My Vengeful CEO

"Whatever you want", I continue stroking her back. Is this when she's going to say I have to marry her? Is this how she does it with other men?

- Since the day you left and left me with your parents, I had been hoping for your return. Your mother wouldn't tell me where you went or when you were coming back, she just said that one day you would come back. Even though I hoped that you would come back, at the same time I feared for your return - she starts circling my abdomen - I was afraid that you would refuse to talk to me again, or that you would kick me without even giving me a chance to say something. - I would never do that - I defend myself.

-Now I know that, thank you for always being so kind - she kisses my chest, something in me warms up - A few years after you left, I lost myself inside myself, I entered a college and met my mother again, she still holds a lot of anger towards me, when she saw me, she threw my books on the floor and called me a bitch, she said I should be dead, because no one in this world would be able to love a filth like me - your voice is tearful, my chest tightens, I know that Aya today is no good, but I will never agree with a mother saying that to her daughter, as a way to console her I hug her around the waist, this seems to give her strength to continue - It hurt me so much that I began to think that her words were the naked truth, my mind accuses me saying that everything was my fault and that the world would be better if I no longer existed, so I went to the Brooklyn Bridge and tried to kill myself.

I try to undo the hug to look her in the eyes, but she just squeezes me tighter preventing me from letting go and keeps talking.

- I took a stiletto and cut my wrists, at the last moment when I was about to throw myself away, Leandro came and saved me, I was in the hospital for days - I feel a tear wet my skin, I raise my other hand and caress her face, for the second time, Leandro saves her and I didn't even know she was in danger - I couldn't help being friends with him, I hadn't even paid attention, but he was in the same class as me in college. Since then we started to be friends, I was even a bridesmaid in his wedding.

- Do you still love him? - I can't help asking, every time I remember the past, he appears taking it further and further away from me.

- Yes, as a friend, he is my only friend, as a friend I have only his wife and my sister.

I don't answer anything, but I feel such a relief to know that she doesn't feel any more man and woman love for him. What the fuck, and what difference does it make in my life?

- Remember when I was on my knees begging your father to buy the orphanage?

- Impossible to forget.

- Leandro's wife is the director there - she pauses and takes a deep breath - A little over two years ago, a baby, only days old, was left at the door of that place.

I control myself not to scream that I know all this, that the baby is her daughter, that she abandoned the child in a run-down orphanage and that she goes out with several rich men every night in search of a husband, while the girl is destitute and waiting for a visit from her mother.

- Well, from the first time I saw her I fell in love with her, her name is Heloysie, I chose her - I can feel her smile on my chest - She is now two years old and so beautiful and cute. Since Luana became the director there, I donated half of my salary, my sister also donates part of hers. I decided I needed a husband, Leandro and my sister tried to help me, they introduced me to their single friends, however, it didn't work out. The girl didn't like them and they refused to marry me without first getting into bed with me, so I was always seeing a different one every night. I really wanted to adopt her, but being single they never gave me custody, even though I had a good job and...

- One moment - I break our embrace and sit down on the bed, Aya does the same.

- What is it? she asks, concern on her face.

- Did you go out with one every night because you refused to go to bed with them? - I don't understand.

- Yes, I never even felt the slightest desire to kiss them, I only agreed to go out with them because I really want to adopt her... - a lonely tear runs down her eye - But now it's no use, a couple has adopted her and the orphanage is going to be demolished.

My head spins, it can't be possible, there's no way this can be true. Feeling airborne, I get out of bed, in the distance I hear her calling me, but I just follow stunned to the bathroom, go in, close the door and turn on the light. As if by instinct I look at my member, still wearing the condom, my legs soften and I sit on the toilet. Blood, she really was a virgin, I've been thinking unfounded shit about her all this time.

Agr! What hate! I'm going to fire the guy who told me those lies, you fucking bastard! I need to pull myself together, I will never tell her about my real reason for bringing her here, I will take this with me to the grave!

I get up, take the condom off and throw it away, if I had known, I wouldn't even have used this piece of plastic. She hasn't changed, she is still the same Aya as before. I was a bastard to her. I walk over to the tub and fill it with warm water, add some flavored salts, and take a deep breath. I come out of the bathroom and she is lying on the bed, I walk over to her and notice her softly crying. "Oh my little Aya, forgive me for being the reason for your tears" - I think and touch her shoulder, she quickly sits up in bed and starts wiping her tears with the back of her hands.

- I'm sorry... I...

She stops talking when I take her on my lap, I have to take care of this little woman. I take her to the bathroom and put her in the bathtub, I can see the blood between her legs. I take a flannel from the shelf and soak it in the warm water, carefully wiping the cloth over her legs to remove the blood. When I'm done Aya sits down in the tub and I join her.

- I've waited so long for you," I say, caressing her face.

- Deep down, I have always waited for you too," she confesses, her eyes shining.

I can't resist and kiss her, I give this kiss my all, I spent too many years just loving her alone, and now that I finally have her, I will never abandon her or make her cry again, I will dedicate myself and make sure she will be the happiest woman in the world.
