Alec sighed as he gazed at the documents placed neatly on the table, he had to sign all those contracts before tomorrow morning.

A sigh escaped his lips, he studied the documents in his hands, his eyes clearly scanning the contents.

However, his eyes scanned at the CV that was placed on the table, he must have forgotten to give the lady back her CV.

He picked up the CV with curiosity, since he didn't get the chance to read it.

He scanned through the contents, and he could say that her educational level was quite high, she had a degree in business, and she would be quite beneficial to the company.

He stroked his chin, seeming to be in a deep thought, he was trying to analyze the benefits of employing.

And as if he had thought enough, he had already analyzed the benefits. He signed the CV.

He was quite impressed by her educational status, he needed her to work in his company.

However, her full name wasn't included in the document, her marital status, nor her age wasn't included, what could be wrong?

He placed a ring through the intercom to his assistant, in a minute, she knocked gently, after hearing a faint 'Come in' only then did she come in, her head glued to the ground.

"Sir, you called for me?" She asked him.

"Yes, send a confirmation email to the last lady that came for the interview," He gazed at the documents, not even glancing to look up at her.

She already knew his character, so she didn't need to probe further, she had learnt her lesson the other day.

"Okay sir, any more thing?" She asked him, staring down, she couldn't even dare to look up at him even for a second.

He gazed at her as if she was one stupid lady, "Is that a question?" His tone was laced with coldness, his gray eyes penetrating through hers.

She felt as though she had offended him, she shivered in fear, giving a simple bow, she wobbled her legs to the exit door.

He diverted his whole attention back to the piles of documents, focusing back on what he was doing.

The door of his office opened and a woman estimated to be around her late thirties.

She held her shoulders high, her blonde hair flowed freely according to the wind, the gown she wore complimented her well, the clinking of her high heels could be heard.

"Alec, how are you?" She sat down on the chair staring at him, her hands gazed over his table for a brief moment.

"I am fine," He sighed before focusing back on the documents, clearly showing her that he was not in the mood for chit-chats.

It was seen that their relationship had no more end, there was no closeness or whatsoever in their bond.

Alexis, his elder sister showed no sign of giving up, she needed to strive further, she had to accomplish coming here.

"Mother is requesting that you get married soon," She smiled at him, "I mean, you divorce Natasha years ago, why don't you want to move on?"

Snap. He was getting angry by their forceful demands, "First, you said that I should divorce Natasha on the pretense that you didn't like her? Now you want me to marry again? yeah, right." He focused back on what he was doing.

"Alec, listen to me now," She raised her voice at him.

He simply glanced at her without saying a word, she took it as a sign to continue whatever she was saying.

"I heard Haylee is back from abroad, when are you going to propose to her?" She asked him.

He never even bothered to even answer, just by hearing her name made him always angry, in simple words, he hated her or let's just say disliked her.

"I never planned on doing such," He raised his head to stare deadly at her.

She gulped down her fears, "Mother insists that you propose to her when she is back," She tried defending.

Snap. He banged the table in anger and gritted his teeth. "I have been doing everything for my mother, she said that I should divorce Natasha and that she doesn't fit into 'our' world," He paused.

"I did what mom wanted and now you guys want me to propose her?" He raised his eyebrows in a way it made him look fearful.

"Damn Alec, I am your elder sister for crying out loud, show me some respect." She gritted his teeth.

He had no time for any play right now, "Won't you pick up Emily and Henry from school?" He referred to his niece and nephews.

She understood what he meant clearly, he was indirectly asking her to leave.

She clutched her hand bag in anger as she stood up making an attempt to leave, she shot a deadly glance at him and left the room.

Alec chuckled, what did they take him for? a fool? yes, he always did whatever they told him to do.

He clicked his pen in anger, his eyes surveyed the room until it landed on a frame adjacent the room.

In the frame was Natasha smiling widely while he was just wearing a poker face, was it all worth it?

