The CEO’s Doting Addictions Chapter 1 1

Elvira Duncan blinked and slowly squeezed her eyes opened . Her head felt numb and her body was paralyzed.

She couldn't move her body as swiftly as she wanted.Because of this, a lone tear streamed down her cheeks.

Waking up from a coma after such a long time, she was bound to feel this way.

She got hit by a car,a week ago while trying to save her boyfriend, Jack Morris from an accident.

The accident was so severe that she fell into coma and the doctors lost hope of her full recovery.

However, a miracle happened and she opened her eyes within just a week.

Elvira and Jack met a few years ago while working on jewelry design contest in college .They quickly clicked and fell in love.

The couple planned to get married in two weeks.However, Elvira went into a coma before then.

Thinking of how Jack handled her accident while taking care of the company,she felt pity for him.

She simply wanted to get up to get things done for the upcoming Jewelry Design competition which will change their lives forever .

Winning this competition,will ensure that Jack get his hands on his family's inheritance as well as mark his influence in the industry.

She didn't want him to miss this chance because of her.

She wanted to make sure that Jack wins the contest.

Just as she attempted to move her body,Elvira heard familiar voices drawing closer to her room.

Elvira quickly laid back on the bed and pretended to still be asleep.

"Jack,I can't wait any longer,let's just get married already.How long are you going to continue waiting for this vegetable?"

The voice belonged to Chloe Miller.She was Elvira's best friend.

They have been friends since first years in college.Elvira took it upon herself to help her pass out in flying colors.

When Elvira heard these words.She was immediately disheartened

Elvira couldn't believe that her best friend was truly having an affair with her fiancé .

"You told me that you didn't love her.How come you are still not married to me? If you continue like this,then I'm going to break up with you.Jack,I'm serious,if you don't get a marriage certificate with me tomorrow,I'll end my life!"

Chloe continued in a stern voice.Her eyes was teary and she looked serious.

"I'm going to become the best designer in Horington city after my new design wins an award.It will announce my status in the industry and tons of opportunities will come knocking on our doors.Why would you still need her?

"Celestial Group is going to become the top company in the entire Horington city after you won the contest in two days.You will also become a top designer.With this new status,we can be rest assured that we can take a leap without fear"

"However,how can we achieve this feat without Elvira? She is our golden ticket.Think! Get your mind to work,Chloe!" Jack held her hands and said,while looking into her eyes.

Chloe was speechless for a couple of seconds.It looked as if her sense organs had been struck by reality.However,the next splitting second,she angrily flung Jack's hands away.

She pushed him away and pointed her fingers at his face and said,"Do you take me for a fool? How is Elvira of any help to us? She is just a vegetable.She can't do anything"

Chloe looked at Elvira,lying helplessly on the bed as she uttered those words.

"This is all your fault.It was your fault that Elvira got into the accident.You shouldn't have hired those men to attack her in the first."

Jack Morris glared angrily at Chloe.

The sound of his voice echoed through the room and Elvira went numb upon hearing these words.

"If you hadn't hurt her then she would have been well and hearty.Infact,she would have completed the final touch of the designs."

"Not only that,we would gotten the final products of her designs.Now,we are stuck in this situation,thanks to you."

Jack looked frustrated.He glared furiously at Chloe.

"Wait,are you blaming me? I did everything because I loved you.I didn't want her getting in between us.How could you blame me for this? Moreover,she is not even aware that I sent those men"

"Look here,Jack,you and I know that Elvira is not smart enough to decipher the reality before her.She won't even think that I would do such a thing to her."

"Of course,she can't think of it because I made it look like my rivals were after me and she took the fall for me."

Jack said as his eyes darted towards Elvira.

"Tell me,is that the reason you refuse to marry me? Have you suddenly fallen in love with her since she became your super heroine?"

Chloe asked,her expression changed.

"Not again,Chloe! I told you,we still need her to grow the status of the company"

"Alright,we still need her but that didn't stop us from getting married behind the scenes,right?"

Chloe blinked her eyes and looked at Jack seductively.

"Are you being serious? What if she finds out when she wakes up? We'll be at a dead end"

"You worry too much for a brilliant mind.Elvira is not smart enough to detect"

Chloe was so sure about it.

