Chapter 9 : The Dinner Part 2My billionaire CEO would never like a broke Texas girl like me.I cried an ocean as I put the groceries in the pantry and the fridge. I really wished Aysha was here, she would make me feel much better. But I didn't want to call and get her worried, I would tell her when we got home.I decided to cheer myself up with my nighttime skincare routine. The dinner was tomorrow night and I didn't want to look puffy. I fell asleep quickly as I awaited what the next day had for me.Lewis' POV I brought what I could find at the nearest supermarket home. I hoped Victoria could manage these. No store was open that night and I had to improvise and visit the only store available.I got minimal things like bread, eggs, seasonings, rice, ramen, pasta and proteins. Victoria loved pasta and ramen so I made sure to get more of that. She would always eat them at the company cafeteria, so I guessed they were her favourite foods. She helped me with the groceries and placed t
Chapter 10 : The Confession Part 1Chapter 10 : The Confession Victoria's POVWe got out of the car and were welcomed by the Japanese boss who guided us to the main entrance.Lewis and I had now intertwined our arms as I was his 'date' now and not his secretary.We exchanged greetings with other guests as we enjoyed the event, then I excused myself to get a drink from the drink table.I was about to leave when a man stopped me."Hey beautiful, haven't seen you around", the man said.He was Japanese and reeked of alcohol."Do you want to come with me to my hotel room baby?""I can show you my katana", He said while smirking and lusting over my body.Before I could say a word, Lewis came over to us and spoke."And why should my wife follow you?" "She already has a katana of her own if you don't mind."The Japanese man looked at us in shock as Lewis put his arm around my waist and he walked away in shame.After he was out of sight, Lewis dropped his hand from my waist."You didn't have
Chapter 10 : The Confession Part 2I stopped the kiss and both of us were panting and trying to catch our breaths. I looked at him and he smiled at me and gave me one last kiss before putting me down."I'll get the broom", he said while gesturing to the glass mess he made.I turned my attention to his bleeding hand and told him that we should treat it first before it got infected. Luckily, I worked as a paramedic at a part time job so I knew how to treat these kinds of wounds. I searched for the first aid box that I saw yesterday while arranging the kitchen.I sat him down and disinfected his wounds. There were no glass shards inside his palm so that was a relief. I used a bandage to cover up the wound and told him not to worry about cleaning the mess. I cleaned up the kitchen, making sure that there was no bit of glass left and turned to him.He looked at me and laughed."What's funny?", I asked."You have blood on your dress and face", he said pointing to my face and then to my
Chapter 11 : The PeriodVictoria's POVThere was no way I just got my period on our first night together. I wasn't expecting it until we got back home, which was why I didn't bother to carry my sanitary purse. What was I going to do?I couldn't possibly tell Lewis that I got my period.We just started dating and I felt way too embarrassed to tell him.Luckily I hadn't stained the bed, so I quickly tiptoed to the bathroom and locked the door.I proceeded to remove my PJs and put my bloody underwear and PJ's into the washing machine and turned it on.I sat on the toilet naked, free bleeding as I had nothing to use.The sound of the washing machine must have woken Lewis up because I heard his voice through the door"Vic is that you?", he asked from the bedroom."Yes, I'm just doing my laundry", I replied."Okay, well I need to go shopping for more groceries, would you like to come with me?", he asked.What was I gonna say?I couldn't go out in this condition, I thought to myself, and my
Chapter 12 : The ReturnLewis' POV I watched as my love slept peacefully beside me. She was in so much pain earlier and it was hurting me to see her in pain. I didn't know that periods could be this painful. My mum did mention that it was different for all women so I figured that the pain would differ to. I couldn't believe she thought she was ugly, I didn't even notice the acne on her face until she pointed it out. She always looked beautiful no matter what and I didn't care if she had makeup on or not. The movie ended and I turned off the TV to not interrupt my queen's sleep. She moved in her sleep and snuggled closer to me. I couldn't help but admire her as she slept. I slowly got out of the covers and left her sleeping to checkup on my laptop on the dining table. Kaden sent me a text earlier regarding some important files that I needed to analyse so I went to do just that. I put on my digital glasses and began working.I was 20 minutes into my work when I noticed that Vic was
Chapter 13 : The Ex Girlfriend6 Months LaterVictoria's POV My office romance with Lewis had been great so far.No one suspected a thing as we were always careful.During intermission, we would usually meet in his office and make out or he would hold my hand while we were in the elevator, and he would wink at me anytime I was present in his meetings.We were deeply in love now and I got to know more about him and the kind of past he had. He told me about the only woman he loved, and how she treated him. I would never have thought that a man like him would have his heart broken. If I ever saw his ex, I would be sure to make her regret leaving such a kind man.He introduced me to his parents a week ago. I was super nervous because they were people of high class and I wanted to be on my best behaviour. Lewis was always by my side and he made me feel calm as we met his parents.Mr and Mrs Mark were a lovely couple and they were really nice. His older brother Lucas was almost really nic
Chapter 14 : The Love Triangle Kaden's POV FLASHBACK.Ever since Lewis came back from his business trip with Victoria, he behaved differently.He seemed rather..changed. He wasn't as picky anymore and was nicer than before.I suspected that Vic had something to do with this because he would always smile whenever she was around. I hated this as I had developed feelings for her too. I thought what I felt was just attraction, but it had grown bigger than that. I wasn't the commitment type but I found myself wanting to be with her. I remember how she blushed when I called her Vic for the first time, that was when I started falling for her. I stopped sleeping around with girls and decided to change. I wanted to change for Victoria. I was ready to quit my playboy antics and confess to her. She must have felt the same because of how she always looked at me warmly. I was going to confess to her when she got back from her trip, but I wasn't able to because I noticed that Lewis had started
Chapter 15 : The BullyStephanie's POVLuckily it went through and as expected, Hunter&Sons ssucceeded and many companies invested in them after the merger. This made Mark&Co reduce in stock price and their companies was declining a lot.I couldn't bring myself to see Lewis so I left without a word and moved in with Mason. He invited me to the company dinner, saying that I was a blessing that came to him.At the company dinner, he introduced me as his girlfriend to everyone. This news made a pretty good headline and everyone now knew me as the girlfriend of Hunter&Sons CEO.A few days later, I went to my old house to get some of my old stuff. I didn't pack much because Mason had practically changed everything I was using and wearing."You only deserve the best", he would say to me.I had just finished packing when I heard the doorbell ring. To my surprise, it was Lewis at the door and he came storming into the house."It was you all along?""You leaked the papers?""How could you Ste
