MY OBSESSED BILLIONAIRE CEO

It was my first day at the office after landing a job at Britain Company. It was a six-month contract in a Britain company in North California. It was around noon as the piles of papers grew big on my desk when my mind drifted away from work by the call from Marcelo my boyfriend.

" Hello sweetheart, How is your day going? I can imagine that you are missing me already. " I answered the call in a soft tone.

" Well, Young lady if you love your life you better stay away from my husband. " A lady from the caller's end stated

" Excuse me, Who are you and why are you picking up my boyfriend's phone? " I inquired furiously and confused as I had dated Mathias for three months and we were supposed to get married a week's time. He has never mentioned to me anything about having a wife except for her ex who got into an accident in the hospital after falling from the fifth floor of the hospital building and died on the spot.

" Babe she is on the phone could you clarify it to her, She is doubting my words and I might end up losing my shit on her. " I heard her talking in the background before I heard a deep voice clear after the throat was cleared before I heard the response from him.

" Hey, "Marcello's voice stated and my heart was racing against my chest like I was stabbed by a knife severely as the knife was twisted inside my heart. I crossed my fingers when replying as I wanted to believe this was just one of his pranks since we were going to get married.

" Who was that crazy B**ch?" I yelled out my heart as I inquired waiting to hear him apologize but it hit me hard what I heard next from his mouth.

" She is not a b**ch but my lawful wedded wife and you were just a task I had to use to make my way up and be glad I got you a job despite your naivety you are a b**tch and I am going to hang up this call and don't bother calling me again. Understood! " Mathias yelled out in a profound voice before he ended the call.

" Wait... " I stated but the call had ended I felt like the world had come against me and it was suffocating me as the temperature in my body had increased and the buttons in my blouse were choking me up so I decided to unbutton several buttons from my shirt to breathe out some air. I sipped down a few gulps of water from my bottle that was on my desk as I tried to concentrate on the work that was piled since I had rent to pay and my several upkeeps relied on the salary given that I had six months which would decide if I would get permanently employed. I did not want to lose everything at once, What would I be?

I was so focused on the files that I did not get to see that my lunch hour break which was recommended by the company at 2 pm had passed and it was evening already the sun was out of the sky and darkness had started to cover the sky while there were no more piles of paperwork to be dealt with. On checking on my phone it was past 9 pm already and the wallpaper on my phone of me and Marcelo brought me back to hush reality of me that I had escaped about hours ago. I felt a sharp pain evolve around me again as tears dropped uncontrollably on my cheeks before a blackout happened in the office where I was and the chamber was filled with hush silence that I had not noted earlier and been the first day I hadn't remember my way out so I had picked up my handbag after switching on my phone flashlight to see where I would stroll through to on the pitch dark office and I ambled to where I thought the elevator was located and as I was wandering I slide on the tiles and before I could meet with the bare floor and I fell on strong arms that held half of my upper body cross through my waistline.

" I found you. " He stated in a profound deep roaring voice.

" What do you think you are doing, Keep your hands off me or I will scream for help and you gonna not like it," I yelled at him as he slowly lifted his hands which were twice mine and stronger than mine.

" Then what are you waiting for, Do you think anyone will come to your aid? " He inquired mockingly before his grip tightened on me and now I was laying on his chest had his strong breasts and with his small hands of mine that I tried pushing myself from his embrace. I knew quite well that no one would come to help and he knew it until I felt a gun around his ribs I don't know how I took it and I was pointing it at the man that I had hit him between his legs and he was groaning in pain. I held the gun like how I used to see in movies and I never thought that it would feel this way in reality.

" Did that Idiot Marcello send you here to finish me off since he knows I know his secret of defiance? " I inquired to the man who responded with deep laughter and that was the only thing I could think of who wanted to get rid of me since I was a threat to him.

" Hahaha, Are you gonna pull that trigger, baby girl, You even don't know how to use a gun. " He asserted with a boastful voice as he slowly moved towards me.

" I said don't dare move an inch from there or a bullet will end in your tinny scalp. " I yelled out and I couldn't tell how I did it but I pulled the trigger and shot the ceiling which made him halt from where he was standing.

" Okay, I won't move and could you at least put that down? " He stated as a devilish smile curved on his face and I thought to myself that this was a psychopath even if I couldn't see his face clearly since the electricity was out.

