STONE HEARTED C.E.O 1 Pushover
I nervously tug at the beautiful dress that I was wearing. It gave me Cinderella vibes. It was the first time I wore anything pretty and put on some real make-up. I never got the point of dressing up for high school when what should we be doing was studying hard. My step-sister Heidi will never agree with me since she would rather lather up her face for hours than study for a few minutes. I was tall for a girl and I sometimes towered over short boys. But Heidi on the other hand was a curvy type. My best friend Charlie once referred to Heidi as Kim Kardashian and me as Zendaya. Though Kim has a big booty it's Zendaya one would call cute. Zendaya is much cuter than me and looked nothing like plain looking me. The only common thing between us was we shared African heritage from my mom's side but my dad was white. I don't remember my mom much I was a small child when she died. My father married Ella a few months later. He said it was to look after me. But it was me who looked after my da
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 2 Breaking the news
I stood in the cramped room with my stepmother who was trying to show some emotions on her Botox face but she couldn't. "Who will break the news to Mr Wellington?", said my dad nervously. I felt bad for him. I knew he liked to have Mr Wellington to be his son-in-law. Damn her for putting us through all this. " I will tell him", I said wanting to ease his distress. "You will tell him in front of everyone? You are a stupid girl. Bring him here we will tell him ourselves. He may even agree to postpone the wedding Heidi said she will return soon", said my stepmother. I sighed she might be drunk or high. There was no way he will agree to marry Heidi again. I walked towards the room where the groom was getting ready. I gently knocked on the door. I heard a faint come in. I saw him working on a laptop he looks ready but this wasn't how one spends his wedding day. Doesn't he ever get nervous if I was him I would be before the mirror giving myself a pep talk. " You want something?", he ra
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 3. Wedding
I walked towards the crowd my knees were practically knocking together. I was never a crowd person. I always dreamt about my wedding. I used to always see myself wearing pretty gowns and walking towards the love of my life with a smile. But that day is today except I'm getting married to the love of my sister's life. It was she who should have been in my place I had no idea what had forced her to take off. But seeing the face of my future husband was giving me some ideas. He is not ugly don't mistake me. He is a very handsome man. He can go to a Vogue photo shoot and land himself a modelling gig if he wanted. But he won't because his worth is much more than vogue. He rarely graces any interviews no one knows about him much. He was adopted and his adoptive family was poor too. Whatever he had become it was by his blood and sweat. His adoptive parents are here by the way but I have no complaints against them. They are the sweetest in-laws that Heidi could ask for. But I once heard that
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 4 Best Man
I knew that I had fallen further into his eyes. He might have hated my sister but it won't be anything compared to how he feels about me. It is not every day the groom gets jilted. It had happened to him once and the second time he was on that verge. It is not something that will be easily forgiven. People are far more curious as to what must have caused the younger sister to run away. If I had run like her too then his reputation would have been in tatters. I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. I have managed to save my family but landed myself in deep shit. He hadn't looked at me for a long time. He tries to ignore the fact that he has a bride next to him most of the time. "Hey smile", said the photographer to me. He didn't say the same to Dane because he must look dashing even if he scowls. I passed a smile on my face. But it looked as though I was being forced to do it. The photographer didn't care though he clicked away the pictures just as happy as I was sad. I missed my
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 5 Possession
I had a peaceful and quiet life except for some of Heidi's meltdowns. I remember once she denied that I shouldn't get to celebrate my birthday since it is a week before hers. She was afraid that I will steal her thunder. I didn't care. I was never one for crowded parties. I celebrated them quietly with Charlie and Jeff. Jeff thinking about him is slicing my heart into two. He will know the truth soon. I had no explanation to give him. He loved me so much and I dreamt of being his wife. I had never asked for anything but a small family for me and Jeff. "It is time for the wedding feast", said Tom my father-in-law. I walked with them. I noticed that Dane was not there. I wondered where he had gone. He was kind of concerned about appearances and he was missing the biggest one. "Emm where is Dane?", I asked curiously. "You know how he is. He is taking some calls probably from his office. You have to regulate him dear. He does not care about his health at all. He is always working", said
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 6 Goodbye
We kept our fighting to the bare minimum after that. Maybe that was because we were never left alone. His parents and Jake were always with us. We could hardly fight before them. It was a win-win situation for me because without them I would have hit my husband or worse I would have fallen apart. Both of them could cause everyone deep embarrassment. Well not everyone my husband would hardly feel anything. He was ice cold, Stone-hearted there is nothing that could melt him. My sister had dodged a bullet. He didn't care for her not even an iota of what she must have felt for her. So it is good for her that she decided a bad gown must have stopped her from making a permanent bad decision. "Tell your goodbyes", said Dane. I flicked a glance at him. I refused to be intimidated by this cold monster. "I have no one here to say goodbye to", I said. It was the truth. These people are strangers to me. They are all Heidi's friends and relatives. None of them had been kind to me. They all resent
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 7 New home
Home is not what I would call his place. It is big and beautiful. It is grand like a palace. I wanted to hate the place so bad. But it's beauty is be witching me."Breathtaking isn't it?", asked him as if echoing my thoughts."It is OK", I admitted with a grudge."Atleast you won't have a complaint about the place you are about to live", he pointed out cheerfully."This is not my home", I said."Then you better start change your mind", he replied with a shrug.I wanted to answer him. I wanted to scathe him with my words. But I couldn't think of anything to say to that. The reality is that I had lost my home. Going back to the place was not even an option for me anymore. I will be thrown out of my ear by Ella. Not to mention it will be the breach of the contract I signed with my husband. I still remember with clarity how I signed the agreement before marriage. It was like signing a divorce paper even before getting married. I will not fully cooperate with him. No matter what he says. B
STONE HEARTED C.E.O 8 Closure
"Hi Babe", said Jeff. Instead of being yelled at Jeff was sounding too happy. This put me in another dilemma. I'm the one who is breaking this news to him. I'm going to hurt sweet Jeff as mocked by Heidi. He is not just sweet warm, considerate man which her fiance never was. Even if her fiance had become my husband."You there Babe. I was going to call. The meeting went well. I got the loan. How was the wedding? Sorry I missed it", said Jeff."Tell me something. Are you angry at me for missing it? But you said it was fine", he hesitated."No I'm not angry. Though I wish I missed it too", I said."Oh baby. I understand you don't have to stay there anymore. I had already talked to a realtor we can move into our dream home but you have to give me the garage for start up", he said merrily."I left my home," I said trying control the shiver in my voice."Ziva are you OK? What happened?", he asked concerned."Heidi ran away from wedding. I had to stand in for her. I had no choice. I'm sorry