"Fine,let's get the marriage certificate first thing tomorrow morning.After that,I'll ask the doctor to force Elvira into an inducement"

Jack said and his eyes glow with eeriness.

Elvira gritted her teeth and widened her eyes wishing she could stand up and beat up the shameless couple.

The tone of their voices sent anger down her throat and she felt terribly nauseated.

She clenched her fists so tightly that it ended up digging deep into her palms and blood oozes.

Doing this,she tried to suppress the anger in her chest and tried to avert the desire to walk up to them right then.

She never expected that her whole life will end up like this!

Elvira Duncan came to the limelight three years ago after winning the Fame Jeweler Competition

Because of this,her popularity sprang out through out the country and she got many opportunities.

Many notable companies in Horington offered her employment opportunities,including one from Ethereal Jewelry.

However,she was too busy helping out Jack Morris.So,she rejected all the offers that came her way.

She was so engrossed with helping Jack grow the branch of the Morris Group -Celestial Jewels that was given to him as part of his growing up test that she lost track of things.

Two years she was ousted from a contest when someone accused her of plagiarism.

The entire world criticized and made fun of her efforts.She searched the entirety of her designs but she couldn't find a fault with her work.

Jack Morris,was by her side at this time.

Jack proposed that Elvira worked behind the scenes while Chloe attended the competitions and get the credits.

She thought that Jack loved and valued her presence that was why he wanted her to take charge of things.

However,she was just another puppet in their hands.

The audacious couple has been lovesick while she took the force upon herself to help Jack grow the business without any help from the two of them.

Suddenly,she found that she had been fooled by them

Thinking about,made her dwell in self mockery as it occurred to her that the signs were there.

Being fretful for quite a long time.Elvira finally heard the footsteps of the slime ball and the vamp departing the room.

Thankfully,it was dead of the night.So,nobody could see that she was awake without coming closer.

Also,her ward room was farthest from the rest of the rooms in the hospital,it was safe for her to roam around without discovered.

She quickly stood up from the bed and frantically search through the bed stand.

Her lips coiled into a thin smile when she found her phone in the drawer.

It was a good thing that her phone didn't get damaged during the accident.

Elvira picked up the phone and searched through her contact lists.

"I need your help right now.Can you bring me a few documents from my house?"

Elvira said,immediately the call got connected.

"Wait,are you a ghost? Are you really awake now?

"I don't have much time.I'll send you the details of the items I need"

Elvira hung up the phone after that and sat down on the bed with tears in her eyes.

"This is the last time,I'll cry for you.Now,I'll make you two cry"

One Night With The Wrong Brother

I thought I was waking up in the arms of Arthur, the man I loved. But as the morning light hit the Hamptons estate, the man buttoning his cuffs by the window turned around with eyes like chips of ice. It was Augustus Riddle, Arthur’s cruel younger brother, and I had just spent the night whispering confessions of love into the wrong man's ear. The night I thought was a beautiful beginning turned into a devastating nightmare. Instead of comfort, Gus treated me like a stain on his expensive carpet, scribbling a check for "services rendered" before shoving me into a dark service corridor to hide my existence from his brother. "How much does it cost to buy your silence?" He sneered, before leaving me barefoot in a torrential downpour while he drove away in a luxury Cadillac. Four years later, I am a struggling actress in Los Angeles, working double shifts as a barista just to keep the lights on. My life was finally stable until my roommate dragged me to a high-end dinner to meet her new "influential" boyfriend. The man sitting at the table, looking more arrogant and lethal than ever, was Augustus. He spent the entire night humiliating me, calling me a pathetic amateur and a social climber in front of my only friends. When I fled into the rain and collapsed on the sidewalk, skinning my knee until I bled, he watched from his car. He saw me clutching a plastic baggie containing the taped-together pieces of that four-year-old check—the only proof of my shame. He looked at me like roadkill, rolled up his window, and drove off into the dark. I couldn't understand why he was doing this. Why did he hate me enough to crush me, yet remember that I couldn't handle the smell of cigarette smoke? Why did he leave me bleeding in the street, only to send expensive medical supplies and coffee to my door the very next morning? "I'm moving out." I told my roommates, realizing that Gus Riddle didn't just want to destroy me; he wanted to haunt me. I grabbed my suitcase and walked out with eighty dollars to my name, finally ready to disappear into the city before he could burn the rest of my life to the ground.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.
