Trapping the CEO Chapter 23
After everything that happened earlier, I just want to sleep so that when I wake up tomorrow, everything will be fine. There was food in the house, but it was just canned foods. Well, at least we're quick here. I fried corned beef while Cleo cooked rice."Do you think we can go out for a walk or something? No one knows we're here," I asked Cleo."I don't know. We can ask Brandon or Brent. I think it should be okay, but it's better to be cautious. I feel suffocated in this small house, and we can't even walk around in the yard," Cleo replied."Okay. I'll ask them after we eat."When the door opened, it wasn't the siblings who came in. It was a man I wasn't familiar with, and he had two other men with him. What's happening? Cleo quickly approached me."Gia, do you know them?" she whispered to me.I shook my head. "What's the password?"The man smiled. "I don't care about the password. You need to come with us if you want your husband to live."I knew that Corbin was with JL, so I knew h

JLWe are currently in Attorney's office. Unknown to Kim, everything happening in this room is being recorded. I want all this chaos to end so that Gia and I can live peacefully. Corbin and I arrived at the same time, but Kim is not here yet. We don't think she got lost. Attorney said he called her earlier and gave her the office address. Where could that woman be? I was about to call her when the door suddenly opened. Unbelievable. Did she even have time to change clothes? Let's just pretend that this shit is real for one second. Does a real sister have time to change into revealing clothes while mourning?Luckily, Corbin is sitting next to me, otherwise she would have surely sat next to me. Attorney and Corbin are now seated on either side of me. "Sorry, I'm late everyone. The traffic is bad around this hour and I spilled juice on my clothes earlier. I haven't done laundry yet, and this is the best I have," she arrogantly said to us.Her hair is perfectly set, manicured nails, an

JL"That is not love, Kim. Put the gun down," trembling, he held his hand while I sweated, afraid he might suddenly pull the trigger."What do you mean it's not love?!" He still aimed the gun at me. Sometimes it's about Emma. "I even killed for you! Isn't that love? I removed the obstacles for us to be together, isn't that love?" He turned to Emma. "You bitch! You even got involved with this man even though you knew he's already married? You're a curse! Like you think you can take JL away from me? I'm the only one for him. He loves me! Not you! Not you! I won't allow him to end up with you after all this." He laughed loudly as if he had lost his mind. "I'll kill you just like I did with Gia. You're a worthless woman! You slut! Ahh!"In a split second, Emma jumped and kicked Kim's hand. The gun flew somewhere."You animal! Let go of me!" Kim continued screaming.Emma twisted Kim's hand and took handcuffs from her pocket. She read her the Miranda warning while Kim struggled on the floor

GIAIs Collette Gillian? Was she killed by Jose Luis? There must be a mistake. She couldn't have done the things she's accused of. How could a woman kill JL and in New York, no less? When he goes out, he goes with Rolf, and he wouldn't abandon his friend. I wasn't there, and I don't know exactly what happened, but I do know that my husband won't kill anyone, let alone rape a woman.I looked at Cleo, and she was awake."I think you've got the wrong person, Sir. My husband wouldn't do that. And I'm sorry for what happened to your daughter. No one deserves that, even the worst person. But I really think my husband is not capable of doing something like that.""Oh? How well do you know your husband, Genovia Ganfornina?" he asked me. He signaled to one of his men. "Take her friend to the other room. I want to talk to this woman alone.""No! Gia!" Cleo struggled as two men carried her chair."Cleo, it's okay. I just need to talk to him. Sir, please don't hurt my friend.""She won't be harme

CORBINMr. Guerrero looked bored, but JL continued telling his story. "If you had nothing to do with her death, why was she outside that night and came from your house?""I already got home and getting ready for bed when she called me and said she left her purse. That was about an hour after dropping her off. So I went to check in the car and her wallet was there. I told her I would drop it off tomorrow as I was tired, but Collette insisted that she would get it in my place instead. She said it would be a hassle for me and she also wanted to return my handkerchief. She said she already washed and dried it. When she came to the lobby that night, I gave her the purse, but someone called her and she forgot to return my handkerchief. I didn't really care much for it so I didn't remember it either. That was the last time I saw her. I swear on my wife's life, I did not touch Collette. Your daughter is a wonderful woman, Mr. Guerrero and I respected her. Please, let's not fight tonight and

SEVEN YEARS LATER | NEW YORKThe years went by quickly and now JL and I have four children. Lawrence is our oldest and now six years old. He was followed by Genevieve, Georgina, and Gaia. Yes, I was pregnant every year. So we have a six, five, four, and three-year-old in the house. You would think that because we have a lot of money, we would have one nanny for all the kids. Nope. I like being hands-on as a mother. When I don't have work at the office, I take care of them all myself. Mornings are a bit of a challenge, but I wouldn't trade it for anything else. The sound of their laughter is like music to my ears, and when they bicker, it's like I want to send myself to a mental hospital and join Kim there.Kidding aside, being a wife and a mother of four kids is not an easy job. I still have to run Core and make it bigger. When the kids were still small, I took them to the office with me. Now that the first three are in school, only Gaia stays with me in the office, along with her na

PHILIPPINES | ONE MONTH LATERI am currently in a meeting when I started feeling a pang of stomach acidity. I had a bagel with cream cheese and black coffee this morning. I tried to ignore it, but it kept coming back and reached my throat. It feels like heartburn even though I don't have that condition. As a result, I developed a headache and started sweating coldly."Excuse me, everyone. I'm just going to the washroom," I said to them.When I reached the bathroom, I tried to vomit but nothing came out. I wonder what I ate that caused this stomach discomfort. Last night, we had chopsuey and grilled pork chops for dinner. I can't think of anything bad that I ate.I better visit the doctor. I have a driver, so I don't need to take a taxi. I'll just bring Gaia and her nanny to the clinic. I'm not sure about picking up the kids because I might take longer at the doctor's office. I called my husband.After a few rings, he picked up."Hon, is everything okay?" he asked."I don't feel well s

GIAAt the age of twenty-three, I still haven't had a boyfriend. Aside from not being interested in it, who would even like someone like me? As my friend Cleo once said, I look older than our housemaid, Manang Lucinda. Just like now, Cleo is here in the house and we're having a sleepover."Gia, seriously! You scared me to death. You're scarier than a ghost with that outfit. Where did you even buy that? It looks like something Miss Minchin would wear to sleep! It's a closed neck, really? Yes, I know your house and your room have air conditioning, but you could at least wear a pair of pajamas," she said, rolling her eyes. I laughed. Cleo Sta. Catalina's family isn't rich. She was my classmate in high school and even in university because of a scholarship. Her father is a clerk at the municipal office and her mother has a small variety store. She has an older brother named Corbin, who's two years older than us.She's kind to me and always gives me various foods. I jokingly tell her that
