"Dana, I'm running late. Could you please call Mr. Leith?" Drew called to ask a favor. "Just keep it quiet so the CEO won't know, okay?""You're putting me into trouble. Why do you have to be late today of all days, Drew?" Danie complained but she already grabbed the directory to look up for the number of James Leith."I know, I'm sorry. Emergency at home," Drew seemed to be running. "I'll owe you this one. Got to go."Danie sighed. She was calling Mr. Leith's direct number. Hopefully, he would be the one to answer and not Winston Yu.The phone was not picked up on her first attempt. But she should try again or else, if the Fleur's owner doesn't show up again, Drew would have to explain to Lucas.Fortunately, the call got connected on the second ring.It was the wife of Mr. Leith, she told her to wait because the man was still getting dressed.So, she patiently waited. While waiting, she was doing a final checking of Lucas' schedules

Danielle could almost hear her heartbeat. Every time Lucas' fingers would touch her skin, she would feel some sort of electric current flowing through her veins.'What is going on? Why am I feeling this way?' "What were you doing in that place, Dana?" Lucas looked up to her when he was done putting an ointment on her left foot. Although Danie fell on Lucas' body, she still hurt her foot. It was nothing serious, just a bruise. But Lucas insisted they put something to relieve the pain. And that's why when they came back to her unit, he immediately attended to it gently.And that gesture left Danie dumbfounded and confused. Why would Lucas be concern about her?"I don't remember approving any leave of absence. Did you file any?""I wasn't feeling well this morning. I asked Ace and Drew if I can take an afternoon leave," she looked away from his inquisitive gaze. "I was hungry and I wanted to eat in that restaurant."

According to the news, Lauro Williams' condition wasn't getting better for the last six months. Doctors attending to the old Billionaire were no longer sure why he stayed comatose despite everything in his body being normal. They're already attributing the unexplained case to his old age.While that could be true, Danielle was still doubtful knowing that one year ago, before Justus went missing and returning like a completely different person, everything was okay with her grandfather's health. If Justus went as far as killing his only niece that he raised, it was not impossible that he also had a hand on his father's sudden cardiac arrest that eventually led to his comatose state. Danie wanted to come out and go back to save her grandfather. But how would she do that?Just now, she had to return to her unit because the security didn't allow her to go out of the building. Apparently, it was Lucas' orders.Did the man ever think of how she's going to

The next day, Danie received a text from 536 so early in the morning. The workaholic Lucas Del Fierro who said that she must ride to work with him every day wanted her to get prepared by six o'clock.Of course, she couldn't refuse even if she was used to getting up from bed by seven.Danielle had no choice but to drag herself to the bathroom. Lucas said that he would be in the parking lot in thirty minutes. Seemed like she had to practice moving fast every time she needs to be with Lucas.True enough, Lucas was already waiting for her in the basement parking. 'Where does this man lives?' Danie thought while approaching the car.She knocked at the passenger seat because Lucas seemed to be very busy with his laptop that he didn't notice her arrival. He unlocked the door for her but barely leaving his eyes on the screen.Danie entered silently, she was scared to distract the man. Although she couldn't help but throw him a glance from

Danielle thought she was prepared for whatever the consequences of her meeting with James Leith would be. Turned out, in the back of her mind, she wished he wasn't her Uncle. But now that the man whom she ran away from a year ago was standing in front of her, her body involuntarily trembled. Suddenly, the forgotten bits of her past flooded her memory.*** "Uncle!" the sleeping Danielle was very surprised when she woke up because of something heavy over her body.When she opened her eyes, she was met by Justus' lust-filled eyes.Shocked, she pushed him away while trying to avoid the man's kisses. But her strength could not withstand his weight and strength upon her."Uncle!" she cried out in tears. What's happening? Was she having a bad dream?"Shut up, Danielle," he put a hand over her mouth. "Tonight you will be mine," he grinned as if he were a demon.The more she couldn't believe what she heard. She considered this man as her
