CEO's Getaway Love のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

"Jason, before you go, can I have a word?" Sue asked at the end of work the next day. It was Friday today and I planned to spend the weekend with Kiara and Olivia. We had booked into a hotel near a dam and specially asked for the biggest size bed that they had. It was about an hour's drive from Joburg. "Sure, Sue. What's up?" I smiled and stepped aside to talk to her. "Listen, my boy, the lawyers want to rush along having you take over the company." "Oh. Do you think I'm ready?" "Of course I do. You're proven yourself multiple times. I know you don't believe in yourself but I do. The Porter surname suits you well." She chuckled and held my hands in hers. "When will this happen?" "Monday my daughter is flying over. She needs to be here as a witness. We'll hold a ceremony that Wednesday and then sign everything on Thursday." "I can't wait to meet your daughter, if she's anything like you I'm sure we'll get along." I smiled and placed a kiss on Sue's cheek. "Oh, you little charme

“I don’t understand.” Olivia pouted. “You’re the one who first kissed me on that business trip.” “I was curious. I’m selfish, okay? I wanted you but as soon as I got you, I didn’t want you anymore.” I sighed and watched her tear up. “But you want Kiara?” “She’s the only woman I want. I’m tempted by others and I thought being with someone else would give me that rush of excitement like it usually does but it didn’t. I can’t even picture myself with anyone else besides her. I don’t know what this is but I know that I love her, with all of my heart. I shouldn’t have even looked at you sexually, I know that now. I had to learn the hard way. Now things are just complicated.” “I really like you, Jason. I thought you did too. You were sweet to me unlike any other man, you gave me compliments and held my hand…” “I’m sorry, Olivia. I truly didn’t mean to lead you on. I just wanted to be friends, I wanted to treat you like any man should.” “It’s normal for someone to be nice without having

Tuesday was a big day for me. Sue's daughter had arrived yesterday and was coming into the company building later today to meet me before the big ceremony. She didn't give me a time yet so the whole day I was anxious. I tried not to think about the news of my mother and just did what Kiara suggested. Keep busy and keep my mind distracted. I was in my office going through the unofficial draft of the contract to take over the company when the clicking sound of heels walking across the tiles made me look up. The women here bearly wore heels. My heart started racing as I realised Sue’s daughter was probably here. As I shot up, I fixed my tie and quickly ran my hand through my hair. Why was I so nervous? It was just the woman whose son I was pretending to be… “Emily, dear, how wonderful to see you again.” I heard Sue say as I walked out of my office. “Did you have any trouble on the way here?” “I just have to get used to driving on the opposite side of the road now.” The woman replied w

I felt numb as I walked back over to the table. The background applause became muffled and all the lights seemed to blind me. Shit, was I having another panic attack? "Congratulations..." Was all I heard as I placed my award on the table. I could see mouths moving but there was no sound. "Excuse me," I mumbled and my eyes met Kiara's for a second before I walked away. My heart was racing as I walked outside and decided to head towards the benches by the fountain. The sound of the rushing water was all I focused on as I sat down and watched the stars above me twinkle. Fuck. It wasn't long before I felt someone grab onto my arm and turned to see Kiara sit down next to me. "Jason, baby, are you okay?" She softly asked and placed a kiss on my shoulder. I looked at her and slowly shook my head as my eyes filled with tears. "It's okay, come here." She added and pulled me into her arms. Shit. I held onto her like she was my only way to breathe... the stole existence of my life. Her h

Later that night, I woke up in a bed that wasn’t the one I fell asleep in. I shot up and looked around. I wasn’t in the same room anymore, either."Kiara?" I yelled and jumped out of bed. There was no reply, and my heart was already starting to race. Instead, I decided to do the logical thing and go investigate where I was. I opened the bedroom door and recognised the house. I was by Sue’s mansion, but how?Muffled voices came from down the hallway, so I decided to head in that direction. The closer I got, the clearer the voices came. One was a woman, and the other was a man. The man’s voice sounded so familiar, like an old memory from my past."What are you talking about?!" The man shouted."I can’t do this anymore. I need to take my happiness into consideration!" The woman replied while crying."Aren’t you happy with me?"After a short pause, the woman responded, "No, I’m not. Maybe if it were just you and me... but with the boys… I just can’t.""They're your sons, Emily! You decide
