"HOW'S your day?" Kanor asked Sean with a smile as he entered the car."Good!" his short response to his grandfather."Did you meet her?"Sean nodded and smiled a little as an answer. "Why do you look sad?" he said when he noticed that he was not in the mood to talk."I saw him."Kanor sighed as he watched the child. He knew who he was referring to."Don't worry, Grandpa, he didn't see my face." Sean gave a quick explanation."Very good, you know that this is not the right time yet.""I understand."Kanor wanted to make the child happy so he decided to take him somewhere first because it was still early. He will only be even sadder when they go home because his mother is not there yet.After Steven sent his daughter home, he returned to the office because he had a meeting at 4 p.m. at the hotel he owned in laguna. He knew that Nicole had gone there first because he wanted her to be familiar with the management of the hotel they were building in Batangas.When Nicole arrived at the ho
The Heartless CEO Chapter 25: Awaken desire
After eating, Joseph invited Nicole to drink a little. He was making the most of her time with him. He was happy and she accepted the invitation. The light where they were was dim, so their dinner looked romantic.Nicole also wanted to forget the things that were bothering her mind and heart, so she accepted his invitation."Thanks, I miss this." Nicole smiled and raised the glass to toast with Joseph. She was not used to drinking, thus she was immediately drunk. But she trusted Joseph and he would take her home."I'm the one who should be thankful. You know you're the only one I'm comfortable with in this thing." A hesitant smile flashed on Joseph's lips.Nicole laughed at her friend's gesture. She knew he wanted to try to have a relationship with a woman and she was the one who he thought of. And because she was drunk, she also became naughty and playful. Nicole brought her face close to her friend's and whispered. "You want us to try? Let's start with the kiss." She said teasingly
The Heartless CEO Chapter 26: Found her
TONY was driving the car quietly, listening to the conversation between his boss and his assistant."I want to know her true identity as soon as possible," Steven ordered Grey.Steven had also decided to stay away from Nicole so that he can think rationally. He thought of avoiding her and distracting himself with other things to avoid temptation."I'll talk to the detective you trust later," Grey replied to the young boss.Steven also ordered Grey to keep an eye on Nicole. He will be his representative for things that they need to talk about.When the two passengers got out of the car, Tony quickly called Kanor."Why did he think of investigating Nicole? Did something happen that I didn't know about?" Kanor asked Tony with a frown."I think something strange is forming between them, Sir." Tony replied to the gentleman.Kanor thought that Nicole would seduce Steven. Perhaps there was already something between the two."What are you going to do now? They will surely know that Nicole is
The Heartless CEO Chapter 27: I miss you
WHEN Nicole was sent to the operating room, Tony called Kanor. Earlier, when he came out of the building, he noticed that she seemed anxious. He couldn't help but look around when he saw her looking around. He was just as surprised at the sudden appearance of the motorcycle lurking behind a car. Fortunately he was there, if he was not, Nicole might have been dead already.Tony couldn't see the culprit's face because he was wearing a helmet. The motorcycle’s license plate was also blurry.Kanor almost had a heart attack because he was too worried about Nicole. He instructed the maid to watch over Sean and not to let him know what happened to his mother.When Steven arrived at the hospital, he went outside the operating room. Tony was out there and the other one who was one of the guards in his company."How is she? Steven asked Tony."The doctor checking on her hasn't come out yet, Sir."Steven sighed to ease the weight in his chest. He blamed himself for why this happened to Nicole. I
The Heartless CEO Chapter 28: Protective
Danica left early and went to the hospital. She raised an eyebrow when the two men guarding the door blocked her. She didn't think Steven would actually hire men for the woman's safety."I'm sorry, Ma'am. Sir Steven ordered us to not let strangers enter." One of the guards calmly talked to Danica."Don't you say you don't know me? Don't you know that I am Steven's fiancee?" Her voice rose slightly.The man scratched his head and was confused. He is a new worker for Steven, so he knew nothing about his marital status."Let her in, Mister. What she's saying is true." The nurse replied, she knew Danica from the news.Danica smiled at the nurse and thanked her. They went into the room together and she found Nicole awake. But Steven was still asleep and was able to fit himself on a sofa. It seemed that he stayed up until late to watch over the woman.Nicole smiled at Danica as she glared at her. "Don't wake him yet, because he didn't sleep while I slept earlier."Danica clenched her fists
The Heartless CEO Chapter 29: Pity
Nicole stayed in the hospital for two days and rested at home for a week. Steven called her often, but she did not answer. She is afraid of her own feelings because she is the one who is falling for him. That was not in her plan and it was just an obstacle for her revenge. She must keep hating the man and replant in her mind the hurtful words he once said to her.Nicole closed her eyes tightly when she also remembered Danica's record back then. She felt that the young man hated her, believing that she was an opportunist.Danica went to see Soledad when she came up with a new plan to destroy Nicole again. She found out that Steven was also investigating Nicole's true identity. She can't let the truth be exposed."How do I make sure you keep to the deal?" Soledad asked Danica."You know I know how to fulfill like our first conspiracy. Just play your part and make sure they believe in the story you're going to say, that you were Nicole's accomplice in what happened."Soledad smirked, Dan
The Heartless CEO Chapter 30: Pretending
Steven felt all his blood rush to his head. He blushed with anger and could not accept the truth. When he remembered his daughter, he felt even more hatred for Nicole if it was true that she was the real mother of the child."Let go of her!" Kanor shouted from the doorway. Many people were outside and curious because of the noise they heard.Everyone looked at Kanor at once. Nicole breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the gentleman. She knew he was there to help her get through it all.Instead of letting go, Seteven tightened his grip on the woman's arm. "Are you also one of this woman's accomplices?" he asked Kanor angrily."I don't know what you're talking about. But I know one thing, her life is in danger again."Rox looked at the newcomer in confusion. They don’t know him and don’t know what is his connection to their daughter."That's definitely part of your pretending with Nicole too!" Danica angrily scolded the gentleman. "You conspired with her to get into this company. You

The maid could not stop Sean when he insisted on going to the hospital to see his mother. She accompanied him with the driver.Arriving at the hospital, Sean gracefully walked in and searched for his mother’s room. He could not see his grandfather around, but there were men standing in front of the door."Let me in!" Sean commanded the man who stopped him.Madame Asuncion turned to look when she heard a boy's voice. She just arrived and they can't enter the room yet because there's a limit to how many people can visit the patient. She did not yet know the full details of events because she had not talked to her grandson.Grey's lips parted when he saw the boy standing not far from them.Sean turned his gaze in the direction in which he felt someone staring at him."He's that boy…" Madame Asuncion couldn't finish what she was going to say when she saw the annoyance on the child's face."What are you looking at?" he asked the old woman rudely. He remembered her and he didn’t like the wa

It took a month before Nicole was released from the hospital. And since she was discharged, a lot had changed in her life with her children. Her foster father Kanor was also in good condition. 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.

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

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
