Taming Mr. CEO

“Mommy, you’re eating too much,” Aisle complained while we are having dinner. I glanced at her awkwardly before my eyes landed on his father sitting beside her. I didn’t know that Logan is also staring at me so I slowly put down the chicken I am holding and wiped out my lips before I drink on my glass casually.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“The foods were good that’s why… I love it,” I reasoned out and I heard Logan let out a sigh as he put another piece of chicken wings on my plate. I frowned at him but he just shrugged and turned his attention to Aisle.

After dinner, I have to read Aisle a bedtime story before I could go to my room. But as I walked in the hallway, I almost shout when an arm snaked around my waist followed by lifting me from the floor.

“Put me down, Logan!” I hissed, worried that I fell and the baby on my tummy might be put in danger. “Logan, put me down, the heck!” But he just continue walking until we reach my room. But it didn’t stop there, Logan still carried me in his arms until he laid me carefully on my bed.

He stared at my eyes, deep, intense, and desire is undeniably visible in his two orbs. And when he leaned forward, I gulped before I closed my eyes instead. But when I felt his lips touch mine down to my jaw, I instantly flinched and pushes him away. He looked at me with confusion, the desire I once see in his eyes is now replaced by his questioning stares.

“Why?” he asked but I lost my words to speak. “Is there’s something wrong?” he asked once again.

I shook and jumped off the bed to avoid his eyes and questions. “Uhm… I’m not in the mood, Logan… you better go back to your room.” I massage my neck.

He stood up harshly and walked over to me. When he is already towering over me, he held up my chin so I can look at him straightly. “Are you mad at me?” he asked.

“No, I am not…” I burst his hand away and go back to my bed. I covered myself with the thick mattress and forced myself to fall asleep but Logan didn’t allow me especially when he laid behind me and hugged me from behind. “Logan… please. I’m not in the mood to go back to your room. I’m tired, I wanted to sleep now.” I complained when his hands becomes naughty again.

“Fine. I won’t do anything but I am not going out. We will sleep together and I won’t sleep in my room ever again. From now on, we will share our room.” He pulled me closer and I was just there, inside his arms, restraining myself and my f*cking hormones not to lure with the devil’s trap.

The next morning, we go to the office together. Aisle is already in her school and before we headed to the company, I suddenly craved a strawberry cake when we passed in a cake shop.

“I just know that you love strawberry cakes. You often eat cheesecakes with blueberry flavored,” Logan commented when he saw me devouring my cake during our snack time.

“I love strawberry too,” I said instead and just ignored his chuckle.

“You have icing in your lips, Alice. Do you want me to wipe it out using my lips?” I rolled my eyes as I hastily tugged out a tissue. “You seem so distant to me this past few days, Alice… oh, actually not days. You’ve been distant to me since we came back from the beach house weeks ago. Why is that so?” He twitched his brow.

I evaded his eyes and just continue to eat my cake as if he wasn’t there in front of me. “I’m not distant, you are just imagining things. And can you please go back to your work? You’re obviously disturbing me–”

“From eating?” He laughed. “I am the boss, Alice. I can have a break whenever I want and you, you are still my employee but you eat during office hours.”

“I am not. It’s ten in the morning meaning I can have my snack. You know what, stop pestering me and just go back inside. You’re being too harsh.” Even I got shocked by the way I react. I almost pulled out my own hair because of the emotional changes happening to me.

Damn the hormones. I am not like this, I am not the kind of woman that is too emotional over small things.

“You’re weird this past few days, baby but I like it. Except that you are not in the mood to do some stuff at night. I badly want to feel you again. I miss your moans while you’re writhing under me.”

“Logan! Shut your mouth!” I roared, cringing over his dirty talks.

“Why?” He grinned. “Didn’t you miss my cock too? Cause he’s been looking for your pussy for quite a week.”

“You know what?! I lost my appetite! If you don’t want to leave then I’ll leave–”

“Hey! I’m just joking. Fine, I’ll stop and finish your cakes. I really wonder why you’re eating too much these past few days. Is there a crocodile in your stomach?”

I almost choke as I heard him saying that there is a wild animal inside my stomach.

Damn him! How dare he compare his child to a crocodile?! It was your child, asshole!

“Where are you going?” I asked, trying not to sound like a doubtful wife.

Logan twirled around to face me while tying his necktie. “There’s an urgent meeting,” he answered casually which made me frown in confusion.

“Meeting? But today is Sunday, Logan.” Fine, it sounds like a doubtful one now. “Anyway, don’t mind… forget about it,” I said and stepped out of our room, leaving him preparing for something he named a meeting.

