and get me three reams of A3 size bond paper at supplies,” she said curtly.“Noted, Ma’am,” Elli replied. “I will call supplies and have them here ASAP.”Valerie cursed at her angrily. “Did you hear what I just said?” She sneered. “I said that you go and get them. I did not tell you to have them delivered here. I could have done that already. Get them now. ASAP! I’m pretty sure you can move quickly considering you were absent yesterday.”“And about that,” she continued heatedly. “The next time you’ll be absent without telling me and only telling the VP, I will suspend you. Who the hell you think you are? Get a move

Ellisande leaned back on the park bench, shaded by a tree, she occupied while enjoying the sandwich she made back at the apartment and brought with her for lunch along with some lemon bars. She even made one for Mr. Jones for dropping her off again last night after another overtime in filing materials samples. She looked at her watch and reminded herself that she got another hour of lunch break.“Miss Val must have been in a good mood to extend my break,” she muttered.But, over the past weeks, she noticed that her supervisor is slowly releasing the reigns on her. She would still insult her from time to time and make her run some errands, but not too much. Perhaps she had seen that Elli never fought back and just do whatever she is told.After finishing her sandwich, she then reached for the sketchpad she brought with her and stared at the schemes she made for their latest and VIP client, GHI. She remembered the day when their VP, Ms. Florence called

Ellisande stepped out of the elevator on the 78th Floor, after receiving an order from the CEO, two hours after their encounter on the ground floor with their VIP client. She clutched her bag tightly as she walked towards the secretary, who is busy typing on her computer.“Good morning, Ms. Debra,” she greeted the ever-serious secretary, who earned the highest reputation as the most trusted employee of the CEO. “I’m here upon the CEO’s order.”Debra took her eyes off the screen and looked at Elli calmly. She had been working in the Kincaid’s company for past thirty years, and she will only take one look to know one’s personality. Right now, she is staring at the young Kincaid’s wife, few of the people who knows, and Debra kept her comments to herself for now.“Mr. Kincaid’s waiting for you, dear,” she said patiently. She stood up and led the way. She knocked on the wooden door bef

SJ looked straight ahead while sitting on the bed, his eyes cold.“Here’s your drink, babe,” Carmela said sweetly, entering the room with his glass of whiskey. She placed the glass on the bedside table and bent down to his face and giving him a hungry kiss. “I’ll have the tub prep. I’ll call you.”He watched as she walked towards the bath.His thoughts drifted back to the scene he had walked into a while ago. He knew about Ellisande staying up late in office. Ever since he knew about the maltreatment she’s been getting, he had one of his bodyguards monitoring her. He had also made sure that those who were involved in the videos were given the punishment they deserved by targeting them through their work performance.But, never in his mind will he feel angry when he walked in her department’s office and found her smiling and having an enjoyable conversation with another man. He saw how her face changed
