Chapter 33: Confession
Few days passed and yet, Officer Mike was unable to find any lead. However I'd already settled my mind on one suspect, Lena. Even though I had no evidence, I believed she was hiding something.
I started suspecting her the day we talked on phone about the flashdrive. I mean, she gave a witty remark on it.
And like I once said if she was behind something, she would give or make a witty remark about it and if she was innocent she would abruptly deny it by swearing with her life.
Not enough for an evidence right? But I just didn't know how to trust her anymore, she probably did everything just to be with Nicholas. I never really suspect her this much but now I did.
Steven warned me against confronting her but somehow I felt that was the best thing to do. Hence I personally called her and told her I would like to see her.
She gladly fixed a date and time, and then I chose the position. It was at one of the coffee shops around the airport. We met an

After leaving Nicholas behind, I didn't go home directly. I was crying heavily and my face was blurred with tear. Not good for someone who's driving huh? Well, I also thought the same the fact that I wasn't seeing very well. I quickly parked at a park and cried all I could. Now I believed my mom when she told me men would forever be men, even though she later changed that statement and said men aren't that bad after all and also aren't the same. I wouldn't argue about men not being the same but I believed they have a lot of things in common. Steven had been nice to me but that doesn't mean he wouldn't change his mind on me in the future if he had to, men can change in the blink of an eye. I learned that the had way. When Nicholas left me for Lena, I almost committed suicide because I believed I had no reason to keep living. However Steven saved me and gave me a reason to keep living. And now I just felt like I shouldn't have listened to him,
Replacement CEO Chapter 35: Manipulated
Nicholas's POV Some time ago... The day I heard about Stella's rape, I was so crumbled the fact that I loved her so much. She was the love of my life and I was willing to practically do anything just to make her happy. Lena brought the news to me and when I confirmed, I found out it was true. In fact a footage of what happened was shown to me and I couldn't bring myself to believing it was real. Unfortunately, it was actually real. Stella was raped by some guys and Lena told me the guys were Stella's friends. "I don't know why they did that to her but Nichol, Stella isn't innocent" Lena had said and continued, "I caught her making strange calls with someone few weeks ago, promising to pay back her debt. She was obviously owing them a large some of money. You know, she was the one taking care of almost everything in their house. Her salary might not be enough for her..." She kept explaining to me, I thought knowing
Replacement CEO Chapter 36: Check in
With each passing day, my pain kept growing. I couldn't stop thinking about Stella and when I do, I used to feel like breaking down completely. It was something I had no control about, I just couldn't curb the pain.Lena tried all her bests to put a smile on my face and to help me feel better but all efforts proved abortive at first until eventually one of her ways worked out. She told me to come with her for a ride only to drive to the hospital were Stella was, she then advised me to go check on her.I nearly lost my temper on her for bringing me to the hospital without my consent but something just made me saw reason in what she did. I then agreed to do as she said but also requesting for her assistance.Yes, I needed her to follow me to Stella because I wouldn't be able to go there alone. Unfortunately, she said it would be better if I go there alone since it was my mission. "I would pay her a visit some other time, but now it's your day. Pl
Replacement CEO Chapter 37: Surprised
After taking a few days break from work, I decided to return back again. It wasn't as if I was really fit for work but I just didn't want to continue staying back at home. Staying at home doing almost nothing wasn't as easy as it seemed to be, the fact that I used to think more about Stella when I was alone at home. So I decided to just return back to work. When Lena saw me, she was surprised. Same as Kelly who happened to be the Chairman. I believed he took great care of the company while I was away, even though he had always wanted being neutral. He disliked stress. "Sir, I thought you are on..." Lena had said halfway as I quickly cut in, "Not anymore, Lena. I've finally decided to return back. Home is more bored than here" I had said, making her to giggle. "Sorry sir, you should have called me to come pick you up" she had said. "No, it's okay. I can still drive, you know?" I had sighed the m
Replacement CEO Chapter 38: Framed
Ever since Stella returned back, a lot had changed. Before she came back, I never imagined I would ever think about bringing her back to my life but the moment I just saw her I couldn't help myself. Of course I was willing to bring her back to my life but only if she was willing to tell me the truth about everything, and how she ended up being raped. Was it debt? How comes? Did she know they guys that did it to her? Whenever I tried asking her question about the rape she would change the topic. She would tell me to forget it and would try as hard as she could to not say a word about it. And gradually, I became fed up. Hence I approached Lena and asked her if she was really sure about all that she said because for some unknown reason, I was finding it hard to believe all that she told me ever since Stella returned back. And I was also finding it hard not to believe in the words the fact that Stella was obviously hiding something from me.
Replacement CEO Chapter 39: Redhanded
Today was another day at work. Lena welcomed me and then went out to get me a coffee. It was the work of my secretary but she took it upon herself to take good care of me since I was lonely. While checking the necessary files on my desk, she returned back with my coffee. She then handed it to me before sitting on the desk close to me. While staring at me, she smiled charmly. I took a sip from the coffee, added another one again... and again before taking a deep breath and smiling back at her. "This is wonderful, it's awesome. I love it. It's really sweet" I had commented. "Thank you sir, I actually made it myself" she had blinked sexily at me. "Nice, it tastes good. By the way, why the SIR when you could just call me by my name like you used to. I feel uncomfortable when people so close to me call me SIR" I had complained, taking another sip from the coffee. "Well, if you insist. I just want to see you happy
Replacement CEO Chapter 40: Pure lust
Few weeks after Stella left, she sent a resignation letter to us. When I glanced at it I felt a deep pain in my heart, I wasn't actually expecting such from her...you know? I was hoping she would come back after redeeming herself but reverse was the case. I called Lena's attention to the letter and she told me to sign it since that was what Stella wanted. And in less that twenty-four hours, I signed it and sent her an email approving her resignation letter. I also stated in the letter that a sum of five hundred dollars would be deposited to her account as payment for the days she worked with us before quiting the job, and another five hundred dollars as grant to help her settle her bills. That might not be enough to cover all her needs but I believed it was manageable. I arranged a meeting with some of our staff and then appraised them about her resignation. Some asked what happened while some murmured amongst themselves.
Replacement CEO Chapter 41: Kelly's family
Ever since we merged our companies and became one, Kelly and I had been so dedicated to our work. We never had the chance to chitchat or converse about our personal lives, it was always about our company...and nothing more. We also never had the chance to spend time with each other even though we were buddies. Anyways, today I decided to check visit him in his house after work. It was a surprise visit and when he saw me, he was totally speechless. He stuttered while welcoming me into his house. There I met his children, Zion and Travis eating in the dining room. Kelly walked me straight to the dining room and served me as well, despite telling him I was okay. Well, in order not to look somehow to him and his children I decided to eat the food. "Angela is at work, right?" I asked about his wife, she was a surgeon in one of the prominent hospitals in the city. "Yes, she was called an hour ago" Kelly had replied. "Emergency, huh?" I had s
