Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate 25 - Somebody was following Loney
At the shelter, Daniella was helping to serve the needy. She even helped prepare the meals, thanks to Jones, who had coached her from what he learnt from Danica. She was excited about the new task. Jones couldn't help but admire that Danica was gradually being herself again. Daniella put on a smiley face in front of the people, serving with all humility. It was a wonderful sight for Jones who felt that he was falling in love with Danica all over again. He began to think that even if she couldn't recall anything, at least they were still attracted to each other and therefore he could propose to her. He went over to help her with the kids. Together with Daniella, they talked to the children about Jesus and his salvation. They enjoyed seeing the excitement in the eyes of these children, as Jones and Danica gave them parcels that were used clothes with snacks, books and a little Bible, neatly packaged. They made sure to include their contacts for the children to reach them anytime they c

Danica's grip tightened around the mop, her stomach heated up. The sound of Loney's voice made her heart stop. She feared knowing who Loney truly was. She was frozen to the spot. She turned her head to meet his form. Her heart rate increased. His hairy well-sculpted chest, inviting exposed. He was only in his boxers. She quickly looked away. When Loney realized she didn't move, he strode towards her. He placed one hand gently on her shivering one on the doorknob, used his other hand to lift her chin, his eyes bored into hers. Danica felt hot flashes at his touch, she bit her lower lip, her heart thumped. She tried to look away, catching sight of something still red on his hand, then his head. Her heart froze. Worry saturated her, she couldn't tell why. Her voice shook as she spoke, "sorry, I was cleaning the bloodstains. I didn't mean to intrude." Loney's gaze darkened, "that isn't your job. You are supposed to be sleeping," his sounded alluring, Danica felt her muscles tighten. "Y
Last Updated : 2024-10-29Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate 27 - Loney's plan to surprise Danica
Loney woke up a few hours later. Most probably three. It was already morning. Which meant he had slept a bit longer than usual. Most times, three to four hours of sleep was enough for him. But when he came to the mansion, it was either an hour or two. He gently detangled himself from Danica, dressed up in his suit, since he was going to the office and left a note beside her after covering her with a blanket and adjusting the temperature of the air conditioner. Before he turned the doorknob, he took another long glance at her sleeping form on the bed, wondering how he was going to let her go after she got pregnant and delivered the child. He didn't think that he could live without her. Her gentleness, the humility in her tone, her beautiful features were all different from anyone he met. Throughout the time he spent with her, he couldn't feel any pain from his wounds. It was all complete excitement. Just as he descended the stairs, Paul stepped out of his room, amazed to see him in th

Ray couldn't take it anymore and decided to threaten Loney with something so dear. "Let's see you try. That presidential project might just go down," he sarcastically said, while he waited in anticipation of Loney's response. Surprisingly, The line went silent for almost a minute. Ray confirmed he had hit a sour spot in Loney this time. Internally, he gleaned with joy. However, when Loney spoke, he shocked the hell out of him. "I think I have tolerated this nonsense well enough. It's time it comes to a halt. This is your last warning. If anything happens with that contract, be it natural or man-made, it's on you and I will make sure that I kill you with my bare hands, and feed your useless corps to the vultures." Ray froze at the end of the line. He knew that Loney never made ideal threats therefore, without another word, he ended the call. Loney wasn't comforted. This was a big project and he wasn't going to let anything go wrong. Even though he knew his warning had sunk deep, he st

"No. He will never find out. As soon as I have the child, I will relocate. That way, I'm safe and Daniella will also be safe," Danica comforted herself. Regardless, Herty was more prudent this time and said, "Danica, I think you are playing with fire." "I think not. He will never know." Danica was adamant. After all, there was no way Loney would ever find Daniella. For as long as he inferred, she was dead and her death certificate was proof enough. "But what if he does? What if he finds out the truth?" Herty was disturbed as she asked. Danica bit her lower lip in deep thought, "what if he loves her? What happens to me then? He might not even want me to bear his child," she facepalmed the minute the words left her mouth and turned teary but Herty had already seen through her. "Is there more to this Danica? Do you love him? Tell me the truth," her voice was calm. She had never been in such a situation but she couldn't help feeling pity for her friend. "There is just something about

