A Fulfilled Promise of Mr CEO

The Rise Of The Ugly Luna

Syra Tucker

Lyric had spent her life being hated. Bullied for her scarred face and hated by everyone-including her own mate-she was always told she was ugly. Her mate only kept her around to gain territory, and the moment he got what he wanted, he rejected her, leaving her broken and alone. Then, she met him. The first man to call her beautiful. The first man to show her what it felt like to be loved. It was only one night, but it changed everything. For Lyric, he was a saint, a savior. For him, she was the only woman that had ever made him cum in bed-a problem he had been battling for years. Lyric thought her life would finally be different, but like everyone else in her life, he lied. And when she found out who he really was, she realized he wasn't just dangerous-he was the kind of man you don't escape from. Lyric wanted to run. She wanted freedom. But she desired to navigate her way and take back her respect, to rise above the ashes. Eventually, she was forced into a dark world she didn't wish to get involved with.

Adrian’s POV

I am Alexandrian Romano. A well-known successful businessman and known for being a good man. There was also a rumor that I am having an affair with my personal assistant. But, it’s just a rumor.

Women say that my facial features were almost beautiful. My sharp eyes are deep and expressive like an eagle. And my lips are luscious as if inviting for a kiss. With a muscular body that looks perfectly on black pants made of expensive fabric and a suit made by a well-known brand, I am indeed a dashing six feet bachelor.

“What is my schedule today?” I asked Mary Ann, my personal assistant.

“Sir, today you’re going to interview the applicants for my position,” Mary Ann responded.

“When is your last day?” I asked as we enter the lift.

“In two months, sir,” she answered back.

“Hopefully, we can get someone who would be worthy to be your replacement,” I said with a shake of my head.

“I’m sure there is,” Mary Ann said.

“You are so confident to answer me, you truly want to leave me,” I replied and gave her a pleading look.

She scoffed. “Don’t tell me that you don’t understand the purpose of my living?”

“I know! You are getting old, and you want a family,” I said, and we laughed. “Am I younger than you?”

The woman shook her head. “No, I am older than you.”

We went straight to my office without looking at the long line of the applicants in the hallway. I sat on my chair and pressed the intercom to speak. I told my secretary to bring me coffee. When she came in, I instructed her to call the first applicant for an interview.

Mary Ann was my personal assistant since I became the CEO of Romano Corporation. She’s been with me for six years, and she’s like a big sister to me. Now, she’s resigning because she got engaged with my best friend, John.

John is only one year older than me and the same age as Mary Ann. He courted Mary Ann for more than a year. And after three years of being in a relationship, they decided to get married.

Now, Alexandrian, the CEO of Romano Corporation, has to find a new personal assistant to fill all Mary Ann’s duties.
