2021-06-27 13:34:36To say that Danielle was feeling guilty was an understatement.
Just now, Lucas said that he'd be temporarily working from home. He delegated every important matter to Ace and Drew to act on his behalf while he cannot go physically to the office.
And yet, he did not have to do that. Danielle caused Lucas' life to take this change.
But what was moving Danie was the fact that Lucas was not blaming her. It was as if it was natural for him to protect her.
"Dr. Levi, do you have to stay here with us?" of course, Danie was not doing anything so she went to bug the Doctor who was playing on his phone.
"Didn't you hear what Lucas said? He needs me here. So back off, lady," Levi did not spare her a glance.
She pouted and sat beside him while peeping at his game. "What are you playing? Teach me, would you?"
"It's for boys," Levi answered, moving away from her.
"Please?" she followed.
"Hey," Levi stopped playing and face

"What?" Danielle felt like she received another blow to her gut when she heard what Mrs. Leith said. "Uncle is in the hospital?" she repeated.She called James to tell him what happened and to plead that he take her already. But instead, she was met by bad news on his end."I'm sorry, Danielle. But don't worry. This has been happening a lot and he always comes out alright," Mrs. Leith encouraged her. "I just hope that this would be the last time. I am hopeful about his condition. I feel like he's near to recovery.""Can't I talk to him now?" Danielle really wanted to hear her Uncle's voice."You can talk to me instead," the older woman replied."I need to leave the Del Fierros, Mrs. Leith," her voice turned into soft sobs. "As soon as possible.""Did anything go wrong, Danielle?""Lucas already got hurt. He was shot, I don't know how he was doing right now," she cried. "I'm scared, I don't know what to do. I-""He got shot? How

Danielle was not able to get a full night's sleep. She could hardly get Lucas out of her thoughts. It was like she could not stop worrying unless she sees that he was okay with her own eyes."Good morning, Dana," Miriam went to her room to wake her up."Good morning, Auntie," she greeted back while yawning."Tabitha and Jio are coming over today," she said while pulling the curtains to let sunlight in. "I know you'd want to see them.""Really?" she asked excitedly. She was busy worrying about Lucas, she forgot about visiting Tabitha.It must be a good thing to see them today. After all, she was not sure if she could stay there longer."Yes, so get up and take a bath. Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes," Miriam helped her got up from bed.She gave her a pair of new crutches as well."Thank you, Auntie," though she wished that she wasn't going to need it sooner.If only her legs were fine, then Lucas did not have to

"Auntie, I'm fine. Why are you crying?" Danielle could not help but be emotional when Tabitha kept sobbing while hugging her.Esther and Jio were still bickering when they left her alone with Tabitha."Dana, since I lost my daughter, it's you who made me whole again. I can't take it if I will also lose you. I wanted to blame Lucas, but the poor boy risked his life to protect you. How could I scold him?" Tabitha laughed a little while pulling away from the hug."You're right, Auntie, Lucas saved me. So don't be mad at him, hmn?""He ought to. He brought you to the city even when this old woman begged him to forget about taking revenge on you.""You did that?" she was surprised."When you last went home, I talked to him because I was so worried about you."The last time? She remembered now, maybe that was why Lucas was so mad at her when they were going back to the city. He even accused her of pulling a drama. That mor

Danielle looked at her injuries in the mirror. Her right arm suffered a long and deep stab wound. And her left shoulder got a shallow wound.The nurse was not able to attack the third time because Levi and the rest were able to stop him.It was also a good thing that the ambulance hadn't left yet. And of course, because there's Dr. Levi, who was quick on his feet to treat her."How are you feeling?" Miriam asked her. Tabitha and Jio left already when they were sure that she was okay.Jane's mother almost had a heart attack when she saw her with blood all over her. Fortunately, she was attended to well."I'm okay, Auntie. Did the nurse say anything?" she had to ask to make sure that it was only her who heard when he called her Danielle Williams."He didn't speak a word," Miriam shook her head.Danie was relieved to hear that. In any case, no one should know who she really was. When she leaves, she wanted them to forget all about her.

