The CEO's Forever Pet 89. Hospital
REBECCA I didn’t know how much I sobbed or how much time had passed but at some point, my eyes stopped producing tears and I gave up trying to call him. Ninety-three times I called and not one did he answer. Where was he? Oliver had never slept outside the house without prior notice and I always knew his exact location. I called Christopher too but he wasn't answering and it was obvious that I was being ignored. Where did he go so late? Did he go to her? The image of him embracing Annie who would gladly welcome him in her open arms took air from my lungs and I gasped for breath, choking on my own tears. I pushed him away. I did that. Why didn't I walk into the room to see for myself? There were CCTV's everywhere, I could as well check one of them now to find out if he spoke the truth but I was too terrified to confirm for myself that he was right. I overreacted. I let my emotions get the better of me. I sat on the couch, waiting, with my arms wrapped around my knees as I drew
The CEO's Forever Pet 90. Who are you
REBECCA "Do you remember your name?" "Lucia." "How old are you?" "Thirty-one," she turned her head to look at me again, uncertain in her gaze and she smiled nervously, "Although… I doubt that now seeing how my daughter is all grown up." She hung her head low. "That means… Patrick is…" My heart clenched for her, unsure of what to say as I remained mute at a corner of the room. The doctors asked their questions to make sure she was alright while I still struggled to wake up from this dream. I've always looked forward to seeing her, to her waking up again and having her by my side. To hear her laugh, smile, pout and scold me. Now that she's awake, I'm suddenly aware of what we are. Strangers. Connected by blood but we were strangers. I wasn't her little girl anymore. She had missed fifteen years of my life. I needed her so much in those times, not just her but father too. I took out my phone suddenly remembering I missed a call and stared at Victor's call. Silly me, I thought it
The CEO's Forever Pet 91. Amnesia
REBECCA "Like I said," the doctor began. "It'll take her a while to remember and hold onto the memories." My heart sank to my stomach as I heard those words and I haven't been able to recover from it. I squeezed my phone as I watched her sleep. It was midnight already and I still didn't want to leave her side. I painfully exited her room and sat outside when one of the bodyguards handed me a milkshake and a burger. "You haven't had anything to eat yet. We went down to get you something." I wanted to ask on whose orders? Was this Oliver checking in on me but right now he was the least of my worries? "Thanks," I accepted it and ate little as I thought back on what the doctor said, tapping my feet rather impatiently. "She may or may not recover but only time will tell. I'd advise she's put around familiar surroundings that hold very strong and passionate good memories. A family home sounds good enough. She mentioned her husband. Maybe being in her old house would do." That was a v
The CEO's Forever Pet 92. Selfish and Unfair
REBECCA “Mom? Mom, what did you say?” I swallowed hard as I approached her, tense with shock. Her brows furrowed questioning as she studied my face, “What?” She asked and I grabbed her hands searching her eyes. Was Oliver here when I was gone? Did he tell her anything? Did she hear anything from the nurses? Ollie? No one else called him that except me and some other woman he said was no longer alive. His mom or aunt, he didn't say. “Mom, was anyone here when I was gone?” I asked, gripping her hands tight. Fear flashed in her orbs but I carried on, “Did anyone come here? Any man–” “Wh-What are you talking about?” She started to pull her hand away but I grabbed her tighter. “Mom, tell me-” “Rebecca, you're scaring her,” Theo jerked me out of it and she used that opportunity to yank her hand away, staring at me like I would harm her. She heaved with heavy breaths, tears stinging her eyes and her brows were in a heavy frown. She looked like she would scold me if she could just fi

REBECCA"I'll let you know when I get the information you seek," Theo pulled over at Oliver's place and I wasted no time in unfastening my seatbelt. We had sat under a very uncomfortable silence on the way here and I had been praying for the ride to end.Did I mess things up between us without realising it?Even as he looked at me, I could tell he didn’t really look at me. It was almost as if he had so much to say."Okay, thanks-"He grabbed the door handle before I could open it and I turned my neck to him."Don't hesitate to call me if you need to talk," he made clear. "I will come get you faster than the speed of light."I knew I could rely on him but after what happened between us, I dreaded staying in the same room together.I gulped, nodding, unable to use my words and he let go. I hurried out, slamming the door shut and I didn't wait to watch him drive off before I hurried in. my bodyguards were already right behind me. They rode in a separate car.The fact that they didn't com
The CEO's Forever Pet 94. Annie
REBECCAWell there goes my chance to ask him about the property. Something told me he would know about it. He was always interested in my business, sometimes more than I was.Oliver was acting off and I was starting to wonder if this had been going on for a while and I was just blind to it.I went up to my room feeling overwhelmed by his attitude, determined to look into this further.I was pissed about the fact that he knew my mother was awake yet he didn't even... Oliver didn't even... For the love of God! He said he loved me!Shit! Now I sounded like a whiny little bitch in my own head. I was expecting way too much from this man.As much as I wanted to get into that private jet and flee with my mother, I didn't want to leave more regrets in this city. I knew I would never be truly happy if I just whisked her away.She didn't know who I was, and couldn't recognize me for no more than a minute or two.I just needed a few days on that property. Just a few days. I didn't even plan to g
The CEO's Forever Pet 95. Don't cross me
OLIVER"She's awake."I couldn't count the number of times Victor had said that today but I still had the same reaction every time.My heart sank to my stomach and my hands trembled. This wasn't a feeling of joy, it was one of fear. I had congratulated Rebecca but deep down, I was wickedly relieved by the fact that Lucia had woken up with a clean slate memory.Was this the heavens trying to give me a second chance or trying to save her from death? Once my grandfather knew she had her memories, they'd be dead before I could move a muscle."Prepare the jet, they leave tonight," I sipped my hot coffee and rolled up my sleeves. I was starting to get hot like the air conditioner wasn't working. I loosened my tie and popped open the first two buttons."It just got complicated, didn't it?" Victor smirked, teasingly as he watched me. "You're finally feeling the heat, aren't you?""What are you talking about?" I scoffed. "They are leaving.""The doctors said-""They can piss off!" I snapped. "

OLIVERI picked up a napkin on the table and proceeded to wipe my face, "In all my years, I never thought you could actually feel fear, Mr. Wright." an old name I used to call him before I 'proved' myself worthy of being his grandchild.Yet the old man still never hesitated to slam me with the 'you're not my son' card. He was always quick to deny him.Watching him now, he was no more than a whiny baby who craved attention."Relax," I dumped the napkin on the table after wiping my face but my suit was half soaked. I made a mental note to contact his assistant to get me a replacement from his bank account."She doesn't remember a thing."His eyes flashed with more anger. "You think I don’t know that little bitch is looking for a way to get her hands on that property which I know you bought a long time ago under a false name!""I appreciate the fact that you think so highly of me. You must think I take after you-""Quit the flattering, boy. Now hand over the properties document!" As soon
