The CEO'S Prisoner

A woman was heard moaning in a spoiled way. Just as a sweet kiss was given by a man who was neat in his suit this morning.

'Why did you go to the office so early my dear? I still want to hug you.'

The man's smile always widened as his heart melted because of whatever the beautiful woman he adored did. Even with her sweet and pampered attitude amidst her innocent body, which was only covered in a blanket, she looked so charming in his eyes.

'I have an important meeting this morning. I also have to resolve the dispute between me and my brother, you know that, right? I told you about it last night.' he answered while gently stroking the woman's face. And the woman's clear and beautiful blue eyes opened, then gave the man an extraordinarily seductive look.

'There's still 45 minutes until your meeting, right?' the man nodded in response. 'So, can't we use this time to be together? I want to kiss you again, Aaron...'

The man smiled and couldn't help but be tempted by his beloved lover's spoiled behavior. He really liked how the woman of Asian and European descent called his name, Aaron... Aaron William Johnson. 'Oh, that such a short time will not be enough for us to spend together, my dear Maria.'

But it seemed that the woman didn't really care, she immediately put her arms around Aaron's neck and pulled him in for a kiss. The kiss of Maria's sensual lips was always intoxicating for Aaron. he couldn't avoid it. Even now, he was lulled by it. The two of them were making out intimately while Aaron was supposed to be on his way to his company and preparing for his important meeting. But in this case, the woman who really wanted to make out with him was more important than the fate of his company. Maria's slender hands, with her beautiful light brown hair and silky softness, seemed adept at opening and making her beloved man as naked as she was. 'Oh, it's going to be a hot morning, darling...' Aaron said, smiling amid his hot kisses. 'I'm always burned by my lust for you...'

They quickly changed and took a position ready to penetrate. Aaron was already at the peak of his passion and immediately directed his penis to the woman's. 'Oh, can't we do some foreplay first?' The woman asked with a pampering smile. 'Oh, come on darling, we don't have much time. I'm already so hot because of you.' But, even though Aaron said that he immediately gave a little warm-up or a bit of foreplay right to the beautiful and sexy breasts that he really liked. The woman looked up with her chest puffed out as if inviting Aaron to touch her more and more. 'I really love your touch, darling...' she said in praise with sensual moans which were very seductive to Aaron's ears. As if he had been encouraged, Aaron finally touched and wanted to give an even more delicious touch to the woman's breasts which were being dominated by her lust for love. Aaron sucked on the woman's round and beautiful breasts with passionate desire. The woman sighed with all her delicious feelings. 'Aaron, I want you...' Hearing his beloved woman's request, Aaron interpreted it as a sign that it was time for him to enter her delicious hole down there. 'As you wish, Darling...' Aaron immediately aimed his penis right at the woman with a beautiful and seductive body. Just as he landed and came into contact with the vaginal lips of his most beloved woman, moans of pleasure could be heard throughout the room. 'Fuck me so hard, baby!' She asked.

Unfortunately, someone had just entered the room and interrupted the activity, which was just about to reach the point. 'I'm so sorry for disturbing your time. But this is really important, Mr. Aaron. You have to go to the office. Immediately!' said Aaron's assistant in a hurry amidst his awkwardness about what was going on with his master and his beloved woman.

Then, Aaron looked at her guiltily. He knew he would really disappoint the woman who was looking at him. 'I'll be home early I promise that my darling, I'm sorry about this morning. I have to go...' he said. 'You're such an annoying busy man!'

Aaron got one curse and a punch right in the chest. And he immediately gave his beloved woman a gentle kiss on the lips, even though it was nothing compared to what would have been going on right now if there had been no disturbance. 'I will wait for you, just watch out if you break your words.'

'I promise.'

And after the drama with his lover. Aaron immediately got ready with his clothes and then quickly walked out of the apartment he shared with his girlfriend, to head to his company. Meanwhile, the woman whom Aaron had just left seemed to just roll herself back up in her soft blanket, continuing to sleep a little longer before she went to the kindergarten where she worked.

'I know it was very rude of me to interrupt your time with Maria, once again I apologize...' said Aaron's assistant, sounding very apologetic while driving his car. And Aaron just smiled, he knew that it was work that made him have to stop his romantic and intimate activities with his beloved woman, not his assistant.

