Semua Bab Mr. CEO I can't Be Hidden Anymore : Bab 1 - Bab 10

AMAKA: It was my eighteenth birthday. I had just graduated from college, and Joseph was my boyfriend. He wouldn't leave me alone. Begging me and disturbing me to have sex. I had told him that I wanted to wait until after our marriage, but Joseph refused. He claimed that I did not love him enough, and that was why I didn't want to sleep with him. I agreed, and here I was in a hotel room with him. I am a shy, blonde girl and very fair in complexion, but Joseph was the opposite of my complexion. He was dark in complexion, taller than me, and very handsome. Joseph has short black hair, and I love him so much. Joseph Ericson came from a wealthy family here in Palazzo town, where we were living; my parents were average workers, and so we were considered not as well-off as Joseph's family. Joseph promised to marry me. He was 21 years old and a business student at the university, while I was still preparing to gain admission and to join him there. I had lied to my mother that I was goin

AMAKA: After I finished having my breakfast in the kitchen, I stepped out of the house and made my way outside of the compound. The house was a rented apartment, and Mrs. Ann did not own it. Luckily, as I got outside and on the busy road, I saw a yellow bus and got in. I sat beside a tall man who wore a black suit, and he smiled at me. I was too preoccupied to smile back, and after what Joseph had done to me, I limited smiling with any man. It was very painful that Joseph would break up with me. He should have told me that he wanted only sex and not like he wanted to marry me. I was a very decent girl in my area; the reason why I became a laughing stock by my peers who hadn't expected a good girl like me to become pregnant. I wiped my sobs away and kept my gaze focused on the road. The man who sat beside me spoke, "Hi, dear. I have paid your fare." "Huh!" I looked taken aback that a total stranger would help me clear my bill. As I looked at this man's face, I gulped. He's fair-s

AMAKA I continued working for the rest of the day, feeling Simon's gaze on me frequently. Why was he always looking at me? I pondered but didn't ask him. My phone rang, and I unlocked it to see that Maureen was calling. She had obviously taken Jason to school, but I didn't want to chat about Jason here. "Hello, dear. I'll call you back later," I told Maureen, and she replied, "Okay." I looked at Simon, who frowned and looked away. I didn't understand why he frowned, but then I heard the buzzer sound. "It's break time," Simon informed me, and I sighed. "Okay." I turned off my laptop and stood up from my chair. "I think we'll go to the cafeteria, right?" I asked Simon as he rose from his chair. "Yes, or you can request for your meal here," he smiled, and I smiled back. "Fine. I'm still new, so I'll go to the cafeteria." I exited Simon's office, taking a deep breath of fresh air, feeling relieved to be away from the surveillance. My day had been ruined by meeting my baby's

JOSEPH "Hey, sweetheart. I come to your house today after taking my work leave. As we plan on getting married, I tell my father, Senator Patrick Stanley, that I want to come and live with you and to get to know the man that I am going to marry," Nina says. My blood boils hot as I haven't expected Nina to show up in my house. "My house?" I ask her again, like I hear wrongly. "Yes, Joseph. Your house? I get the address from your mother. Although I know that I tell you we won't have sex until we are married, well, there are many other things that we can do, and that includes cooking for you. Accompanying you to your office to get to know more about you and to know if we are truly compatible to get married." "Besides, we are already engaged, and none of our families would be complaining. I am not supposed to be explaining all these to you," Nina says, sounding heartbroken in her tiny feminine voice, and I gulp. "Alright. I will get home soon. Are you sure that you are in my ho

Nina's View: "Hello, Mom," I say, walking up to the dining table to sit on one of the white chairs there. "Nina, how are you doing tonight? Has Joseph returned home from the office?" Mom asks, and I sigh heavily. "Yes, Mom. Joseph is back, and we are preparing to have our dinner now," I reply, and she asks me, "How does he react upon seeing you?" I draw a deep breath as I don't want to reveal to my mother that Joseph doesn't look happy on seeing me. Instead, I lie to her, "Mom, Joseph is surprised, but at the same time happy." As I say that, Tope steps out of the kitchen and looks at me in shock. She witnesses Joseph's reaction, and she knows that I am lying to my mother, but she doesn't say a word. Instead, she walks up to the dining table to serve the dinner there silently. "Okay, that's nice. I will call you back tomorrow as I want to have dinner with your father and brother now, and I don't want to keep them waiting. You should be a good woman to Joseph. Is he there with yo
