Loney jolted, his head lifted and his gaze caught the figure lying on the floor at the door. A freezing air blew around him, he froze. An emotion muffled with fear and blinded by anxiety massaged him. It felt strange, too strange. What just happened? The clothes scattered on the floor were Danica's. The woman lying beneath him almost drifting to sleep was Danica so what was Daniella doing on the floor in front of his door.

He was about to say something when his eyes caught sight of Danica's bracelet. Now everything hits home. The woman beneath him was Daniella and the love of his life passed out in shock. No, this can't be happening. His eyes were still glued to the figure at the door as he lifted himself. His hand pulled a towel robe which he slipped on as he ambled close to the figure.

Something died inside him at the realization. His knees shook with every step he took as he knelt before her. A loud growl tore from his throat. "ARRRRRRRRHHHHHH, NOOOOOOOOOOO."

It was so loud it sh

my mind is all over the place, what if Daniella falls pregnant? I hope Loney gives him an abortion pill! I hope Danica don't forgive her and kicks her out... Blood or not

So sad, I was hoping nothing happened between Daniella and Loney. Like Danica was able to catch them right on time to prevent the scene. It hurts

    Suddenly, he felt a movement on his face. Something soft, it wasn't the tears constantly washing his face. It was rather wiping his tears. A soft hand was wiping his tears. It can't be Danica so who could it be? He turned swiftly and his gaze met hers. No, she must be dreaming. It's practically impossible. Danica continued to wipe the tears from his face without uttering a word. She realized that Loney's was looking everywhere without having eye contact with her. She recalled vividly what she saw a few hours ago. It seemed like a nightmare but it was real. Her mind was in a mess. Her emotions in a lake. Yet, her heart ached to see him cry like that. "I swear Danica, I thought it was you. I texted you about two hours before I set off that I was coming home and when I got to the garage, I texted you again that I had arrived so I thought you were the one in the kitchen." Loney's words were soaked in heavy tears. He had cried so much, his voice sounded husky and breathless. Danica recall

  • Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate   59 - It's so strange that you forgive so easily.

    She was about to get up when Loney grabbed her hand. "No, let Mabel do it." He needed her by his side. He needed her warmth. She was different but that was what made her special. He was so drawn to her that he was ready to give her anything including his life. "Fine." Danica didn't argue. She didn't see it necessary at a time like this. She couldn't tell him about the half-done food she left in Daniella's care. Well, thinking about it, after all that had happened, she would rather discard the whole utensil when she goes to the kitchen. Daniella was worse than she thought and even she has begun to fear her blood sister. Meanwhile, Loney was a bit sceptical about Danica's abrupt response. He expected her to persist like she used to."Danica, is everything alright?" He suddenly asked. "Yes, why?" She asked in the same abrupt way. Loney swallowed. "It's so strange that you forgive so easily. I wouldn't have forgiven you if I were in your shoes." His eyes were dark when he spoke, Danica k

  • Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate   60 - Danica, I hope you'll never leave me

    "The car is ready, let's go," Paul's baritone voice sounded around them. All eyes turned to Danica. They were waiting for her final approval. Silence descended like snow. Not even the sound of a maid moving about was heard. Daniella stared desperately at her sister. She couldn't believe that she lost everything. Her sister had Loney and she was going to have his child. Something that Daniella would never have. If only she could have Danica's child and Loney, then her life would be perfect. "You can have all the money in my bank account. Goodbye, Daniella." Danica gave her final verdict and didn't wait for another oration. She turned around and headed back to Loney's room. Tears froze on Daniella's face. Her sister gave up on her. She would make her pay. She would regret giving her the money. Without a word, she turned around and followed Paul. Loney made one of the maids bring their food to his room. For the first time, he felt safe and light. Before the maid passed him with the tra

    "Hahaha...that's funny. Well, since you love and care about her so much, just let her know that I left her a little gift." Whatever she left, Jones perceived it would be terrible. Therefore, he took out his phone and called Herty since he couldn't call Danica directly, which gave Daniella the chance to rush out without looking back. Jones wanted to go after her but also had to make sure that Danica was safe therefore, he let her go and walked back to his car. After he informed Herty, he drove home with a heavy heart. Herty instantly called Paul to inform him about what Jones had said. She didn't want to frighten Danica. Thus, when Paul got to the mansion, he searched through Daniella's room but found nothing. He also checked through Danica's room but found nothing. He checked the CCTV footage with nothing suspicious. Perhaps Daniella was pranking them but that didn't restrain him from informing Loney via text message. ****** Daniella went to the club to meet her old friend, Joana.

