All Chapters of The CEO's illegitimate daughter : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

It was not until Adam entered the room after Mr. Woods left my hospital room abruptly. He brought flowers and also some chocolates. Despite my doctor's orders that I should not have chocolate, it was too tempting to resist."Daniella, how are you feeling? You scared us a lot." He said after giving me the chocolate in my hand.."Yes, my blood pressure increased, but I am not sure what happened." When I opened the chocolate box, I nibbled on the first roll."Hmm! He pulled his chair closer and sat next to my bed, saying, "I see." When his parents came back, we were still chatting. Mr. Woods was surprised to see his son at my side, as he should have been at the office taking care of things while he was away.Should not you be at the office, son?His wife was standing irate at the door when he left.Adam responded to his father's question even though he could see his mother's face. He mentioned that he thought about getting me some chocolate and flowers because there was nothing else to d

As Aunt Anita, a friend of my mom's, shared information about my mom with me, the pieces of the puzzle continued to fit together. She met with my dad at one of her school recitals, and I had no idea that she danced.It seemed as though fate had intended for them to be together. Something clicked, and my mother felt so enchanted that she chose to give her heart to a man she hardly knew.My mother and my father, Mr. Woods, began dating.Their relationship was kept a secret, but when my mom became pregnant, everything changed. She was overjoyed to learn that she was expecting a child and went to my dad's house to tell him.Unfortunately, she did not find Mr. Woods' house but his mother. She asked my mom to end the pregnancy because my dad was already planning to marry their businessman's daughter. The new split her up from the inside out, and no matter how hurt she was, mom still found it difficult to spend time alone with Mr. Woods.This happened nine months after I was born, and his m

The following day, Edwina came outside as I was getting ready for my morning jog with Grandma. She was also getting dressed for the workout, so I did not need anyone else to tell me that she wanted to join us."Where is Grandma?"She inquired when she noticed me leaning against the car door."I do not know, she might still be sleeping in her room upstairs." I sarcastically responded to her...Luckily, it did not hit a nerve the way I wanted it to. After twenty more minutes of waiting, Grandma decided it would be prudent to envelop us in her presence."Good morning. Shall we, my lovely ladies?"She smiled at Mrs. Edwina and me while wearing a timer on her running outfit.Regarding this, I do not feel good.Nevertheless, I swallowed my fears and set out on the adventure with her and her daughter-in-law.I called my mom's friend, aunt Anita, a couple times without them knowing. I had to text her my address because she wanted to know where I was. Grandma and Mrs. Edwina were directly in

For something I did not do, why should I bear the blame? A couple of hours later, I had to talk to my dad. He was in his office, and when I arrived, he was clearly happy."I am sorry, Daniella. I want to apologize for what happened."When he began discussing the events of the previous hours, I was not permitted to speak."That is all right," "But, do you really want to divorce Mrs. Edwina?" I asked, grabbing the chair at his table and taking a seat. I questioned him about what had led me to his office.He becomes somewhat silent, and as I was trying to avoid discussing the matter, he resumed and then informed me of his decision to file for divorce from his wife.For a long time, Dad has been unhappy in his marriage to Mrs. Edwina, and he vowed that it was not because of me. I do not need a soothsayer to tell me that because anyone with common sense would not want to stay married to Mrs. Edwina, who is a bitter woman. She is not only resentful but also malevolent.While we were conve

Daniella POV As I was getting ready for work the next day, my father asked me to go to a business meeting with him and his son after work. I agreed since I had nothing better to do and it was preferable to having to lock myself in the room when I got home.Susan approached my table at work and posed a really interesting query to me.According to rumors, Daniella, you are Mr. Woods' illegitimate daughter. Are you related to him and his family?I grinned because it was clear that the public announcement of my existence would come soon. Dad and Adam must have told a few people, and those people must have told others, and they must have told the next person and those who came after them.Though not as quickly, news spreads via various channels, much like wildfire.Even though I did not want to support her theory, things took a different turn when Mr. Woods came out of his office, walked up to my table, and referred to me as his daughter.Everyone at their desks was shocked by the news;
