TAMING MR JERKFACE: Own By An Overbearing CEO

Debby's POV

Andre stops in front of Anna's apartment... I unfasten my seatbelt and turns to him with a gentle smile.

"I'll go now.... and you, are you gonna go back to your office? or you're gonna go home?"

"Office. Call me when you're done, I'll come pick you up!"

"Ok!"

He leans forward and kisses my forehead. I wink at him and quickly alight... I wave at him as he drives off.

I head towards Anna's door and press the bell button.

"Bloody asshole!" I hear Anna complain from inside.

"Who in hell is disturbing my nap time!!" She growled.

What?! Her nap time?! I forgot to check the time... I guess I just successfully land myself in Anna's scolding award.

Here's the thing, Anna doesn't joke with her nap time... something about communicating with her future self. Dramatic much!

The door slams open and Anna stood in front of me with a deadly glare on her face, like she's ready for a third world war!

"How dare you disturb my sleep?!" She grabs my left ear and pulls down on it.... without opening her eyes.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" She pulls on it more. "You're killing me! Anna it's me!" I winced but she still didn't let go of my ear.... or even open her eyes. "It's you.... Who?!"

"It's me! It's me! Debby!" I screamed.

She abruptly let go of my ear and opens her eyes.... Regret flash across her eyes when she saw it's actually me.

"Oh my God! Debby!" She spreads her arms to pull me in for a hug but I walked past her... bumping her shoulder and strolls into her living room.

I rub my ear softly, glaring daggers at her.

"What are you?! A beast?!" I growled.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know it's you"

I didn't reply her.

"Wait... Did you get my message wrong, I said you and Lucas should come try my design tomorrow.... I wasn't expecting you today"

Her message?

Oh, right! She sent me a text that she had a new design.

"Of course, actually, I didn't come here for the design"

She frowns.

"Not for the design? Then why did you come?"

"Olivia Thompson!"

Her frown deepens.

"Olivia? Did she bully you again?!"

I shake my head. "Remember Andre and I went over to his parents' for lunch?"

"Yes... wait, I forgot to ask you, how did it go?"

I sighed and rest my head on the armrest of her sofa.

"Olivia was also invited"

"What?!"

"Yeah... Andre's grandma invited her... that old hag!" Not to be rude... but I really hate Andre's grandma for inviting her. "How is Olivia connected to their family?"

"She's Andre's ex.... and literally, she's the reason Andre is behaving so cray-cray!"

Anna clenched her jaws and narrowed her eyes.

"Hmm... so, Olivia wasn't just your nightmare, she's also your Andre's nightmare!"

I nod but her words stuck in my head... My Andre! I slap her head lightly.

"Ow! What's that for?!"

"What do you mean my Andre?"

She rolled her eyes and smile.

"Anyways, tell me everything that happened"

"I need water first... I'm patched"

She got up and rushed to the fridge, she came back with a bottle of water and hand it to me.

I downed it within minutes and placed the empty bottle on the table..... Anna is looking at me with her eyes wide open.

"Oh my goodness! Debby, do you have a water tank in your stomach?!"

"I'm about to tell you how I battled with Olivia.... I'll need more than a bottle of water!" Dramatically making gestures with my hands.

Anna and I shared a short laugh.

"Ok, get on with your story!" She said.

"So, remember four days ago I told you about a man and his wife offering me money to marry their son?"

She nods eagerly.

"Well, their Andre's parents!"

"What?!" She exclaimed loudly.... her eyes almost bulging out of her eyes sockets.

"Yeah.... I was shocked too!"

She gripped my arm tightly.

"Thank heavens you didn't accept their money.... with your Andre's temper, who knows what he would have done!"

"Right?... And can you please stop calling him my Andre?"

"Why should I? He's yours!" She said stubbornly.

I'm not ready to argue with her... No, not that I'm not ready, I don't have the strength... I used up all my strength on Olivia. "So, what happened next?"

"So, we got inside and just as we were about to eat Olivia came and...."

