"4/5"
Chapter 52 Ella laughed when she saw Daniel enter her office like a whirlwind. She laughed in her head before she continued to entertain a few people. Knowing that the man was getting impatient, Ella excused herself before she entered the office. She looked at her watch and realized that it was almost time for lunch. She instructed her secretary to block anyone who would be looking for her, by saying that she had gone out for lunch. Ella had just opened the door when a hand pulled her inside. She almost screamed as she fell into a firm chest. Daniel hugged her with one hand, and used the other free hand to lock the door from the inside. He took the files from Ella’s hands and tossed them on the floor before he lifted Ella in his arms. Ella wrapped her arms around the man’s neck and her legs glided around his waist. She searched for the man’s lips before she started to kiss him hungrily. Daniel carried her and laid her on her office table. He had already cleared the table as he di
Chapter 53 Cathy scoffed and left Tony’s office. She went to the bathroom and called her mother. “Hey, darling, have you found Daniel?” “No Mom, his assistant was just giving me attitude. He did not tell me anything important.” “Why would Daniel do that to you? I thought that he already knew how you feel about him. What is the meaning of him canceling the lunch date without even giving you a heads-up?” “I don’t know, Mom. You have no idea how mean he was to me today. I just tried to help with his shirt and he looked at me with disgust, as if I was some dirty, annoying fly. That is something that has never happened before.” “I think that he needs to be taught a lesson. Have you spoken to your father about it?” “Not yet!” Cathy said. “Mom, do you think that Daniel has a girlfriend?” “No way. No one has been by his side since his grandfather died. I think that he is just playing hard to get. Maybe he just wants more benefits from us, and that is why he is pretending not to like y
Chapter 54 Cathy felt as if someone had just splashed ice-cold water all over her body, when she heard Daniel’s question. ‘Who are you?’ Did Daniel just ask her that question? What was wrong with this man? How could he not know her when they had dinner several times, and she always sat next to him in every board meeting? In fact, she was the only woman who had been close to Daniel for the past years since his grandpa’s passing. She had been parading herself as Daniel’s best friend, and the only woman who could get near him. She actually thought that their relationship was special and Daniel felt something towards her. That was because over the years, although Daniel had not shown any obvious sign that he was interested in her, he had not rejected her outright like he was doing right now. Cathy opened and closed her mouth like a fish that had been taken out of the water. Even after a long time, she could not utter a single word. She was trembling all over and her face had turned
Chapter 55 Ella had just finished packing her small handbag when her phone rang. She immediately picked up the call after hearing the special ringtone. She also realized that she needed to change it since she was not sure how Daniel would feel when he heard it. She had set that special ringtone for him in a fit of anger, and hearing it now made her want to puke. “Hey, what’s up? Have you already picked up the kids from school?” “Yes. Are you done with work?” “Yes, I was just about to leave. What do you guys want to eat for dinner? I will pass by the supermarket and get some ingredients.” “Just come home, all right. We have a surprise for you.” “Oh, a surprise? What is it?” “It won’t be a surprise if I tell you.” Ella left the office with a smile hanging on her face. She could not wait to be home and see the surprise that had been prepared for her. After staying alone with the kids for too long, this was the first time someone was waiting for her at home with a surprise. Ell
Chapter 56 At the Muller mansion, it has been two days since Cathy’s confrontation with Daniel. The moment she arrived home, she locked herself in her room and she hadn’t seen the light of day for two days. She chased away all her maids, and she was not even willing to see her parents. When Mr. Muller returned home in the evening, he found his wife brooding on the sofa, with a worried expression on her face. “Lily, what is wrong? Cathy hasn’t left her room again?” Mister Muller asked as he approached his wife. “Yes, darling. She has not eaten for two whole days and I am so worried about her. Hearing her muffled cries really breaks my heart.” “What are we supposed to do? I did not think that it would affect her that much.” “I also never expected that Daniel would be that ruthless. Why has he been giving our daughter false hopes all these years? Now look at how heartbroken she is.” “Have you found out anything?” Lily asked as she looked at her husband. She knew that Daniel would
Hey guys, I hope you are doing great. I have been thinking about it and I thought that I should be honest with my lovely readers. I know that one chapter a day is not enough and I feel so sorry about that. But the problem is, I just found out that I am pregnant the end of last month. It is my first pregnancy and my body has lots of complication, so it is very risky. That is why I have been able to get only one chapter done, and very late at that. I don't want to use that as an excuse for my inconsistence in publishing more chapters. All I am asking is your understanding as I try to understand this new chapter of my life. But I will be posting daily even if it is just one chapter. I hope that y'all understand. Lots of love, Dinnah
Chapter 57 Cathy showered at lightning speed. She was eager to know what her father had found out that she did not even dry her body before coming out of the bathroom. She did not care how wet her body was as she hastily put on her pajamas. “Hey, take your time. Just look at how wet your hair is. You might catch a cold if you don’t dry it. Quickly sit down, and let me help you dry it.” her mother said as she approached her. She took a towel from the closet before she started drying Cathy’s hair. “Mom, quick, tell me. What did Daddy find out?” “Err...?” Cathy could not take her mother’s hesitation anymore. She took the towel from her hands and threw it on the ground. She stood up and faced her mother, “You promised that as long as it is something that I want, I will always get it. You said that as long as I work my ass off, Daniel would see my efforts. It has been five years already, but what have I gained in the end?” “Hey, darling, calm down, okay? I will tell you everything.”
