BREAKING MR CEO'S RULES CHAPTER FORTY-THREE
I took my clothes from the laundry and folded them absent-mindedly. I was going back to work in a few hours. I should’ve been asleep but my mind had been occupied throughout the new year break. I had also avoided the subject after I had spoken with Kol.I would be lying if I said I wasn’t worried that both message and flowers were linked but he had been getting them before I got the message.I’d also been sort of avoiding Kol, trying to figure out if I could tell him. If I should.I looked at the time once more, it was 11pm. I didn’t want to call Thea and disturb her. She was also trying to adjust to her new life in a new place.Now that the clothes were folded, I twiddled my thumbs, seeing if there was anything more I could do. I peered around the room. It was sparkling clean. Taking a deep breath, I fell unto my bed, back down and stared at the ceiling. The glow-in-the-dark stars Thea and I had put there were dimming.‘Oh Thea…’ My eyes pricked with tears and my mouth shook, tryi

Jason had only come to remind us of the fact that we had been backed against the wall. Even if we took the case to the court, we would have to suspend all activities on the app for as long as the case went on and Jason was intent on dragging it out as long as possible. He had also claimed to have the original file which we weren’t even sure how he got in the first place.Jason was ten steps ahead of us and it wasn’t that he wanted the app. No, he had made that very much clear. “You can never beat me. Nicholas, you never have and you never will.”My palms had itched with a burning desire to give him a twinning mark on the other side of his face. How Josh and Kol had managed to hold themselves back, I would never know. It was only Kol’s grip on me that had held me in place.I picked up everything that had been thrown across the floor. Kol and Josh had gone to ‘take care of some things’. Most likely, people were going to get fired. It amazed me that every single time, he came, he was

“What the f*ck is wrong with you? You scared me.”I placed my hand on my chest, where my heart raced, trying to calm myself. Josh doubled over in laughter as he let go of my hand.“It’s not funny.” I scowled at him, even though he could barely see my face.The lights of the parking lot turned on all of a sudden, momentarily blinding me.“Was this also your doing?”“What? The lights? Nope.”“What are you even doing here?” “Kol isn’t finished with work and I needed to hitch a ride. Then I saw you…” He shrugged. My heart raced for an entirely new and different reason. Kol was still up there, in his office.“He’s still up there?” “Yup.” Josh said, popping the ‘p’.“Once he gets like that, he doesn’t like to be disturbed.”I was worried about him. He had brushed me off earlier and now, he was pushing everyone away.“When will he leave?” Josh had no answer to my question as he bent down to pick up my stuff from the floor.“Let’s go. I’ll drive.”***I had been so preoccupied that I didn’t

I carried on with the day absentmindedly. I was still in shock even after my phone screen had shattered into pieces and I wasn’t sure there was any reviving it. When I had put my system into the dustbin and waste paper into my bag at the end of the day, Dara had given me a worried look.“Are you okay ma’am?”I looked at her wondering if she had said something to me with the way she was staring.“Hmm?”“Your laptop… it’s in the bin.”“What?” My face scrunched in confusion as I looked at where her finger pointed. My eyes widened in embarrassment. Absolutely no work had been done today. I stared at the screen endlessly and my mind wandered far. No one came to mind as I wondered who it could be. It was that bad. I had been told that I was abandoned as a child without so much as a note. While growing up, no one had come for me either so, I was thoroughly convinced I had literally no one.“You should go home. We’ll finish up here.” I nodded at her and gave her a hug.Dara had become someon

Kol and stayed the night with me and left quite early in the morning, before I had woken up. We had both agreed to go the coming Saturday when both of us would be free.I had taken the bus this morning because my car was still at work. I walked to the parking lot to pick up some things from my car when I saw a crowd gathered at the parking lot, the noise almost loud enough for me to pick up their murmuring.‘It’s 9 in the morning. What the h*ll is going on?’ I thought to myself. I made my way to the crowd when I saw they had gathered just in front of my car. “Ugh. That stinks!”“Do you know the owner of the car?”“Not really. I think it’s most likely someone who just joined us. Maybe a few weeks.”“I definitely know who owns this car. You can tell from the quite ugly model and terrible smell.” I knew that nasally annoying voice and would recognise it even in my grave.There was a pungent smell that permeated the air. I gagged from the smell as I noticed people also had their noses in

“How about you move to my place?”“I can’t.”“Why not?”My lips pursed as I tried to find a reason not to move into Kol’s place. We had been bickering back and forth for the past hour about what he termed ‘protection’. Kol had gone back to the office after I had slept off at the hospital to check the security cameras but there was nothing. It had been destroyed by the perp and there was nothing left to salvage. Even the hours before my car had been trashed showed nothing.So, Kol thought it best for me to move to his place. I wasn’t sure why I didn’t agree with him.“Okay. How about this?”I looked at him from behind his work desk as he perched his hands on the table.“You stay at your place during the week and stay with me on the weekends.”I bit my lip as I thought about it.“Or… I could come stay at your place. Whichever makes you comfortable.”I was fine either way but I said nothing and looked at him. This wasn’t even a conversation for the office and it was already Friday.“Fine

Kol’s eyes widened in shock. His hands and jaw went slack at the same time. Kol was always on his guard and to see him fumble for words amused me. I took advantage of his momentary shock and ran up the stairs, my heart pounding from what I’d said. I didn’t think I had it in me. My nerves frayed for an entirely different reason, a mixture of fear and excitement. I’d challenged him and he was going to retaliate. I knew that much about him. I heard the door slam shut behind me and my body jerked at the sound. I didn’t turn around, afraid of what I’d see if I did. My lips formed a smile as I felt Kol inch closer to me.“You know…” He was so close to me that I felt his breath on my ear.WARNING: MATURE CONTENT ⚠️ “I don’t get surprised easily but you definitely knocked my socks off.” His hand pushed my hair away from my neck and pulled on it not too gently, stretching my head to the back. His free hand trailed the skin under my shirt that had ridden up from stretching.I arched my back

“Hi.” I knocked on the glass in front of me while Kol remained behind me.“Yes, can I help you?” The woman behind the desk looked at me with her glasses seated low on her nose. It wasn’t a face I recognised. It had been years so, it was understandable if there were a few new faces.“Uhm…” I swallowed heavily. I was about to admit to another person asides myself and Kol that I might have a sibling I never knew about. I cleared my throat to seem more confident.“I got a call a few days back that someone came looking for me… for my file. I used to live here.” I smiled at the woman, hoping she wouldn’t see how desperate I felt for something I hadn’t even known existed until a few days back.“Your name please.” She seemed unbothered and somehow, I was grateful for that.“Victoria Trisha.”“Victoria Madeleine Trisha.” I corrected myself. I always thought it was weird that I was given three names. Usually, people at the orphanage are given just a name. Two at best, but three? “Your name
