TAMING MR JERKFACE: Own By An Overbearing CEO

Writer's POV

Anna's apartment....!

Sean stops at the front of Anna's apartment and opens the door for her.... She steps out. "Thank you... I had a really good time" she said.

Sean shakes his head.

"No, I should thank you instead... I haven't being this happy for a very long time!" He said.

Anna simply smiles... she flashes back to how they spent their date.

They first went to a five star restaurant... ordered the most expensive drink and food... then went to a carnival.

"Baby, about what I told you... what do you say?"

Anna kept quiet and stared directly in his eyes... as if she's trying to find sincerity in his eyes.

"What did you tell me?" She asked.

Sean reaches for her hand and pulls her closer to himself.

"I want you to be mine.. be my girlfriend" he repeated the words he said at the restaurant.

Anna withdraws her hands and took a step back... creating a little space between them.

"I don't know"

"Why?"

"Don't you think you're too good for me?"

He frowns.

"How?"

"You're perfect... handsome.. rich.. a freaking billionaire!" She laughs dryly. "But look at me... I'm a nobody!"

Sean closes the space between them and pulls her into a hug... he kisses her head.

"You're the perfect one to me. I might be rich but that doesn't make me happy... My happiness is you, you're more important than wealth"

"But what about people.. the press.. they'll critizise me for being with you for your wealth"

Sean sigh.

"Baby, don't let them bother you, you shouldn't listen to anyone" "But...."

"Let's take Andre and Debby as an example.. Andre is five times richer than I am.. he's also the heir to his billionaire father's companies.. but how many people critizise Debby.. how many people told her she is with him because of his money?" Anna thinks about it and nod in agreement... she's only just scared of gossips.

"Baby, you're not gonna be alone... I'll be there all along, just say yes!"

She sighs and see no need of accepting him.. after all she also have feelings for him.

She grabs his face and crashes her lips on his.... Sean was taken off guard, so he hesitated for a brief second before reciprocating the kiss.

She breaks it off when she's had enough and out of breath... she pulls away and smiled shyly at her action.

Sean stares at her in confusion and also awestruck... he wasn't expecting her to kiss him.

"I don't know what that was for but I definitely enjoyed it!" He said.

"That's my answer!"

"Your answer?"

"Yes!" She said.

Sean tilts his head but quickly understands what she meant.

"Yes?" He asked.

"Yes!"

"You agreed to be my girlfriend?"

She nods and Sean sweeps her off her feet... she released a gasp.

He twirls her around and whoops happily.

"She said yes! She said yes!" He yells.

He stops and crashes his lips on hers.... kissing her roughly.. like he's trying to confirm if he was actually dreaming or reality.

He breaks the kiss and stares in her eyes... excitement and true happiness shining in his eyes.

He rests his forehead on hers... he closes his eyes momentarily.

"You really said yes?"

Anna smiles.

"I said yes.. but try your very best to not break my heart or I swear I'll...."

He cuts her off with a short kiss.

"I swear on my life... I won't ever cheat on you!"

She giggles.

"Good! I'm quite tired if you don't mind me going in now"

He groans in disappointment and stomps his feet like a kid.

"I'm gonna miss you!"

"Hey! Behave yourself.. we just started dating. Or do you want a red card?" She threatens him.

He quickly lets go of her and took a step back.

"No! No! You can go in!" He said.

She laughs quietly and clears her throat.

"That's more like it!"

"Hmm... so, tomorrow.. am I gonna see you?"

"Yes.. I'm your girlfriend, you don't need permission from me to visit me"

"Oh!"

She shakes her head and head towards the door... she opens it and turned to wave Sean good night.

But she bumped into him and growled.

"Sean?!"

"Yeah?"

"Don't you think you're too close?"

He looks down and realizes he's really too close.. he steps back.

"I'll call you when I get home"

"Ok!" She replies.

Sean leans forward and kissed her forehead.

"Good night, baby!" He said and winks at her.

Anna blushes and utter a quiet good night... she enters her apartment and slams the door shut.

She rests her back on the door and releases a long sigh... she giggles and jump happily.

Debby's pov

The morning.... 11am...!

I woke up and found Andre's side of bed empty... I run my hand through it.. it's cold.

Maybe he's already gone to work... but today's saturday, he doesn't go to the office on Saturdays.

Hm.. who knows, he might have some urgent job to do.

Wait.... his credit card. Don't tell me he took it with him.

I search around and saw it on the table where I left it last night... I released a long sigh.

Just then I heard a knock on the door.

"Ma'am?" I hear Natalie's voice from the other side.

"Come in!" I answered.

The door push open and Natalie walks in.

"Good morning, Natalie!" I greets her politely.

