The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 1133

Aurelia continued, her voice a playful lilt, "Our heroine's caught in a hell of a bind. On one hand, she is head over heels for the CEO and doesn't want to see him suffer at the hands of the gang leader, aching to bust him out. On the other, she can't bring herself to betray the boss who is a ruthless son of a gun. If he gets a whiff of her disloyalty, he'll off her without batting an eye. She's torn, you know? And to top it all off, she's got a bun in the oven." She paused, grabbing an orange from and peeling it with deft fingers.

Beverley, leaning forward, her eyes wide with anticipation, blurted out, "Don't leave me hanging! Keep going. This story would be box office gold if it hit the screens in the summer!"

Aurelia shrugged, "I haven’t quite figured out the rest. How about you all pitch in some ideas?"

Beverley's eyes did a little dance as she pondered, "Well, she's gotta save the CEO, right? He's her future, her love and happiness. Sticking with that gang leader will only give her a lifetime of misery. If that big bad finds out she's pregnant, he'll for sure want the kid gone. Only a fool would stick with the bad guy."

Aurelia patted her shoulder, "Beverley, this is a script. I should make it juicy. The villain can't be some old ugly mug, no way. He's gotta be a looker, the kind that's all the rage now, born with a hidden illness, a dark psyche, a real twisted charm. There's gotta be some heat between him and our girl."

Beverley flashed a thumbs up, "You know what the audience craves, Aurelia."

Aurelia went on, "The villain is a master at mind games and lavishes her with affection on the surface. But he's just using her as a pawn to play his game. The only person he loves is himself. The man who loves her is the CEO."

Aurelia glanced sidelong at Lisbeth, hoping to gauge a reaction. Her storyline was getting pretty close to the mark, wasn't it?

Lisbeth sat there, head bowed, sipping her drink. Her thick hair cascaded down like a waterfall, hiding her face and any hint of her thoughts.
