The CEO's Son is a Serial Killer V.III Respite
"Good night, Alexa."The P.E. teacher stood slack-jawed as the rapid-fire rebuttal of her clearly annoyed friend shut her down every step of the way. Heather's replies were laced with more vitriol and exhaustion the more the redhead cut her off, probably due to what looked like a massive hangover if how the redhead reacted to her was anything to go by."It's not even noon yet."Alexa sighed to herself as she let herself out of the admittedly small bedroom. It would've been nice to get a bit more info out of her unconscious colleague, but she knew when to not push boundaries.Taking both the letter and the unopened box with her to the small apartment's living room, the brunette relaxed on the faded couch located right in front of the small TV in the center of the room. It was quite a spacious joint, now that she thought about it. Wonder wh

"Heather.""Dio."The spectacled teacher found the man waiting by the school gates. He wore a leather black blazer on top of a wine red polo, accompanied with black slacks and shiny black shoes. His eyes were still as unsettling as ever; seemingly undressing her from her humble white jacket and teacher's uniform."W-what do you want?" Damn, why did she always found herself stuttering in front of this man?"A second chance," Dio stated as if it was a basic fact in the world. "A chance to prove my worth to you.""W-Worth?""Yes," The COO reiterated with conviction. "I consider you a once in a lifetime opportunity, Heather. I'd be remiss if I simply let you go after just one less than stellar evening."The redhead felt her body heat up in response to the s

Heather can't stop herself from smiling like a madman. Even now, the elated redhead can hear her heart flailing wildly in her ear as her one blue eye dilated to get as much information about her surroundings as possible. Her body felt unnaturally responsive, her mind running a mile a minute without a single shred of thought wasted on trying to keep it up.It was intoxicating."Are we there yet?~"She had so much energy inside her right now. It didn't matter that the man beside her was the sole reason that she almost lost control. No. The anxiety she felt prior was muted now, replaced with razor-sharp intuition and deadly reflexes that she thought was lost to her forever. Whatever danger this man posed to her was no longer a concern for her.His safety however was an entirely different matter.It's been a long

Things were going swimmingly for Dio.Beyond the unforeseen change in attitude in his subject, he felt like he was making huge strides in terms of ingratiating himself on the beautiful Heather's good graces. It was a happy coincidence that the place he chose for tonight's date was a place that his subject clearly frequented and possibly adored. And it was a miraculous stroke of luck that the wallflower-turned-rose was clearly running on pure instinct now."What would you like to order?""The Beef Stew please," The scheming COO absently replied, before adding another item in his order. "and a side of rice."The COO thought that his eyes might've been playing tricks on him back at the school gate, that his lust was affecting his judgment a tad too much for his liking. But from the way his specimen almost seemed to stop herself from saying t
The CEO's Son is a Serial Killer VI.V Relapse
It was a small miracle that Ian showed up with their orders, his timing as impeccable as ever whenever it came to serving his paying customers. Heather was sure that she had lost all control when her despicable date mentioned the mere thought of having children. It was still a sore spot for her, having been cursed to no longer have the ability to become pregnant after her grueling ordeal years ago. She had made peace with it, of course, but with her mind as unruly as it was now, old grudges and misgivings were sure to rile her up beyond her ability to restrain herself.Good thing she didn't have any sort of weaponry on her person today.On the flipside, the redhead hadn't pigged out this hard in months. Sure, she had the opportunity to do so in her previous date with the COO in front of her, but that was an unmitigated disaster. Plus, she was still a normally restrained, functioning adult

"I'm a teacher ya know~ And it's my duty to educate and be educated~"Dio could hardly restrain himself as his charming subject all but assaulted him where he sat. Her madly blushing face was barely an inch away from his as her beautiful ruby and sapphire eyes stared intensely into his own. There was a certain manic tone that he saw inside those mismatched orbs that set his soul afire; a familiar feeling of being confronted...A challenge then."Very well then," The COO acquiesced, both hands clasped in front of him in a waiting manner. "What would you like to know?"

