To Love My Boss
Marissa Dela Cruz had only one family – her grandmother. Her father abandoned her when she was still inside her mother’s womb, while her mother died due to childbirth. Due to her parents’ absence and the old age of her grandmother, she has grown independent and learned to be strong. Her bold characteristics, especially her work excellence and professional composure, made her qualified to become the secretary of the well-known and reputable Chief Executive Director, Diego Montero. Her work with the CEO was a lot challenging in the first three years, but she cope as time passes.
But one day, her stern and distant boss approached her, not because of clerical tasks or conference meetings. His words made her almost faint. “Can you make me a child?”

Chapter: Chapter One-Hundred-Three: A Little Bit ExcitedMarissa’s POV“You have to go. It’s going late already,” I said to Diego when we finally both went outside the house. “I don’t want you waiting for Lilith at this time. She won’t see you. Let’s give her some time.”Diego’s eyes were conspicuous in front of me, and it made my heart constrict again just like what it did when he kneeled in front of my daughter. Currently, he was subtly looking behind me as if he was hoping Lilith to go outside. He was even playing with his fingers nervously, fidgeting and blinking. The sides of his eyes have already dried up from crying. “Diego…” I called him, now claiming his attention. “Are you okay?”“Yes,” he immediately said and bowed his head. “I feel like I am just disturbing you and Lilith.”“When did you know?” I curiously asked. “That she is your daughter?”He only looked at me with sadness, his eyes venturing around my face. It did not make me uncomfortable. It even gave me nostalgia for how he looked at me every time before, side by side on

Chapter: Chapter One-Hundred-Two: He Is Your DadMARISSA’S POV“Are you really sure about talking to him?” Brylle asked as he hid my view of Diego who was sitting on the couch in the living room.I sighed while I was crossing my arms. “He wanted to see and know about our daughter,” I said. “What should I do? Deny? He already knew before he could even reach here.”“But you vowed to yourself that you will never see him,” he said firmly and furrowed his eyebrows. “Don’t tell me that you still have feelings for him, Marissa.”I remembered how Diego kissed me a while ago, and I felt so guilty in front of Brylle. Ever since I left the Philippines, he was the one who comforted me together with Nica. They were both supportive of Lilith and I. So I know that he is just worried about me seeing Diego.I could not help but avoid my gaze. I saw from my peripheral vision that he nodded, as if he just confirmed something.“You still love him,” he reckoned.“I have been prepared for making Lilith meet her father,” I stated, meeting his gaze again.

Chapter: Chapter One-Hundred-One: We Were Just NothingI felt my heart drop when I saw Diego Montero entering the backyard with Lilith holding his hand and pulling him to her friends. Diego’s expression was mixed with confusion and surprise. The guests barely cared, because in their minds, Diego must just be a guest. “What is he doing here, Marissa?” Nica asked as I followed her going outside the house. “Do you think I know?” I exclaimed and muttered a crisp curse. “So why is he holding Lilith?” “I don’t know!” Nica and I kept exchanging frustrated mumbles because we have no idea why Diego was here. How did he even know my address? “Sir, you can get a slice of cake at the buffet table,” Lilith even said and pointed at the table with her head looking up to Diego. I was taken aback that I could not help and snatch her hand away when I got to the both of them. Diego parted his lips as he looked at me, his eyes digging into mine and searching answers from the questions he must be having in his mind. Out of urge, I held Lilith and moved

Chapter: Chapter One-Hundred: Like Mother, Like DaughterMARISSA’S POV“We have nothing to talk about,” I firmly said and dropped his hand. “Why don’t you go home to your family now, huh?”Before he could see the tears stinging at the sides of my eyes, I turned my back on him and went straight to my car with my heart beating fast and my mind so cloudy with memories. When I got inside my car and looked in front of me, his car was already running towards the exit, leaving me in the indoor parking lot of the company.I wanted to break down and hold my chest while mentally saying that everything would be alright. Whatever the reason he is here is solely none of my business. Whether he has a family or not, I don’t need him in my daughter’s life.But wait a minute, how did he know that we had a daughter? And did Madame Margarita Montero tell him about what we both agreed on in order for me to leave Diego?Nonetheless, what is done is done. I can’t go back to the past anymore. I have a life here in New York with my daughter. I may not be happy jus

Chapter: Chapter Ninety-Nine: You don’t get to leave meMARISSA’S POV I only snapped when Mrs. Rivera called me. I regarded her who was eyeing me up and down, weirded out by why I was wet. Even Diego was also coldly staring at me, couldn't care less that I was in front of him. He did not even flinch, as if he had already expected that I am here. In New York! “I… I’ll just change, madame. I’m sorry. Excuse me…” I did not waste time and immediately turned my back in order to escape from that stupid embarrassment. My little run with my high heels was awkward as I made my way to the washroom. I gave a message to Ms. Desmon to find me a pair of clothes from my locker and fix myself. “Shit, what was he doing here?!” I said in panic as I paced back and forth inside the cubicle. “He can’t be here. I mean, he can, but for all the places on Earth, why here?!” And he has a wife. And a child. It’s just five years, and he has already moved on? Or am I the only one who distinguished five years to be a shorter time? “Ma’am, here are your clothes.”

