The Heartless CEO Chapter 16: Shock and anger
Nicole looked around the office that's now hers. It was small compared to Steven’s office, but she liked it. There is a bathroom inside and a sofa on the side that is just the right length for guests."If there's something you want to change in your office, just say so." Steven said to the woman. He couldn't take his eyes off her while she was looking elsewhere.Nicole faced Steven with a wide smile on her seductive lips. "I like it!"Steven quickly averted his gaze from the woman's face. The words she said felt different to him. It seemed to echo in his mind as he recalled a memory of that night at the hotel."Uhm, I like it, please continue…" a woman pleaded in Steven's memory."Are you sick?" Nicole asked the young man worriedly when she noticed that his expression suddenly changed.He couldn't avoid her from touching his forehead. Steven felt the surroundings suddenly heat up because of a memory coming back to his mind.Danica clenched her fists when she saw from the open door wha
The Heartless CEO Chapter 17: Do you know who I am?
"Hello, good morning! How may I help you?" Smiling, Nicole greeted the newcomer.Even though Rita already knew that the woman in front of her is someone else, she was still surprised to personally see her. It was as if she had seen a ghost, so she could not speak immediately.Nicole wanted to look happy, but sadness prevailed as she stared at Rita. She was no longer the child who was scared and crying. She gave a bold impression like Steven."Do you know who I am?" Rita asked arrogantly when she recovered. She didn’t like the way she looked at her as if she knew something about her past."I'm sorry, I just suddenly remembered my best friend who was with me on an island when we were little." Nicole inadvertently said what was on her mind.Rita's forehead furrowed and she looked at Nicole doubtfully. "Is it some kind of a coincidence?" she whispered to herself."By the way, sorry, but I don't know you. May I introduce myself to you?" Nicole asked with friendliness. "No need because I a
The Heartless CEO Chapter 18: Lies
Steven had already recognized Nicole from afar, even though it was only her back. She was talking to a man who was an acquaintance of his."Mr. Scout! Nice to see you again and welcome back here!" Joseph greeted the young man with pleasure.Steven's face was serious while his eyes were on Joseph's hand pressed against Nicole's back.Nicole cleared her throat to get their attention. "Do you know each other?""Yes, of course! Mr. Scout is one of our VIP guests here." Joseph answered proudly."Ahm, well! He's the one I was saying I'd be meeting with." A small smile flashed on her lips and was unable to meet Steven's gaze. She was afraid that it might show through her eyes that what she was doing was a part of her script. "Oh, I didn't know!" Joseph quickly removed his hand from the girl's back and called a waiter.Steven formally thanked Joseph and he pulled a chair for Nicole."Please, enjoy the meal!" smiling, Joseph turned away and left the two."How did you meet Mr. Joseph?"Nicole
The Heartless CEO Chapter 19: Last warning
Kanor caught Sean with his eyes focused on what he was reading in the news. He already knew about that news and he didn’t expect the child to see it."Is he my daddy?" Sean asked his grandfather as his eyes remained focused on the picture of his mother with the man who looked like him."He is, but you can't meet him yet." Kanor did not deny about the man. The boy will only find a way to find out the truth if he had not told him."I understand," Sean simply replied to the gentleman and turned his attention back to the television.The news only spread more when the interview with Steven came out. Even though he said he had no relationship with the woman and she was only a new business partner, many still maliciously gave a different meaning to the news. Someone even said that if the young billionaire did not have something special for the woman, that would not be his action."Brother, why didn't you just delete the false news that was spreading?" Rita confronted her brother.Steven wipe
The Heartless CEO Chapter 20: Heartbeat
"DARN!" Nicole groaned when the wood she had intentionally knocked down hit her head hard. Her plan earlier was to only create noise to grab Steven's attention. She would have pretended to be hurt, but her karma seemed to hate her and the wood retaliated. She took a wrong step so she could not avoid the wood that was leaning against the wall."Fuck!" Josh's eyes widened and he quickly ran to where Nicole was.But Steven was faster and closer to her, thus he was the one to catch her when she lost her balance."Tss! Why does the speed of karma return to me quickly instead of Danica?" complaint of a part of Nicole's mind as she rubbed her forehead with both palms.Nicole felt her surroundings circling around her and even the wall she was leaning against was moving as well. Her eyes remained closed, she was busy debating with herself."Sir, I'll carry her instead." Josh said to Steven. He was about to take Nicole from him, but Steven glared at him."Pay attention to your staff instead bec
The Heartless CEO Chapter 21: His desire