Loney was expectant. He couldn't wait to hear what Danica had to say to him. "Go ahead." Then, he recalled something and said, "Just a minute, I'll be right back." Danica sat back on the sofa while he strode out of the room to the truck and returned, a box in hand. "This is for you. You don't have to go through Paul to speak with me anymore." Even before she opened the box, she could tell by his word that it was a phone. Something tickled inside her. It was more than just appreciation. It was more of a connection. 'Does he feel the same way I feel about him?' She was in a daze. "Thank you," she muttered, her face lit. Her hand shook slightly with excitement, as she took out the phone from the box. This could only mean one thing, that Loney was beginning to trust her. However, Loney noticed her excitement and knew she might be thinking of calling her friend and especially when he recalled them speaking through Dr Jeff's phone with a J word they mentioned which he guessed to be a name,
Last Updated : 2024-10-29Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate 31 - It's very simple, I'm gay.
Loney's attitude was neutral. He didn't speak immediately. Moreover, it wasn't the first time women threw themselves at him but what amazed him was how a high profile man like Governor Maxwell, could shamelessly give in to his daughter's silly demands. He patiently waited for later to continue; "So, I propose that you make this a love union. Both of you are single and that would be perfect. In return, I will keep all those mafias off your back and also give you all the government construction contracts. So what is your stand?" Governor Maxwell sipped on his wine and laid back leisurely knowing he had Loney cornered. The opportunity to walk around without watching over his shoulders had enough appeal. However, he was stunned when Loney spoke; "You flatter me, Governor Maxwell," the corner of his lips curled up as he continued, "and I must confess that your style of achieving your daughter's wish is quite impressive. Unfortunately for you, I'm not afraid of the mafia and I don't go ar
Last Updated : 2024-10-29Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate 32 - Your friend, does she have a boyfriend?
Two days later.At the mansion, Paul was staring at Herty's number on his phone. Anytime he dialled, he ended the call immediately without allowing it to connect. He couldn't think of a reasonable excuse to give her, even though the latter gave him her number. He wasn't ready to follow her to Friday's service and yet, he wanted to see her.Worrying what the outcome may be, he decides to confide in Danica. Perhaps, Danica might give him some interesting information about her. In the kitchen, Danica was making dinner for everyone but Loney's was special. Today, she intended to eat dinner with him. At least, it would convey a message, right?"Hey Danica, what are you cooking?" Paul was stretching his neck to look inside the pot, completely dug up by the aroma."Taco rice with grilled chicken and green chilli salsa," Danica's face lit, the spark evident in her voice. This was her mum's favourite and her dad's favourite was what she was preparing for Loney. Those days, she had to choose bet

