Oops, I Married A CEO?

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Lucios’s POV

Leaving Zara’s apartment,I drove off with my bike to the hotel I am staying at. Dave has been calling me non-stop,he sometimes acts like my mother. I didn’t know walking around in disguise without my mask on would be so interesting and eventually it got me married. I walked to my hotel room and saw Dave looking all worried.

“I thought something happened to you man!! I called you all night and till now, you are not returning my calls..”I kept him mute allowing him to express himself while I got out of what I was wearing to have a perfect bath.

“You just told me you are acting as a delivery guy just last night so you can know the people working in the district headquarter before revealing yourself. What will your mother do if she finds her precious son walking around without a mask and sleeping in an unknown place throughout the night…” He kept talking,blah blah.

“Are you even listening to me? Gosh why do I have to watch over you?” He sounded so frustrated and I would say,he is the best friend I have. None can be like him even if he can be annoying most of the time.

“Of course I heard you,I need to bathe okay.” I tapped his shoulder with a smile and walked to the bathroom.

“Is that all you can say? You need to bathe…” I turned on the shower and he stopped talking. With the water running through my hair to my skin I remembered the few moments I spent with a total stranger who seemed to capture my interest. I have never been this close to a lady in my entire life,my mother doesn’t allow me to do a lot of this all because she says I am too handsome for anyhow people to have their gaze on me. She created a mask for me and I have been wearing it since I was a kid,so no one knows how I look, Just my parents and Dave with a few close relatives. My dad returned telling me he wants me to visit one of our district headquarters in New York that seems to be doing better. I really didn’t have time for it since I have my own business but as the son of my father,I can’t say no to him so It’s time to leave London. I just told him to give me time saying I want to watch them from afar before he can let the board know of my coming. I believe dad wants me to invest more because he knows anything I do yields results and profits. Yes I have my bad days but I learn from them. I always feel incomplete and knowing I will be far from mom, I thought about taking off the mask and acting as a delivery guy to see how the world is but I never knew I would end up running into Zara who became my wife out of the blue. She seems interesting..Her stubbornness, I think I like it..I think I will extend my days here a little before christmas day to get to know her. I smiled remembering how she watched me sleep this morning with her soft tender fingers on my lashes then to my body. I was feeling this high voltage of electricity when she touched my body. If I didn’t open my eyes, I guess I would have not been able to control what makes me a man.

“Are you dying in there?” A knock at the bathroom door followed by Dave's voice ruining my deep moment thinking about everything.

“Seems you will be happy if I am dead right?” I tease increasing my voice so he can hear me.

“Well I got some bad news for you,I won’t let you die,not yet okay..Anytime you die, I will resurrect you.” He said and I found it so funny.

I finally stepped out of the bathroom and found him looking at the diamond ring given to me by my wife, I grabbed it immediately from him, “Can you stop going through my stuff?”

“I have never seen you with such a ring, tell me what did you do last night?” I smiled looking at the ring, this is very dear to me now and I will never lose it.

“Hello!!!..” Dave waves his hands across my face trying so hard to get my attention.”What’s making you smile? Talk to me..is there something I must know? Don’t tell me you did something alarming that your mother will find out. This is New York…” He looked straight into my eyes and I just smiled.

“Oh no,I know that look, tell me Lucius,what happened last night?” he questioned and I know Dave so well, he is not going to stop pestering me until he finds out what happened, It’s best I just tell him about my whirl marriage with Zara or not.

“Mom is right.” I started applying lotion on my skin and wearing my simple outfit.

“About what?”

“That I am just too handsome.”

“JESUS CHRIST!!!!,can you just cut to the chase, you are killing me with suspense, tell me,what happened last night…” He screamed looking so impatient and wanting to know everything.

“I changed my mind,I am no longer telling you.” I just wanted to stall a little so I will reveal the truth gradually, this will be fun and he will say his usual lines, ‘I am doomed,your mom is going to skin me alive.’

“Oh please, just tell me,stop torturing me okay.”

“A lady gave it to me, that’s all I can tell you and if you will excuse me,I need to rest, get to work.”

“Whhh..wh..what? A lady gave you a diamond ring without affection? Are you lying to me? You are new in this town.. I should have kicked against the idea of you coming to New York to observe.”

“Why? Don’t a handsome young man like me deserve a ring?” I replied and he grumbled.

“You better be telling me the truth, and stay indoors till I return from running all errands,don’t go about exposing your face. Remember we are leaving tomorrow,I guess you are satisfied now with your disguise..” I ignored him and took out my main phone turning it on. I had to get another simple phone to blend with my disguise but now I am in my hotel room,I can just turn on my Iphone 16 pro max, the newest edition of apple product. As expected mom already sent so many messages which I have to reply with a lie. I remembered Zara saying she is popular on i********:, I decided to check her profile online and it turned out she is even following me online. What will be her reaction if she knows my identity? She has two million followers… Quite impressive!!!!

Yes,I am also on social media but I make some posts with my mask on sometimes while at the gym and the ladies will be screaming saying they can’t wish to behold the face on the mask. Unlike her,I don’t promote or do business with my account,it’s just there for fun and I already have twenty million followers. I went through her page and smiled seeing how she moves her lips while talking. I love how she rolls her eyes.

I decided to also get her a ring as our marriage gift. I already took note of her finger size and gave an order to the Smith’s to get me a perfect ring for someone dear but it should remain a secret between us.

Later in the evening when I got the ring,I thought of meeting up with her so I texted, “Hi wifey.”

Waiting for her response….She finally replied, “What is it?” So rude and sexy, I said to myself.

“Let’s have lunch, there is something I must give you.”

“Well, I am busy but I will think about it.” She went offline..What?? Did she just say she will think about it? Does she know who I am? No one has ever told me no or such before… Who does she think she is anyway?

I am going to her myself, I texted Dave saying I will be back later at night. I am giving her the ring myself and we are having lunch together as the couples that we are and I will not take no for an answer.

TBC.