" Whatever you are, I don't care if you are his mercenary. I want you to send this message back to him. That he will pay for everything he has made me go through. Have you understood what I just said? " I inquired before silence emerged for a while I shot to the ground almost to where he was standing which made him move a meter away in a blink of an eye.

" Okay, I will " He stated

" Okay, Where are the stairs located from this floor? " I inquired waiting for the reply which did not take long.

" On your left, you will spot a door with exit letters on top. " He answered calmly.

" Okay, You better stand there and don't dare to follow me, if you don't want me to end your life today," I stated as I yanked my heels from my feet because this was between life and death. I strolled a little faster as I looked back to the dark figure that I had left behind I didn't see the face clearly before I opened the door and saw the exit and my heart was a bit of some peace after I saw he didn't lie about the exit. I climbed down the stairs from the fifth floor and I think I was on the third floor when the lights were back I don't know how I managed to climb down those stairs without sliding since it was my first day and my heart was racing and it felt like it was about to pop out as I used the elevator and I was on the ground floor where I made my way to where I had parked my car. I opened the driver seat and threw my handbag and gun on the co-drivers seat before I started the car engine. It was around 20 minutes when I made it outside my apartment, I a lighted from my car after taking possession of my belongings inside. I could not feel at ease outside knowing someone out there needed me dead. It was a until I made it to my apartment and found a gift box outside my apartment door where I opened the door as I carefully pushed the box inside the apartment and locked myself from inside before I rushed to my kitchen and poured myself a glass of wine as I gulp the whole glass before I switched on the lights and I wished that the earth would swallow me alive to what caught my sight.

" Hello, Adriana have you met a ghost, Why is your face pale, honey? " A deep Mockery voice inquired from the sitting area from where a man was sitting with his legs crossed on the table like he was waiting to be served.

" What brings you here imbecile?" I inquired as I tightened the grip on the glass that contained the wine that I had consumed halfway.

" Well, I can see you got my message quite well and I think that there is no need for me to worry about anything. " Marcello stated blissfully as he stood up and was about to flee when he was halted halfway by sarcastic laughter.

" Hahaha, you think that you will drop me off so easily, No, no no my dear, If I fall, be ready for your downfall because we are going down together. I don't care about the wedding anymore. It's me and you till the end. " I stated confidently. All my life I did not know how to stand up for myself but this was the first time and I think I felt like I owned the world with the gun in my hands while I desired to kill him which was going to be so easy and I yearned to watch him suffer in pain as he begged for mercy. I needed him to feel the betrayal and pain that he made me go through during this day and now he was in my apartment to tell me this. I was fuming with rage as my blood boiled inside me and I felt like he was a piece of trash that I needed to get over with since it was disgusting my place.

" So what are you planning to do? " Marcelo inquired as he jerked to amble towards me I yelled out to him before picking up my purse that I had placed on the kitchen counter and I pointed the gun at him.

" I will do nothing but watch and I would love to have fun with you and your wife as you burn and rot in hell. " I stated boastfully I had never felt like this before since all the time I was with him all I could see was his tall body towered even if he was far away and I felt my five feet and six inches to be extremely tiny to defend myself but with this gun, I felt conceited as I watched him beg on his clemency.

" Adriana you don't have to do this, We can talk. " Marcelo stated as he tried to move an inch closer to my direction I knew he would affect me if he managed to get closer to me with his hot breath around me and his scent made me numb and I could not allow it to go back to square one and get stabbed on my back again and give him the chance to make fun of me.

" Don't dare me! " I yelled out as I cocked the gun, ready to pull the trigger.

" Okay, I won't move but can you please keep that gun down it's not a toy to play with. " Marcelo stated calmly

" Hahaha, What do you think I am a child who doesn't know what she is doing and for your information, I am not a child anymore and I can handle myself quite well. " I stated as this made my eyes well up in tears which I was trying to withhold since my eyes landed on his face again. I needed him to clarify all the answers that I had but what was the need for that? He found me unworthy.

" No, no, no, That's not what I mean, I am sorry to have done this to you, I know I was supposed to tell you that I was married but how could I do that we were in love and you know that. " Marcelo muttered.

" Hahaha, We were in love, of course, I bet you took advantage of my feelings, and not only that you let her break it to me. It even gets interesting that you planned to kill me on my first day at work after getting me this job. " I stated as tears broke in my eyes because I couldn't withhold myself much longer.