That’s very unusual. Meeting? Sunday? This day was supposed to be his day off… our day off. Yet he was claiming that he has a meeting.

Minutes passed, Logan climbed down and I was expecting that he will join us on our breakfast but he didn’t. He just drink his coffee, not even finishing it and then he flew away after giving me and Aisle a peck of a kiss. Still doubting him, I forced myself to shove my thoughts away and focus my attention on Aisle instead. So when she told me that she wanted to go to a mall, I decided to grant her wish and drove to the mall afterward. It was ten in the morning when we reached the mall. I am holding her hand as we strolled around and bought some toys she is pointing to.

“Mommy, chicken,” she demands while pointing to a famous fast-food chain. I nodded and carried her as we walked inside the fast-food chain and ordered on the counter afterward.

Aisle eats so much chicken and I was there, wiping her mouth every time there will be ketchup on her lips. Also, her hands that are in mess. I told her that I will just feed her but she insisted that she is already a big girl. She can feed herself, as she said. So, I just give her what she wants instead of I have to deal with her tantrums. After having fun in the mall, I decided to go home, especially that Aisle is already sleeping on my shoulder as I walked to the parking lot. And just when I put her in the back seat and I was just about to sit on the driver’s seat, my phone rang from my pocket.

I tugged it out and found out that it was Helena. “Hello, Helena.” I sat on the driver’s seat and stayed there while speaking with her.

“I am with Aisle, why?” I asked again when she asked me where I am.

“Are you with your husband?” I frowned.

“No, we are not. Logan was out for an urgent meeting, why?”

“Urgent meeting?!” there was a sudden rise in her voice that made my frown double. “Alice, he is not in the meeting. Duh, I saw him when I was about to check out in a hotel. And guess what, he isn’t alone. There was a woman, a brunette to be exact, who clung beside him. Damn that man! But don’t worry, I am still here–” I wasn’t able to finish hearing her speaking from the other line when my phone fell from my hand.

There was a sudden pain as well as anger pang my heart and it’s making me hard to breathe. I even have to breathe in and breath out so I can calm myself but in the end, it was useless especially when my phone beep on the car floor. I bend down to pick it up and saw that there was a message coming from Helena. When I opened it, I almost cried upon seeing a picture of Logan. And yes, she isn’t lying. Logan is true with a f*cking brunette in a f*cking hotel.

He told me. He f*cking told me that he will go to an urgent meeting! But he didn’t say what kind of meeting. Because as for what I have seen, it is obviously a kind of different meeting. Damn him! I was right all along… I was right. And I am super proud of myself for not letting my guard down again. He really just after his revenge. He didn’t want to fix everything, he just wanted to give what I have I asked him. And now, he is giving it to me, and dang him! It still f*cking hurt!

“Mommy, why are crying? And why do I have to pack my clothes?” Aisle innocently asked while I am tugging out her clothes out of her closet.

I faced her and then forced a smile even though my eyes were full of tears. “Would it be okay with you if we leave for a while, baby?” my voice cracked.

“It’s okay with me, Mommy as long as I am with you and Daddy.” and that’s it, my tears rushed out in double. Her innocent answer clenched my heart and it is f*cking hurt.

“No, baby…” I sob. “We, just the two of us… your Daddy won’t be going with us. Would it be okay?” Aisle didn’t speak for a couple of seconds but then, nodded afterward… with tears slowly building in her eyes.

She then walked over to me and hug me which made me stiffen. “I’m okay, Mommy… I’m okay. I don’t want to see you crying. I don’t want Daddy to hurt you again,” she said as sobs passed through her lips.

All I can do the time she was hugging me is to hug her back while our silent cries are filling her room. After that moment, and after I packed her clothes, we both stepped out climb downstairs. The maids who see us came and blocked our way with confusion on their faces as their eyes traveled down on the luggage I am holding.

“If Logan came back, please tell him that don’t meddle our lives again,” I said, ignoring their words that are meant to stop us but my decision is already final.

He told me that he will just go to an urgent meeting yet he was caught by my best friend, in a hotel together with a woman clinging to his arm. And the worst is, Helena took a picture for a piece of evidence. Those pictures are enough… enough to shake my mind and bring me back to my senses. Even though he didn’t marry me for love, he is still married to me… even in the papers only. Logan Ivanov is still married to me, he is still my husband so how dare he cheat behind my back?!

He didn’t just violate the law that binds us, he also forget that he is still a child on me.