    Loney knew without a doubt that this was Daniella's gift. He made a call to Paul to inform him about everything and instructed that all furniture be changed and all Danica's clothes including those Loney purchased for the unborn child be discarded. However, he couldn't bring himself to tell Danica yet, even though the look on her face showed she suspected he was hiding something. Doctor Jeff had excused them, reading from Loney's body language that he wanted to be alone. "We shouldn't be keeping secrets right? Tell me." It wasn't a question. It was a demand from Danica. "Your sister sent a message through Jones that she left you a little gift." Loney didn't try to massage it. He needed Danica to understand the severity of her sister's evil ways. Danica's heart broke. "why does she hate me so much?" Her soft words made Loney's heart sink. He hated to see her that way. "Forget about her okay. I will take you to a hotel for now. We have to dispose of all clothes and clean the house we

    "Where have you been getting all the money you've been paying me?" Daniella saw no reason to hide it from Ray. "From my sister. She has a rich boyfriend." Ray nodded his head. He contemplated on whether or not to let Loney in on Daniella's answer but what good would it be? Loney hasn't requested any more information about Daniella from the last time and after all, she was getting the money from her sister. That wasn't something to poke Ray's interest. "And you want her dead, take her baby and her man by pretending to be her?" Daniella nodded her head. Ray shook his head this time. "You are evil, Daniella. But I like it. We both make a great team." Daniella was displeased but she didn't show it. Loney didn't like an evil woman and she wanted to be good for him. She determined that this would be the last sacrifice and then, she would be good. "Turn around." Daniella jolted at the instruction from the deep husky voice. Confusion clouded her but she obeyed. She felt two fingers shove i

  • Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate   64 - Loney isn't easily fooled.

    "Give birth to the child. I will run a paternity test and if it's positive, then we can talk." This wasn't what Daniella expected. Why did Loney have to be so clever? But she wasn't ready to give up. She needed money. After paying Ray the part payment, she doesn't have much left. Besides, she would need more money to keep up this game so she said, "Before then, a pregnant woman needs care and a good home. What about that?" Her voice sounded casual. However, Loney was not a fool and wasn't one to typically mess with. Not after what those surrogates did to him when he desperately needed a child. However, he was a responsible man who would take responsibility for his action but something inside him told him that whatever Daniella might be carrying in her womb, whether a cow or goat, wasn't his. "I will not take responsibility until I confirm that the child is mine, which I seriously doubt," he sounded curt and unfeeling, his expression blank. Daniella had to think fast. From what Rosa

  • Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate   65 - Jones knows everything

    FIVE MONTHS LATER Danica was heavy. Doctor Jeff had confirmed that they should be expecting a baby boy in two weeks. It was exciting. Her bump was now large but it never prevented Loney from getting intimate with her, especially after Doctor Jeff confirmed that it won't pose any health problems for as long as Danica found it comfortable. Therefore, Loney found better sex positions that were comfortable for both of them. Thus, it helped Danica to be more relaxed and sleep better at night since she developed lower back pains due to the pregnancy, which was normal. Loney found ways of soothing her pains. Not a day passed without a smile on Danica's face because Loney was all over her, with everything he got to spend with her. Once he arrived, Mabel knew her job of taking care of Danica had ended. Still, Loney remained true to his word, sending Daniella $10.000 every month for her upkeep, even though he felt sure that the child she carried in her womb wasn't his. Unfortunately, he hadn'

    "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

    "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

    "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

    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

    "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
