"Jeff I'm sorry for hurting you. I should never have treated you this way. Please forgive me", I said with a sigh."I don't want to talk about it. I'm sure that you have married him under duress. We can file for a divorce", he said."I can't do that", I said in a quiet voice."Why not?", he asked annoyed at me."Because he will ruin us financially. My father is in the hospital. He can't take all the pressure. He had threatened to sue us and also take our company", I said."So what if he takes that company. It was never yours any way. Your father was going to give it your sister", he said. "I know. I'm doing it so that everything falls into place. I know how important the company is", I said. "" More important than you? ", he asked. " Without the company we will be on road", I said. I know that Heidi had no plans for getting a job anywhere and it was impossible without a degree. The company is her back up plan. She had been neglecting it because she thought to marry Dane there by eli
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 12 Dessert
I walked to my room easily this time without any help from Fathima. The house had started to like me. It had stopped intimidating me unlike it's master. I have come to love each and every nook and corner of this house. When I stepped into my room I was dumbstruck Dane was sitting there his hand loosely held my hair clip which I had decided to not wear last minute. I took a quick inventory of my room. I left it in a hurry but I hadn't made it messy. I was about to make a noise to catch his attention but he glanced at me. I thought for a second he didn't like the fact that I had returned. But that was not the staff told me. I could have completely avoided this if Fathima gave me a hint that he was waiting for me."You are back", he said his eyes betrayed his relief in seeing me. I'm sure he wanted to save his reputation which would be shattered had I left him."I didn't realise that I was supposed to be a prisoner here", I said."You are not a prisoner but you are my wife and I should kn
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 13 Lunch
This could be a recipe for disaster that is all I care to think about the impromptu lunch invite given to me by my husband last night. I had worn a dress this time of my size. I checked to see all the dresses of my sister's size had been replaced by mine. There had been a shift in the mould of dresses too. From being too bold they had toned down to mediocre but not at all boring. The point is I loved it every one of them. Even though I hated the idea of a stylist I could never achieve half of what she had done to my wardrobe today. I haven't even mentioned the fact the dresses where too short for me. But he had somehow guessed it. I never thought men could give attention to details. The one time I went out with Jeff he had forgotten the fact that I had peanut allergy and ordered me a peanut cake. Thankfully I had sense to ask him saved by the bell what else can I say? Thinking of Jeff had filled me with guilt not of our breakup but not feeling anything particularly. I used to judge He
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 14 Office
He left immediately for his office after leaving me at my home. I wanted to ask him about joining back office too. But hadn't gotten the courage to do so. I know he will either allow it or deny, there was no need for stalling anymore I should ask him. I decided to do it today . I may even keep my hair untied just so he agree with me. I wonder how my father was? I wanted to know but I didn't want to call Ella again. So I rang the hospital they said he was discharged. I was relieved immediately. I wanted to see him but I didn't know how? I can't just go back. Ella had warned me to leave them alone. But how can I not see my father? He is everything to me.I hated sitting at my room alone. So I went to the kitchen and saw Fathima cooking. I immediately went towards her. She was pleased to see me. There are only two of us in home right now. There are securities outside but they rarely came inside. I helped her by shaving potatoes and she smiled at my actions."Where are you from?", I asked
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 15 The namesake
"What?", I almost shouted on surprise."I said you are fired", he said with a smirk."I heard you. You have no right to fire me. I want to know on what grounds you are firing me?", I asked him confidently."Only one reason I can't have my wife working in a low level job in my own company", he said this time there was no smirk."Fine it is your company after all. I will find a work in any other company", I said confidently. I know I have a valuable experience from Wellington Inc. I can find another job just as easily."Good luck to you if anyone hires you knowing I'm your husband. They will think of you as a corporate spy", he said."Why did you have to come to my life and ruin everything?", I said sadly."Don't be dramatic. Why you want to work anyways? I'm giving you credit card and shit", he said exasperated."Because a job is important to me. What if you leave me tomorrow? I have to be independent", I said."You won't be wanting money when and if I divorce you. You will be taken car
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 16 Dream
I was stunned. I felt my face getting hotter. I'm not ashamed of talking to Jeff. We are not doing anything wrong but his stare was making me feel worse. He had no right to act like a cheated husband being married for twenty years."You there Ziva?", asked Jeff. I opened my mouth but no words came out."Please say yes", he pleaded again."No we can't remain friends. I'm sorry goodbye Jeff", I said ending the call. I wasn't scared of Dane. I only did what I felt was right."Being friends is an excellent idea", he said while corner of his mouth twisted. My stomach got knotted I didn't want to fight him. I'm too tired."No I won't be keeping in touch with him", I said."Except when you meet him in secret", he jeered at me."I didn't know he was there", I clarified."Are you lying to me Ziva? Because it sounded like you lie a lot these days. I had asked you to block him didn't I? But you didn't do that too am I right? You want two men. That is too much greed even for you", he said with a s
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 17 Manipulation
I'm dressed to impress the illustrious Dane Wellington. I hope things work out according to my plan. He greeted me with a lazy gaze at my form. I self consciously tugged my dress down. I knew it wasn't any thing indecent but it is still a far cry from my regular wardrobe."Looking as beautiful as ever", he said raising my hands and placed a kiss on it. I stiffened, his lips were always distracting me. Even if they were on my hands I felt as though it was touching me intimately I controlled the shiver that was erupting from me."Let us go", he said without leaving my hand. I let him. It was very important for him to warm upto me for this to work.I looked at his car absently. It was so fine that I worried I will get it dirty."You have a lot of cars", I observed when he sat at the driving seat."Yes. It is a hobby", he said looking at the road. He chose to drive tonight maybe he wants to drive the new car for himself for a change."Thanks for taking me out", I said.He looked at me qui

I knew there will be some form of intimacy and to my surprise I don't dread it. But I won't stay on a loveless marriage. I'm hundred percent sure.
