Mr. CEO and His Secretary

RayaThe kicks were reoccurring, the force hitting my face and pelvis as I tried to cover my stomach and the man I thought had loved me kept using me as a punching bag."I'm going to punch this baby out of you, you useless bitch. You've been sleeping around, haven't you? That's why you don't have the decency to take the baby to its real father. You thought I would just accept the bastard from you!""It's yours William, I'm not...""You stupid bitch! You're still going to keep up with that claim, right?!" I felt my resolve letting go as he kept on punching me and slapping me and I felt my eyes widen when I saw a trail of blood flowing from where I laid down the carpeted floor."Bitch! You stupid bitch!"No, no, no, I couldn't lose the baby. Not the baby.I chanted faintly as the blood kept on flowing from my thighs and I looked up at the face of my boyfriend, who was unrecognizable at that moment. It was like his whole face had morphed into some kind of monstrous being that was out to

MaxwellI walked into the office of the chairman that morning as I fastened up the buttons of the new shirt Silas had gotten me. He was the personal secretary to my dad and had gone immediately to get me a new shirt when he saw the state I was in.My father turned around just as Silas walked in behind me, and he placed a document before leaving, "Thank you", my dad said after him."You could have just told me to come to the family dinner..." I said as a complaint and he ignored it."That you know you wouldn't attend."I shrugged, "well, why am I here?" "To choose the direction in which your future will go from now. I think you've sulked well enough. It's time to do something with your life""Like what?""Taking over one of the subsidiaries""But I'm not interested.""Maxwell!" He sighed, exasperated "It's been two years since they announced their relationship, don't you think that's enough time to sulk? I won't take your nonsense anymore. It's either you take over a subsidiary or lea

RayaI stared dumbfounded at my new boss who was dressed in a white dress shirt and pants and had his hair slicked back at the end but ruffled at the front. It gave him this boyish look, though that was not the problem. My boss was none other than the a**hole who had poured coffee on me yesterday, and he had this sick smirk on his face."What?" I managed to ask after regaining my sense of speech."Your shirt..." he pointed to it, "...it gave quite the display yesterday."I scoffed, "which you caused. How could you have poured the coffee on me when mine had been a mistake?""Whatever. It's in the past now."I tried to reign in my anger, which wasn't really working, due to his smug face."Don't tell me that you're the one who sent that message yesterday.""Which message?""The one telling me to come to a particular address by 7 am""Oh, that. It was a mistake due to my drunkenness, but that doesn't excuse your tardiness either. Why are you late?""I-I'm sorry about that". I couldn't bea

Raya"How could you have forgotten that you were going to start your period today?" Kendall asked mortified as I sat by the kitchen island in her apartment, sighing repeatedly as I thought about the horrifying moment that had happened earlier today at the office."I know right? I guess I must have been stressed by the transfer and everything.""Still, that doesn't deny the fact that you had a total breakdown, in front of your boss, and outside. You said you were getting better.""And I was.""That's why you should have continued with the therapy.""It was expensive.""Still..." She sighed and went to the fridge to get a can of beer."You want some?" She asked and I shook my head."I think that was part of what contributed to me forgetting my period this morning.""Right" she nodded, "We did drink the other night and I should stop drinking so much." She dropped the beer and got herself a glass of water."Well, what are you going to do now?" She asked, settling on a stool beside me."I

MaxwellI stared at the lady that came to my side looking all stunning in the silver-colored maxi dress that she wore, and she had this innocent look on her face which I had fallen for back in my college days."Diane..."She wrapped her arms around mine happily as she stared up at me, "What are you doing here?""I..." I wasn't sure how to feel about her doing this when she had literally broken my heart two years ago."Diane." I turned to see my brother walk towards us in the department store where we had come to see the sales, and he looked quite livid."Michael," I said in greeting, while Diane removed her arm from mine, and he drew her to his side."What are you doing here?" My beloved brother asked."I'm in charge of the fashion subsidiary in case you've forgotten"He scoffed, "So you're actually going to go through with it...""Of course, and I plan to beat you. Taking over a conglomerate can't be so hard."He scowled at me, fisting his hands as if to fight me, but Diane held him
