41. Worried Sick
Elisa spent an entire afternoon in the kitchen so she could prepare dinner. She called Anya ahead of time and asked her about Ansel's favorite meals.
"My brother is one lucky man, and he definitely does not deserve a woman like you," Anya had said on the phone.
Elisa blushed on her side. "I'm just trying to pay him back for everything he has done for me so far. I'm eternally grateful to him," she said.
"Oh hush. He didn't do those things out of kindness. He did all that to win you over." Anya laughed. "I think there's a strong possibility that he might be in love with you," she added.
There was not a chance in hell that was true, Elisa thought.
"You are so wrong," she giggled.
"You just wait and see Elisa. I know my brother, and he doesn't do nice things for people he doesn't love. But god knows how long it would take him to admit it. He had always been bad at expressing his true feeli

The CEO's Serious Pursuit   42. Are You Trying to Seduce Me?
Elisa woke up in the morning but couldn't move as if something was holding her down. She opened her eyes and realized it was Ansel who had her trapped. He had his arms snaked around her body into a tight hug. She could tell he was in a deep state of sleep as his chest was slowly rising and falling, and his eyelids were twitching. She carefully untangled his arms from her waist and sat down on the bed. She looked at her phone, and it was still early, so Audre must still be sleeping. She didn't wake up until 8 am, and it was only 5 am. She stared at Ansel's face. He looked like an angel when he slept. His face looked almost boyish. His usual clean shaved face was full of stubbles, making him look more like a biker than a businessman. She never noticed his nice long eyelashes before. The man was beautiful, that's for sure. She blushed as she remembered last night. He was gentle and treated her body like it was something precious to him. If she didn't know any be
The CEO's Serious Pursuit   43. She is Having a Baby
Anya was sitting by the window and reading Daddy Dearest by Eva Harlowe when she felt her first contraction. She put the book down and pressed her hand against her abdomen. It felt strange. She heard a popping noise that came from inside her body then she felt water trickling down her ankle. Did I just pee myself? Anya thought at first, but then she immediately realized what was happening. Her water broke! She dropped the book and grabbed the cellphone, and dialed 911. Then, she dragged herself to the bathroom. She wasn't overflowing with water like in movies, but she didn't want to take the risk of ruining the carpet. She called Connor but couldn't reach him. "Goddammit, you asshole! Why aren't you here when I need you?" she screamed by herself then called her mother. Ariel picked up the phone immediately. "Mom, I am about to have a baby. I need you," she whined. "Oh my god, sweetie. I'll be there as soon as possible!" her mom said ur
The CEO's Serious Pursuit   44. Little Temptress
A week later, Elisa took Audre to her new school so she could help her settle in. "You are a big girl now, so behave yourself. Make lots of friends," Elisa said and kissed her on the forehead. "I will," she said. Elisa knew she had nothing to worry about. Audre was a social butterfly. She was surprised when she saw Ansel at home waiting for her. She didn't say anything for a while and just stared at him. He took his suit jacket off and had his shirt sleeves rolled up while he worked on his laptop. He was laser-focused, so he didn't hear her come in at first. She looked at his arms moving as he typed and started to get flustered. Something about those veins in those muscular arms on men turned her on. She snapped out of her trance when he looked up and saw her. "What's going on? Why aren't you at the office?" she asked after gathering her thoughts. "I brought home the stuff I need to work on because I wanted to spend mor
The CEO's Serious Pursuit   45. Let's Go to a Party
Ansel stood behind Elisa and stroked her rear. He knew she would protest and tell him no for being a pervert, but he didn't care. She smelled like soap, and he was turned on again. "You smell pretty. Let me have you one more time," he whispered into her hair. She giggled in response and pushed him off. "Bad Ansel! I just took a shower, so stay away from me!" Elisa cried. "You're so mean. But fine. Oh, by the way. We should look into hiring a nanny for Audre," Ansel said. He switched to serious mode. Elisa frowned. "A Nanny? She doesn't need one. I've been raising her on my own just fine. I don't want someone else to take care of her. Why would you suggest something like that?" she exclaimed. She never liked the idea of rich people handing their kids off to Nannies. No matter how much money she has now, she wouldn't do that to Audre. Ansel put his hands up in surrender. "Whoa there, Mama Bear. I didn't mean anything by it. No one will be raisin
The CEO's Serious Pursuit   46. Remember Me?
