TOO LATE TO WANT ME BACK, MR CEO CHAPTER 49
DamienThe way Aurora stood up and walked out of the room said a lot of things. I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me that Aurora was avoiding me.And to be candid, she had every right to do what she did.I thought I was over this, but no. Another situation had presented itself, and I had acted foolishly. Again.I mulled over Leila’s words last night so long that I couldn’t sleep.And in every sense of it, she was right.I may have an internal rule for not laying hand on ladies, but Genevieve definitely crossed a line.And she wasn’t just any lady. She was torture.She was trouble.She was damnation.And she was my father’s wife.My mother-in-law.She definitely crossed a line, and I could not do anything about it.I was foolish. Again.So, I resolved to come over to Aurora’s place today and plead with her. I was going to tell her how sorry I was and beg for her forgiveness.But now, she was leaving. She was leaving again. I set Theo on the space beside me on the couch and ran after

AuroraI found a handkerchief forgotten in my dash. Pulling it quickly, I dabbed my face with it as Leon approached the car.I pushed the door open and got out, carrying my bag with me.“I thought someone was being pursued by a demon,” he croaked.I laughed despite myself. “And who would that be?”He hesitated. “I heard the noise from inside. I had to be sure I was safe.”I chuckled again. “I think you—” My words died in my mouth when I saw the expression on his face. I followed his gaze to the car’s hood, seeing its distance away from the garage shed. It was merely inches away.“Were you drunk?” His eyes slowly turned from the car to face me.I looked at the car, then at him, and shook my head.“You’re too meticulous,” he murmured. “Something is definitely wrong.”I shook my head vehemently. “I’m fine, Leon.”“No, you’re not.”“I am.”“No.”I sighed, letting the mask I’d prepared to lie to him fall off. He looked at me for a long moment.“I thought so,” he muttered. “Do you want to t

DamienWhen Genevieve pulled away from me and glanced at Aurora, it dawned on me what she wanted to achieve.Aurora looked seconds away from breaking into different little pieces emotionally.Aurora staggered forward, and the guest made way for her. The pretty woman headed for the entrance and walked through it.From across the room, my eyes met Leila. She rubbed her forehead with what I assumed was a sigh.I glared at Genevieve. “What was that?” My voice was a cold, angry whisper.She smiled sweetly, making my insides burn with fury.“Our agreement, of course,” she said. “You were enjoying yourself too much, so I thought I should claim what is mine back.”Pulling away from her, I hurried to the entrance, calling for Aurora.She turned and looked at me, and I saw the raw pain in her eyes. Then she shook her head and hurried to the parking lot.I froze for a moment, then ran towards her.“I can explain,” I hurried down the stairs to catch up with her, but she was already in her car. He

AuroraFor the first time since this night began, I was beginning to think that showing up here was a big mistake.I glanced at the entrance, then looked at Damien. He looked uncomfortable, but his face wasn’t convincing.“What's up about her?” I asked him again. He looked down, hesitating. “Aurora, we shouldn’t talk about it.”“Everyone, I want you to listen,” Genevieve’s voice boomed in the room. Warily, I approached the balcony exit, descending to the hall where everyone had gathered around Genevieve.She turned around, seeing me descending the stairs, and for a moment, I thought her smirk widened.No, I didn’t think. It actually happened, her eyes sparkling with mischief.“Listen, everyone,” Genevieve turned, backing me. “You all may have been invited here to celebrate life, but what you don’t know is that we are here to celebrate love, too.”I blinked, stopping just a tread away from the floor. What was she talking about?She continued speaking with a flourish.“I’m sure you al

DamienI hadn’t taken Genevieve’s request to want me back seriously, until I saw how she glared at me across the dance floor.If eyes could kill, I would have dropped dead in Aurora’s arms.When I noticed, I fed the anger, engaging with Aurora more as the dance progessed.“You’re enjoying the dance way too much,” I said. “So much for someone who doesn’t do dance.”“You are making me enjoy it,” she frowned, but a smile betrayed it.“See,” I smirked. “I know that lie when I see it.”The music slowed and then dropped before switching.Aurora gave me a look, then pulled back. “I said one dance.“It wouldn’t hurt to have one more dance,” I frowned.She shook her head. “I’m going to get some fresh air. You know where to find me if you need me.”I frowned as she left.I watched her ascend the stairs and disappear through the entrance to the balcony.“Hey,” I heard a familiar voice and I turned. Leila was grinning at me.“Hey, “ I failed to stop a smile from breaking through my face.“You see

AuroraIt was when I stepped down from the car that I realized that money had a smell.The entire venue glowed with thousands of lights, and all manner of luxury lights known to man lined the entrance.Nothing from all the experience I’d acquired around wealth for the last five years prepared me for what I saw today.Thousands of camera flashes met me as I stepped out of the car, from photographers and paparazzi that crowded the red carpet.“Ms. Harrington!”“Aurora, over here.”“Look this way!”Newsmen and paparazzi hurried towards me. For a moment, I got scared before I noticed men in black suits over a black shirt and ties that shimmered like fish scales in the evening light.I drew in a breath I didn’t realize I needed, rolling my eyes.I walked up the several stairs draped in red rug to the entrance. At the top of the stairs, Damien was waiting for me with a small smile and a glass of champagne, standing tall and looking way too confident.Looking way too pleased with himself.

Aurora A few feet away from Conference room D, I glared at Damien from the glass walls as he tumbled inside, looking like the devil himself was the one chasing him.He hushed a greeting to a blonde sitting beside him, before producing a tablet from his bag.For a moment, I wished I couldn’t attend

Damien Aside one thing, I would have considered today my lucky day. I just didn't know to expect the day to go the way it did. I didn't know what to think when Leila brought the news of the scandal against Aurora on my desk.Part of me felt bad that the lady was being dragged about on the Interne

AuroraWhen I got home that day and an emergency meeting scheduled by the partners, I wasn't surprised. I was expecting it all along.Ariadne Hunt had taken a major hit from the scandal, and stock prices would have plummeted if not for the wonder man and woman around me.Leon and Patrice Those tw

DamienThe sight of Genevieve on my couch made me regret coming back to the penthouse. I regretted opening the door that evening.How did she even get access?She stared at me, one hand casually swirling wine in a glass. Her designer bag was set beside the bottle of drink she was having.The most e
