TAKEN BY THE CEO CHAPTER 74
Daniella didn’t believe when Marcus told him that he had no relationship with Alicia. No woman in her right mind would just kiss anyone she met for the first time, and she was not blind at all! She saw it how Alicia clung to Marcus as she missed her so much! “Do you take me as a fool?” She screamed and attacked the man by scratching his face! “Dani stopped it!” Marcus tried to elude her attacks but Daniella decided to transform herself into an a****n warrior. “So tell me who is she? How did you know her? Did you keep in touch with her so that she knew where you are?” There were still a lot of questions running through her head and she wanted to ask him everything! She was too angry that she felt like her heart would explode any moment or she would break down in tears! However, before she would let her tears fall down, she would get every piece of information that she could get from Marcus. “Fine, but can we talk about it in private?” He said and proposed to Daniella that

Paloma and Philip rushed to the district hospital where Lilian was taken, and while on the way, they were anxious and uneasy. “Let me drive the car for you,” Philip offered as he noticed that her hands were shaking and she was nervous behind the wheel. “No, I can manage. Anyway, the hospital is just nearby.” Paloma refused his offer and glared at the man for inadvertently causing a misunderstanding about Lilian and Alexander’s parentage. “If you were not stupid to just sit there and corrected me, things like these would never happen.” Paloma started to blame Philip for Lilian’s attempted suicide. Philip was exasperated as he listened to the woman’s outburst. “How could you put the blame on me when I didn’t do anything wrong? It was you and your damn assumptions!”Philip fought back and scowled at Paloma for singlehandedly blaming him for everything. “Bastard!” she cursed at Philip as she continued to maneuver the car towards the hospital. She couldn’t blame Lilian

Gerald waited until they reached home before he confronted Alicia about the kiss. He was too furious and humiliated at the same time when Alicia caused the scene at Daniella’s house. He went there with good intentions as Daniella’s friend, but Alicia did something horrible. “How did you know her husband?” He started by asking how she got acquainted with Marcus Madrigal. “Oh, we used to work together on the farm.” Alicia crossed her legs as soon as she was seated on an upholstered sofa. “You used me!” Gerald accused the woman of using his hospitality to be close to Daniella’s boyfriend. No, he couldn’t allow it! Gerald thought. If Alicia would stay longer in Oslob, he couldn’t guarantee that the woman wouldn’t do something stupid similar to what happened earlier. Alicia didn’t try to persuade Gerald about his accusation because it was true. She just used him to get close to Marcus and she was not going to deny it. “Common Gerald, just consider it as doing me a great favor

After their fight, Marcus took Daniella towards the greenhouse, a special place to calm down her raging desire to scratch his eyes. “Can you trust me to deal with Alicia?” He asked before they sat down on a bench that was customized to be placed near her workstation for flower arrangement. “To be honest, I’m not sure if I can trust you with it. Maybe you should just let me handle your affair,” she offered. Just the thought of Daniella confronting or challenging Alicia made him shiver. “Or maybe we should set a date for our wedding to stop Alicia from taking me away from you,” he counteroffered. “Do you think that a wedding ceremony can stop her? If I am in her shoes, no ceremony can stop me from claiming what belongs to me, and in one or another, she and I are so alike!” She responded. Her response didn’t make him happy. When he asked her hand to marry him, although she said yes, there was no date yet, and he started to wonder what was stopping the woman from set

Daniella ran towards Lilian’s room and she was surprised to see Philip Madrigal and Edwin Sanchez together with Paloma in the lobby. “Good evening everyone,” she greeted them. “Ella! I’m glad that you’re here! Can you talk with Lilian? The brat refused to see us!” Paloma expressed her frustrations that Lilian didn’t give her the chance to correct her mistake. Her daughter wouldn’t even let her speak even a single word! Daniella nodded and proceed inside. “Lil? Are you awake?” She asked as soon as she closed the door behind her but Lilian didn’t respond right away. She waited patiently until she stirred from her bed and opened her eyes. “Ella…,” she whispered her sister’s name before Lilian let her tears flow freely. What she learned today was heartbreaking and she wasn’t strong enough to bear the sad news. Daniella pulled the chair and put it beside Lilian’s bed. “You can tell me what’s hurting you, Lil.” Her voice was tender as she convinced Lilian to share her b

It had been days already since she was discharged from the hospital but Lilian continued to be distant from her parents. Paloma's mother pressured her to accept and acknowledge the presence of Philip Madrigal, but she just couldn’t do it! Not yet… As she was alone in the living room and had no one to talk to, she got herself occupied by staring at the beautiful paintings on the wall, and she was mesmerized for the nth time that everything in Daniella’s house was perfect and well-designed, but she missed her less complicated life in the island. Lilian took a deep breath as more thoughts came into her mind. She wanted this and that, but she couldn’t make up her mind and it just annoyed her even more! “Pumpkin, what are you doing here alone?” Alexander smiled at Lilian whose expression told him that something was bothering her. “Just take it easy, Lian, I know it’s hard and shocking, but, you can’t continue doing this.” “I am fine Alexander, and happy too, because

She was temporarily out of her mind and Alicia scolded herself for losing focus on her ultimate goal to take Marcus away from Daniella. From the window of the inn she was staying, she admired the exquisite view of the countryside. Last night, something terrible almost happened between her and Gerald’s father, and she didn’t know if she had to thank Edwin for being able to control his desire when he kicked her out of his house afterward. Her nostrils flared as she recalled that embarrassing moment when she almost gave her body to that man and he had the nerve to humiliate her! Alicia took a deep breath to calm down her nerves and reminded herself that everything happened for a reason and she should consider Edwin’s rejection as a blessing in disguise! Her body, heart, and soul should only be dedicated to Marcus Madrigal and no one else. While having a cup of coffee, she racked her brain to come up with a plan on how she could convince Marcus that she was a better deal com

“Hello my love,” Daniella greeted the newcomer who was surprised to see her there, calmly sitting in one of the chairs. “Surprise!” She jested, but her eyes shot daggers at the man whom she trusted but only betrayed her! “Dani, it’s not what you think.” Marcus tried to explain that he didn’t visit Alicia for something else but to help her, however, Daniella refused to listen and the way she looked at him – means the end. Alicia observed that Daniella didn’t utter even a single word in front of Marcus. She must be furious that she caught her boyfriend visiting another woman…in a private room! Ah, Daniella must have preferred to just die! “I was worried that you will not come,” Alicia said and closed the distance between her and Marcus, then she kissed on the lips, even if Daniella was there, watching with two rounded eyes. Marcus pushed Alicia away but it was too late. Daniella had already assumed the worst and Alicia fueled it even more. “Tell her the truth, Alicia!’ Ma
