Chapter 1 — Mr CEO

In Capital Z, SKY Corporation reigns supreme. Its mastermind, Bill Sky, known as the ‘Ruthless King’ in business world, commands absolute obedience, his rule unchallenged.
For Bill, business is everything and everything is business. Romance is a triviality. Women, mere dalliances, bound by contract and fleeting desire. No strings attached, no second chances.
His life is way too perfect under his control until one night at the Sky Villa.
"I'm sorry Mom, I was a bit late. I have some important things to do in the office so I cannot leave immediately for our dinner." Feeling exhausted, Bill said.
"Don't worry, son, you are just in time. Your Dad is waiting for you in the study room. Go and check him out." His mother, Kelly said while giving him a warm hug.
" Okay, I'll be heading now," Bill replied.
In the study room, Ed is sitting with a folder in his hand. One can easily tell that he is seriously waiting for his son to enter his study room.
"Dad, I'm here," Bill uttered.
Ed turned his head to him and nodded, acknowledging his presence, pointing to the seat in front of his table.
"Have a seat," Ed said with a serious and sad hint in his eyes.
At that very moment, Bill already knew something wasn't right. He couldn’t help but feeling a bit agitated, " Dad, let's stop beating around the bush, what is it?"
Upon hearing his son's words, Ed raised the folder from his hand and gave it to his son. "See it for yourself."
Bill immediately took the file and read it.
Right at that very moment, he was shattered. He paused and looked at his father, assessing calmly just like in the business ‘Panicking is no use,' then he said, "Let's get an immediate surgery." Holding the medical record of his father, which stated the detection of a tumor in his brain that was growing rapidly, he was upset but, there was no way he would show it in front of everyone, especially his father.
Just when Bill was about to dial his secretary on his phone, Ed stopped him and said, " You are not getting any younger Bill, you need to have a successor. I cannot die peacefully if you are not settled. It's time for you to get a wife."
As expected, his dad will smoothly cut the chase using his medical condition.
"No one will die, Dad, my secretary will arrange your surgery soon. As for my wife, you are well aware that I don't have time for it. " Bill firmly retorted.
"Listen to me son, I know you are like me. You devoted your time to work and shouldered a big responsibility for the company, but look, look at me, I'm sick Bill. My life is not in my hands now. I can die today or tomorrow. But I'm happy because there's you! You've proved your worth a long time ago and we are very proud of you indeed, but you are our only son, we cannot just let you work in this lifetime. Have a life son!" Ed just didn't want to give his son a chance to make brief excuses.
"I already have a life, and I'm happy with it, everything is under my control dad, too much worry about me will cause you harm," Bill replied.
"Well then if you already knew worrying about you would cause me harm then, do what I say. And you know pretty well that I will not take 'NO' for an answer." Ed continued.
"You only have 2 choices, son. You choose your wife or we will choose your wife. It's up to you! You know Jane Foster, she is coming back next week from abroad. She is the daughter of your Mom's best friend and Uncle George. They are a prominent family. She's also an achiever like you, I and your mom think that she is quite a match. Think about it, if you cannot introduce us to your woman this week consider Jane Foster as your registered wife. I don't have the luxury of time Bill. Once and for all I want to see you settled before I die. I want to see what my grandson looks like. Do you understand?"
Ed regretted that he trained his son extremely in managing his business to the point of setting aside true emotions such as 'love'. He cannot just watch his son being married to his work.
"Okay! To end this argument, I will bring you my woman two days from now." Feeling a little bit annoyed, he didn’t want to go far into this discussion.
He is the ruthless CEO. There is no way he couldn't handle this very simple matter. At the back of his mind, he was thinking ahead about who he would bring to his parents. Of course, he couldn't choose among his sex toys.
Satisfied with his son's answer Ed finished the discussion with a smile, forgetting his illness. "We will be looking forward to it son, after 2 days you may consider Jane Foster."
Jane Foster, he met her when he was 11 and she was 8. She was a good pianist indeed. She performed at every family gathering and all his relatives, including his mom and dad, were so amazed by her talent. No wonder they like her very much to the extent that they want this girl to be his wife.