"Tomorrow?" Danielle was not sure if she was happy or not.James called her to tell her that he's ready to take her with him."Do you need more time, Danielle?" James asked. "I can give you time until tomorrow night. The impostor Justus will be out of the country until the day after tomorrow.""How do you know about that, Uncle?""I know you will not believe me, but I've gotten in touch with someone loyal to his former boss. He recognized my voice and confirmed positively that I am Justus," James explained. "He said that the Impostor could not get rid of him because he uses him to run the empire. But sooner or later, he would get caught. And if that happens, he would surely be dead.""Can we trust him?""We could take the chance. According to him, the last attempt on you before he went abroad was that paid nurse. When he returns, and you're still with the Del Fierros, it might be too late to get them out of this mess. The Impostor was determ

When the morning came, Danielle was already forcing herself to look okay. Because in reality, she already wanted to cry and bid everyone goodbye. But she cannot do that. She did not want drama.James already told her the plan. All she needed to do was make it possible. But for everyone, she must leave tonight.Myrtle left early because she had to go to work. Esther had to go to school as well as Elijah and Ezekiel. Levi stayed because as he jokingly said, he had two patients at home. The Reverend also left for a counseling session but he'll be back before lunch as Danielle asked if she could talk to him and Miriam privately.Miriam prepared breakfast for Danie and Lucas in the garden. The latter uses a wheelchair to navigate around temporarily.There was nothing special with the breakfast menu. It was the typical, bacon, egg, fried rice, and brewed coffee. But for Danielle, it was by far the best breakfast she ever had in her whole life. And i

Miriam just smiled at her as confirmation. Danielle could not believe it. So everyone knew except Lucas? And they just let her believe that they think she forgot who she was?Isn't that embarrassing? She kept pretending to people who knew she was lying."Why did you not tell me?" she couldn't understand why."We did not want to decide for you, Dana. You were not ready. We did not want to push you into a situation that you are not prepared to handle. Besides, it feels good that you're the one who freed yourself, right?" said Marcus.He was right. It was liberating. But she still could not get over the fact that they knew her lies all along.If she only knew, she did not have to carry the burden in her heart for so long. But Marcus was also right, she was not ready."But what about Lucas? Why didn't you tell him?""Dana, we did not go around and tell everybody that you don't have amnesia. We knew because we felt it," Miriam held her han

Dear Lucas,I dreamt of Jane. She asked me to tell you something. I tried, but I just couldn't bring myself to tell you in person.Besides, I don't really believe that dead people could communicate to us, living in our dreams.Yet, in my dream, Jane and our short conversation seemed so real. That when I woke up, I was still calling her name before I realized that I was alone in your room.It was after the unit exploded. I even thought that I was dead.But where do I start in telling you what she said to me? Should I begin qouting her own words? I could remember every detail like I really ought to tell it to you.At first, I did not recognized her. I only met Jane once, and during that time, I was anxious and scared, I did not really have the time to look at her and Ruth. So when I saw this familiar beautiful lady in white dress smiling at me, I wondered who she was.But she called my name and mentioned your name, Lucas. That's when it

Finale"Danielle, what is wrong with you?" Myrtle was complaining again for the nth time. "Do you ever plan to be in a relationship with Lucas?"It had been a year and everyone's waiting impatiently for Danie to bring her status with Lucas to the next level. Especially Myrtle, who claimed her nine year relationship with Dr. Levi was going nowhere until Lucas got married first."Come on, you and Levi can always go ahead first," she rolled her eyes.Truth was, she was taking her sweet time with the courtship stage. Lucas was the best suitor ever. Not that she had past experience to compare to, but Lucas was simply incomparable.He was

LXVDanielle felt like her whole world was crushed into pieces when she saw that Lucas' body was already covered with white blanket.She couldn't breathe. Her heart was bleeding. She could feel the pain as if her heart was being torn literally and her blood was gushing out like a fountain.Why? Why did everything have to end that way?Was she a bad person? Why was it so hard for God to give her just this simple happiness she found in Lucas?"Lucas!" She cried. She wanted to hug his body, but she didn't want to accept that he was already gone.They were just minutes awa

LXIVShe didn't mean to fall asleep. But when Danielle opened her eyes again, it was already the next day.She was still at the Del Fierros. She used the same room as the one she used three years ago. Maybe she felt so at home or maybe it was the fact that she traveled hours to get there again or it could also be because she had been restless the last few days that she easily drifted off to sleep.When Danielle got up from her bed, she saw her bag carefully placed inside the room. She didn't remember bringing it when she and Tabitha went there hastily yesterday. Perhaps Tabitha brought it last night.She stood up and found something to wear before heading to the shower. While taking a bath, she couldn't help but be nervous.Was Lucas back home?He should be.Although nervous, she was also excited to see him. She prayed to God that everything's going to be fine when they face each other again.

