My Vengeful CEO

[Vision of Aya Millenis]

I enter my apartment and find my sister sleeping on the couch, all crooked. I get closer and touch her shoulder, she moves a little and grumbles, but soon wakes up.

"I need to find a boyfriend," she says when she opens her eyes and sees me all disheveled.

"I recommend it," I smile and sit down on the couch, putting her legs over mine.

"You're all smiles, what have you been up to?" I open my mouth to answer, but she jumps in, "I can imagine, I don't need the details."

"Yesterday was one of the best days of my life!"

"Did the little green bird land on the nest?"

"Also, but it's something else that's making me even more joyful."

"What?" she inquires curiously.

"The orphanage is no longer going to be destroyed" my cheeks hurt from smiling so much.

"That's great!" she sits down on the couch, "The children are no longer going to be relocated! That's good news."

"Yes, and the best...," I do a bit of suspense and she slaps me on the arm, "Heloysie is still there!"

"What about the couple?"

"Luana said they gave up and took a younger boy."

"Sometimes I feel so sorry for the older children, they need parents too, but the couples only want the babies, I even understand their side, it's easier for a baby to adapt, but I still feel bad for the children," she discourses sadly. "Yes... it's hard, but I'm so happy that I still have the chance to adopt her! Now that Iuri has bought the orphanage..."

"He doesn't run the law, Aya. It's not because he bought the place that he can give you custody of the child."

"But... I thought... he himself told her that in a few days I could take her home and he would form a family with me, he didn't seem to be lying..."

"So he asked you to marry him?"

"No, but he asked me to date him today."

"I get it, I think he is going to propose to you, otherwise he wouldn't tell you that."

"Is he? I didn't even think about it, I was so excited about the moment."

"No need to worry about that now, come see the clothes I bought for you, how long will you be there? A week?"

"I'll be back tomorrow."

"I thought I was going to stay longer, I bought so many clothes," she gets up and goes to her room, I follow her.

She starts to open the bags and shows me one dress more beautiful than the other, I fall in love with a lilac one with shoulder straps, it is mermaid style. I'm going to the party in it - I decide - she also bought some very chic suits, and some very daring lingerie, I almost choke on my own saliva when she shows it to me. My sister thinks of everything, even what she shouldn't.

"Thank you, I don't know what I would be without you" I thank her and close my suitcase.

"Yesterday I saw her mommy" she comments.

"She talked to you?" I grab a black pencil skirt and a social shirt from the closet.

"Yes, but when I mentioned you she changed the subject."

"You don't have to talk about me, I see her almost every day at work," I finish changing and start to fix my hair into a high bun.

"Would you... forgive her... if she asked you?" he asks hesitantly.

"I have already forgiven her, and also, if I had listened to her, I might even be married to Iuri by now," I swipe a nude lipstick on my mouth and put my ear rings on my ear, a very simple necklace to finish the look and a sweet perfume behind my ears and on my wrist.

"I wouldn't have met Heloysie," he comments.

"True, things happened as they had to happen," I turn around and my sister's arms embrace me.

"I love you, see? You look even more beautiful now, take great care of your happiness."

"I love you too, little sister, I will take good care of this chance to be happy that fell from the heavens," I squeeze her waist.

We break the embrace and the doorbell rings.

"It must be Iuri," I comment, grab my heels and put them on, put on my glasses, and go into the living room pulling out my suitcase with wheels.

I open the door, Iuri looks beautiful, his tight amber suit shows off the muscles of his chest and biceps.

"Perfect," she looks me up and down, my cheeks blush, "Good morning!" he greets my sister.

"Good morning, Iuri. Good trip to you," she wishes smiling.

"Thanks, shall we go honey?" he offers me his arm, I accept and intertwine mine in his.

"Come on, see you tomorrow sis."

"See you," I leave and my sister closes the door.

As we leave the building, a black car is right in front of us and a man in a black suit holds the back door of the car, I look quickly at Iuri but he just keeps walking closer to the vehicle. Iuri hands my bag to the guy and gestures for me to get in the car, I do so, he comes right over and sits next to me. The boy closes the door, through the window I see him putting my suitcase in the trunk and then goes to the driver's seat.

"Go ahead," Iuri says.

"Yes, sir," he starts the car and closes the window that separates the cabin from the driver's seat.

"Who is he?", I ask as the window closes completely.

"My new driver," he replies simply.

"Oh, I get it."

"Did I ever tell you that you look very sexy in glasses?"

"No," I reply smiling.

"Well know this, the only reason I don't give you a deal right now is because we are not alone and we have an appointment."

We follow in silence the rest of the way, I'm not very excited about this trip, I'd rather be at home catching up on my anime, or better yet, going to visit my little girl again, spending the whole day with her yesterday was not enough. In less than twenty minutes we get out of the car, I feel my legs shaking with every step I take approaching the small jet, it is black and not even the initials of the company on the side, if it were not for Iuri's arm around my waist, I would not approach. "Are you afraid?" he questions as he places his belt next to me.

"I'm not scared," he stares at me with a raised eyebrow "Just a little apprehensive," I correct myself "I've never ridden in a sky vehicle before.

"You'll like it, it's very peaceful."

The little jet starts to move and I cling to my seat.

***at the Galanis Hotel***

After we landed, a car was already waiting for us, on the way to the hotel Iuri was telling me the names of the streets, the most famous buildings and landmarks. Even the streets here are luxurious. In thirty minutes we finally arrived at our destination.

"Iuri!" Mr. Hades Galanis is standing in front of the hotel, dressed in a black suit.

"Hades, it's been a long time," Iuri shakes his hand.

"How was the trip?" he asks smiling.

"Peaceful," Iuri replies, "This here is Aya Millenis, my secretary and girlfriend."

"Delighted," he shakes my hand, I smile sympathetically, "Take their bags," he orders and two staff members pick up our bags, carrying them into the hotel.

I look up, I can guess that it has no less than twenty floors, it's very big, all the windows have a small balcony, the windows go from the ceiling to the floor. "Stephanie and the kids are doing well?", Iuri questions.

"Yes, I miss you already," his smile doubles in size and his eyes sparkle as he talks about his family, "Come, I'll show you the hotel."

Hades walks ahead, Iuri ties my waist and we go inside. Hades goes on talking about the name of each room in the place, everything is very luxurious, the floor is dark marble and the walls are all tiled, the stairs are covered with long velvet carpets in a burgundy color with gold edges. The details on the pillars are golden and several paintings adorn the walls, the employees keep coming and going, even though today is the inauguration, several VIP clients have already made reservations and are already starting to check in.

"Iuri, you...", Hades turns to us, but Iuri's cell phone starts ringing, interrupting his speech.

"Just a moment," he takes the cell phone and walks away.

"How do you like the hotel?" he questions.

"It's very nice, as luxurious as it looks on TV," I reply sympathetically.

"Your first time?"

"Personally yes, but I've seen it a lot in the advertisements."

"You need to see the area reserved for summer recreation...," her speech is interrupted by Iuri.

"Hades, I need to talk to you alone," he speaks and I sense urgency in his tone.

"Okay," he looks up worriedly, "Lucas, finish showing Miss Millenis around the hotel and then take her to room three hundred and twenty-nine." "Yes, sir."

"Iuri?" I call him.

"I'll meet you later," he gives me a quick kiss and walks away.

What happened? I have a bad feeling, I didn't like it.
