THE CEO’S VENDETTA

Alex’s mother was taken aback, she must have thought bad about me because I am the only change here…

I tried to signal Alex not to make me look like a bad woman.

“She came into your life and you were able to sleep?” she asked mockingly. “Well that’s great” she commented facing me.

“First she’s the one who caused the company’s issue within few weeks of joining the company not more than a week ago and now she’s in your house… Only God knows the turmoil she’s about to create … ” Mrs Reynolds shouted as she boldly express herself

“Mum… this is getting too much, this is my house and no one tells me how to manage it” Alex said furiously

“Can you see, how corrupted you have become, you are now shouting at me. Now little girl before I open my eyes leave this house now”.. she commanded

But I has firmly held unto by Alex, “she’s mine and she carries my baby”.. this time around I forcefully got out of his grip and was about to defend myself

“Ma, I’m not…” I was cut off before I could finish the sentence

“You are not what? …. You are a slut and a gold digger, all you want is his money right? Do not worry, i will deal with you

I have never seen my son this angry and defensive. Of a truth he has been suffering from insomnia right from his college days, we did not know the cause. My husband and I have invited several doctors, visited international hospitals for cure, all in no avail.

Here, he is saying that he has been cured by a mere girl, who is the cause of his illness.

And you are telling me that All I should do is to keep quiet and let you spit out all these jargons.

Alex shaking all over him said,” if you were happy seeing me in that condition, reject her. Or rather, if you don’t want a son anymore, send her away from me.” I could see Mrs Reynolds shaking with fear, thus is the worst words any mother would hear. “I don’t want my son anymore?” “I am just looking out for you son.” She cried.

“Are you happy now “, she asked as stared at me.

I tried to avoid her gaze.

After few minutes, she cleaned my face and walked away.

“What’s going on sir? Why will you say I’m carrying your baby?” I asked, I really need an explanation at the moment as I don’t recall dating him and never had a night with him.

“You drift back to official mode, whenever you get serious, I was Alex some minutes ago, right now I’m sir !!!” Alex said

“But that’s not the issue now please, I am here because of my debt and I have no where to go, I’m your secretary at work and more of a comforter at home, so why the pregnancy ?”.. I wanted him to clarify

Alex is so handsome and I now regret not dating him back then, but now he is my boss, at work and at home, he pays me $300 for keeping his company.

But I am drawn to him beyond that, I want him to be my man, I am so in love with him, so hearing him talk about pregnancy, I thought he should clarify, is he also in love with me or he is just defending in front of his mom

“Well, you are here and I couldn’t find anything else to qualify why?” He said looking away

“That fixes it already,” I thought because if he had claimed he loved me we would be on another page trying to unravel the incident but here now, he is telling me it’s just an excuse

All I can do right now is to defend my honor as he doesn’t love me so I bursted… “You thought lying about pregnancy is a qualification, I am here for the pay, I never said I’m in love with you. Also we’ve never even shared a night”.

“What have I done” I thought, I have said what I wanted negatively, Alex is smart he already caught on

He walks closer to me and held my arms, starred into my eyes and said “are you sure?….” I couldn’t say a word

I was stuck in his world, I am already seeing myself in his hands, everywhere, on the sofa, in the kitchen, I could see him dancing with my twin… What can I do to shake these off…Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Are you really sure that you are not in love with me? …..”

“Ermm… please…” He placed a finger on my lips and said “shhh, do not say a word, it’s my 3rd wish” I had no choice but to stay silent

Not because I don’t have a way of breaking lose, but I guess I’m loving where this is heading to

He looked at me with such beautiful eyes, my heart was pounding real hard, so much that I can hear it loud and clear

He planted a kiss on my lips, oh my goodness, that was the sweetest thing I’ve ever tasted, he then withdrew, but I held his head and gave him a deep kiss, I let open my lips a little so he could touch every part with his tongue

We soon heard a footstep coming closer and we went apart.

“What am i doing ? What am I doing?” I stutter as I left the room heading upstairs, to the room I was allocated.

“He now knows I love him, will he take advantage of me? Will he love me back? Is he also in love with me to begin with? Should I have taken it slow?” so many questions and thoughts were rushing through my mind.

“I reached out to my phone and met a message, bring a glass of water when coming” it reads ….. Oh yeah that’s fucking true, I won’t be sleeping in this room even if I will it’s after I’m assured that he is having a good sleep, oh my god, what have I done? How do I face him?
