The CEO's illegitimate daughter

I was born and taken to an orphanage while still an infant. Mrs Hope, the orphanage caretaker, noticed me and developed an immediate soft spot for me. I had no idea who my parents were until I was a young adult, and I never asked her about them, nor did she open her mouth to tell me the truth."Hello, good morning." Mrs. Hope wakes me up with a soft kiss on my cheeks and places my breakfast on top of the wooden table. She never enters my bedroom in the morning without bringing my meal.Today is the date of my job interview. Mrs. Hope has been rooting for the interview to go well from the start.I want this job so I can finally get my own apartment and leave the orphanage. After breakfast, I grabbed the CV from the table, kissed Mrs Hope on the cheek, and dashed to the interview in less than an hour.The traffic today was less congested than it was yesterday. The secretary called my name, and thankfully, I arrived on time and answered."Are you Daniella?" She called. "Yes, madam."

It was shocking to learn that my boss was previously married to another woman, and even more unbelievable that he remembers his wife through me. Am I really a splitting image of his previous wife?..I returned the bracelet simply to console him. I did not want to reject his offer rudely and end up hurting him.I went back to my bedroom, removed my shoes, and went to freshen up. Mrs. Hope called me a few hours later, excited to hear that I had moved in; however, her excitement faded when I told her what happened with the house agent and how I came to live with my boss, Mr Woods.I had hoped she would be overjoyed with the news, but Mrs. Hope panicked over the phone. She instructed me to find a place to stay as soon as possible and leave the CEO's home.The way she took everything personally made me believe that nothing was as it seemed; Mrs Hope knew something about the CEO, or did everything have to do with my birth?To avoid bothering her, I agreed to leave the CEO's house and search

Mr Woods became enraged as soon as he saw me serving drinks to the guests. He took a step forward, grabbed my hand, and forced me into the kitchen."Who asked you to serve beverages to my guests?" He took the tray and placed it on top of the table."Oh! "What about your wife?" I responded by making it sound like a question. "Really? Has she lost her mind? He screamed, veins popping out of his head, before storming out to meet with his wife. Seeing Mr Woods upset with his wife was the last thing I wanted, which is why I did not want to cause a scene by telling him in the first place.I saw Mr Woods talking to his wife, and their facial expressions indicated that they were arguing about me."Hey, how are things going?" Before approaching me, Julia noticed them fighting as well."When Mr. Woods learned that his wife had asked me to serve, he became upset." I responded to her query while continuing to stare at them both."Whoa! Daniella, you would better hope that Mrs. Edwina does

The following day in school, Mr Kent wanted us to go for a school trip at the fountain. And that was a place where things happen, people go missing and most especially, they're found dead. I didn't want Hannah to come with me to school a place, however, the place way to protect her was to also attend the school impromptu trip.. We got there and the tour began, I made sure to hold Hannah's hand as we approached the fountain and behind; there was an old and beaten down cottage. Everyone seem to notice that and out of all to ask, it was Hannah. " Sir, what's in there?". She said and still pointed at the cottage.. Mr Kent immediately changed the subject, and then asked us to continue the tore. The student in front of me left and Just as I held Hannah's hand, she pulled away.. " Wait! What happened?". I turned and asked her.. " Let's go check out the cottage?". She again pointed at the same place . " What? Why do you want to, it's dangerous?". I attempted holding her hand aga

The next morning, when I arrived downstairs dressed for work, Mr Woods and his sons were alone at breakfast, and Mrs Edwina was nowhere to be found.Good morning, Daniella. As I approached the empty chair opposite Simon, Mr. Woods turned his head to look at me."Good morning, Sir." I sat down, and Julia came forward to serve me breakfast."Sir, I have not seen your wife; did she go out for work?" After Julia stepped back, I turned to Mr. Woods and inquired about his wife.It was strange that she was not found at the breakfast table this morning."Oh, I think so, but she mentioned going to the hospital for a checkup." He let it all out."Hospital? Is mom okay?" Adam veered and asked his father, eager to learn more."Yeah, she is fine, just getting her regular checkup." He responded to the question. Mr. Woods and I left for the office.However, before leaving, Samuel asked if he could accompany us.His father was delighted with the news and invited him to sit next to Zack, who was drivi