" Adriana, You know me, I cannot do such a thing to you even if I am angry with you. I still love you. " Marcelo stated

" Mmmmm, There goes the sweet talk again. I am sorry that I have to break this to you but I am not putting this thing down until you leave my house and my keys and don't ever come back. Understood asshole." I articulated as my hands started to grow weaker and my heart was starting to believe what he was saying I needed to give him a chance maybe he would save me the embarrassment of the wedding cancellation.

" Okay, I am fleeing but please don't do something stupid that you will regret. " Marcelo stated as he strolled his way out and I scampered my feet to close the door behind him. I breathed slowly to relax as I breathed some clean oxygen after part of my trash was disposed of since I caught Marcelo in my chamber he had suffocated the air inside. After relaxing I decided to open the carton that I found in the doorway I wasn't afraid of what was inside since I had nothing to lose. Until my stomach groaned out of hunger I uncocked the gun and placed it near my small coffee table took out my phone and swiped up my screen before I tapped on the Glovo app and made my super delivery since I was messed up and I couldn't cook and I could end up burning my apartment down. After making the order I resumed unwrapping the cartoon and to my surprise I came to find out that it was the coat that I had left earlier in the office and I now believed he wanted me dead for real.

" How is this even possible, He couldn't have made his way here and relaxed this way. Could it be he was telling me the truth? No no no, he betrayed me and why send this over? " I wondered to myself in my thoughts before I heard my doorbell ring which snared me off guard.

" Who is it? " I inquired as I made a few steps to pick up the door.

" The delivery guy. " A deep voice stated

" Okay, just a minute. " I stated as I peeped through the small hole in the door to confirm with a gun behind my back for any nuisance. It happened so fast when I felt a gun on my head and a deep voice stated.

" Give that to me?" A deep voice stated.

" What? " I asked confused

" The gun, of course, I know you have it, and be fast. " He stated in a profound voice

" Okay, Here it is, please don't kill me. " I pleaded for my life as chills danced down my spine when I heard the trigger being pulled. I couldn't believe how fast that happened since a while ago people were begging for my mercy to spare their lives now I am begging for mine to be spared. So much for a day to handle.

" Enjoy your meal you are still alive and don't ever do that silly thing again. " Should I say the delivery guy or the man with the gun stated and he handed me the carrier bag with my trembling hands I picked it up and the two men left I was left staring at the wall opposite my apartment door ahead me and I felt numb before a call from my pocket buzzed which almost made me drop the bag on hand. It was my best friend Lorraine I scrolled to the answer button.

" Hello girlfriend are you at home? I am on my way coming over in a minute don't be in such a rush to order because I came packed. " Lorraine stated

" Okay, I will wait. " I stated as I felt a relief it was almost midnight and I was glad someone was going to give the company.

I was just unpacking the food that I had ordered from the carrier bag when I heard the doorbell to my apartment ring.

" That was fast, I thought she would be taking longer," I uttered to myself as I opened the door to my apartment and I found no one on the doorstand but an envelope. I took the envelope after searching around but didn't get to see anyone who delivered the envelope. I was yet to find another mystery of my life in it, in just a day.

" Today has been a weird day. " I stated before I gazed at the wall clock it was half to midnight and I unfurled the envelope only to find a couple of intimate photos that my eyesight couldn't believe. I felt like ending my life After a few minutes in which I sat on my couch trying to digest everything, I heard the doorbell ring and a phone call from Lorraine and I knew she was the one at the door.

" Hey, I finally made it, See I brought wine, We will have a long weekend and I am sorry I didn't call earlier in the day but I couldn't wait till tomorrow you tell me the whole story of your first day at work. " Lorraine stated as she gave me a tight hug before breaking the hug and strolling to place the carrier bag on the kitchen counter and grab the two glasses. She knew all the corners of my apartment since she had the keys and she roamed every corner of the room at her own will. Lorraine unfurled the wine and gushed down full on the glass as I stood numb on the door after matching it close after her. She handed me one of the glasses of wine as she pulled me towards the couch in my small living room. I did not have much time to hide the photos that were scattered on the small coffee table since I was disgusted with her. I didn't know that she could stab me in my back and I felt like she had pierced a sharp thing through my chest and every second of it she turned the knife inside my wound and the pain was getting unbearable. I treated her like a sister, like family.

