TOO LATE TO WANT ME BACK, MR CEO CHAPTER 57
AuroraAfter identifying that my sister could be one of the potential threats I need to look out for as I watched my back, Patrice promised to look into it, and Sarah Fay thought she should keep a peeled eye on my socials. I agreed.I returned to work on Monday, expecting the usual Monday morning workflow that I’d gotten used to. Shots of coffee, attending endless meetings, reviewing proposals, approving and rejecting projects, and heading to Theo’s school during closing time, just in case Damien’s fatherhood had died off.I wasn’t thinking about him too much this period, but that doesn’t make us straight. I decided to give him that break to address what I really want, and then give him a chance to wrap up everything he needs to wrap up, in case I feel the need to give him a chance again.I was halfway through the agenda of the third meeting of the day, planning my questions when my office phone rang. I glanced at it, having a strong urge to ignore it, but answered at the last minute

DamienI gaped in a rude shock at the documents and the fact that Marcus had presented before me, realizing that I’d been living in a fantasy.And no matter how many times I realized it, my brain wasn’t just getting used to it. In fact, it made everything feel so much worse.And to crown it all, Marcus was not done with the troubles he was prepared to give me. If anything, he was just getting started. I felt tempted to believe that he was enjoying this, but his face said otherwise. So, it’s either he was a very good actor or he was genuinely concerned.“There’s something else,” he’d said.I looked up at him. “Bad news?”He was thoughtful for a moment. “Depends on context.”“Hit me.”He pulled the envelope to him, his hands pulling out a stack from the envelope as it visibly shrank. He sorted through the documents in his hands before handing me one. “I dug into the hospital libraries,” He continued, shrugging. “It’s easy to know where to look when you have a nurse to show you exactly

AuroraThis weekend, Damien didn’t show up as he would. Theo practically flew down the stairs to tell me that Damien wouldn’t be joining us.He’d wined and cried and begged me to call him. I explained to him that I can’t help it if Damien is busy, but Theo insisted.Right now, he slept off on the couch, leaving me really considering calling Damien.Painfully considering it.Patrice's visit to the house killed that idea. And apparently, she didn’t show up alone. I’d abandoned my laptop on the space in the couch to answer the doorbell when I saw two ladies grinning at me on the other side.Patrice, and a pretty brunette whose job had literally become busier than mine, had to show up during the weekendSarah Fay.“Sarah,” I wrapped her in a hug as soon as I saw her. She held on tight. “It’s been a while,” she chuckled.I pulled back. “How has it been these days?”She grinned. “Black coffee, while trying to wipe off messes that have no business being in the media.”Patrice was smiling

DamienThe visit to Theo’s school, with Aurora beside me, watching a boy way too confident for his age, reminded me of a memory stuck to me like my own skin.No matter how many years passed, and life changed, it was always with me and wouldn’t let go.The rain, the smell of antiseptic, a hospital corridor that appeared incredibly long, and a little me sitting in the hospital garden, holding a girl with a neck collar.I could still remember every second. How I’d walked into the hospital gardens that day.How I sat on an empty bench, barely noticing when a girl joined me, and without trying to comfort me, she simply stayed.It’s been nineteen years since that.It was the weekend, and I’d called Leila earlier, noting that I wouldn’t be at the office. She had rambled and snapped, and that was it.The good thing about Leila was that she’d still do the work she had to do after all her complaining and ramblings. It’s why she’d been at the company for the longest of time.A knock later, a s

DamienWith Aurora looking like she could use more space than normal, I decided I should invest my time into being a dad instead.I automatically planned my life like that of the other fathers, rearranging my meetings and active hours in the office around school events.I did it so well that I remembered more classroom schedules than actual work meetings,I obsessed over being on time to Theo’s school more than I obsessed over meeting deadlines.Leila thought it was embarrassing. I thought so too, but the grin on Theo’s face whenever I showed up at his school made me continue either way.Today was one of those days. I was already concluding a report so I could leave for Theo’s school when a figure stormed towards my office in all hell and rage.Leila tossed the folder on my table, visibly fuming. “This is the third time you’re doing this.”I looked up from my laptop. “Doing what?”“Cancelling a board meeting you rescheduled,” she cried.I glanced at the folder. “I didn’t cancel the m

AuroraA day later, I was staring at my screen angrily, thinking of the many ways I could ruin the life of the hoodlum sending these threats to my email.Apparently, whoever this person was had sent three messages in the space of 48 hours, all of them anonymous.Completely untraceable.The first one entered three hours after my confrontation with Damien in the conference room, frustrating me.The second one came in later that evening while I was preparing dinner. Leon told me to reach out to the cops. I’d ignored him, not seeing the need to involve the cops yet.This morning, I was staring at another one, minutes away from an outrage. At this rate, if I met the sender, I might strangle them.They were not just intruding into my life. They were ruining my peace.Damien had revealed the other day that Genevieve had threatened him about me, and she was responsible for the first scandal.But with the rate at which these messages rushed in, I was beginning to suspect that Genevieve wasn’t

DamienSure, the slap stung.But that wasn’t what stayed with me.My pride was stung. But that didn’t hurt so much. That wasn’t the problem at all.The problem was the pain in Aurora’s eyes.It was vivid. It was glaring. It was a painful reminder of my painful decision.I couldn’t stop seeing it.I

DamienI couldn’t stop thinking about what Marcus told me before promising to look deeper into what happened after my divorce from Aurora.He had mentioned something about a car accident, but stated that he didn’t have the full details.The anticipation was killing me, and I hated waiting.Seventee

DamienThe silence in my office was suffocating.I sat behind my desk without turning on the lights.The city glittered beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows. New York was stretched out beneath me in gold and white streaks, but I barely saw any of it.My mind was still trapped in Aurora's office.Sti

AuroraThey say you can never run away from your past no matter what. But I was determined to leave mine behind.Becoming a boss lady in the fashion industry was easier said than done, as I was quickly coming to realize.The first few years, I had worked nonstop, applying to fashion houses, sending
