Chapter 42 - In Memory Of...
~ Daniella ~
Fire.
A thick wall of it in the main foyer welcomed me and Erik when we reached the grand staircase. A quarter of the north wing facade had been destroyed leaving me to catch a glimpse of the garden wreck outside. Black smoke belched out from the rubble and whipped like a tornado in every direction. The atmosphere turned hot because of it. Very hot and it screamed a promise of suffocation.
Panic climbed up my throat just seeing the situation before me, but Erik looked unaffected. He gripped my hand even tighter and pulled me to manage the stairs.
He must have gone out of his mind, but with Nikola and Hyde possibly seeing us when we passed the open door of the drawing room, it was understandable. There were no other options available but to move forward.
With my free hand, I covered my mouth to block out the thick smoke. Erik seemed too engrossed with getting us out that he didn’t care d

~ Daniella ~Nikola, if he somehow survived the mansion’s explosion and fire, must have been bidding his time. For five consecutive days, not one news of him or Iopata arrived. It was as if the man never existed. Karl had been constantly on surveillance with Iopata’s associates, but nothing significant came to the Club’s attention. With Sergio Svaneti gone, it was possible that Iopata had gone down too, six feet below the ground with its evil and destructive ways.But amidst the lack of threat, Erik’s recent possessive attention on me had quadrupled. Well, he was already one before but since the events in the Iopata Mansion, he had not let his guard down.Just as he said, he made me stay in his underground office, which by the way was an understatement. The office looked like a bachelor’s pad complete with everything a normal house needed. There was a kitchen equipped with the necessary materials and appliances for cooking. There we

~ Erik ~Death had circulated my life since I was born. First was my mother, second were the strangers that Hyde had killed, and third were the Iopata dogs that I killed during our Club operations. I had known of death, too acquainted with it even that seeing a lifeless body unaffected me.The death of Rohan as expected didn’t have that much impact amidst him being a good friend of mine, but it reminded me greatly about what Daniella, my precious Sweet Rose, would soon face if she continues to get tangled up with the dealings of the Club.She was already drawn into danger because of Nikola. Experienced considerable amount of trauma due to what happened in the Iopata Mansion and Rohan. I don’t want those to happen again.Shit. I don’t want her to suffer or get hurt again.That exactly is the reason why I kept any news from her regarding Iopata and Nikola. I had instructed Karl, Vincent and the others
Mr. Rude President's Secret Chapter 45 - Somewhat of An End
~ Daniella ~It was the second day in the hospital when I opened my eyes. The first face that greeted me then was my mother, holding my hand that was free of an intravenous line. She sobbed quite vigorously. I had to try to calm her through a squeeze of my fingers on her flushed cheek. We talked after she quieted down and I was informed of everything with regards to my condition.Miraculously, I survived the car crash without any fatal injuries aside from some glass lacerations in my legs, bruises, a broken left wrist and a head concussion. The doctors wanted to make sure everything of my body processes were stable so they needed me on hospital bedrest for the next two weeks together with my scheduled wrist surgery.I was fine with that and stayed as per recommendation, but as the days passed by I noticed something was missing.Not one Club member visited me.No Erik, Vincent, Karl, Alec, Enrique, A
Mr. Rude President's Secret Fancy Pants Epilogue
~ Daniella ~“Come guys! It is a group picture now!” Standing beside the podium, I shouted, straining my voice enough so that all Fancy Pants members could hear. Hired by Suri and Amano to be their wedding event coordinator, I had contacted a famous photographer in L.A. to capture the video and photos during the private event. The line-up of picture taking starting from the small entourage, parents and relatives had just finished. Now, it was the Club’s turn.Vincent, Karl and Alec were already in the dais, congratulating the newlyweds while Enrique was busily talking to one bridesmaid who was Suri’s distant cousin.Erik was sitting in one of the front pews in the chateau chapel, silent and rather too relaxed. Of all of the members, he was the one who hadn’t stood up and expressed his greetings. Well, at least not yet as Suri and Amano had been continuously surrounded by the jovial crowd.I straightened and rested a

Mr. Rude President's Secret Chapter 1: The One Who is Bedazzled
~ Daniella ~“Put me down!” I yelled, my voice straining, but my order fell on deaf ears as the stranger continued to lift me as if I weighed nothing and marched down the stairs of the center stage.I flung my hand in the air and squirmed from his hold, but he tightened his arms even more, insisting the bridal-style position he had put me in.“Put me down I say!” I ordered again, this time feeling myself in panic yet in deep blush.We passed the spacious dance hall, disregarding the look of surprise in my team’s eyes. I gave them a silent look of help, but it seemed they were too engrossed with the drama that they failed to see my desperation.“Wrap that damn wound of yours with the end of your blazer, woman. I don’t want it dripping blood in the floor, ” he grounded without looking at me.His face, although fine-looking, was set in a hard scowl. He was angry over something or proba
Mr. Rude President's Secret Chapter 2 - When All is Perfect Except One
Oh, God. He knows my name! He knows my name!Wait. Why does that stranger know my name?I asked myself that a couple of times already since I returned in my guest suite. After having myself treated inside that clinic -slash- spa, I thought I wouldn’t get haunted by thoughts of that manipulative guy, but I guess I was wrong.God, his glittery face kept on poking at my brain telling me to do this and to do that. What the heck! Who is that man anyway? Why does he boss me around and why does he know my name?There, I asked it again...Anyway, I am standing now in front of a full-length mirror assessing myself. Many of my friends say that I am gifted with a curvaceous body. They said to flaunt them whenever necessary and to flaunt them with the right dress. That’s the reason why I’m wearing a white lace knee-length dress now. The neckline is low but just enough to provide a small peek of my clea
Mr. Rude President's Secret Chapter 3 - Sweet, Delicious Revenge
As I saw him approach my table, I felt heat rush my face. My heartbeat quickened, my back tensed and my feet shot tingles up my leg. The people around me seemed to disappear and all that’s left is this man looking at me with an unreadable face.For a moment, even though the light was dim, I saw his brows twitch and his eyes thinned as he saw me, but it was so brief, so fast that it felt like I was just dreaming it. When he arrived in the table, he didn’t care so much as to say ‘hi’ or ‘hello’ or even some damn greeting to acknowledge my presence. He just walked straight and sat in his seat that was at least two chairs away from me.I gulped hard. I wonder if he still remembers me and that incident we had this afternoon.“Ah, so Ms. Wild Woman is my escort, ” he then said without a head’s up.Yup, he still remembers me alright! But of all the nicknames he could pick out, why that?I hauled a deep bre
