THE CEO BRIDE - CHAPTER 6&7
★★★★★
{ FIRED! }
Helena was totally bewildered. Her whole body was already covered in sweat, her legs were trembling badly. Romeo being quiet about this means nothing else but… Danger.
“Romeo,” she called, her voice not steady a bit. One could have sensed fear in her voice.
The guard quickly put on a short and went on his knees, clasping his hands together.
“I’m sorry, Boss. I didn’t mean to, I was out of my senses” he pleaded desperately.
Romeo took his gaze from his phone and stared at the guard, his eyes moving to Helena who already draped a blanket over her body. He stood up and crossed his arms across his chest, still holding a level gaze with Helena.
“Are you done?” He asked, dropping his phone on the chair. Finding out his woman was cheating with a guy right in his bedroom made his heart sank.
“How long has this been going on?” He asked calmly. It was a mystery on how his voice was controlled in a situation like this.
Helena bent her head in shame, she couldn’t even stare at him in the eye. If she had known he’d be returning early, she’d have controlled herself.
“Sei sordo?! {Are you deaf?!}” He yelled which frightened Helena. She immediately bursted into tears, her whole body shaking slightly.
“I’m sorry, Romeo. I’m sorry,” she chants.
“Scusa?? {Sorry?}” Romeo chuckled before his eyes suddenly changed to a dangerous one.
“You dare have the gut to f-__-k a guy right in my bedroom??” He thundered and the guard flinched.
“If I hadn’t showed up by this time, it’s obvious you were going to cover your fornicating acts with nothing but a silly smile on your face,” He shook his head, his eyes moving to the guard whose face was still buried on the floor.
“Romeo, believe me. I didn’t mean to do that,” Helena came down from the bed and tried to touch him, but a glare from him stopped her.
“Touch me and you’ll regret doing so till your miserable life ends,” He growled.
“f-__-king a guard right in my bedroom, never knew you’re nothing but a lowly bìtch, a wh-_-re!” Romeo spat, staring at her in disgust. He bent and picked his phone before throwing a last glance at them.
“I don’t want to meet you both by the time I return back, or I swear it I’m gonna ki|| you,” he warned, with seriousness in his voice. Heaven knows he deeply meant his word by ki||ing them.
Leaving Helena who was already shattered, he left the room, slamming the door hard with every fiber in him. He was burning with rage and he feared he might do something worse if he should stay in that room for a second more.
Immediately he was gone, Helena fell on her knees and bursted into fresh tears, her eyes so red. This was surely the end of their relationship.
Romeo was not the loving type, but still he tried his best in making her happy. He’s a Billionaire but the fact that he was devoted to her made her special a lot.
He made sure he got everything she needed for her, he never hesitated to lavish his money on her. But, everything changed the day he went on the trip.
She was hōrny and the guard was available, they engaged in a secret relationship and even though Romeo came back, she couldn’t help but to crave for his ?ï?k.
“Romeo,” she whispered in tears, holding the bedsheets around her.
The guard stood slowly and wore his clothes, after then, he left the room without a word. It’s surely going to be the end of his life if he stays for any more seconds.
Rosetta subconsciously licked her lips as she saw a waiter passing by with a tray in her hands. Her stomach grumbled and she quickly looked around, hoping no one heard that. Thankfully no one did, because everyone was focused on his/her business.
She groaned and rested her head on the wall, her face looking pale already. She hadn’t eaten anything and worst still, she had no cash with her. She’s surely going to trek back home on an empty stomach.
“I really can’t take this anymore,” she mumbled to herself, sniffing slowly. Life was hard on her, totally harsh. And if there was one thing she was regretting right now, that should be coming into this cruel world.
“You’re a cleaner, right?” She suddenly heard a female voice.
“Huh?” She quickly composed herself and faced the woman with a smile on her face.
“Yes,I am,” she answered.
“Good. We need you to clean a room, it’s so messy” the woman said.
“Sure,” Rosetta quickly carried the bucket and followed the woman behind.
