Broken Heart
Last Updated:
2022-10-04 04:49:00"What?" Ericka replied, her forehead knitting. It was obvious that she was starting to get annoyed at him. However, deep within her was a broken heart.
Is this man seriously looking at her as though he is hurt with her words or is he just playing with her emotions to play along with this pretend marriage?
"You are lucky, I can still control myself," the man replied, which made her raise one of her eyebrows. What is this man talking about? He is like someone threatening her and for what exactly?
Just as blood started to rise to her head, she couldn't help but taunt him.
"Why? Are you planning to do something?" she asked, retorting his statement. She wanted to let out all the frustrations building up inside of her.
"I'm sure, you are not going to like it," Shawn replied and immediately made her stop. The thought of her daughter suddenly flashed through her head as

Truth be told, he was only fantasizing about this in their younger years but now, they're already engaged with one another."Soon, Dude," he replied afterwards.His fianceé Ericka might seem to dislike the idea of marriage between the two of them right now but he knows he can persuade her enough that she'll slowly open her heart to him."What a gaping smile you have there, do you like her?" Nick asked, which made him stop for a moment.His question was so sudden that he didn't know how to reply. However, his face says it all even if he doesn't directly tell him."I know that smile you got there, Dude. There's no use staying silent," his friend teased before his eyebrows raised up and down. "Did you just come from his office?" Nick added, after a while, pointing towards his disappearance earlier."Yes, I did," Shawn shortly replied. He leane

"Yes, you did. I've always remembered it since we've been friends since we were in elementary school. You were only a few years older than her," Nick reminded him, which made him knit his forehead."Excuse me, Dude. We're only a year older than her," he corrected, which made his friend pause for a second and bursted out laughing. He can sense how Shawn tried to emphasize on the age gap pertaining that they were not that old from the woman he loves."Whatever, I only saw photos of her before," Nick retorted after a long while and then shrugged his shoulders. "I'm sure, she'll be more beautiful now," he added, which made him smile."Yes, she is indeed," he replied, the genuine smile flashing through his lips was an obvious indication of his infatuation over her.Just as they were having a good conversation talking about Ericka, the door suddenly swung open after three knocks and a person came in

"Caroline Sandoval. I picked this woman named Caroline Sandoval," she said, pointing towards one of the resumes on top of her desk.Mr. Gaston then just nodded his head upon getting the woman's name before saying, "Alright, I'll send an approved email. May I ask when you want her to start?" he added, lifting his gaze to look at her."She'll be starting tomorrow. Please let her know that the company wants her early by seven o'clock," Ericka explained before leaning her back on the backrest of her swivel chair."Alright, I'll inform her," the old man replied to which she just nodded her head."Yes, thank you, Mr. Gaston," she said afterwards and quickly stood up from her desk. The day had already passed and it was nearing night time when she decided to stare for a second at the gaping scenery of sunset from her window."Anyway, I'll be going home now," she added before

Just as she entered her room to take a short break, she quickly went to the couch and rested her body.She still couldn't stop thinking about the conversation she had with her nanny as she stretched her arms into the thin air.Since she only has two hours left to prepare herself for the gala, she managed to stand up on her two feet and walk towards the closet.Furnished with formal attires, casual wears and those granted for parties, it took Ericka a handful of thirty minutes to decide what to wear and what to match her outfit with."This is bothersome," she whispered to herself after exhaling a sharp sigh. Afterwards, she found herself taking a short shower to cleanse herself of the sweat and immediately continued with a few of her daily retouches.Just as she found herself strapped with only a towel in her body, she stared at herself for a second.

"Why couldn't I see the excitement on your face, the way your eyes would light up whenever Shawn would visit you to pick you up? Did something happen? Do you love someone new?" she asked one after the other.Each and every question managed to hit her right in the chest. It was sad, lonely and maddening but it would just be a waste of time to console over and over again.Ericka took a deep breath before staring right through the worried eyes of her nanny."You're just thinking too much, Nanny. Ee grow up and mature over time, those kinds of small gestures will change," she explained, a bitter smile forming onto her lips. She can tell that those were all lies that she has to digest herself. "Sometimes, we just need to move on and face another chapter of our lives," she added.The old woman then frowned. It seems that she was skeptical of every word that escaped her mouth."Wh

Ericka fished out her phone from the inside of her purse. However, just before she could answer the call, it already ended right in front of her.She then decided to unlock her device before navigating through the phone call history, when the registered number flashing her face brought surprise in her system.Slowly, she frowned at the familiarity of the contact."What's wrong?" The reaction on her face did not escape Shawn as he shifted his view to her and the road."It's nothing," Ericka responded immediately and started fidgeting on her phone. It looks like something came up that made her act abruptly."Why are you looking like that? Did something happen to your daughter?" Shawn asked one after the other, concerned at the sudden expression she was showing."It's none of your business," she responded, which made the man knit his fore

