The CEO Of My Dreams Returned To Me

Chapter 222: The Broken Man Behind The Mask

Skyla opened her tablet and gasped. The headings that welcomed her made her heart jump in her throat and tears welled up in her eyes making it difficult for her to see.

FROM A PLEASURE GIVER TO THE CEO OF MULTINATIONAL COMPANY KINCAID INTERNATIONAL

A HISTORY OF ZYAIR KINCAID AKA THE PORN STAR FROM MIRAGE

THE MAN BEHIND THE MASK IS A GIGOLO

Heading after heading, demeaning him passed in front of Skyla’s eyes. The link after link was being thrown her way as people targeted them both, labelling her a whore as well.

But her mind was reeling just with the thought to safeguard him.

After everything he had been through, he didn’t deserve this. Her disturbed eyes finally wavered to him, he had taken off his mask.

Zyair’s eyes were glued on his mobile looking extremely ashen, his expressions gone all blank. His eyes sparkled with tears for the first time, there was this defeated look in them. He had never cried in front of her.

She needed to get to him and make him see as less as was possible like he had done when her name was being dragged.

Fighting back tears, she rose like a queen and walked over to her man. She plucked the mobile from his hand and turned it off, not wanting for him to see the gutter mindset of the society they lived in.

Zyair greedily grabbed her waist and buried his face in her soft stomach, his shaking arms held her like a lifeline. Skyla’s arms wound around his head and pressed him into her as the first tears slipped out of his enigmatic eyes. He clenched them tight shut and fought back a sniffle.

The man with a tainted past completely broke down in her arms. His shoulders slouched and that fighting spirit of his completely broke today.

He was so very vulnerable right now just like the one she had met in the park when they were kids. Skyla was to protect him from the evils that now lurked in every corner and wanted to tear him apart.

"It’s alright, I am here. They don’t know what they are talking about and I will be damned if I let you see their insecure mindset."

She reassured him with a steely resolve, there was this newfound shade of confidence that had uncoiled inside her seeing her man so broken in her arms. No one was to hurt him and she would fight tooth and nail to ensure just that.

Her phone was constantly ringing behind her but she ignored it as she formed a plan and decided to execute it, while gently stroking his smooth hair.

This was the side of him only she was allowed to see. She slowly lifted his head and could see the streaks of tears making their way down to his temples and cheeks.

Her heart somersaulted and her own tears pricked the back side of her eyes, fighting to come out but she held them at bay. It sawed her insides to see him cry. She thought she knew pain, nothing was as painful as seeing him cry.

Leaning down she kissed away every trace of salty water that had slipped out of his eyes. Her soft lips caressed every wet part of her face.

"We are going to be fine, Zyair. I will fix this, I promise." She breathed out along his skin as she went by.

"Don’t cry, these people are not worth your tears. They are so precious, so priceless." He sniffled hearing her speak, closing his eyes he tried to hide the stifling emotions which were choking him.

Skyla then took off the one winged angel pendant from around her neck and placed it around his, letting it rest on his breaking heart. freёweɓnovel.com

"Here! I am returning it again to its rightful place."

She embraced him again, seeing he was lost for words. He tried to say something but no words would escape his throat. She didn’t need his narration to know what he was going through, she understood it too well.

The light from above set her beautiful hair on fire, that same fire descended in her eyes and heart, ready to teach all those people a lesson who had dared wrong him.

"We are going home. We will deal with rest tomorrow," she announced with finality.

Skyla picked up his mask from his desk and slowly covered his deeply grieved face with it. The face he had hidden from the world was plastered all over electronics media and tomorrow morning it will be all over the newspapers and magazines.

She picked up her phone and dialled Kail. He picked up on the first bell.

"Kail! Ready the car, we are leaving. No one should know."

"Yes, Ma’am!" Skyla ended the call and helped Zyair up.

She dialled Lawrence as they exited his office telling him they were headed home.

"Go, I will handle the situation here. Lay low for a few days until this shit storm dies and don’t let him see all the nonsense the media is spewing. Take care of him." Lawrence’s voice was serious and strained.

The media who used to adore him so much was ripping him apart today. They didn’t care about him, they cared about the ratings this would bring them.

"You don’t have to worry. Soon we will be holding a press conference. Just make preparations and ensure every mainstream media is present. We will need them all here."

Skyla informed him as they settled in Zyair’s car and headed out. Media and paparazzi had already gathered outside but they zoomed past them, not stopping and tinted glass made it impossible for them to peek inside.

"Miss Skyla, are you sure? They will rip you apart. Media doesn’t side with anyone but with the spicy news and the revenue that they will bring," Lawrence warned her, alarmed bells rang in his head.

"I am certain Lawrence and I know what I am doing. We just need a few days to prepare for it." The surety and determination in Skyla’s voice had Lawrence knowing she won’t stop.

"It will be done. Call me if there is anything and stay inside," he instructed before ending the call.

Skyla placed her phone in her bag with Zyair’s when he spoke from beside her while still staring outside.

"Don’t hold that press conference. They are already hurting me and I don’t think I can face them. I already dislike gatherings, this will be too much." The pain was ebbed in each letter he uttered. His eyes pleaded with her.

She quietly picked up his large hand and sandwiched it between hers before calmly saying.

"Trust your girl. I will not let anyone say anything to you. If you don’t want it we won’t do it." Skyla lied just to tone down his fears. She had every plan to hold a Press Conference but she would do it alone.

She had a whole team with her who would help her. Lawrence, Mawar, Huria, Rais, Eris and Kail. She would just keep him out of it but it was time the people who had hurt him will pay for what they did.
