All Chapters of My Tyrant CEO: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

"That's that Hamish", I shut down my computer, cleaned my desk and shook his hand. "I'm leaving the company in your more than capable hands. I'll validate the work in France, but only in the evening. Sara and I need the vacation desperately. If you need my help, just call. If needed, I'll take the next flight home immediately. I'm available via sky, email and well, on my phone. Call me, keep me updated."My partner in crime shook his head heavily. "You needn't lift a finger Michael", Hamish repeated for the n-th time. "You and Sara need it. I'll make sure to hire more security as well as declare new safety measures when I have time to. I'll take care of the company, your lawyer will make sure the search for Sara's attackers is continued and your father ...", Hamish cleared his throat. "We'll, he'll play his part and cover up your absence the next two weeks."I nodded. I hadn't spoken long to my father, but he was more than helpful to cover up my traces and to trick Eleanor into thinki

Marthe led me to the house with the red paint and red fence, which had flowers surrounding it. She pointed to the left towards the vineyards. "Those are mine. Soon the harvest comes. A lot of work goes into this." To the right, she pointed out another field. "This is where I grow out my lavender. I never sell it just as lavender, I make oils out of them, soap and such."The stone way crunched underneath our feet until we reached the door. A welcome mat was spread out before the door and the front portico had two rocking chairs as well as a table between it. Both were made out wood and had red pillows on them. An ashtray and a newspaper were on the small round wooden table.Vines adorned the front fence of the house and even spread out slightly up the stairs which led to the entrance.Marthe unlocked the door and let me, Marie and Gerard enter. Jacques came later with our suitcases and disappeared again.I was instantly awe-struck. Everything was made out of wood, like an old farmer's

I awoke to Michael laying next to me on the mattress, both of us squished together next to each other. I had to giggle softly, then laid down onto my pillow again and watched him sleep peacefully.Of course he wouldn't sleep on his own. Whenever we were together, he explicitly demanded we always sleep next to each other.I traced his cheekbones and beard, kissing his nose softly. Michael mumbled something his sleep and drew me so close my face was pressed against his.I managed to glance back at his intertwined arms which had me locked in. Great, how was I going to get up now? A pain jolted across my upper body and my face twisted in response. Too tight. I tapped his chest softly. Maybe he would let go - nope.Michael only squished me closer to him.A low chuckle sounded from the door. I managed to twist my head slightly to see his uncle stand there.Victor came inside and shook Michael's shoulder. "Wake up sleepyhead it's 9 am already."Michael groaned at him and drew the blanket ov

Sara's POV"Somebody was monitoring your every step, Sara."These words rung loudly in my ears. Then again. Then again for an eternity.Michael was quiet. Why was he so fucking quiet?My whole body went numb and I felt freezing cold. It felt as if all the heat from my body disappeared."Somebody was monitoring your every step, Sara."It felt as if my heart had dropped into my stomach, yet it was beating loudly and hard in my chest. And louder. And louder. And louder.Until I only heard my heart and nothing more."Somebody was monitoring your every step, Sara."Fear hit me suddenly. My stomach was tied together into a knot. Heat arose from my stomach. Why was it so hot? Why was I so hot? I'm suffocating in this car! It's so hot! My whole body felt as if it was on fire. I started shaking.I felt empty at the same time too.Every. Step.The words echoed in my hollow body.Cameras and bugging devices.Every word. Every step. Every breath. Somebody had heard and seen it all. My arguments.

Michael's POVI stared at her, flabbergasted."What?", I flat-out asked, not believing my ears."Let's take a break", she whispered, avoiding my eyes.As I stayed quiet, she finally looked up.My girlfriend with red, swollen eyes and shaking lips was staring back at me.Blank fear turned into sheer anger within a split-second."Are you fucking dumb?"It escaped my mouth without a second thought. I had never felt this angry. Not even Victor could tick me off that badly."No wait I didn't mean it that way", I said as she was visibly surprised by my words. "No, not wait. No hold the fuck up", sheer frustration washed through me. My voice was getting louder now. I put my hands off her. "Why the fuck would you suggest a break!? I was about to say something completely different!""I-""This is not, in some Sara worried way, a way to doubt me right?", I tapped her forehead repeatedly."No, of course not!", she protested. Her angry-furrowed face went sad again and she lowered her head. "I don