*

*

"... And now, she's promised to get Andre back at all cost... I don't know how to fight against her, Anna!" I concluded.

Just as I stopped talking, Anna burst into laughter as if she's been holding it up.

She's laughing very hard, holding her stomach and a single tear flows down her cheek...... to the extent I'm feeling kinda embarrassed.

"Ok, can you tell me why you are laughing so hard?!" I sneered at her.

She simply continues laughing until she got tired and sobers up.

"I'm... sorry about that but you...." She burst into another fits of laughter... but quickly shuts up when she met my gaze.

"Ok, ok... I'll stop laughing" she takes a deep breath. "But you couldn't come with any nickname other Olivia slutty Thompson? Did it make any sense to you?" God! Was it this that got her laughing out her guts? This girl's... I don't know.

"Could you have come up with anything better?!"

She thinks for a while and shake her head.

"Fair enough!"

I eyed her... and she barred her teeth at me.

"Oh, Debby, you said I shouldn't call him yours but you already promised to love him and only him.... Don't you think that's a bit selfish and possessive?" Shit! Why did I tell her every detail.

"I only told him that to get over whatever belief Olivia installed in him"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah?" I replied.

Anna shakes her head.

"No! I don't think that's the reason!"

She got up and begin to walk round me, staring at me like she's trying to figure out something.

She stops in front of me, placed her hands on both sides of the sofa and squats in front of me.

"I think you love him!"

"What?!" I shouted.

"Yes.... You've fallen in love with him!"

I pushed her away gently and she returns to her sofa.

"I don't love him and will never love him!"

How can I fall in love with that beast.... With a temper as his I can't fall in love with him.

"Debby, you love him but you don't know it yet"

"I said I don't love him"

She sighs and fall back on her chair.

"Fine then! Since you don't love him just leave him... After all he forced you to move in with him... Don't worry, I'll give you money... you can go far away from here, change your identity and start a new life....."

"No!" I cut her off.

Don't ask me why cause I don't know why I cut her off. She smiles and sat upright.

"Now I understand.... You're in denial. You don't want to believe you've fallen for him!"

Fallen for him? Why will I fall in love with Andre?

I only like caring and gentle guys like...... Lucas. Andre is too possessive... Jealous.... Grumpy.... Stubborn.... but he's not stubborn to me though, he listens to me.

Ugh! I don't love him, I'm only trying to help him.... I can't fall in love with him just intervals of four days... right?

"Anna, let's forget about love first.... Help me think of ways to win Olivia, I can't let her have Andre again... She'll destroy him more!"..

She smiles and shake her head and mutters coherent words under her breath.

"You don't have to fight with her or win her"

"What do you mean?" I asked... confused at her words.

"You already won the fight even without fighting... all you have to do is make Olivia give up"

I rolled my eyes.

"Can you speak english, Anna?"

"I spoke english!"

I sighed.

"Well, this is america, we speak english or spanish.... If you can't speak english then speak spanish!"

Anna smirked at my frustrated expression.

"Just say you don't understand what I mean"

"I don't understand what you mean!"

She laughed. "You're too dumb"

"Tell me something I don't know!"

She sighed.

"Well, what I mean is... Andre is already head over heels for you, all you have to do is bring him out of his comfort zone.... introduce him to your world, do what you normally do on daily basis with him.... help him see how beautiful love really is.... show him the world and how colourful it is when you are in love!"

Hmm.... smart! Now I get her.... I can take him to the beach... zoo.... aquarium.... we can go shopping together!

I sprint off my chair and throw my arms around her... locking her in a tight hug.

"Anna! You're the best!" I shower her face with kisses.

"Ewww!.... stop it... I.. I.. can't breathe!"

I quickly lets her go and she gasp for air.

"Are you tryna kill me, Debby?"

"Well, take that as pay back for tryna pull off my ear!"

"You're a maniac!"

I bring out my tongue.

"I think, I'll start charging you... cause I'm your love consultant now"

"Love consultant? You made that word up, right?"