"Make sure to stop crying when you're ready, alright? Please calm yourself. Auntie Nimfa is going to sleep beside you so you'll be secured," Ericka added, her face slightly flushed red from her self-consciousness."Alright, Mom. Please tell Auntie Nimfa about it," her child said. Truth be told, her baby was a brave young girl who can understand her fully.Even with her young mind, she is able to stop herself from crying as long as she is told to do so. She is also an optimistic girl with a promising future ahead of her."Baby, can you please give back the phone to Auntie Nimfa? I'll tell her to sleep beside you," Ericka explained, which made her daughter nod her head and reluctantly give the phone back to Nimfa.Meanwhile, it took several attempts to persuade her child before she finally calmed down completely. She even bid her baby goodnight before she was finally able to rest comfortably thro

"No, not really," Ericka said, shaking her head. "The name is only familiar since a friend of mine knows him," she added, explaining the idea in her head.Meanwhile, Shawn started to look eased. It seems that he was immediately tensed at the mere mention that Ericka could have known another man aside from him."Wow, I didn't think that my brother was that famous," Nick replied, chuckling to himself. "Well, I'm only hoping that that friend of yours is no other than a woman," he added, shaking his head from the side, a smile hinting away from his lips.Since Shawn had been idly standing as his best friend and fianceé talking among themselves in front of him, he was starting to lose his patience.His eyebrows twitched while staring at the two hard before he finally spoke."Guys, do you mind if we get inside?" Shawn said after a long while. He had been meanin

Though Nick and her only visited her niece the day before, along with Nicki, she was still worried.She was in the middle of driving to the hospital when her phone suddenly ranh. She parked on the side of the road with an emergency flickering sign light. Afterwards, she immediately swiped the answer button on the screen when she saw it was Ericka."Hello, Ms. Ericka," she greeted."Carol, can you just call me Ericka?

The CEO'S Secret Daughter Stood up
Nick immediately stood up when he saw his brother. He knew that Nicki was angry as he could see it in his facial expressions. He immediately went and stopped his brother midway."Bro, Rica is fine,” he whispered, which instantly made Nicki calm down a bit."Tell me what happened?" he asked in a firm tone.Nick narrated what he heard from the elderly woman, but he didn’t know how he related it to Shawn and Ericka.After everything was fine and Rica’s condition was already stable, they decided to go to the nearest restaurant for lunch. After giving their order, Shawn looked at Nick, and he knew what it meant."Well, Carol and I are in a relationship. Besides, you also need to know that she is Rica's Aunty, Carol. Coraline Sandoval is the eldest sister of Carolina Imperial," he explained hastily, giving shock to the couple in front of them."Really…?" Ericka and Shawn replied in unison."Yes…" With that, he narrated everything to them, including the letters."One more thing, Rica’s biolo
The CEO'S Secret Daughter Sitting
They were all sitting in the living room with a bottle of vodka on the top of the center table."Here, read the letter that Caroline gave to you…” Nicki said and handed the paper to Nick while he was putting the stainless bucket on the table that was filled with ice cubes."Should I read it now?" Nick asked with doubt and hesitation as he was holding the rough textured paper between his fingers."Yes, I advised you too, so you can know about the truth,” Nicki said blandly.She could see that there's something serious written on the letter that Carolina had left for the brothers. It was evident based on Nicki's gesture and his blunt reply to Nick."I'm sure the last time we met, you were shocked as to why I left without telling you," Nicki said to her while pouring her glass with vodka."Oh, yes, regarding that, I am really surprised. I thought you were just in a hurry, or an emergency occurred," she replied."No, when you told me about your boyfriend coming, and I saw that it was my b
The CEO'S Secret Daughter Surprised
Carol was surprised when Nick suddenly hugged her as soon as he got inside their house. On the usual days, once he got home, he would open the door by himself. However, tonight was different. He rang the bell, making her open the door for him as she thought that there was a delivery or an unexpected guest.It didn’t occur to her that it might be Nick as she was aware that he went to have dinner with his brother and her employers. He never texted her earlier that he won’t be eating at home because they would be meeting at a restaurant."Babe are you alright?" she couldn’t help but ask with confusion because of his gesture."Yes, Babe. I'm fine. I just couldn't help but be happy after meeting them. One more thing, there's something I need to tell you," Nick uttered in such a manner that he seemed to be too excited to tell her something.Suddenly, she remembered that he promised to tell her something about his secret after he had a meeting with her employer and his brother."Is it about
The CEO'S Secret Daughter Carol
Carol swallowed a lump in her throat as a ridiculous idea ran through her head. She couldn't believe that she thought that Nick would do that to his deceased girlfriend. She could see how kind Nick was. Unless, of course, if he was only pretending and hiding his true colors."I'm scared…" she murmured. It was already too late before she realized that she had voiced those words."I'm sorry. I have no intentions of scaring you. I promise you… Once I'm done talking with Shawn and Ericka, and when everything turns out to be fine, I will introduce you to my family. I know that they’ll be happy to meet you." After hearing his words and the name of her employer from his mouth, she couldn’t help but feel relieved."Mr Shawn and Ms Ericka?" she asked."Yes, there's something I need to settle with them. I hope that once you find out everything about me, you will listen to the entire story first before judging me. I promise you that I’m not a bad person which is why I don’t understand why Carol
The CEO'S Secret Daughter Confused
He felt confused, and his heart felt heavy. Every question he had in his mind was answered after he heard his brother's confession. All this time, the girl's voice he heard on the other line of the phone was his daughter.The longing he felt for his daughter was soon to be filled. Out of excitement, he immediately hugged his brother. Though Carol didn't tell him about his daughter, she did well by handing the custody of their child to Ericka and Shawn."Yes, bro. I know them well. Carol has something to give you; she asked Ericka to give it to you before she died," he said before he distanced himself from hugging his brother."For me…" Nicki asked with a smile plastered on his lips."Yes, for you…" Nick affirmed after they heard the sounds of the knocking, making them look at the door, which suddenly opened. Looking, they found that it was their parents."Mom… Dad…" they said in unison and immediately embraced each of them."What's going on here? Are you both crying?" Their mother ask