'Never mind, but send a bouquet to kindergarten. I know she must be upset because of that.' Aaron said, which Leo, his loyal assistant, would immediately carry out.

'But, if I may ask, would you allow Maria to continue teaching at the kindergarten? Especially, considering that the environment is too ordinary and too run-of-the-mill. That won't be a problem after you announce your marriage to her. The media and everyone will highlight it.'

Aaron fell silent thinking about Leo's words. He's really thought about that and how it will impact Maria and him. But thinking about how he had been made to fall in love with her simplicity and her extraordinary beauty, in contrast to the glamorous women in his environment. And as well as her kind heart, Aaron felt he wanted everyone to know what Maria Claire was like. He wanted everyone to know how charming and perfect the woman was, which made him fall in love and even go crazy with her.

'I don't want to make her change into another person. She has her own life, sight, goals, and ideals of life that even I can't interfere with.' Aaron then chuckled, 'She's even very stubborn sometimes. But that's who she is which makes her so incredibly captivating to me.'

Leo was touched by how the famous CEO, with his extraordinary charisma, and good looks was admired. He witnessed how Aaron fell in love last fall, with a woman who had a life that was inversely proportional to Aaron's luxurious life. Maria Claire is a beautiful woman with a simple life, who is like a modern Cinderella. She succeeded in becoming the heartthrob of a handsome and rich Billionaire. 'But you haven't explained what made me have to rush to the office, Leo. What's this about?'

'Your brother, Mr. Noah was waiting in your room. I think big trouble awaits you, Mr. Aaron.'

Aaron's expression immediately changed. He does have a complicated relationship with his brother, who is as successful and handsome as himself.

'Then hurry up, we have to meet him.'

Meanwhile, in another place, Maria was ready for her day to meet her kindergarten students. She always wore a friendly and charming smile while waiting for the bus to arrive carrying the adorable children who were her students.

Soon all the little girl were running around looking very enthusiastic about meeting their favorite teacher. 'Oh, Miss Maria today is very beautiful,' praised a little girl who looked like an adorable doll to her.

'Thank you, Lily. You are also very beautiful with your charming hairdo today.'

That's how Maria is, who is always humble and affectionate towards all children, so it's no surprise that she is very well-loved.

'so, ready to learn and play with me today?' Maria asked all her students. And simultaneously and in unison all the children replied, 'Yes, Miss!'

'Okay, let's go!'

***

'You should really go home early. I'll cook dinner, for us tonight.'

That was the message Maria had just sent to her lover. 'So you will really marry that handsome and rich man?' Maria's close friend, Ollie asked her. And she only responded with a happy smile which was more than enough to answer it.

'How lucky you are, Maria. there won't be drama or conflict from his family, right?'

Maria immediately rolled her eyes, 'Oh, come on, this is an era where you are free to be with anyone. And this is not a soap opera or melodrama, or even the old story about Romeo Juliet who is opposed by her partner's family.'

'Whether you're lucky to get him, or he's lucky to get you, I hope you don't get caught up in the crazy problems of the Billionaire family. They are so different from us, Maria. Are you ready for that?'

Maria just nodded her head smiled with a warning and asked Ollie about her readiness.

'Luckily Aaron only has one very loving grandmother and one brother...'

But then, Maria suddenly thought about Aaron's older brother, whom she had never met and only knew about from Aaron's stories so far.

And unfortunately, from all the stories she heard, their relationship was not good. Noah Jhonson is a CEO who is as successful as her lover, but there are many differences in terms of personality with Aaron, according to Maria. He wasn't like Aaron, who seemed to be friendly, judging by the conversation on the telephone that Maria accidentally overheard. She heard many curses and threats repeatedly from Aaron's brother.

Even Aaron's bright and happy face always turned serious when it came to his older brother. Aaron always went straight away and had a serious conversation with his assistant.

'I can guess that there is something not good about your lover's older brother, right? Is he handsome? Is he as rich as Aaron? Is he just as kind and caring?'

Maria's expression of thinking about Noah seemed too obvious to Ollie, her friend. She started to think and even worry about Aaron's older brother.

