One Night With Mr. CEO의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

Seeing her reflection on the elevator’s wall, marahang inayos ni Lauren ang kanyang damit habang paakyat siya sa hotel suite na nirentahan ng boyfriend niyang si Jerome Nacionales ngayong gabi. It’s her boyfriend’s birthday today. And while Jerome’s mother, Tita Emily, planned a big celebration for her son, mas pinili ni Jerome na ituloy ang plano nitong intimate celebration na sila lang dalawa. And who is she to complain? Bilang chief-operating-officer ng NTS Broadcasting Company, isa sa pinakamalaking tv at radio company sa bansa kung saan siya isang contract artist, palagi siyang may kaagaw sa oras ng nobyo. At sa nakalips na halos isang taon na relasyon nila, mabibilang pa lang sa kamay ang mga pagkakataon na nakakapagsarilinan silang dalawa. Sometimes, even during their dates, bitbit pa rin nito ang mga concerns mula sa kumpanya nito. And she had no choice but to always be patient and understanding dahil palagi nitong sinasabi na para din naman daw iyon sa kinabukasan nila at ng

"A third party, seriously? How could you do that, Kiel? Out of all women you could have, pinili mo pa talaga ang kilalang may sabit! And it's not just some couple you messed with! It's Jerome's woman for pete's sake! Now they have used their media power to hit us with whatever mud they can throw at us, especially at you and Ace Logistics!" mataas ang boses na sabi ng kapatid niyang si Aaron. His brother was anxiously pacing to and fro the receiving room of their family's penthouse at SSL. Naroon din si Joshua, his other brother and of course, his mother, who's calm demeanor is scaring the shit out if him more.He huffed and went towards the bar. He just spent the last few minutes explaining his side on the scandal. He's parched, pissed and perturbed. Damn right, he needed a drink for that."Seriously, you need a drink right now? Nakikinig ka ba, Kiel?" si Aaron ulit, tunog saway. "Joshua, talk to that bother of yours before I'd punch the shit out that dickhead!"Nag-angat ng tingin s

Isang marahas na tapik sa balikat ang nagpagising kay Lauren kinabukasan. Her head was pounding from lack of sleep and her eyes were throbbing from crying too much. “Mabuti naman at gising ka na, Lauren. Bumangon ka na riyan at ipagtimpla mo ko ng kape,” utos agad sa kanya ni Tita Lileth. Nakaayos na ang kanyang tiyahin, bagong ligo rin. Ipinagala niya ang kanyang tingin sa may dingding. It’s just eight in the morning. Last time she checked the time, it was 5:30 A.M. Meaning, she just had two and half hours of sleep. Pero heto na naman ang tiyahin niya at inuutusan siyang magtimpla ng kape nito. “Bilisan mo na riyan. Pupuntahan ko ngayon ang mga kakilala ko. Susubukan kong ayusin ‘yang gulong pinasok mo. Pero hindi ibig sabihin na gumagawa ako ng paraan, hindi mo na gagawin ang pinagapagawa ko sa 'yo. Makikiusap ka pa rin kay Jerome sa ayaw o sa gusto mo,” anito, mabilis na humithit sa sigarilyo at naglakad patungo sa kitchen. She released a slow breath. She really can’t have a bre

Jerome downed the whole glass of brandy in one go. It tasted bitter yet even that doesn't distract him from the anger washing over him since this morning. Lauren, that whore just gave herself away to that Samaniego. Gigil niyang inilapag ang baso ng alak sa counter. Nawala lahat ng pinagpaguran niya sa loob ng isang taon, ang panunuyo, pag-uunawa at pagtitiis niya rito. All of those because his mother wanted Lauren to be his wife. Not that he doesn't want Lauren to be his, she is beautiful, young , and smart. He likes her, any virile man would like the embodiment of a bombshell named Lauren Ortega. But ever since his mother saw Lauren win an international beauty contest 2 years ago, she had become fond of her-- even became persistent that he should marry Lauren for she is just perfect for him. And so he pursued her, patiently. Knowing full well that she'd give in to his needs, sooner or later. But Lauren is one prude woman. She just won't surrender to him fully, given his appetite for

"This is Kiel's house," anang Mommy ni Kiel as the car was pulling over in front of a house that is twice as big as her townhouse. The house is located inside a posh subdivision within the metro. Doon sila dumiretso pagkalapag na pagkalapag nila sa airport. Hindi sila nagtagal sa HongKong. Matapos siyang iwan ni Kiel at magpunta ito sa kung saan, nag-aya na rin pauwi ng Pilipinas si Madam Liza. The old woman took it to herself to tell her a thing or two about her new husband. Dahil hanggang sa mga oras na iyon, hindi pa rin nagpapakita si Kiel. "He got this about two years ago after he finished his masters in London and decided to build his own company, Ace Logistics," patuloy pa ng matandang babae bago nito tinulak pabukas ang pinto. The house was spacious and clean, adorned with fine things only people with money can afford. Marahan siyang siniko ng tiyahin niya na ipinilit ang pagsama sa kanya hanggang doon."Pwedeng-pwede akong tumira dito, Lauren. This place would be big for t