"Good morning, ma'am" she replied with a smile.

I climbed down from the bed and head towards the bathroom.

"Why are you looking for me?"

"Oh.. it's your breakfast, I wanted to inform you... Mr Knight just called and asked me if you've had your breakfast yet and I said no... So he said I should come remind you"

I paused and turn to him.

"He called you?" She nods. "Why didn't he call me?" I asked rhetorically.

But Natalie answered anyway.

"He also said to remind you to remove your phone from silent mode"

Right my phone is on silent. I nod and rushed to the nightstand for my phone.

"I'll come down soon, let me freshen up real quick!" I told her.

She nods and head out... I open my phone and saw twenty-seven missed calls from Andre.

I rolled my eyeballs... Why don't he just power off my phone.

Right then the phone starts ringing again... It's Andre.

I quickly press the answer button and bring it to my ear.

"Hello, Andre?"

"Angel, what the fuck?! Are you alright?! Where did you go?! Why didn't you answer your phone when I was calling?! Do you know how worried I was?!" He attacked me with questions. I simply rolled my eyes and shake my head.... My boyfriend is one of a kind.

"Angel?! Are you there?!"

"I'm fine, Andre... My phone was on silent mode and I was sleeping so I didn't see it ringing!"

I hear him take deep breaths.

"Don't do this next time.. I was scared something happened to you!" He scolds me.

"I'm fine!"

"Have you had breakfast yet?"

"No"

"No?! Do you know what time it is now?!"

"Hmm!" I hummed.

"Go to Natalie now... tell her to make you fresh breakfast and eat now!"

"I'll do that later"

"Later? Why can't you do it now?"

"I need to freshen up first, I just woke up from sleep"

"Oh!"

"Yeah, oh!" I mocked him.

Then I remembered he left the mansion on a saturday.

"Andre? Where are you?"

There's silence from his side.. though I can hear other vehicles honking in the background, which means he's driving.

"Where are you, Andre?" I asked again.

"Oh.. Angel, I'm.. I.. Angel... "

Why is he stuttering?

"Speak clearly.. where are you?"

He clears his throat.

"I'm at the office!"

I scoff mentally... He wants to lie but he's not a good liar.

"Your office? Does your office have moving vehicles now?"

There's a pause.

"I meant, I'm on my way to the office!"

I narrowed my eyes... he's lying.

"Andre, you're lying! Where. Are. You?!"

"Angel, I'm driving.. it's not safe to talk on the phone while driving... I'll talk to you later!"

"Don't you have a...." And he hangs up.

I sighed, he's clearly lying. Just then my phone beep and I checked.

A message from unknown number?

I quickly open it and read its content.

*Let's meet at FK's... I have something very important to tell you.... Anna!*

I frown... Anna sent this?

This message is quite suspicious but I must check it out!

With that thought in my mind I rushed towards the bathroom.

Writer's pov

"You haven't told me the reason you dragged me all the way from my home with you!" Michael told Andre.

Andre sees a space and parks his car... they both got off.

Michael looked at the building before him and turns back to Andre with his mouth hanging open.

"What the fuck are we doing here?!"

"Buy a ring!" Andre simply replies and head inside.

Michael runs to catch up with him.

"Buy a ring?!"

Andre nods.

"Why?!"

"To marry Angel"

Michael stops walking and stares at him strangely.

"You only met for three weeks and you already wanna propose?!"

Andre frown.

"I know what I want!"

"Huh?"

"I love her.. I don't see any reason to wait"

Michael nods thoughtfully.

"Yeah, she's a beautiful lady with a good heart... I wouldn't wait if I were you too"

Andre nods and look around, thinking where to start looking for the perfect ring.

"Wait a minute..." Andre faces him. "Andre, the you I know wouldn't know engagement comes before wedding... Who taught you?" "Nobody.. do I need someone to teach me?" Andre asked in confusion.

"No.. I mean.. how did you know it then?"

Andre tucked his hands in his pockets.

"I googled it!"

"You what?!"

"I googled it!"

"I heard what you said... but that's a foolish question, how did you ask google?"

Andre's frown deepens.

"I simply ask how to make the woman I love marry me!" He said like it's something everybody knows.

Michael sighs.

"You were the best student in our school but you're just too clueless when it comes to love matters!"

Andre smacks the back of Michael's head.

"Did you tell Debby about the ring?"

"No.. it's said to surprise her with the proposal"

Michael shakes his head.

"I don't know what to say... Let's just buy the ring!"

Andre nod.

"Oh, what kind of ring are you looking for?"

"The kind that defines my Angel"

"And that is?"

"Simple yet elegant!"

They stops at the display glass... a lady standing next to the glass, greets them with a smile.

