CEO VS. CEO

Chapter 1

Memory

Noura

I wake up again to run to the bathroom to throw up. Yes I'm pregnant, by a bastard, a heartless one. I live in a hostel today, three months pregnant.

I loved this man more than myself, I idolized him so much that I was very happy that he finally paid attention to me.

I forgot to introduce myself, my name is

Noura Evans William (William which is my mother's name and Evans the name my father gave to my mother.) My mother a single mother, an African-American who dated a Londoner for four years, until the day where he abruptly disappears, leaving her pregnant and refusing to acknowledgethe pregnancy is when she learns that he is married. My mother raised me alone, she put me in the best establishments until she fell ill with terminal cancer, I stopped studying to find work and cope with the exorbitant costs of hospital costs. Since she worked for a rich family, I went to see them to take over her position as a servant, something they were quick to accept. I started working there at 19, they gave me a loan to help me with hospital costs, which they took from my salary every end of the month.

Three months after starting to work, their son who was 25 years old, started looking at me with different eyes, I was happy that such a man finally noticed me, because since the first day I had fallen under his charm.

Every evening he came into my room before going to bed (I was living there to save rent since we had sold the small house where my mother and I were staying to pay off the debts generated by hospital costs. my mother was hospitalized for further follow-up)

When He came to my room, we talked a little before he went to bed.

A month after his first visit to my room, we shared our first kiss, it was so sweet, I was in heaven. Five months later he made me his own, he was gentle, attentive. In his arms I forgot my mother's illness. I forgot my problems. He never protected himself with I took pills.

After a year the idyll, the dream turned into a nightmare, his parents knew that I was sleeping with their son. They were outraged, how a colored girl could go out with their son, the apple of their eye, their jewel, he was destined to do great things, he was not going to bother with a diamond digger, according to them.

They kicked me out the same day my mother died and their son did nothing to defend me, protect me. On the contrary he told me that I was a good distraction, and that the party was over. As I was in the taxi to go see her my phone rang for the year she died. When I arrived at the hospital, I completed the administrative formalities and collected my mother's body to bury her the same day.

I had just lost my mother, my lover and my job on the same day.

I was devastated, lost.

the best of my mother helped me,

bury her, there were only two of us at the funeral because my mother was an orphan.

After the funeral, my mother's friend wanted me to stay at her house, but I refused with her alcoholic husband who sometimes looks at me with perverted eyes.

I prefer to fend for myself, I thanked her for her help, and she pointed me to this hostel, run by a woman with a heart of gold. I've been here for two months and it's been a month since I knew about it. of my pregnancy, I wonder what will happen to me? .

What father

Noura

I found out about my pregnancy a month ago, I had just passed out while cleaning the rooms, because Angeline had agreed to put me up for free and feed me, in return I had to help her with the maintenance of his inn, something which I hastened to accept. When I woke up I was in the hospital, the doctor had taken a sample of my blood to do some analysis, I was told of the happy or unfortunate event. Since that day Angeline, who had affection for me, loved me more like her own daughter. She made me change my room to a larger room for the smooth running of my pregnancy.

After taking my shower I go help Angeline make breakfast for her tenants.

- Hello my Tinker Bell?

- Hello my darling, what about morning sickness?

- As usual, it tires me.

- It's normal, given your condition. But in a few months you will feel better.

- I hope so, it's starting to piss me off.

- No, you're not going to shit, you're just going to throw up.

- Hahaha very funny.

- Now at the table.

Breakfast is placed on the dining table so everyone can help themselves.

I help myself to a large slice of cake, pastries and a large glass of milk.

- I am happy to see you eating with appetite.

- You won't say that in a few months when I'm going to empty your cupboards.

- I will be happy to fill them, you know you are the daughter I never had, so if my grandson wants to empty my closet, I have no problem with that.

After the meal, I clean up, and go to tidy up in the kitchen, when the doorbell pulls me out of my concentration, I go to see if it's a new client because we have no more rooms available.

- Hello miss, I would like to speak to miss Noura William please.

- What do you want from him?

- It's a delicate subject if we could have a quiet place to talk that would be ideal.

- Didn't I tell you it was me?

- I know, it's to explain to you the reason for my coming.

- Very well, follow me.

- Thanks very much.

I take him to Angeline's office

- Angeline, this gentleman is looking for, a certain Noura, I sent him to your office so that he can explain to you why he was looking for her, and you know her.

- Very good, enough you sir, explain to me why you are looking for this woman.

- Miss William's father is looking for her, he is ill, and has never been able to have children with his wife.

He would like to know his child while he is alive, ask him for forgiveness and bequeath him all his fortune, which is colossal.

