TAKEN BY THE CEO CHAPTER 42
Ortega received Samuel’s email to check on someone but he believed that it wasn’t urgent, and his business with Lilian Murillo was more urgent than anything else. He just confirmed that Vanessa was his child and yet the woman didn’t mention anything about it, or demand something from him. He was treated like he was long dead and it made him furious! After lunch, he immediately set off to Oslob to see her, and this time, he would make it sure that she wouldn’t be able to deny his charm or his right for their child. There’s no way that he would allow her to ignore his existence! It was past dinnertime when he arrived in front of their gate and it was Paloma who let him in. “Ortega! Did you leave anything important in our house?” Paloma asked the agency owner who was a VIP on her birthday but the man left in a hurry with his friend Marcus Madrigal. Actually, Paloma still found it hard to believe that Ortega was friends with Daniella’s husband. “Yes, Mother,” Ortega answered

After their mother’s birthday blast, Lilian and Daniella decided to explore the province of Bohol as their first trip together as single mothers. Together, they made a vow not to involve themselves with any son of Eve and just focused on their daughters. With just a backpack of things, they took an airconditioned bus to the town of Argao where they could ride a ferry to Loon Bohol. Daniella has made an arrangement with Hailey Tours for the car rental with the driver as they would need one to explore every town in Bohol and not just the famous tourist destinations. It would have been nice to travel leisurely with the money they got, but Lilian insisted that they should do it as ordinary tourists would. Argao was just approximately a two-hour drive from Oslob and there were regular ferries in Argao. “Are you excited Lil?” Daniella asked as they were on Ceres Bus to Argao. “A little, and a bit scared,” Lilian responded. When Daniella suggested the trip, she agreed as she needed

Alicia was in a foul mood when she woke up. Everything was properly set up and all she had to do was to wait until he was unconscious. Well, he was knocked down before he was able to finish his steak and she thought that she would have him that night…but Samuel came with another bottle of wine. Samuel helped to settle down Marcus in his bedroom and then kept her company until nine in the evening. She threw a bunch of paper into the trash can as she recalled what Samuel told her when he came. Of all the times that he could quarrel with Jessica, why did it happen that night? After the first bottle, Samuel thanked her for being there to keep him company and it was also her boss who took her home…instead of Marcus. Well, there’s still proper timing for everything! Alicia didn’t lose hope even if fate seemed to disagreeable with her. With another ounce of determination, Alicia started doing her job as usual. It was almost lunchtime when someone came with a lunchbox and Alicia

Gerald was grateful to Paloma for telling him where Daniella went to travel with Lilian. He planned to ask her childhood friend on a date without risking their friendship. To like a stranger was preferable to like a close friend. Growing up, he had no idea that love or romance would blossom from their long friendship, although, it was still a one-sided kind of love. Everyone was suspicious of his feelings towards Daniella but why was she so clueless? Could it be because the woman didn’t see him as a man, but just as an extension of her family? He had been thinking about it carefully before he decided to try his luck and he was prepared for the consequences and embarrassment. “Fancy meeting you here, Ella. I can see that this is not a business trip,” he said observation while staring at Daniella’s daughter who was sleeping in the baby carrier. “Yeah, nice to see you, Gerald. What are you doing in Bohol?” The last time she saw him was at Paloma’s party and he didn’t stay fo

He stayed in Oslob for just one night because he realized that he was not good at just waiting. He needed to do something to find her! With the assistance of his whole team, Alexander Ortega was able to trace Lilian’s location. She was in Bohol with her sister Daniella and based on the intel that he gathered, a certain Gerald Sanchez lingered around the woman the detective wasn’t sure whom Gerald was interested in as the man was sweet to both Lilian and Daniella. What was she thinking about going on a trip unchaperoned with a man? When Alexander realized the thoughts that were running through his head, he smirked at himself. It was very unusual for someone like him, a certified playboy, to focus on just one woman, not just a woman, but someone whom he discarded two years ago. If only he wasn’t mean to her before, he wouldn’t need extra patience and determination. He was aware that it would be challenging to win her back, especially when he used to be a bastard, but no, he coul

Gerald was surprised when Lizzy suddenly wanted to meet him and he couldn’t let his chance pass. However, he wanted to see Daniella first before going back to Cebu where Lizzy was. He called her on the phone and invited all of them to have lunch with him at Agotata, a coffee shop in Bohol Beach Club that served food and drinks throughout the day. When he arrived in Agotata, the women were not there yet so he went ahead to order a variety of dishes that they would surely love. Gerald ordered a chicken kebab meal that came with salad, fries, and rice. Pinakbet and garlic were also ordered, along with the clubhouse sandwich which was Daniella’s favorite. The restaurant recommended their burger so he ordered it as well. There was a lot to choose from and he had to ask for recommendations from the staff she recommended the fish with avocado. The meal came with mashed potato and salad. The steak was also ordered as it was also suggested by the same staff. Before all of his orders w

Daniella was too full and sleepy so as soon as she got back into her room, she literally throw herself into the bed, then she plugged the headset into her phone and listened to her favorite music. Her eyes were closed but she was not yet asleep when Lilian came back. After Patty and Thalia went home with their kids, Daniella decided to just share a room with Lilian to solidify their bonding moment as sisters. She heard the click of the handle when Lilian bolted the door and sat down on the edge of the bed. “Aren’t you sleepy?” She asked with her eyes closed when Lilian remained seated after a few moments. “Dani…,” Marcus whispered her name and Daniella sat upright upon learning that it wasn’t Lilian who came into the room but… him! “Marcus! How come you are here?” Daniella asked then it dawned on her that Gerald’s worries could be true. Was it Marcus who staged everything to get her alone? Or was it Lilian? “I told you that you are mine,” he claimed and pinned her down

Lilian squealed in horror when Alexander carried her on his shoulders like her weight of sixty kilograms meant nothing to him. “I’ll scream,” she warned him if she won’t let her down. “Then scream,” he challenged her but he doubt that Lilian would dare to make a scene at the resort, and as expected Lilian kept quiet…but bit his ear instead. Alexander screamed at the pain but didn’t stop walking towards the car he rented and put down the woman in the backseat. “Behave or you will regret it!” He warned Lilian before he went into the driver’s seat and drove away. Ten minutes later, Lilian walked inside BE Grand Resort with Alexander at his side. “Is this kidnapping?” She inquired. “Did I drag you here?” Alexander asked. “No, but you threatened me!” She said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear while inside the elevator. “Did I? Was it a threat when I told you I will ravish you anywhere if you’ll misbehave?” Alexander whispered the words to her
