The Ceo's Addiction 14
I've been calling Noelle for the past few minutes, and she isn't picking up. When I inserted the key to our apartment, I prayed silently that Noelle would just come home and tell me it was not true. That the psycho boss of mine was lying to get me to stay with him. I walked into the apartment and went straight to my room. I located the switch and put on the light in my room. I jumped on my bed and laid down. Sometime later, I started hearing the rushing tap of a shower tap in the bathroom. My heart instantly jumped into my mouth when I found out that I wasn't alone in my own apartment. Who the fuck is in my bathroom? I jumped out of bed and tiptoed towards the wall beside the bathroom door. My mind clicked, what if he was a killer, robber or a pervert? And would I fight him empty-handed? The water stopped, and I quickly grabbed a single towel from my wardrobe. I stood still and waited till the door opened, and a man walked out of the bathroom with only a towel down. I darted towar

Kathleen' s pov.I woke up. I closed my eyes the next instant when my vision was filled with white. I opened them again and looked around. I was in my room in Aiden's mansion. Last night's memories came flooding up in my head. I straightened up and got out of bed. I noticed I was still putting on the clothes I wore last night. I must have slept off with it on my body. Gosh, I'm so thirsty and hungry. I opened the door to my room and walked out. On my way downstairs, I started hearing some voices in the living room. I came to know that one of them belonged to Noelle. "You're not supposed to be here." I heard my boss say. "What do you mean?I have every right to see her. She's my best friend." Noelle yelled at him. "Jesus, Jeremy. Is this girl really yelling at me right now?." I swallowed a laugh. He wasn't used to yelling or whatever. But none of them have the right to talk to me after what they did. Noelle got me into this mess in the first place. "You have no right to see me, ju

I strode to the first door on the left and stopped. There was another door after this one. I was curious. How many rooms does he have over here? The house was obviously big, but my room was never in this row. I walked to the door and stood in front of it. It had a 'KEEP OFF' inscribed on a metal surface and I wondered what was inside the room that required a keep-off sign. I turned the doorknob and sighed after seeing it was locked from inside. I turned back and walked toward the first door.I pushed the door open and went in. This wasn't a room, this was a library. It was large with magnificent shelves on both sides filled with books. And a table stood by the window, but Aiden was nowhere to be found. Silly me, I left Aiden in his room. I heard a door opening and closing and my eyes started to wander around. "Look to your right and open the door you see." His cold voice instructed me. I found this door on the right and pushed it open to reveal an office and here he is on a chair.

''l'm sorry for how I reacted to your story earlier. I mean, I know it's really wrong, and I hope we get back on track soon." There was silence, he looked up, carefully running his eyes over my body. He then turned back to his phone. "Okay." He finally said. I was confused. "Okay, what?." "We'll talk." He responded. I sighed out, relieved that he wasn't stressing me at all. But firstly, let's go find something to eat. "Can you come down for dinner?" I asked. "I'm not hungry," he stated flatly. I blinked, disappointed in myself that I cared to ask, "I take it that you're not cool with me. Please don't act like you are," I told him in a blatant manner. "Just cut the chit-chat and get out of my room." He ordered coldly. Silence descended between us. I wasn't going to let this go. If this is the way he treats his other employees, then he's a fool to think I would back down. I fold my hands under my breasts in anger, "How do you think I'm gonna cope with you when you act lik

"Damn it!. You're such an idiot!." I scolded myself for being so easy. "You!." I started, but a knock at the door kept me shut. "Come in." Aiden shouted with a victorious smirk over his lips. The door opened and Jeremy walked in. He had on his usual suit, and he looked nice in the morning. Then he was surprised to see his boss in my room, shirtless. "Uh..boss. A lady is waiting in the living room." Aiden removed his eyes from mine and turned them towards his manager. "A lady?. I don't have any appointments with a lady." He stated, thinking. I moved away and started picking up the pillows on the floor. "She's Lila Mila." He replied and I stopped and turned. Aiden averted eye contact with me as he searched the cushion for his phone. He grabbed his polo and put it over his head. "I'll freshen up now." He looked at me and then walked out. In less than 20 minutes, I changed into fresh clothes after brushing my teeth and walked down to see the bitch Lila Mila. It's been years since w

The rest of the day went smoothly with Aiden's kid sister constantly killing my boredom. At least, someone brought life to this house. I had forgotten about our 9'o'clock session in the morning and I didn't care. Aiden wouldn't let me into his story, he would only get me angry and watch me leave his room with nothing. He enjoyed it a lot. What's the need of keeping me here if he doesn't let me do my work?I threw the thought of Aiden behind me and focused on his sister. She told me funny stories of Aiden as a child and everyone in her family until he moved out and started fending for himself."I like you." She suddenly said and picked up my hand. I scoffed and pulled out my hand with a small laugh. "I like you too," I told her. Indeed, I liked her too. Her lips widened in a smile. "I know you do." I patted her gently. She acts like a little sis and gives me that sibling's love. That's what it would be if I had a sibling. "I don't have anyone else but me," I said sadly. "And your

I was tired, the food barely made it down my throat. The way Lila held Aiden to herself, kissing his cheek all the time, made me want to drag her out and give her an eternal beating of her life.I raised my champagne glass to my lips while glaring at them. Lila smirked, her eyes wandering all over me."Who're you to my fiancé?"I spilled the wine back into the glass, looking extremely shocked at what I had just heard. Did she say Fiance?. I looked up at Aiden, who didn't act like he cared with those cold eyes.I grabbed a napkin quickly, cleaning my mouth as I said, "Excuse me, I will be right back." I got up and started to walk away to the restroom. I opened the door and walked in. I strode to the mirror and breathed in deeply.So what?.Why am I angry? What's wrong with me?There were sweats suddenly forming on my forehead."Gosh, I can't take this anymore."I said, washing my hands and cleaning them with tissue. I will go out there and pay no more attention to them.Finally, we w

Putting Aiden out of my mind for the time being, I searched through some cupboards for any available thing to make for breakfast. Unfortunately, I forgot I was a little short on the height scale and I considered climbing to the counter to get beverages in the upper cupboard. "Need some help?." I nearly jumped out of my skin as I turned around to see the young man who occupied my room now. "Shit!. Stop sneaking up on me like that!." I yelled in his face. "I'm sorry." He apologized quietly and reached up to get down what I needed. I was in between him and the cabinets, and it felt awkward at the closeness. "Excuse me," I said. He nodded and shifted to the corner of the room. I lightened the gas and put an empty small pot on top. I noticed him staring at what I was doing in rapt attention. "What are you making?" He asked me. "Scrambled eggs. I'm warming the milk right now." I replied to him. I looked beside him, "It seems you don't cook. Sorry to say." I added immediately. He sm
