All Chapters of TAKEN BY THE CEO: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The idea of marriage was jaw-dropping but when Marcus suggested the abortion, it was even more shocking that she almost jump from her seat and attack him. Daniella was amused at Paloma’s reaction because her stepmother who always looked regal and proper cursed at Marcus. “How dare you!” Paloma shouted at the man who was comfortably sitting on their sofa. She was fuming with anger when the bastard suggested aborting Daniella’s pregnancy when he could have said no to her proposed marriage. “I’m not yet ready to become a father, Dani.” He understood their outburst but what about him? He was forced to do it, and now they wanted him to marry her? It was a double kill, and he couldn’t allow it to happen. “My child is going to be fine without you, Marcus. Just leave now before my mother will shoot you with her shotgun,” she threatened him but the man didn’t budge from his seat and wasn’t afraid to look them in the eyes. “You will let him leave? Ella, are you out of your min

He has decided to enjoy his stay as her prisoner and he planned to seduce his wife. By all means, he would make her fall in love with him, then dump her like a hot potato! Soon, the woman would have a taste of her own medicine and she would learn that it wasn’t good to toy with innocent people. While in the shower, Marcus contemplated Daniella’s possible reaction when he would go out of the bathroom with just a towel or nothing. She would be surprised, for sure. After he cleaned himself, he wiped the water on his body with the towel that Daniella gave her, then went outside without troubling himself to cover his nudity. Like a model of underwear, he strutted his way toward the bed. He used to be a playboy and seducing any woman would be child’s play for Marcus. “What the hell?” He cursed when he discovered Daniella’s position in the center of the bed. How could she sleep soundly with arms and legs wide open to the point that she occupied the entire bed? The woman didn’t even b

“Mama!” Lilian was shocked to find her mother outside the door. She thought that she wouldn’t be able to see her again because of Daniella. She hugged her mother tightly because she missed her so much. “I thought you are not coming!” “I miss you, Lil.” Paloma was teary-eyed after hugging her daughter whom she missed every day. Gregory had wanted her to bring Lilian to the big house and live with them but she objected to it because she needed to focus on Daniella. She had become a bad mother to Lilian, and to Daniella, she was also bad. She’s a total failure as a mother. When Marcus showed up, she took it as a sign that she needed to let go of Daniella and focused on her daughter instead. She wished that she hasn’t wasted her twenty years with Daniella. “I miss you so much, Ma. So, are you staying here for good?” Lilian was excited at the thought that her mother would finally live with her. “Actually, no,” Paloma answered. “What?” Her excitement and happiness totally

“Is there something wrong, Dani?” Marcus asked when the woman suddenly became silent. Her eyes were sad as she arranged the flowers in a flower vase and he wanted to comfort her. “It’s nothing, Marcus. I just remembered my father,” she lied. “By the way, how’s the annulment going on?” She trusted him to start the processing immediately as she couldn’t stay like this forever, and the most effective defense was an offense. So, that’s what she did. “Don’t worry about it, Dani. I received the forms yesterday so later, I may have to ask for you to sign it.” The forms weren’t filled up yet but he may have to do it later with haste. The woman was right, the sooner the better, and it was good for both of them. Daniella nodded. “Just remind me later,” she said and refused to look at Marcus and kept herself busy with the flower arrangement. “Why are you in a hurry to annul the marriage, Dani?” It bothered his pride that the woman was no longer attracted to him. “Com

Daniella screamed when Marcus suddenly cupped her breasts. It was so sudden that she was surprised when his calloused hand was immediately inside her blouse while he kissed her lips. The way he kissed her was rough and it wasn’t what she had expected from him, but it aroused her senses. He wanted to scare her, to back down from her offer of making love to him with no strings attached. What was she thinking? Her eyes narrowed when one of his hands tried to pull down her underwear. “You wanted this, Dani.” He reminded her when the woman tried to stop his hand. The man was right, and it was her who suggested the whole thing, but in the middle of his roughness, she thought to back down, and then she heard a tearing sound of the fabric. Her eyes became round and tried to snatch her undergarment from him. “Was it necessary?” She meant about the tearing of her underwear when he could just pull it down. Daniella was mortified when Marcus brought her ripped panty into his nose and
