Chapter LII
Lauro was not her only relative who was laid to rest in that mausoleum. Beside him was Danielle's grandmother whom she hadn't met and her parents.
She paid her respects to them as well before she left. There's still one thing left in her itinerary that day. And for this one, she was excited to see.
"Let's go," she told her driver who immediately drove the car away.
At one glance, it looked like she was alone with her driver in all her activities. But she was not. Bodyguards were accompanying her discreetly.
She didn't want to have them because her driver who was an ex-military man was already her bodyguard. But James insisted that she have them or he would not allow her to go wherever she pleases.
So Danielle agreed. In one condition that they don't get too close to her.
"But remember, you cannot keep that kind of setup anymore once I introduce you to the public. You aren't just some normal citizen, Danielle. You're a

"How's Loukas?"Danielle asked Joseph the moment she entered her office.And she wasn't referring to a person. Loukas was her baby project. It's an island she bought and named Loukas.Actually, it's Loukas Island with a tagline that goes like 'the bringer of light in my life', which was pretty much the meaning of the name Lucas. Loukas is Lucas in Greek.Later on, she developed Loukas into an exclusive beach resort available only to the rich and famous and up to ten of their family members.Everything from the tiniest to the elaborate details was Danielle's idea and she was happy because James said that she did great. That if Lauro were still alive, he would be proud of her.Danielle was happy because she really wanted to impress James. She wanted him to be proud of the girl he raised. And because she was hoping that James and Myrna would stay by her side forever as her family.But all in all, Lucas was really her inspiration. She mis

"I think we need to cancel reservations at least one day before the event," James said as they were doing final touches to her birthday celebration next week."Can we do that? But the bookings were already confirmed," Danielle replied."We can offer them something for the inconvenience. Just like an extended stay if they would choose to rebook," as he said that, he messaged Joseph to bring him the list of the guests for next week. "Or a free cancellation fee."Danielle pondered about it for a while. "Ain't it going to ruin the reputation of the Island this early?""No, of course not. Matters like this can easily be resolved with just a little extra. Besides, we don't want to risk the safety of your guests.""I don't understand, Uncle. Aren't we catering to socialites only? Why would there be any threat? Besides, I believe that the security is enough," Danie express her thoughts."We opened it up to ten guests of each member, Danielle. I don'

"Come on! Ain't nobody gonna bring my bag for me?"Lucas looked back and laughed at Esther who was left beside the van with her huge luggage.“Oh, Lord, I have four brothers and not even one is a gentleman to carry his poor sister’s bag,” she continued complaining while looking up.He looked at his other siblings who pretended they did not hear Esther. Levi, of course, was already occupied by Myrtle. Elijah was on the phone and Ezekiel was wearing his headset. His gaze landed on their parents’ next. They were also looking at him but did not say anything but a smile was gracing their lips. They were telling him without saying anything that he takes care of their youngest family member.Lucas walked back towards his complaining sister and took her bag. “Why on earth did you bring so much with you?” he complained when he realized that her bag was heavy.&ld

Danielle was busy inside the admin office of Loukas Island when James arrived so she was not able to welcome him and Myrna.But James understood and told her not to think about it."How is the preparation going?" he asked while looking at Danie's anxious face."Everything is fine, Uncle. The other VIPs have already started arriving since yesterday. Oh, by the way, who took the flight with you today?"He did not answer as he was planning to talk to Lucas tonight first. He didn't think the man in Danielle's heart would already have a girlfriend.If that was the case, then he could not allow him to see Danielle. He would just hurt his precious niece.But James was still hopeful that Olivia was not Lucas' girlfriend. Based on his reaction, he believed that maybe the woman lied to him. When he was canceling Olivia Robert's booking, she asked about Lucas and told him that she was with him and just booked separately.It might have been his f

The party would be starting at exactly six o'clock in the evening.But at five o'clock, Danielle was already glammed up. She was wearing a stunning rose gold-colored gown that flaunts sophistication in the real meaning of the word.Danielle made sure that her designer would adhere to the values she learned while she was with the Del Fierros.The Del Fierros.Danielle sighed sadly at the thought of them. She really missed them. Do they still remember her?She misses Miriam's cooking, Rev. Marcus' words of wisdom, Dr. Levi, of course. How's he doing with Myrtle? Are the twins Elijah and Ezekiel making Esther's life difficult by guarding her to heart? Would she be able to get a boyfriend?What about Jio, Aunt Tabitha, and Uncle?'Stop it, Danielle. Don't fool yourself anymore. The one you miss the most is Lucas. Why don't you just listen to Nanny Evelyn and make things easier? You know where to find him...'True. But, she doesn't

The first time Lucas saw Dana, she was lying helplessly on a hospital bed. Tubes were connected to her body and her lower extremities were wrapped heavily in gauze. But he didn't feel an ounce of pity for her. All he wanted to do that time was to kill her with his bare hands.He hated her so much. He saw her as a curse. Yet because of his family, he still helped to keep her secret safe despite her unwillingness to tell him the truth about the accident.Lucas thought that he would never forgive her. But when he spent time with her, his heart opened up for forgiveness. And not only that, he feared losing Dana. That when her past caught up with her because of his wrong decision to bring her to the city, he willingly laid everything he had got just to keep her safe.In the end, his efforts were in vain as Dana decided to protect him instead. As a man who failed, it was a blow to his ego that in reality, what he had was not enough to make Dana trust him and sta

The following day, Danielle got busy sending off the VIPs. She hadn't seen Lucas yet and she wondered in her heart if he forgot that he promised to see her again. Although, she was also somehow thankful for the delay in confrontation."Are you leaving as well?" Danielle frowned at James and Myrna who looked like they're included in the first batch of guests to leave the island."I left loads of work in the office. It's probably piling up now," James answered."Aunt Myrna, why is Uncle so workaholic? And he won't even allow you to stay and relax here for a few days," she complained, hoping Myrna would back her up and then James would decide to stay."You know your Uncle. Work is his life. Let him be. Besides, I

The next thing Danielle knew, it was just her and Lucas standing by the seashore. She found herself staring at her feet which she had already freed from her shoes, enjoying the stroke of shallow waves. “So, this is the kind of life that you grew up with,” Lucas said after a short while of silence. His both hands were inside his pant’s pocket and his gaze was to the vast ocean before them. “If you meant luxury, then, yes. I was born with a golden spoon. Really, I’ve always gotten every material thing I wanted,” she answered, casting him a glance. Before they parted three years ago, they started having calm conversations like this. The most beautiful part was when Lucas said that he already forgave her. She could still remember how they sealed their friendship by shaking their left hands instead of their right hands that were both injured. She remembered the times when she badly wanted to stay with him but had no choice but to leave.
