The Playboy CEO

~°~°~°~°~°~ An accidental marriage. A drunken mistake, or a premeditated plan for revenge? Amaria doesn’t know what to make of her new situation, and due to unforeseen circumstances, she is trapped. Forced to accept her fate until the time is right, a typically reserved executive finds herself at a crossroad between following logic, and giving in to her bleeding heart. The man she calls her husband does not make it easy for her either, but however she decides to look at it, she reaches the same conclusion. A conclusion that breaks her heart. As for him? Well, it’s up to him to decide what he’ll do with this new mess he’s stuck in, and whether he'll pursue a happy future with his wife rather than let her go as he had once upon a time. [WARNING: the male and female lead in this story have a complicated relationship with oftentimes toxic elements. The second volume of this story will see to their personal growth as they learn what it means to be in healthy relationships.]

The Office

The office had been quiet all day, and it felt like Hugo had avoided looking at me for too long for most of the day. My initial thought was that he thought about me the same way everyone else had, but then I realised he was probably scared of my irritability levels when I caught him flinching the moment I picked up my stapler. 

"Hugo, is there something wrong?" I handed him a clipboard with the latest reports for him to file. "You've been avoiding my presence for most of the day." 

My assistant looked guarded for a second, but after raising my eyebrow, he spilled. "You looked distressed when you came in so I didn't want to disturb you because I thought that maybe it was something I did, but after everything you've been through I don't blame you for being upset so—"

"Okay okay, slow down, I get it," he looked embarrassed, so I tried my best to ease his anxiety. "Thank you for volunteering to be working overtime today." 

"No problem, it's my pleasure."
