The love of a Mr. CEO

“Amelia, who did this to you” he asks softly as if I’d burst into tears at the slightest noise.

“My father” I whisper and he tenses underneath my body.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Amelia’s pov.

After my little confession I sat comfortably in his embrace until my gut wrenching sobs were reduced to small whimpers and sniffles. He continuously whispered in my ear and rubbed my back until I felt better. I slowly lift my head up to look at Ivan to see a pained expression across his face. I stared into his eyes and gave him a small smile to show him that I was ok. I leaned up and gave him a small but loving kiss before pulling away.

“Thank you” I tell him and he nods in return. I could tell that my confession left him slightly confused so I decided to fill him in. Leaning back down to lay my head on his chest, I took a deep breath before beginning.

“It started when I got a call a couple of days ago from a person who urgently wanted to see me. I set up lunch with him and went to go meet him today” I feel Ivan stiffen underneath my body but continue anyway “He began to pester me about my relationship with you and seemed very angered that I refused to stop seeing you. I went to get up and he gripped my wrist tightly before pulling me back down to my seat” as I said this Ivan grabbed my wrist gently to examine the faint bruise starting to form.

“I’ll kill that bastard” Ivan growls furiously and I leave a sweet kiss on his neck to calm him down. He wraps his arms tighter around me in response and I take that as my que to continue.

“I sat back down and he basically hinted at that the only reason why I was with you was for your money. I continued to refuse his questions still wondering why he cared until he called me a name that made me realize who he was to me. I was so angered at the nerve he had to approach me after what he did that I yelled at him and ran out” I tell him finally taking a deep breath after my rant.

“Baby can you please tell me his name” Ivan asks and I lift my head up to look at him.

“If I do you have to promise not to go after him and go through with your threat” I answer giving him a small smile.

“He deserves everything I plan on doing to his pathetic little life” he growls furiously. I sigh deeply before placing my head back on his chest to calm him down.

“He’s closer to you than you think” I hint before snuggling back into him.

We sit comfortably until Ivan’s shallow breaths came back to normal. He stands up suddenly causing my arms to shoot up around his neck to prevent myself from embarrassing myself.

“Shh I got you” he assures me and walks us up the stairs and into his bedroom. He seats me on the bed and quickly shuffles to the bathroom. I lay down and calmly wait for Ivan to come out of the bathroom. When he doesn’t come out after ten minutes, I slowly sit up.

“Ivan, are you alright in there” I ask while walking to the bathroom door. It suddenly flies open with Ivan standing in the threshold. He steps aside and ushers me into the bathroom. My mouth drops at the sight of the dimly lit room filled with sweet smelling candles and a bath filling up with hot water. I turn to him and walk into his awaiting arms with a huge grin.

“You didn’t have to do this you know” I tell him and he pulls away to look at me.

“I wanted to, you seem like you need it so undress your perfect little body and hop in” he answers and I blush at the end.

“Will you be joining me” I ask while unbuttoning my top.

“As tempting as it sounds, I’m afraid I have some business to attend to so if you need me just holler” he informs me before pecking my lips and giving my button a slight tap. I jump in surprise before glaring at his retreating form. He even had the nerve to turn around a give me a wink before shutting the door behind him. Shaking my head with a smile, I continue to undress before easing my body into the bathtub. The hot water immediately soothed my tense muscles and I closed my eyes to relax. I let the sweet scent of the candles ease my senses and allowed myself to feel at peace.

Ivan’s pov.

Leaving Amelia in the bathroom by herself was proving to be a hard task. Images of her wet naked body flashed in my mind causing my lower anatomy to stir in excitement. Shaking away my tempted thoughts, I quickly undress and change into some sweats before grabbing my phone hurriedly. I quickly dialed a number and waited in anticipation as it rang.

“Hello Mr. Stone, what can I do for you” a voice finally spoke on the other line.

“I need you to evaluate the security cameras at Stone Industries and get back to me on what you find” I instruct him curtly. If Amelia wasn’t gonna tell me who her father was, I’ll have to do some research myself.

“Is there anything in particular I should keep an eye on?” He asked and I thought about it for a moment before responding.

“Just look out for anything out of the ordinary” I respond curtly and hang up while going down to the kitchen. I wanted to make dinner before Amelia came out of the shower.

Opening the fridge, I browse the shelves and pull out various types of cheeses as well as some herbs. I decide on making fettuccine Alfredo with a side salad. I start on the sauce and begin cutting herbs and tossing them into the pan along with the cheese and heavy cream. Letting that simmer, I swiftly cut up the lettuce, tomatoes and other vegetables while tossing them into a bowl. I drizzle some balsamic vinaigrette on top and let it marinate in the bowl. Everything was coming together and I added the last touches on the pasta before plating it. I set the table and light some candles before grabbing the white wine I left on the counter.

I hear small footsteps coming down the stairs and quickly brush myself off before standing next to the table. Amelia’s silhouette is dimly lit by the candles and she looks up at me with a gasp.

“Dinner is served mia cara” I break the silence and lead her towards the table.

Amelia’s pov.

A gasp left my lips at the sight in front of me. Ivan was standing next to a well decorated table with a heavenly aroma of surrounding him. He slowly walked towards me, grabbing my hand before leading me over to the table. I sit down and wait for him to sit down before noticing his bare torso. Blushing I turn my gaze to the food and it finally hits me how hungry I was. I didn’t eat anything at the cafe because I was fueled with anger.

“I really appreciate you doing all of this” I confess to him and watch as his expression lights up.

“What kind of man would I be if I didn’t spoil my woman” he replies with a wink and I shake my head at his response.

“And you’re my man” I shoot back and he smirks before grabbing my hand to place a kiss on it.

“Always and forever” he assures me and I nod with a smile.

“Lets eat, I’m hungrier than a bulldozer” I exclaim happily causing Ivan to chuckle.

“Bulldozers don’t eat but I get what you mean” he jokes and I blush in embarrassment.

“Shut up and eat already” I snap before digging into my food. I moan in delight as the creamy pasta hits my taste buds. I look at Ivan who has a lustful expression on his face and I smile sheepishly before continuing to eat.
