CHAPTER FIFTEEN
"Josh you can excuse us"
"Thank you Mr. Ace" He exists the office and I get up from my chair and walk closer to Seven with a smile plastered on my face. He isn't smiling though.
"What a pleasant surprise, you are welcome to Heritage Empire" I say extending my hand for a handshake not even expecting him to accept it but surprisingly, he does and we both shake hands. "Nice to meet you again after all these years"
"I can't say the same for you" He says with a frown and I just keep smiling.
"Still cool, please make yourself comfortable" I say gesturing him to take a seat on any of the sofas.
"That won't be necessary, this is going to be a brief talk"
"Alright then" I say as I make myself comfortable on the nearest sofa and carefully cross my right leg over the left. "So what brings you here?"
"The fact that you cheated on my cousin with my girlfriend. What exactly does that make you?"
"First, you have no idea how all this happened

CEO'S DILEMMA CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Once I get into Luna’s ward, I find her sleeping on the bed with Asher seated by her side. For some reason I’m relieved that she doesn’t have weird tubes connected to her body. I just pray she is alright.“Asher” I call and he looks up at me.“You’re here”“Yeah, what happened?” I ask panicking.“I found her lying unconscious in her bathroom when I went to check on her, she must have tripped”“Is she alright?... I mean, did she sustain any injuries?”“None, but I have requested for an ultrasound to be done we can know how the baby is doing”“Has it been done already?” I ask eager.“No, that’s why I called. You are the one who’s supposed to be here with her to carry out the ultrasound. It’s your baby after all” He explains and I go mute. I’m amazed. Asher is indeed a gentleman.&l

I had come and see her”“Oh…okay, so how is she?”“She is alright, everything is cool”“Good then.

CEO'S DILEMMA CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
SOPHIA’S POVI’m still trying to process the fact that Ace hung up on me. He has never done that before. I totally dislike the turn things seem to be taking these days and I despise that Luna of a girl. Of all the men in the world, she just had to get pregnant for my fiancé, of all the guys who were present at that reunion party, she just had to have sex with my fiancé and now she is carrying his child. The situation is so annoying that I don’t think I will refrain myself from choking her if I ever get to set eyes on her. I will choke her to death or better still hit her tummy so hard that she has a miscarriage.Yeah, think of me as evil, I don’t care. Maybe if you were in my shoes, you will understand what I am going through. Ace promised that nothing was going to change between us, that he only wanted to be there for his child but the way things are unfolding, that’s not what is going to happen. He is already getting too at
CEO'S DILEMMA CHAPTER NINETEEN
LUNA’S POV“So when are you moving in with Kyle?” Ace asks as we walk to the door. We just arrived at my house and I feel very bloated. He made sure I finished my dinner and drank a good amount of water. I’m sure I have gained about five extra pounds today.“Anytime he returns from his business trip”“Are you sure you’ll be fine living all alone?”“Yes Ace, I will be just fine”“Alright then, but I still have one favor to ask”“And what could that be?”“Allow me to stay and tuck you in bed”“No Ace, I can’t accept that. I’m sorry”“Please Luna, I’m not going to spend the night, I just want to have you fall asleep in my arms. That’s all.” He pleads and I just shake my head.“Ace this wrong, you have ignored Sophia all day, don’t you think it’s time for you to go see her?”“Luna I know that okay, but I have my way of handling things. Leave Sophia to me. Please just let me spend some quality time with you”
CEO'S DILEMMA CHAPTER TWENTY
MRS. COLE’S POVI have never and till now, still not understood men. The slightest things completely draw their attention. Way back in high school I used to date a guy named Bernard Angelis who happens to be Luna’s father now. We used to be so much in love until Luna’s mother, Diana Ross showed up. I lost Angelis to Diana within the twinkle of an eye and till today they are still happily married.Angelis and I had gone quite a long way in our relationship but when Diana came, he forgot all what we had shared and decided to be with her. He dumped me for her and now their daughter is pregnant for my son. She is trying to snatch my son away from his fiancé, Sophia just the way her mother snatched her father from me.That is not going to happen on my watch. First, I love Sophia very much. I have watched that young woman metamorphose from a new born to a toddler, a teenager and now an adult. I know her flaws and perfections and I love her all
CEO'S DILEMMA CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
LUNA’S POV.I decided to show up at work today and I have sworn never to absent from work the way I did these past days. I’ve been working since morning, preparing financial records and audits. Right now my head is just cramped and heavy. I’m tired and hungry and above all sleepy. I’m going to go home immediately when I’m done with what I am doing. I will do the rest of the work at home.My office door opens and l my breath seizes when I see my mum walk in. She is the last person I want to see right now. I have been avoiding her calls and refusing to go home for visits because I don’t want her insisting to know who is responsible for my pregnancy. She is going to scold me severely if she finds out that Ace is the one responsible for it.“Seriously Luna?, A one night stand with an engaged man?!”BAAM!Mum asks furiously as she throws her handbag on the couch and stands akimbo waiting for me to say some
CEO'S DILEMMA CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
The bond in marriage is indeed an extraordinary type of bond. Kyle and I are seated in the living room at our parents house right now, receiving the scolding of our lives from our father all thanks to mum. She did not hesitate to fill him in on the latest developments about my pregnancy and now my father is raging like a wild dog. He keeps pacing about and I’m just very nervous right now.“Kyle you had one job, to make sure your sister wasn’t doing anything outrageous and you failed. You have disappointed me, both of you!” he spits out angry and I look at my brother sadly. I feel so bad for dragging him into this. He has been tried his best to be overprotective of me, I am the only one to be blamed for this mess.“Dad you…”“Not now Luna!” He cuts me off with a roar and I tremble in fear. Kyle scoots closer to me and takes me into his arms. I just feel like bursting into tears right now.“Angeli
CEO'S DILEMMA CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
“Stay where you are!” Ace warns.“I can’t, I just can’t okay. I want to rip this bitch apart. She is ruining everything for us. This whole issue is now on social media, do you know how messed up this?. This is a scandal!” She screams in frustration and to be frank, I feel her pain. I would react the same way if I were in her shoes.“Sophia you need to calm down, no one meant for this to happen okay. This is not Luna’s fault” Ace defends.“Yes, it is. One night stands do happen but she just had to get pregnant and now look at where it has gotten us” She scolds yet again and I suddenly feel a sharp pain in my head and my legs grow weak, before I know it, I’m falling but before I can reach the grown I am supported by Ace’s strong arms.“Are you alright?” He asks concerned.“I think I have a headache”“Should we go see a doctor?”
