บททั้งหมดของ The CEO's Forever Pet: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

REBECCA Throughout the drive to the hospital, I had a lot to ponder on what Oliver could possibly be hiding from me. Annie had obviously said it loud enough for me to hear, that bit was clear. A secret they both shared seemed like a good start for a couple to have something in common besides generational wealth. His grandfather was quick to point that out. "We're here," the bodyguard announced as he opened the door for me to step out. I snapped out of it and got down, saying nothing as he followed me in. I slowed down when I noticed the guards standing outside my mothers' room and my heart almost dropped with panic. It was fine if I was in danger but my mother too? I put a call across to him real quick as I walked in alone- "Did something happen-" "Easy, love. I'm guessing you've seen the guards," he sighed like I woke him up. "It’s only a preventive measure." "He would go that far? Oliver, do you know what this means?" I was still sane enough to recognize that we were in a hosp

REBECCA I frowned immediately, lowering my head at the scare and trying to breathe again. My limbs had gone weak and I now placed a hand over my heart trying to keep it steady. "Did I scare you?" "What the heck do you think?" I suddenly yelled in his face and he recoiled, startled by my outburst and soon he was reaching for my face. "That's why you're crying?" I sniffed, pushing his hand off and wiping the pathetic tears that rolled down my eyes. That wasn't funny one bit. I had a stalker on my ass and he thought it was funny to pull a prank like that. I almost died from trying to escape that bodyguard. I'll die again when I get back home and have to face Oliver's tantrum-- God! He nagged like a bitch sometimes. Don't do this, don't do that, come here, go there, stay here, you can't leave-- ugh! I've had it with him! "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to trigger you," he apologised, sounding sincere as he gazed at me with kind eyes and now I felt like I had overreacted. I sighed as I w

OLIVER "I'm sorry, sir. I lost her. She just hopped on a bike. She deceived me. I'm really sorry, Mr. Wright--" I hung up, sighing as I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to relieve myself and freshen up. Today was supposed to be a day off and I always just spent the day with Rebecca since I could put a call across to her office to make sure she could skip a day or two. I walked down the stairs heading to the kitchen to get a snack before pulling out my phone again to scroll down the familiar app. The front door suddenly opened and Victor was walking in, white sleeves rolled up, tie crooked on his neck and his hair hanging from different sides. I munched down on my cereal as he stormed closer with a document and he slammed it on the table. "She's missing. Her phone is out of coverage. Whoever she's with turned it off and.. and..." His brows wrinkled as he glanced down at my plate. "You're eating cereal." "Join me?" I grabbed the pack and gently shook it. "There's milk in

REBECCAI stepped back, allowing his hand to hang in the air, my face tingling from his earlier touch and I sucked my lower lip between my teeth as his words were a dull reminder of Oliver's proposal.Why did everyone think I needed saving? When did I turn into a sorry case-- goodness me! I can't stand these men thinking they could just offer a hand and I'd take it."I won't be the case for your promotion, Detective Theo," I said harshly, glaring at him as his eyes danced with a dash of amusement.He suddenly laughed, shaking his head softly , paused in between and laughed again like I was tickling his ribs."I mean it, Theo. If this is what this is about, then take me back to the hospital right now.""Calm down, Rebecca. It must be tiring always jumping to conclusions."I turned my face away and would have stormed off if I knew the way back but apparently I was stuck here with him.But I still got up in an attempt to walk out to get some fresh air when he grabbed my wrist."Let go."

REBECCA I followed after him and got in his car, keeping my eyes down, afraid to be seen by anyone. It was a pretty short drive-- too short for us to get home so soon. I looked out the window and saw we had stopped by a restaurant- He started to get down from the car. "W-Wait! What are we doing here?" I asked in fear but his silence rang volumes. "I'm not hungry-" "Get down, Rebecca." He knew I shouldn't be seen with him in public. It'll only start the rumours again. I couldn't allow myself to be dragged into that messed up situation anymore. The press had been silent for days now. "Please, let's just go home. I'll cook dinner-" "That offer ended when I called your damn phone over and over," he looked behind his shoulders, narrowing his eyes. "Get down. Now." He was trying to punish me in one of the ways I feared the most. "Please," I tried again. "At least give me something to cover my face with. I can't…" The horror was playing right before my eyes, the headlines, the pre