Chapter 58 One month later, after Cathy figured out that Ella was back in the country, and Daniel was pursuing her once again; In the Muller mansion, Cathy was trimming her nails as she happily hummed an unknown tune. When Lily entered the house, she was stunned to find her daughter in the living room. Ever since that incident, Cathy would either be out or she will be locked up in her room for the whole day. But today, she was actually trimming her nails and she seemed to be in a good mood. What exactly happened to her? Lily approached her daughter and sat down beside her, “Hey you, it has been almost a month since I have seen you this happy. What happened to you?” Cathy looked at her mother and revealed her white teeth. She smiled in delight as she hugged her mother’s arm, “Hey Mommy, have you finished having fun with the ladies?” “Oh yeah. I was worried about you so I decided to leave early. But it seems like I was worried for nothing.” “Mom, I am fine. Sorry for making you a

Chapter 114 (Last Chapter) They could not believe that she came from such a powerful family and that she had not used her background to make a name for herself in the Showbiz. Those who had laughed at her and made fun of her background, even coming here to specifically embarrass her felt their faces burn. They were so abashed that they wished they could just disappear in an instant. Although Daniel and Ella were not involved in the entertainment, their names were known all over the business world. Just a word from them and they could end their lives in an instant. They were so glad yet fearful that Clarissa had not used her family influence ever since she joined Showbiz, or else they could not have known how they died. Clarissa looked at her brothers and sister and continued the introduction, “My siblings’ identities are very sensitive due to the nature of their jobs, so they cannot reveal their faces or names to the public. But they are glad that there are so many people today to
Chapter 113 Since Clarissa had decided to go all out, she had invited her friends from Showbiz. A few of them knew of her real identity and they could not miss the opportunity to associate with the rich. The moment six o’clock hit, the gates to the first Diamond Hotel were opened and luxury cars entered one after another. When the fans and the reporters saw that, although it was just a birthday banquet, they felt as if they were here to attend some award ceremony. They were so excited that they could not stop screaming. One celebrity after another descended the luxury cars. Others had their managers and assistants with them while others were on their own. Seeing that even those from the rival companies had come, the fans and reporters were stunned. Was this really a normal birthday banquet, because the lineup on the red carpet, was one of a kind. The fans were screaming once in a while every moment they saw someone they liked. But all their focus was on the gate, waiting for th
Chapter 112 Their eighteenth birthday arrived in no time. Caleb, Castor, Clare, and Carl had all returned to the country. Castro was preparing to take over his mother’s position as the CEO of Diamond Real Estate Investment because Daniel could still hold his forte for a while at Edmond and Co. Caleb and Clare were rising in ranks because of their brilliant performance while Carl was still a ‘high school teacher.’ Clarissa was now a top-tier model and her fan base had over a billion fans. Everyone was curious about her mysterious background but she remained tight-lipped. Diamond Real Estate has expanded over the years and now it owns several hotels in the city. The quintuplet's eighteenth birthday was being held in the first hotel that Ella bought since it held precious memories for her and her family. The preparations began one week earlier. Every time Ella thought about how her kids were finally going to leave her care, and become independent, although they had never needed her f