'I've only seen it once from the photo Aaron showed me. and it seems, he is not as friendly and kind as my lover. Oh, how lucky am. I got the good and not the bad from these two brothers who are like opposite poles.'

'How can you judge that her brother is bad? Don't you know him, Maria? They're brothers, they shouldn't be that different, right?' asked Ollie, who looked very curious about the story of her best friend's lover brotherhood. 'From his face alone he carries a cold and scary atmosphere. And several times I heard how he spoke... Ugh! it was very tense!'

That's Maria's guess as to Aaron's older brother. She already thought very badly about her beloved man's older brother. In fact, in her heart, even though she was married later to Aaron, she intended not to have any relationship with Noah.

And after talking a lot with Ollie, suddenly a courier came and brought a bucket of lilies that she really liked. 'For Miss Claire.'

'Oh, I'm starting to envy you, Maria. How he is so perfect. I wish you always happiness.'

While Ollie looked jealously at Maria, Maria just seemed to smile. 'Don't be jealous, this is just a bribe.' She replied that way. Maria already knows very well how her lover behaves. 'He must have sent this so that I wouldn't be too angry about the disturbance this morning, or... he'll be late coming home again, because of his work tonight.' said Maria with a chuckle, feeling funny about her lover's behavior.

'That's very sweet, Maria. You have to prepare a special dinner tonight. I suggest you buy a suitable wine for your time with him.'

Maria nodded and agreed to the idea of ​​her best friend.

'Okay, then I'll go grocery shopping.'

***

Maria was already in the apartment area where she lived with Aaron. With a bright smile, and feeling extremely happy, she brought some of her groceries and went inside.

But on her way inside, Maria accidentally ran into a tall man whose face was almost the same as his lover's facial features. They accidentally collided and caused Maria's groceries to fall. 'I'm so sorry, Miss.'

Maria looked and saw that man's face that looked familiar. She thought, that she had seen somewhere, while the man apologized for the collision, because he seemed to be in a hurry to get out from inside.

'Oh, it's okay, I can clean it myself, but... why did you come out of my lover's apartment? And why are you in such a hurry...'

Anna's face immediately became very tense and was stunned for a moment, because of what was hidden under the man's jacket, which he seemed to be hiding.

'Why is he carrying a gun?' Maria asked herself. The man didn't immediately answer, instead, he avoided it and walked hastily. A bad feeling immediately appeared in Maria's heart. Aaron's face immediately appeared in her mind. 'Aaron...' Maria called as she watched the man run as if running away after doing something bad earlier inside.

And the next second, Maria ran quickly into Aaron's apartment. She even left behind all her shopping which was still scattered on the floor after falling earlier.

'Aaron!' She called Aaron's name with all the bad thoughts, that something very terrible had happened to him right now. And in her running steps, Maria remembered who the figure had collided with and had just come out of the apartment. 'He is... Noah! Why did he come out of the apartment running around like that? Why is he... carrying a gun? Why....'

Maria tried to think clearly and calm herself that Aaron would be okay. Moreover, she started to hope that Aaron hadn't returned to his apartment. For the first time, Maria hoped that Aaron would be late coming home. Just so that the man who had just left couldn't do anything bad, as if it had hurt Aaron inside.

But unfortunately... 'AARON!!!'

As soon as Maria entered her apartment after running around, she found Aaron lying down with blood flowing from the gunshot wound in his stomach and pooling on the floor.

'Aaron!' Maria quickly ran and approached Aaron who was already unconscious.

'What's wrong with you? Why are you injured by being shot like this???'

****

After succeeding in taking Aaron to the hospital and now being handled by a team of doctors, Maria seemed to be waiting frantically and so worried. She kept her eyes closed with her hands clenched together. Maria really hopes that something bad doesn't happen to Aaron.

And also, besides that, thoughts about the perpetrator who might have shot Aaron continued to bother Maria, amidst her worries about Aaron's condition. 'Noah...' Maria said that name while remembering how she looked as if Aaron's brother had run away from the apartment with a gun under his jacket. 'I'm sure he did it,' she said, with feelings of anger and sadness. She also feels bad for Aaron. Maria believes that Aaron's brother was the perpetrator of the shooting.

