Mr. Ceo, You Lost My Heart Forever! Novels & Stories

My heart ached as if someone was squeezing it inside me. “Celeste,” I heard him uttering again. “I miss you, Celeste.” It weakens me. The next thing I knew, I was walking away from him, wearing a weak smile on my lips. itsclarixass

“Because I’m keeping you forever, Sade, I mean forever.” And in that quiet, sweaty, perfect moment, I believed him with every single piece of my heart.

Without me, his dream of becoming CEO would have ended a year ago. The chairman shook his head. "Whether you believe it or not, your removal is final." When Grant heard the decision a second time, disbelief gave way to red-eyed desperation.

I asked, looking up at her. The sadness in her eyes was still very much there, and it reminded me of my own pain regarding what she told me earlier. Indeed, she had been right. It was all over the news. “Ex-CEO and founder of the Silver Limited, Mr. Silver, had tragically passed on after suffering a crucial heart attack. Our condolences to his family at this grieving time.” That had been the news, but it wasn’t all of it.

His stern visage seemed to judge them from beyond the grave, a constant reminder of the man who had ruled their lives with an iron hand. "Breaking news," the anchor's voice cut through the quiet, drawing their attention back to the screen. "The CEO and proprietor of Otto Corporation, famous philanthropist and business magnate, Mr. Otto, has passed away. His death marks the end of an era for the company and his family." Amelia turned to Marvy, her face inscrutable. "So it’s official now." Marvy nodded, feeling a strange pang in her chest. She hadn’t loved him.. she had scarcely even liked him.. but hearing it stated so bluntly made it all the more real. "Yeah. It’s confirmed."

I just want this to be over. I cleared my throat. "Good morning everyone, thank you all for coming here," I greeted but no one responded. I sighed again. "This will be my last meeting with you in person and today we will be discussing the fate of the company during my time as CEO," I added. I saw how Tito Arthur's face turned sour and how my aunties were looking at each other ridiculously.

“Your money cannot buy your health, can it?” “Dahlia! Remember who you’re speaking to!” “Oh, I know who I’m speaking to! Someone who cares more about his wealth than those who care for him!” I spat. “I’m warning you!” “What will you do? Take the company from me? Do it!” I shouted, closing my eyes. I shouldn’t do this; he was on his deathbed. “You know I have no one else. You are all I have.” He said, his voice bitter. I had hit a nerve. Treating the company as if it was nothing to me. The very thing he loved dearly.

I stared at the screen for ten minutes, just breathing. I didn’t cry. I didn’t smile. I just… remembered. Remembered the nights I begged for that message and never got it. Remembered all the times I felt disposable, quieted, confused. And now that I was gone — now that I’d stopped chasing, stopped needing — he wanted to reach back out. Of course he did. That’s how it always works with people who only miss you when they can no longer control you. I showed the message to my friend.

She trailed, off smiling and pretending to be embarrassed at having to bring up such a topic. “It’s okay if you continue to call me Grandpa, I guess. It’s going to be weird for you to call me Dad this late in life. Listen, Christina, your mother might not have been the best mother in the world, and neither can we say that she ever made the best decisions that there are, but one thing I know for sure, and that was that she loved you very much.” Mr. Carter said by way of consolation, linking his arm with hers as they walked together away from the graveyard where her mother had just been buried, and surprising her. It had been long since he acted affectionately with her.

It means that we knew you disrespect her by having that affair with your secretary. Alright, mom, that is enough, he knows what he has done and doesn’t need to be reminded of it. Plus, did you forget that he had lost the mother of his child and the baby? What do you mean he lost them? Oh my goodness, I must have forgotten to tell you with all the wedding planning.
