Chapter 1 Mr CEO

• In Capital Z, SKY Corporation reigns supreme. Its mastermind, Bill Sky, known as the ‘Ruthless King’ in business world, commands absolute obedience, his rule unchallenged.
• For Bill, business is everything and everything is business. Romance is a triviality. Women, mere dalliances, bound by contract and fleeting desire. No strings attached, no second chances.
• His life is way too perfect under his control until one night at the Sky Villa.
• "I'm sorry Mom, I was a bit late. I have some important things to do in the office so I cannot leave immediately for our dinner." Feeling exhausted, Bill said.
• "Don't worry, son, you are just in time. Your Dad is waiting for you in the study room. Go and check him out." His mother, Kelly said while giving him a warm hug.
• " Okay, I'll be heading now," Bill replied.
• In the study room, Ed is sitting with a folder in his hand. One can easily tell that he is seriously waiting for his son to enter his study room.
• "Dad, I'm here," Bill uttered.
• Ed turned his head to him and nodded, acknowledging his presence, pointing to the seat in front of his table.
• "Have a seat," Ed said with a serious and sad hint in his eyes.
• At that very moment, Bill already knew something wasn't right. He couldn’t help but feeling a bit agitated, " Dad, let's stop beating around the bush, what is it?"
• Upon hearing his son's words, Ed raised the folder from his hand and gave it to his son. "See it for yourself."
• Bill immediately took the file and read it.
• Right at that very moment, he was shattered. He paused and looked at his father, assessing calmly just like in the business ‘Panicking is no use,' then he said, "Let's get an immediate surgery." Holding the medical record of his father, which stated the detection of a tumor in his brain that was growing rapidly, he was upset but, there was no way he would show it in front of everyone, especially his father.
• Just when Bill was about to dial his secretary on his phone, Ed stopped him and said, " You are not getting any younger Bill, you need to have a successor. I cannot die peacefully if you are not settled. It's time for you to get a wife."
• As expected, his dad will smoothly cut the chase using his medical condition.
• "No one will die, Dad, my secretary will arrange your surgery soon. As for my wife, you are well aware that I don't have time for it. " Bill firmly retorted.
• "Listen to me son, I know you are like me. You devoted your time to work and shouldered a big responsibility for the company, but look, look at me, I'm sick Bill. My life is not in my hands now. I can die today or tomorrow. But I'm happy because there's you! You've proved your worth a long time ago and we are very proud of you indeed, but you are our only son, we cannot just let you work in this lifetime. Have a life son!" Ed just didn't want to give his son a chance to make brief excuses.
• "I already have a life, and I'm happy with it, everything is under my control dad, too much worry about me will cause you harm," Bill replied.
• "Well then if you already knew worrying about you would cause me harm then, do what I say. And you know pretty well that I will not take 'NO' for an answer." Ed continued.
• "You only have 2 choices, son. You choose your wife or we will choose your wife. It's up to you! You know Jane Foster, she is coming back next week from abroad. She is the daughter of your Mom's best friend and Uncle George. They are a prominent family. She's also an achiever like you, I and your mom think that she is quite a match. Think about it, if you cannot introduce us to your woman this week consider Jane Foster as your registered wife. I don't have the luxury of time Bill. Once and for all I want to see you settled before I die. I want to see what my grandson looks like. Do you understand?"
• Ed regretted that he trained his son extremely in managing his business to the point of setting aside true emotions such as 'love'. He cannot just watch his son being married to his work.
• "Okay! To end this argument, I will bring you my woman two days from now." Feeling a little bit annoyed, he didn’t want to go far into this discussion.
• He is the ruthless CEO. There is no way he couldn't handle this very simple matter. At the back of his mind, he was thinking ahead about who he would bring to his parents. Of course, he couldn't choose among his sex toys.
• Satisfied with his son's answer Ed finished the discussion with a smile, forgetting his illness. "We will be looking forward to it son, after 2 days you may consider Jane Foster."
• Jane Foster, he met her when he was 11 and she was 8. She was a good pianist indeed. She performed at every family gathering and all his relatives, including his mom and dad, were so amazed by her talent. No wonder they like her very much to the extent that they want this girl to be his wife.
• ‘No way!’
• As far as he remembers her, she’s so dumb and clumsy. He hated the fact that she was the reason why his favorite toy robot broke into pieces. This toy robot played a very special part in his heart since it was given by his late grandfather when he was 5 years old. His grandfather is the only person he considers his best friend. He spoiled him a lot secretly. When his grandfather died, Bill was 6 years old at that time. Young Bill cried the whole night hugging his toy robot to sleep. It took him a year to accept that his grandfather wasn't with him anymore. Until now, thinking of him makes him feel sad.
• After the incident, he had never seen Jane Foster again and he never wanted to see her again. He bears this hatred in his heart for a long time toward this girl and now they wanted her to be his wife.
• ‘Fucking No Way!’ He cursed.
• He only has 2 days left. ‘There is nothing money can’t do.’ He thought. He can pay with any amount of money just to get rid of this troublesome Jane Foster. He has nothing to do with her.
• After dinner, he went to 'Luxury Bar' to have a drink. He called his cousin, Gab to accompany him. He had never been frustrated like this before. He thought it was just a simple matter, but turns out to be a complicated one. He is Bill Sky, and he closes multi-billion-dollar business dealings almost every day. How on earth he's going to let this matter interfere with his life?
• ‘No fucking way!’