Chapter: Chapter Ninety-Eight: Fantasizing“Are you okay, ma’am? You seemed stressed. Do you want me to get you some coffee?” an assistant of mine asked me when she noticed me staring at the wall of my office.“Huh? Oh!” I exclaimed and almost panicked, but I stopped myself and just grabbed the paperwork in front of me. “Don’t mind me. Just please get to work.”Shit. I did not like the idea of not focusing on my work enough and being distracted by what had happened last night with Madame Zeana. Everything she said seemed so absurd to me and impossible.How could she be my mother? She lives in the US, and I lived with my grandmother in the Philippines. I had a simple and convenient life as an assistant, while she is the most luxurious woman who people have known, bringing success from her business and showbiz. Now I could not imagine her kneeling yesterday in front of me, just so I could forgive her.I clenched my fist, crumbling the paper inside my hand.“Ma’am, you are destroying the contract…”“Oh, shit…” I cussed and looked

Chapter: Chapter Eleven: PhoneI slowly looked up to Dark who was tightly hugging me as he furrowed his eyebrows and watched the car sprinting away which was about to hit me a while ago. I could see his chiseled jaw above my forehead, making me gulp due to its intense feeling it was giving me.“Fuck that driver…” he mumbled and looked down at me. “Are you okay?”I immediately shook my head and snapped out from my thoughts so I could push his chest away. “I… I’m sorry…” I said and cleared my throat.“Why are you mad, by the way?” he asked.“I am not,” I denied abruptly and turned my back on him, only to realize that my heart was beating so fast.We entered the mall after the guard examined the two of us. A woman in a black suit and hair in a bun who was formally standing in front of the guard straightened up as she saw us. I was about to ignore her, but Dark approached her half way. I squinted my eyes and did not have any choice but to follow.“Good day, sir,” the serious woman greeted with a frowning face. “I hope

Chapter: Chapter Ten: He Made Me Feel So Ugly!“Let’s go out.”I was reading a book from the library when Dark knocked on the door. I immediately closed the book when he appeared he looked at what I was reading. A smile plastered on my lips as I regarded him.“Oh, where are we going?” I asked with mandatory enthusiasm to avoid suspicions.“At the mall. We will buy a dress for you,” he said.“But why?”“Dinner in Baguio,” he said. “Jachrimo is already there.”“And do you mind if I ask why we are going to Baguio? It is too far… and cold,” I suggested and tilted my head.“A celebration,” he answered briefly answered and turned his back on me. “You’d better be ready next minute.”My face was disgruntled as I followed him with my glares. He talked to a maid before going his way. The maid, on the other hand, escorted me to my room and gave me the privacy to change.Sometimes, he is sweet. Sometimes, he is just a pure asshole. I could stand his cousin more than him. He wanted me to be his wife, and yet, I could not even go closer to him.

Chapter: Chapter Nine: Fell On HimI paced back and forth in my room as I repeatedly looked at the cell phone plastered on the bed. I am reluctant to call my dad and report to him that Dark Vergara wants to marry me.This is the thing that I want, right? I am here to seduce him so that he will fall in love with me, ask my hand, and marry me to gain information about his gang's lousy activities. After that, I am out on this mission.But why is this happening all so fast? I did even go pass by a month here, and yet he is already proposing to me, which was my ultimate goal that I expected to go through a process. Because it was supposed to be that way!To distract his enemies? What does he mean by that?After pacing back and forth, I decided to try opening his study room again and not call my daddy to report anything unless I had my own answers. I have to investigate on my own this time because I am confused about his motives. He is not well-aware of who I am, so it is impossible that he knows about my identity and decides

Chapter: Chapter Eight: Marry MeI'm thirsty. That was what I thought when I got up in bed and felt my throat so parched in the middle of my sleep. Going to the kitchen was the primary plan I had as I stood up and left my room to drink water. While yawning and going down the staircase, I noticed how dark the mansion was because the lights were all turned off... except the dining hall. I could see it through the hallway, pertaining that someone was still awake. A maid, perhaps? I would not be bothered in either ways since I also interact with them to create a good reputation in this mansion. In that way, they could also respect me as much as they respect Dark.I did not mind a person being in the kitchen, though. I just walked through the silent and eerie hallway. I will gradually see who is awake since I will have to pass by the dining hall before I can get to the refrigerator."S-Sir!" I exclaimed and almost jumped when I saw Dark Vergara sitting on a stool in front of the counter of a small bar. He only raised h

Chapter: Chapter Seven: The Scripted Confrontation"Here it is..."I paused, watching the television in front of me when Dark just swayed himself over towards my direction. His nonchalant expression greeted me as he placed some women's clothes beside the sofa where I was sitting. I looked up at him and caressed the clothes he had just brought."You can wear all of these while you are here," he said, and demonstrated his hands."These are not new. Whose clothes are these?" I curiously asked when I noticed that there were no tags, and they looked like they were already used.On that question, he avoided his gaze and transferred it to the ongoing show on television. I squinted at his reaction. That was suspicious. "No questions. Just wear them," he said, avoiding the question. "Anyway, are you comfortable here? Or do you want me to transfer you to another room?""No, I am good," I said and smiled. "Tomorrow, we will go to your place where you and your supposed husband reside." I feel like I was caught red-handed. What? Why does he nee

Chapter: Chapter Six: Mistaken Room"Have you already proceeded to meet him?" Dad asked from the other line. I tiptoed towards the huge curtains in the living area and stole a glance from the grand staircase, checking if someone was listening to me. Thank goodness the maids are busy in the pool area, so the living area was deserted. It was only me in the middle of a hot morning. "Yes, Dad," I answered and peeked over the thick, expensive curtains to see the maids cleaning outside. "I am in his mansion, and he is currently in his room. I don't know if he has the agenda for his gang today. Yesterday... everything happened so quickly..."From me planning to be hit by his car, so I could gain his sympathy. Went to the hospital, pretended that I was unconscious, and was even shocked that he was there - waiting for me to wake up. He even watched me open my eyes and guided me to sit on the hospital bed. And now... I am in his mansion with a roof on my head, a guest room that was offered to me, and a time frame that we could
