Trending Ceo

After some days, Peggy started trending on the internet about her new mysterious achievement, which made her appear on different screens.

 

 

 

Arlo's stay in Italy was dangerous to him, but he couldn't leave his client. It was a moment of life and death because Tatiana's Italian husband was done with her and decided to get rid of her. But Tatiana was strong and fought hard.

 

 

 

"This wasn't what we agreed on. We were meant to leave this country tonight, but now you are here preaching to me. I can't do this," Arlo angrily said with fear as he dropped the glass in his hands.

 

 

 

Tatiana, who just ran inside panting like one who escaped the strong hands of death, sat on the couch and couldn't say anything for a few seconds. "I know we had a deal, but what if we get killed? These people are taking things more seriously than I thought. I just want to go back to America and never return here. He used me; he made me believe he loved me; now see what I am passing through." Tatiana said it in tears, trying to make Arlo see the point in what she was saying.

 

 

 

Arlo took a few steps back to where Tatiana sat. "Used you? He didn't; you used him. You have another husband, and you also have me. Who knows if you have more, and you think he wouldn't find out?" Arlo rhetorically asked. Tatiana sparked.

 

 

 

"How dare you? You want to start judging me? You think I don't know you are married? Watch your left and right before throwing stones, son of a bitch." She angrily said that and stood up to leave.

 

 

 

Arlo was used to insults from women; he didn't find them that offensive. "Well, my wife knows that I am doing this, but does your husband know where you are and what brought you here?" Arlo asked with a sweet tone, causing the words to pierce Tatiana's born marrow.

 

 

 

Tatiana paused and majestically walked back, her face straight and unbothered. She released a heavy slap on Arlo's face. "You must be a fool to think you have a say in my life."

 

 

 

Arlo smiled. "If that will ease your pain, it's okay. But nothing stops me from leaving here tomorrow morning," Arlo said, moving closer to her. "Trust me, I will send your location to them. Witch!!" He said that and went inside the room.

 

 

 

Tatiana stood there for a few seconds, then turned and went inside the room. All through the night, Arlo couldn't sleep. His eyes were open to watch when his enemy struck, never to be caught off guard.

 

 

 

The next morning, he started getting ready to leave for the flight he booked the previous night. Tatiana had only him and didn't want to let him go. She walked up to him with her knees on the ground for the first time. Arlo was astonished by the sight of a proud, wealthy woman kneeling in front of him. "Please don't leave me. I couldn't sleep all night; I burned my midnight candles crying. I need you, please," she pleaded with tears in her eyes.

 

 

 

Arlo's heavy heart melted as he listened to her soft plea. "We can still leave now. Let's just leave so that you can have your peace." Arlo suggested, but Tatiana had her reasons for not leaving at the moment.

 

 

 

"I wish to fly away from here, but I know better than that. His men must be out there searching for something from which the airport is not excluded. I want us to be here for a few weeks so that we can move freely and safely. The truth is, if you walk with me in this unsafe moment, you are not safe either." Tatiana's bedroom voice sounded sweeter than ever as she was trying to find solutions to avert the death in front of her.

 

 

 

Arlo took a deep breath and held on to her hands to help her stand on her feet. "What about ships? We can go by ship to Australia, then take a flight to America. I think that would be safer." Arlo proposed.

 

 

 

Tatiana gave it a quick thought and responded, "Perfect!" She sat on the bed, drawing Arlo closer. "This is a brilliant idea. If we successfully leave this country, I will give a billion dollars to you." Tatiana promised. Arlo looked at her, unsure of what he heard.

 

 

 

"A billion what? I hope that wasn't a mistake." He confusingly demanded to know. Tatiana smiled.

 

 

 

"You bring so much joy and peace to my soul. It's time to appreciate your efforts, seen and unseen. I wouldn't have gotten to this point if not for your presence in my life. You have saved me several times; it's time to pay back."

 

 

 

Arlo was overwhelmed and hugged Tatiana. "Let me start making arrangements for the ship." Arlo happily said that and stood up to leave. Tatiana smiled widely.

 

 

 

After some hours, Arlo returned with good news. "The ship has been booked. We are leaving tonight." He shared the news, which made Tatiana smile wider. She slowly gave him a warm hug.

 

 

 

"This is a great one. Let me start getting my things ready." Tatiana said, placing her hands on Arlo's shoulder. Their eyes locked, Tatiana smiled, and she slowly placed her lips on Arlo's lips. Their tongues danced to the rhythm of the pleasure, and they slowly moved to the bed.

 

 

 

Arlo stopped; Tatiana wanted more, but he didn't want to continue. "What happened? You can't back off like that," Tatiana said to him. Every part of her body wanted more.

 

 

 

"This house, what happens to it when you stop coming to Italy?" Arlo asked to shift her attention, but it wasn't working.

 

 

 

"We can talk about that later, not now," Tatiana said, slowly moving her hands to Arlo's cock, but he stopped her.

 

 

 

"You know we can always do this, but now is the time to decide about your property."

 

 

 

Tatiana pressed further, avoiding the topic. "I can leave it here; I don't mind. Or do you want the house? I can give the documents to you now." Tatiana's desire for pleasure led her into giving her property to Arlo.

 

 

 

Arlo signed the documents she brought out without having a second thought about them. With a smile on his face, he obeyed her and gave her what she wanted.

 

 

 

Later in the day, they left for their journey. Tatiana was in disguise to avoid gunmen. As they got to the seaport, they met a dead end.

 

 

 

"This can't be happening," Tatiana protested as they were told that the ship couldn't move for two days because of the rogue wave signal they received. It was a heartbreaking moment.

 

 

 

Unknowingly, Tatiana's voice was loud and attracted predators. Her Italian husband sent his men after them. They opened fire, and Arlo managed to take Tatiana out of the scene, risking his life again.

 

 

 

After some time, Arlo started looking for Tatiana. She was nowhere to be found till he got to a restroom, where Tatiana sat on the floor with tears. As they stood up to leave, a step echoed through the hallway, and they paused.