" What the f**k! Babe, where did you get all of this? " Lorraine who had placed her glass of wine which was halfway on the coffee table inquired startled by herself naked with Marcelo.

" Why don't you tell me, I think you have a lot to explain. " I stated trying to keep my composure as calm as possible since my emotions were going to take the best of me and I didn't want that to happen especially in front of my enemy and I had to remain flawless.

" It's not what you think... Think. " Lorraine stated as she stammered as my eyes intensified

" What do you want I believe this time. " I stated calmly as I clutched my tiny hands together I felt like beating the hell the devil out of her.

" I know I overstepped this but I didn't want you to find out this way," Lorraine stated remorseful.

" I took you like a sister and wait you were the one who said that you wanted us to get married and you even have a child with him. F*ck I feel disgusted, Even Mary had to watch his father with another woman, seriously and what about your boyfriend, or was it just your plan still for me not to find out. " I inquired as I felt like puking out my empty stomach.

" I am sorry, I put made you go through this," Lorraine stated as tears plunged down her cheeks.

" What about the threat of Killing me or did he personally send you to kill me? " I inquired calmly

" I am sorry but he wouldn't do that, He loves you so much. " Lorraine stated

" Hahaha, This is getting fun, So if it's not him that means it's you and you came to finish me off."

I stated calmly as I watched her expression.

" No, no, no, I cannot do that, You know me well off, even a mosquito itself I cannot kill it how can you think of me that way? " Lorraine stated with a shocked expression.

" I don't know anything about you at all, You even went to the extent of threatening to kill me. I think it's best you leave, I am not comfortable with you being here and don't forget to carry back your food on your way out. " I stated firmly.

" You cannot do this to us... Please "Lorraine pleaded to Ariana's feet.

" You would have thought of that three months ago when you introduced me to your husband. " I stated and I felt like splashing the wine on my hand on her face but that would cost my furniture and carpet and I did not want to since I was going to resign from the company today since I had not finished the formalities and the process was going to end today with the Ceo signing my contract for the company.

" It happened so first and I became jealous but I didn't mean to threaten you. I am sorry, Please forgive me let's start things over again. " Lorraine stated

" Start what? Why did I not even recognize you earlier? " I inquired with a frustrated look.

" I wanted you to have people who could stand with you. " Lorraine stated

" Then you could snatch them away when you feel you have it all and come pretend that you care. Well, go tell your husband that his mission failed and I don't want to ever see either him or you again, and he must have told you what happened to him earlier. So for God's sake leave my sight before I do something I will regret. " I stated

" Okay, I will leave you and please consider... " Lorraine stated as he left I scurried to close the door and sat behind the door on the cold tiles tears drew on my cheeks and I didn't know when I took a nap and I was woken by my alarm from my phone at around 6 am as the birds sang their melody, It was my second day at work and I wanted to forward my resignation letter so that I can know what to do with my life and I didn't want to ever see their faces again. I had finished taking my shower and I warmed the food that I hadn't touched after I ordered, It was still fresh and I was done dishing my breakfast, it was a new day for me and I picked up my bag and car keys and I started my car and in a few minutes, I had made my way to Britain company. I went straight to the secretary to the CEO where I had dropped my contracted papers and he was not there to sign them up he would be arriving at 9 am in the office and before he made it I wished to have my resignation letter before he signed for the contract. I had made it to the 8th floor of the building that was not occupied and I strolled through the empty hallway to a desk that was at the corner of the hallway to a lady who was seated

" Hey, Good morning, Mrs Martha. Is Mr. CEO around? " I inquired in a low soft voice

" You must be the new employee from the 5th floor, Are you Adriana Santiago? " Martha inquired

" Yes, that's me, " I replied

" The CEO requested to speak to you in his office. " Martha stated

" Is he in his office?" I inquired curiously

" Yes, he is, Just a minute let me inform him. " Martha stated as he dialed some digits on the office telephone line.

" Hello, Sir, Mrs Adriana is here, Can I allow her to come in? " Martha inquired

" Yes, Sure. " A deep voice stated

" Yes, you can go in. " Martha stated as she placed back the telephone.

'Knock, knock. ' A knock is given attention on the enormous wooden door.
