Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate

Chapter Twenty - Four

Everything began to make sense to Danica. She discerned that Loney was doing this because he thought she was Daniella. However, she didn't know what Daniella did to him. She struggled as to whether she should pretend to be Daniella or confess. Still, she feared that maybe Daniella would be in trouble if she exposed her. Therefore, she thought against confessing but how could she pretend to be Daniella? She didn't know so much about her sister except the things she had told her. Therefore, this was also not an option. She finally settled on one thing, to play neutral, which would mean telling a lie.

She comforted herself with the fact that Loney would let her go after she delivers the child and would never know the truth. That way, she and her sister would both be safe. "I am not Daniella. My name is Danica."

Loney froze. His mind went into deep thought. He couldn't piece it all together. He sensed that something formidable was going on. Yet he had no way of knowing exactly what it was. If he confirmed that Danica wasn't the one he woke up within the hotel, then he would know she was telling a lie but if she was, then he would believe everything she said. After all, he hadn't seen Daniella since he dropped out of college. 'Could it be true that the death certificate wasn't forged?' He decided to find out. "Were you the one I met at the hotel?"

"Yes," Danica abruptly said. Loney took a step towards her, she took one back, startled. Loney took another step towards her but she couldn't take one back because she was close to the bed. Loney's gaze was impaling, Danica felt heated. He cupped her face in his hand and looked deeply into her hazel eyes, "are you saying that before then you hadn't seen me?" Loney was so close she felt his warm breath on her cheek. He didn't shift his gaze. Danica felt uneasy but maintained her stand. Her heart pounded in her chest.

"No, that was the first time I saw you. I didn't know how I got there but I don't want to recall that incident," remorse cleaned her words, Loney's guilty twinges flared. He couldn't remember most of that night either because was drunk. Now, he needed to think deeply about everything. Did he want Danica because he thought she was Daniella? Now that he was certain that she wasn't Daniella, he wasn't sure of his next action.

"I think you should rethink the proposal," he said to her, his heart begging Danica not to. Interestingly, she didn't.

"I don't have to. Nothing changes. I signed the agreement and therefore, we shall proceed as proposed if it's fine with you," Danica defiantly said. Her rosy lips, white teeth and gentle words turned Loney on, he became so hard but controlled himself because he had a meeting to attend. He could stay staring into those beautiful hazel eyes forever. "I won't be back tonight so see you tomorrow."

He turned to leave but Danica subconsciously grasped his hand. "Please what do I call you?" Loney gazed at her with admiration, "Loney." Danica nodded, released her grip then as if she recalled something, she said, "one last question,"

"Hmmm," Loney hummed.

"This Daniella, who is she?" Danica wanted to know Daniella's offence but unfortunately, Loney's phone rang. He brought it out from his suit pocket and checked. It was Marie so he answered it."