He missed her so much, even though it was now five years, he regretted not being a great husband.

How would she be doing now? would she be remarried now? Just the thought of him seeing her with another man made him feel jealous. His blood boiled in anger.

His phone on the table rang, and when he picked it up, it had 'Haylee' written on the caller ID.

With anger, he rejected the call and switched off his phone to prevent more calls.

A sigh escaped his lips as he got back to signing the documents.

hhmmm....what happened all those years ago, when he was married to Natasha? Was Haylee's pregnancy a ruse to trick him into divorcing Natasha? He needs to grow some balls and not allow himself to be bossed around by his mother and sister? Living for other people like that, tends to be disastrous.

  • Daddy Is A Rich CEO   Epilogue.

    One year later,Thanksgiving day.The room smelt like any other thanksgiving room, roasted turkey, cream, salad and a bunch of people sipping wine. The dinner was about to start, and soon everyone was going to be saying what they were thankful for.Zoey recounted, she didn't even know where to begin, just one year ago, her life had changed ever so much. Perfectly well, it had gone along.Dexter came into her life, Rafael stumbled in, and oh, she didn't know how, but they both loved her daughter so much, well. Zara better get used to having two overprotective fathers.Miranda, Stella and Zoey have become quite the inseparable trio, having tea on Mondays, hitting the gyms, and gossiping about their husbands.Presently, Zoey was sprawled on the bed, her hands swiping through her phone, just waiting for it to be ringing, finally it chimed. She swiped it up immediately."Stella!" She beams, cheeks pink. "How's the baby moon going? Is Mexico alright?"Stella's voice sounded so angelic from

    Two Months later."Zoey hurry! We don't want to be late for Sky's concert. Do we?" Stella yells from the bedroom, her gaze directed at the dressing room."Coming! Just trying to get the zipper on, damn, it's too hard!" Zoey yells back.Stella takes in a little giggle, and stares outside the room, the view is perfect, she could see the sun set even from here. She was having a giddy feeling today, but it didn't sum up her excitement.Today was Sky's first concert after his music block has been overcomed and he was singing his new song. People are flooding all over Los Angeles just to hear his voice, She, Zoey and the rest already got their tickets. She couldn't wait to see him sing after his music block. Excitement is washing over her. She can't wait.Zara enters the room, a smile on her face. "Aunt Stella!" She throws herself towards her."How was your night? Little Pumpkin?" Stella nudges her hair playfully, her hands moving to tickle her."It's fine." Zara scrunched her nose, before

    Even though one week had passed and everything seemed to be moving well, Zoey still felt this urge: sinking and swimming through her, prompting her to see her mother in jail, so that's why early in the morning, she got into her Sedan and drove towards the lane."What do you want?" The receptionist barked at her, her face gruff, prison was not a good place, no doubt. It smelt of stale coffee, the place looks rugged, like criminals had been jacked into this place, struggling to get inside."I want to see my mother." Zoey made to speak again, but the angry looking woman waved her off."Sorry. Kid." The woman puffed her cigar in between her hands, "But visiting hours are over, if you would please return later, I am sure you would be entertained with whoever you want to meet."The woman is really rude, no doubt, but Zoey doesn't want to leave without seeing her mother. Sometimes, your name is very important, and if using that name would get her what she wants. Then, why the heck not?She

    The whole room felt so small as Zoey ran past them, it was like oxygen was racking her spine as she counted the rooms. Her breath was short-lived, she could only pray under her breath."Zara!" She calls out, fear evident in her voice, the pain of losing her own daughter sends tears to her eyes. The hall was stretched out, too many rooms. The stairs looking back at her.She stopped at the living room, she could feel the throbbing in her head."Zara! Please come out. Please." She just stood there rooted, it was like the alarm was buzzing in her head: countdown, five, four..Sweat clanged the corner of her hair, she checked her father's study, it looked rather untouched. Her father's favorite novel, 'Rich man, poor man,' sat there elegantly on the table. Hope. It needled through her, then vanished into thin air. She called again, this time more loudly, perhaps her daughter might hear her. "Zara!" The room was eerily quiet.With lost hope, she just stood there, she would rather blow with

