The Domineering Female CEO

Royalty informed me that everything would be ready in three days, and we would be leaving on the third day. I nodded, determination etched on my face.

The next morning, Xavier's call woke me up. His voice was laced with anger and hurt. "I hope you don't think I'm joking, Eliana. I want you to come to Sky City, now. Away from that horny bastard. If he thinks he can take you away from me, he has to kill me first."

I tried to calm him down. "Xavier, please calm down. I will be in Sky City soon, in three days."

But he wouldn't listen. "Then make it hasty," he demanded, his voice rising. "Half-screamed, 'Can you just calm down, Xavier?'"

I'd had enough. "Stop acting childish! There's nothing going on between Alexander and me!" I shouted. "He did this on purpose to drive us apart. Stop acting up and making me feel like I've hurt you intentionally."

But Xavier wouldn't let up. "Is that so? I'm now childish, right? I'm childish for getting angry because I saw you with someone who wants to take you away from me?"

His words cut deep. "It's only been two weeks, and you're already holding hands with another man! Just because he's a billionaire?! You're not even giving me the respect I deserve!"

I realized that I couldn't reason with him. His jealousy and insecurity were consuming him. To avoid breaking us up, I ended the call and switched off my phone, taking a deep breath to calm my racing heart.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Eliana, the woman I loved, was holding hands with Alexander, a man I knew was trouble. The headline had read: "Billionaire Alexander Spotted with Late Daughter of Damien Group of Companies, Holding Hands."

I felt a wave of anger and jealousy wash over me. How could she do this to me? Didn't she know how much I loved her? Didn't she care that I was hurting?

I tried to call her, but she wasn't answering. I left her messages, but she didn't respond. I was starting to feel like I was going crazy.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, she called me back. But instead of apologizing and explaining herself, she told me to calm down. She said that Alexander had done it on purpose to drive us apart.

I didn't care about Alexander's motives. All I cared about was that Eliana was holding hands with another man. I felt like I was losing her, and it was tearing me apart.

I tried to express my feelings to her, but she just got defensive. She told me I was being childish, that I was overreacting. But I knew I wasn't. I knew that I had every right to feel the way I did.

The conversation ended with Eliana hanging up on me. I was left standing there, feeling angry, hurt, and helpless. I didn't know what to do, or how to make things right between us. All I knew was that I couldn't lose her. I had to find a way to make her understand how I felt, and to make her see that I was the only one who truly loved her.

I paced back and forth in my living room, my mind racing with thoughts of Eliana and Alexander. I couldn't shake the image of them holding hands from my mind. It was like a constant reminder that I might be losing her.

I stopped pacing and looked out the window, my eyes gazing out at the city below. I had demanded that Eliana come to Sky City immediately, and I wasn't joking. I needed to see her, to talk to her, to make sure that she was still mine.

I couldn't bear the thought of losing her to Alexander or anyone else. I had to make sure that she knew how much I loved her, and that I would do anything to keep her by my side.

I turned away from the window and walked over to the bar, pouring myself a glass of whiskey. I tossed it back, feeling the burn all the way down.

I was going to make sure that Eliana came to Sky City, no matter what it took. And when she got here, we were going to have a long talk about what was going on between us.

I slumped against the bar, my eyes fixed on the phone in my hand. I had tried calling Eliana again, but her phone was still switched off. I felt a surge of anger and frustration, and before I knew it, I had thrown my cup against the wall.

Luckily, I was in a private room at the bar, so no one else witnessed my outburst. But Elvis, my friend and confidant, arrived soon after, concern etched on his face.

"Xavier, what's going on?" he asked, eyeing the shattered cup on the floor.

I poured out my frustrations to him, telling him everything that had happened with Eliana and Alexander. Elvis listened attentively, his expression growing more and more serious.

As the night wore on, I found myself drinking more and more, trying to drown my sorrows. Elvis stayed with me, watching as I drank myself into a stupor.

