REBORN AS THE CEO’s DIVA

The morning after.

Zoey woke up in a bed that wasn’t hers. She woke up to white sheets, black walls and the smell of Ethan. Her Golden Globes award was on the nightstand, next to a gun.

It wasn’t Adrian’s gun but Ethan’s.

She sat up fast and the sheet fell. f**k! She was naked.

“Morning, Zee.”

Ethan stood by the window with no shirt on, just his suit pants from last night. He watched her with a cup of coffee in his hand.

“You didn’t let me go home.” Zoey said with a rough voice.

“You said take me home,” he sipped his coffee. “And this is home, sunshine.”

Her phone was blowing up with calls, messages and tags.

She opened i********: and the first video she saw was the shooting video.

VIDEO: ADRIAN GREYHOUND TRIES TO SHOOT ZOEY WALKER AT THE GOLDEN GLOBES AND ETHAN COLE SAVES HER.

The video had two million plus views in 6 hours.

“The police are downstairs,” Ethan said. “They want a statement.”

Zoey scanned the room and found Ethan’s shirt on the floor. She put it on, and his smell was all over her.

“Did Adrian…” she stopped. “Did he shoot anyone?”

“No.” Ethan walked to her and put the cup of coffee in her hand. “The security guards took him down before he could, he’s in a cell right now.”

She drank the coffee and her hands started shaking from anger, she was filled with so much rage.

“Good,” she put the cup down. “I want to see him.”

“No.” Ethan’s voice was hard and firm. “You’re not going anywhere near him again.”

“I’m not Sophia anymore, Ethan.” She looked up at him. “I don’t run away from men who hit me, I simply end them.”

He tightened his jaw and nodded. “After the doctor and police checks you, then we go end him together.”

Knock.

The police, doctor and lawyer all came to Ethan’s penthouse because Ethan did not want to let Zoey leave for a moment.

The doctor checked her and there were no bruises or cuts, she was fine but just tired.

The doctor left and the police and lawyer came in.

The police asked her some questions and she told them every single detail, to how Adrian had been hitting her for years and how he even tried to kill her last night.

The lawyer recorded every single detail she had explained.

When they left, Ethan locked the door and put the key somewhere far away.

“Now,” he said. “Clause 12b.”

Zoey’s heart jumped a bit. “But, we just…”

“Had a man try to kill you.” He walked slowly towards her. “Had 200 cameras film it. Had all of New York see me step in front of a bullet for you.”

He pushed her back on the bed, gently.

“So, no more ‘not yet’, Zee.” His face was already in her neck at this point.

“You won what was yours and I collected what was mine, but guess what? I’m not done collecting.”

She grabbed his hair and pulled him up to look at her.

“Clause 12b?,” she said. “Is all night, all day, no work, no phone, just us.”

Something flickered in his eyes but it went dark almost immediately.

“Deal.”

Her phone buzzed again with a message, but this time, from an unknown number.

TEXT: You think you have won? Lol, I have one last secret, Sophia. Ask your darling CEO about NEW YORK 2019. —M

Zoey froze in shock and she tried hiding the shock but Ethan caught it.

“What’s wrong?”

She deleted the text and gave him a fake smile.

“Nothing serious, just blogs, you know?”

She pulled him down and kissed his neck.

“Where were we?”

Of course she was happy at the moment but her mind couldn’t ignore the message. Her mind was racing very fast.

“New York 2019?” She thought to herself.

What does Mia know and most importantly, what did Ethan do?
