The Heartless CEO Chapter 40: Secret desire
"What did you do in Nicole's room?" Danica asked Rita intensely. She looked surprised to see her."Oh, I talked to her about Brother."Danica stared at her skeptically and she wasn't convinced."I caught them kissing.""What?!" Danica's eyes widened and she couldn't help but raise her voice."So I went to her room to tell her that Brother Steven only wants her body." Rita explained to her."The thickness of her face, really! She doesn't even respect me as your brother's fiancee!""Don't be angry, because of what I told her, she must have come to her senses."Danica smiled when she noticed the mischievous smile on Rita's lips. She put her arm on her shoulder and took her to her room."Do you think she finally realized that?" Danica asked Rita excitedly."With the thickness of her face, the truth won't get to her that easily. But I know her confidence has diminished." She answered confidently."I really love you, bestie!"Rita gazed sharply at Danica as she turned her back on her. She w

"How's everything going?" Danica asked Brando from the other line."Soledad will have a hard time because Steven himself filed the case against her for attempting to kill Nicole and the children.""Damn it! He'd rather believe that woman! I won't allow it!" Danica's anger towards Nicole grew."What do you plan now to do with Soledad, Ma'am?" Brando asked her."Wait for my call." Danica quickly turned off the phone and her sharp eyes focused in a corner.Rita felt like a thief who was afraid of being caught. She didn't know if Danica had seen her. But she made sure that she had left her hiding place before the woman looked in that direction."Are you leaving?" Rita asked Danica with a smile as she passed in front of her."Yes, I just have something important to do."Rita was unable to meet Danica's gaze. She was not the type of person to wear a mask and think of doing a bad thing to others. She also can't smile at someone she knew had done bad things to her family.Danica secretly smir
The Heartless CEO Chapter 42: Risk of her life
Danica felt the subtle coldness in Nicole's parents’ treatment of her when she visited them. She felt like she was going crazy because she felt that everyone around her had changed their opinion of her.Danica slumped on the sofa in her room. She was currently in her own house. She needed to think and figure out what everyone’s thinking about her. She drank alone because she seemed to be going crazy about many things. She could not accept that she would lose everything she had worked hard for. She can't lose the path to the life she wanted to have and the person she wanted to be with forever.Rita didn't know how long she had been outside the building where Danica's condominium was. Ever since she knew her true identity, she had always followed her. She called her because she was getting impatient, she still had to act like her friend so she wouldn’t suspect."Hello?" She did not bother to look at who the caller was."I was worried about you, so I called you."Danica smirked as she re
The Heartless CEO Chapter 43: Pretending
Rita was weeping silently from her confinement. She wanted to approach her niece who was crying in a corner, but couldn’t because she was tied up. Even her mouth was gagged, so she couldn't talk to her either. Earlier, she thought Danica hadn't noticed her following her. When she stopped her car to a side, she also stopped and kept her distance. But someone suddenly knocked on the window, she thought it was a beggar because of his clothes. But, he aimed a gun at her and he got into her car. She could do nothing but drive and follow the man's command where to go to."Why did she tie you up?" Natasha's voice was trembling and she was afraid to approach the woman because a woman named Danica would hurt her if she disobeyed her.Rita could only shake her head. She felt sorry for her because she seemed to have gone through the hardships of life. She was undeniably her niece because she looked like Daniela. She was also thin, so she was worried about her health.Natasha's attempt to approac
The Heartless CEO Chapter 44: Farewell
Steven and Xander went to an abandoned place. When they got there, the kidnappers were already there."I said just go alone, why are you with someone?" Brando asked Steven angrily."He's my friend and he doesn't carry a weapon like I do." Steven replied calmly."Release the hostage!" Brando called to a companion.Steven was furious when he saw Danica. She was obviously weak and had wounds on her face. Even her lips was cracked and stained with blood."It's her fault why I hurt her. She fought so hard so that's what happened." Brando explained with a smirk."When can I get my sister?" Steven asked the man whose face was covered and only his eyes were uncovered."Wait for my call. I don't want the authorities to find out, understood?" Brando pushed and released the captive.Steven quickly approached Danica and helped her stand up. The three men quickly moved away from them and they could not follow."Steven, Rita… they might hurt my friend!" Danica cried and hugged the young man."I nee
The Heartless CEO Chapter 45: Secret reveal
"Steven, when you read this letter of mine, I am no longer here, so don't look for me anymore. Forgive me for the sins I have committed against you. I will leave Daniela with you again and Sean. I need to get away to find myself. It's also my fault why Rita was kidnapped. Please forgive me and don't vent your anger toward me on the children. I wish you and Danica happiness. To her, I entrust our two children. I know she will love the children more than I did as a real mother. I'm worthless and everything Soledad said is true."Steven shredded the paper on which Nicole's letter was written. He was angry and he could not allow Nicole to leave just like that."Hijo, calm down first. We need to put your sister first before that problem with Nicole." Asuncion calmed her grandson."Grandma's right, Steven. I don't know what else Nicole wants to happen." Danica hugged the young man sadly.Steven tried not to let the children know about their mother’s departure for the time being. He could no
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
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 Finale: Climax
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. Tony was no longer just a family driver. He was trusted by Steven and his family. Gaven also did not return to Canada because he had to manage the business of his father and be Steven's partner. Steven didn’t stop until she accepted his marriage proposal. She also wanted to build
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
The Heartless CEO Chapter 51: Search the area
"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
The Heartless CEO Chapter 50: Escape
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