‘No way!’
As far as he remembers her, she’s so dumb and clumsy. He hated the fact that she was the reason why his favorite toy robot broke into pieces. This toy robot played a very special part in his heart since it was given by his late grandfather when he was 5 years old. His grandfather is the only person he considers his best friend. He spoiled him a lot secretly. When his grandfather died, Bill was 6 years old at that time. Young Bill cried the whole night hugging his toy robot to sleep. It took him a year to accept that his grandfather wasn't with him anymore. Until now, thinking of him makes him feel sad.
After the incident, he had never seen Jane Foster again and he never wanted to see her again. He bears this hatred in his heart for a long time toward this girl and now they wanted her to be his wife.
‘Fucking No Way!’ He cursed.
He only has 2 days left. ‘There is nothing money can’t do.’ He thought. He can pay with any amount of money just to get rid of this troublesome Jane Foster. He has nothing to do with her.
After dinner, he went to 'Luxury Bar' to have a drink. He called his cousin, Gab to accompany him. He had never been frustrated like this before. He thought it was just a simple matter, but turns out to be a complicated one. He is Bill Sky, and he closes multi-billion-dollar business dealings almost every day. How on earth he's going to let this matter interfere with his life?
‘No fucking way!’

Chapter 2 — Finding Instant Wife

In Capital Z, only the most elite could afford membership in the 'Luxury Bar'. His cousin Gab Kenley, is the owner of this bar. He’s the type of playful boy next- door.
The two often meet here for a drink and share personal and business insights.
“What’s up, man?” Gab cheerfully greeted Bill as he entered their VIP room.
Bill had almost finished one bottle of whiskey when his cousin arrived. After Gab sitting down, he started to share with him about his parents’ demands.
"Woah! Then maybe it's time for you to get a wife." Gab let out a big smile at Bill.
Bill sneered at him as a warning for him to stop joking around.
“Okay then, how about considering Trishia Meyer? You know man, she is crazy about you. Uncle Ed and Aunt Kelly will surely love her. She came from a political dynasty family. She has a strong political backup. It’s going to be a win-win man! ” Gab suggested with a bright hint in his eyes, expecting to hear approval from Bill.
Trishia Meyer is the daughter of Senator Gregory Meyer, who is expected to run for the next presidency in Capital Z. She's strikingly beautiful and hot. She's the perfect definition of 'Barbie' with 100% aggressiveness. Trishia used her money lavishly to track down Bill's schedule every day, that's why she suddenly appeared wherever Bill was. She is viciously obsessed with him.
Bill was stuck in deep thinking. He kept on drinking from his glass and said: "Hell no way! As clever as Trishia Meyer, I cannot give her the advantage of tying me up in front of my parents." He firmly sees what's coming with him presenting Trishia Meyer to his parents. That's a checkmate. He cannot let that happen.
Gab was a bit surprised with his answer. He poured more whiskey into Bill's glass, "Well, consider Jane Foster then, if your parents like her then give it to them."
Upon hearing the name 'Jane Foster', Bill's mood changed. He was exceedingly irritated and his grip on his glass hardened. 'This woman's name is a curse.' He thought while drinking his whisky bottoms up.
After 2 bottles of whiskey, they've decided to go home separately.
Outside, he is already accompanied by his bodyguard. While they were heading to the basement parking where his driver was waiting, he decided to call his secretary to make arrangements for him. He will let his secretary worry about it.
It’s already 2 a.m., three rings, but no answer from the other side. He is now a little agitated.
He is Bill Sky, 1st ring should be answered, that is his mortal rule. As his secretary, you should be willing to give all yourself to serve him 24/7 or you will be punished, but of course, it comes with great and reasonable compensation. No one dares to make him wait.
He continued walking in the hallway while holding his phone to his ear when suddenly his lips were invaded by fascinatingly sweet mixed with alcohol taste lips. ‘Shit! Who is this crazy woman?’ He angrily thought while putting his phone back in his pocket.
