TAKEN BY THE CEO CHAPTER 54
To know that there was someone out there who meant something to him broke her heart into tiny pieces. Marcus may have declared how much he wanted her back in his life, but how could she be at peace when she knew that part of his heart still belonged to someone else? She maintained a safe distance while walking beside him on their way back to the hotel. “You don’t have to walk me up to the hotel,” she finally said when Marcus didn’t mention going back to where he was staying. Marcus was dumbfounded when Daniella acted indifferent once again. He believed that they were doing fine during dinner and she even laughed when he told her a corny joke. “Is there something wrong?” He asked her. Daniella nodded her head and said, “I’m fine.” To be honest, she was not fine and her heart was not doing well. Deep within she was hurting but she couldn’t tell him how she truly felt without making herself pitiful. When they were in the hotel, Daniella didn’t bother to bid a proper

“Does that feel good?” He asked and stopped moving. He knew that Daniella didn’t have a man for quite a long time and he could be her last so he didn’t want to hurt her in the process. When he listened to her soft whimpers and moans, he wanted to move as fast as he could to satisfy his hunger…but he couldn’t be greedy just yet. Daniella didn’t want to answer his question but he seemed to wait for it before he would finish what he started. “Y-yes…,” she answered. “Good. I want you to enjoy this, Dani.” He said before he slide one of his fingers down to her clitoris and rub it while he stayed inside her. The rhythm between his fingers matched the movement of his manhood as he thrust into her. Daniella took deep breaths as Marcus continued to take her to greater heights of passion. Her muscles were tensed and she could hardly bear the sensation, then she screamed for his name as she felt that she was almost there. “Faster...,” she begged him to go faster as she didn’t wa

Gerald had no choice but to agree to Lizzy’s terms and moved into her condo unit in Avalon. Since the said condominium was close to Ayala Mall, he didn’t bother to get some of his clothes from Oslob and just bought enough that would last him for at least two weeks. Avalon was a high-end condominium in Cebu Business Park with an excellent power supply. Lizzy spent more than ten million pesos on a two-bedroom unit as her hideout. She told him that nobody in her family knew about the unit and it was her secret place or that was what she believed in. Lizzy already talked with her employer that she couldn’t continue working on the farm for personal reasons and she was lucky that looking for a replacement wasn’t hard. She was in Rustan’s Supermarket with Gerald to buy their food supplies for two weeks. Although there were a lot of restaurants nearby, she couldn’t go to places where she could accidentally meet an acquaintance. “Do you have to wear that wig?” Gerald asked as he loo

Ortega received a call from Samuel that AJ and Vanessa were on their way to Oslob via car and he also booked an air taxi that would take them to Oslob from Bohol. “Lian, please informed Daniella that the air taxi will be here soon to take us home.” He told her after he talked with Samuel Velasquez on the phone. “How soon?” She inquired as she didn’t take a bath yet. She had nothing to wear in Ortega’s room and needed to return to Bohol Beach Club. After teasing him last night, she went to sleep on the couch but Alexander offered her the bed. She accepted while assuming that he would sleep in the couch but the darn man insisted to sleep beside her. They used a pillow as their boundary but in the morning, the pillow was gone and she was resting on his arm. “Less than an hour from now,” he replied. “Then, what are you waiting for? I need to change my clothes, let’s go.” She ordered him to follow her. Alexander just shook his head when Lilian ordered him around like

“Where are we going?” Daniella asked when Marcus told her to follow him outside. After lunch, AJ had to take a nap, and everyone was having siestas as they were accustomed to. “We have to talk,” he said. She agreed as they have a lot of things to be discussed especially when they were already in Oslob. “You said we have to talk, but why are you silent?” She probed why the man didn’t utter a word as they followed the path toward their private beach. “I don’t know if we are on the right track,” Marcus replied. Her heart panicked when he said it. “What do you mean?” Part of her wanted to know the real reason why he said it, and another part of her wanted to ignore his statement and just go on walking. “I was supposed to take you to the vineyard, but it seemed that we’re going to the beach.” He responded but he was surprised when the woman slapped his arm. “Why?” It was stupid of her to assume that Marcus said it in relation to their current situation. “The vin

