The CEO Who Hates Me

"I will just check and discuss something with the guys. You can rest here for a while," said by Ryu which she answered by just a nod and smile.

Arya called her mom as soon as Ryu left her in the Master suite.

She said that she was out of town this time for work once more as Ryu suggested because it will be more complicated if she will say that she was with her whirlwind boyfriend.

"Dear, make sure you take care and don't be too hard on yourself." She heard her mom said followed by a sudden silence.

"Mom, are you still there? I am fine okay. My work is not exhausting at all. I just walk and make a pose at the stage. I got to wear designer's clothes also." She said with a cheerful tone. The she heard a long deep sigh from her mother.

"I am really sorry dear that this mom of yours was lacking. I can't even be of any helped to you and our family at all. I am so useless." Her mom said on the other line with a depressed tone. Her voice sounded as someone heavy-hearted.

Arya quickly said, "Stop saying nonsense mom. What you are doing for us all was nothing to compare with. It was hard taking good care of us, me, dad and especially Reese. You are the one who was always with Reese and that said we both knew was a tough job."

She doesn't know how her mom can stand it, seeing her daughter's pain and attacks every now and then.

She herself saw it once but she can't bear it so she left out her mom with Reese while she sobbed outside on the waiting chair.

She can't bear the crying of her sister whenever the pain will attack her, her vomiting with medications and insertions of needles in her delicate skin.

Her mom had to witness and bore all that while staying beside her sister.

'How hard was it for a mom to see her own child in that situation?' That question was always with her whenever she will see her mom with Reese.

Her mom was always alone during the crucial times with Reese and she carried the entire burden by herself well by staying strong.

"I am so grateful that you are our mother mom. I am so proud of you so do not ever think less of yourself ever again or I will be down and hurt okay? I have to go now. I love you so much mom." She said smiling with her tone full of gratitude.

"I love you too dear and take care of yourself always and don't skip meals most importantly." Her mom said before Arya hung up the phone.

She was so startled when she felt strong arms on her waist from behind. She was sure it was Ryu because of his familiar scent.

"You are too sweet to your mom. What a filial daughter. Can you be like that to me also and be a filial girlfriend will you?" Ryu murmured while he was burying his nose on her neck.

"Are you eavesdropping? Hey stop what you are doing right now, it tickles." Arya asked and commented complaining.

"But I want you to speak to me like that. You are very soft, sweet, appreciative and so encouraging. Also, I want to hear those words from you." Ryu muttered like a child in tantrums.

"But you are not my mom," Arya said to tease him.

"Ouch!" Arya cried out. Ryu suddenly bit her neck.

Ryu laughed hard and said, "There, that's your punishment for neglecting me."

"What are you, a frustrated vampire?" Arya exclaimed as she quickly turned around and bit his neck also in return.

But to her surprise, Ryu's eyes looked dangerous that moment. Those eyes were like a wolf that had seen a prey to feast at.

She can't even stand his intense stare on her so she quickly turned around to walk towards the door and said, "Hmm, I will go down first to check what we have for dinner. Oh right, I will cook something for you, I am sure you will like it."

But before she can reach the door, Ryu suddenly pulled her to him and said in a hoarse voice, "where do you think you are going? Yes, I am hungry right now but not for food."