'But wait, this kiss is so fucking addictive. These fucking lips are so smooth! I want more!' There is no way he will let her go just like this. No one can just simply kiss him wherever and whenever they want. He cannot help to feel the urge to take her down straight away right there, right that very moment.
In a blink of an eye, George, the bodyguard was dumbfounded. 'Who's this crazy woman? Where did she come from? She's so fucking dead! I am so fucking dead!' He couldn't believe that this had happened in an instant while he carefully tailing his Boss. When George was about to grab away the girl fast, he stopped. His Boss seemed to enjoy the situation.
George had never seen his Boss like this before. In so many instances, girls tried flirting with him on some high-end occasions, but he always ended up dragging them out on his Boss’s order. Remembering this, George was again dumbfounded as he couldn’t help watching his Boss’s every action. Noticing his Boss’s intimacy, he paved his way to the corner and waited for them to wrap up.
Bill suddenly grabbed her waist and closed the gap between their bodies. He held her tight and pressed her body against the wall. With his body cornering her, he crushed her lips and the kiss became torrid until the other party stopped cooperating.
"Oopsie. My Bad!" She smiled seductively at him. In an inch, she stared at the man she just kissed passionately, but couldn't see him clearly. It's completely blurred. She tried to open her eyes, but it seemed that her eyeglasses were full of mist. She was completely drunk and she was controlled by alcohol. In her drunken state, she had to admit that this man was undeniably a good kisser.
Holding his two shoulders, she tried pushing him to free herself from his tight embrace. Using all her strength left, she forced herself to squeeze out of him, but it was to no avail. Now she panicked like crazy. Back to her senses, her smile diminished all of a sudden.
‘Who is this jerk? What the hell he’s doing to me?’ Her thoughts are like thunder rumbling loudly in her head.
"Please let me go!" She asked him with begging eyes. Yes! She got it. She cannot solve this by force and might as well play like an obedient and adorable puppy to her master.
"Not a chance my Dear! "His voice is very playful yet firm and full of masculinity, bearing a big wave of authority. He tightened his grip on her waist, sending shivers and pleasure in her entire body. Plus, his scent was very compelling to her nose. Without seeing the man's face she already knew that he was a man of elegance and power.
She was extremely satisfied with his every touch that her body was honestly wanting him for more but she can’t let this man do whatever he wanted to her. She didn’t know him. ‘He is a total stranger and a freak!’ she thought.
"Plakk!" a blaring sound came out. She slapped him. She slapped the man who just called her 'My Dear'. She slapped the man whose strength was so overly strong. She struggled crazily trying hard to free herself from this hot rock-like chest. 'Damn this man!'
"Damn this girl!" Bill snapped out from his intimate pursuit. He suddenly grabbed her two arms and pinned her against the wall using his full strength almost on the brink of breaking her bones.
Upon hearing the loud sound of a slap, George immediately sneaked out from the corner and found out his Boss was being beaten by a girl. 'You are really dead girl!!'
"Do you know me? How dare you put a hand on me? You want to die?" Bill with arrogance, asked angrily the girl who just slapped him. He is so furious that he could kill. He grabbed her neck with one hand. He had never been slapped in this lifetime. He is Bill Sky, no one dared to hurt him. He is the leader of the 'Ruthless King' company. There is no way he will be slapped just like that.
"Let go of me, you Freak! I don't need to know you. I don't care who you are!" She cried out loud while finding her breath. She will never let this freak win.
She should be fast. This man is crazy. She will not allow him to hurt her. In the blink of an eye, she abruptly pounced his balls by her knee with all her strength left.
"Shit! You Bitch!" The man crouched down instantly.
She used this freedom to run away swiftly like lightning bolts. She disappeared in a split second.
George rushed back to his Boss and helped him stand. With what happened, he saw his Boss bearing the pain with a devilishly angry face, but what he thought of was the fate of the girl. 'Poor girl! Your life is finished!' George knew his Boss very well. He will not let her run away from him just like that. She can never hide away from him. 'Even a needle that fell into the ocean, he can find it, what more to this poor girl?' George's train of thoughts ran wild while assisting his Boss walking towards his car.
