The Secret Lover (CEO Love Story) Chapter Seventeen Pt 2. - Meeting the Suitor
I was out there for what felt like forever, just loitering around beside those towering gates. The sun was doing its thing, blazing down, and I could feel the heat on my skin. The city's usual hustle and bustle were distant background noises that I could hear even from the far distance. People sure were busy everyday. Every person is unique because they are thriving in their own business. There is one thing that they do in unison though, contributing to the economy of the city, and striving to provide for the living of each their own; maybe even for their families..Standing beside those massive gates, I was playing the waiting game. How long was this wait supposed to be? And could I even get inside without Mrs. Catrin saying it was okay? She wasn't around, which added to the uncertainty..About forty minutes ticked by, and with each passing minute, I felt more and more unsure. Should I make a call to confirm? Or maybe this was a patience test? Overthinking was just turning my stomac
The Secret Lover (CEO Love Story) Harrison's POV - Sienna
It was one of those nights when my dad insisted I join a gathering with his fellow businessmen. The unfortunate part? I had initially assumed it was simply a meeting with my dad's business associates..In that sense, I was genuinely looking forward to diving into meaningful discussions, anticipating some valuable insights. However, the reality was quite different when I found myself among the individuals at my table. It quickly became apparent that they lacked a fundamental understanding of business operations, heavily relying on their personal assistants to navigate the intricate world of business..After the shallow conversations progressed, I realized their knowledge barely scratched the surface. Market trends, strategic planning, and innovative approaches were seemingly foreign concepts to them. It was weird, to say the least, considering my initial hopes for engaging in intriguing discussions..Nevertheless, I made an effort to contribute and share my own insights, hoping to st
The Secret Lover (CEO Love Story) Chapter Eighteen - Giulia!
I was just standing there, totally stunned, in front of that ginormous door. And get this, the person facing me had the same look of shock! She was about to blurt something out of surprise, but her dainty hands quickly flew up to cover her mouth, stopping the words from slipping out. It was a pretty funny sight, like we were in some surprise contest or something. The astonishment held us both in this silly freeze-frame, caught between being amazed and wanting to mutter the first words to one another. Who would have thought that somebody was standing right behind the astoundingly huge door?.We stood there, locked in a moment of mutual surprise. The girl in the doorway was undeniably stunning. It was as if she had stepped right out of a movie screen; she possessed the allure of an actress, perhaps even a model. Her hair cascaded down to her waist, a luscious shade of caramel brown, with gentle curls halfway down its length. Her eyes, a mesmerizing shade of gray, resembled the clouds be
The Secret Lover (CEO Love Story) Harrison's Point of View - 2
Today's date in my phone's calendar was marked with a huge red dot on it. The notification rang very loudly that it shocked me a little. Aleena, my personal assistant, might have set it from a while ago, that was why I had not remembered it. The notification was bright and big, written on it was a schedule of another meeting with those newbie businessmen bunch; I was included in that bunch as well. .It was time for another one of those gathering with the same old boring crew, a unique group who, like me, were destined to step into their fathers' well-established businesses. If it weren't for my father's interest, I would rather chill and play games at home instead, or go to the mall and take Aria along with me to go shopping. She would be absolutely delighted. Argh..Why is she always on my mind lately? I could not seem to think about anything else without connecting the dots to her hobby, interest; overall her whole existence. Somehow, I knew that this was the feeling that I had cr
The Secret Lover (CEO Love Story) Harrison's POV - The Wild Nightclub
I finally rolled up to the nightclub for our supposed "meeting." And let me tell you, the place was far from the ideal spot for a sit-down discussion. I was serious about what I said, I swear. The whole place was so wild, as the name implied; of course. Anyone who had their first glance to it would directly think that this place was specifically designed for rave parties.. The lights that shone from inside looked like assortments of gummy worms. They kept on changing colors, all in accordance, to the beat of the music. The neon lights started to make me a tad dizzy, even though I have not even stepped inside yet. It shone so brightly that much of those lights seemed like they jumped directly onto the streets in front of the huge building..I thought it was going to be a much more decent night club. Nope, instead, it was filled with bunches of naked women. It was basically a sea of scantily clad ladies all over the joint. You could already see them from the entrance. Now, don't get m
The Secret Lover (CEO Love Story) Chapter Nineteen - Where is Amy?
Today, I aimed myself to arise from my sleep earlier than usual. This is all for the request of dear Mrs. Catrin's early morning meal schedule. She needed a small bite to fuel her workout, and that meant I had to whip up breakfast for her just in the right time; before the city goes into a rush of hustle and bustle. .I slipped out of my cozy bed, leaving the bedroom. The entire apartment was wrapped in shadows; not a hint of sunlight yet. It was like a silent world before dawn, where the city was in a deep sleep. As I tiptoed through the apartment, I noticed that Amy was still lost in her dreams, her bedroom door firmly closed. Everything was serene, as if the world outside had yet to wake up..When I gently pushed open Amy's bedroom door, I found her still cozily wrapped beneath her warm, wooly bedspread. Nestled in her arms was the otter plushie she got from the zookeeper during our outing with Noah. It was like they were inseparable. Even the bunny plushie I gave her for her last
The Secret Lover (CEO Love Story) Chapter Nineteen Pt. 2 - Where is Amy?
I took a taxi so I could board the subway as soon as possible. I didn't know why but I had a bad feeling ever since I was cooking dinner for the Ludovico's family. It was an unusual feeling that I rarely felt before. I think I could sense something negative happening, but I don't know exactly what..As I hopped out of the taxi and hurried down the subway stairs, that uneasy feeling bugged me so much like a nagging itch you can't quite scratch. You know the one, right? The Ludovico's family dinner had been pleasant enough but it left me with a sense of uneasy feeling that I could not shake off..The subway platform was dimly lit, and the hum of arriving trains echoed in the distance. I found an empty bench and plopped down as I wait for the train to arrive. My mind racing as I tried to pinpoint the source of my unease..Whatever it was, I could not shake the feeling that something was about to go down, and it was not going to be good. My palms were clammy, and my heart raced as I kep
The Secret Lover (CEO Love Story) Chapter Twenty - The Search
I had known that I could not keep this huge problem from Harrison any longer. My heart was heavy with worry, and the weight of the truth had become too much to bear. Hours of scouring over the surveillance footage, that I had on my phone, had made it impossible to ignore the truth any longer. Amy and Poppy had been taken, and I needed Harrison's help more than ever..One evening, when we were both in the penthouse, I mustered the courage to speak. The tension in the room was palpable as I sat down next to Harrison on the plush sofa, the images from the security cameras fresh in my mind. I took a deep breath, my voice quivering.."Harrison, we need to talk," I began, my eyes searching his for any sign of understanding. "I have seen something in the security footage, something that I can't ignore any longer."Harrison turned to me, his usual calm demeanor replaced by a furrowed brow and a sense of urgency. ."What is it, Aria? You look so troubled. Tell me what you've found.".I nodd
