Claiming the Ruthless CEO

Lilith

“In my office, now!”

Rage flashed in my manager's eyes as he gritted his teeth menacingly, storming into his office, leaving me trembling as fear blasted me.

“Seems you are in big trouble,” my colleague whispered in my ear in a sing-song manner that made me even more terrified.

The manager's office was like a lion's den. Everyone dreaded it.

Dragging my feet reluctantly in the direction of his office, I wiped my sweaty palms on my skirt before turning the knobs.

Pushing the door open, I felt my soul flew out of my body as my heart pounded hard against my ribs.

“You…sent for me, Sir,” I stammered, swallowing the bile of fear in my throat as my eyes were pinned on the floor.

My eyes remained on the tiled floor for a few minutes as weird sounds flew past my ears.

I jolted in fear the moment I heard the chair move noisily.

It wasn't until I lifted my head out of curiosity that a horrid look descended on my face, making my jaws drop to the floor.

Biting my lips hard, I fought against the urge to puke as the image of my manager standing pants down with his erect junk pulsating angrily at my face kept replaying in my head.

I tore my eyes away instantly, retreating toward the door slowly until my back was against it.

“Like what you see?”

I remained motionless like a statue, struggling to keep calm as his eyes undressed me.

“You are gonna ride me, or you are just gonna stare like a dummy?” He flared, anger oozing out of him

“This is disgusting, manager!” I fired, unable to keep up with his irritating act.

For months, he had been trying to get into my pants, just like he did to the other female colleagues.

A burst of wicked laughter tore off his throat as he banged his fist hard against the table.

“Your life is about to be disgusting!”

I remained mute, snaking my hands to the doorknob to flee in case he tried something nasty.

“If you walk away from this office, forget about your job and salary, but most importantly, don't forget the long unending list of your sister and mother's medical bills. You won't survive without this job, Lilith,” he paused briefly, his eyes gawking at me.

“If you know what is best for you, you better get on this chair and ride your way into your promotion, or else, I will make your life disgusting!”

Shutting my eyes as his cruel words crashed on me like a bulldozer, I felt my heart squeeze in pain.

“I am sorry, Sir, I can't.” I didn't wait for his reaction before dashing out of his office as fast as my weak legs could carry me.

There was no doubt he was going to push hard for my termination, but the decision lies with the boss.

Maybe I would be given a second chance. Goddess knows how much I needed my salary and incentives badly, especially when I had to take care of my mother and my sister's chemotherapy.

It's another week, and the doctor will be expecting tons of cash for their treatment.

It was like the bills were never going to end.

Clutching my bag tightly, I hugged my small frame as a heavy whoosh of wind flew in my direction.

Cold seeped into my skin, and before I could get under cover, the cloud grew dark and lightning scattered all over the sky. Thunder clapped noisily, and it didn't take long before droplets of rain descended on me.
