The CEO Who Hates Me

Synopsis:     

"If I kiss you, you will not die but there is no guarantee that I will stop with just one kiss…"      

Excerpt:     

"Hurry up and take them off!" she demanded.     

His eyebrows lifted up. "No! Only my wife will see me naked!" he replied firmly.     

She growled, traces of impatience evident on her beautiful face. She could get what she wanted if she could just get him naked!     

She had been trying to coax him, to seduce him to get her wish, but somehow it had all ended up with her stripping and him enjoying the view.     

"Fine! I will be your wife! Happy? Now just strip out of your clothes!"     

Her words made his full lips curve into a cunning but alluring smile. He immediately reached into his drawer and grabbed the documents he had prepared in advance and said, "I need to be sure before I can let you take advantage of my body. So, if you will just sign here… now!"     

Her jaw dropped hearing his conceited words. 'That sly wolf'     

She picked up the pen and scribbled her name on the papers. As soon as she lifted her hand, he called his assistant and handed the papers to him instructing, "Get this registered… this instant!"     

As the assistant went out and closed the door behind him Brione hissed at him, "What are you waiting for now? Just strip, will you.."     

Hearing her command, he smiled viciously, stepping closer to her he whispered, "Huh! Why don't you do the honors and satisfy yourself? This body and my whole existence is now all yours!"     

"..."     

Brione Yu had everything one could ever want. She had always been an over-achiever who was good at everything she did. She was famous in the entertainment industry as a phenomenal model and actress.      

She had everything which included a special person on whom she could rely for anything. Her best friend… her first love… Gavin Wu.     

But she had lost him before she could confess her true feelings to him, that she was ready to take a chance and turn their friendship into love.      

While she was missing him and longing for him, she had an unexpected encounter with a recluse Prince. He was the heir to the throne, in a foreign country. He was a cold and ruthless man who was feared by many. There were rumors that he was cursed and so he rarely came out of his palace which was situated on a secluded island.      

But Brione could not explain her attraction for this Prince? Why did he remind her of Gavin every time she set her eyes on him?     

The Prince resembled Gavin substantially but their characters were contradictory.     

Was fate playing some kind of cruel game with her? Or was she being played by the Prince?

Prologue:     

"I really don't understand why I can't bring myself to kiss anyone! I'm dying to have that project. I desperately want to act in that movie but I failed the audition because of a kissing scene... simply because of that damn kissing scene!" she complained as she took another sip from the bottle.     

Gavin sighed helplessly as he eyed the empty bottles of vodka on the table.      

His lips curved into a roguish grin as he teased, "I guess kissing scenes are just not meant for you. Especially with other men..."     

His eyes sparkled involuntarily while gazing at Brione's beauty. In his eyes, her beauty was beyond comparison… Her beauty was the epitome of the saying 'a beauty that could start a war between countries'.     

Those long curly eyelashes, cat-eye-shaped eyes, prominent eyebrows, pointed nose, and heart-shaped lips…They were all perfectly sculpted for her oval face. His favorite part was her heart-shaped lips that were naturally red tempting him to kiss them every second.     

Gavin inhaled loudly as if gathering some strength before he courageously whispered, "Have you heard of the love story of the sun and the moon? They say that the sun loved the moon so much that he died every night just to let her shine."     

Opening her eyes, she commented, "Hmm… the sun is too stupid then…" before drinking another gulp of vodka directly from the bottle.     

He chuckled, pinched her nose, and whispered, "Are you saying I'm too stupid? Because I'm the sun and you're my moon… that is how much I love you..."     

Her eyebrow furrowed but a mischievous smile appeared on her face as she moved closer to him and playfully whispered, "Kiss me then. Let's see if the love you offer can help me overcome my philemaphobia."     

He could smell the alcohol in her breath when she spoke so close to his face. He shook his head and firmly answered, "No, I won't!"     

He wanted to add that he would only kiss her when she was sober but she ignored him. She leaned closer to him until there was only a finger's gap between them before she declared with a wink, "Yes you will."     

He suddenly felt her lips landing on his. It was so soft and delicate that his instincts overpowered him and he subconsciously started kissing her back earnestly and passionately.      

She was a sloppy kisser, kissing him without any direction… moving her lips here and there, sucking and licking...      

She paused after a while and her eyes widened as she stared at him in disbelief. He gulped as the realization was striking him. He opened his mouth to say something but she cupped his face and pulled him again for another kiss.     

"It tastes like candy…" she unknowingly murmured in between their kisses. She has always liked the taste of candy so she continued licking and sucking.     

"Tasty… Hmmm…" she moaned.     

He managed to pull out of the kiss because if he didn't, he was afraid that he would lose control and do more. Taking advantage of her, especially when she was drunk was the last thing he wanted to do.     

"Are you drunk?" he questioned looking at her watery eyes intently.     

"Yes, I am but who cares! How come I can kiss you huh? Your lips taste like candy! Let's kiss once more!" she blabbered everything in one breath before she felt her head spinning around, making her lose consciousness.     

He was quick to catch her and whispered, "Will you remember this time when you wake up tomorrow?"     

He let out a deep sigh as he wrapped her in his arms. He wanted to confess to her but he lacked the courage to do it. He could only do it whenever she got drunk but unfortunately, she would always forget it once she woke up.     

He wondered if there would ever be a time in the future where he could be aggressive and do the things he wanted to do without hesitation…. Without having to consider the friendship they had since childhood. He was hiding all his emotions from her. His mind and body felt like a ticking bomb ready to explode at any given moment and show the real him that he wanted her to see.