Bill waved his hand and stopped him. He stood firmly and faced him with a commanding voice "Get her! Find her! Bring her to me right away!" With a look that could kill, Bill ordered his bodyguard.
George got the message speedily. With a nod, George respectfully responded, “Got it. Mr. Sky.”
Feeling satisfied with his bodyguard’s confirmation, he settled himself inside his car and the driver drove smoothly.
In the backseat, Bill closed his eyes while crossing his long legs and leaned his head on the headrest. What happened just a while ago occupied his mind. 'That bitch!' This girl really had the nerve to hit him. This angered him to hell. He could feel his blood crazily boiling all over his body. He must find this girl and teach her a good lesson that she will never forget.
He was stuck in deep thinking again when the kiss they shared popped out. He couldn't help to bite his lower lip. It seemed like he was trying to regain the taste of her lips. 'Damn that woman!' he cursed. With a devilish smirk, 'I'll see you again soon!'
At 10 a.m., Inside Bill’s office, George and his secretary laid a file on his table.
“Sir, as you ordered. I found this information from a reliable source.” George started reporting to his Boss.
Satisfied with his bodyguard’s prompt investigation, Bill carefully read her information.
Name: Arabella Jones.
Age: 25
Residence: Block 45. West Gate Homes.
Occupation: Professional Make-Up Artist
Status: Single
At this moment, he went through scrutinizing her photos.
She wore baggy clothes, matching big-rimmed eyeglasses with short dry hair. There's no elegance in her. She looked shabby.
‘This woman is not my type at all.’ He firmly concluded. Thinking of her kiss. ‘Why is her fucking kiss so good?’ Bill exclaimed while closing his thoughts.
“Bring her to me right away!” He suddenly walked towards the 360-degree glass wall over-viewing the city.
With his two hands inside his pocket, he thought, 'Arabella Jones, too late to escape from me!' with a smirk he continued with his gaze outside.

Chapter 3 — Ms Arabella Jones

After the incident last night, Arabella spent her day sleeping on her bed. She didn’t mind the time. Her body was still in a deep shock. ‘That man is really a scumbag!’ she tightened her hug on her pillow while thinking of the arrogant man last night.
She tried to remember his face, but it was like a puzzle with a missing piece. 'Who is he?' She was curious and at the same time anxious, but she couldn't figure it out. She didn't even remember how she got out of that place.
Jason Hansen, her ex-boyfriend contacted her last night to have a good closure. He dumped her like trash when his family knew the mess she went through.
Jason is the CEO of Hansen Group next to SKY Corporation. He was her boyfriend for almost 5 years. They had been university classmates abroad.
After their graduation, Jason went back home to manage their company while she stayed abroad pursuing her career. Jason never failed to visit her on every special occasion.
She once thought that Jason would be a perfect husband for her.
She once thought that she had a perfect life.
She once thought that she had a perfect family.
Until she decided to come back home to surprise her parents.
She just remembered stepping out from the plane in Capital Z, and she was full of excitement 'Finally, I'm home!'
But to her dismay, her mom broke the news to her.
“Your father has a mistress!” her mother cried out loud while trembling with tears in her eyes.
"Your dad already confessed to me about his affair with that woman a long time ago." She added in a sad voice while tears kept flowing from her eyes.
“What? Why I didn’t know about this?” Arabella was shocked.
She was very disappointed with her father. He used to be her hero.
When she was young, they used to be her inspiration and she even dreamt of being just like them when she has her own family in the future.
This news for her was extremely horrifying. ‘What happened to their love for each other?’ She couldn’t stand the fact that her perfect family was completely ruined.
“Where is Dad now? I want to talk to him!” She was so angry. She wanted to meet her dad and throw the blame to his face.
“He is not here. He flew to N City with her mistress for a business trip.” With annoyance, her mother Jaime said.
"What? Are you okay with that Mom? This set-up is so bizarre!" Feeling perturbed, she retorted angrily.
"Listen up, I love your dad so much. I already accepted the fact that he has a mistress and I agreed not to interfere with his relationship with that woman as long as he lives here with me." Jaime explained with sincerity in her eyes.
