All Chapters of The CEO: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

"Should I be expecting storks to deliver grandchildren soon?" My father asks, the moment we descend down the stair case.Noelle appears from the kitchen with a plate of cookies in her small hands, her eyes glittering with excitement. "Really?! Am I getting a little brother for Christmas?!" Xander and I shake out heads."Oh no princess, your little brother had to wait a little while longer," she pouts making me go to her level and kiss her forehead."I'm sorry but at least now you have most of my attention," her pout is then replaced with a large grin."It's six thirty can we please open presents?!" Someone yells from the living room, I laugh as Noelle runs to the living room Xander scolding her for it.Now we're all gathered around in the living room, including Kat...I wonder when she arrived.The kids are on the floor, along with Xander and I. Nic and Lia are cuddled up in a one seater, Julio, Kat and dad are squished on the love seat."Youngest first," Dad announces, and so it goes

The cold air whips my exposed body, I refuse to cry or look back when I hear a desperate cry for me to stop. Standing by the sidewalk I wave my hand in desperation to catch a cab, finally one pulls by. I get in the same time Xander exits the building and rushes towards us. I stare at him blankly and lock the door. "Where to Miss?" The cabby asks, I'm silent while watching Xander bang on the window calling my name. Tears are now rolling down my face, he tops and looks me in desperation. "Miss?" This draws me away, "L.A., I'll give the location when we get there," he nods and drives. My husband chases after us until the car is going at a speed he can't catch up to, I find myself looking back at his hopeless shrinking body in the middle of the road. When he's no longer visible, I sigh and slump in my seat, silent tears ruining my make up. "There's tissue in that compartment if you'd like?" I nod and reach for it, sniffling. "Thank you," *~*~*~* I can't stop knocking on the doo

*X Ambassadors- Unsteady *Anson Seabra- Broken*Astrid S- Years*NF- Paralyzed*~*~*~* No.No, no, no, no, no.Anger, fear and hurt bustle in me, my body is shaking and I can't stop it. Whatever hope I had in me is gone now, emptiness taking its place."What the f*ck is this?!" I yell turning to him, I haven't moved into the room much more.I'm too scared of what I'll see upfront, confusion is written all over my face. He rubs his hand over his face and hair with a sigh."What the f*ck Xander?!" I try again, my voice echoes throughout the empty mansion.He remains quiet, staring at me with such intensity that it feels like I'm being stabbed by a thousand needles.A tear escapes his eye, he doesn't wipe it away but let's it fall and allows the others to follow. I turn abruptly and look around the small but huge space, it's cold in here so instinctively I wrap my ar

Cautiously I open the door to Xander's room, I need a duffle bag and I don't have one hence I'm here.The house is empty, I called out for him but he didn't respond. Right now I don't want to be around him or anyone, so I'm taking advantage of the lack of presence to pack up.I mean sure I'm worried but I know he won't do anything stupid...nothing majorly stupid.Finding one I sneak back into my room and start packing up, random clothes but nothing much.What dad said is stuck with me, I really don't know how long I have. I can't stay angry at him, it's not his fault and well I just hard to be angry at him. I zip up the bag and hoist it over my shoulder then look for my purse and keys, just then the door creaks open.More like busts wide open but either way I stand in shock and watch as he stumbles in. I make no move towards him, he grips onto the door for balance."Salie?" My heart wanes at the nickname, I gulp back my tears.I couldn't think h

I said my finger hovered on the call button for many minutes but it hovered for many hours a day.I thought about all of him, every moment we spent together, his scent. I actually contemplated coming back and taking one of his shirts, that's how bad it was.I'm crazy, I know.I just missed the man that's impacted my life in such a short span of time...maybe an extra sixteen years.It was pure torture. I need him."I missed you would be an understatement," I say, he squeezes me as if to say 'me too'.We stand a little while longer until we let go, I don't even get a second to breathe or admire him as his lips crash on mine.Call this a double shot of ecstacy.It's like there's a fourth of July party going on inside of me, pure and utter bliss.The kiss doesn't last long as Noelle yells from somewhere that Nicky is here, we pull apart.Our lips are swollen and breaths heavy, his forehead is rested against mine and his eyes are closed.
