The CEO'S Secret Daughter

“Mom…” Her little daughter’s voice was almost gone as she repeatedly called her. Ericka couldn’t take a look at her daughter. She was sick and the nurse was currently taking a blood sample.She was crying but there was nothing that she could do. Her little girl was not feeling well for how many days now and she had no choice but to take her to the hospital.Ericka’s heart was breaking into pieces while she was hearing her child’s voice. The little girl was crying so hard and begging for the nurse to stop from what she was doing.“Mom, please,” the little girl continued to utter.Ericka had no choice but to bring her daughter to the hospital. She had an on and off fever. She was scared that Rica might have a serious condition. Just thinking about it already made her knees weak.Aside from being worried about her daughter’s condition, she also had no money for her daughter’s medication. There was no one that she could lean on when it comes to finances.She took a deep breath when she n

“Shawn! You are just in perfect timing. You are right, dear. My daughter Ericka is back. Come here and join us,” her father said in a lively tone. The happiness that he had felt when she came back couldn’t be denied by the smile on his face and at the same time on his voice.He was smiling at Shawn who was walking towards their direction.But Ericka didn’t bother to look at the man and instead she continued eating her food. She could hear heart pounding so fast. She felt like her ribcage was going to crash because of how hard it was pumping inside her chest.Suddenly, all the last memories that she had with the man flashed back inside her mind and that moment that she saw him kissing and hugging her stepsister suddenly came inside her mind and she couldn’t control the fury that she felt towards him.The two men at the dining table with her were just quietly looking at her. It was very obvious that she was not interested in the man who just arrived while they were having breakfast.She

As she took another scoop of food on her lips, she suddenly felt the eyes of her father. She lifted her head to stare at him before her gaze switched to the man by his side. "On the other hand, I can just ask the driver to drive me to the company." She turns her head back to her father. "Dad, I don't need to come with Shawn. We can just meet there at the office," I retorted after a long while. It was a good thing that she realized that she could actually say the words she wanted to say despite the doubts and fear forming onto the back of my head. Who knows if he might get infuriated by her refusal."Are you sure?" Ericka felt relieved when she noticed the reaction on her father's face. It was a good thing that it didn't bother him that she chose to refuse the offer of hitching a ride with that bastard. For one thing, it could be awkward for the two of them, and two, she just finds him weirdly annoying to a point that she'd like to avoid him no matter what.A smile flashes through

Once Ericka and Nimfa's conversation ended, she finally turned her gaze towards the steering wheel and maneuvered the car back to the road. She steps on the accelerator of the vehicle then drives away from the vacant lot.  Within a few minutes of a car ride, she finally reached buildings as high as the skyscrapers and immediately stopped at an elegant establishment standing at the very center of the city.  Just as she greeted the guards and had one person drive her car towards the parking area, she walks directly to the hallway of the company and lifted her wrist to stare at her watch.  It was exactly eight o'clock in the morning when the employees were staring right at her. Most of them had a surprised look written on their face, unknowing that she is the next heir to the company.  Blinking at the sight of the people, she makes sure that in each and every movement she's doing, sh

A bitter smile was crossing his lips as he slowly opened his mouth to speak. "You are still such a sweet girl, my child," the old man started.  "When you suddenly disappeared, your father…" His eyes slowly turned sad as he looked directly into her eyes. "He had been stressing himself with working, unable to accept what had happened to you and your relationship with him. He chained himself with workload until he ended up sick in bed."  Her heart sank at the words Mr. Gaston said. She couldn't believe that her father had been suffering all along because of her. Guilt started to creep up to her system, unable to bear what she heard.  She bites her lip for a second and with a stunned look, speaks the words, "What do you mean?"  "My child, your father had been dying inside as though you were his world that slowly disappeared from his sight," he explained. "He only comes home to