Eventually, he helped me back to my hotel room, where I collapsed onto the bed. As soon as Elvis left, I felt a stinging pain in my heart. I looked at my phone, but there were no calls or texts from Eliana.

I couldn't help it. For the first time in my life, I cried out in anguish, feeling like my heart was breaking into a million pieces. I regretted why I had fallen so deeply in love with Eliana. Why had I given her the power to hurt me so badly?

As I lay there, tears streaming down my face, I couldn't help but wonder if I would ever be able to trust Eliana again.

I woke up the next morning feeling weak and drained, both physically and emotionally. Thankfully, I had no role to play at the movie location that day, so I could just take it easy and try to recover from the previous night's events.

After taking a refreshing bath, I ordered some food and sat down to eat. Elvis, who had a role to play that day, checked in on me before leaving for the location. "Hey, man, you okay?" he asked, eyeing me with concern.

I nodded, trying to reassure him. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just need to rest and forget about everything for a while."

Elvis nodded sympathetically. "Take care, man. I'll check in on you later."

After he left, I put on a movie and tried to distract myself from thoughts of Eliana. But it was no use. Every scene, every line of dialogue, seemed to remind me of her in some way.

I didn't receive any calls from Eliana that day, and I didn't call her either. I was still hurt and angry, and I didn't know what to say to her. I just needed some time and space to process my emotions and figure out what to do next.

I went downstairs, still feeling a bit down from the previous day's events. As I walked through the lobby, I met Tiana, who was staying at the hotel. She tried to flirt with me, batting her eyelashes and smiling suggestively. But I wasn't in the mood. I brushed her off, trying to be polite but firm.

After sitting with her for a while, I excused myself and left her staring at my back as I headed back to my room. I wasn't interested in her advances, and I didn't want to lead her on.

As I turned a corner, I accidentally bumped into someone, causing them to drop their things. I quickly apologized and helped them pick up the items that had fallen. It was a hotel employee, and she smiled kindly at me.

"No need, thank you. I've got this," she said, waving me off.

I quickly apologized again and left, feeling a bit embarrassed about the whole encounter. I just wanted to get back to my room and be alone with my thoughts.

I ordered some snacks, hoping that the distraction would take my mind off Eliana and the events of the past few days. As I waited for the snacks to arrive, I heard a soft knock at the door.

I got up to open it, expecting it to be the room service staff with my snacks. But to my surprise, it was the same hotel employee I had bumped into earlier.

"Hi," she said, stepping inside with a warm smile.

"Hi," I replied, feeling a slight flutter in my chest. There was something about her smile that caught my attention, but I quickly shook it off. I was still reeling from the drama with Eliana, and I wasn't ready to entertain any new feelings.

"Can I help you with something?" I asked, trying to sound polite.

"I just came to deliver your snacks," she replied, holding up a tray with my order.

I smiled and thanked her, feeling a pang of guilt for not recognizing her earlier. "I'm sorry again for bumping into you earlier," I said, trying to make amends.

"It's okay, really," she replied, smiling again. "My name is Sofia, by the way."

I smiled back at her and tipped her as she left, feeling a slight sense of gratitude towards her. Maybe it was the kindness in her eyes, or the warmth of her smile, but for a brief moment, Sofia had managed to distract me from my troubles with Eliana.

As I munched on my snacks, my mind wandered back to Eliana. She had promised to arrive in Sky City in three days, but our last conversation had left me uncertain. She had ended the call abruptly, and her words still lingered in my mind.

"Stop acting childish," she had said. "There's nothing going on between Alexander and me."

But I knew what I had seen - her holding hands with another man. My anger and hurt still simmered, making my stomach twist into knots.

Despite my reservations, I decided to travel to Jai City. If Eliana didn't show up, I needed to know why. I couldn't just sit around and wait, hoping she would change her mind.

I thought to myself, "Oh man, I feel wrong, but look at me, shameless, thinking of going to the woman that hurt me." But I couldn't help how I felt. I needed answers, and I needed to see Eliana.
