That same night, Jeremy Logan was watching the news in his living room when he received an unexpected visitor. Without beating about the bush, Angelina dropped the cheque she came with on the coffee table in front of him. "What's this?" "It's my entire paycheck, including all the generous bonuses Mr. Gallagher gave me. It's more than enough to cover all the expenses incurred in getting both Alicia and I to London, the rent you paid for our apartment, clothes you bought for me, gas, everything! I'll try and get more petty jobs I can do during the daytime so I can pay for our trip back home before our Visa expires. So, you don't have to worry about our welfare anymore."Jeremy frowned. "What are you trying to say, Angelina?" "I'm terribly sorry, Jeremy, but I can't do this anymore. I just can't!" "What the heck are you saying, Angelina? Don't you dare! Don't you dare do this to me, Angelina McQueen! We had a deal and so you're not going anywhe
The CEO's "Little Man" Chapter Thirteen: When The Illusion Finally Fades Away...
Ever the meticulous and punctual person, Maxwell arrived at exactly eight pm at the address his little man gave him, which turned out to be a nightclub in the suburban part of London.Although clubbing had never been his thing, he didn't hesitate to stride into the raucous place, in his characteristic majestic way with two of his bodyguards trailing behind. He didn't bother to go to the VIP section or even take a seat as he stood at a secluded corner, scanning his eyes all over the crowded club in search of his little man.However, the little man was nowhere to be seen and just as he checked the time and realised that it was ten minutes after eight, the lights went dim. Then all of a sudden, a very melodious, euphonious and captivating voice of a woman rent the air before the spotlights were illuminated on the stage, where a young lady dressed in all black---black halter maxi dress, black pumps, black hat and a black net covering her gorgeous face, stood with the mic in her gloved han
The CEO's "Little Man" An Unexpected Proposal
Maxwell leaned against the railing in the balcony, smoking roll after roll of cigarettes. On a normal day, he really hated smoking but this isn't a normal day, or rather, night. Throughout the day, his mind had been boggled with many frustrating thoughts. On one hand, he just discovered that his little man is not just an imposter but an espionage agent sent to dupe him and on another, the DNA test he redid came out negative. Isabella was truly not his daughter and so, if Janette carried out her threat, he'd end up losing the apple of his eyes; his dearest Izzy as well, just as he lost his little man. Desperate to clear his head of the frustrating and agitating thoughts, he resorted to smoking since drinking alcohol was out of the question so as not to get too drunk to handle Izzy. Maybe he might succeed in puffing out his frustrations into the air along with the cigarette smoke. But alas, that didn't seem to work as the same questions kept boggling his mind. What could he do to mak
The CEO's "Little Man" Chapter Fifteen: Getting Married And Meeting 'Her Honey'
Angelina couldn't believe her ears. "What?! Now?! What's the rush for, sir? I mean, how can a wedding be…" "This is a contract marriage, Devilina. All you have to do is sign some few documents and that's it; you're bound to me for the next couple of years. This is no fairy tale and so there will be no useless wedding ceremony whatsoever."But Angelina wasn't ready to give in. "I know this is just a contract marriage but it's a legal marriage after all! For that, we need to obtain licenses and get some witnesses. This will take some time so…" "Everything has already been taken care of. As we speak, the two witnesses are already waiting for us at the city hall."At that, Angelina pursed her lips. So he had already arranged everything even without speaking with her. He had been absolutely confident about her acceptance. Afterall, to him she's the gold digger and money grubber who can never resist such a staggering offer. Well, he was right in one aspect. His offer was too
The CEO's "Little Man" Chapter Sixteen: The Woman With Special Talents.
"Get inside."Angelina looked at Maxwell with a quizzical expression on her face. They had just arrived at the mansion and after parking in front of the porch, instead of getting out of the car and leading the way, he ordered her to go in, alone. "What?" "I said go inside the house. It's not as if this is your first time coming." Then, turning to face the chauffeur, he ordered, "Gregory, offload the stuff in the boot and ask Jerry to take them inside."As Gregory vacated the car in order to carry out the order, Angelina took her birdcage and just as she stepped the first foot out of the luxurious car, she heard the deep, baritone voice address her once again. "Oh, and by the way, take this."He extended his fisted hand towards her and as he unclenched it, she saw a small blue ring box in the middle of his palm. A frown of confusion materialized on her face but before she could utter a word, he elucidated. "It's your wedding ring. Put it on your ring fin
The CEO's "Little Man" Chapter Seventeen: The Most Unusual Wedding Night!
"To my study, now!"As usual, Maxwell didn't shout or bark the order at her even though he seemed to be seething with rage. Rather, he spoke in his characteristic frosty, chilly tone which made Angelina shudder involuntarily. And as he turned and stormed away, she couldn't help but ask herself. What did she do to rile him up this much?She slowly trailed behind him but instead of directly following him to the study, she made a quick visit to the kitchen and got something first.Upon reaching the study on the second floor, she knocked once before opening the door and barging in, just as is typical of her. As soon as she stepped in and closed the door behind her, memories of the first time she came into this same room flooded her mind.How she saw the slumped figure of her drunk boss on that same couch…How he laid down all those strong frigid walls of his; giving her a glimpse of the real person buried deep beneath, showing her his raw, deep emotions…How he told he needed her in
The CEO's "Little Man" Chapter Eighteen: A New Day
The shrill sound of Angelina's outdated Samsung mobile phone woke her up from a deep slumber.Subconsciously, she reached for it and with half-open eyes, she swiped the phone and answered without checking the caller ID. "Meet me at the West wing. Now."Her groggy, sleepy eyes instantly became wide open. That was unmistakably her newly-wedded husband's voice. Checking the time on her phone, she frowned when she discovered that it was just four thirty am in the morning! Why is he summoning her to his part of the mansion at this ungodly hour?Slipping on her flip-flops, she stealthily opened the door and noiselessly walked out of the east wing, so as not to disturb anyone else's sleep.Upon knocking once and turning the door knob, she found out that the door was actually open so she walked into the living room, only to find a slightly groggy-looking Maxwell pacing up and down. He still had his white shirt-dress on, with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and the top two buttons undo
The CEO's "Little Man" Chapter Nineteen: Being The Mysterious Woman
As soon as Isabella finished eating, she smiled expectantly at Angelina. Seeing that, Angelina instantly understood what she wanted so she returned the smile before saying, "Atta girl! Now it's time for you to go brush your teeth and take a bath. Should I come and run the bath for you?"Isabella instantly protested by vigorously shaking her head at Angelina before scampering to her room, presumably to freshen herself up. Making Angelina smile satisfactorily while Lucy just bit her lower lip in apprehension. She had a bad feeling about this but there was nothing she could do. Afterall, Angelina is now the mistress of the house and everything she says is an order that must be obeyed!About thirty minutes later, Angelina and Lucy were both in Isabella's study room when the young girl walked in with a huge, self-satisfied grin on her face, revealing her teeth which were now much cleaner than usual. She had successfully done everything, including combing her hair and tying it into a p
