GETTING THE HEART OF THE CEO

Kyle, drenched, observed every move she made. She was ignoring him, so he positioned himself behind her and shouted.

“Love! Please talk to me, yell at me, say something. I can’t stand you ignoring me.”

Lindsey stood in front of him and calmly stated.

“Tomorrow I’m leaving your house. A lawyer will bring you the divorce papers for you to sign.”

Kyle ran his hands through his head, desperate, started pacing back and forth. His greatest fear was coming true. He exclaimed disturbed.

“No, my love! We can’t get divorced, please, don’t. I won’t give you a divorce; you are mine.”

“On the table are the proofs of your infidelity. I imagine your lover sent them as a gift to my workplace. With just those photos, a judge will grant us the divorce. Don’t worry, I don’t want anything from you, just my things.”

Kyle approached the table and took the photos, trembling, he looked at each one. In the photos, he was with Catrina from the event until he entered his room. “Damn woman,” he exclaimed mentally.

“Love, what do you want me to do to forgive me? I’ll do anything; I just ask you not to push me away until I earn your forgiveness. Even if you don’t believe it, I learned what it means to love and desire a wonderful person.” He dragged the words with discomfort.

“You love me so much that you bring your lover to your wife’s house. You desire me so much that you don’t care about my feelings, to trample on them in front of her.”

“I told you why I did it! Just for the baby, but tomorrow I’ll figure it out and find a place to take her.”

“Why look for an apartment when you have this big house where you can be happy with your new family?”

“Don’t say that, Lin, understand where my conscience is. If anything happens to that child, the doctor said the first few months are delicate.”

“Poor Catrina, and where do I fit in? My feelings mean nothing to you. You disgust me; you’re a damn, I don’t want to be tied to you anymore. Get out of this room!” She shouted with rage-filled eyes.

Kyle heard every word she said; her words were a strong blow to his heart.

“I know you love me, and everything you say is because of the harm I’ve caused you, but we’re not going to separate. You are mine, Lin, and I won’t let you leave the house until you forgive me.”

Lindsey couldn’t bear such audacity and slapped him twice with all her strength on each cheek.

Kyle stood still, unmoving, his mind clouded. Agitated, he exclaimed.

“Unload all your rage on me however you want, but I won’t set you free. You are forbidden to leave the house until you love me again.”

He began walking towards the door, frustrated, and left the room to talk to his men.

Lindsey was petrified; she couldn’t believe her husband’s cynicism. She shouted furiously as she watched him disappear through the door. “What do you mean you won’t let me go? You’re a miserable, wretched man. I have to be strong; he can’t keep trampling on my pride. I swear I won’t shed another tear for Kyle. I have to find a way to escape this hell.” She searched for a backpack and packed her most important things and documents.

At that moment, Emilia entered, looking distressed. She looked at Lindsey with affection, approached her, and hugged her. Then she let go of her and, holding her hands, informed her.

“My girl, I’m sorry for what you’re going through. Mr. Hugo is about to arrive; pack your things; he’s coming for you. He won’t leave you alone in this house with that harpy.”

“I’m sorry too. My happiness didn’t last long,” she replied with a desolate look.

Freed was calling Kyle like crazy; he was already aware of what had happened.

“You’re pathetic, son! Who would think of bringing the lover to his wife’s house?” Susan shouted as she entered the office.

Kyle had a glass of whiskey in hand and responded like a demon.

“Catrina stopped being a part of my life a long time ago. I know I made a mistake by entering that room, but what do you want me to do? Leave Catrina alone with a high-risk pregnancy? If something happens to that child, where does my conscience stand? Now Lin wants to leave me, but I won’t allow it.”

“You easily fell into Catrina’s web; I thought you were smarter. Now, face the consequences. Whether you like it or not, you can’t keep Lin by your side. Your grandfather doesn’t want to see your face, at least for now! He’s talking to Lin, and whatever she decides, her decision will be respected.”

Kyle became desperate and threw the glass against the wall. He felt his heart compress in his chest. It was the first time he developed such strong feelings for another person. He took a risk with Lin and showed her his emotions. Due to one mistake, his life went to hell. He wants to go and grab Catrina by the neck, but just thinking about the harm it could cause to his child makes him hesitate.

“I don’t know if I can live without Lin, Mom. It hurts that she hates me, but my child comes first. If only she could understand that I love her, and Catrina is not a part of my life. I did everything for my child. It’s so hard for her to understand.” He lowered his head and ran his hand through his hair, thinking, “I don’t know if I can go on without Lin.”

Susan approached her son, and he embraced her while tears rolled down his cheeks. His mom is surprised and hurt to see her son broken down. He truly fell in love, and all she can do now is support him, even though he made a mistake. He’s her son, and she’ll be there to console him.

“Of course, you can move on without Lin! You know I’ve always stayed out of your life, but that girl is suffering, and keeping her in this house will only make her despise you even more.”

“I’m a jerk, and I’ve lost the only woman I’ve loved. I ruined my life. From all this suffering, I only have that child left.”

Meanwhile, in the room, Grandfather Hugo arrives, takes a glance at his granddaughter, and sees her lifeless gaze.

“I’ll support whatever decision you make.”

Lindsey ran to hug him, then sat on the bed and looked him in the eyes.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Tomorrow, they’ll deliver the divorce papers to your grandson. I can’t continue living with a man who is going to have a child with another woman. Grandpa, take me away from here. I want to go find my grandmother in Italy.”

“I’ll help you. Pack your things, and let’s go to the airport. My private plane is waiting to take you wherever you want. Just keep me informed about your life, or I’ll come to wherever you are.”

“Of course, Grandpa! Can I ask for another favor?”

“Whatever you want, my girl.”

“A friend and I had a small sewing workshop where we experimented with our designs. Now that she’s alone, she’s looking for a job as a designer. Can you take her into one of your fashion houses?”

“Susan will take care of her. Now, grab your things; we’re leaving.”
