Lahat ng Kabanata ng Love, Vogue and the CEO 2: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

The moment we arrive back at the penthouse after the Live Fashion Show, I’m seductively pinned up against the wall. Ace nuzzles my neck and covers me in hot kisses. 'Ace, what are you doing?' I giggle. His lips smash onto mine as we share a fiery kiss. Panting, he cups my face and leans his forehead against mine. 'I’m just thanking you,' he smirks. His hands slowly glide up my thighs, along my stomach, and he cups my breasts as he continues to kiss me, now sucking at my neck, which will leave a hickey. 'People will see that Ace!' I giggle. 'Good! Let them see it. I want everyone to know you’re mine,' he smiles, mischievously. He begins unbuckling his belt as we continue kissing against the wall. Lifting my dress, he runs his fingers up my thigh, grips my underwear and pulls them down. Cupping my thighs, I jump up and wrap my legs around his waist and he begins thrusting; Ace’s eyes are blazing with passion. My legs tighten around his waist, pulling him in as deep as pos

Ace opens the door to his Lamborghini and helps me into his car. I can tell he is annoyed, but he's trying to stay calm for my sake. We drive away from the building and I place my hand on his shoulder.'It’s okay, Ace. It could have been a lot worse.' I frown.'A lot worse! Zurielle, they implied you were a prostitute. Who the hell would say such a thing?' He asks himself.A few minutes of silence goes by.'You are very quiet, is there something you know that I don’t?' He asks.'I may have gotten into an altercation with one of your receptionists a while back, who suggested I slept with you for the job, and that I was here for your... pleasure. I was so angry and hurt, that I threw my cold tea in her face. It wouldn't surprise me if she contacted the media.'Ace is quiet for a moment. I can’t bring myself to look at him; his knuckles on the steering wheel have whitened from gripping the wheel in anger.'Her name?' He asks, sternly.'C-Carol.' I stutter.'Part of me always knew Carol w

We tell the story of how Ace and I met and our other run-ins. Libby laughs at our regular run-ins, especially at me kneeing Ace in the balls in the stairwell.'This is a very romantic and hilarious story. It sounds like this is also new to you, Ace; learning to socialise and being in a relationship. Is there a reason why you stop pursuing relationships with people?' Libby asks, focusing on Ace.Placing my hand on Ace’s back, I give him a nod and an empathetic smile.'It’s not just me who needs to heal, Ace,' I say reassuringly.He nods and sighs, and tells Libby about the horrible upbringing he had with his mother, and his first serious long-term relationship with Ava, who his mother convinced him to date. Then how after a while his mother convinced him to propose to her, only to find her cheating on him. And then how his mother passed away, but not before reminding him he was a disappointment to her.'Since that day, I haven’t pursued a relationship; friendship or romance,' Ace expla

Halfway through the work day, I suddenly remember Cora’s offer about having a girl’s weekend away glamping.'Ace, do you have anything planned for us this weekend or next weekend?''Not yet. Do you have something in mind?' He smiles.'Cora invited me and some of the other ladies to a weekend away glamping.''Glamping?' He says and raises an eyebrow.'Yeah. It’s camping, except we do girly things like paint our nails and have facials.' I laugh.'I’ll make sure you have the weekend free to join them, but I’ll organise a bodyguard or two to go with you. I’ll ask them to watch from a distance, so it will be less noticeable. I don’t want paps sneaking around, or potential threats anywhere near you.''Potential threat?' I ask with worry.'I don’t know Mark’s whereabouts, or if he plans on staying true to his word by staying away from us. My being a billionaire puts you at risk of being ransomed by thugs.''Oh... you know what? Don’t worry about it. I think I’ve changed my mind.' I say with

As the sun rises, the sound of a helicopter is heard hovering in the sky. We jump up and down, and wave our arms in the air, trying to get the pilot’s attention.We slump in disappointment, as it flies past us. Sighing, I lean against a tree.‘I’m so tired, and so hungry I can barely stay awake.’ I sob.‘It’ll be okay.’ Hailey says and hugs me. I bury my face in her shoulder and look up to see Carol giving me a sympathetic look. I grab her arm, and pull her into us, hugging them both.‘I’m sorry I slapped you, Carol.’ I cry.‘No, I should be the one apologising. To both of you. You might be a little on the crazy side Hailey, but you’re quite fun to be around and you’re definitely not a bitch. If anything, I have been the bitch. Zurielle, I’m sorry about what I said about you and Ace. I was jealous because I had a crush on Ace and he turned me down a couple of years ago,’ she confesses.‘I had no idea that you liked Ace that way. He hasn’t mentioned it.’‘I used to like him. I moved on
