Daniel Phillips Senora Acero Novels & Stories

Unknown number. Selena answered calmly. “Yes?” A man’s voice spoke carefully on the other end. “Mrs. Hale?” “Yes.” “This is Daniel Mercer. I’m a forensic accountant.” Selena’s eyes narrowed slightly. “I believe,” the man continued quietly, “there are financial records you need to see.”

Small gasps and whispers start to dance around the room. Clearing his throat, Zac continues, “I will spare you the gruesome details, as I promise they do not need repeating, but during a yearly visit from the Great Council, Isla was found…er…incapacitated and taken in for medical treatment immediately under the Council's care. The findings that came from the Council's visit that day led to Alec Miller's arrest. He was charged rightfully so with multiple accounts of assault and attempted murder of an un-shifted, underage she-wolf.”

Kelly came out of the darkness, a taunting smile on his thin lips. "How could I ever let that happen? This title and this pack belong to me now and I can't just let anyone put a claim on it. Not anymore!" Kelly said arrogantly. "See that grandfather, even if you wanted to, someone else wasn't ready to let go of it," Ashton said as he looked at Kelly. His lips were hooked up into an arc and no one could tell whether he was smiling or not. But his eyes were so cold that everyone felt a shiver travel down their spine.

Sophie’s eyes widened, her face a mixture of disbelief and confusion. Danial continued, “I’m here with my mother and sister. I need you to tell them the truth about me and the company.” There was a brief silence on the other end, and Danial could hear Barley’s hesitation. “Young Master… are you sure this is the right time?” Danial’s tone grew firmer. “Yes, Barley. It’s time they knew.” Barley cleared his throat before speaking again. “Mrs. Sophie, Miss Natasha, I can confirm that Danial is indeed the chairman of Sterling Technology. He assumed the role a few weeks ago, and under his leadership, the company has seen significant growth and success.”

“Dry off as much as you can.” I took it gratefully, dabbing at my face and arms. “Thank you. Really. Most people would’ve just driven past.” “Not when they see someone who looks as heartbroken as you do,” he replied gently. His voice had this calm authority to it. “I’m Daniel, by the way. Daniel Voss. I run a tech investment firm downtown.” “Aria,” I said softly, still wiping rain from my neck. The towel smelled faintly of his cologne something woody and expensive. “Aria Thompson. I’m… eighteen. Just had the worst night of my life.”

“I’m Daniel Keane,” he said. “This crazy girl hanging off Mr. Ashford is my wife, Aryana.” “This is my fiancée, Sandra Dennis,” Creighton said dislodging the young girl from his neck. Aryana turned and looked at Sandra, eyes wide and mouth open. “Hello,” Sandra said to her, reaching her hand toward the girl who took it in stunned silence. “I think this is the first time I’ve seen her speechless,” Daniel chuckled, his tone thick with an Irish accent.

Will he come back to me or disappear into shame? I don't know. My phone buzzes. Unknown number. I answer. "Mrs. Vale." Daniel. The voice smooth as the river last night, cold as the dawn. "Cross Technologies is acquiring struggling talent. Generous terms. No hard feelings." "Hard feelings are all I have."

Meanwhile somewhere far away from the traffic jam, There's a lady standing on the roof top of a 9 storey building, checking on Badmus with binoculars and a 200M military grade sniper with a long range laser optic scopes on it. The lady's name is Elizabeth who goes by the code name of {Black Ace ♠️} , She's also a member of the Prime X force and just like Diamond and the others, she was tasked with the order to take out Badmus. But unlike her team mates, Black ace was different in every way.

My eyes widened and I really wanted to smack him myself. "You guys what?" Aaron moved ahead and grabbed Daniel's collar. "We use to date!" This idiot really had a death wish. He was way different from the last time I had seen him. He was always the shy, quiet one. He never talked back. He never even talked to someone unless spoken to. I heard a sickening crack and grabbed onto Aaron's arms, who was going for a round two. "You fucking idiot!" Lezelle screeched, grabbing onto Daniel's face. She pressed down on the bridge of his nose, trying to stop the flow of the blood.

**Chapter: A Distant Echo** Lisa was sitting on the terrace of Ace’s mansion, sipping on her coffee as the early morning sun painted the sky in hues of pink and orange. It was one of those rare peaceful moments they had these days, a brief respite from the chaos that seemed to follow them. She glanced over at Ace, who was leaning against the railing, lost in thought. He had been distant lately, more so than usual, and Lisa couldn’t help but worry.
