Enslaved By The CEO

Losing a child is like losing your life too. I felt like I also died even if I’m alive. Why is this happening in my life? I just love but why do I keep hurting?

I wept as I knelt at my son’s grave.

“A-My son …”

“Lara, you can handle all this too.” Mylene hugged me back while comforting me.

“B-Why my child?” I didn’t ask myself that question.

“God has a reason–”

“Then, what is his reason ?!” I shouted.

I can’t stop myself from asking him. Why? Why did he even take my son? what is his reason

“Lara, we’re here for you. Please be strong. You can also pass all these tests. We’re just here to accompany you.” I did not speak and just stared at my son’s grave.

Then Lucifer and Fiona’s faces flashed on my mind. I gritted my teeth.

“Are they happy now? Are they happy that I’m like this? I’m hurting too much? Are they happy that my a-child is gone?”

“Lara–”

“I’ll pay them.” I clenched my fist.

“I will make sure that the time will come when they will be the ones to be hurtthe day will come when they will suffer. I will take revenge for the pain they made me feel! “I shouted.

“Lara, revenge is not the answer. You can only say that because you are angry and still hurting. if you want to prove to them that they were wrong in what you did, then get up. Be strong and show them that you are no longer the former Lara who can be hurt lightly. I know your child won’t be happy seeing you like this. “I looked at Mylene.

“We can help you, Lara.. if you want to get away from it, we will help you. Please Lara, I hate seeing you like this! I’m hurting too as your friend! “Turan would cry so I hugged him.

“T-Thank you …” I cried on his shoulder.

“Please be happy … I want to see you smile again.” he said so I nodded.

“G-I want to get away from here. G-I want to go somewhere far away from them. Far away from here. I want to start again. For myself and my son …”

With the help of Tristan and Mylene, I was able to go to Italy. I decided to take a board exam. i want to continue my dreams. I want to be a nurse.

And thank God, I passed. I am now a registered nurse.

I wiped away my tears and looked up to heaven.

“Son, this is for you. Mama will continue to live for you. Watch over me there son, ah?” I whispered.

so fast a time that four years passed immediately. Four years passed immediately and I am very glad to say that I’m now living happily.

It’s just too fast isn’t it? No more pain. No more heartbreaks. My life is so peaceful now.

“Laraaaaa!” I smiled at Mylene’s scream as she ran over to me.

“I miss you!” He said and hugged me tightly.

“I missed you too, Mylene.”

“We finally met! After four years, we also met in person. We’re just bored with a video callthanks to my sugar daddy and I also flew here. “He laughed and at the same time we looked at Tristan who was also arriving.

“My handsome sugar daddy.” It made us laugh. With the speed of time, I’m also happy that the two of them also stayed together. yes, Mylene and Tristan is now in a relationship.

“Let’s have dinner outside together.” I think they both nodded.

“How’s your being a nurse here? What, did you answer the one who was flirting with you? The length of your hair ah ! he’s actually the son of the owner of the hospital where you work! “He said and pulled my hair slightly.

“Mylene! That’s not in my plan yet.” I replied that he grinned.

“Lara, you should have a boyfriend. Don’t tell me, you have a plan to be an old maid?”

I shrugged. “I guess that’s how it is.”

I laughed as Mylene pinched me on the side.

“What ?! What a waste of your beauty if that’s your plan!”

“Love, don’t force Lara. Maybe she also likes women so she doesn’t want men–”

“Oh, shut up Tristan!” I turned and stared at him.

He always teases me like that. The truth is, I don’t want to enter a relationship right now. I’m scared. I’m afraid of being hurt again because of that flash of love. I am content with the life I have now. I just don’t want trouble in my life. I don’t want a headache. Boys are only pain in the ass. Not at all, but I just really don’t like it!

“Nevermind, when will you get married again?” I asked them.

“It’s next month, Lara. Coming soon. You will be my maid of honor ! that’s why, in the Philippines we will get married. Are you okay? “Mylene was suddenly serious so I smiled.

Honestly, I don’t want to go home to that place but I have no choice. It’s my bestfriend’s wedding. I won’t miss it.

“Mylene, it’s fine. I have moved on. I’m okay. I’m happy.” I assure him.

They were obviously happy with what they learned from me and we went back to talking again until we were finished and in the car. As Tristan was driving the car, I came across a figure of a man who was very familiar to me. It was with a woman. i don’t know if it’s really him but he really looks like him. I’m not sure but I think I just saw Lucifer Villaflores entered the restaurant that we just also entered earlier.

I blinked and averted my gaze. Maybe it’s not really him. Why would he be stranded here in Italy? as far as I know they don’t have a business here – I’m not sure about that either but, why am I even thinking about that demon ?!

A week later, Tristan and Mylene also returned to the Philippines to take care of their upcoming wedding. I went back to work as a nurse.

When I arrived at the hospital, no one talked to me because almost all of them were angry or disgusted with me. They were angry because our boss’s son was flirting with me. Not to beautify, but is it my fault if a Radicus Gallante likes me? the half Italian and Half Filipino who speaks Tagalog so fluently.

Speaking of Radicus, he approached me with a smile.

“Hi, gorgeous!” He said so I was immediately shaken.

“I have a job, Radicus ah! Don’t disturb me.” I turned and stared at him. it understands tagalog because it grew up in the Philippines.

He laughed at what I said. “I’m here to visit dad and … also you.”

“Forgive me and go to your dad there!”

“Why are you so grumpy, Lara Velle ? I’m just trying to be nice and friendly here– “It didn’t end when the hospital entrance suddenly opened and an old man rushed there. I ran to assist and help but while I was assisting I was noticed I look at the patient’s face.

fernando Villaflores …

“What happened to the patient ?!” The Doctor asked.

