LUST LOVE: Slave To The Billionaire CEO

Later that day, Derrick drove her home, she didn’t resist and just let him. There was no Keane to ride her back home anyway.

Sitting in the car lost in thought, Smiles was brought back to reality by Derrick’s baritone voice.

“Here we are!” He informs me. She nods and pushes on the door.

“Sure you’re ok?” He asked. He noticed her silence all through their ride home and it got him worried.

She nods before saying ‘yes’ but her face says otherwise.

Not wanting to bug her anymore, he nods, waves her goodbye, and kicks off.

She was left alone standing, her once dry eyes were now clouded with tears threatening to fall.

Since she heard about Keane having a girlfriend, she’s been feeling uneasy inside. She just didn’t know how to feel about it, all she knows is that she was hurt by the news.

When she entered the mansion, the butler was climbing down the stairs. They met but she didn’t say a word and headed upstairs to her room.

Only then could she cry out, not too loud though.

The room was ghost-silent, she was no longer crying as she stared at nothing in particular.

Wasn’t she supposed to be happy that he’s got someone and can finally let go of her? Wasn’t this all that she wished for since the very beginning? Why was she now hurt?

Yes, she was the one who wished for him to find someone so he would let go of her but it was then, that everything changed the moment she fell for him without realizing it, the moment her heart started beating at the sight of him and at the feel of his feather-like touch on her body sending new and sweet sensation through her veins and nerves. Everything changed the moment she felt his soft pink lips on hers, causing a rush of electricity throughout her body.

But when was that? No one can respond to that as she couldn’t tell when and how she fell for him.

Bracing herself, She was willing to stay strong as ever, doing what was right for him ’cause that’s the only way she can get his attention.

The next day at work, she gathers some files she’s from working on heading to Keane’s office. It’s a Friday and she’s supposed to give a detailed report on the company’s activities and expenditures throughout the week and that she was dutiful to.

It took her a little while to reach as her office is on the third floor. Thanks to the elevator, it was made easier for her.

She knocked on the door but there was no response inside, deciding to go in, she pushed open the door and entered. Her steps froze at the sight of Keane with a lady sitting on his thigh, kissing.

The way he was kissing her was unlike how he does it with her. He was so gentle, holding her as if she were the most fragile thing that he was not willing to break.

Her eyes sting at the sight of them making out, she lowers her head trying so hard not to let a tear drop down. She couldn’t move, it was like her feet were rooted to the floor unable to move.

A dissatisfied expression forms on Keane’s face at the sight of her standing by the door.

“Who fuckin gave you permission to barge into my office?” He asked. His voice was surprisingly low, and cold, making Smiles tremble in fear. The tears that she was trying to hold all these while came falling, wetting the files in her hands.

“I- I am sorry…I, I…the report” She could hardly form a word as she kept trembling in fear.

He’s always been cold to her but today was different, there was so much in those words of his that came piercing right to her soul, killing her being.

She didn’t dare raise her head, and just kept her head down.

“Who is she, Keane?” Lisa’s tiny voice came. The chills in the room died immediately at her question.

Keane turns to her, his gaze is soft and tender as he rubs her cheeks, pulling her attention to him.

He places a light kiss on her lips and rubs on it with his tombs.

“No one important…just a …” he pauses and glances at Smiles.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Worker” he completed. Lisa nods and glances at Smiles one last time before turning back to him.

“Right,” Smiles thought to herself, crying. She’s nothing to him, she’s never been and never will she. She blames her stupid self for falling for him even after knowing the truth behind their closeness.

“Worker, right!” she thought. That’s who she is to him, just a worker, no one important.

“Why is she just standing there?” Lisa’s confused voice came. She’s been trying to see who she is but couldn’t because she lowered her head.

“Leave!!!” Keane commands. Smiles didn’t wait for another second and quickly closed on the door behind.

Her hands were trembling, not in fright but in pain. Inside the elevator, she couldn’t help but cry. Her fate is cursed when it comes to love, no one will ever love her for who she is, unless she learns to love herself.

Her heart aches but she could do nothing but hope for the better.

Bracing up herself, she wipes away her tears. There is no need to cry over a lost sheep, she should move on and try looking for a different one,

That’s only if she can move on ’cause right now, she seems to be stuck.
