TAMING MR JERKFACE: Own By An Overbearing CEO

Writer's pov

Knight's resident.....!

Mrs Knight (Nora) glares at her husband as ma Doris laughs hysterically..

Her phone glued to her ear as she laughs loudly.

"I know Mrs Chesterfield!"

"Yes!" She giggles and takes a sneak look at Mrs Knight.

"It's finally happening"

...

"All you have to do is make the preparations.. we'll be in-laws in two days!"

Mrs Knight couldn't bear to hear more of this nonsense.. she gets up and pulls Mr Knight with her and drags me along to their room. She slams the door shut and glares at her husband.

"What was the meaning of that? What was your mother and Mrs Chesterfield talking about?"

Mr Knight gently removes her hand from his shirt and adjust it... coughing a little.

"Darling, I don't know what is going on..."

"You don't know what is going on?" She cuts him off. "Isn't it obvious they are talking about marriage?"

Mr Knight looks at her expression and quickly looked down... he gulps.

"Mom just told me this morning that Andre agreed to marry Olivia..."

"He what?!"

Mrs Knight inhale deeply and pace to and fro in front of their bed... She continuously take deep breaths to calm herself down.

"I made it clear that the only daughter-in-law I'll recognize is Debby! No one else but her!"

Mr Knight nods.

"I know.... "

"You know? Then why are you letting your mother control your son?"

"This was Andre's decision.. nobody forced him"

Mrs Knight shakes her head unbelievably... She reached for her phone and dialed Andre's number.

Andre picked after a few rings.

"Hello, Mom?"

She instantly puts it on speakerphone... she takes a deep breath.

"Andre, how are you and Debby doing?" She asked calmly.

"We are fine!"

"You're fine? Are you sure?" Her voice slightly raising.

"Yes, mom...."

"Then what am I hearing about you and Olivia getting married? What about Debby? I thought you proposed to her?" There's a moment of silence from Andre's side... She turns to her husband with a questioning look.

Mr Knight simply clears his throat as if reminding Andre to say something.

"Andre, say something. What about Debby?" She asked.

"Mom, we broke up!"

Mrs Knight tensed.

"You what?!"

"We broke up!"

"B-but, b-but... how can you break up with her? After she saved you from your demons, you broke up with her?"

Andre sighs from the other side.... Mrs Knight turns to her husband with a frown.

"Ed, did you hear that? Did you heard what your son just said?"

"Andre, what's happening? How come you are marrying Olivia and not Debby?" Mr Knight asked.

"Wait.. did you guys called me for this matter?" Andre asked.

Mrs Knight scoffs.

"Mom, dad, if you have nothing important to talk about, I'll hang up... I have more important things to do!"

"What do you mean by that?!" Mrs Knight asked.

"I have to prepare for my wedding!"

"You...."

Andre hangs up. Mrs Knight holds the phone tightly in her hand and angrily turns to her husband.

"Did you just see that? Andre wants to destroy our family!"

Mr Knight shakes his head thoughtfully.

"No, something is not right"

"What's not right?"

"Andre wouldn't agree to this marriage for no reason... I mean, no one can change his mind when it's made up... Why did he suddenly change his mind to marry Olivia?"

Mrs Knight calms down a bit a think about it... she narrows her eyes.

"Right.. could it be he's got a plan?"

Mr Knight slaps his hand on her mouth gently and placed his ear on the door.

"Shh.. Mom, might be listening!" He whispers.

She nods and they both exchange looks.

"Let's just wait and see how everything unfolds!"

Mrs Knight smiles.

"I'll give Debby a call tomorrow morning to check up on her!" She said.

Debby's pov

The next morning...! Anna's apartment....!

Waking up in my room at Anna's apartment, I stretched groggily and glanced at the clock.

I gasped... 9:30am.

Why did I sleep for so long? I quickly hop off the bed and walk towards the full length mirror standing by the door.

I rub my stomach and smile... though my baby bump ain't showing yet, but I feel kinda connected already.

"Baby, it's just me and you.. but don't worry! Mummy will work very hard and make enough money for us!" I smiled.

I kissed my palm and rubs it on my stomach... Then I looked at my face in the mirror and an ear piercing squeal leaves my mouth.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

My door burst open and Anna rushed in... but she was pushed out if the way and someone else wrap their arms around my waist and pulled me closer. "Angel, are you alright? What happened?!"

Angel?! Nobody calls me Angel but him!

I pushed myself away from him and take a look at his face... Truly, it's him.

Andre!

I pushed him away from me and glares at him.

"What are you doing here?!"

He didn't reply me but keep looking at me all through... From my head to my toes.... as if he's checking for any injuries.

Then his eyes settled on my stomach... I instinctively wrap my arms around my stomach.

I turned to Anna.

"What is he doing here?!"

"Uh...."

"Tell him to leave! I don't wanna see him!"

Anna holds my shoulder and pulled me closer to herself.

"Debby, he...."

"If he's here to apologise, tell him I don't wanna hear it! He should leave!"

Andre clears his throat.

"I'm not here to apologise!" He said.

