The Reluctant Daddy CEO Chapter Forty One : Dream big.
ASHLEY. "I am so glad we could meet up tonight," Lily said.I nodded with a smile. I needed this after what happened. It hasn't even been twenty four hours. I could still feel his lips on mine. The tingly sensation from the kiss. It actually happened. I have managed to avoid him up to now but I can’t keep doing that. "Is she good?" I asked.She paused from licking her ice cream. She looked sad. "Did... she... hit... you?" My voice dropped an octave like I was scared for her to actually admit it.She mustered a smile. "It has only been once so I guess it's good."My chest tightened at her words. "She... promised."Her hand found mine on my laps. "It’s all good. The ointment is still working."Her getting used to it, this I hated more. "I am sorry," I whispered. She pouted. "This's why I didn't want to tell you."I was worrying so much about the kiss when I had better things to think about. Knowing fully we will never work out. It probably meant nothing to him. Lily should be m
The Reluctant Daddy CEO Chapter Forty : Don't make such mistake.
NICHOLAS. "What did you find out?" I asked, leaning back in my seat.He mimicked my action. "The danger she speaks of isn't real."I wasn’t totally surprised. "I knew it," I started. "But why did she lie?""Her grandma did die. She's currently dating this actor. The guy posted something months ago. He cannot take care of another's man child or marry someone that has a child."It all made sense. "Her grandma died so she had to step up.""She doesn't want to tell him about the child.""That’s why she dropped the child in front of my house.""She was selfish," I mumbled. "She didn't care how that decision will affect my life."He hummed in response.She could met up with me first. We could have decided on something together. "What do you want to do, boss?"I ran a hand through my hair while thinking. "Send her message. Let her know that I know the real truth. She meets up with me and we find a solution together. Or I am going to ruin her relationship."He nodded in understanding. "I wi
The Reluctant Daddy CEO Chapter Thirty Nine : Good news or bad news?
NICHOLAS. We kissed.We fucking did. What do I say to her?Your lips are just as soft as imagined them to be. I don't regret kissing you but I couldn't figure out why I did that. She cleared her throat and I looked up at her.Her on my freaking laps... still straddling me. As if realizing that now, she jolted up and straight into her seat. "I_"My AI assistant interrupted whatever she's going to say. "The rain has reduced. The path is cleared. It's dark but the streets are well illuminated with street lights. The rain is predicted to start again soon. Heavier than the last. You need to start driving now."I cleared my throat before pressing the start button. The car roared to life. As I drove through the wet roads, I pondered on what to say to her. I blurred the fucking professional line between us. The kiss was amazing. The fact that she didn't pull back. Till we got home, she didn't say anything. I wished she did so I could know what was going through her head. Did she reg
The Reluctant Daddy CEO Chapter Thirty Eight : What happens now?
ASHLEY. You do anything if I win.Those promises were reckless... dangerous. This night has been a lot. I will blame the alcohol on the dance and every word that spewed out of my mouth.The stupid dance. I still couldn't believe I danced with him like that. And now I wanted him to try out this burger. "We don't have all night," I groaned as he kept staring at it.Rich kids. I watched him bring it to his mouth and took the tiniest bite. I looked away as he chewed because I wasn't about to admit that the simple action was sexy.Like I said, it's the alcohol's fault. "So_" I trailed off. He didn't reply and took another bite. "It’s alright.""More than alright," I huffed. He shrugged. "So..."A smirk slowly curled up my lips. "You lost, boss.""You said you will do anything if I eat this," he smirked."And you will do anything if you finish it."Then he chuckled. "I haven't finished it."He took a bigger bite before tossing it into the trash bin at the corner. I gasped. "How
The Reluctant Daddy CEO Chapter Thirty Seven : Risky promises.
NICHOLAS. I extended my hand and waited for her to take it.I was going with the flow."You actually want to dance with me," she said."Even if you have two left feet," I smirked.I almost sighed in relief when she placed her hand in mine.Sparks flew through our hands and I pushed down the thoughts. I pulled her to the dance floor. We just stared at each other not wanting to take the lead.I chuckled lightly and she joined in. "Let’s actually do this."She nodded in agreement. "It’s just a dance with my boss."I gently wrapped my hands around her waist while trying not to stare down.The dress was still affecting some part of my mind."When you put it that way, it feels weird," I mumbled as her hand snaked around my neck. I glanced at Chris who's already smirking at me. I rolled my eyes at him as we continued slow dancing to the romantic song.The next song was sensual. It's supposed to be our cue to stop.But, we just kept staring at each other. "We_"She interrupted me by plac
The Reluctant Daddy CEO Chapter Thirty Six : Ouch!
ASHLEY. "How hard is it to get a guy to buy us drinks?" Molly groaned out."I have been the one buying them," I responded. She rolled her eyes at me and I did the same."But, this place is fire," Molly screamed over the loud music.I nodded in agreement. "Let’s go do more shots.""Woah! Easy tiger."I pouted. "It has been so long.""I love this version of you, babe."I smirked before leading the way to the bar.This place was packed. It’s difficult to walk around.Molly stopped abruptly and I turned around to face her. She showed me her phone screen and I saw Matt was calling."Get the shots," she shouted. "I will join you shortly.""No sexting," I teased She blushed hard before sauntering off. I continued the walk to the bar and was lucky to find an empty stool. A cute bartender approached me with a smile. "What can I get ya, beautiful?""Something strong," I replied with a smile."Be ready to be surprised."I nodded and watched him work his magic. He slid me a glass of a red dr
The Reluctant Daddy CEO Chapter Twenty Three : She deserved every inch of this.
ASHLEY. "Can we negotiate the beating too?" I asked shyly.She laughed. "How do you know I hit her?"I shrugged. "Because I know you."She nodded before puffing out a stream of smoke. "Do you have a thousand dollars more?"I looked down at my shoes, showing just how 'dejected' I was.She scoffed.
The Reluctant Daddy CEO Chapter Seven : An offer?
ASHLEY I watched him frown at her, and I almost snorted. She didn't ask to be brought into this world.I looked down at her. She looked really sad, like she understood what that single look meant. That, she just got rejected by her own father.I ran a hand through her hair, and she looked up at
The Reluctant Daddy CEO Chapter Six : Not a dad!
NICHOLAS I glanced at Ashley as she managed to get that baby to shut up. I could feel my driver staring at us through the rearview mirror. He knew better than to say anything.I remember nothing of the night that baby's mother was talking about. I would never sleep with a girl without protectio
The Reluctant Daddy CEO Chapter Five : What’s that thing?
There were times in life that you wished you could change some part of your life easily. Like erase them completely. That part of my life was related to Melissa. I didn't know how she knew that I worked for the Bianchi. Inc now. She told me to increase her monthly pay because I was earning more
