All Chapters of Sassy Orphan and The Twin CEOs : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The dark woods were eerily silent, the only sound being the hum of the car’s engine. Chase’s eyes scanned the road ahead, his mind still preoccupied with the events of the day. As CEO, he had presided over the discussion, guiding his senior executives through a thorough analysis of the company’s quarterly performance. He recalled the sharp lines of his CFO’s graphs, the upward trends and downward dips that told the story of his company’s growth and challenges. The discussions, the debates, and the decisions made around the polished conference table all replayed in his mind like a video on loop. Chase sat comfortably behind the wheel, feeling the gentle breeze rustling his hair as the window rolled down, allowing the fresh air to fill the vehicle. As Chase drove, the wind whispered through the open window, creating a soothing melody that harmonized with the hum of the engine. With each passing mile, his worries faded away, replaced by a deep sense of calm and freedom. Chase felt himse

Chase went closer to her. The woman or girl, apparently, was confused with everything. Chase did not say a word. He took his phone and called the doctor and he arrived in no time. “This is a miracle, Chase. She is out of danger now”, the doctor said cheerfully. What he had seen had pleased him. As the doctor prepared to leave, Chase walked him out.“ Now Chase, when you drop her at the shelter tomorrow, make sure you…..”,“ The shelter?”, Chase interrupted. “ I am not taking her to the shelter, l mean I have enough room”.“Oh great! Because what you really needed was a mysterious woman with temporary amnesia taking over your life”.“I’m only trying help!”, he explained.“ Of course you’re only trying to help. I’m sure your motives are not at all completely driven by curiosity or attraction”, the doctor smiled, winked as he drive off he shouted, “Just make sure she does take her medicines and she needs to rest. Her wounds just still need to heal completely and she needs be totally fin

Valerie stood nervously outside the company's glass doors, smoothing her dress and taking a deep breath. She had spent hours rehearsing her responses to common interview questions. With a confident smile, she pushed open the door and stepped into the bustling lobby. As she approached the reception desk, a friendly face greeted her. "Hi, you must be Valerie. I'm Karen, the HR manager. Please, follow me”.Valerie trailed behind Karen, and finally, she landed behind a long que. Despite her anxiety, when her turn came, she entered the conference room confidently, where two interviewers were seated. The conversation flew smoothly, with Valerie answering questions about her skills and experience.After the interview, Karen escorted Valerie to the CEO's office. “The CEO has requested to see you in his office now," she said, opening the door. Although Valerie couldn’t figure out the reason for this request, she felt quite uneasy.Valerie's eyes widened as she stepped inside the CEOs office. T

An hour and half later , the food was ready. Valerie set the table for the two and called them. The two men ate quietly, until Richey broke the silence and said, “Chris you seem to be enjoying the food.”Chris suddenly choked and coughed, he took a few sips of water and cleared his throat.“What?”.“I said you seem to be enjoying the food. Did you just say she is a bad cook? Because l would swear that this is one of the best meals l have had in a very long time.”Chris did not answer, the food was undeniably delicious, he felt embarrassed by how Valerie had made such a delicious meal after he had demeaned her as a bad cook. After they were done, Valerie came to clear up the table.“Thank you very much and you are a great cook”, Richey said as he smiled at her.“Thank you, l am glad you appreciated my meal. Some people are just so hard to please” ,she answered as she looked at Chris with the corner of her eye. She could see how he was creasing his face, his eyes rolling from her to Ric

A year prior, Chris had been diagonised with diabetes type 2. Upon commencing medication he had endured several side effects for almost over a month. He suffered from headaches, fatigue, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting. During those days, he was barely at work at all, all alone in his lonely mansion, no one taking care of him. He not only felt wounded physically but emotionally as well. He felt abandoned and uncared for. He had not shared the news with anyone, even his twin brother Chase. Fortunately as his body adjusted he felt better and eventually he was well again.On the current day, he had collapsed even though he was not quite sure why. On the same day he was discharged, Valerie drove him back home. Brushing off the moments of the day, he felt quite relieved Valerie was there with him. For the first time since his parent's demise, someone was taking care of him. Being drove home by Valerie felt different from being drove by his chauffer. It felt soothing to his senses. Suddenly
