THE CEO WHO SAVED ME by Becca

Amy walked down the stairs, she could walk little by little on her own now, the whole house looked empty except for the helpers walking up and down to get things done. "Hey, excuse me," she called to the maid.

"Yes ma'am" the maid greeted politely as she walked towards her, all the helpers were polite to her because she was Damian's friend and had stayed long enough in the house, they were used to him already. "Is the boss back already?" She asked.

"No ma'am, he isn't," she replied.

Okay then, thank you" Amy said and walked back upstairs to her room, she slumped on the bed looking at the time.

"It's already past 9" she muttered under her breath, she took her phone to call him but decided against it. She has been feeling like this for a while now, always Missing him when he was not around and loved his company.

"Why the fuck is he not back" she snapped under her breath, just then her door opened and Damian walked inside, as beautiful as ever. He was dressed in a custom made suit and his hair was neatly styled, he really looked gorgeous like a Greek god.

"I heard you were looking for me," he said, sitting beside her.

"Why are you coming back so late?" She asked angrily.

"Woh woh, easy little tigress, why are you pissed?" He asked in a surprised tone.

"Don't you know it's bad to stay out late, what if something had happened to you?. "Relax Amy, nothing can happen to me, remember the big boss".

"Did you go on a blind date?" She asked out of nowhere.

"Yes I did," he replied.

"Oh wow, good for you then" she answered and used the quilt to cover her face.

"What's wrong Amy, why are you mad? He removed the quilt from her face.

"I'm not mad," she snapped.

"Were you worried about me?Is that why you are pissed?".

Then it dawned on her, she was acting jealous now but why.

"Goodnight Damian" she snapped and covered her face again.

Damian entered his room with a smile on his lips, part of him was happy that she was worried about him and part of him wanted to know why she was mad at him for coming home late.

"I think I should go on more blind dates and see her reaction" just then his bedroom door opened and Amy entered, he was wearing only his pants, his upper body was bare revealing his well toned body and muscles. "Don't you know how to knock?" He asked. She just walked up to him and hugged him, he was taken aback, then it came to him, her soft sobs.

"Amy, what happened?" He asked in a concerned tone.

"I didn't like that you stayed out for too long, I missed your company" she replied in between sobs, he gently guided her to the bed and made her sit on it.

Why?" He asked.

"Am already very used to your company, it's hard not to get addicted to it" she replied.

"Is that all?" He asked, part of him wanted to hear something, his mind was beating fast, he was already aware that he was in love with her but did she feel the same for him?. Falling in love with her was not so hard as they had spent almost a year and half together.

"Just don't stay out late next time" she replied and licked her lips. That singular act ignited something in him and he wanted to taste those lips, he was using all his energy to control himself.

"Don't tell me it's only because you miss my company that you're crying".

She didn't answer.

"Wait, did you miss me because you like me?" He dropped the bombshell.

"What nonsense" she snapped and stood up to go but he dragged her back and she hit his hard chest.

"What are you doing?" She asked.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

"Tell me Amy, why were you crying?" He asked again for the last time.

"I already told you," she answered.

"Perhaps you were jealous that I went on a date and you couldn't even imagine it right?".

"Stop speaking nonsense Damian, I see you like my big brother".

"Oh cut the crap Amy, your eyes say something different".

"Madness" she snapped and pushed him. She made to go but he dragged her back and trapped her between him and the wall.

"Do you also get butterflies when I am around you because I feel like that anytime I am close to you? It has been a lingering feeling for weeks now Amy, I don't know what it is but I feel it anytime I am with you, do you have the same feeling?" He asked to move close to her.

"So what if I have it Damian?"

"Then we should work together and find out what it is".

She scoffed," Really Damian, well I will go straight to the point, before this feeling reaches a point two of us can't hold back, we should stop it. I have a lot of things on my mind I want to focus on. I want to get better and go back to my country and do what I should, being in love or loving you right now is not in my agenda. You see this, what just happened a while ago, me crying and all that, it was just at the spur of the moment, it meant nothing. I can't let love ruin my plans right now Damian" she said angrily.

"What?" He was already getting angry," you think I like feeling like this?, You think I want to feel this way for you Amy?. Do you know for how long I have had to battle with my feelings so I won't disturb you?. I have never felt how I feel for you for any woman ever and you stand her and tell me nonsense? Thank you for drawing the lines this time. I am really glad I wasn't foolish enough to make my feelings known to you all these while. Focus on getting better so you can repay me and get out of my life" he answered angrily and plodded into the bathroom.

Amy slumped on the floor in tears, it was true she really loved him and that too a lot, he has been by her side all these years without even complaining or trying to get her to open up to him, it was through she fell in love with him a long time ago but she didn't want to involve him in her mess, she had to get well and get revenge on the people who almost claimed her life. To her, Damian was a good person even if the outside world was afraid of him, he was always warm towards her and treated her well.

"Am sorry Damian for hurting you like this" she muttered in tears.

The next morning, Damian entered the conference room. Since he came to the office that morning, everyone has been suffering his wrath including Li Feng. All his employees were scared and made sure the meeting went as planned. "You have only an hour to tell me what you have come up with for the presentation" he said as he sat down.

The employee who was supposed to give the pitch was fidgeting and couldn't talk, he flared up.

"What nonsense is this?I called for a meeting, not you coming to make mistakes here?" he turned to all of them, " do I pay you a little too much?, You all seem to be slacking off" he snapped and murmurs or sorry boss was heard all over the

room.

"If this pitch is not ready by tomorrow you can all kiss your jobs goodbye" he said angrily and walked out. He was already in a bad mood from yesterday night and these people were getting on his nerves again.

"Clear my schedule for today Rubby" he said as he entered his office.

"

Boss, you are supposed to be in country M for a business meeting by tomorrow," Li Feng replied.

"Book the tickets, I need to be left alone," he said, dismissing him.

It was past midnight and Damian hadn't come home, Amy was getting very worried remembering how he left the house in the morning, very angry. She took her phone and called Rubby. "Hello"

"Hello ma'am" came his voice from the other end.

"

Sorry to bother you, where is your boss?".

"Didn't he tell you?We are in Australia for a meeting, be back by tomorrow".

"Oh okay,thank you" she disconnected the call and laid down dejectedly, Damian was really angry not to have even called her.
