TAMING MR JERKFACE: Own By An Overbearing CEO

Debby's pov

The next day...!

Today's sunday but Andre's gone to his company to complete some works... while I'm at Anna's... sitting on a sofa with my legs crossed.

A plate of sliced apples on my lap... Anna sits opposite me apply some kind of cream on her hands.

"So... you said you had that dream last night?" She asked.

"Yeah.. I mean, it's being so long since I dreamt of her... why did I have to dream about her again now?"

I pinned my fork on a slice of apple and chews on it slowly.

"Maybe you came across someone recently and it triggered your memory of her!"

I frown and shake my head... I came across someone?! I haven't met with any strange woman recently.

"I don't think so, Anna... That can't be it, I don't remember coming across anyone recently"

"Then I don't know why you dreamt of her... But did Andre ask you about it this morning?"

"No".

We both went through our normal routine like nothing had happened.... also, he didn't give me any weird glances.

Anna nods thoughtfully.

"Andre is wise and considerate... He knows you wouldn't want to talk about it, so, he let you be... I guess he's waiting for you to tell him about it whenever you're ready" She might be right.

"You know, Debby... if I were you, I'd have long stop looking for her, after all she didn't cared about you!"

"But it doesn't change the fact that she's still my mother... besides, I just want to know the real reason she left, also to let her know I'm doing fine since these years" Anna stops rubbing her hands and looks at me.

"Debs, she was heartless and doesn't deserves your efforts looking for her!"

I sighed deeply and decided to change the topic... talking about her makes me sad and I don't wanna be sad now.

"So, Anna tomorrow's Monday.. how are you going with the designs?"

"Right, you just reminded me... I'm done with the designs and I've hand them over to CHIC!"

CHIC is the company's name... The company we have contract with.

"That's great!"

"Yeah.. but it's a couple's design"

"Couple's design?"

"Yep. You and Lucas will have to come out together... with your arms locked together like a couple"

Me and Lucas.... thankfully, Andre doesn't have to see this or hell is gonna break loose.

My phone beep and I checked... it's a text from Andre.

*Hi, Angel.. my trip is tomorrow, don't wait up cause I might come home late tonight!*

Even though he said I shouldn't wait up, I'll still wait up for him.. like seriously, I'm beginning to grow on him. "Who's that?" Anna asked.

"It's Andre"

"Oh!"

I'm suddenly craving for ice cream... I sprint up from the sofa and snatch my jacket from the armrest.

"Where are you going?"

"To get some ice cream!" I replied.

"Wait, I'm coming with you, I need ice cream too!"

She rushed towards her room to get changed... I guess.

*******

"But Anna, your design look ridiculous!" I mocked Anna as I swipe through the photos of the design on her phone.

We've got our ice creams and we're exiting the ice cream parlour.

She scoffed.

"You know nothing about fashion!"

She tries to snatch her phone from me but we ended up bumping into a woman and spilled our ice cream all over her.

I raised my head to apologise but was left dumbfounded.... she looks twenty but a closer look you'll realize she's in her forties.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, we were careless and...."

She passed me a smile.

"It's fine dear... I wasn't paying attention to where I was going too" she said calmly.

I smiled back at her. "My friend and I are really sorry for staining your clothes...."

"It's fine...."

Just then a familiar voice cuts her off.

"Mom, let's go"

Diego?! I grabbed Anna's hand and smiled apologetically at her.

"Sorry, ma'am but we really have to go!"

I pulled Anna with me and ran in the opposite direction... I don't want Diego to start processing his love to me in public. "Debby..." I pulled my cheek. "Why did we run away.. I thought I heard Diego's voice, you didn't let me say hi to him!"

"Maybe next time, when it's just the two of you"

"Whatever! Let's go home!" She pulls me towards the exit.

Writer's POV

An unknown hospital...!

On a hospital bed lies a woman... a drip fixed in her hand... oxygen mask on her nose... and a heart monitor next to her bed, beeping slowly.

Lucas walks in with a basket of fruits and placed it on the table... He pulls out a chair and sits next to her.

He gently takes her free hand in his and squeeze it gently... He shuts his eyes and sucks in some air.

"Mom... take your time to recuperate.. leave other things for me... I promise, I'll find the person behind all this... I'll find who made our family suffer and make them pay dearly for it!" He promised her. His eyes held determination... anger... hatred... pain!

Debby's POV

The next morning.... Trip day!

I sat on our bed sulking... my chin rests on my hands.

"Angel, help me with my tie please" Andre tells me.

I scoffed and turned to the bed, my stomach lying flat and my legs dancing in the air.

I reach for my earpiece on the nightstand and blast my favorite song of all time...*Side to side.. by Ariana Grande*

Turning the volume to the fullest and begin singing along... with my eyes closed.

Suddenly, the music stopped and my eyes snaps open... Andre held my phone in his hand with a gloating smirk on.

I glared at him and stretch out my hand.

"Hand it over now!" I commands.

"No!" I narrowed my eyes. "Help me with my tie first!"

"No, unless you let me see you off to the airport!"