After dinner, Lizzy listed the basics of the art of seduction. She hated Liza for being a flirt and promiscuous but she had no idea that she could utilize the art of seduction which Liza forced on her. Although it’s a little different as she was taught how to seduce men rather than women, still, the basics were almost the same. Seduction was not just about sex but more about paying attention to a person’s needs and moving gradually while targeting his or her physical desires, and the most important thing was the timing of when to approach. “The last time you saw her, what did you do?” She asked. Gerald was ashamed to admit how he made a fool of himself in front of Daniella and hesitated to tell Lizzy about it, but he had to. “I approached her like a stalker and a maniac,” he admitted to the things he had done that day at Mang Inasal. “Are you still a teenager? How can you do that? You know what, Baldy, I’m going, to be honest with you, but that woman must have been uncomfo

For the first time in two years, Lilian was able to sleep soundly while knowing that Alexander was awake to watch over Vanessa. Whereas Alexander could hardly stay awake while playing with the toddler who was very hype even in the middle of the night. He wanted to complain and woke up Lilian, but his conscience got the better of him, and he was warned beforehand. It was around three in the morning when his child decided to sleep beside her mother and for Alexander, it felt like he received something special. He was grinning as he walked towards the sofa bed that was provided for him to sleep. He didn’t know what time was it but his eyes refused to open when someone stirred him from sleeping. “What?” She snapped at the person who roused him from bed when he was still tired. Did he dare to snap at her? Lilian was not happy that Alexander refused to get up when it was time to prepare her breakfast. She was no longer breastfeeding her daughter but her body was already use

For a month, everything went well with Marcus and Daniella. There was never a time that they argued over something and they were very happy to be with each other, however, Marcus had to go back to Hacienda Velasquez to formally resign from his job. The town of Oslob has become popular because of the whale sharks and he discussed with Daniella a possible business venture that would cater to the unlimited number of tourists coming into their town. They could become partners where he would finance all the costs regarding its development while Daniella would let him use their beach and the vineyard. It was still an idea that has to be considered thoroughly after he resigned from the farm. “You can come with me to the farm and I will introduce you to my friend and his wife,” Marcus invited Daniella to go with him to the farm. “I would love to, but maybe some other time.” She refused because she believed that his friends would be surprised to see her and she didn’t want to i

Daniella was aware that at least three of Ortega’s men were following them from a distance, but she choose to ignore the security people when they were just doing their job. Somehow, she was already used to having a shadow wherever she would go. After her three days vacation on the island, she returned home feeling refreshed and renewed. She and AJ had a blast on the island and she played with her like a kid. “Hello Simon, it’s been a while.” She greeted the youngest of Ortega’s men as if she had no idea that he was also on the island. “Hello Miss Ella, I’ll help you with your luggage.” Simon offered to take her luggage upstairs. Unknown to the woman, Marcus contacted him to watch over his family and he should report everything to him. “Thank you,” she was grateful for his help. As much as she wanted to check on her mother and report to her that they already arrived, she was tired and want to rest. Tomorrow, her life would be back to normal. Occupied with work and str

Daniella had no choice but to stop her heart from beating toward Marcus and she should focus on something else. She must let go of her feelings and move forward because letting her emotions take over would be simply dangerous! In the morning, she woke up with a bright smile on her lips and Lilian looked at her as if she has gone crazy for always smiling when she was nursing a broken heart. At the breakfast table, she informed Paloma that she would take over overseeing the resort’s construction. She took a deep breath and took the chance, to be honest with her family members about another issue and said, “Marcus and I have broken up.” “Ella, what are you talking about?” Paloma was knocked for six at Daniella’s announcement and she refused to believe it when they looked good together. “I said, he and I broke up…and this time it’s for good.” She repeated her statement and she emphasized each word so that her mother wouldn’t misunderstand it. “This time it’s for good?

Daniella bit her lip when Marcus questioned her why she came. Was he not happy to see her at all? Daniella was still seething in anger towards his employer why did he allow that horrible man to beat him in the first place? “Should I consider your question as a sign that you don’t want to see me anymore?” Daniella took offense at his tone but regardless of how he would look at her, she wouldn’t give up on him. She glared at the man who treated her like a pest when she was just being kind to help him. “It’s not what I mean, Dani. I’m just asking why you came here, and how did you know where I was. Wait, did you stalk me?” His nostrils flared and he tightened his lip as he imagined that the woman was probably stalking him. What happened to her statement that she didn’t want him anymore in her life? Marcus narrowed his eyes at Daniella while he waited for her answer. “Of course not! Why should I do that? It just happened that I come here for business and saw you today at the