"Mum!" "Dad!" "Wake up!" A soft but firm voice kept screaming, matching the knocks vibrating on the door. Loney woke unexpectedly, followed by Danica as the sound grew louder. They didn't have to guess who it was. They slipped into their robe and picked their scattered clothes on the floor, dropping them into a laundry basket before Loney headed to the door. His eyes glistened with tears as he eagerly unlocked the door. Two small hands wrapped around his legs tightly. "Dad! You are back!" Loney knelt to meet his form, pulling him into his arms. The last time he held his son was five years ago when he was just a month old. He had grown. It felt good seeing him physically and not through video calls. He had his mother's brunette hair but his father's facial features. Same grey eyes and thin lips. "I missed you, Lord." "I missed you too, Dad. Will you leave again? I don't want you to go. All the kids at
Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate Epilogue
5 YEARS LATER "Chef Danica, we have a request for a chef's special." Gabriella, one of the waitresses eagerly conveyed to busy Danica. She was doing what she loved, thanks to Loney. Exactly one year after he travelled, he sent her a surprise package containing the keys to a restaurant in her name. Their son was a year old by then and Loney hadn't returned to Mexico therefore, Danica was amazed as to how he was able to put it all together. She couldn't tell if it was something he was working on before his business trip but it was the best gift ever. He gave her the dream of owning her restaurant. In four years, it has risen among the top three restaurants in Mexico City. "Today isn't Friday, Gabriela." Danica continued with the order she was previously working on. She occasionally wiped the beads of sweat forming on her forehead. The kitchen was hot and busy yet she loved it. "I know, but the man insists. He's so authoritative as
Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate 75 - A beautiful family
Herty was terrified. Her stomach pinched in fear. She wasn't expecting her parents to return any time soon but that was the thing about the missionary work. It's so unpredictable. Her mum caught her. Her little rendezvous was about to end. Stationary, when she spoke, Herty thought she had heard wrongly. "What are you doing out there? Bring your boyfriend inside." Paul was equally fascinated and didn't have the chance to speak when the blonde middle-aged woman yanked him in, shutting the door. Well, they were nothing Paul expected. Herty was upfront and told them about Paul's loath for the church, thinking it would make her parents judgemental of him but they were rather polar. They welcomed him to their home because he was the first man their daughter brought. They could see that she was happy and as for Paul, they didn't have to worry. Years of experience in the missionary had taught them that even the stoniest of hearts could melt at the right time. Sunday morning. Herty woke up
Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate 74 - Paul and Herty - Caught?
Herty woke up refreshed from a long sleep. Her body craved it. She too had not slept throughout yesterday. However, joy cruised through her. She had fought it for so long. Paul wasn't the only one who suffered thinking about her. She too has had her fair share of sleepless nights, thinking about him and how impossible their love would be. She knew that her parents would never accept Paul. They want her to marry from the church but she doesn't have to marry him. She can be his friend. A close one and see what the future holds. When the subject of marriage comes in, they would cross over. Just as she came out of the shower, a maid brought her a parcel. "A delivery guy brought this for you." It was unexpected. She has never received anything like this. This was her first time experiencing this part of life. It could only be from one person and she was right. She unwrapped the gift and pulled out a beautiful black knee-length Versace dress. It was beautiful but a little shorter than her
Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate 73 - Jones' unconditional love
A smirk appeared in the corner of Loney's lips. Jones was smart. He was always a step ahead. "I will let her off on one condition." Jones was ready to exchange his life for Daniella's therefore, he said, "I will do anything." "20 years of your life for hers." Loney was deadpanned but Jones's mind was a mist. "I don't understand." Loney stared him in the eyes. "You will work for me for twenty years from now. You are still entitled to all benefits but you don't get to leave or resign till after the 20 years terms." If the mist cleared from Jones's mind, then Loney wanted a longer service from him but what Loney didn't know was, Jones wanted it too. Loney's company was the best. The wages were top of the rank aside from fringe benefits and all. "I will sign a bond to it." Loney's lips thinned. a smile stretching it. He knew the capabilities of his managers and Jones was one of the most outstanding. With people like that, he loved to keep them for a long term and since he has promise
Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate 72 - Let's get married right here and right now
"But, I can't..." Loney's expression darkened. His hopes were crushed. His heart pumped with the speed of an aeroplane. She didn't want him? "You - can't - marry - me?" He let out word by word, his heart shredding. According to the contract, this was where it ended. He had nothing to hold her to. She agreed to be his woman but she didn't want to be his wife. "No, don't overthink this. I mean, I can't let the world know that I'm yours." She wanted him but she feared that whoever ordered her abduction might want to hurt her child. So, she wanted him without the knowledge of the world. It was simple but complex. "Make me understand, Danica" Loney didn't want to hope but he wanted to introduce her to the world as his. He wanted to let go of everything for her. "I want our marriage to be kept secret," she uttered in plain words but Loney was incensed. Could her meeting her Pastor be the reason for taking this decision? "Because you are a Christian and you don't want to be associated w
Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate 71 - Welcome, Lord Hubert
"Take a deep breath and push Danica," Dr Jeff encouraged. Danica gripped Loney's arm tightly, she thought it might rip off. She huddled a long breath and gave a strong push. This was her eighth push so far and she was exhausted. "Just two more, Danica. Two strong pushes. I can see your baby's head already," Dr Jeff continued to encourage her. "I'm tired," she yelped. Loney kissed her sweaty forehead, caressing her bump. He hovered around her, trying to find any way to help. He wished he could help. He desperately did. "Please, do it for me. For our child. I wish I could take the pain from you," Loney pleaded with her. He hated seeing her in pain. It ached him so much that Danica rejected Dr Jeff's suggestion. Danica gripped Loney tightly, another strong push. Then, she took deep breaths. She felt her walls overstretch, she thought it was going to rip apart. The pain was excruciating, she was breathing through her mouth. She was about to push again when Dr Jeff spoke. "Wait! We have
Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate 70 - Being self righteous
The nurse was scared. His behaviour could worsen the patient's condition and the nurse feared being at the receiving end of his anger therefore, she veered to Dr Jeff's office. He would know what to do. He couldn't protect her. He couldn't protect her. He failed. How would she perceive him when she woke up? Regret and confusion washed him as he continued to sob. Paul was trying to understand everything but nothing seemed to make sense to him. Whichever way, he tried to console Loney. "She will be fine. You just have to be there for her." "She will hate me," Loney's tone was bitter. Her sister kidnapped her because of-" "Loney, your surrogate has been inquiring of you. What are you doing here?" Dr Jeff's voice broke through Loney's last words. The nurse had come to inform him that Loney was going nuts because of the accident patient in the emergency ward, which got him startled. He wondered what the patient did to get him so hysterical. Nonetheless, Dr Jeff's words began to sink in
Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate 69 - How dare you touch my woman?
"Please call Loney. He said he would be with me. He promised," Danica said amidst her painful contractions. Dr Jeff nodded, instantly putting a call through to Loney. "Danica is in the hospital," he said as soon as the line connected. Loney pressed the brake instantly and the tyres screeched on the smooth asphalt. He was depressed and agitated when he lost connection with Danica. Probably, her phone must have gone off without her knowledge. Therefore, he had planned on finding Ray and forcing him to call his men to bring Danica to him or verify their location. He should be excited right? But it felt strange. How did Danica get to the hospital? What if it was Daniella pretending? He couldn't keep his mind from thinking in that direction. However, his suspicions were buried when Dr Jeff continued. "She said you promised that you would be with her." A smile thinned Loney's lips just as a tear fell from his eyes. He knew it was Danica sending him the message. This was the promise he made
