All Chapters of Fooling the CEO: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

I am restless. I stayed for hours sitting on the floor where he left me, before I came into my room just to cry again. I badly wanted to come into his room but that’s not the best decision to do. He probably doesn’t want to see me after saying all those words. All I felt was shame. This relationship is a daydream and a nightmare at the same time. Funny how this relationship turned out like this and I am accountable. Even if I wanted to explain things, doing that will do no good. It will just prolong the pain because the end of the tunnel is still the end of the road. He’s right. He did nothing but to love me and save me from all the agony of my life. He let himself get involved in my life for the sake of my mother’s wish, when in fact my mother is also one of the reasons why his family is dead. My father is his parent’s murderer, while the child is the one who broke him in the end. That kiss may be unintentional, and even if I explain to him what happened aft

Emma’s POVThere are different kinds of love in this world, but how come there’s only one pain?”Wow! What a miracle to see my evil daughter here,” my father’s first words when he got the telephone that connects from the other line.I look at him plainly. Without any emotion, I stared at him with no sense of empathy.”I am not like you,” I uttered. He laughed and his piano-like teeth showed up.”It’s been what? A year since I came here? This is the first time you visited me. Why? Are you yearning for your lover and now you're gonna blame me? He should be thankful that I didn’t get to come near him.” he said. My lids trembled in milliseconds, having a hard time to hide that I’m affected.”You should be the one who’s thankful. After all what you did to his family, putting you behind bars is not enough.” I told him. His eyes went da

“Are you sure? I told you, that name is familiar. No wonder!” Zoey exclaimed while I talked to her on the phone. She invited me for a video call after I told her that my ex-boyfriend is dating my boss. ”I… wasn’t expecting that.” I chuckled sadly. Seeing them together made my heart ache of course. I never stopped loving him in the first place. I never stop thinking about him through the year that we’ve parted. Seeing the man who told you that you’re his world and made love with you for nights was never easy to forget. That man used to be mine. And it breaks me even more to see him with another girl, thinking that he’ll do everything he did to me to that girl now and now that other girl is his world. While me, I’m still stuck with the ghost of the past. Zoey sighed. “Do you want me to go home?” I shook my head. “No, I’m fine. Really

That whole dinner is a pain in the ass. Who would stay sane when your ex is beside you while his recent girlfriend is on the other side. I was so doomed. He noticed that I’m gawking at his scent so much and that’s so embarrassing. What could he possibly think with those actions I gave him? He might think that I’m still crazy for him. I managed to hold myself until the second course of the menu. That conversation didn’t happen again, gladly. I tried to just focus on whatever it is that’s in front of me while I hear the small talks of the people around me. ”No, you’re allergic to that.” I heard Elijah. I pursed my lips. Even though my eyes are focused on the main dish that was served, my ears are fully indulged in the conversation of the two people on my right side. ”Oh, yeah. I forgot.” Ms. Madrigal laughed. I sniffed and used my fork to remove the vegetabl

We stayed in that position for God knows how long. Him, holding my face while our forehead touched each other. My hands are on his chest and I’m just making the most out of the time. I feel at home. I feel like for the whole year I’ve deprived myself from the pain and aches, this is the only time I let myself down like this. At this moment, my pains are so sure; the reasons are clear, and I felt so free. In this world, there are these people that are home for you. Those people that are not just meant to stay for a short period of time but in the long term. And for that I think because those people are meant to give you lessons. You are meant to look for their purpose in your life. And I think his purpose is this. To make me feel safe, always. ”I-I… I don’t understand.” I said with a hoarse voice. ”You don’t have to. I just need your answer. Is one year enough? Or do I have to give you more?”
