The CEO's regret Twelfth
Linna lost count of how many times she rolled from side to side on her extremely comfortable double bed, which now felt more like a concrete bed. She felt like a teenager, or maybe a child, her body sweated like in a sauna because it was covered from head to toe with the blanket, and yet she kept her eyes wide open inside and closed to the world outside. As a child she had the silliest fear in the world.People always talked about the old man in the sack who carried stubborn children or those who didn't sleep early, or the bogeyman and the headless mule. But that wasn't his fear, his fear was of having snakes under his bed. His bed had plenty of space underneath, where many of his toys were kept, but in his head there was a space where this snake could hide and attack him during the night.After he grew up, he began to love snakes. Snakes are amazing animals. Starting with the fact that they have no legs and can't see straight, their vision is just a blur and that's how they identify
The CEO's regret Thirteenth
- No, she pushed him away. - It's not possible. I thought I could finally be happy and I just threw myself into the trap! I almost... almost had sex with that bastard. And the worst part is that I only found out about it because of that stupid slip of his for calling me love. When Dylan put the knife to my neck I thought I would die right there! Inside my own home! With someone I thought I could trust! I'm a fucking loser.Robert pulled her to his body, making him take a step back from the impact her body made, his large hand little on her head forcing her to stay there crying into his chest. Wetting him more and more, not that it mattered in any way.- You're not a failure. - He closed his eyes, placing his nose on the tip of her head and smelling the good shampoo. - It's okay, cry. It's all right. It's not your fault, we can fix this, he's the bad person, not you for believing he was good! - Robert felt stunned. - Did he threaten you with a knife?- He squeezed my throat and put the
The CEO's regret Fourteenth
Robert stared at Linna once more, his eyes calm as his eyelids seemed light and heavy in the same instant, in less than ten minutes she was asleep, she was exhausted, afraid, tired, it was no wonder that after feeling protected she slept so quickly. Even though he wished she would sleep with him in his bed, he was satisfied that she felt safe there, in his house, in his presence. He could be hypocritical enough to say that in a house that size there were only two bedrooms and one of them was Matt's, so technically she would have no other option, but it was remarkable how she was so fragile and vulnerable so he just put her to bed, covered her body with the comforter turning on the air conditioning and making sure she was nice and comfortable.It was like closing his eyes to fall asleep completely. Robert closed the door after turning off the light completely and made his way to his room taking his fingers to her mouth where he squeezed remembering the kiss minutes ago. Smiling like an
The CEO's regret Fifteenth
- I'm Detective William, nice to meet you. - He held out his hand, his face was pleasant and he seemed intelligent.- Pleasure, I'm Robert. Father of Linna's son. - He smiled weakly, shaking the other's hand out of politeness and respect. Everyone sat down, Robert next to his wife, who was wearing a very comfortable flowered dress.- Well, you must already know the situation, Robert. I just have to tell you a few things. First, Linna, yesterday at three o'clock in the morning he came back to your house. - Automatically she shivered, biting her lips, and at the same time she managed to think "how nice that I slept over at Robert's house. - He didn't go in, he just went around the house, as if to make sure you would be there, but I guess he noticed that you weren't. For some reason he didn't destroy any cameras either, and doesn't seem to have noticed much of them. So what can be done now, and the ideal thing to do, is for you not to be alone and preferably outside your house.- How can
The CEO's regret Sixteenth
Linna ate her dinner quietly, she had already had five glasses of wine and her head was about to hurt, clearly becoming a devotee of alcohol for once in her life, since she is not even in the habit of drinking. She had arranged to have dinner with her parents two days after she and Robert had gone to the police station to meet William.Her parents, in turn, were eating and talking about any random subjects, enjoying the food that was served. Millions of thoughts were running through Linna's head, some worse than others. She was nervous. She ended up ordering her favorite dish and even that didn't make her happy, it seemed unsalted, tasteless. Every grain of chicken she ate seemed to be swallowing a piece of glass, without any willpower. The wine, well, it didn't look delicious either, but it went down more easily.The truth is that she was dying of shame to have to talk about it, to have to admit to her mother, someone so close to her, that she was meeting a handsome, neat guy, appare
The CEO's regret Seventeenth
- How did his mother react? - Robert turned on the car and turned onto the avenue as the music played in the background and the delicious breathing of the woman next to him blended in. Mixing with that perfume he was so attracted to, he wished he could take the liberty and touch her thighs, caress them while keeping his other hand on the wheel. They look so hot and tasty to him. Good enough to bring him unimaginable imaginations.- In a bad way, but it could be worse. I'm just not used to that contemptuous look coming from her, after all she is certainly the closest person to me in every way possible. But I can understand her, she apologized to me but I know she's still judging me in there, I can feel it, I don't usually trust people right away and I trusted him right away.Robert closed his eyes, in fact the way she blamed herself became more and more annoying, yet it was also understandable. For anyone who sees her from the outside of her world where she is the protagonist, they rea
The CEO's regret Eighteenth
Robert was dozing off in his armchair when someone touched his shoulder, and as he opened his eyes he saw the thin, corpulent body of the redheaded doctor. Finally he would hear from her. He didn't know what time it was or even when he fell asleep, that quiet hospital ward seemed like an impossible lullaby. His eyes were heavy in a way he had never felt before, not even on a horrible, tiring day at work. Maybe it was the smell of tea around the place, a good, balmy smell, as if that was the purpose.- Is she all right? - His voice came out completely hoarse and broken, he stammered, feeling a gap in his throat and scratched it deftly. His eyes burned instinctively due to the strong light spread by the distant and open room, he took his hand to his eyes where he avoided scratching and just stroked them lightly, blinking several times in an attempt to send that sleep away completely. He was feeling anxious, and obviously angry with himself for not paying enough attention to protect her
The CEO's regret Nineteenth
At thirty-two he felt that he had experienced everything and nothing at the same time. The kind of experience he had, was not the kind of experience that was funny or that he wants to remember, it is the kind of experience that added nothing to him and that caused him to mess up the lives of everyone around him in every way. Perhaps the worst of these was to totally break the company of his own family. Carrying that burden is the worst thing of all. All right, now it seems that things are working out again, the new partners are helping him a lot with new campaigns, but of course that memory is still there. And with it the contempt of his parents, especially his father.Even though they have not been in contact at all, he knew that his father still had a grudge against him and he could not blame him for this. Being inconsequential is, perhaps, what can end someone's life. Be it in a relationship, be it in a friendship, be it in a family. Robert managed to be in every pillar. Today, wit
