TAKEN BY THE CEO CHAPTER 79
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

Daniella read his message but didn’t bother to type a response and turned off her phone in the meantime. She was still confused. She wanted to believe him that he didn’t cheat on her, but Daniella had doubts after she witnessed them kissing not just once but twice. She believed that if the other woman was confident to do it in front of anyone else, how much more when they were alone? Daniella took a deep breath as she seeks for comfort from the tiny human being that was lying in her bed. “Aj,” she called for her daughter's name, and then she could no longer control her tears from falling down. For hours, she stayed beside her daughter and waited for AJ to wake up. She wanted to tell her daughter how painful it was to witness the most precious man in her life kissing another woman. Daniella just needed t drain the weight of being betrayed in her heart to be able to move on, and she didn’t want to bother Lilian about her problems. “Mama…,” As soon as Daniella hear

Daniella had no idea what was going on but Paloma being the head of their family issued an order that they should dress appropriately for dinner and she just shrugged off her shoulders noting that another visit would be coming to join the. She was not in the mood for a family gathering of any kind, but she couldn’t say no to Paloma. When Paloma personally informed her about the dress code, she knew that what was going to happen later was important for her stepmother. In front of her vanity mirror, she took extra caution in applying her make-up, especially when she was doing her eyes. She didn’t want the liquid eyeliner to smudge because if that would happen, she would have to redo her make-up and it would take her a long time. It was not an everyday routine for Daniella to put on some make-up but if she feel like going bold or dramatic, she knew how to achieve it. In high school, she used to be interested in make-up that her vanity table was full of assorted make-up for any e

Marcus was frustrated that the misunderstanding between him and Daniella had become a family affair and he was furious at his father for believing the worst in him! Before the situation could worsen, he dialed Samuel’s phone number to seek some advice. He waited for Samuel to pick up his phone but it was Jessica’s voice he heard as soon as the call was connected. “Hello, Jess. Is Samuel there?” He asked. “Hi Marcus, it’s been a while. My husband is still in the shower, would you like to leave a message or should I ask him to return your call?” Jessica suggested. “Hmmm, just tell him to call me back once he’s free to do so. Thank you, Jess.” He let Samuel’s wife disconnect their call first because he believed that it was rude if he would just press the end button after he was informed that Samuel was still occupied. While waiting for Samuel’s call, Marcus paced back and forth inside the room. He was worried that Daniella wouldn’t be able to calm down and continued to

Daniella regretted her decision to wait until morning before she would compromise and talk with Marcus. If only she wasn’t hesitant with her decision right after she and Lilian finished their conversation at the swing. If only she wasn’t puffed with pride, she would still be able to see him. There were several what if’s running through her head and if she wouldn’t let go of her feelings, she felt like she would explode at any minute. However…it was easier said than done! A heart-clenching sob could be heard throughout the hall as Daniella lost her cool and squatted on the floor while she released the pain and sadness after she found out that Marcus was no longer in the guest room. His luggage was missing too and it could only mean one thing – he was gone! “Ella, what’s wrong?” Lilian was cozy with Alexander in the living room when they heard Daniella’s cry from the second floor. She immediately ran towards the stairs, and she found Daniella on the floor in front of the gues

After breakfast, Daniella packed a few sets of clothes that she could take in her adventure to bring back Marcus. She took several deep breaths to calm down her nerves because to be honest, she felt nervous even if she was still at home. She already instructed Patty to watch out for AJ, and Lilian to supervise everything while she was gone for a few days. It was ten on her wristwatch when she started the engine of her car then she was off to go. Behind the wheel, she drove carefully because she didn’t want to rush her arrival especially when she needed more time to think about things that she should tell Marcus. It took her six hours to reach the entrance of Hacienda Velasquez. For a while, she parked her car on the side because she was scared. What if he would find him with Alicia on the farm? However, there’s no assurance yet that Marcus was really on the farm, and it was just her first stop in searching for him. Daniella was hopeful that Marcus was staying with the Velasq