Troy Ramirez was paranoid that Philip Madrigal would come to his office anytime so he always prepared himself for the old man’s arrival. He picked up the intercom and bellowed, “Is Alicia not here yet?” “She just arrived sir,” the secretary replied. He put down the receiver and waited for Alicia to come in and when he heard the door open, Troy immediately stood to meet her. “What took you so long?” he yelled at the woman for taking her time in coming to his office. Alicia raised her eyebrows at Troy and replied, “I’m not one of your employees so don’t treat me like one.” The woman was right and Troy needed to calm down or his wrecked nerves would get the worst in him and he was afraid of the outcome. “Call your boyfriend and ask him to forgive me, do it now please.” “What have you done to him and where is he?” Alicia suspected that Troy made a mistake in hurting her boyfriend and then he was scared that Marcus would retaliate. She sneered at him and asked,

Daniella didn’t expect to receive a call from Gerald, telling her that Marcus was working for a man named Troy Ramirez, Alicia’s brother. She was having her breakfast at Puso Bistro and she enjoyed their champorado and Arroz Caldo which tasted awesome. It was a buffet breakfast that she got to enjoy for free by staying at one of their suites, and although she couldn’t eat every dishes they offered, she appreciated how the manager was hands-on in checking everything that needed a refill. The hotel was recommended by one of her friends who loved their top-notch services. Arguably, the bistro has become one of her favorite restaurants in the city. Fortunately, Daniella was blessed with good luck because Troy’s office was just beside the hotel where she was staying. She could just check it out later because Daniella needed a concrete plan on how to approach Marcus without aggravating Alicia in the process. It was quarter to ten in the morning when Daniella smiled at the recep

Troy was hopping mad after reading the report about Marcus Madrigal! No wonder that the man looked familiar when he first saw him because he was the same man who took away his angel, and in the end, he had to kill that woman and her daughter to avenge his wrong feeling. He was furious that Alicia assisted his enemy in entering his territory! A few years had already passed and he could still remember the anguish on Veronica’s husband’s face as he witness how his family was killed in front of him. Over the years, it gave him satisfaction while know that the man she chose instead of him was suffering! Did Marcus find out about his involvement in that incident? But how? It was cleanly done and no evidence to point out that he was behind it. Moreover, all the men involved in that incident were already dead and he was the only one who remained to live. Still, he couldn’t be at peace unless he would send Marcus back to hell. He was enraged and Troy believed that Liza could soothe

In her boredom, Daniella developed a new habit and that was bingeing on Korean dramas. She searched online for the must-watch and soon she was lost in the world of Korean dramas where the boyfriends were all perfect and if ever there were flaws, it only make them even more attractive. For a week, she exhausted herself by staying up all night to watch her favorite shows and Lilian already scolded her for looking like a zombie every morning. “Are you going to continue being like this, Ella? You are my matron of honor, so you also have to look your best, but with your appearance now, we have to hire the best make-up artist for you to look pretty.” Lilian eyed the woman from head to toe and grimaced at how dry Daniella’s skin has become, and the dark circle around her eyes was horrible to look at. She looked tired and stressed! “It’s your time to shine on your wedding day, Lil. So, just don’t mind me, okay?” Daniella dissuaded Lilian to mind her appearance because she wasn’t rea

Every day, she had to lie to AJ about the whereabouts of her father. Philip and Paloma also wondered why it was so sudden that Marcus was summoned by his friend to assist in the farm. Just like before, she didn’t tell everyone about the real reason why Marcus was no longer in the house. She lied that Samuel Velasquez needed an extra farmhand as his supervisor had to take a few days off due to an emergency. The lie was perfectly devised and Daniella almost believed it as well. Even if Marcus was no longer in the house, Philip Madrigal has all the reasons to stay since his only daughter was getting married. Lilian was enthusiastic about the wedding and even when they hired the best wedding coordinator that they could find, Lilian insisted on incorporating her personal touch into the giveaways, so at night, she and Lilian would usually work overtime to finish the giveaways on schedule. Although it was a bother to work on super glues, she didn’t mind it all. It kept her occupied, and

Alicia’s excitement got the better of her when she immediately signed the papers without reading them first. Her signature was already on the paper before she decided to read what was written on it. Her eyes blinked several times when she finished reading it. “I’m your girlfriend but I can’t kiss you or touch you, especially in public? This is pure nonsense!” Alicia threw the signed agreement back to Marcus and cursed at the man for tricking her by writing that information in the middle. “Now that it is signed, how are we going to proceed with it?” Marcus smiled that he was able to trick Alicia into signing the agreement. It wasn’t his fault that she didn’t read what was written on it. Alicia glared at him but he chose to ignore it. “Just think of it as my retaliation for ruining my life, Alicia.” “I have no idea that you can be so cruel, Marcus,” Alicia muttered a curse, however, she thought that there must be a way of getting out of it. “How much would it cost me to break o
