Lahat ng Kabanata ng Don't Fall For Mr. CEO: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

Five months earlier…The earliest memory Kaliya remembered was her mother’s warm smile. She knew she lived by the beach because she has memories of waking up and hearing the sounds of waves along with the chopping sounds that came from the kitchen.Little Kaliya would then get down from the bed by herself and run towards the kitchen, where her mother is preparing breakfast. Her mother would scold her, saying running inside the house would make her stumble or fall.The next memory of her mother was seeing her in a coffin. The kind lady next door was carrying little Kaliya in her arms, shedding tears while mumbling ‘you’re gonna be fine, dear, it’s all gonna be fine.’Kaliya was too young to understand what’s going on. Why was her mom sleeping? When is she going to wake up?The memories of the five year old Kaliya resurfaced as she stood by the white coffin. Her grandmother lay inside it. Even in death, the past household mistress of the Reyes family still looked elegant.“Get some rest

The soft tick toks of the clock disrupted her thoughts. The longer she kept silent, the more she was being drowned in Caleb's blue eyes. "Alright. Take your time. I don't want to force a woman to marriage."He distanced himself away from her, then putting the tray on the bed where she was sitting, he said, "Help yourself. I'll be downstairs."After hearing the door closed, Kaliya quickly checked where her phone is. She found it under the pillows, inside her purse she brought last night. When things finally sunk in and confirming that this time she screwed up real bad, she muttered curses inside her head. 'I'm not going to drink alone anymore.'She stood up, inspecting the room. The t-shirt she was wearing felt loose, but the pajama pants quite fitted her. She then felt a surge of shame.Eyeing the window and then the door, she made a decision. Calling her sister's phone number, she nervously paced around the room. ["Who's this?"]She stopped and doubted her decision, and then st

Kaliya stopped struggling. She knew the feeling and found it very familiar. In the state of helplessness, she stayed still as her hands are tied again. "A marriage certificate is just paper, Kaliya," Jonas laughed lightly. "The real gem is you."She clenched her fists and kept quiet. "Do you know why treasures are hidden?""...""Because it can be taken. And I am a very possessive person. I don't want anyone taking my property."She felt disgusted. The moment she first met Jonas, she was sure that they would never be acquaintances. "I'm not an object you can covet, Jonas."At the same time, bam, the door of the room slammed open. Caleb looked at the room with an indifferent face. He took notice of Kaliya tied in a chair and walked towards her."What the! Security! What kind of bullsh*t is this?!" Jonas screamed. The two men in suits behind Jonas reached for their guns but were startled by the people with guns pointing at them coming in the room. "What is this?!" Another shout cam

"As you can see, I have three objectives with this engagement."They just came back and the first thing Caleb talked about is the issue at hand. "First, I need a wife because I don't want to hear anymore nags from my old man. Second, with our family connections, we will be of great benefits to each other. And lastly, I need someone to ward off marriage talks. I'm sure you were forced to marry someone out of your will thus, in this contract, you and I can be free of our problems temporarily."Caleb spoke like a businessman who only babbled about the benefits."What do I get?"Of course, she was also well versed with business talks. "A fee of 20 billion dollars after the contract ends two years later and some properties. I can also reserve you a place in our company as one of our top shareholders."Actually, it was more than enough. But Kaliya had no thoughts in owning such a big amount of money nor being a shareholder. It was again a shock that the man in front of her is a billionair
