2024-10-29 19:42:56"When would Mr. Leith be available then, Mr. Yu?" Danie called Fleur's office but was only able to talk to the owner's right hand man.
"As per his wife, he's still recuperating. But don't worry Dana, once he gets back to work, I'll inform you at once."
"Thanks. I would really appreciate that, Mr. Yu --"
"Wait, wait. I thought I've already made it clear to you. Drop the formalities, okay? Just call me Winston," the arrogant man on the other line said.
"I'm sorry if I keep forgetting, Winston," she answered. The truth was, she wasn't comfortable talking to him. He's way too arrogant. But she didn't have much choice as he's the only person who could help her get an appointment with James Leith.
"When are you going to let me see you? I'm totally in love with your voice. I bet you're d*mn beautiful and sexy-- "
Winston was still blabbering something but Danie's attention was no longer with him. Lucas Del Fierro was standing in front of her table

"Dana, I'm running late. Could you please call Mr. Leith?" Drew called to ask a favor. "Just keep it quiet so the CEO won't know, okay?""You're putting me into trouble. Why do you have to be late today of all days, Drew?" Danie complained but she already grabbed the directory to look up for the number of James Leith."I know, I'm sorry. Emergency at home," Drew seemed to be running. "I'll owe you this one. Got to go."Danie sighed. She was calling Mr. Leith's direct number. Hopefully, he would be the one to answer and not Winston Yu.The phone was not picked up on her first attempt. But she should try again or else, if the Fleur's owner doesn't show up again, Drew would have to explain to Lucas.Fortunately, the call got connected on the second ring.It was the wife of Mr. Leith, she told her to wait because the man was still getting dressed.So, she patiently waited. While waiting, she was doing a final checking of Lucas' schedules

'You can do it, Danielle. Just a little bit more.'Danie kept practicing walking without her crutches. She was determined to walk normally again. She needed to be fit at least or else, how would she be able to run if her life becomes in danger again?She had no one to rely on this time. She didn't have bodyguards to protect her, no drivers to help her escape, most of all, no Jane and Ruth who would help her despite the danger it might bring them.But she wasn't looking for people to sacrifice for her again. Because if there's one thing that she could change in the past, it was causing people to lose their lives because of her."What do you need the address for, Dana?" Ace asked.The next morning, Danie asked Drew for the office address of Fleur Apparel. But Ace heard her request. Knowing that he witnessed what happened to her the other day, Danie could feel that he was somew

Danielle could almost hear her heartbeat. Every time Lucas' fingers would touch her skin, she would feel some sort of electric current flowing through her veins.'What is going on? Why am I feeling this way?'"What were you doing in that place, Dana?" Lucas looked up to her when he was done putting an ointment on her left foot.Although Danie fell on Lucas' body, she still hurt her foot. It was nothing serious, just a bruise. But Lucas insisted they put something to relieve the pain. And that's why when they came back to her unit, he immediately attended to it gently.And that gesture left Danie dumbfounded and confused. Why would Lucas be concern about her?"I don't remember approving any leave of absence. Did you file any?""I wasn't feeling well this morning. I asked Ace and Drew if I can take an afternoon leave," she looked away from his inquisitive gaze. "I was hungry and I wanted to eat in that restaurant."

Danie went too far in thinking that it would just be her and Lucas. Because when they arrived at the restaurant, Ace and Drew were already there.Turned out, Lucas called for a meeting. Worst, he scolded the two men for allowing her to go on leave without informing him. Danielle felt like a silly child causing her two older brothers to get reprimanded by their father."Sir, Dana wasn't feeling well," Ace tried to reason. Of course, he would be the only one who had the guts to reason out. He knew Lucas too well."Does she look like she's not feeling well to you?" Lucas glared at Ace. "Do you know that because you allowed her to go without my permission, she almost got into a serious accident?""I'm sorry, Sir," Ace had to quit reasoning this time. He had no idea of what happened to Dana but since his boss was acting like this, he would just save his questions to Dana herself."Sorry? Can your sorry take a life back from the d

According to the news, Lauro Williams' condition wasn't getting better for the last six months. Doctors attending to the old Billionaire were no longer sure why he stayed comatose despite everything in his body being normal. They're already attributing the unexplained case to his old age.While that could be true, Danielle was still doubtful knowing that one year ago, before Justus went missing and returning like a completely different person, everything was okay with her grandfather's health. If Justus went as far as killing his only niece that he raised, it was not impossible that he also had a hand on his father's sudden cardiac arrest that eventually led to his comatose state.Danie wanted to come out and go back to save her grandfather. But how would she do that?Just now, she had to return to her unit because the security didn't allow her to go out of the building. Apparently, it was Lucas' orders.Did the man ever think of how she's going to

When Danielle was growing up, she focused on her academics more than anything else. But there was a reason why she did that. She wanted attention from Justus and Lauro. They were always very busy with work and neither she nor her achievements successfully got their attention.She was very busy chasing familial love. She never once thought of trying to find love from someone else. She did have suitors. She was Danielle Williams, after all. Even though they knew not of her status as the Williams Group of Companies' sole heiress, she still had that aura of a rich beautiful lady.But she didn't go after the love of someone else, thus, at twenty-five, she never once experienced romantic love. Danie had no idea how it felt like when you're in love with a certain person.One year ago, when she woke up from a coma, she met very loving people. She experienced how it was like to have a family that cares and loves each other even when she was someone who

The next day, Danie received a text from 536 so early in the morning. The workaholic Lucas Del Fierro who said that she must ride to work with him every day wanted her to get prepared by six o'clock.Of course, she couldn't refuse even if she was used to getting up from bed by seven.Danielle had no choice but to drag herself to the bathroom. Lucas said that he would be in the parking lot in thirty minutes. Seemed like she had to practice moving fast every time she needs to be with Lucas.True enough, Lucas was already waiting for her in the basement parking.'Where does this man lives?' Danie thought while approaching the car.She knocked at the passenger seat because Lucas seemed to be very busy with his laptop that he didn't notice her arrival. He unlocked the door for her but barely leaving his eyes on the screen.Danieentered silently, she was scared to distract the man. Although she couldn't help but throw him a glance from

"I'm in the city, do you have time to spare, son?"Lucas looked at his wristwatch. It's almost time to go home. "Of course, Dad. Tell me where you are.""I'm in a restaurant near your office. I'm attending a Minister's meeting tonight so I won't hold you for long."Lucas thought of Dana so he called Ace after talking to his father."I'm going out first to meet my dad. I need you to make sure Dana gets home safely tonight. File it as overtime.""No need, Sir," Ace smiled. "Don't worry, I'll take care of Dana."He dismissed him before his smile turns into a teasing one. Ace wasn't just an employee for Lucas. He was his most trusted friend. And only a few know that. For one, they don't go out together to drink but sometimes, they would sit down and share the gospel with each other.Lucas left his office at once.He did not want to make his father wait. Marcus does not come often to visit him. And even though he w

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
Forgive Me, Mr. CEO Chapter LXIV
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