Getting into the room, she cried inwardly at the scene in front of her. The room was so messy, foods littering on the floor.
“There was a fight between two men here that’s why it’s so messy, I really hope you do your job well,” the woman smiled and left the room.
Staring at the room, Tears trickled down Rosetta’s cheeks. Here, the food she was badly craving for was what they rendered useless here. The room was badly ruined as there were some food stains even on the wall.
“Oh madre mia! {Oh, my mother!}” Rosetta cried inwardly. To make matters worse, she’s going to clean all this mess on an empty stomach.
“I’m going to end up dying at this rate,” she mumbled to herself, getting to work. Staring at the food on the floor, she was tempted to eat it from the bare ground but she controlled herself.
Romeo was deep in thoughts, his gaze was hard and one could have sensed that he was angry due to his facial expression. His thoughts were all filled with Helena, he could never imagine her cheating on him with a mere guard.
A guard was the one who reported Helena’s odd behavior to him while he was away. Returning home to confirm things, he nearly couldn’t believe his eyes.
Marcus entered and walked to him, he quickly settled himself on a chair and rested his face on his palms.
“What’s wrong? You sounded angry over the phone,” he asked worriedly.
“Helena cheated.” Romeo said bluntly.
“Che cosa?! {What?!}” Marcus exclaimed.
“Right in my bedroom, she was f-__-king a guard. That audacity,” Romeo shook his head.
“That ?îtçh. After everything you’ve done for her?? I actually thought she was a saint, f-__-k her!” Marcus spat angrily.
“So, what are you going to do?” He asked calmly.
“What else? The relationship is over already, I h@?? cheats” Romeo replied.
“Are you fine with that? You were devoted to her,” Marcus muttered.
“Let’s talk about something else. Did you check it?” Romeo asked, his voice changing into a professional one.
“Yes, I have” Marcus brought out his phone. He stood up and went round to meet Romeo.
“Here… The stock price is increasing everyday and I think he’s planning something. Freud can never stay still,” Marcus explained.
Romeo chuckled before swiveling his chair to the left, his hand rubbing his chin.
“That’s exactly how I want it to be, for him to be restless. Get ready Marcus, for we ain’t gonna back down now. Not ever,” Romeo smirked.
Mrs. Stone hummed a song as she prepared lunch in the kitchen, an apron could be seen around her.
“What are you cooking?” She heard her husband’s voice behind her.
“Rice. I’m suddenly craving it now,” she smiled.
“Make it delicious, I’m starving right now,” Mr. Stone said and she laughed loudly.
“Are you kidding me? You literally ate two bowls this morning” she rolled her eyes.
“That’s because the food was so much, I never wanted it to waste,” he shrugged.
“You’d never seize to amaze me,” Mrs. Stone shook her head with a smile.
Romeo shut his computer and began arranging the files on the table, he was still on it when a guard entered.
“Good evening, Boss. I came to inform you that Lucas left, he suddenly packed his things and left this afternoon,” the guard informed.
“Good thing he left on his will cos I’m so going to ki|| him,” Romeo growled beneath his breath. Lucas was the guard whom Helena was sleeping with.
“Are you ready to leave?” The guard asked and Romeo hummed a reply. He quickly went to carry his briefcase and Romeo stood up, holding his phone in his hand.
The guard quickly opened the door and Romeo walked out of the office, ignoring the greetings from his staff till they got to the car.
“Are you visiting the hotel, Boss?” The driver asked.
“No, just drive me home. I need to sort out a piece of trash,” Romeo loosened his tie a bit while the car drove out of the company, with the guard’s cars trailing behind him.
They got to his house and like he predicted, he met the “piece of trash” pacing around the room restlessly.
Immediately she set her eyes on him, she rushed to him and quickly held his hand, giving him a remorseful look which wasn’t moving him a bit.
“Romeo. Honey, I’m sorry, okay? I didn’t mean to do that, I was craving for it and…”
“Have you packed your things already?” Romeo cuts her off.