"Whateves!"

Just then my stomach growls and I remember I barely eat at the lunch.... I was busy fighting with Olivia and I forgot what I went there for!

"Wait, let me change into something else.... we'll go to Macdonald's"

"Hmm" I simply hummed and she rushed to her room.

I believe Anna will spend thirty minutes changing into one dress, it's best I keep myself busy until then..... I reached for my phone and begin to play Candy Crush.

Writer's pov Thompson's residence...

Olivia angrily marched into their living room and tossed her bag on a nearby chair.

"Grandma! Grandma!" She yells as she fumes in anger.

A woman in her mid forties rushed towards her with a worried expression.

"Olivia, what happened? Who got you angry?"

"Mom, where's grandma? I need to see grandma now!" She said rudely.

"Your grandma is sleeping... but tell me who offended you?" Her mother asked.

If you're loving the book, nel5s.org is where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you! Olivia pushed her mother from her way and angrily slumps on a chair... her legs crossed.

"I want Andre back! I want him back!"

Her mother sits next to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Olivia, you know that's not possible, you..."

"Why is it not possible?!"

"Remember what you did to him... It's impossible to go back after that" her mother explained calmly.

She shrug her mother's hand away and face her with a very harsh glare.

"I didn't do nothing to him, I was only trying to make him face reality"

"But you didn't go about it the right way...."

"Shut up, Martha!" She cuts off her mother (Martha).

Martha stares at her in shock, she can't believe the child she brought up is possessing this character.

"Olivia...."

"Don't speak! I knew you wouldn't help me, after all I'm not your biological daughter!"

Martha frowns and got up.

"What are you talking about, Olivia!"

"You think I don't know, you never treated or love me like your real daughter.... You only married into our family because of money!"

"What...."

"Don't try to deny it... Grandma already told me everything!"

Martha simply stood, perplexed at Olivia's words.

"Olivia, if you don't change your character, Andre won't look at you twice"

"I said shut up! I want Andre and I must have him!"

Just then footsteps are heard walking down the stairs.... Olivia and Martha turned... an old woman is coming down.

Olivia rushed towards her with a wide smile.

"Grandma!"

Her grandma smiled at her warmly.... Olivia held her hand and helped her to a chair.

"I was hearing some noises... What happened, darling?" Her grandma asked her.

Olivia rest her head on her grandma's lap and her grandma pets her back.

"Grandma... I said I want Andre back but mom refused to help me"

Her grandma glares at Martha but turns to Olivia with a smile.

"You want Andre back?" ..

Olivia nods.

"Then you'll have him, I'll help you get him"

"Really grandma?!"

"Yes, after all... You are my precious granddaughter!"

Olivia's smile brightly and passed Martha and look that says "in your face!"

"Mom, you can't help him get Andre back, she....."

"Enough!" Olivia's grandma cuts Martha off with a raised hand. "There's nothing on this earth that my granddaughter wants that I won't give to her, she deserves the best and even more......" She glares at Martha. "Unlike that worthless son of yours.... all he do all day is drink with his friends and carry girls! You really need to teach him some manners..... Sometimes I wonder if he's really my grandchild... I wonder if our Thompson's blood runs in his vein!"

Martha didn't say a word as she fights to hold back the tears in her eyes.

"Olivia, dear, why do you suddenly want Andre back so desperately?" Grandma asked Olivia.

Olivia raised her head and clenched her hands.

"Debby Ryan!" She growled.

Martha tensed at the mention of this name.... she looked at Olivia strangely.

"Yes! Debby Ryan.... she wants to steal Andre from me but I won't let that. I must have him back because I don't lose!"

"Debby Ryan?" She asked as it to confirm if she heard it correctly.

Grandma smiles proudly.

"Of course, you don't lose!" She kissed Olivia's head.

Martha walks away from there quietly and head back to her room.... She opens her drawer and takes out a button and begins to stare at it.

Tears flowed down her eyes and she kissed the button.