"Welcome to Miller's jewelers... please tell me the kind of ring you're looking for, I'll help you"

Andre shakes his head and wanted to carry along.. but he remembers that if Debby was here, she'd say he's rude.

He smiles politely at the lady.

"No, thanks... we can search for it ourselves!"

"Ok... I'll be here for the price!" She said.

Andre gives her a small nod and carry on his search.

"Did you just smiled at her?" Michael asked him.

"Yeah!"

"Since when did you start smiling at other people"

"Since my Angel said it's polite"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Debby deserves an accolade!"

Andre smiles but quickly glares at Michael.

"Are you here to help me search? Or you wanna taste my fist?"

Michael quickly sober up.

"Let's search!"

They start looking for that kind of ring... After searching for almost an hour, a ring in a far corner catches Andre's eyes.

"That one!" He said.

The lady from earlier comes and takes out the ring... She smiles bright.

"You've got a bright eye, sir. This ring is personally designed by Raphael Augusta Finn.. 1990 and it's his last design before his demise!"

Raphael Augusta Finn is a renowned jewelries designer in whole of America... but he suddenly caught an incurable disease and passed away nine years ago.

Andre smiles as he stares at the ring, it's exactly what he wanted... Simple yet elegant!

"Wrap it up!" He said.

"I haven't told you the price yet... It's $1000, 000, 000!" She said.

"Money is not the problem.. wrap it up!"

"Ok, sir.. please wait a minute!"

Michael whistles.

"Debby is one lucky girl" he said.

He nudges Andre gently.

"How about you lend me 20million?"

"Shut up!!"

"Ok!" He shuts up immediately.

The lady comes back with the wrapped ring.

"Card or transfer?" She asked.

"Transfer!"

She calls out the account details and Andre did the transfer... She hands the ring to him.

"Thank you, sir... please patronize us when you wanna buy your wedding ring!"

Andre simply nods and head out with Michael trailing behind him.

Debby's pov

FK's restaurant....!

I look around trying to find Anna but didn't see her... though I know that message wasn't from Anna.

I just want to hear whatever this person has to say.

I dialed the number and saw a lady answering a call from a corner.. close to the window.

I end the call and walk towards her... I'm shocked by who I saw.

"Olivia?"

She raised her head and smiles at me... the smile is gentle but I can feel it's forced.

"Debby, you are here!" She chirped.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I sent you the message to meet here.. sorry I used Anna's name, I know you wouldn't come if you knew I was the one"

Well, she's right... I knew it wasn't Anna but I didn't know it's Olivia.. else I wouldn't have come.

I pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Thank you for coming"

I rolled my eyes.

"I'm not here for chitchatting.. you said you wanna see me for something very important.. what is it?"

"You don't want anything to drink first?"

"No..

speak!"

She nods and clears her throat.

"Debby, I have been very bad to you"

I bet you are I said mentally.

"It's not entirely my fault... I know there's no excuse for the way I treated you, I was such a jerkass to you... But that is because I have been under a lot of pressure.. I have been going through a lot"

What could she be possibly going through? She's got everything.. looks.. money.. and fame.

What on earth could be bothering her?

"I know it's hard for you to believe but my life hadn't been easy... Andre and I started dating in high school...."

Wait... High school? That should be since junior high... Olivia has always been boasting about her boyfriend... how super rich and handsome he is.

That boyfriend was Andre?!

"But I had to break up with him because I was diagnosed with kidney disease.. the doctor told me then that I had to change my kidneys... Yes, the money was there to do the surgery but I was scared... "

Is she really telling the truth? Was she really diagnosed with kidney disease?

"I was scared I'd die.. I was scared the operation wouldn't be successful.. I didn't want Andre to be sad so I broke up with him.. I didn't want him to be sad when he hears the news of my death.. but I made a big mistake.. I didn't know I was

already pregnant with our child...

"

My eyes grew wide and my world stopped... please don't tell me she had the baby.

Not that I'm wicked but I can't accept the idea of her and Andre having a baby together.

"I couldn't tell him about the baby because he didn't wanna listen to me... I had to travel out of the country.. I had my baby there and later did the surgery. It's not My plan to involve Andre in our lives... I didn't wanna disturb him but our baby

needs him now"

She had the baby... She wouldn't lie about something as this... She had the baby!

"Being a father and a mother at the same time is so tiring.. our baby needs him, that's why I came back!"

Oh my God! They have a child together... Andre and Olivia have a baby together.

What does this makes me? A home breaker?

I

grew up without my parents love and care.. I understand what their child is going through.

I can't let the innocent child be like me... I hate Olivia doesn't mean I'll hate her child.

I can't be a stumbling block in their relationship.