Angeline speak up to stop me from denying that I am this woman.

- I present to you Miss William

- It's true what she says, but I don't have a father.

Chapter 2

Noura

Angeline tells me:

- This day has arrived, show your father what a generous woman your mother gave birth to. Show him that you are generous, that you have a heart of gold, show him what a beautiful woman you have become.

- I understand, my fairy, I will think and give you an answer in the evening.

- Thank you my darling, go and rest, it will do you good, kisses.

- Kisses.

After a good rest, I wake up and think about my fairy's words.

On the one hand she is right, I must teach my father a lesson in wisdom. On the other hand, he hurt my mother a lot. What would my mother say to me if she were here? Mom ? , what should I do?

What should I do ? I'm in tears, I miss her so much!

I head towards the kitchen, I'm a little hungry. I eat a little and go looking for her, she must be cleaning one of the rooms.

I find her coming downstairs with the cleaning materials.

- You have rested well ?

- Yes, thank you, it makes me feel good.

- Come help me in the kitchen.

- Let's go.

We head into the kitchen.

I start to bring out the kitchen utensils, Angeline brings out the condiments, we start to cut them.

First contact

Noura

So have you made your decision?

- Yes, I didn't have to think too much, with what you told me, and I thought about what my mother would want me to do. I know she would like me to meet her.

So I agree to meet him, come what may.

- This is good news, thank you for making this decision.

The next morning, the lawyer arrives as planned, Angeline asks him if the paternity test is really reliable.

- Excuse me sir, are you sure of the reliability of your paternity test?

- One hundred percent, ma'am, we've done it more than ten times.

- Very well, Miss William agrees to accompany you. But I warn you if you don't treat her well, you will have to deal with me.

- Don't worry ma'am, she will be treated like a queen.

- When do you have to leave?

- It depends on you miss

He said, pointing to me.

- I don't know, ? maybe in two days time I'll get ready and say goodbye to everyone.

- It's not a problem, in two days I'll be there at eight years old.

- Okay, let's do it like this.

He takes leave of us. I find myself alone with Angeline.

- I'm going to miss you, darling.

She said hugging me.

- I will miss you too, my good fairy

The day of departure arrived, the lawyer came to pick me up in a really beautiful white limousine.

My good fairy kissed me, she had tears in her eyes, me too.

I got into the limousine, amazed, everything is beautiful inside, made of leather, wow I'm in paradise.

I would like to point out that we are in the state of Washington in the city of Seattle, my father lives in London. It would be a long flight.

The limousine stops at the airport, in front of a private jet, with my name written on it. I'm like, "my name on a jet, a Jet, a fucking Jet," I can't believe it.

- your father took the lead, at present your name is on all his property

- I think he's rushing a bit, I want us to get to know each other before putting my name on his assets. Maybe we won't stand each other? Where he will change his mind, you never know. I'm ready to get to know him, but I don't expect anything else from him. He introduces me to the crew as the owner of the place. the crew is made up of two pilots, two stewardesses.

He shows me around the Jet, he tells me that if I want to change something, I can say that, everyone is at my service

I love it, that everyone is at my service. Someone who has always served others, you tell him that everything is at his service now, imagine, my state

I have a big head now.

The Jet is made up of a suite with two bedrooms, a small bar and two small living rooms, one gray and the other white. He shows me what's next and tells me that I can rest, since the journey will be long.

I take my quarters, the hostess comes to ask me if I want to eat something or drink. I order a very hearty breakfast. I finish eating, I go to bed for a good sleep. A few hours later I wake up, hungry, I head towards the lounges, I find Mr. Hamilton, his nose in the documents.

- did you rest well?

- Yes thanks. Could I have something to snack on? I'm starving.

- Of course.

He calls to bring me some snacks.

Two hours later, we land at a private airport. Two SUVs are waiting for us, thirty minutes later we are in front of what I can call a castle, it is so huge and beautiful, with medieval architecture.

I see a raid of honor with around twenty people to wish me a safe arrival. I am truly moved by this consideration.

I greet everyone

- Welcome, mademoiselle, my name is Grace, the housekeeper. Here we have cooks, gardeners, cleaning ladies, who have come to welcome the boss. So, welcome home.

- thank you very much, nice to meet you.

- Come and let me show you your room, rest, then I will take you to your father.

- Thank you, I'll follow you.

- I can show you the house if you are not tired.

- Yes, I would be delighted.

She shows me "the house" which is made up of thirty bedrooms, thirty-four showers, ten living rooms of different sizes and colors. It's really big here.