“Heart attack.” My fellow nurses answered and immediately took the patient to the emergency room.

Tito Fernando had a heart attack?

I frowned and wondered. Why is he in Italy? Why is he here?

“W-Where’s my husband ?!” I regained consciousness and looked at the woman running towards me.

I was suddenly unable to move as his eyes widened to see me.

“L-Lara?” It asked but what stopped my world the most was the man who followed behind it.

lucifer Villaflores.

“L-Lara–”

“Your husband is now in the emergency room ma’am.” I didn’t finish Tita and I answered her question immediately.

I know it’s rude but I quickly turned my back on them and walked away from them.

i even heard tita called my name again but I continued to walk away from them.

I can not do it. I can’t face them again.

The next day, I entered the hospital very nervous. I think it was the first time I entered because I was very nervous. I don’t know but I think that’s why I’m nervous like this because of the idea that the Villaflores family is here.

I’ve heard Tito Fernando is fine now. This is a private room and it is not yet possible to leave the hospital.

as I was walking, the annoying person called me again during my work hours.

“Hey gorgeous! Good morning, roses for you!” She smiled at the opening and handed me the flowers.

“Rad, you don’t have to do this. Look, my co-nurses are glaring at me right now.” it just laughed and shook.

“I don’t care about them, Lara. Aren’t you used to it yet?”

“Radicus, this is not allowed during work hours–”

“So, can I go after work? Sure, you want us to have dinner later?” He said and the grin grew bigger.

I just shook and sighed.

“It’s just a friendly dinner!” He insisted so I was forced to nod.

“Fine! Just stop disturbing and annoying you right now. We’re busy right now, okay?” It nodded and smiled at me.

“Yes! I’ll see you later, gorgeous!” It left immediately so I was out of breath.

“Ang kulit–”

“Really ? flirting while working? “I suddenly stopped and my eyes widened when something blocked my path.

My chest throbbed fast when I recognized who it was.

“Nice to see you again, Lara Velle Silva.” the hairs on my body stood up when it mentioned my full name.

But instead of reacting to its presence, I took a deep breath and met his gaze.

“Excuse me sir, how may I help you?” But I asked.

the smirk disappeared from its lips and its forehead furrowed.

“Don’t act as if you don’t know me, Lara.” I faked a smile at him.

“Sorry sir but I don’t really know you. May I know your name sir?” Pretend. Just pretend that you don’t know him, Lara.

Lucifer chuckled and licked his lips. “Really ? then let me introduce myself to you. “He grabbed me by the arm and pulled me towards a hiding place.

I struggled but he leaned me against the wall and locked me in his arms.

“I am Lucifer Villaflores.” He said and suddenly applied his lips to mine.

my eyes widened and surprised at what it did.

I immediately pushed it and slapped it hard.

“How dare you ?!” I shout.

His jaw clenched. “Four years, Lara. I won’t let you run away from me again this time.”

I pushed it again.

“What are you doing here ?! And what are you saying ?’Don’t you want me to stay away from you? Then why are you acting like– ”

“Fvck, stop shouting–” I slapped him again.

“Fvck you Lucifer Villaflores! I don’t know why you’re here in this country but I want you to stay away from me. Don’t ever come near me!” I warned him.

he just smiled at me and brought his face closer. “No, Lara. You can’t order me. I will do everything just to win you back–”

“You can’t win me back, Lucifer. I will never go back to a demon like you. The demon who killed his own child.” I pushed it again and left him standing there.

Yes, I’m blaming him. It’s his fault. It was his fault why we lost our son.

“Lara, are you okay?” I blinked as Radicus tapped my cheek.

“Ah, s-sorry Rad.”

“It’s fine. What’s bothering you?” Question it.

“P-I’m just tired from work.” I lied. The truth is that what happened earlier bothered me.

I can not believe. Too fast things happened.

Why?

Why is he acting like he wants to come back to me?

And if what he said earlier is true then why only now?

why not when I was still chasing him? What happened? Did I think it was married to Fiona?

“So, Lara. Can you tell me about your parents?” I looked at Rad because of his question.

“My parents died when I was just twelve years old because of an accidentmy aunt took care of me until I was eighteen but she also died. Since then, I’ve been alone. “I answered his question.

“Oh, sorry to hear that. I shouldn’t have asked–”

“No, it’s fine Rad.” I continued to eat.

“I guess you’re really tired. it’s like you’re not on your own. Do you want to go home now? “He asked again so I nodded shyly. All I really want now is to rest and sleep so that the troubles in my mind will temporarily disappear.

“I’m sorry, Rad. I’m just really tired. I just want to sleep …”I apologized to him but I just smiled.

“It’s really tiring to be a nurse.” He said so we both laughed.

Eventually, it took me to the house I was renting.

“Thank you for the ride, Rad.” I thanked him and he just smiled.

“You’re welcome. See you tomorrow!” he said goodbye and left in his car.

I just stared until I could no longer see Radicus’ car. I sighed and was about to enter when suddenly a car pulled up in front of me.

My forehead frowned especially when its rider got off.

“W-What are you doing here? How did you know I lived here?” I asked Lucifer one question after another as he finally got out of the car.

He was able to walk towards me.

“I have my ways, Lara.” His answer was serious and he stared at me intently.

“What are you doing ?! you are trespassing! I can sue you– ”

“Sue me, Lara. I don’t care.” Its language is tough and even closer. I, on the other hand, backed away and was confused.

“Stop! Why are you here ?! Stop following and pestering me!” I shout.

It stopped suddenly and looked at me seriously.

“I’m here to say that I won’t stop until I’ll make you mine again, my Velle.”
