All Chapters of That First Night With Mr. CEO : Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

Halos masilaw si Charlie sa pagtanaw sa saranggola niya na pinagtulungan nila ni Gael na paliparin kanina. The pink kite she chose was flying high in the blue sky-- proudly displaying the wish she wrote on it before she let it fly.Wala sa sarili siyang napatingin kay Gael na noon ay nasa malapit lang, abala rin sa pagpapalipad ng saranggola nito.He was smiling from ear to ear. A bolt of memory flashed through her mind as she remembered the very first time she realized she had a crush on him.She was on the 5th grade and he was already in high school. They don't see each other as often as they did when she was still homeschooled. Saka na lang sila nagkikita tuwing umuuwi siya sa San Gabriel during school breaks. But Gael will always be at their beach house to accompany her. Before Jasmine, she only had Gael as her friend and no one else. She had always seen him as her hero in his long dirty blonde hair, tanned skin and ripped jeans.She remembered the first time her heart fluttered

Ilang sandali ring tahimik na naglakad sa may baybayin sina Gael at Charlie. Reveling the beauty and wonder of nature. “Do you know how to swim?” tanong ni Gael sa kanya, maya-maya. She smiled, as the memory of the first time she successfully floated on the water resurfaced in her mind. “I do. You taught me, Gael.” Mabilis itong napabaling sa kanya. “Really now. I didn’t know I had a teacher in me,” natatawang sabi nito, kuntodo ang ngisi. “I think I’m your first and last student. So don't be so cocky, Gael. You’re not that great,” she retorted, rolling her eyes in fake annoyance. Lalo itong natawa. “Do you know how cute you looked whenever you do that?” Nagsalubong ang mga kilay niya. “Do what?” “’Yan, kapag umiirap ka. You looked cute.” She averted her eyes from him when she felt her cheeks heating up. “Tell me about your grandfather,” pag-iiba niya sa usapan. “Well, Opa Aksel is kind to me. He taught me everything I know about running our business. I owe him everything.”

“Tell me the story,” ani Gael kay Charlie, marahang hinahaplos ang daliri niyang may nakasulat na ‘palagi’.They were sitting at the sofa. Kandong siya nito habang ang kumot lang na nahalungkat nila sa isa sa mga boxes na naroon ang nakatapis sa kanya. They had just spent the last few hours making love in all parts of the beach house. She felt like they were back to the honeymooners they were once before—insatiable and couldn’t get enough of each other.She leaned her head on his chest as she turned to the big window. Madilim na subalit patuloy pa rin ang malakas na pagbuhos ng ulan. She made a mental note that she should make an alibi as early as now before Axel and Jacob would go berserk and realize that she’s too far gone from safety.Wala sa sarili niyang kinuha ang kaliwang kamay ni Gael na mayroon matching tattoo ng sa kanya. She gently intertwined their hands together and she thought how perfectly their hands meld with each other. Like two perfect puzzle pieces. A sudden wave

Charlie stood between silent chaos and fire for a while. She just stared at her Dad and Grandpa and feeling Gael’s presence behind her. She didn't know what to do. She willed her mind to think, to do something… anything! But her logic faltered and so she just chose to surrender to the uncomfortable silence.Maya-maya pa, tumunog ang cellphone ni Jacob. “Yes, Sir. She’s with Gael, indeed.”Whom was he talking to? Was it Gray? Or Sir Eric?And indeed? Were they just checking if she’s there or not? For some random chance was someone close to her knew that she’s with Gael?Pero sino naman? She was careful when she left Manila yesterday. Wala siyamg pinagsabihin ni isa. Lalo tuloy siyang naguluhan dahil marami na namang tanong na wala na namang kasagutan. Subalit mabilis din na nawala ang mga iyon sa isip niya nang magsalita ang Daddy niya.“Charlie, let’s go home,” anito, ang mga mata nakatutok sa kanya. Her father’s face was void of any emotion but she can hear the disappointment in h

“Will you not say anything, Gael?” pukaw ng lolo ni Gael sa kanya nang manatili siyang tahimik pagkalipas ng ilang sandali dahil sa sinabi nitong balita. “Aren’t you happy that I’ve bought you the perfect weapon to exact your revenge against the Sandejas family?”He gritted his teeth, fury slowly overcoming him. Kung noon siguro 'yon ginawa ng lolo niya, noong hindi pa siya bumabalik sa Maynila, he might have consider it. But not right now. Not when he was not the same man who's only after revenge when he left Germany almost two months ago.He is far from elated right now. Truth be told, he is pissed! He wanted to yell and curse at his grandfather. Tell him how he fcked up everything that he planned for him and Charlize. Tell him how wrong he is in doing things he didn’t even ask for him to do. And how close he is from severing ties with him right now for wanting the downfall of the very woman he had learned to loved twice in his damned lifetime!Last night, for the first time in five
