All Chapters of Falling for the CEO : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Nate dumped his briefcase and coat on a nearby chair as he waltzed into the kitchen. Beautiful by Christina Aguilera drifted from the sound system of the radio in the kitchen.Her brown hair was arranged over her bare shoulders and a baby pink flowery apron was tied around her waist. He smiled, she looked so delicate and soft in the clothes as she sang and moved her body to the beats of the song. He never really understood what people meant when they said they wanted to have a soulmate they could share the rest of their lives with. It sounded so unrealistic to him because he believed eventually, one partner was going to bail out on the other. Same way his father died, leaving him and his mother to fight their unending battles. He moved towards her and wrapped his strong arms around her, inhaling her scent. She was startled as she hadn’t seen him standing at the door but she let him hug her again, closing her eyes and she enjoyed the feeling and heat of his body against her.

Tiny raindrops pelleted the windows while Nate clicked away on his computer. He had lunch alone and returned to work. Ruby had now woken up and went about her day’s business. The sound and smell of the rain and the cold it brought made Nate want to shut his laptop and curl up in bed with Ruby whilst listening to one of her unending stories.Adam still hadn’t called him, neither did Jake.Nate stroked his chin, he was now becoming worried. Adam had two phones, one was his regular phone while the other was his emergency phone. He always had his emergency phone and always answered it. Nate had dialed it thrice and there was no answer.He sighed as he tried to think positively, maybe Adam and Jake were caught up in something important. Ruby walked in, creating the perfect distraction for him. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail and she had a bottle of water in her hand. She had just finished her rounds at the gym.Nate held his breath as he struggled for words. She wore grey l

Ruby paced around the living room, snapping and shutting the lid of a lighter as she moved. After Nate left her without barely an explanation, she took a quick shower to calm her nerves. Clearly, something was wrong but she wasn’t sure what it was. She ran a hand through her wet as she tried dialing Nate’s number and it went to voicemail.Her worry grew with every minute that passed. Was Nate okay? What the hell was going on?She had overheard him the night before say he had a meeting with Adam and Jake. She groaned and slumped into a nearby couch. Now she wasn’t sure of what to do, Nate had always instructed her to not call anyone if anything happened to him especially because he didn’t want anyone to know that she was staying with him. Now, it was an emergency and she had to act quick before things got crazy. What made it worse was that she was the only one at the penthouse, she was going to make a decision with advice or help from anyone. Her phone rang and she reac

The pub looked deserted, a strange look for a place that was always bustling with the locals. Even on days when there was no game or sport airing, the locals still gathered and talked about the current happenings in the city. Jake had claimed he grew up there and he was quite popular among the men. Archie, the owner of the pub, was outside the pub, right beside where the power bikes were usually parked but on that day it was totally empty. Nate frowned as he stepped out his car, his fear had gotten a better part of him. He had always thought Archie’s beards were too long and he looked like one of the cavemen in a children’s storybook. “Have you seen Jake or Adam?” Nate asked immediately.He was in no mood for formalities.He could tell by the look on Archie’s face that something was wrong. The man was jovial and always had a joke to tell but most importantly, he had a bottle of beer in his burly hands. “My pub had been destroyed and they took Jake away” he sighed Nate

Nate stirred in the uncomfortable bench, everything was a blur. He rubbed at his eyes as the light from the front irritated them. All the memories came flashing back immediately, he was at the hospital and Adam was injured, Jake was kidnapped and what of Ruby? “Oh shit” he cursed as he fished for his phone in his back pocketHe spent the night at the hospital after barely convincing Florence to go home and get some sleep. He reminded himself to call Ruby but somehow, it escaped his mind. It was a few minutes past six in the morning. Guilt washed over him, he couldn’t imagine how worried she must have been. He placed a hand on his waist, tapping his feet as he waited for her to answer the phone.He sighed as he went to voicemail and then tossed the phone into his back pocket again.Everything was happening too fast with little to no time to process all that was going on. “Mr Jacobin, I see that you are awake” a police officer said, walking up to him If looks could kil
