Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mr. CEO, Please Love our mummy: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Emily “We will try all we can. But we cannot operate on him until the payment is made. We are very sorry.” Says the doctor as he gives us the results for Dad who just had a heart attack. I stand hopelessly as the reality hits me that we cannot afford to pay Dad’s bills. “We will think of something.” Lewis tries to remain positive and I nod my head absentmindedly. Because he is only fourteen and I don’t want him to know more than he does already. My legs are a puddle of jelly but somehow, I manage to walk back into Dad’s hospital room. Tears roll down my face as I watch him sleep. He has tubes in his mouth and a machine that is keeping him alive. The bip sound is a constant relief which is a signal to show that he is alive. The ones they will remove if we don’t make the payment. A little voice reminds me and my heart clenches painfully. It hurts to see the strongest man I know rely on a machine. He has been our hero and our protector and now he is on the verge of being taken away.

LiamI stare at the message that Dad had sent and I shake my head in disbelief. This is his way of punishing me? By finding me a gold-digging whore to marry?I laugh at how ridiculous this whole thing is. I assaulted an officer for putting his hands on me, I should be defended but because I’m a son who has lost his way, it doesn’t matter what I fucking do. I’m always at fault.Anger seethes through me as I stare at the picture he had attached to the message. She stares back at me with her big brown eyes and I already hate her. The fact that she looks so innocent makes my blood boil. My last scandal caused a worse stir and he said nothing. But I knew Dad would not ignore it this time, but marriage?Especially when he knows what kind of betrayal and pain “she” left me in. This is a stretch and being threatened with being stripped of my position if I don’t cooperate makes me grind my teeth in irritation. “Sir, the engagement party will be starting soon and you are expected to be early

EmilyDad just came out of the hospital and is in a wheelchair until he fully recovers. It has been two days since our engagement party and I can’t for the life of me find where to start from to talk about it to my family. My aunty Melan decided to move in with us until dad was better so that we were not disturbed with school and as much as I feel bad for burdening her, I’m glad she did that. ‘“Come on guys it’s Thanksgiving!’’ Nina complains as everyone is glued to the new TV show. Aunty Melan laughs as she sets the food on the table, “Well at least someone can help me and not just watch me.’’ ‘’Let me help. ‘’ I jump up from my seat and Nina groans in frustration but remains sitting. Nina’s family lives so far away in Canada so she is not able to always go back home but our house is like her second home and it's always fun to have her around. She is like a sister I never had. “I’ll join you later. Me and the old man here need to catch up on what happens next.’’ She defends herse

Emily How the wedding moved from four days later to right the next day is not even a shock. I’m so tired that I just want to get this over with and when I received the text message last night, I couldn’t even cry. I tried and hoped to but the tears just couldn’t come out. “Why are you rushing this Emily? Is there something I should know about?” Dad asks.“No, he has a trip next week and I can only tag along if we are married.” I lie and feel ridiculous at how it doesn’t make sense even to my own ears. “Are you pregnant?” Aunt Melan asks and I almost choke. “No, I’m not” The doorbell rings and I assume that it's Jake who has come to pick me up since I was told I would dress from the hotel again. “Dad please.” I plead and he looks at me with sadness in his eyes before nodding.“You go ahead, we will be right behind you.” He says and I kiss him on the cheek and walk out.The trip is short and Nina is with me as we enter a room that we expect to find empty but it's full of people. Ab

EmilyI close the door, pick the dress laid out for me, and run downstairs as tears roll down my face. I can barely see and I might bump into someone but I don’t care. I find one of the bathrooms and I lock myself. Everything comes crashing down as I begin to sob uncontrollably. The hot tears don’t stop as I grip my chest and my knees give out making me sit on the cold hard floor. Why is this happening to me?I didn’t expect love but cheating? On the very night of our wedding is too painful. I should be by my father’s side but I can’t even be there because the contract doesn't allow me to until this is over.How long will I be made to go through the same kind of pain over and over again? If he is not cheating, he is threatening and insulting me. I wipe the tears but they don’t stop falling so I let them.Only this time, Kylie won’t be here to fix me when I’m needed again. The door knob twists and turns and I ignore it until I hear a voice I recognize, Nina.I force myself to stand