She shows me my room, a large, bright room with a living room, a terrace, a fridge and a small oven. I take a shower and lie down waiting for someone to come and pick me up. It doesn't take long, she takes me to the other side of the castle where my father's apartments are. I enter a large, very luxurious, dark room, in an armchair sits a rather thin elderly man, with white hair, he looks at me.

with teary eyes.

- Welcome home, my daughter.

Chapter 3 : Sorry my daughter

Noura

- Miss William's father is looking for her, he is ill, and has never been able to have children with his wife.

He would like to know his child while he is alive, ask him for forgiveness and bequeath him all his fortune, which is colossal.

Angeline speak up to stop me from denying that I am this woman. The gentleman told us.

- I present to you Miss William

- It's true what she says, but I don't have a father. And what proves what you say is true, what proves that it's my father?

- Your father has been looking for you for years, miss. He was so desperate that he paid a large sum of money to each hospital

by giving them his son so that he can do a paternity test on all the sick people who come. During all these years, he paid ten million to do all these tests, until you came out positive. He made a video for you.

He shows me a video in which my pain asks me for forgiveness, asks me to go meet him so that he can apologize in person for what happened.

Angeline asks the gentleman to come back the next day for my answer.

- Sir ?

- Amilton, My name is Georges Amilton

- Very well, Mr. Amilton, it would be best if you came back tomorrow, to get his answer, currently he is in shock.

- That's a good idea Madam, we'll see you tomorrow then, have a good day.

- Goodbye, Mr. Amilton

As soon as the gentleman leaves, she closes the door, and tells me to listen carefully because she is not going to tell me twice.

- Noura my daughter, at your young age you have already gone through many trials, now you have a chance to be happy, and to be able to show those who humiliated you that you are better than them, that you are a thousand times better than them.

So agree to go meet your father

He is your only support against those who mistreated you. Think about it until the evening and give me a favorable answer.

- You know, I never knew my father, my mother had a lot of trouble talking about him, it hurt her too much.

She just told me that he didn't want to acknowledge the pregnancy, and that he had told her that he was married, and that he didn't want to throw his marriage away. I felt so bad when she told me this, it encouraged me to want to be the best in class, so that she would be proud of me and that my father would regret leaving us.

- This day has arrived, show you father what a generous woman your mother gave birth to. Show him that you are generous, that you have a heart of gold, show him what a beautiful woman you have become.

- I understand, my fairy, I will think and give you an answer in the evening.

- Thank you my darling, go and rest, it will do you good, kisses.

- Kisses.

My story

Noura

I enter a large, very luxurious, dark room, in an armchair sits a rather thin elderly man, with white hair, he looks at me

with teary eyes.

- Welcome home, my daughter. Come closer, let me take you in my arms.

I approach him, intimidated by the man in front of me.

- You have nothing to fear from me

I get to his level and lower him so that he hugs me. Then I sit in the chair across from him.

- I can die in peace now that I have seen you. I've been looking for you for so long, you can't imagine. I want to ask you for forgiveness, forgiveness for leaving your mother, forgiveness for leaving you alone, forgiveness for not being able to keep the promise I made to her, I was a coward at the time, I don't see losing all the comforts around me, I was afraid of the unknown.

When your mother found out about the pregnancy right away I was confused, I had gone to America to open our branch and make sure the business started doing well, when it did four years was past. Before leaving, my father insisted that I get married first. To consolidate our relationships with our partner and our friends. It was an arranged marriage, I wasn't in love, but I did what was expected of me, as always. It was after the wedding that I left for America, I met you in the restaurant where I was going to eat, it was love at first sight, we fell in love at first sight. We started a relationship, I didn't tell her about my marriage because I was afraid of losing her. These were the best years of my life.

After four years my father urged me to return, but I couldn't, I always found ways to extend my stay, I left every two months for a week to see my wife and take stock with my father.

My wife suspected me of cheating on her, she hired a detective to investigate, he gave her all the evidence of my infidelity. She spoke about it to her father who informed mine, my father gave me an ultimatum, either I left your country and returned immediately or I stayed in America with it and I was no longer his son and that he would do everything to attempt on your mother's life, and I know he would be capable of it.

I spent two weeks thinking, in the third week he called me back to find out my decision, I agreed to come home to stop him from hurting your mother, because if my marriage ended, It didn't help his affairs.

The day I made the decision to tell your mother the news, she had another piece of news for me, that of her pregnancy.

I knew that if my father heard this news, he was going to kill her and the child she was carrying. So to stop your mother from looking for me one day, I broke up with her in the worst way, I told her that I never loved her, that she was just a hobby,

that I didn't want the pregnancy, that it could abort.