STEVEN left the company angrily when he learned that Nicole was not in the office. In the morning, his day was ruined immediately because of this. He knew she went to the site even though he did not allow her to.Nicole intentionally went to the site first before going to the office. She was selfish yesterday so she didn’t finish what she was supposed to do there. She needed to talk to Josh and look at the things that went wrong.They were in the middle of the conversation when their dominant boss arrived. The way he looked at her, she knew he was mad."Leave us first." Steven orders Josh.Josh shrugged before exiting his small office that was also close to the site."Didn't I told you yesterday you're not going to be here anymore?" He scolded her with a displeased look."I won't be here long, I need to talk to Josh about something important, so…""The hell I care about that important thing!" Nicole was surprised when he suddenly raised his voice. He was obviously angry and she felt
The Heartless CEO Chapter 22: Unexpected visitor
"REMEMBER that woman's face, you shouldn't approach her if you're not with me." Danica sternly instructed the child as she stroked her soft hair."Why, Mommy?" Daniela asked her mother in confusion. She got a feeling that the woman from earlier was actually kind."She's evil and she wants to snatch Daddy from us. She's the reason why your daddy and I didn't get married yet."Daniela was suddenly sad for her mother when she saw that she was sad. She hugged her tightly. "She's bad, I will tell Daddy to stay away from that woman, Mommy.""No!" she strongly rebuked the child. "Daddy will get even angrier with me and get upset. Do you want Daddy and I fight because of you?"Daniela shook her head a few times as an answer to her mother. She did not want her mother to be angry with her and she did not want them to separate. Because Danica had always told her that if they separate, she would leave as well, and she would never see her father again."Good girl!" Danica smiled up to her ears bef
The Heartless CEO Chapter 23: Protecting his sister
"HEY, Daniela. Have you met our new transfer classmate?" Rose asked her playmate in a whisper. They are in grade one now and Rose is more talkative than Daniela.Daniela shook her head. She was not there yesterday because she did not want to go to school, she was upset with her father. She was upset because she couldn't be a flower girl at her own parents' wedding."How would she know? She doesn't even know that her parents aren't married yet, so how would she be aware of something new from school?" A girl arrogantly interrupted the two.Suddenly, Daniela's eyes were filled with tears because of her classmate's bullying. They never get along well because she is smarter than her."What?!" Rose's voice grew louder and she looked at the both of them. "How did she become your Mommy if she isn't married to your daddy yet?"Daniela scratched her forehead because of her friend's question. Rose is not really good at understanding, thus she was confused about her parents' situation."You're so

Danica was found guilty of the multiple charges filed by Steven. She will be imprisoned for life and she couldn't accept it. Nicole wanted to pity her, but not after all the evil she did against her and her children. She apologized to her and forgave her, but when she asked for help to not be in jail, she didn't help her. Steven and his whole family did not want to help her either. Rita made up for the mistake she had made even though she told her there was no need. She spoiled the children and Madame Asuncion added.

The Heartless CEO Chapter 53: Last sweet dream
It was already dark when Danica arrived at the mansion. She was tired from the trip, thus she went to her room. But before she could enter, the maid called her."Ma'am, do you want something to eat?"Danica looked at her with a smile. "I'm still full and I want to rest first. When Steven looks for me, please let him know I'm just in my room."Rita restrained herself from attacking and hurting Danica. She still had to stay calm until she was sure Nicole was safe. From Gaven, she knew that the two children were safe. She was greatly impressed with what Sean did and he saved his sister. But her brother hadn't called again yet. She didn't know if he had saved Nicole as well.Danica just smiled at Rita when she saw her. She waved at her before closing the door. With a smile on her face, she lay down on the soft bed and slept in a great mood."How is she?" Gaven asked Steven when he saw him."I do not know!" Steven answered in frustration. He had tweaked his own hair several times while wal
The Heartless CEO Chapter 52: Begging
Steven quickly ran toward the ambulance carrying his third child whom he would see for the first time. Seeing the child's face, he couldn't hold back his tears."D-daughter? Daddy is here! Forgive Daddy if I only met you now."Even the police and staff in the ambulance were moved to tears by the event in front of them. They did not know the whole story about them, but they felt the great guilt and longing of the child's father.Steven's heart was filled with fear because the girl didn't open her eyes. She was also pale and thin. When he caressed her cheek, his fingers trembled."Sir, she needs to be taken to the emergency room for treatment."Steven did not answer the nurse who had spoken. He quickly picked up the child with care and ran to the emergency room."I beg you, do everything you can to save my daughter's life!""Sir, please calm down first and go out. We will do our best." The doctor said.Steven stepped out of the emergency room dejectedly. He was depressed because two liv

