Semua Bab MR CEO, I DON'T WANT YOU BACK: Bab 1 - Bab 10

MILENA'S POV4 YEARS LATERI've fought to survive for four years, but now, the only battle that matters is the one my son is losing.The doctors say there's nothing left to do, but I didn't survive hell just to bury my son.“Miss Carter?” The sound of the doctor behind me snapped me out of my daze and I turned around, a small smile on my face.“Doctor Gareth” I walked over to him, my boots clicking against the tiled floor as I extended a hand to shake his outstretched hand.He took my hand firmly in his and his skin around his eyes crinkled with the large smile he gave me. I wished I could share the same happiness with him but instead, I donned the fake smile I had learnt over the years.The one that kept the media happy. The one that made people think that I was fine and not about to drive my heels into my head.“Shall we? Theo is in the playroom right now alone. He'll be fine, okay? You don't have to stand around here waiting till his time is up. Let's have a talk, hm?” Dr Gareth ge

MILENA'S POVI surveyed the room in one quick glance, taking note of the shocked faces of everyone in the room while my assistant Dora smiled at me, her arms folded across her body from where she stood.“My apologies for my late arrival. The press was an obstacle” I smiled, ignoring everyone's blatant look of shock before I sauntered over to a chair by the side where I could sit and overlook the meeting.Don't look, Milena. Don't look. From the corner of my periphery though, I could see Damien standing there, his mouth slightly open and a blank look on his face, his eyes following my every move.Good.The others quickly cleared their throats and then one of them whose tag read Richard spoke up. “Milena, I wasn't expecting to see you here. None of us were”Dora was at my side, handing me the tab in her hands so I could scroll through the presentation but at Richard's words, I paused my scrolling and scoffed. “That's Miss Carter to you, Richard” I said blankly, handing Dora back the tab

MILENA'S POVThere was silence for what felt like eternity but was probably only just a minute.The sound of the bustling environment faded into nothing as we stared at each other.My lips were slightly parted and I tried to understand what he had just said. I tried. I really tried but instead of an answer, a laugh forced it's way past my lips.My eyes crinkled at the corners as I laughed then the smile was wiped off my face in mere seconds. "Are you fucking kidding me?"He rubbed the back of his neck, looking everywhere but me. "Lena. You know I wish I was but you and I both know that we can't do it how you think…"I hated the fact that he was right."I would take the risk if I could but…" He paused and shook his head, defeat crossing his features.Easy for him to say.Without thinking, I stepped forward and poked him in the chest with my finger. "Do you think for one second that I would ever get married to you again?" I hissed, my voice low.He didn't flinch, he matched my gaze and

DAMIEN'S POV 11:59am.It was almost noon and I think I was about to lose my mind as I sat down in my office, my hand under my chin as I tapped my feet incessantly against the floor.What could I do?The memories from the hospital came rushing back and I wanted to just hit my head against the wallㅡ Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. That's what I was.There was a knock on the door and I immediately sat up, hoping it would be my lawyer that I had called to see me but instead, it was my assistantㅡMiss Samantha.She walked over to my desk, a file in her hand and a smile on her face that never seemed to waver. She gently dropped it on my table and nodded to it.“For you, Mr Hale” She nodded to it. “We received it from the board this morning and it said urgent so I immediately had to come deliver it to you”With a sigh, I pulled the binded documents together and flipped it open, my eyes scanning through the words on it, each word seeming to annoy me as the meaning dawned on me.I dropped it back to t

MILENA'S POV The car ride back to the hotel was quiet and Dora sat beside me, her gaze fixed on the iPad in her hand but I could swear that I felt her gaze burning into the side of my head each time I looked outside the window.I wasn't sure why I was bothered. Damien was still with Siennaㅡ so what? Why would I care? Why was I this angry about it? Was it the fact that he conveniently managed to leave that out?Was he also planning something? There was no way he would propose a marriage contract to me when he was still with my sister. Maybe he wanted to humiliate me. Dangle what I needed most in my face then forcefully take it back after he had a day over Theo.No, I couldn't let that happen.“How did it go?” Dora finally asked, taking off her thin-rimmed glasses before turning to me.I shrugged and looked outside the window at the lights of the city's nightlife as we sped by.“Don't worry about it” I muttered, clearly not wanting to talk about it.She nodded and muttered something un
