Chapter XIX
'Take today as a leave.'
Lucas sent her a message shortly after she woke up. It was like he knew that she just regain consciousness.
'Ace will be there to send you home.'
'Thank you, Mr. Del Fierro,' Danie messaged back. She wanted to say she can manage. But thinking about it, it was his fault that she was hospitalized again. He must pay for her bills.
It was lunch time when Ace arrived.
"Were you able to call Mr. Leith?" Danie asked. This morning, she had asked him a favor to call the owner of Fleur on her behalf.
"I did. But I was just able to talk to his wife. She said that Mr. Leith was rushed to the hospital last Saturday. He's not yet discharged up to now," Ace answered.
"It's so hard to set an appointment with him," Danie was disappointed because she did her best in setting that dinner appointment tonight. Only to end up n

"What are you doing?"Danielle almost lost her balance when Lucas appeared out of the blue. She was trying to walk without her crutches while leaning her hand against the wall for occasional support."Aren't you supposed to be resting?" he asked again. Apparently, the real owner of her unit barged in again without knocking first. Lucas looked like he came straight from the office as he was still wearing his suit."I'm exercising my legs," she answered, a matter of fact before reaching for her crutches again. "What brought you here, Mr. Del Fierro?""I brought you food. Thought you might be too weak to go out and eat. Turned out, you're good as new," he shrugged his shoulders as he put the paper bag of take out food on the table."Is this your way of saying sorry?" Danie felt a little happy in her heart. But she maintained a poker face as she said those words."I know how to recognize my mistake, Dana. And I admit that this

"When would Mr. Leith be available then, Mr. Yu?" Danie called Fleur's office but was only able to talk to the owner's right hand man."As per his wife, he's still recuperating. But don't worry Dana, once he gets back to work, I'll inform you at once.""Thanks. I would really appreciate that, Mr. Yu --""Wait, wait. I thought I've already made it clear to you. Drop the formalities, okay? Just call me Winston," the arrogant man on the other line said."I'm sorry if I keep forgetting, Winston," she answered. The truth was, she wasn't comfortable talking to him. He's way too arrogant. But she didn't have much choice as he's the only person who could help her get an appointment with James Leith."When are you going to let me see you? I'm totally in love with your voice. I bet you're d*mn beautiful and sexy-- "Winston was still blabbering something but Danie's attention was no longer with him. Lucas Del Fierro was standing in front of her table

"Dana, I'm running late. Could you please call Mr. Leith?" Drew called to ask a favor. "Just keep it quiet so the CEO won't know, okay?""You're putting me into trouble. Why do you have to be late today of all days, Drew?" Danie complained but she already grabbed the directory to look up for the number of James Leith."I know, I'm sorry. Emergency at home," Drew seemed to be running. "I'll owe you this one. Got to go."Danie sighed. She was calling Mr. Leith's direct number. Hopefully, he would be the one to answer and not Winston Yu.The phone was not picked up on her first attempt. But she should try again or else, if the Fleur's owner doesn't show up again, Drew would have to explain to Lucas.Fortunately, the call got connected on the second ring.It was the wife of Mr. Leith, she told her to wait because the man was still getting dressed.So, she patiently waited. While waiting, she was doing a final checking of Lucas' schedules

'You can do it, Danielle. Just a little bit more.'Danie kept practicing walking without her crutches. She was determined to walk normally again. She needed to be fit at least or else, how would she be able to run if her life becomes in danger again?She had no one to rely on this time. She didn't have bodyguards to protect her, no drivers to help her escape, most of all, no Jane and Ruth who would help her despite the danger it might bring them.But she wasn't looking for people to sacrifice for her again. Because if there's one thing that she could change in the past, it was causing people to lose their lives because of her."What do you need the address for, Dana?" Ace asked.The next morning, Danie asked Drew for the office address of Fleur Apparel. But Ace heard her request. Knowing that he witnessed what happened to her the other day, Danie could feel that he was somew

Danielle could almost hear her heartbeat. Every time Lucas' fingers would touch her skin, she would feel some sort of electric current flowing through her veins.'What is going on? Why am I feeling this way?'"What were you doing in that place, Dana?" Lucas looked up to her when he was done putting an ointment on her left foot.Although Danie fell on Lucas' body, she still hurt her foot. It was nothing serious, just a bruise. But Lucas insisted they put something to relieve the pain. And that's why when they came back to her unit, he immediately attended to it gently.And that gesture left Danie dumbfounded and confused. Why would Lucas be concern about her?"I don't remember approving any leave of absence. Did you file any?""I wasn't feeling well this morning. I asked Ace and Drew if I can take an afternoon leave," she looked away from his inquisitive gaze. "I was hungry and I wanted to eat in that restaurant."
Forgive Me, Mr. CEO Chapter XXV
Danie went too far in thinking that it would just be her and Lucas. Because when they arrived at the restaurant, Ace and Drew were already there.Turned out, Lucas called for a meeting. Worst, he scolded the two men for allowing her to go on leave without informing him. Danielle felt like a silly child causing her two older brothers to get reprimanded by their father."Sir, Dana wasn't feeling well," Ace tried to reason. Of course, he would be the only one who had the guts to reason out. He knew Lucas too well."Does she look like she's not feeling well to you?" Lucas glared at Ace. "Do you know that because you allowed her to go without my permission, she almost got into a serious accident?""I'm sorry, Sir," Ace had to quit reasoning this time. He had no idea of what happened to Dana but since his boss was acting like this, he would just save his questions to Dana herself."Sorry? Can your sorry take a life back from the d

According to the news, Lauro Williams' condition wasn't getting better for the last six months. Doctors attending to the old Billionaire were no longer sure why he stayed comatose despite everything in his body being normal. They're already attributing the unexplained case to his old age.While that could be true, Danielle was still doubtful knowing that one year ago, before Justus went missing and returning like a completely different person, everything was okay with her grandfather's health. If Justus went as far as killing his only niece that he raised, it was not impossible that he also had a hand on his father's sudden cardiac arrest that eventually led to his comatose state.Danie wanted to come out and go back to save her grandfather. But how would she do that?Just now, she had to return to her unit because the security didn't allow her to go out of the building.

Forgive Me, Mr. CEO Chapter XXVII

They were always very busy with work and neither she nor her achievements successfully got their attention.She was very busy chasing familial love. She never once thought of trying to find love from someone else. She did have suitors. She was Danielle Williams, after all. Even though they knew not of her status as the Williams Group of Companies' sole heiress, she still had that aura of a rich beautiful lady.But she didn't go after the love of someone else, thus, at twenty-five, she never once experienced romantic love.
