บททั้งหมดของ Forgive Me, Mr. CEO: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

Lauro was not her only relative who was laid to rest in that mausoleum. Beside him was Danielle's grandmother whom she hadn't met and her parents. She paid her respects to them as well before she left. There's still one thing left in her itinerary that day. And for this one, she was excited to see. "Let's go," she told her driver who immediately drove the car away. At one glance, it looked like she was alone with her driver in all her activities. But she was not. Bodyguards were accompanying her discreetly. She didn't want to have them because her driver who was an ex-military man was already her bodyguard. But James insisted that she have them or he would not allow her to go wherever she pleases.So Danielle agreed. In one condition that they don't get too close to her."But remember, you cannot keep that kind of setup anymore once I introduce you to the public. You aren't just some normal citizen, Danielle. You're a

"I think we need to cancel reservations at least one day before the event," James said as they were doing final touches to her birthday celebration next week."Can we do that? But the bookings were already confirmed," Danielle replied."We can offer them something for the inconvenience. Just like an extended stay if they would choose to rebook," as he said that, he messaged Joseph to bring him the list of the guests for next week. "Or a free cancellation fee."Danielle pondered about it for a while. "Ain't it going to ruin the reputation of the Island this early?""No, of course not. Matters like this can easily be resolved with just a little extra. Besides, we don't want to risk the safety of your guests.""I don't understand, Uncle. Aren't we catering to socialites only? Why would there be any threat? Besides, I believe that the security is enough," Danie express her thoughts."We opened it up to ten guests of each member, Danielle. I don'

Danielle was busy inside the admin office of Loukas Island when James arrived so she was not able to welcome him and Myrna.But James understood and told her not to think about it."How is the preparation going?" he asked while looking at Danie's anxious face."Everything is fine, Uncle. The other VIPs have already started arriving since yesterday. Oh, by the way, who took the flight with you today?"He did not answer as he was planning to talk to Lucas tonight first. He didn't think the man in Danielle's heart would already have a girlfriend.If that was the case, then he could not allow him to see Danielle. He would just hurt his precious niece.But James was still hopeful that Olivia was not Lucas' girlfriend. Based on his reaction, he believed that maybe the woman lied to him. When he was canceling Olivia Robert's booking, she asked about Lucas and told him that she was with him and just booked separately.It might have been his f

The first time Lucas saw Dana, she was lying helplessly on a hospital bed. Tubes were connected to her body and her lower extremities were wrapped heavily in gauze. But he didn't feel an ounce of pity for her. All he wanted to do that time was to kill her with his bare hands.He hated her so much. He saw her as a curse. Yet because of his family, he still helped to keep her secret safe despite her unwillingness to tell him the truth about the accident. Lucas thought that he would never forgive her. But when he spent time with her, his heart opened up for forgiveness. And not only that, he feared losing Dana. That when her past caught up with her because of his wrong decision to bring her to the city, he willingly laid everything he had got just to keep her safe.In the end, his efforts were in vain as Dana decided to protect him instead. As a man who failed, it was a blow to his ego that in reality, what he had was not enough to make Dana trust him and sta

The next thing Danielle knew, it was just her and Lucas standing by the seashore. She found herself staring at her feet which she had already freed from her shoes, enjoying the stroke of shallow waves.  “So, this is the kind of life that you grew up with,” Lucas said after a short while of silence. His both hands were inside his pant’s pocket and his gaze was to the vast ocean before them.  “If you meant luxury, then, yes. I was born with a golden spoon. Really, I’ve always gotten every material thing I wanted,” she answered, casting him a glance.  Before they parted three years ago, they started having calm conversations like this. The most beautiful part was when Lucas said that he already forgave her. She could still remember how they sealed their friendship by shaking their left hands instead of their right hands that were both injured. She remembered the times when she badly wanted to stay with him but had no choice but to leave.