Chapter 111 Outside the beautifully decorated garden, a huge table was placed in the middle and all kinds of dishes were arranged there. Seeing the kids appear, Jane stood up and helped Ella with the seating arrangement. The men sat down watching their wives busy around as they sipped their beers. Paul looked at the all-grown kids and he could not help but feel emotional. He said in a hoarse voice, “I can’t believe that time has moved so fast. I still remember the first time I held those rascals in my arms. It feels like yesterday, they are almost eighteen.” Daniel looked at his kids and his expression was filled with love and gentleness. Only if he had not been an ass back then, he would not have missed such a great moment. Every time he thought about how another man had experienced what was supposed his, although he was not in a romantic relationship with his wife, he always felt jealous. But he was glad that Ella had given him another princess whom he had spoiled to the exten
Chapter 110 Carl and the rest had returned to their rooms, and they were getting ready to start the Christmas celebrations. Clare looked at Carl and Caleb and revealed a worried expression. She asked in a small voice, “Have you guys noticed something weird about Castro? His expression before he left was like that of someone who had lost his wife.” Caleb nodded when he heard Clare. “I noticed too, the moment I saw him. When I asked him about it, he was not willing to say anything.” Carl looked at them with a calm expression, “He is going through a heartbreak. But he will be okay.” Both Caleb and Clare were stunned when they heard Carl. They shouted in unison, “What?” They knew that Castro loved Samantha and they had all encouraged him to pursue her. Samantha had finally accepted him and if he was heartbroken, then there was only one possibility, Samantha had ditched their brother. They did not believe for a moment that it was their brother’s fault. They knew how much he loved Sam
Chapter 109 At seven o’clock, Ella’s guests arrived one after another. She was standing at the door, welcoming them with a sweet smile on her never-aging face. Jane looked at her best friend and smiled happily. She moved closer and hugged her, “I have not seen you in a few weeks and you have become even more beautiful?” “You are the one who has become more beautiful. Seems like Paul has been treating you really well.” After the two ladies hugged, Ella saw a beautiful girl standing behind Jane. She was tall and her beautiful hair cascaded down her shoulders, all the way to her narrow waist. If you looked at her closely, you would realize that she had a striking resemblance to Jane. Ella was stunned when she saw Samantha. She thought she was hallucinating and she only came back to her senses when Samantha called out to her. “Auntie Ella, long time.” Ella opened her arms and hugged Samantha tightly, her eyes turning a little red. She was so emotional as she hugged the all-grown wo
Chapter 108 Carl’s heart trembled when he heard his father’s laugh. It was full of meaning and he even thought for a second that his father had found out about his secret identity. He was about to say something when his father spoke to him, “Come with me.” As Daniel said that, he stood up and walked towards the stairs. Carl hesitated for a moment before he followed his father. Daniel walked to his study room without looking back. Before he closed the door, he heard footsteps from behind. “Have a seat.” Carl was apprehensive as he looked at his father’s calm expression but he still sat down in the end. Daniel did not beat around the bush and immediately went to the main point, “Was your hunting tonight successful?” Carl could no longer hide the shock on his face. His father was looking at him, taking in all his expressions. Carl’s voice trembled slightly when he opened his mouth to speak, “How did you…” “You are my son. How could I not know?” Carl was startled. He thought his
Chapter 107 After dinner, the family of eight sat in front of the fireplace, watching TV. December was filled with cold air and Ella was huddled in Daniel’s arms, as she asked her kids about their experience in the army, and Carl’s life abroad. She looked at her daughter who had become beautiful, and then at her two sons who had become manly, that they could make a girl’s heart race and her gaze became emotional. “Was life too hard in the army?” Clare, Caleb, and Carl looked at their mother before they shared a glance. Clare cleared her throat and stated, “I won’t lie to you. It was tough and very exhausting at first. I even thought of coming back but I did not want to embarrass you and Dad, so I just had to grit my teeth and bear through it.” Caleb picked up from where Clare left and he continued to narrate, “We were placed in different training camps and we rarely saw each other. But when we did, Clare and I were still undergoing our training while Carl had already become a hi
