My Vengeful CEO
12

[Vision by Iuri Stevens]

Sometimes I wonder, why do people change so much? And instead of changing for the better, change is something that disappoints us.

I had some expectations for this dinner with Aya, I wanted to start putting into practice my plan to get her grounded in my bed, I wanted to give her my best smile and tell her about what I did for her, however, since she smiled at the waiter, in such a kind way, a way that she never smiled at me. A jealousy rose in my mind, and when she started talking about the past, her passion for Leandro and that I was the evil ogre in her life, an anger so great it was wanting to take over me, I had to use all my self-control not to explode.

Sigh, I felt shaken when she assumed that she left a child there, and that she doesn't raise it because she doesn't have a husband. She is fucking beautiful, she probably doesn't have a husband because she is looking for the best fish in the market, i. e. the one with the best financial condition. I never thought that one day my thoughts about her would be so terrible as this. I always held her in high regard, I remember how kind she was to me when I was six years old, but all that is in the past.

Who will be the father of this child? Did he abandon them or did he die in some kind of accident? I have no idea, and I hate to wonder what the possibilities are, I am no longer a teenager with free time to think about nonsense.

I wipe my mouth on my napkin, ask the waiter for the bill, and after paying, leave the establishment. My return to this city, so far, is only giving me a headache.

It took me seven long years to prepare myself to be the president, but in practice it is even more complicated. Dealing with people is complicated, but I have made a lot of effort and today I can better disguise my lack of interest in talking to other human beings.

I park my car in the garage, wait a few seconds until the elevator door opens, loosen the knot of my tie. The doors open, I feel exhausted. My apartment is still not completely my face, tomorrow I will make my wall with several shelves, all occupied with anime-related things. Even though time has passed, my interest in anime will never change.

I go straight to the bathroom, and I am already completely naked, I turn on the shower with the warm water, I need to relax. I feel the water hitting my head and close my eyes. Gentle, big round violet eyes invade my mind, I close my hand into a fist and punch the wall with both hands. What a curse! She is no longer the same, that child I met in the park never existed, that is the explanation. I always projected her as my hero because at that time she was the only one who didn't treat me badly, but that doesn't mean that she showed me what she is.

Every single day, my mind and my heart duel. He wants to keep her, to have her all to himself, but my mind doesn't. She is no good, she is a man-hunter, and she had the nerve to abandon her child in a broken orphanage. And don't even tell me that she lacks the means, because her salary is very fat, and now it's even fatter being the personal secretary of the president of the company.

I finish my shower, my mind and body are now calmer. I remember how I used to be embarrassed to sleep without any clothes on, today, putting on a simple pair of underwear inside the house makes me turn up my nose. I spent three years doing heavy workouts at the gym, I wanted to get in the ideal physical shape, and now, besides money, I also have beauty to offer women.

Before, I used to delude myself thinking that love was everything, today I know that it hurts and that it's not worth feeling. I fuck with them and leave the money, that's all. Feelings I had once, I won't let them happen again, not even with the owner of them. I will do with Aya, what I do with the others. In the end, she is just like them, and for me, she will be just another one to keep me warm for one night.

I lie on the bed and sigh, I will start my attack on this trip, it will be an interesting weekend, and then I will send her to any other branch of the company. [Leandro Silva's vision]

- Love? - I enter the house and notice that she arrived before me.

- Why are you so late? - she interrogates me with a fishmonger in her hand. I sigh.

- I have no secretary, I had to do work for two today, I'm sorry I'm late my darling," I finish taking off my shoes and start to remove my tie.

-- What happened to Aya?

- She was transferred from her position.

- Why was she transferred?

- Iuri wanted her as his secretary and I can't stop or question an order from the boss, even more so with a history as bad as mine - I finish taking off my jacket and walk to my wife, kiss her forehead and then kiss her belly that is so big. - I see, today Iuri was at the orphanage.

- What?

- Iuri was there at the orphanage, he bought it and went to see the place and the children.

- He... bought it? But... Why? - a confusion arises in my mind.

- I think he still likes Aya, maybe things are not as lost as you thought," he says and walks away to the stove.

I sit down on the sofa. The day Aya appeared in the president's office, I remember the look Iuri was giving her, a cold, superior look, not at all like someone in love. In all these years, has he learned to disguise what he is really feeling? - Hurry up and take a shower, honey, dinner's almost ready.

I automatically obeyed my wife's order. I take a quick shower, no matter how hard I try, guilt always consumes me, after the last ball, that damned ball, I had a real notion of all my actions. And they never thought as much as they are thinking today. The world turned, and today, I am a wage earner for the boy I used to tease as a child.

But even though I did so many things wrong, life gave me a second chance to be happy, life opened my eyes and made me finally see the most amazing woman that was always there, just waiting for a look from me. I was blessed with the best wife in the world, who is now carrying our heir in her womb. I was able to take my mother out of the hands of that disgusting venom and today she lives comfortably in the countryside. I remember as a child she used to tell me stories that she heard from my bizas who lived in the bush, and I am so happy to finally be able to give her a place to be happy.

I look at my wife, she is so beautiful. I recognize all my mistakes, I regret every one of them, and I have changed, I have changed for the better, that Leandro died that night, seven years ago.

- So none of the children will be reassigned? - I ask, sitting down at the table and picking up a plate to start serving myself.

- Everything indicates that no, at least, he didn't say anything about it.

- I get it, poor Aya... She wanted that little girl so badly...

- Heloysie was not adopted, she is still there waiting for Aya.

- And the parents who wanted her?

- They gave up - she sighs.

I know it might be wrong, but I am glad, Aya loves that little girl so much, she already has her as her heart daughter.

- Aya must be jumping up and down with happiness by now," I say, smiling and take a sip of my juice.

- She doesn't know how to chew her meal.

- Why didn't you tell her? - I ask confused.

- Iuri said he wanted to tell her himself, I'm sure he did it because he still has feelings for her.

- Looking like this is what it looks like, I am glad. Maybe he will forgive me.

- I'm sure he will, I think he's still gentle and kind.

- I hope so, dear. I hope so.
