The CEO’s Hidden Heir

Chapter5

Alexander could feel her breathing heavily into his skin. He knew that he was inviting him. He knows this body as much as he knows his own body. He placed a hand on her waist and ran it through her back. She felt a warm chill causing her to vibrate. f**k! She missed this body. She touched his chest, feeling him down to his abs.

Their lips met, and they kissed softly and slowly. As the kiss deepened, she could feel his erection poke her. He pushed her gently on the couch and continued. He kissed her neck and continued down. She wrapped her legs around him as weakness took over her. She reached to unbutton his shirt one button at a time. He took this as a signal to take a step further. He reached to unzip her jeans, but she held her hands.

“Take me to bed.” She moaned softly.

Alexander lifted her as she put her legs around his pelvis. Their gaze met again, and she held his neck in her mouth to reach for his mouth as he walked into the bedroom.

He carefully removed her pants, throwing them into the air. He took his mouth to her n****e, making her moan heavily. He pinned his hand to hers as they both seemed to lose control, and he entered the promised land.

Alexander woke up the next day lying next to Isabella. Looking in her beautiful eyes, he was reminded of the good old days they both spent together.

He thought about the night's experience and smirked. He felt a surge of happiness knowing that he had now met with his son and that he was beginning to be on good terms with his wife again. Nothing feels better than that.

He got a call from his assistant regarding the meeting for the morning, and he quietly left the house.

Alexander was sitting in the office when Isabella suddenly barged in, looking furious.

“Hey baby, what’s up…”

“Don’t even dare. Don’t baby me. I don’t believe you could ever do this to me.”

Confused, he squinted. He wasn’t expecting the attitude he was getting from the woman he had just had a nice night with.

“Oh, so you want to pretend you don’t know anything? I should have known. It’s what you always do. You are just so selfish and domineering. You think you can control me because I am a woman. You think I am weak. I won’t let that happen.

“What are you talking about?”

“You didn’t think that I would find out you are trying to buy my company. You think because you have money, you can do anything you like.”

She went closer to him, raising her hand to make a gesture. “Look at me very well. If you think I am still the weak woman you used to know, then you must be mistaken. I won’t allow you to ruin my years of hard work, all because of your selfish act.

She turned to exit the office and then stopped. “And don’t you ever come close to my son again.”

She jammed the door behind her, leaving Alexander in a confused state.

Alexander summoned his assistant, asking him to clarify what had happened.

“I sent the partnership proposal to her company and 4 others just like you proposed, and I think she misconstrued the whole thing to mean taking the company from her.”

“But how did that happen? Did you not explain the essence of the project?”

“I did. In fact, I went there myself to explain why her company was chosen and what she stands to gain. Surprisingly, she seemed to like the idea after I conveyed it to her. I don’t know what really changed.”

Alexander expressed worry over the issue. His only aim has always been to make her a better person, but each time he does anything to make her happy. It doesn't end well.

He remembered what happened five years ago. It was their anniversary, and he had closed the office early to celebrate with his wife. But his ex-fiancée, Tracy, who dumped him for another man, ruined the day.

He met Tracy at a time when he was innocent and sweet, and she took advantage of this softness. She took his money and walked away without looking back, leaving him broken. That was when he understood that women were not to be shown too much care and love. Rather, men should show they are domineering; this is the only way they can call for respect from women.

This was the ideology he adopted when he met Issabella. He saw her as a woman with beauty and brain, a woman who was ambitious and who would stop at nothing to get what she wanted, but he was afraid she could be another Tracy. Despite loving her, he wasn't ready to lose his guard. He couldn't let another woman toy with his emotions, and then decided to be tough. He would rather be controlling than be controlled.

That day, he bumped into Tracy accidentally at a flower shop. Unknown to him, she had staged the meeting. She apologised for everything she did to him, adding that he was threatened by her ex to do what she did.

She faked tears, and Alexander fell for it. She told him she had turned a new leaf and begged for his forgiveness.

“Can I buy you a drink?” she asked, trying to sound polite.

“No, you don't have to do that.”

She squeezes her face. “Does that mean you haven't forgiven me yet?

“I have forgotten all about it; trust me, we are good.”

“If you are so sure, then you will let me buy you a drink.” She winked. “Just one glass, please.”

They went to get a glass of wine, and then one glass became two, and two became three. They went on and on until he was no longer himself.

He checked the time and realised it was late. He stood up to leave, but he staggered and then felt some form of weakness. It was at that moment that he realised he had been drugged. He is not one to get high on a few bottles.

Tracy offered to take him home, pulled off his clothes, and slept beside him on his bed, making it seem as though they had s*x.

Isabella returned home that day, hoping to return to beautiful flowers and gifts as part of their anniversary celebrations. That’s the least she expected from a man she had continued to show love to and had given up her life for. Since she got married to him, she stopped being ambitious, as she became more submissive to her husband.

She, however, got the biggest surprise of her life when she returned home and found him alongside another woman lying naked on their bed.

She became shattered as pain ripped her heart. She couldn’t believe she had sacrificed so much, including her ambition, for this man. Despite being cold towards her, she had shown nothing but love and care, and this is what she gets in return.

Tears flowed down her face as she regretted being soft. She learnt her lessons, never to be so soft again. But by then, she was already pregnant. She went into his study room. Picked a document containing a business idea he was building. He looked around and also found a briefcase containing millions of dollars.

That night, she ran with her child growing inside of her. She vowed never to return until she becomes successful and proves to him that she is not one to be used and discarded.
