Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mr. Rude President's Secret: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

~ Daniella ~As the song goes, “The sun still shines, the sun still sets,” so I had no excuse not to be productive this day.After what happened last night, I developed a hangover. I remember we partied hard. We were more than tipsy when it was time to leave but Mr. Clyde (thank God for his impeccable timing), drove us to our respective abodes.Although my head felt like it was being hit by a raging bullet train, I pushed myself to stand up. First things first, I needed to freshen up; take a long warm jasmine-scented bath, eat my breakfast downstairs and prepare for my day at my mother’s office. She did invite me to lunch today reasoning that she missed me and that we needed to catch up on things, business related. Not to mention that she wanted some juicy details while I stayed in the chateau.I did the first two lists in one and a half hours. Tia Sofia really is an indispensable woman when it comes to cooking my f

~ Daniella ~If I’m in a movie, I would consider myself in the film Cinderella with how I looked like wearing an almost similar royal blue ball gown. Imagine this was what Suri demanded on the designer for me to wear. The design was tweaked with a plunging see-through neckline that showed a bit of my cleavage. I didn’t need to wear any jewelry on my neck for it had a pseudo-necklace that was made of the same glittering fabric. I could easily say that I definitely looked like a Goddess now; a Goddess looking for some damage — in a certain man’s heart that is.Suri had her own gown, but it was her preferred mermaid style in gold beads and an empire cut neckline. It was definitely a different design as compared to mine, but a majestic creation nonetheless.My knees felt like jello when I stepped inside the Presidents Hall, the one that held Ms. Elaine’s wedding reception. That was two hours ago. Vincent was with me, steadying my balanc

~ Erik ~Dark was the room Mr. Hyde had placed me in one day. I had huddled myself in a corner for probably half an hour confused and feeling lost. I don’t know why he placed me here, but I believe the reason wouldn’t be any better. He and his men had been my companion for a year since they spirited me away from the Dominican convent. I knew of their criminal ways. I knew of his psychotic tendencies. Not one instance had I seen good in them... good in him.Probably half an hour of staying, the door swung open to let in light.Finally my suffering in this deserted room ends, I thought to myself, but when a person stepped in, and not just any person, a woman in fact, I realized Mr. Hyde’s twisted game had just begun.The woman, most likely in her early twenties, sobbed as she cuddled herself in a makeshift bed. I don’t even know there was a bed until she sought protection in it.But I doubt a thin foa

~ Daniella ~A whole day.That’s what Erik told me and true to his word, we really did stay for a wondrous whole day inside his room.He had instructed Mr. Ian through phone call to leave our breakfast, lunch and dinner meals including snacks outside the main door. He also issued all club matters directed to the Vice President and even those that pertain to Iopata set aside for the next day.Weirdly enough, not one of the club members called or texted him. I am not so sure if it was intentional or if they knew of my presence in their president’s bedroom, but the zero bother made me feel at ease. As of the moment, I don’t want to think about how Suri and the other’s had reacted on the advancement of me and Erik’s relationship.I doubt that they would be surprised though. I have an inkling that they knew something was up between the two of us right from the start.Erik and I discussed

~ Daniella ~Clad in a well-ironed suit, Erik stood before me. He had an amused grin on his face, barely visible, but still there and he studied me from head to foot as if it was his first time seeing me.If it wasn’t for the chains that stopped me, I would have leapt into his arms and embraced him right then and there. I instead just stood still with my left hand pressed against my bounding heart and my right hand restrained by the cuff. A part of me was relieved that it was him, but a part of me was confused too.“You’re the boss?!” I exclaimed with furrowed brows, but I bit the inside of my lip thereafter when I thought that maybe my question came out wrong.“Wh-what is the meaning of this?” I inquired the second time. A tornado of questions attacked my head as I waited with bated breath for his answer.What came out from his mouth however cleared all of it in just a snap.“Danie