He sighs and turned back to the mirror... He does his tie himself.

"Angel... try to understand, I really want you to see me off but if I do, I might find it hard to leave you behind"

I rolled my eyes. This is the argument we've been having since morning.

"Fine! I won't see you off!"

"So, I'll be gone for five days... try to spend some time with Mom and don't stay out late...."

"Andre, I get it... I'll be just fine"

He turns to me and pulls me up, he rest his head on mine and closed his eyes.

"Please take care of yourself for me!"

"I will"

Just then his phone rings and reaches for it from his back pocket.... It's Phoebe calling.

"Phoebe!"

I rolled my eyes, what a great way to answer his phone.

"I'll be right there!" Then he hangs up. "It's time, please, Angel don't.....".

"I know!" I held his face and pecks his lips "Safe trip!"

I gesture towards his briefcase and he reached for it... I got off the bed and pushed him outside, then I slammed the door shut.

"Angel?!" He growls from outside.

"Go on, or you'll miss your flight"

There's a moment of silence. "Alright, I'll call you when I take off!" He said and walks away.

I sighed and fall on my bed. Now it's just me alone in this big mansion.

Ugh, I'll be so bored to death... maybe I should call Anna over.

*Hey! Anna, come over to Andre's.. I'm bored!*

I sent her a quick text. My stomach growls and I cling on it... I'd better go check what Natalie is cooking.

Writer's POV

At the airport...!

"Mr Knight, this way please" Phoebe leads Andre to his private jet.

Andre halts abruptly when he sees Olivia inside.... great anger build up inside him, he balled his fist and clenched his jaw.

He turns to Phoebe and glares at her.

"What is she doing here?!" He grits out angrily.

"I.. I.. don't know, Mr Knight" she stutters out.

"You're the only one that knows the date and time of my departure... How come she knows it too?!" He hissed.

Olivia gets up and catwalk towards them.... She puts on a flirtatious smile.

"Hello... Andre!" She tries to link their arms but Andre caught her hand and twists it.

"What are you doing here?!" He growled in her face.

She tries to snatch her hand but couldn't as Andre has it in a very tight grip.

"I'm obviously here to fly to spain with you" she said.

Andre look around with a deep frown.

"This is my private jet!" Andre reminds her.

"I know" she replied.

"Good! Get out!"

He lets go of her hand and walk past her to a seat next to the window.... Olivia rolled her eyes and rushed to him.

She sits next to him and flips her hair... winks at him.

"You know, spain will be fun with me accompanying you....

"Leave now before you'll regret it!"

"I have missed you... you miss me too, right?"

"Olivia fucking leave!!"

Right now, Andre is barely controlling his anger.

"Why do you want me to leave so bad?"

"Because I hate you!" He snaps at her.

Olivia chuckles lightly and shake her head.

"You don't hate me, you just miss our good days.... you know, I can remind you"

"Get out or....."

Olivia interrupts him as she crash her lips on his... Andre quickly pushed her off him and she lands butt on the floor.

In fit of anger, Andre slaps her harshly on her face.. not caring where his palm lands.

"Ow!" Olivia wince and covers her left eye.

"You don't wanna leave? Fine! I'll leave!"

Andre kicks her and walk past her... He meets Phoebe outside and growled at her.

"Get me the next flight and I don't want to Olivia!"

"Yes, Mr Knight!"

****

Meanwhile, Olivia gets up with a smirk and turns to the man behind her.

"Did you capture that moment?"

"Yes"

"Good!" Her smirk grows wider.

Let's see how strong Debby Ryan can be!

Debby's pov

Andre's mansion...!

I groan loudly and turn off the TV... Andre just left and I'm already bored.

Just then the doorbell rang and I quickly rushed to the door... I flung it open and I fell in Anna's arms.

"Oh, my darling.. you're finally here!" I exaggerate.

"Drama queen" she pushes me aside and walks in like she own the mansion.

"Woah! Debs.. Andre brought you to heaven yet you're blaspheming him!"

Really?! Heaven?!

"Why not try be in my shoes"

She scoff.

"If I'm in your shoes... enjoying this luxury, I wouldn't mind if Andre is a little bit cray-cray!"

She falls on a sofa and tossed her handbag on the table... she kicked off her shoes and they fell on different directions.

"Hey! Don't break anything!" I scolded her.

"Your boyfriend is a billionaire, breaking a table won't cost him a thing"

Yeah, Andre is a billionaire but that mean my friends and I will destroy his properties..... right?

"Anyway... thanks for coming, you can spend two or three days with me and enjoy some of this luxury with me!"

She quickly sat up with a very bright smile.

"Really?! You mean I can stay with you in this mansion?!" She asked enthusiastically.

"Yeah"

"Yay!!" She jumps throwing her hands in the air. "We're gonna....."

My phone beep and I tune Anna off.... I guess it's Andre calling to let me know he's about to take off.

But surprisingly it's a.... photo?

I opened it and my heart stopped.... I fall back on the sofa and my phone fell off my hand.

I begin to feel my heart tighten and squeeze in pain.
