All Chapters of The Heartless CEO: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

"What are your plans with Nicole and Danica?" Asuncion asked Steven."I don't know yet, but I don't want them to be separated from me.""Including Nicole?" Asuncion asked her grandson again. She did not want to meddle in his decision, especially since he already has a son.Steven was silent and Asuncion understood that. She was worried about Rita. She certainly wouldn’t allow Danica to be removed from Steven’s life. From what she sees in her grandson, it seems that he has fallen in love with Nicole.Danica decided to sleep in Daniela's room that night. She had to hold on to the girl because that was her only remaining ace now."Mommy, why are you sad?" Daniela asked her mother."Sweetie, do you remember the woman in your daddy's office?"The child nodded her head in response."She wants to take you from me with your daddy." Danica sobbed and pretended to cry."I won't allow, Mommy. I don't like her because she's bad and a stealer!""But your daddy wants her more than me to be his wife

"I can't allow that!" Danica angrily protested in front of Madame Asuncion and Rita."Whether you like it or not, Nicole can step in this household with Sean!" the tone of the Madame's voice also rose."Rita?" she called her friend for help, but she just averted her eyes from her. "I accept the child, but why does that woman have to come here as well?!""That's Sean's condition in exchange for living here. He wants to be with his mother." Rita explained to her."Huh! I'm sure that's what she taught the boy. Please, don't agree. What would people think about Steven and our family if that woman lived here?""You're not married to Steven yet, don't forget." Asuncion reminded Danica aloofly.Danica clenched her fist that was hidden under the table. She tried to calm herself down so she wouldn't utter a bad word to the Madame."Another thing is to help Nicole regain her memory, thus the case against Soledad can move forward. And you're one of the ones who can help her because you used to b

Danica knew that Steven was angry, but she still followed him. She wasn't a fool to not figure out what they had done earlier in Nicole's room. Before he could enter Daniela's room, she pulled the young man by the arm."Steven, I want to set up our wedding as soon as possible. So that Sean can accept me as his second mother as well.""Not now, Danica. There are things I should pay more attention to." Steven replied coldly and he didn't bother to look back at Danica."If what worries you is that you don't have time to take care of or join me in arranging what needs to be arranged, don't worry. Rita and I will take care of everything." Danica insisted. She sounded like they were running out of time."You know the situation isn't the same as before, Danica. You heard what Sean said earlier.""What? Our marriage now depends on that boy?!""Lower your voice," Steven said in a calm voice because Sean might hear."No…!"Steven quickly pulled Danica by the arm and dragged her to her room."Wh

After a hot scene between her and the young man, Nicole suddenly felt embarrassed. Fortunately, he was no longer with her because he suddenly remembered that he had a meeting. She should also be at the meeting, but he told her not to go. He strictly instructed her not to leave his office before he left earlier."Ugh, what did you do, Nicole?" She talked to herself while fixing her messy hair.It would be more difficult for her now to distance herself from the young man because of what happened. The more she couldn't convince him to marry Danica. When she remembered what could possibly be the consequence, she quickly stood up and left Steven's office. She needed to buy pills and drink. She didn't want the mistake to result into something and it shouldn't be. She will see her third child anytime soon.Danica's eyes were sharp as she followed Nicole. She knew she had been in Steven's office and she didn't want to think about what might have happened between the two. When the elevator Nic

"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
