TAKEN BY THE CEO CHAPTER 61
For a month, everything went well with Marcus and Daniella. There was never a time that they argued over something and they were very happy to be with each other, however, Marcus had to go back to Hacienda Velasquez to formally resign from his job. The town of Oslob has become popular because of the whale sharks and he discussed with Daniella a possible business venture that would cater to the unlimited number of tourists coming into their town. They could become partners where he would finance all the costs regarding its development while Daniella would let him use their beach and the vineyard. It was still an idea that has to be considered thoroughly after he resigned from the farm. “You can come with me to the farm and I will introduce you to my friend and his wife,” Marcus invited Daniella to go with him to the farm. “I would love to, but maybe some other time.” She refused because she believed that his friends would be surprised to see her and she didn’t want to i

Daniella heard him very well however she didn’t know what to tell him. She was still hurting so much that she would break down if she would open her mouth to speak. “You lied to me,” she said after a few minutes of gathering all her courage and strength. “I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you right away. You see, I’m waiting for the right time.” He explained but she shook her head as if she disagreed with his explanation. He should have told her everything about his first family, but he let assumed that Veronica was just his dead girlfriend. “When is the right time, Marcus?” She asked in a voice that accused him of being a liar from the start. She refused to believe that the same man was allowed to hurt for the second time. It was very insulting that she gave him the opportunity to hurt her again! Angrily, she freed herself from his tight embrace. “Tell me, was it also a lie when you said that you love me?” “I didn’t lie about my feelings for you Dani. In fact, I’m going to -”

Gerald decided to eat his breakfast ahead of Lizzy when the woman failed to show herself after seven in the morning. The food he ordered from Jollibee would be best eaten while it was still hot so he felt a little guilty after his first bite of the breakfast steak and he couldn’t take another bite without waking up the woman. Disgruntled, he walked towards her bedroom and knocked on her door. It was after several try that he discovered that the door wasn’t locked so he got inside while calling for her name. “Lizzy? Breakfast is ready, common.” He called but the woman was still lying in bed and her body was covered in a thick blanket from head to toe. He grinned that Lizzy had the common sense to cover herself or freeze from the cold with the kinky outfit she wore last night. Gerald tugged the blanket away from Lizzy to stir her from sleep, and stood frozen upon seeing her sleeping form underneath the sheet! He should have turned around and closed his eyes but his feet didn’t want

He was only gone for a few days but Daniella felt that it was like they were separated for a year or more. She wanted to see him badly but she had to wait for two more days before he would come back. From the window of her bedroom, Daniella could see Lilian and Alexander playing with their daughter. Her stepsister’s eyes beamed with happiness when she was with Alexander but Lilian continued to deny her true feelings towards the man. In fairness to Alexander, he was handsome enough to make any woman swoon with just his presence. She hoped that sooner or later, Lilian would own up to her feelings and let Alexander become part of her life once again. After she reconciled with Marcus, she wanted everyone she knew to be happy, just like her. When Marcus went back to the farm, Daniella tightened the security in their house because she was scared that someone terrible enough to hurt them would be able to gain access to their estate. No, she couldn’t risk the safety of her family, esp

On the night before his scheduled arrival, Daniella found it hard to sleep. Her heart was very excited to see him again and it was beating hard like a drum. It was almost midnight when she was forced to close her eyes and sleep. She was almost lost in oblivion when her phone rang and although she was sleepy, she still answered the call. “Yes?” “Guess who?” Her sleepiness was instantly gone and she sat upright to talk with the caller. “Where have you been? I couldn’t reach you for a few days,” she asked. Daniella was transparent and frank and those were some of the qualities Marcus adored in her. He didn’t have to guess because she would always let him know if she was happy, sad, or angry. “Can you do something for me, sweetheart?” He ordered Daniella to go to the huge acacia tree near the greenhouse to pick up something that he probably dropped in there. He thought that the woman would hesitate to leave her room because it was already in the middle of the night, but then

She didn’t bother to close the drapes in her window last night and Lilian woke up to the rays of sunlight getting into her room. It was already late and she was angry but Alexander was still lying on the sofa bed and the man looked like he was soundly sleeping. Lilian got up from her bed and went to stir Alexander from his sleep. “Hey! Why are you still sleeping when it’s already time to prepare my breakfast?” She raised her voice while kicking his legs to wake him up. Alexander woke up with a terrible headache and he couldn’t move his muscles. It was sore and he shivered in cold but Lilian forced him to open his eyes. “Good morning, beautiful.” Even when he was not feeling well, he didn’t forget to greet the woman who meant everything to him. “What’s good in the morning when I’m hungry and you’re still here?” She snapped at Alexander. With all the frustrations building up inside her, Lilian was back to being mean especially with Alexander. He had no choice but to ge
