All Chapters of CEO Dante; The one for me : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Los Angeles was a very welcoming city. The people were extremely friendly and the weather wasn't harsh either. Just as the housing agency promised, in two days I had gotten an apartment that fit my preference and budget. It was a two bedroom apartment on the third floor of a five storey building. It wasn't really big but it was convenient for me, the view from the balcony was really beautiful as well. I didn't have to do much because the apartment was fully furnished already, all I had to do was a bit of cleaning and I moved in my luggage. My remaining stuff from Marcus's house hadn't arrived yet. Jess told me she was informed it would take almost a month to get here. On the first night of my arrival to Los Angeles, I took out time to submit my resumé on some job openings I saw online and I got back an email from one out of almost twenty I applied for. It was a record label, not what I had typically hoped for but I had no other options. I had to prepare very well for the interview b

“Have a seat, Sienna” CEO Dante offered, and he was sounding rather polite, which seemed surprising to me. I took a seat without any further talk. Silence engulfed the room for a moment and there he was again, staring directly into my eyes and I couldn't look away. His eyes were so charming, I couldn't resist but look back into them. His stare was uncomfortable but soothing at the same time, it threw me into my wildest fantasies. “Here you go”, he said, dumping an envelope on the table. I was hit with an immediate flashback of the night with Marcus, the divorce papers and all that. I took deep breaths to ease off but I couldn't help it. Everything felt fresh in my heart again, I felt a tear drop down from my eyes and I immediately wiped it off with the back of my sleeve hoping Dante hadn't noticed but it was too late. He was looking at me, but this time, concerned. “Are you alright?”he asked, reaching out to hold my hand on the table. “Yes sir, I'm very fine thank you”, I respon

“You are such a beautiful young lady, my son is really lucky to have you in his life”, Dante's mom said as we walked off to the shore of the beach. I was completely trapped in my head, praying to not do or say anything wrong. I was worried she'd ask me questions that I wouldn't be able to give answers to considering the extremely short period of time I've known Dante. “You see dear, I was always scared my son would end up alone as he always wanted, it would have broken my heart to see him do that. He may not tell you this, but Dante had a very odd childhood and that affected him badly” “Odd? How so?” I asked, interrupting her as she spoke. “Oh yes, it's something I can never be proud of, but Dante's father used to be a very short tempered man and whenever he was mad about something he would always take it out on me, it was really terrible having my little boy witness all of that and growing up as a teenager, I observed that my son had taking some traits of anger from his father”

I got back to the room with a first aid kit and Dante wasn't there anymore. I looked in the closet and he wasn't there either. I thought he may have gone into the bathroom but there was no sign of him there. I placed the first aid kit on the drawer and went to the balcony to check if he was there. “Melinda, I don't want to have this conversation with you anymore. I will tell you where to meet me tomorrow, you can't be coming to my house anymore, I have a wife now and I most certainly don't want any trouble with her or my mother” I heard him say over the phone.‘Who is Melinda?’ I wondered. I stayed away from him patiently waiting for him to finish up his call so I could tell him to come in so I could clean his wound properly.“Melinda, I am not going to argue with you about this. I'll see you tomorrow, Goodnight” he said and dropped the call. As he turned to come back in, he was startled after seeing me standing there. “Why are you out here?” He asked“Umm I was just looking for y

Sunlight flashed across my face announcing the break of dawn. I turned to see that Dante had gotten out of bed already. A sweet aroma came from the kitchen and the smell of freshly baked pie aroused an appetite in me. I quickly slipped into my flip flops, put my robe on and headed to the kitchen to see what was going on. “Hey, goodmorning, hope your night was great?” Dante asked, lifting his gaze off for a second from the scrambled eggs he was cooking. I'm“Yea my night was alright”, I responded hesitantly with my eyes scanning all over the kitchen. “Have a seat”, he offered and came to pull out a chair for me. “Oh- thank you”, I said with surprise in my tone. I wasn't expecting the gesture from him. I wasn't expecting any of it generally. He was wearing grey sweatpants with the apron hung over his bare chest. I couldn't ignore how good he looked with his curly hair laying all over his face. “Looking good this morning,” I said unconsciously. “Hmm don't I always look good?”That