'How did he do that to Aaron?! How could he...' Maria cannot accept the evil things that Noah did to Aaron. Her eyes looked helpless and full of hope that Aaron would be able to overcome his critical condition in the operating room. Aaron was in a state of life and death now, because of the injuries he received.

Then, Aaron's assistant was seen running over to Maria. 'How is his condition?' Leo asked. And Maria's answer was just a shake of her head. She still wasn't sure about Aaron's condition in the operating room. Maria still had to wait for the doctor to come out with the results. From the look in her eyes, it could be seen very clearly that Maria was very afraid of Aaron's previous serious injury.

'Noah... he's the shooter! Why did he do this to Aaron? Isn't Aaron going to have an important meeting with him? But... W-why... what actually happened? Did they fight? What made Noah meet Aaron at the apartment and shoot him?'

Maria conveyed all the questions that had been confusing in her head for a long time. But what she got was a confused expression from Leo. 'What do you mean? Mr Noah? What's wrong with Mr. Noah? How can you accuse him of hurting Mr. Aaron?' Leo asked.

'I ran into him coming out of our apartment, he was carrying a gun under his jacket. He's the culprit! You have to catch him. He couldn't be left alone. No, I mean... I won't stay silent if something happens to Aaron.' Maria clearly shows her unwillingness, anger, and revenge for what Noah did to Aaron. 'But he shouldn't have done that to Mr. Aaron. Mr Noah couldn't possibly do something as cruel as that to Mr. Aaron...'

'I was the one who witnessed him running hastily from inside with-'

Maria's sentence was interrupted by the opening of the operating room door. And, from how the doctor's movements were tired and looked desperate when he took off his mask, followed by shaking his head, also... 'I apologize. We couldn't save Mr Aaron. The gunshot wound damaged his vital organs. The heavy bleeding he experienced was too late to treat, Mr. We couldn't save Aaron...'.

It was as if a bolt of lightning had just struck Maria. The outburst of emotion immediately gathered. And the next second she was flooded with feelings of extreme sadness. She burst into tears with all her feelings that were destroyed because of the death of her lover.

'NO!! Aaron!!!'

Maria let out a scream of disapproval and deep sadness. She couldn't accept Aaron's death in that way. 'No! Don't leave me like this, Aaron!! We have to get married!! You promised to live happily with me forever! Aahhh...'

Her body almost collapsed because of weakness at the saddest news, but she tried to see Aaron as if she wanted to stop Aaron from leaving this world forever.

Luckily, Leo was there to hold Maria back and help her control all her outbursts of sadness.

'I beg you to let him go, he will be very sad if he sees you like this...' said Leo. But Maria actually started crying even more. She struggled and wanted to reach Aaron, who was already lifeless in the operating room.

'Save him! I beg you, don't let him go to die! Please, Aaron... don't go!!'

***

Wearing a black dress and glasses that covered her puffy eyes, Maria had to experience sorrow, which was very unexpected. She continued to cry over Aaron's death, which she thought was too soon. There was still a feeling of disbelief, and deep in her heart, Maria still couldn't accept her lover's death.

The funeral took place an hour ago. And it happened desolate and as if it were being kept secret, by a famous billionaire like Aaron. There wasn't even a single report about his death. The only mourners present were people who had personal dealings with Aaron during his lifetime. Not many people appeared to see him off to his final rest. Even his business colleagues or divisional officials in his company were nowhere to be seen.

But Maria wasn't that concerned about that. She thought that perhaps it was because his death was so tragic, or that it was currently still under police investigation, or perhaps to protect the feelings and peace of the family that Aaron had left behind. The only thing that is currently going through Maria's head, is Noah and her hatred because she thinks he was the perpetrator of the shooting and made her lover die.

'Why haven't the police arrested the perpetrator yet?' Maria asked Leo.

'His death was too mysterious. All the detectives and intel are working on it.'

Maria couldn't accept Leo's answer. 'Seriously! Do you want me to believe that fucking shit? I've given my evidence to the detectives, and there's CCTV in our apartment, you'll be able to see the bastard come out and run after killing Aaron!'

