The C.E.O.'s Secret Chapter 24
The aroma of fish that my mother cooked swirls in my nose. Ugh! I missed this. "Sorry about our dish, iho. I know you're not used to eating this but we can't find any meat right now, the meat was so rare that no one would sell it here in our barangay," mother said. Dried fish, sardines, and fried eggplant were our dishes today. I don't know why our viand was like this. There was hidden meat, large fish, crab, shrimp, chicken, and bacon in the refrigerator. It just happened to be in our store. My forehead was frowning but when I saw dad's smile at him, I knew why. This is probably a trial for Gio. I just laughed at him. "I-it's okay. I can't be picky about what to eat," Gio exclaimed. Mom was happy as well as my father."Oh hey, let's eat. Let's pray first. Scarlet, you lead the prayer," mother ordered and I nodded. Gio curled up next to me and frowned when he was looking at the dried fish. I just shook my head and started to pray. "In the name of the father, son, and the holy spir

He was looking at my room's wall in amazement. The wall was full of medals that I got from preschool to college. "Wow, you have so many medals," he exclaimed. I smiled at what he said. "Yup, that's from preschool to college." "My honey has a witty brain," he said. I felt that he hugged me and I hugged him back. "I miss you," he whispered. "I miss you, too." He smiled sweetly and his ear was so red. "Hm, you already entered my room, then you can sleep now. I know you're drunk," I told him but he just shook his head. "I want to stay here," he said softly. "You can't, Mom and Dad might see us here..." "Hmm. I want to be with you. I'll leave your room right away early in the morning." My eyes widened looking at him. "You can't, honey." "Honey. Please. Pretty please." He was like a child begging me. I just took a deep breath. "Alright, let's just set an alarm clock, just to be sure." "Yes! Thank you, honey." I was startled when he suddenly kissed me softly. I was not ready so

After he chopped the wood, we fetched some water. I'm the one who filled the pail and he's the one who lifted the bucket. I tried to lift a small bucket but he snatched it from me. "No, Honey. Don't lift this," Gio said but I was too stubborn. "I can carry it myself, the bucket was just small," I answered. "No—" He didn't finish what he was going to say when I let go of my bucket and slipped away. I screamed in fear and panic. I was ready to feel the pain of slipping, but instead of falling on the floor, I felt a strong arm on my body. His hand was on my waist, hugging it tightly. Suddenly, my heart beat fast due to the closeness of our faces. He was staring at me and I was staring at him in shock. His sweet smile flashed and I blinked many times. "Th-Thank you!" "I told you, no need to lift the small bucket. You're stubborn, Honey," he said seriously and picked up the bucket on the floor. He filled it with water and left me, not even paying attention to me. What is his proble

After we finished eating, we decided to go for a walk on the beach because it was so close to our house. While we were walking, a lot of girls kept on looking at us. I immediately frowned because of that. What if I gouge out their eyes? "Relax, Honey. I know what's on your mind," he laughed and grabbed my waist. Everyone gasped at what they see so I smirked. “Oh! I told you, that's Scarlet's boyfriend!" I heard someone whisper. “Gosh! They will be going to break up soon. Try me! Guys like that won't take us seriously because we're from the province!" I winced when I heard it. "Don't mind them, I won't leave you. I'm serious about you, that's why I came here," Gio said. "Idiot! Look, he even came here just to meet Scarlet's family, he really loves her!" I heard one shout. “Right!” Gio swore. I just laughed at him. He's right, I must ignore what others saying. "Hi, Scarlet!" I saw Sharmaine looking at us, one of my childhood friends. I swallowed the lump in my throat when I saw h

"'Mom, we were going to the park, we were going to dance there. Is it okay?” I said to Mom. "No problem, my daughter. Just be careful.” I smiled at Gio, said "yes" to him and we appeared our hands secretly. Mom was very strict, especially when there was a full-fledged dance in the park like this. She said that maybe something bad might happened to us, she'll be worried. It was a miracle and she agreed. "It's a good thing mom agreed," I said. "Well, of course. Your boyfriend is handsome, ayt?" he answered and pulled away from me. “Yeah, right!!” I snorted. "It's true, come on, the party has already started." He pulled me away. "Mom, we're leaving!" he shouted at my mother. "Alright, be careful!" “Yes, mom!” We walked a few minutes to the park. It's a bit far from our house but it's walkable. When we got close I heard the sound system and people screaming. I see someone dancing too, they are having so much fun. I saw Nico and Sharmaine together. Nico's face was frown

When we got home, mom, dad and my sisters were obviously asleep. Mom's shop was closed and the lights inside the house were off. We entered the house slowly so as not to disturb my family. When we were free to enter and no more noise was created, we breathed a sigh of relief. Gio was a bit drunk so he staggered to my room. I suddenly stopped him. "You can't sleep here," I said to him. "I want to be next to you, I can't sleep on the sofa," he answered with a sneer. I held my breath. "You can sleep here but you have to get up at dawn?" I asked. "Yes," he answered. We entered my room together. I changed my sleeping bag, it was dark so I didn't want to undress in front of him. After I finished changing, I immediately went to my bed. He was lying down and it's staring at me. I couldn't stop smiling because of the looks he was giving me. "Why?" I asked him. "Nothing, even though it's dark, your beauty dominates at night," he said. I smiled widely. "Don't fool me, let's go to s

"Mom and dad, we're going now," Gio said to my family and waved at them. We were going to the city because we have a job there. "Alright, son, be careful when driving," answered my mother. "Auntie, don't worry, we'll take care of Scarlet," Aira said to them. "Thank you very much for visiting us. We were very happy, especially Patpat.” Patpat suddenly burst into tears. I am currently carrying her."Sister, I will miss you!" she exclaimed while crying and hugged me tightly. "I'll miss you too Patpat, don't worry sister will come back her again. I will buy you a lot of chocolates when I came back. Do you want that?” I asked. She nodded, the redness and swelling of her eyes was so obvious. "Yes," she replied. "So don't cry anymore, look at Aunt Aira, she will turn into monster if you cry," I said while laughing. Aira frowned as she looked at me. Even Tom and Gio were laughing too. Patpat was afraid of Aira, because sometimes she scolded her for being naughty. “Mom!” Patpat yelled a

I woke up at the fragrance that stung on my nose. It smells so good, my stomach boils, signaling that it's hungry. My body hurts so much because Gio didn't stop me last night. We finished at three o'clock. I suddenly smiled when he repeatedly said he loved me. I can't help but shudder as I remember that hot and steamy night. "Good morning, honey!" I turned my gaze to the topless man in front of me. He was very handsome, his hair was messy and his sweat was obvious dripping down to his stomach. My boyfriend was really yummy. I stopped thinking when I remembered that I hadn't answered him yet. I was waiting for him to ask a question, but I couldn't help it either, so now I'm excited to answer him. He came with a tray. "Good morning too, honey." "Breakfast in bed," he said with a smile. He placed the tray at my legs. I sat down and hugged him tightly. "Thankyou honey. You're so sweet," I smiled and immediately kissed him on the cheek. I looked at the foods , there were hotdogs, pa