  • Daddy Is A Rich CEO   Chapter 94:

    The next day came rather too quickly, and like her mother used to say when she was young: You just have to face it.So, when she sprang up from the bed, she kissed Dexter on the forehead gently before heading downstairs. Rafael was by the counter making cereal for her daughter while balancing a cup of coffee on one hand."Ready for the big day, huh?" He hands her a cup, while gently pouring the milk into the bowl, Zara watches with her eyes fluttering."It's funny how you made it sound so casual." Zoey says casually, everything has been planned, they are all meeting up in her father's house. Nova, her husband, Alec and his wife, Stella and Sky. Miranda was going to meet them there.Zara shoves her spoon into the bowl, her mouth full of corn flakes. "Mother. Can I come with you? Pretty please?""Yes. Dexter and I will get the car ready, why don't Rafael pick out your dress, okay sweetheart?"She nods and focuses on her food, just by staring at her daughter makes her heart swell, the on

  • Daddy Is A Rich CEO   Chapter 93:

    In life, you could be either lucky or unlucky, but there's no such thing as luck or not luck, it's the chance we have, it's the choice we get that defines us, not our luck, that's why as Lin sat down, fiddling with the hemline of her gown, she recalled all the choices she had got to make, and one of them dealt with forgiving her husband, Asher.He was only being threatened, he just wanted to protect her. He loves her, that's why he wanted to protect, because for the person you love, you could go through extreme lengths just to make sure they were safe."Lin? Lin, are you listening to me?" Asher said, clutching the cup of coffee in one hand.She snapped out of her daydream, before staring around, waiting. What was he saying? She didn't even hear a thing."I was saying whether we should take the kids to Disneyland this year?" That was one thing she would always love about him, his ability to remember anything."But Mommy, we went to Disneyland last year!" Her seven year old daughter wai

    Stella had imagined countless things in her life, but here she was. Seating opposite her parents with Sky by her side, this time. She wasn't scared, hope brimmed in her chest, because with him she felt strong, she felt like somebody."You want to date him?" Her mother said, under those lashes of hers, her words held some kind of deep warning, "What about Doctor Rodriguez?"Her father dropped the spoon on the plate, the metallic sound filling their eyes. "Stella dear. You can't go out with him. He's not for-""I didn't come here for your approval." Her tone sent them all warning, Sky placed his hand on her shoulder, his gaze, a reassuring one. He turned towards her parents."I am Sky. Well, I dated your daughter, until you threatened me to leave her, I fell in love with her, again. I fell hard, I am still falling for her. She makes me, she completes me. I love her so much."Neither of them blinked."And I am sorry, but you can't stand in the way of our love," He breathed in, "She helpe

  • Daddy Is A Rich CEO   Chapter 91:

    Loud chattering filled the room, kids chasing each other, muttering words under their breath, some kids sprawled on the neat blue rug, playing with their toys.The kitchen linked to the living room, some adults were leaning against the island, each gripping a glass of wine. There's some muttering, no laughter here, just clear talking.Relax. Zoey's head throbbed, but she just couldn't. Dexter's hand was placed on hers, it was warm, at least that made her calm down a little, but still. She wanted to sprang up the seat, and protect those she loved, her mind reeled. To her mother's word, to Lin's words.Thankfully, Zara was talking to her cousin 'Damien', they seemed to be arguing though, but hey, it was her daughter."Everybody." Natasha clicked the glass, the whole room went silent. The kids stopped and turned to look at her, immediately she received the call, she didn't know what prompted her to call Natasha, Natasha was soothing on the other end, and they agreed to call a meeting.Li