Maria sounded so emotional and annoyed. But unfortunately, Aaron's assistant didn't want to believe what she said. Leo continued to deny Maria's statement about Noah, who she thought had killed Aaron. 'Your statement is not enough to prove that. And unfortunately, the CCTV was suddenly turned off that day by someone. So it couldn't record anything.'

'What?! Why are you guys suddenly so incompetent?!'

Anna felt very annoyed. She felt that Aaron's death was too complicated. Even though it was clear to her that the perpetrator was Noah. Moreover, she thought the motive was clear because Aaron and Noah had not had a good relationship. Even she wasn't sure what had made the brothers' relationship so bad all this time.

'Be patient, everything will be clear in the time. And, rather than keep thinking about who made Mr. Aaron die, I had to start thinking about the great work that Mr. Aaron did.' Leo said. 'It is a mega project with incredibly fantastic value, Mr. Aaron is the one who has all the blueprints. None of this would be possible without what only Mr. Aaron.'

Hearing Leo's explanation, Maria narrowed her eyes as if she was ready to accuse Noah by relating it to it. 'Is that mega project, that Aaron was discussing with Noah before he died? Does he want that mega project? Does he greedily want what Aaron has? Maybe... because of that Noah killed Aaron!'

'I didn't kill him...' Suddenly someone answered Maria in a calm tone but seemed very cold and scary.

And as soon as Maria turned around and found the figure who had just spoken to her. Then, her eyes immediately glared angrily, shooting him a vengeful glare. 'You! How dare you be here?!'

***

'Of course to attend my brother's funeral.'

Maria clenched her fists as if she were preparing to punch the man who had just answered her in his face. Of course, that's impossible to do. Firstly, because his facial features remind Maria of a beloved figure who unfortunately has left her. Secondly, because Noah is Aaron's older brother and is a family member who is mourning. And thirdly, everyone still doesn't believe that the man who is looking at her, without looking guilty. And doesn't seem he has done anything wrong. All these reasons made Maria restrain herself. Or she will be accused of being crazy. Even though she had just shouted at Noah who had just arrived.

'Who are you? Why do you seem to hate seeing me here? Why don't you seem to allow me to attend my brother's funeral?'

Maria smiled sarcastically at that. Then, her feet were seen stepping closer to the tall man with a body that was sturdier than his dead lover. His cold face was very different from his younger brother. Maria looked over noticing how deep and sharp his eyes were. Noah's nose is much more defined and sharp. He has a similar lip shape to Aaron, but his jaw is many times more defined. Maria found a figure that looked like a carved statue that was always displayed in museums. Maria had to admit that he was very handsome, but he seemed like a god of death. Moreover, she has accusations that she has an extraordinary grudge against him.

'You may be able to fool people, but not me. Of course, you definitely remember my face, right? You bumped into me that day! Oh, okay let me introduce myself properly to you... I am Maria Claire, the lover of the man you killed yesterday!'

'And I am... a witness to how you ran around yesterday after killing Aaron with the gun you hid under your jacket, bastard!' Maria said in a low tone but sounded full of hatred. 'And I will make sure you will be punished for it. I swear on the death of my beloved!'

'Ah... so you are my brother's lover. I understand you must really miss Aaron. That's why you're acting like this, isn't that right?'

Maria narrowed her eyes because of Noah's attitude towards her. 'You really don't deserve to be Aaron's older brother! You are a devil! You don't even have shame, don't feel guilty, and it's as if you're innocent after making him leave forever!'

Maria began to speak in a loud voice with explosive emotions.

Then, all attention is focused on her and Noah at the moment. 'You think you're smart enough after turning off the CCTV in our apartment, huh? You don't know that I gave him a pen recorder to record all the conversations that he always wears everywhere, right?'

And... Noah's eyes and expression suddenly changed right when Maria said that. A look of surprise was clearly visible there. 'Tch, I'll reveal all your crimes with that!'

She said, immediately turning around to leave the person who now had the status of the person Maria hated the most and whom she had cursed within herself.

But then Maria's hand was grabbed and pulled, by strong hands that had veins that looked like the roots of a banyan tree.

'What are you fucking doing, huh?! Let me go!!'

