Dead Silence
Huling Na-update:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Once Ericka and Nimfa's conversation ended, she finally turned her gaze towards the steering wheel and maneuvered the car back to the road. She steps on the accelerator of the vehicle then drives away from the vacant lot.
Within a few minutes of a car ride, she finally reached buildings as high as the skyscrapers and immediately stopped at an elegant establishment standing at the very center of the city.
Just as she greeted the guards and had one person drive her car towards the parking area, she walks directly to the hallway of the company and lifted her wrist to stare at her watch.
It was exactly eight o'clock in the morning when the employees were staring right at her. Most of them had a surprised look written on their face, unknowing that she is the next heir to the company.
Blinking at the sight of the people, she makes sure that in each and every movement she's doing, sh

The CEO'S Secret Daughter 41th Floor
Once, the door finally opens at the 41th floor, she was just about to walk when Mr. Gaston introduced the woman to her."Ms. Ericka, I would like you to meet Cynthia. She is going to be your personal secretary, as your father instructed me."Ericka didn't bother to listen about the name of the person and only stared right at the man with a dark expression on her face. To Gaston, it seems like he couldn't read what was going through her mind before she spoke.It seems like something had happened before he arrived earlier that made her act cold towards the young lady. And whatever it is, it seems like Ericka is displeased with the behavior of the woman."Hire me a new personal secretary," Ericka quickly blurted out and walked down the long hallway of the 41th floor. She didn't bother to even stare at the woman who have yet to regain herself from the embarassment from earlier.
The CEO'S Secret Daughter Bitter Smile
A bitter smile was crossing his lips as he slowly opened his mouth to speak. "You are still such a sweet girl, my child," the old man started."When you suddenly disappeared, your father…" His eyes slowly turned sad as he looked directly into her eyes. "He had been stressing himself with working, unable to accept what had happened to you and your relationship with him. He chained himself with workload until he ended up sick in bed."Her heart sank at the words Mr. Gaston said. She couldn't believe that her father had been suffering all along because of her. Guilt started to creep up to her system, unable to bear what she heard.She bites her lip for a second and with a stunned look, speaks the words, "What do you mean?""My child, your father had been dying inside as though you were his world that slowly disappeared from his sight," he explained. "He only comes home to
The CEO'S Secret Daughter The Orientation
Shawn immediately started with the orientation, introducing her to the whole group as people continued to eye her with a lot of things in mind.Not long after, the whole spacious room was filled with applause as Ericka appreciated it with a smile, a nod and a thank you.She takes her time to stand up and show everyone a timid smile before she turns her gaze towards Grey."Thank you, Mr. Grey, I appreciate the warm welcome," she said, an emphasis for the word 'warm welcome' tone was added. Afterwards, she then turned to look at everyone again, her eyes wandering towards the faces of the people."Thank you everyone. I'm glad that I'll be able to get to work with you all. I'm just hoping that our company will succeed."The place was yet again filled with applause before the real meeting started.Immediately, the whol
The CEO'S Secret Daughter The Child's Voice
"Are you sure, Mommy?" The child's voice couldn't help but let out a cheerful tone. It seems like the mere mention of her going to visit excites her daughter the most. Ericka couldn't help but imagine the sweet smile flashing through Rica's lips as she let out a giggle."Mommy, I want to have chocolate milk and fried chicken for dinner," the child continued. Just hearing her sweet voice gives her all the delight she could ever feel.The only thing that matters to her the most is none other than her baby and she had been yearning to see her everyday.Just as she was happy to hear her child's voice, the same knock on the door continued to which she was interrupted. She turned her gaze towards the exit only to have her eyebrows furrowed for a moment.After a while, she let out a sigh before she gazed back at her phone. "Baby, I just need to do something real quick. I'll call you back," she s
The CEO'S Secret Daughter Secret
Shawn only let out a bitter smile before speaking. "Well, if that's the case then I'm sorry if you ever missed knowing more about me. Have you forgotten the years we've spent together?" he said that made her dumbfounded. "And unlike you, I still remember most things about you… even your secret that you don't want others to know, especially your father."The way the man showed a mischievous smile flashing through his lips sent her a shiver down her spine.She couldn't help but overthink to herself about what he might have found out about her.Is he talking about her daughter? She had been doing her best to keep her away and yet…Even before she could regain her thoughts, the man finally turned away from her.She stared long and hard at his disappearing stature when he suddenly turned around."I'
The CEO'S Secret Daughter Daughter
“How's my daughter, Doc?” Ericka asked the doctor as soon as they reached his office. They happen to leave her daughter's room knowing full well that the doctor has something important to tell her.“I just wanted to remind you that we badly needed the bone marrow transplant in your daughter,” the doctor said that made her feel weak upon hearing it. She knew that her daughter's condition was getting worse. She slowly lowered her head into the floor, almost wanting to cry when suddenly, the man continued his words. "But there's good news you need to hear," the man said and immediately enough, she lifted her head, her heart pacing fast as though she couldn't help but anticipate what he was going to say."W-What do you mean, Doc?" she asked, stuttering. She couldn't help but stumble upon her words knowing full well that he was about to say something important, something that could help and save her dear daughter.&nb
The CEO'S Secret Daughter New Room
The place was filled with white furnishing with small frames attached to the walls and the floor beaming with nothing but white and lime green. The hospital still seemed the same but to Ericka, it was like walking into a new room full of possibilities and open doors.Her world was shining bright even until she reached her daughter's ward. The smile on her face couldn't be erased and she couldn't help it. As of the moment, it feels like she was dancing in the clouds.As she slowly opens the door, she quickly spots her daughter still playing with Nimfa.With a smile still flashing through her lips, she patted her head and said, "You're still awake?""Yes, Mom. I've been waiting for you," Rica replied, which made her heart melt yet again. These were the simple things that made her touched the most.Ericka suddenly reached out her hand towards her baby, her ey
The CEO'S Secret Daughter Finally Back
"Good thing, you're finally back, my dear," Nanny Maria said. She happens to enter the dining area when the old woman greeted her upfront. Everyone from the table turned to look at her while her nanny started to walk back towards the kitchen area."Welcome back, Sissy!" Jenna greeted as well and quickly stood up from her seat when she happened to notice her."Wow, what a surprise! It's good that you're back, my child." The sound of her wicked voice coming across Ericka's ear sent a shiver down her spine. The moment her eyes met hers, she couldn't fathom the feelings mixing inside of her.What was seated close to her father was none other than her mistress that had driven her insane before.She let out a wry smile."What might have happened to you? I'm sure you have woken up from your dream and thought that living all alone was nothing but a nightmare and you've

The CEO'S Secret Daughter Marry me
Because of Carol's question on him and his current anxiety, he couldn't help but had the urge of doing something about his doubts.If it was true that he had a child with Jenna, though he never heard about it from Ericka and Shawn, he still needed to be sure.Carol received a call from Ericka that she needed to go to the hospital because today was the day that Rica would be discharged. That cute little girl stayed for two nights and two days at the hospital. 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? After all, you are the aunt of my daughter, and the girlfriend of my husband's best friend…" Ericka kept on insist
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
The CEO'S Secret Daughter Ericka
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
The CEO'S Secret Daughter Girlfriend
"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
