CEO's REDEMPTION SUSPICIONS
I finish fixing Jerol's tie after breakfast as he is setting off for work. Life has to go on despite everything. Basically, time is not on our side at all. We are being chased real bad by the desire to unravel the secrets behind this mysterious return of this bitch and her lover, and the desire for freedom and our happy ever after as well. We are on the race - the race to our freedom and happiness!Honestly, I never speculated that I would ever find myself in a race against time and myself. I feel like there is a lot I need to do in this, and that too, as soon as possible. It feels like it's not only time that is running after us, but danger too if we slumber. I may be right, or I may be wrong, but those are my sentiments. And, isn't there a phrase that states that you should always take serious note of your instincts? The feeling is strong. So strong!The problem is, we still don't know what is at stake - what we stand to lose, and that is the most worrying feeling ever.On the way,
CEO's REDEMPTION CONFRONTATIONS
"Show time is over! Get your lazy conny arse up and explain what sort of games you are playing, Ellie!" I squeal as I stroll to her, ready to drag her out of the bed by the hair if she dares to keep acting up.To my astonishment, the bitch peels the duvet off her in a flash, jerking herself up and tapping her imprints on the floor, swinging her head from side to side like a lunatic.I knew it. It was all a show. What is the gambling on? What is all this for?"Oh my gosh! How was my acting? Did I do a plausible job in making a fool out of your supposed husband?" She smirks annoyingly, springing to her feet.She finds this funny? Seriously?"Bingo! Unfortunately, I do not have a medal for you, but I must admit that you are pathetically convincing." I retort."Thank you." She irritatingly responds, bowing a little with acclaim and itching sarcasm.If she thinks I am here to applaud and tolerate her childish and devilish games, she better think again."Start talking! What do you want to a
CEO's REDEMPTION SPYING. THE SHOCK
It has been three days since I had that argument with Ellie. Since then, she has been cooked up in her room. She only comes out for meals when she feels like it. The bitch is too arrogant for an intruder guest that she is. She doesn't talk to anyone at all, unless when she feels like insulting someone and parading her arrogance. Honestly, I am at the hang of it with her arrogance.Jerol is conducting his own investigations, but these fools are no ordinary fools. They are a couple of smart-asses! They have covered their trails so well that nothing is coming out of the investigations. Nothing at all, and I am getting so pissed because I want the truth discovered as soon as possible so that this can be over already.With the Grego idiot playing cool and dedicated by trying to learn about the family business, it is so difficult to find something to pin on him. But, shouldn't that be another sign? Don't ask me a sign of what, but ask yourself, why now? Why is he interested to work just now
CEO's REDEMPTION HARD TASK
I am literally pleading with my stubborn heart not to pop out of its cage as I step out of the car at the ample parking of this castle. It's throbbing with robust and boisterous agonizing rebounds of echoes. The face of my mother in the company of Ellie and Grego is the only thing I a seeing with my vague blurry sight as I saunter towards the house.My mother, with my mortal enemies? How unbelievable!Mark has asked me countless times if I am okay but my voice sunk somewhere deep in my belly after authenticating the info he brought, rendering me voiceless. Even now as I reach the door, I can still hearken to the concerned voice of my chauffeur asking if I am okay, but how can I reply? How can I be okay? How in hell can this be okay? The evidence I am cuddling so tight in my arms on my phone more than holds no doubts whatsoever that my mother has connived with my enemies to ravage me, but I am still vetoing to believe that she wasn't yet done with me when she sold me off like trash. D
CEO's REDEMPTION THE WORRY
I was about to bang my butt back on the bed and reminisce about Jerol's inconceivable task, perhaps ponder a little about giving it a try for his sake because I understand his predicament, or follow him, but a bell of sense chimed wildly in my head. A storm just stormed out in my presence. A tragedy is about to befall this family if I sit and fold my arms even for a second. There is no time.I grab my phone and run out of the room, running down the stairs but without forgetting that I am carrying a life in my belly. I cross the sitting room without minding the stranded servants. They must have been flabbergasted by Jerol's eerily demeanor, and now I am here topping up their amazement as I rush out like a person running for her dear life without sparing them a glance.I spot Mark talking to some God knows who on the phone. I howl his name, scaring the hell out of him and everyone outside. None is concentrating on their duties. They are all in awe of this live Netflix movie. "At your s
CEO's REDEMPTION DIGGING THE TRUTH. MORE PAINS
"What the hell are you doing here? Last I checked, we...""We had nothing to talk about. We had cut any kind of bond that tied us together and had a mutual understanding to steer clear out of each other's business. But you just don't know when or how to quit, do you?" I fume."I still don't understand what your unpleasant visit is all about." She retorts, playing dumb."This, Gracia!" I show her the photos on my phone one by one up to the fourth one. "Explain this!" I state when the is done glaring at the photos as if she does not understand anything.No, correction. As if she does not care at all!"And who are you to demand explanations from me, Tessa? Who do you think you are to stand in front of me and throw questions about what I am doing with my life?" She spits.Hello? Is that even a question?"I wouldn't give a damn about your disgusting life whatsoever if you were not meddling in mine." I yell at her, shocking her as she leans her face backwards, shock gushing over her. I comp
CEO's REDEMPTION CHAOS
"You keep watch, Mark." I say as I leap out of the car as it stops at the parking.With more dismay and everything that fear depicts mounting in me every step that I take, I start running towards to door, but my urgency is cut off as Mrs McCall makes her way out of the house together with Terris and some female servants aiding an agonizing Ellie. She is groaning in immense pain.I detested the way she hugged her belly until today, but now I feel like hugging it for her to ease the pain she is nursing. So, it is her voice that I heard through the call? Hang on! She still has two months to go before her due date. What the heck happened?"Take her to the car." Mrs McCall orders."Mother?" I call because no one seems to notice me. I understand them though. I am as scared as them with Ellie's condition. "What happened?" I implore as I rush towards Mrs McCall."Go and stop that beast inside before something worse happens, Tessa. I will accompany Ellie to the hospital." That is all she says
CEO's REDEMPTION EMOTIONAL PAIN
We crouch at the seat beside Ellie's bed at the hospital who is fast asleep.After that horrendous fiasco back at home, I had to rush here to the hospital and check on her and Ellie while Mr McCall had to stay back and wait for the police and watch over Grego. I left their family doctor already attending to Grego's wounds. That was the best option. To be honest, this is the most disastrous and awful day of my life. From finding out that my mother is my malignant rival now, to confronting her which left me almost shuttered, to witnessing Jerol nearly killing someone, and what stings the most, him walking out on me like he did not want me close to him at all. He left as if I was an alien that he did not recognize at all. Like he did not even want to rest his sight on me even for a second. Like, like he was so pissed off with me."Don't worry, my dear! I am sure he just needed to cool some steam off for a while. He will come around. You will see." Mrs McCall consoles. Honestly, these f
