The Ceo's Secretary novel Chapter 16

Jason came out ten minutes later with a livid expression and we went back to his house in absolute silence.

"Is everything okay?" I asked him for the tenth time when I noticed that he wasn't comfortable in his own skin because he kept tossing and turning every now and then but he didn't reply

"Do you care for some drink?" He asked as he was getting out of bed without waiting for my reply..

I joined him five minutes later and got myself a wine glass before joining him

"That girl name is Sofia" he said after his third glass of wine

"I'm not asking"

"I know. I just want you to know" he replied before pouring more wine into his glass "we were childhood friends. I've known her for almost all my life and we've been in an on and off relationship for sometime now"

"Why are you telling me all this?"

"Because I want you to know. No one understands me. My father always want me to dance to his tune. I wanted be a writer but my dad turned it down.

Both of them always want me to do what they want. Everytime! Every goddamn time! They don't care whether their decision is hurting me inside.

All what they want is for me to listen to them because I am their son and because I might not be in this position if not for them.

They want me to marry Sofia"

I have knew that, that was what their reaction were about this evening but my heart still sank when I heard it from him

"They don't want to hear my side of the story. She is always right. Just because of what? Just because her parents are richer than us.

My dad wants more connections, he wants more power and he doesn't care getting it through my pain, my sorrow, my blood.

That Sofia is a real bitch. But my dad will never listen. At first, I thought she was gonna change. You know... As in, I wasn't enough for her.

She would cheat. I would catch her. we would break up. she would come back to me, begging. I would take her back. she would cheat again. I would catch her. She would come back to me, begging again! And we would repeat that goddamn process again! Again! And again!

She makes me feel like a fool. She makes me feel incompetent because I wanted to satisfy my parents. She makes me feel as if without her and her family, my family wouldn't have made it

'Sofia this, Sofia that' mom will keep saying. As if she is the one that will live with her after marriage.

I want to marry someone that I love not someone that my parents want me to marry. Someone that I will be proud of, not some bitches.

I don't care if this is going to cause some fight between me and my parents because I'm pretty sure I'm not going to marry Sofia. I'm not going to marry anyone because my parents want me to. I will rather remain single for the rest of my life than to marry that bitch. Not after all what she had done"

I later helped him back to bed because he was too drunk to walk by himself after disclosing his feelings to me

I shifted more to him on bed for more heat and was already dozing off when he wrapped his hand around my waist and called

"Lexi!"

"Huh?"

"Don't you ever leave me" he said babyish

"Stop acting like a baby, it doesn't suit my boss"

"I'm being serious. Don't you ever leave me for anybody else. Peter, James, Cynthia. Don't you ever leave me for..." He trailed off as he surrendered to sleep

I got up as early as possible on Sunday morning and prepared breakfast by ordering bread and eggs online since there was nothing in his house and woke him up when I was through

"Good morning" I said with a lovely smile splattered to my face "Jason! Jason! Wake up" I tapped him

"Uhn" he said lazily

"Get up. It's morning" I cheered

"It is?"

"Yeah, it is. Get up. Breakfast is ready"

"Breakfast?" He asked unbelievably

"Yeah. It's not something much"

"You made it yourself?"
