GETTING THE HEART OF THE CEO

“What about the other two young ones?”

“One day, I went shopping and came across a young man, crying and disheveled, with no desire to live due to his family’s disdain for not understanding his sexuality. I encouraged Luan to come here to share with the children, and since then, he hasn’t stopped coming. Stefany is a brave young girl, was sexually abused by her stepfather, by fate, she crossed paths with Lin and Janna, who brought her here, and she lived with us for a while. She and Luan had become very close. One day, she went to live with Luan, who takes care of her like a sister. These four angels appear on weekends to bring joy to these little ones.”

Kyle’s hardened heart trembled at what he heard. He watched the children play for a while. Lucia greeted him with waves, and he felt a connection with them. He decided.

“I want to sponsor this place. I want to create a recreational area for the children. On Monday, I’ll send someone to talk to you and assess the most urgent needs of the house. I noticed that there are rooms lacking beds, with only mattresses. I need you to take inventory of how many children you shelter here and give that information to that person. She will be in charge of furnishing the rooms according to the number of children. I’ll also talk to my grandfather about this shelter, so the company can make a monthly donation to cover some of the children’s needs. I know he won’t refuse to help these little ones.”

“Thank you, Mr. Kyle. I don’t know how to thank you for your help,” Jimena said, with tears in her eyes, excited, hugging him.

“Thank Lin for that. It’s because of her that I’m here.”

Jimena stood up with teary eyes and called everyone.

“Come here, kids. I want you all to know that Mr. Kyle is another angel that God placed in our path, and from now on, he will help us financially with our home. Soon, you will have beds to sleep in. I cry with excitement,” she wiped her face with her fingers.

All the children shouted for joy because they were going to sleep in beds.

“Kyle! Can I have a bed just for myself? Or do I have to sleep with Teresa? She moves a lot,” Lucia innocently asked.

“If it’s you who doesn’t let me sleep, you kick me in your sleep,” Teresa reacted annoyed.

All the adults laughed heartily at the girls’ antics.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“Yes, princess, I’ll make sure everyone has their own bed.”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you,” Lucia hugged him, gave him a kiss on the cheek, and nestled between his legs.

They returned to the dining room to eat happily with the good news.

“I think it’s time for us to leave,” Stefany commented.

“Yes, I’m leaving too,” Luan began to hug everyone. When he approached Kyle, he stopped. “Not you!” He turned around, grabbed Stefany’s arm, and left.

Each one left the place. When Kyle was leaving the house, Lucia arrived, out of breath, with a drawing in her hand.

“Take this, Kyle. It’s for you, to thank you for letting me sleep in a little bed.”

Kyle bent down and took the drawing. Vaguely visible were straight and curved lines forming a figure of a man, a woman, and a girl with a smile covering her face. In the middle of the little body was a big heart with a happy face.

“Look, here’s you, this is Lin, and this is me, with my happy heart,” she explained, pointing with her little finger, and suddenly hugged him.

Kyle responded to the hug, gave her a kiss on the cheek, and left the place.

“Come on, friend, let’s take a taxi,” Lindsey took Janna’s arm and began to walk out of the facilities.

“They’re coming with me,” a rough voice indicated behind them.

Lindsey turned around, and their gazes intertwined. She was the first to look away so he wouldn’t notice her nervousness.

“No! Kyle, we’re taking a taxi, we don’t want to inconvenience you.”

“I’m not leaving you alone out there. Get in the car,” he pointed to the blue Magda parked beside them, Freed already at the wheel.

“No!” She turned her back to continue walking when she felt herself lifted in the air.

“Yes! You’re not going to wander around on your own while being married” he warned with an authoritative tone. He turns her around and tosses her over his shoulder.

“Why do you care? We’re only married on paper for a few months,” she shouted furiously, squirming in the strong but gentle arms that held her.

Kyle didn’t respond. He set her down on her feet, took her by the arm, and guided her to enter. He slammed the door shut, circled around the car, and got in through the other door.

“Join me as a co-pilot, or do you want me to do the same?” Freed mumbled with a mischievous smile and sparkling emerald eyes.

“Fine, I’ll get in by myself,” Janna said, circling the car and getting in.

“Damn it!” Lindsey exclaimed, arms crossed.

Kyle avoided looking at her, lost in his thoughts. When he lifted her, some unruly hair passed by his nose, emitting a truly delicious scent-it wasn’t perfume but a mix of chamomile and vanilla. When he pressed her legs, a refreshing vanilla scent filled his nostrils, unsettling his senses.

The journey back home was silent and fast.

“See you tomorrow, friend,” Janna said, getting out of the car.

Lindsey hurried into the house and climbed the stairs quickly. As she reached for the doorknob, he noticed a large hand resting on hers, causing a small spark that turned into an electric shock, running through her entire body as she heard him exhale deeply near her ear. She saw the doorknob turn, making her enter, and behind her, she heard the door close.

In panic, Lindsey turned around and saw her provocateur, his dark gaze fixed on her.

“What the hell are you doing in my room? I’d appreciate it if you leave,” she managed to articulate with a thread of a voice.
