Enslaved By The CEO

I checked my cell phone over and over again to see if Clyde had texted or called me, but I just sighed when I realized there was still nothing.

This morning he said he was in a hurry to leave while I was still asleep, said Uno. I asked why but it just shrugged.

I called its number again but the answer still cannot be reached. My annoyance began to rise and I clenched my fist.

“Are we close?” I asked Thyrone as it drove by.

“Yes ma’am.” He replied.

I had a monthly check-up today, but Clyde wasn’t there. A week after someone sent me a dead cat I noticed that Clyde seemed always busy. It’s early to leave and late to go home. we almost don’t touch each other anymore because I’m already asleep when he comes.

Suddenly my cell phone rang so I immediately looked at it expecting it to be Clyde but I lost hope when I saw that it was Aunt Eleanor.

“Hello?” I always answer the call.

“Hija, I’m already here. where are you? “He asked. He was the one with me at the monthly check-up instead of Clyde. I called him earlier to ask where Clyde was. I found out as early as possible that he was leaving. office but it’s too late to go home to the condo.

I am full of questions. where is he

What is he doing?

Why did he take so long to come home?

But neither did I receive an answer.

“I’m close. I’m sorry it’s been a while.” I’m sorry.

“It’s fine, hija. Maybe I’m really early. You know, excited.” he even laughed which made me smile.

“Alright, it’s almost here.”

“Okay, see you!” This killed the call.

After a few minutes, we arrived at a private hospital. As soon as I entered, I immediately saw aunt Eleanor waving at me.

“Hello, daughter!” it greeted and rushed to hug me.

“Hello, I’m sorry it took a while.”

“I said it’s fine, hija. I should have apologized to you because Clyde didn’t accompany you today. I tried to call him so many times, but he doesn’t answer my calls. I don’t know about that boy, he’s really mad at me!” I just smiled.

“It’s okay.” I just said and we went to the ob-gyne together.

“Hello doc!” Aunt Eleanor’s doctorate. I smiled when I remembered that this was the doctor who checked me up when we were still on the island.

“Hello Mrs. Salvadore! How are you?” The doctor asked his aunt.

“Oh, you know that I’m always fine doctor. Anyways, we’re here for the monthly check-up of my soon to be daughter-in-law.” Auntie smiled.

The doctor laughed at what he heard and turned to me.

“Hello, how are you?” its question to me.

“I’m fine, doctor. Thank you for asking.” It nodded and held my hand.

“Let’s start?” I also nodded at what the doctor said and prepared myself for the check-up.

“Do you want to know the gender of the baby?” Suddenly the doctor asked which stopped me. I looked at Aunt Eleanor. It just smiled at me but I sparingly smiled at the doctor.

“Maybe I’ll just have a check-up next time.” I said in a low voice.

I want Clyde and I to know our child’s gender together. sadly, he’s not here now so just for the next check-up.

“It’s okay Ms. Oliveros. I understand.” Aunt Eleanor and I nodded at the same time, they both understood.

When the check-up was over I immediately stood up.

“Thank you, doc.” I would like to thank you.

“You’re welcome.. come back next month for the check-up again, okay?”

“Yes.” My answer.

“Thank you doctor! See you again next time.” Aunt Eleanor said and we went out.

When we got out of the hospital we went to a restaurant.

“Let’s eat here, hija.” aunt led me to a table and we sat together.

We ordered and while waiting, aunt and I talked.

“Hija, if you won’t mind me asking. Where are your parents? I’ve known you for a long time but I still don’t know anything about your family.” I was stunned by aunt’s question but I just smiled sadly.

“I have never been able to catch up with my parents. Since I was young, my grandmother took care of me. My grandmother said they died because of an accident. But when I turned 16 years old, she also died grandmother. I have nowhere else to go because our relatives are in Bohol. I just worked and studied. It was hard but I managed it.” I waited a long time.

“You’re so brave, hija. At first, I knew you were strong. that’s why I offered you a scholarship because I know that you have a dream and you want to be successful. But sadly, my son ruined it. But I also know that you love him so it is fine.” I laughed at the last thing he said.

“It’s okay. I didn’t expect to fall for your son.” we both laughed and our order arrived just in time.

We ate and when we finished, aunt took me to the mall.

“Auntie, it’s okay if you don’t buy me.” I whined when aunt got a dress for me.

“Hija, it’s fine.” it still continued to choose so I just sighed. I’m just next to aunt.

While aunt and I were walking and choosing clothes, suddenly someone approached us.

“Hello Aunt Eleanor!” My fists clenched when I saw Daniella smiling at us.

“Daniella, what are you doing here?” Aunt asked in a calm voice.

“Oh, I’m here to buy some lingeries aunty. I want a new one, so that my partner will be even more comfortable.” It laughed out loud and turned to me.

“Nathania? So you’re with tita? Can’t you afford to buy clothes for yourself ? Are you still buying from your aunt? “He raised an eyebrow at me but I just secretly stared at him.

In my mind, I was choking him.

“I insist to buy her some clothes, Daniella so it’s fine. She’s going to be the mother of my grandchild soon so it will be my pleasure to buy her clothes.” Auntie replied but Daniella’s grin still wouldn’t go away.

“Tita, she will only be the mother of Clyde’s child because I will be his wife soon.” My mouth watered at what it said.

This woman is really feelingera. Assuming. She thought Clyde would still marry her ?!

“I guess you’re late for the news. All I know is that he won’t marry you.” I was no longer restrained and I spoke.

“I heard he canceled the wedding, Daniella.” I am now the one who smiled because of what my aunt said.

“I am sorry Daniella but I assumed you only know the true reason why he canceled the wedding. I’m just being civil and professional here, but I didn’t forget what your father did to our company. Excuse us.” Aunt pulled me after she said that and later she also sighed.

“I know that woman. She’s an evil just like his father. I know they’re planning something against us. It’s a good thing we have guards watching over us from afar.” Aunt stopped and stared at me intently.

“Hija, please be safemy son is doing something to stop them, so don’t worry yourself okay? Just focus on the baby. Just trust us. Even if we don’t know what they’re planning, at least we’re getting alert. “I nodded and smiled at him.

“Yes. Thank you so much.” aunt also smiled and we walked to the counter again.

While my aunt was paying for everything she bought, the message tone of my cellphone suddenly rang and I immediately looked at it.

My eyes widened and I felt happy to see Clyde texting.

From: Clyde honeyNôvelDrama.Org content rights.

honey, I will be in Zein’s hotel this evening. Come here tonight, okay?

I frowned at what I read from Clyde. Why is he sending me to the hotel?

It might surprise me later.

I just smiled at the thought and replied okay.

it hasn’t texted yet so I just shrugged my shoulders and just smiled to accompany my aunt to the exit of the mall.