“Romeo,” Helena whispered shockingly.
Romeo turned back and gestured to a guard to move closer which he did.
“Pack her things and throw her out,” he ordered sternly.
“Sir?” The guard’s eyes widened in surprise.
“You wanna lose your job?” Romeo raised a brow and the guard quickly shook his head.
“Right away, Boss” the guard went away.
“Romeo, you ain’t doing this to me, right? You can’t chase me out of your life! I’m your girlfriend!” Helena screamed. Romeo walked away without a word and she roughed her hair in anger, screaming her lungs out.
“Romeo!!!!” She screamed like a lunatic. She could feel her dreams crumbling right in her future. The dream of her becoming Mrs. Castillo, the wife of a Billionaire crumbled right before her eyes.
“Noooo!!!!!!!”
“Rosetta?”
“Rosetta!” Rosetta snapped her eyes open when she heard a voice calling her name. She rubbed her eyes with her hand before getting to her feet, facing a woman who was a cleaner in the hotel.
“Good evening,” Rosetta greeted.
“Yea. Aren’t you going home? It’s past 7pm,” the woman said.
“What?” Rosetta’s eyes widened. She slept off after cleaning the room, her whole body felt numb.
“You should leave before the transport fee gets high,” the woman said before walking away.
“That’s if I have some money with me,” Rosetta mumbled to herself. She flung her bag over her shoulder and walked out of the company weakly.
“I’m tired,” she said to no one in particular. Forgetting that she promised to get her Boss another wristwatch, Rosetta walked out of the hotel, still brooding from hunger.
She was still walking when she felt three huge men walking towards her.
“Who are you?” She stuttered in fear.
“Our boss wants you,” the first guy said.
Rosetta’s eyes widened. Their Boss??
“f-__-k, the wristwatch!!” Her mind screamed and she literally panicked greatly.
“Please tell him to give me some little time, I’ll surely provide the wristwatch” she pleaded.
The first guy looked at his colleagues and signaled them with his head. They understood immediately and one of them quickly heaped Rosetta in his arms.
“Help! I’m being kidnapped! Help!!!” Rosetta screamed, thrashing in his arms. Having no other choice, the guy hit her back hard and she blacked out in his arms, her body going limp.
They entered the car and soon, the car drove off with Rosetta completely unconscious in the backseat.
Romeo was in his study room, going through his laptop when there was a knock on his door.
“Come in,” his deep voice said.
The door was opened and a guard entered, he was one of the guys who abducted Rosetta.
“We’ve brought her here, Boss,” he informed.
Romeo smirked before signaling him to bring Rosetta inside. The guard went out and soon, he returned with Rosetta who was struggling stubbornly in their arms. She was awake already.
“Let me go, you bastard!” She screamed when they entered her room.
“Let her go,” she suddenly heard a voice and her head went to the direction of the voice. There, she saw him sitting on a chair gracefully, his gaze hard as a rock.
The guards released her and left the room immediately, leaving her with Romeo.
“Don’t you think you’re being too far? It’s just a wristwatch you don’t have the right to abduct me, I can sue you for that!” Rosetta screamed.
“Sue?” Romeo chuckled before getting to his feet. He started taking slow strides to her.
“Do you know who you’re talking to right now?” He asked.
“I think I should be the one talking about suing you, because you destroyed my wristwatch!” He growled.
“You promised to refund it back in 12 hours, so where is it?” He asked.
Rosetta swallowed hard, completely speechless. This was the girl who hadn’t eaten anything and he expected her to refund a wristwatch??
“I…” She stuttered.
“Can you give me a little time? I promise to refund it back to you and…”
“You’re fired.” Romeo cuts her off, his face as cold as ice.
“What?” Her eyes widened.
“I don’t repeat myself twice,” he walked back to the chair and sat on it.
“You’re terminated and get the hell out of my house!” He thundered.
Hearing that, balls of tears rolled down Rosetta’s cheeks and the only thing on her mind at that moment was…. SUICIDE.