Helly celebrated her victory the only way she knew how: with more of Ian's sweet coconut cream pie going down her throat."Round two then?~"That was satisfaction at its finest; one-upping your opponent in their own game. The happily delirious redhead could never have enough of that kind of victory. Especially since she hadn't experienced what it was like in a long ass time."Very well."To his credit, Dio found his composure relatively quickly. But then again, what was there to expect from someone that's work

A Word from your Author
It's over! It's finally over!- E-eherm..Well wasn't this a trainwreck of a story.Heartstrings was supposed to be over well over a month ago. If it weren't for an arbitrary chapter and word count requirement, as well as poor planning, this thing would've been done in just over 80 to 90k words just like its predecessor. Now, at the very least, I had some takeaways from writing this thing, so do keep in mind that this serves as both a gigantic author's note and as a reflection for me to read as well.Let's get started, shall we?I never expected to write this kind of story in the first place; one that involved CEO bullshit that I always saw dominating the recommended pages of literary sites. In fact, this tale wasn't even on the master timeline that I always referred to in my note. It just... materialized in my head, per

Repeatedly dipping the tea bag in her mug, the English teacher wistfully sighed as she checked the date on the calendar."First week of March, huh..." the red-haired teacher muttered to herself as she sipped on her common beverage.

XVII.V Confrontation
It was going so well!*WHOOSH!*At one moment, he was in complete, and total control. His subject was clearly terrified; holding onto a piece of metal pipe like her life depended on it. She was flustered, stuttering even! The revelation of his side-activities even seemed to put her more off-balance as he made his approach!*WHOOSH! WHOOSH!*Then all of a sudden, his subject swung the pipe at him, clearly aiming for his head! Even now, he was doing his best to dodge as he carefully backed away from the blushing woman. Did he do something wrong?*WHOOSH! CLANG!*A resounding clang echoed throughout the warehouse as his subject's pipe collided with a stray metal cabinet. Any other woman would've been hurting if their arms rattled with such a force, but Dio could only watch as his blushing teacher simply went on like nothing even happened.What was this woman made of?"Why are you running?~" Heather

"Charlie?!"Heather called out to the proverbial ether as she stepped inside the suspiciously lit warehouse. With every intrepid step, her instincts screamed at her to always look behind her back, and she was more than ready to heed its advice.'Keep an eye out...'Nodding to herself as she fully entered the building, the teacher noted the surprisingly chilly air within, as well as the open lights that illuminated the area. It was clear that the warehouse was currently being used."Charlie?"Delving deeper into the warehouse, she couldn't help but feel that danger was just around the corner; her heart hammering with excitement as she cautiously turned another corner. Her right hand itched with anticipation; practically nagging at her to take some sort of makeshift weapon with her in case the

He was late. Livid, and late."BRAT!"Dio found himself screaming in anger just as he finished checking the time on his phone. It was already past seven, and he had yet to do the things that he wanted to do for the day. He hadn't dumped his refuse out of his car, he hadn't made headway on his later responsibilities, he hadn't even begun trying to tie up another loose end that he had to shut up.For fuck's sake, he could go on!*CRASH! CRASH!*He never managed to eat his breakfast at six, take a shower at six-thirty, or even read the newspaper by this time of day. His entire day was already thrown off schedule with this minor stunt, but it would be totally thrown off the window if the brat continued to evade his ire.*CRASH! THUD!*"Fu

"Yoohoo!~ Mr. Dio?~"It had been a few minutes since Helly had begun her search on the massive place that was the Alexandria Docks. The constant walking was uncharacteristically getting her feet sore despite being relatively short, but she supposed that that was because she hadn't done some long-distance walking in good a while."Anybody here?~"It was kind of nostalgic, to be quite honest; doing some basic searching for someone that she absolutely loathed. Quite the thrill, especially after years of boring schoolwork and teaching.'We love teaching...'But it never compared to the rush and satisfaction of removing scum off the streets~ She knew in the back of her mind that her rationale was screaming at her to stop, but her right hand was just aching to be let loose on someone that truly de