"I've found her!" Toby called to his partner.The man panted as he approached his companion. But before they could approach the kid with their back turned, they quickly ran away from them."Don't shoot!" Toby quickly pushed his partner's gun as he aimed at the running kid."But she's running!" "Are you dumb? What if you kill her? That's just a kid and we can easily catch her now!"The man scratched his neck even though it wasn't itchy."Come on, let's chase her before she gets away!"Sean ran faster, away from where his sister was. He was a fast runner and he's an athlete in their school. But the two men were faster, so they soon caught up with him."Shit, it's not the girl!""Le-Let me go. I'm sorry if I did something wrong!" Sean trembled with fear and struggled hard from the man's grip on his arm."Who are you and why are you running?" Toby hissed at the child. They could not clearly see his face because his cheeks were covered in mud."I was shocked when you shouted, so I ran. My

When Danica arrived at the other hideout, Brando met her immediately."You idiot, why did you leave this bag in my car?" She threw the bag at him and it hit his chest.Brando scratched his head when he saw the bag. "I'm sorry, Ma'am, I was in a haste and I didn't even think about where I put it.""Be glad and no one else saw this." She rolled her eyes at the man. She went to where Nicole was."Ma'am, could you let us taste her before you bury her alive?" A subordinate asked Danica while smirking.Danica smirked and looked at Nicole. She was irritated with her perfect body, so she was pleased to think that other men will harass her."Danica, don't do this to me. If you're going to kill me, do it now." Nicole pleaded, and she was afraid.Instead of feeling sorry for her, Danica became even more annoyed with the woman. She approached her and slapped her hard on the cheek."That’s for being the villain in my life! If you didn't come back, Rita and I would still be friends!"Nicole immedia
The Heartless CEO Chapter 49: Threaten
Rita entered Danica's room angrily when she regained her strength."Don't show me that attitude. Remember, you won't want to make me mad." Danica rebuked her."I want to make sure you're not doing anything bad to Nicole and Natasha. Call your henchman now so I can see they're still alive." She boldly commanded Danica."And why should I grant your wishes?" Danica asked arrogantly."You choose, to get your plan ruined right now or fulfill your dream to marry Brother? I'm not afraid to die anymore, Danica. I'm ready to risk my life for them!"Danica glared at Rita. She was hurt by what she said and she hated her. She had no choice but to call her henchman to show her that the two were still alive."Rita? I'm glad you came home safely." Nicole's eyes watered and she smiled while staring at Rita.Rita hardened her emotions to stay calm in front of Nicole. She was grateful and she had no bruises or signs that she was hurt.Danica quickly ended the call because she didn’t want to hear drama
The Heartless CEO Chapter 48: Captured
Madame Asuncion cried when she saw her granddaughter in the hospital. She was very happy and she was safe, but she noticed something had changed in her. She was quiet and she refused to speak even when asked by the police."Don't force her to speak now. I understand how she feels because I also experienced what happened to her." Danica said sadly.Rita averted her eyes from Danica and she might not be able to control herself. If a stare can kill, she was certain she would've died.When Gaven heard that Steven was in the same hospital, he went to them. He still can't contact or find Nicole, so he's worried."Sir…"Gaven turned to the man who called to him. When he recognized him, he quickly approached him."Sir, don't come near Sir Steven for now." Tony whispered as he looked around."What do you mean? Why can't I approach him? Do you know Nicole is missing and she can't be contacted anymore?""Let's go somewhere else, Sir. Please follow me." Tony did not wait for his response. He led
The Heartless CEO Chapter 47: Reunion
"I've changed my plan, Rita has to live so Steven and I can get married.""But what if she betrays you, Ma'am? Remember that she knows a lot and…""I know what I'm doing, so just follow what I want!" She irritably interrupted what else Brando had to say.Brando did not speak for a few seconds. "What are your plans now?"Danica smirked as she felt Brando gave up. The man was handsome and young, she could tell that he liked her, so he did whatever she said."Don't worry, I only need their wealth." She lied, so that he would not hesitate to cooperate with her.Danica needed Brando to be loyal to her. She can also use him one day as a man.Brando smirked and had hope."I want you to bring Rita and Nicole together because I'll talk to them. But don't let Natasha see Nicole, understood?""Yes, Ma'am." Brando replied with a smirk. He understood why the woman could not go there personally yet, because Steven was strict for her ‘safety’."Where are you taking me?" Nicole struggled to break fre
The Heartless CEO Chapter 46: Proposal
"Why did you suddenly come back? Did something bad happen?" Asuncion asked her grandson as they entered her room."Grandma, what was the agreement between you and Danica before the twins came out?"The Madame looked apparently guilty. "Why did you ask that?""I need to know, is it true that you gave Danica a condition to fulfill in order to be married to me?"Asuncion sighed and averted her eyes from her grandson. She knew what he hated the most was for someone to meddle in his life. "You know she has a problem with her ovary and the state of our clan when it comes to women."Steven no longer needed to hear the exact answer from his grandmother, what she said was enough."I don't want our bloodline to end with you. It's important that you have a child who will carry our family name." The Madame explained to her grandson."I understand and thank you for understanding my situation." He said sincerely.Steven didn't stay long in his grandmother's room. He did not want to tell her the tru