She was quickly and strongly dragged by Noah until she had no strength to stop him. Then, Noah managed to take her into the room, he had closed the door and locked it tightly.

'What do you mean pen recorder, huh?' His eyes were deep and sharp as he questioned Maria. 'Tch, Why? Are you afraid you'll be caught with evidence you don't know about? You're not smart enough apparently! You missed the thing about your brother who was always so forgetful that he had to remember everything with the help of a recorder!' Noah looked very unfamiliar with the information that Maria had just said.

'He's more fucking cleaver thought I thought' It was very unexpected for Maria that this thought would come out of Noah's mouth.

'You don't deserve to judge him as you like! You who have killed people but still act like innocent people!' Maria said once again with emotion and was very resistant and even unwilling to what Noah had previously said to her lover.

Then, the tension between them was very intense and increasingly high. Maria's eyes deepened into a look of hatred. Likewise with Noah, who looked very annoyed with the woman in front of him. His already firm jaw now looked sharp with a tremor of anger. 'I'll make you rot in prison for killing him! Ah, no, I will make you die too and go to hell!'

'I told you I didn't kill him!' Noah firmly denied it.

'You still want to dodge it, geez! You're so clueless!'

'You don't understand anything! You don't know that he is actually being targeted by evil bastards!

This time another statement succeeded in making Maria really couldn't stand it.

'What? being targeted by evil bastards? You're the one who made him a murder target! you're that the evil bastard! Maria shouted her disapproval and anger at Noah.

And Noah just groaned in annoyance and clenched his jaw at Maria's attitude.

'Whatever, I don't give a fuck with you. but... where is the pen recorder? Tell me. How does it look? Where does he keep it? Was that on the jacket he wore last time?' Anna chuckled 'Why? You want to take it and get rid of it, huh? Do you want to destroy the only remaining evidence? You want- Uhmm!!!' Because he couldn't stand it, Noah ended up grabbing Maria's face roughly. until she groaned and could no longer finish her words.

'Tell me! Or you will be the next victim!'

'Look at that, you're even admitting it now. So after killing my lover, you want to kill me, huh?'

Noah looked so angry with Maria who kept accusing him even though he had tried to give her an explanation and even a warning.

'Don't throw a tantrum. I just don't want you to be the next victim! It's enough for me to see Aaron die because of that bastard devil!'

'You're the one who might make me your next murder victim! Stop blaming others! You are so heartless! You heartless devil!' Maria shouted with explosive, extreme anger.

But secretly, it was nothing compared to the emotions being suppressed by the man in front of her. Noah was so angry that he wanted to go crazy because of the stubborn woman in front of him. 'You don't fucking understand anything! You don't know that all this time he was threatened and had to hand over many victims to the devil's bastards!'

***

For a few moments, Maria couldn't say anything. everything that Noah said was unacceptable to her, it was too hard to believe. Because all she knew was that everything was fine. Just until yesterday Aaron was suddenly shot and is now resting forever in his very quiet cemetery.

'W-what fucking are you talking about? You really are the craziest person I have ever met! Don't make up stories, Noah!'

'I'm not crazy! Aaron is the crazy one! He's the one who always follows the orders of a crazy demon who wants victims for their damn research and projects!'

Noah kept saying all these new things that were very strange and sounded crazy to Maria's ears.

And it was difficult for Maria to believe that. Especially since in her mind, she was already convinced that Noah was the one who killed Aaron because of the collision yesterday.

Moreover, so far Aaron has been fine. he didn't look like someone who was under pressure and threatened by someone.

'Don't make up stories to provoke me. You just want to distract me because I was the witness after you murdered Aaron yesterday, right?! You... your gun... I know for sure it was you who killed him with your gun! You're the one making the investigation difficult! Where did you go with your gun, huh? I'll make sure you stand trial with that gun and I'm the witness in court, bastard!'

Noah ran out of ways to explain it to the stone-headed Maria. He looked away and punched the wall next to Maria as an outlet. Until one thing came into his head.

'You... I ask you, have you ever been asked to drink a liquid that looks like red juice?' Maria's eyes immediately widened completely because Noah asked.

'W-what's wrong with the red juice?'
