All Chapters of The Secret Lover (CEO Love Story): Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“The clock seems to tick slower when you’re anticipating something, don’t you think?” Phoebe’s gentle voice broke the silence. I lifted my gaze to see her face more clearly. I was staring at the small digital clock on the waiters' station. . “I don’t know, it’s not that I am anticipating anything anyways.” I gave her a little smirk. . “Then why are you looking at the little clock so much?” Phoebe tilted her head a bit as she questioned me. . “It eases my mind up from the thoughts that lingers inside my head. Kind of.” . Phoebe looked at the floor and then back at me. Her smile was a little weary. I could see it clearly even though she tried to hide it. . “You can always come over to my apartment if you need some company, Ariadne, I’ll always be there for you. Remember? We are friends, not mere coworkers.” . I gave her an assuring nod. I was not quite fitted with the idea, but I didn’t want to decline her act of kindness towards me. I did not want to seem like a shut-out bec

I just had a very weird dream. In that dream, I was unclothed with a man sleeping right beside me. When he turned around, it was clear that the man was Harrison. In my dream, he proceeded to move closer to me and caress the skin of my body. It felt very ecstatic. It has been years since I felt anything like this..It felt so wrong yet so right. The man in my dreams then moved his face slowly to my face as his hand crept all over my body. It gave me chills all over my spine. When he finally reached my ear, he spoke words only lovers would know. His voice was raspy and low, making my hair stand on end. I couldn’t make out what he said. After a few seconds of him continuing to whisper those dirty words, he finally stopped and looked at me with lustful eyes. He then grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and kissed me roughly. .We stayed kissing for many minutes. I tried desperately to fight back but I failed miserably due to the fact that he had a tight grip on me. Suddenly, the kiss end

It was late at night, the clock showed that it was almost 11.36 PM. Amy was already fast asleep, she must be really tired. I took her to an indoor playground after having lunch in her favorite fast-food restaurant. I felt bad for what happened this morning. She was really hurt by my words, so I tried to make it up to her. .As I kissed her goodnight, I tucked her in and turned off the bigger lights in the room. Then I proceeded to turn on the night lights. She was always afraid of the total dark. I guess she got it from me. I am also afraid of pitch-black darkness. One time I stumbled across a pair of matching night lights that goes on and off in accordance to one another. If one switched off, the other one will also be off. They were in shapes of the moon and star. I got the moon one for my room, and the star-shaped one for Amy’s room. Our night lights tend to be kept on all night, because none of us dared to sleep with the lights totally switched off, and in total darkness..I deci

After the incident, we did not immediately pack up and move to the hotel that Harrison told me to stay in. The hotel room which I will move to needed to be rearranged and cleaned up first because it was not used in quite a long time. Harrison said that it was not used quite often due to the fact that it had a smaller size compared to the other rooms. But as small as Harrison revealed it to be, I was sure as heck that it was much larger and more luxurious than the apartment that I was currently living in. Besides, comparing a cheap run down apartment located in the almost slum area of the city to a room of a large luxurious hotel which was owned by one of the richest families and located in the center of the city where most of the high rise buildings were located, would definitely be so far off the hook..We all needed some rest too, well, especially for me and Amy. Amy had just undergone the most traumatic experience in her life, so it would be best for her to catch on some rest for

Phoebe and I were having our lunch break. We were eating at the small diner across of Scalavatia, its name was Cabana Craves. It had been advertised here and there throughout the town, since it was a newly opened diner. However, the inside was not as pretty as it advertised to be on the outside. By now, we had already seen the most of it, but to be honest, the food tasted pretty good and quite worth the price. Well, Phoebe and I loved food, and she just enjoyed spending time with me when we were having lunch break. So probably we would spend most of the rest of our lunch breaks here, hopefully they will be open for a long time. .The waitress walked over to us with our food. .“Hi there, you girls want anything else special today?”.The two of us looked up at each other..“We're fine, thank you.” .The waitress left again without giving us another glance. We resumed eating our food in a comfortable silence. Just then, she returned with a small basket full of different types of bre