After the meeting with Shawn, Nick went to their ancestral home where Nicki was staying.As soon as he parked his car, he saw their butler coming out from the main door. He immediately got out of the car and greeted the elderly woman."Hello, Aunty Amy…""Sir. Nick," the elder woman replied back."How's everything, how's my brother?" he asked.Amy smiled at him and replied, "He's doing fine. I just served his breakfast.""Where is he?""He's in his bedroom," the butler replied."Thank you, Aunty," he mumbled and went inside the house. From there he went straight to the staircase, heading to his brother's bedroom. He took a deep breath before he knocked on the door three times and waited for his brother's response, but he got nothing. He held the doorknob and twisted it before he pushed the door to open.He saw that the bed was empty, and the sounds of the running water echoed from the bathroom. He headed to the bed and sat there at the edge. He decided to wait for his brother to come

"Shawn, I'm just testing you. The truth is that the birthmark I was asking for was here behind your ear," Grandma Mila said as she touched the small mole that was behind his ear. If he purposely looked for it, they could see it."Oh, Grandma…" Shawn mumbled and hugged the old woman tight."Tell me, Mr. Grey, if I'm not mistaken, there's embroidery name, Shawn, in his shirt and shorts when you found him?" Grandma asked, looking at Mr. Grey."Yes, Mrs. Mila. There is,” he admitted."You see, I wasn't mistaken. You are my grandson. I'm just checking on you earlier." Grandma giggled.They stayed there until lunchtime, and the old woman cooked a dish that was Shawn's late father's favorite dish."This is one of your father's favorite dishes, steam fish with mayonnaise sauce.""Shawn's favorite is seafood, anything that's seafood. He likes it. Either you cook it with sauce, fried or grilled." Mr. Grey said."He is like his father. His mother likes to do embroidery. The truth is that his mot
The CEO'S Secret Daughter Grandma Mila
"Hon, what should we bring for her? Should we buy cake," he asked, trying to think carefully.Ericka thought for a while and helped her analyze. "Cake, I don't think so. She loves to bake, and usually, she's giving it all a slice of cake every time she makes a cake.""Really..?'' he asked in surprise."Yes, Honey. Grandma Mila love's to bake. That's one of her habits," Ericka shared with a smile."Then what should we bring for her?""How about a basket of fruits?""Well, that's a good idea, and a bouquet of red roses.""Yes, why not."After they got the best gift to bring, they arrived at the place of Grandma Mila. They looked at each other and Shawn turned off the car engine."Are you ready?" Ericka asked."Yes, actually, I'm excited. I was wondering what could be her reaction," Shawn said while feeling nervous as well."Well, let's find out," Ericka said after she unbuckled herself."Hon, I'm nervous," Shawn said while smiling."I understand you because I felt the same when I return