"D-Dana?" Jio couldn't believe his eyes when he saw who their visitor was. For half a minute, he was just staring at Danie with wide eyes."May I come in, Jio?" She asked, smiling at the boy who visibly grew several inches taller since the last time she saw him."Dana, are you really here?""Who's that, Jio?" Tabitha's voice echoed from the kitchen."Mom!" Jio called. "It's Dana!" He excitedly ran to his mother and forgot to let Danie in who just helped herself in.For one whole year in the past, she lived in that house."What?" She heard Tabitha asked Jio."Yes! Mom, Dana is here. Come and see, quick!""Auntie," Danielle called Tabitha who seemed to not believe Jio so she was not coming out to see her.In less than two seconds, Tabitha came out from the kitchen. She held her hands over her mouth as tears began falling from her eyes."It's really you, Dana!""I'm sorry to visit only

It had been a week.Danielle hadn't returned to her usual self since coming back from the island. Even if she would deliberately busy herself with loads of work, her mind would drift back to the short-lived happiness she had with Lucas.Why was life so unfair? Just when she thought she would finally get a taste of true happiness, reality would come slapping her in the face.Did Lucas really love her? Why didn't he come to explain to her?'You left, Danielle,' her mind reminded her.Hadn't she left, would Lucas come to her that time to tell her it was her he chooses?But no matter what, the truth didn't change. He didn't try to explain because he chose Olivia.When James learned what happened, her Uncle couldn't help but roll his eyes at her."I already asked Lucas about that woman. He made it clear to me that they were not in a relationship. Oh please, Danielle, why did you leave him again

TMS LXI"What is the meaning of this, Lucas?" Hurt and devastation flashed in Olivia's eyes."Olivia?" Lucas looked confused. And Danielle interpreted that in a negative way.He looked like a boyfriend who was caught cheating with another girl.She felt like the happiness she was feeling just a few minutes ago was replaced by pain. So Lucas and Olivia were together? Her reaction made sense, right? Besides, why would Olivia be there if Lucas didn't bring her with him?"How could you do this to me?" Olivia continued. Tears were streaming down her lovely face. "Did you bring me here for this? What did I ever do to you to deserve this?"

The next thing Danielle knew, it was just her and Lucas standing by the seashore. She found herself staring at her feet which she had already freed from her shoes, enjoying the stroke of shallow waves. “So, this is the kind of life that you grew up with,” Lucas said after a short while of silence. His both hands were inside his pant’s pocket and his gaze was to the vast ocean before them. “If you meant luxury, then, yes. I was born with a golden spoon. Really, I’ve always gotten every material thing I wanted,” she answered, casting him a glance. Before they parted three years ago, they started having calm conversations like this. The most beautiful part was when Lucas said that he already forgave her. She could still remember how they sealed their friendship by shaking their left hands instead of their right hands that were both injured. She remembered the times when she badly wanted to stay with him but had no choice but to leave.

The following day, Danielle got busy sending off the VIPs. She hadn't seen Lucas yet and she wondered in her heart if he forgot that he promised to see her again. Although, she was also somehow thankful for the delay in confrontation."Are you leaving as well?" Danielle frowned at James and Myrna who looked like they're included in the first batch of guests to leave the island."I left loads of work in the office. It's probably piling up now," James answered."Aunt Myrna, why is Uncle so workaholic? And he won't even allow you to stay and relax here for a few days," she complained, hoping Myrna would back her up and then James would decide to stay."You know your Uncle. Work is his life. Let him be. Besides, I
Forgive Me, Mr. CEO Chapter LVIII
The first time Lucas saw Dana, she was lying helplessly on a hospital bed. Tubes were connected to her body and her lower extremities were wrapped heavily in gauze. But he didn't feel an ounce of pity for her. All he wanted to do that time was to kill her with his bare hands.He hated her so much. He saw her as a curse. Yet because of his family, he still helped to keep her secret safe despite her unwillingness to tell him the truth about the accident.Lucas thought that he would never forgive her. But when he spent time with her, his heart opened up for forgiveness. And not only that, he feared losing Dana. That when her past caught up with her because of his wrong decision to bring her to the city, he willingly laid everything he had got just to keep her safe.In the end, his efforts were in vain as Dana decided to protect him instead. As a man who failed, it was a blow to his ego that in reality, what he had was not enough to make Dana trust him and sta
