Mr. CEO – You’re Dumped

Chapter 20 – A Beautiful Return

Elizabeth’s P.O.V

I woke up feeling dizzy and my head was spinning like a car wheel.

For the second time now, I woke up to a room that did not belong to me.

This time around, I wasn’t sure that I was in a bedroom of some sort as the smell of drugs and disinfectants filled my nostrils.

There was a lady beside me, holding my hand and mumbling words of prayer that I couldn’t understand.

I tried to sit up, but for a few seconds, it felt like I wasn’t in control of my body and I found it extremely difficult to sit up on my own.

“You shouldn’t do that to yourself,” the lady beside me suggested, and only then did I realize it was Amelia.

The memories of how we had climbed down the window of her bedroom, running from the Mafia and arriving at the museum, the Vatican city museum.

That was all I could remember and as for how I ended up here; that I wasn’t so sure of.

“Amelia, what’s going on? Where are we?” I asked her while struggling to sit upright on the bed I lay.

“We’re at the hospital, Princesse. You collapsed outside the museum. Doctor said it was because you haven’t eaten for the past four days,” she responded, stroking my hair with her hands.

Another memory popped up in my head. Being held captive by the Phoenix the leader of the mafia. The way he spoke so calmly, yet so terrifying.

“Do they know that we’re here?” I inquired from Amelia and, knowing that I was referring to the mafia, she gave me a reassuring smile.

“They won’t bother us anymore. Luckily, the cops could recognize you and they led us here with an escort. A group of police officers are guarding the hospital as we speak.”

I was so relieved to know that I was safe for the time being, but I wouldn’t be at peace until I had gotten away as far as possible from Vatican city.

We were still discussing and laughing about the horrible experience with the mafia when a doctor walked into my ward.

“Mrs. Mondragon, it’s good to see you’re finally awake,” the doctor smiled as he checked my vitals.

Amelia and I continued to whisper to ourselves, ignoring the doctor's presence and consequently getting to know each other better than we had hoped.

She told me the entire story about how she got to meet the Phoenix and of how he had paid for her mother’s medical expenses when she had cancer in exchange for her services.

She was barely a year younger than I was and it was a shame to know that the Mafia had wasted most of her youth by turning her into a slave and a s*x toy for their satisfaction.

“Doctor, could I borrow your phone for a little while?” I requested, and he handed me his phone with a smile before leaving my ward.

“What do you what to do now?” Amelia asked while playing with my hair.

“Calling home,” I responded as I dialed Andrews’ number on the phone and called him.

He didn’t respond the first time, neither did he respond to the second nor the third time.

I couldn’t call Luke. I know he must be worried sick about me, but if I called him, everyone would know of my present whereabouts in a jiffy.

I waited a few minutes before dialing Andrews number once more and God hearing my prayers, he finally picked up his phone.

“Who is this?” He asked, his voice cold and emotionless.

“I never liked the idea of you returning to the battlefield,” I teased him over the phone and he laughed softly.

They had times when Generals would return to their camp on the battleground to regroup the rest of the soldiers and that was the only time they could make calls.

“Elizabeth. I haven’t heard from you ever since I left Puerto Rico and you went to England. I know you didn’t want me to return to the battlefield, but I didn’t think you’d zone me out, too. What happened?” he said in an interrogative manner.

“It’s a very long story, General,” I giggled.

I took my time to narrate my ordeal to him. Starting from when I and Luke arrived at the St. Christopher’s Hospital in London and the surgery he had performed for Richard's mum.

I told him I was kidnapped, and he did not take the news comfortably. And although I did my best to assure him I was safe, he was angry that Luke hadn’t informed him.

Andrew was never one to take any crime as nothing or a job for the cops alone, and one crime he hated the most was k********g.

Knowing Andrew, he would have sent out a search party from every law enforcing agency he could contact and he would stop at nothing until he found me and put my abductors behind bars.

I was lost in my conversation with Andrew; I didn’t notice that Amelia had left the room.

She returned after a while, holding a tray of food and smiling as she set it down beside me.

“I’ll arrange for you a flight back to Puerto Rico this evening, and I’ll let Luke know that you’re on your way home,” Andrew informed me and after that, I ended the call; dropping the doctor's phone on the table.

Amelia insisted she feed me my breakfast, as she claimed I wasn’t strong enough to feed myself.

We both ended up playing with food and for the first time since my kidnap, I had a good laugh.

It had been an awfully long time since I had a female friend, and I never imagined making a new female friend while being held hostage by a group of mafia.

She made me happy, and I couldn’t imagine what would have been my fate if I had not met her.

“Would you like to follow me back to Puerto Rico?” I asked her and my question baffled her.