What?! I scoff.

"Then why the fuck are you here?!" I asked.

"I came to invite Anna to my wedding, you can come too!"

I frown.

Is he for real? I should come to his wedding? As what? His ex? Or his baby mama?

Oh! I forgot, I'm not his ex nor his baby mama... He rejected my baby and I.

"I'm not coming and neither is Anna!" I turned to Anna. "Tell him Anna, we are not coming to his wedding.. we have nothing to do with him. Tell him!"

Anna turns to Andre and I see her wink at him... Like she's secretly saying something to him.

"Debs is right.. we are not gonna come, please leave!"

Andre opens his mouth to speak but I guess, he sees no need to, so he quietly left.

Anna closes the door and help me to the bed.

"Debs, what happened? Why did you scream so loudly?"

"My face!"

She frowns.

"Your face?"

"Look, I have dark circles.. does that mean my baby will have dark circles too?"

Anna studies my face then burst into an uncontrollable fits of laughter... I frown in confusion as to why she's laughing so hard.

"Why are you laughing?" I couldn't hold back the question.

She shakes her head and continue laughing. Just then my phone rings, I reached for my phone and Andre's Mom's name flicker in the screen.

I closed my eyes then took a deep breath.. before sliding the answer button.

"Hello, good morning, Mrs Knight!" I greets her in a cheerful tone.

I don't want to stress her up with Andre and I issue.

"Debby, darling, how are you doing?"

"I'm fine!"

"How is Andre?"

Andre? That bastard!

"He's fine!"

I heard her sigh.

"When will you two stop lying to me?"

Huh? Does that mean she knows about our break up?

"I know Andre is getting married to Olivia.. don't worry dear, Ed and I are not gonna let the wedding happen!"

Mrs Knight is a very good woman... So bad I won't get to be her daughter-in-law!

"Debby, I just want you to stay calm and take care of yourself ok?"

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Good, I'll hang up now... I wanna go do something!"

"Ok, ma'am... Take care!"

"You too, dear!" And she hangs up.

Anna's stopped laughing and picking out clothes for me to wear.

"Anna? What are you doing?"

"Lucas is coming over... then we'll go maternity shopping for you!"

"What is maternity shopping?"

She rolls her eyes and bumps the clothes on me.

"You are pregnant and soon you'll turn into a whale..."

I cut her off with a gasp... How dare she call me a whale?

"Sorry, I didn't mean that... but soon these clothes will be too small for you.. so we need to get some larger ones!"

Well, what she said makes perfect sense... I nod and got up.

"I'll go shower!"

"And I'll heat your food!" She said and head out.

"Mom, how do I look?" She asks Martha.

Martha squats to her level and smile at her.

"You're beautiful.. so beautiful!" Martha replies.

Olivia giggles. Diego walks into the room with his hands tucked in his pocket... He's dressed in a body fitted suit.

He rests on Olivia's dressing table and stares at her for a while.. then scoff.

"Forcing a man to marry is just like trying to turn black to white... It's impossible!" He said.

Olivia glares at him and Martha smacks the back of his head.

"Why are you saying that to your sister?"

"I'm just staying fact.. let's just pray Andre doesn't runaway and leave you behind in the altar!"

"You...."

"Or worse... He might not even show up at all.. over-pampered spoilt brat!" He said and walks out.

Martha rubs Olivia's back softly.. trying to calm her down.

"Don't listen to him.. today's gonna be happy day for you!"

Olivia nods. She looks around and noticed her grandma isn't in the room, she frowns.

"Where's grandma?"

"Your grandma is here!" Mrs Chesterfield says as she walks in.

"Grandma!!" She exclaims and embrace her grandma.

"You look so gorgeous today, Olivia!"

"That's because I took after your good looks!"

Mrs Chesterfield chuckles.

"Oh, dear, you are flattering me!" She squats to Olivia's level and kissed her forehead. "My precious granddaughter.. be happy!"

Olivia nods and smiles brightly. The door snaps open and Diego walks in again.

"Hey! Over-pampered spoilt brat!" He laughs at the nickname he gave her. "Dad said it's time!"

Mrs Chesterfield glares at him as he walks out but didn't say anything... She turns back to Olivia.

"It's time, let's go!"

Olivia nod.... Martha holds the wheelchair and pushes her out gently.

Andre's mansion....!

"Andre, it's time!" Sean told him.

Andre nods and picks up his jacket... He looks around the living room until his eyes fell on Lucas and Michael discussing.

He walk towards them.

"Guys, is everything ready?" He asked.

"Yeah!" They both replies.

"Please, make sure there'll be no mistakes!"

"Got it!"

He pulls Lucas aside.

"Did you see my Angel this morning?"

"Yeah, Anna is getting her ready!"

He nods.

"Can you do me a favor?"

"What favor?" Lucas asked.

"Go pick them up and bring them to the venue!"

Lucas sighs and nod.

"Thanks a lot, buddy!" Andre said.

"I'm not your buddy!" Lucas replied and head out.

Andre turns to Michael and Sean and nods at them. "Let's go!"