Elisa felt sick to her stomach. She felt like she'd fall over and pass out as soon as she looked at his face. Mikey... The memories came flashing back all at once. She remembered all the sick little fantasies he played out using her, and it made her want to kill herself all over again. "Sweetheart, what's wrong?" She snapped back to reality as she heard Ansel's kind voice whisper in her ear. She forgot he was there. Could he really protect her as he promised? "I...I got to go to the ladies' room. Please excuse me," she mumbled, then ran off. She looked around in panic. She needed to get the hell away from there. She found the restroom and barged in. She couldn't hold it in anymore. She went into the first stall, and dry heaved over the toilet. "Elisa, what's going on?" She heard Ansel outside, and her stomach twisted into a knot. He had followed her. How can she tell him? He said Mikey was his friend and a busin
The CEO's Serious Pursuit   47. A Sudden Realization
Ansel had been watching Elisa, and he knew she wasn't going to stay calm. He needed to do something before she broke down and did something she regretted. "Of course, you may take your woman. Sorry about separating you two for so long," Michael had said. He had a smug smile on his face. Ansel wanted nothing more than to beat him to death, but he controlled his anger. He needed to remain calm and calculated for Elisa's sake. Michael walked away, leaving Ansel and Elisa alone on the dance floor. Ansel pulled her closer and swayed with the music while she kept her arms wrapped around his neck. "Are you okay?" he whispered. He held her against his chest. "No," Elisa said and rested her head on his shoulder. He felt her trembling slightly, and his chest tightened. He never felt like this about a woman before. He thought he was madly in love with Jessica, but as the time passed by after she left, he was able to erase all of his feelings toward her.
The CEO's Serious Pursuit   48. A Suspicion
"You are a true friend, Mikey," Gerald gushed as Michael Gray handed him a bundle of hundred-dollar bills. "Yeah, yeah. I'm starting to feel like you're not worth my time and money. You promised me the girl weeks ago, and I still don't see a result," Michael scoffed. "Patience, my friend. Since when have I ever let you down?" Gerald winked. "I don't know, Gerry. This may not be a good idea. Ansel Adams is not some kind of small fry. I've been doing business with him for a while so messing with him is just...I don't know." Michael shook his head. "Don't tell me you are thinking about backing down. How long we've been friends? You're gonna blow a good trade because of some asshole?" Gerald said irritably. "As I said, he is not some asshole..." "Look, Mikey. You said it yourself. You felt like a fool when Elisa slipped out from under our nose. Don't you want revenge?" Gerald urged him. He could feel Michael's hesitation. He couldn't let h
The CEO's Serious Pursuit   49. A Job Well Done
Anya picked up Caleb from his crib and sniffed his diaper. Never in her life she imagined she'd be sniffing someone's butt like a dog, but here she was. Good thing Caleb was only a few months old and his poop didn't reach the solid state yet. She put him down immediately. The diaper was full, alright. "Connor! Get over here!" she called and thanked her lucky stars that he was home. "What is it, sweetheart? Is there something wrong?" Connor asked. "Yes. Something is terribly wrong. Your son exploded." She held Caleb up. "And it's your turn to get rid of the evidence." Connor winced. "There's no way it's my turn already. I feel I did it the last two times already." "Well, no one asked you to ejaculate inside me, so now you pay the price, dummy!" Anya declared. Connor sighed. "You are a pain in my ass. I'm going to do it one last time. Then it's all you, buddy." Anya handed Caleb to Connor and danced her way out. She had t