“And of what use could I possibly be to you, Princess Mondragon?” she smiled.

“Well, you could continue to treat me like a baby and become my nanny,” I teased her, and we both giggled.

I offered her a job at the Rose Corp as my secretary. She thought I was joking, but I wasn’t, and it took me a while to convince her I was serious about my offer.

She could live in the Mondragon Estate if she wanted to, or I could as well buy a house for her among the many estate buildings.

“Tell me this is some kind of dream?” her cheeks were bright red, like someone who just got burned by fire, and I realized it must have been an awfully long time since someone did something this nice for her.

She pondered over my offer for a long time and I thought she would decline, but I was super excited when she agreed to it.

“Alright fine, I’ll follow you to Puerto Rico, but only because you actually do need a nanny to look after you,” she laughed, and I pulled her in for a warm hug.

I was discharged from the hospital later in the day and on our way out of my ward; we met a group of soldiers waiting for me at the door.

According to the soldier who was extremely good looking, they had arrived from Mexico, under orders from Andrew to ensure that I got home safely and they would also serve as my personal security for the time being; until he found a trustworthy security agency that could work for me.

We left the hospital escorted by the military and arrived at the airport just a few minutes before my flight that evening.

On our arrival, the receptionist informed me that there was a Mondragon private plane waiting for me at the runaway for take off.

We boarded the plane and Amelia was stunned when we got inside the plane and I could tell she hadn’t boarded a plane this luxurious before.

“You are truly a princess,” she giggled as we put on our seatbelts.

After a few discussions with the airport flight controllers, the pilot brought the plane engine to life, and we took off to Puerto Rico.

The flight was smooth and lovely, especially because I had Amelia to keep me company on the way.

We gossiped, laughed, played games and made fun of the soldiers who stood guard on the flight and my heart was full of nothing but Joy and happiness, but all that vanished the moment we landed at the Puerto Rico airport.

Andrew really spared me no baby treatment as the latest model of the Mondragon Limo, which hadn’t even been announced to the world, was waiting for me outside the airport.

“Elizabeth, what the hell are you?” Amelia gasped at the sight of our ride.

“You can call me the Queen of Puerto Rico,” I giggled as we hopped into the car and the soldiers followed us behind with their vehicles.

In order not to ruin the element of surprise, I decided that Amelia and I would spend the night at Puerto Rico’s finest five-star hotel until the next day.

We got to the hotel and decided to go grab ourselves dinner before retiring to our bedroom.

“Ok, I know that the room you stayed in Vatican city was just a hologram, but this is just too perfect!” Amelia giggled as she fell on the bed.

“Well then Nanny Amelia… welcome to your new life,” I smiled at her and fell on the bed beside her and she dragged me closer to cuddle me.

We were enjoying the warmth of each other’s body when we heard a knock on our hotel room.

“I’ll go get it,” I told Amelia and walked to the door to find out who it was.

I opened the door and found Luke and Dr. Dorian outside my hotel room.

“Elizabeth! You’re alive! And your body is in one piece” Luke laughed as he hugged me tightly and I could have sworn that I almost exploded.

“Hey big brother. What are you doing here? What happened to surprising you and the rest of our family tomorrow?” I laughed as I let him and Dr. Dorian step into our hotel.

Amelia was undressing, and I did not know about that.

The sight of her body paralyzed Luke, and I almost caught him drooling.

“Oh, my gosh! I’m so sorry,” Amelia apologized as she grabbed her nightgown which we had bought on our way and put in on hurriedly.

“Luke, meet Amelia. She helped me escaped from the Mafia who kidnapped. Amelia meet Luke my elder brother and Dr. Dorian, his friend,” I smiled and I could sense the intense chemistry between Luke and Amelia.

After all the introductions were done, I asked Luke how things were at the company and he informed me he had also just returned to Puerto Rico today but he has scheduled a meeting for the morrow with the board members of Rose Corp.

I needed to get some sleep before tomorrow, but with him and Dorian around; it was pretty hard to do so, especially since my elder brother was flirting with my newly found best friend.

Dorian, on the other hand, tried making moves at me but I wasn’t just in mood.

I let him off with a kiss and at once I regretted doing that as I realized he would take it as a go ahead to court me, even though I found him attractive.

“Alright boys. It’s time for you guys to head out and let us get some sleep!” I yelled and right in front of me, Amelia hugged Luke. Like a very tight, intimate hug.

“I’ll see you guys tomorrow at the office then, Amelia, goodnight” Luke smiled and kissed her palm gently before leaving the room with Dorian.

“I’m still here, you know!” I laughed as Amelia hugged me from behind and dragged me to the bed.

“Now… where were we?” she giggled as we returned to our cuddling position and fell into the sweet embrace of slumber.