“What?” That’s the only word she can say. She was dumbfounded upon hearing these words from her mother.
"I'd rather die without your father. We can still be happy, right? Come on Arabella! You just need to accept it." Facing her with sincerity, Jaime was convincing her to accept the situation.
"Unbelievable! Well, sorry I am not like you, Mom. If Dad would stay in this house with all his dirty affairs consider me gone here." Arabella couldn't contain it anymore. She stood up and swiftly ran to her room slamming the door. She was heartbroken. Her parents seemed to not care about her feelings at all.
She must not live in this house or else she will be tortured by her mom's misery and her dad's shameless face every day. 'The heck!' She packed her stuff in her luggage and called Jason to pick her up, but the call could not get through so she dialed her best-friend, Farrah Fin, and asked her for help.
"Farrah, please pick me up tonight, I'm here now at my parent's villa. I need to get out of here soon. Can you come?" Arabella asked her straight away. Her voice was shaking from crying.
"Hey. What's up? Are you crying? Are you okay? "Farrah is her only best friend. They have known each other since they were in high school. Farrah Fin is an IT genius who specializes in hacking. She won many awards in the Cyber Security competitions. Her family owns the biggest Cyber Security company in Capital Z.
“Yeah, I’m alright. Please Hurry up! I will tell you everything.” Arabella wiped her tears from her swollen eyes.
“I’m on my way. Cool down. Okay? I’ll be there.” Farrah Fin arrived soon and brought her to her family’s villa.
The two stayed together in Farrah's room.
Arabelle tried calling Jason again while hugging Farrah in the bed. This time the line was picked up by the other side.
"Hello, Babe! I'm sorry I was stuck in my meetings today. I'm about to return your call. Just got out of work now. I'm heading to my parents' house for dinner tonight. How are you?" Jason excitedly reported to her without any sign of stopping.
“I’m okay.” But she sounded not right.
“What happened? Are you okay Babe? Speak up.” With great sincerity, Jason asked.
After a moment of contemplating, Arabella shared the news with her boyfriend. Of course, he is her boyfriend. He needs to know everything around her, whether it's good or bad. That's what makes a perfect couple right? Honesty and Trust.
“Okay. Calm down, Babe. I will pick you up tomorrow. I will be there in the morning.” Jason promised her to live with him in his own place.
"Since you don't want to go home. Maybe this is the right time to arrange our engagement. How's that Babe? You start a family with me. Isn't it what we both wanted?" Jason took the opportunity to propose after all they have been together for so many years. Sure enough, his parents will stop urging him to get married. For once, this might be the right time to put a period on it.
Upon hearing Jason's words, she was flabbergasted. Her heart was jumping for joy. She never expected that Jason would propose to her right at this very moment. He was a savior. He was the best boyfriend ever.
Now that she wants to escape from her own parents, she might as well make a family of their own with Jason.
"Yes! I love you, Babe!" was her only reply to him from the bottom of her heart while crying for joy.
"See you tomorrow then. I will announce our plan to my parents tonight. I miss you, Babe! Please do not worry, I will take care of you. I cannot wait to see you. I love you, Babe. Now, please rest your mind and have a good sleep. Good night Babe!" Jason uttered with sweet sincerity.
Jason never failed her before, and until now she doesn’t have any regrets about choosing him. He will be a perfect husband for her.
After the call, she was immersed in a blissful fantasy.
All her problems, annoyance, and grievances just now instantly vanished into thin air because of Jason. It’s like a tornado had passed and cleared everything on its way.
That day, she slept with a smile and woke up with a smile. She expected Jason that day so she quickly ran for a shower and excitedly tidied up herself. Farrah was still sleeping so she just moved smoothly afraid of disturbing her.
When her phone chimed, she was expecting the text to be from Jason. 'Maybe he is already outside.' She thought with a smile.
She quickly grabbed a sticky note and a pen to make a note for Farrah.
'I'm going now with Jason!
Please give me a call when you read this.
Let's go shopping for my wedding gown.
Bye and Thank you!
Arabella'
After writing her thank you message, she read the text, holding her luggage, ready to go out of the room, but suddenly, she stopped.
