Mr CEO You're Dumped

The noise from the stiletto announced her presence her presence as she walked majestically towards the porch. She wore her fair hair in a bun, with a fierce look on her smooth face. Not bothering to knock, she placed her hand on the knob, opening the door in the process. Quickly, her eyes darted around the room ,looking for Daniel, finding no glimpse of him,she smirked.

"The bitch is here!" A voice spoke coldly, descending the stair two at a time. She was an older version of Daniel. The gold tail on her immaculate dress trailed behind her. A woman of good taste, that's who she is. On her face was a cold when disdainful look.

Startled, Rachel gazed towards her direction "the with is here!" The muttered quietly.

"What the fuck are you doing here?"

"Obviously, to see Daniel, my man" Rachel sneered

"Oh, in that case, I think you've lost your way because my son can never have any thing to do with a slut like you!" Cisca retorted

Boldly, Rachel walked towards her, giving her an intense look as she spat "look here, cisten or whatever your witchy name is, I, Rachel will get married to Daniel, your son with or without your approval. read my lips" Rachel rolled her eyes at her "you can't do any shit!"

"How dare you!" CRACK!

The sound echoed in the living room just as cisca's hand made contact with Rachel's cheek.

"What? Did you just lay your witchy hands on me?" Rachel's eyes widen in utmost bewilderment. Damn it! Did this old bitch just lay a hand on her precious face? Does she know how much she spent on her face weekly to ensure she is without blemish? How dare she?

Rachel fumed as she stared at Cisca maliciously

"Well, the slap was just to reset your memory. It seems you needed it so I just helped" Cisca shrugged

Without warning, Rachel raised her hand to return the slap but stopped mid-way.

"Bitch,you raised your hands to slap me?" Cisca bellowed

"You are just lucky that I am in a good mood. Be careful, next time you might not be this lucky" Rachel warned with a wicked glint.

"Mother of Christ! Guards!!! Go ahead and slap me!"

With a mockery tone, Rachel spoke "oh, so you're calling your dog to throw me out? I am not surprised since that's....."

The presence of four hefty men interrupted her speech.

"Throw this wench out of this house and ensured she never step her feet in here anymore" she ordered "do I make myself clear?"

"Yes ma!" They chorus, making advances towards her.

"What's going on here?" A deep voice asked descending from the stairs, stopping the guards. He was tall and manly, he was shirtless, giving him the sexy look.

Rachel gulped, as she stared lustfully at him. Before anyone could say "jack ass" Rachel became hysterical when Daniel approached them.

Moved by Rachel's hysterical fit, he hugged her possessively, offering same comfort. Stunned, Cisca stared dumbfounded.

What just happened? She thought staring at Rachel in Daniel's arm.

Did that bitch just broke into an hysterical fit as a cover up?

"Mother, what's wrong with my fiancee?"

Rachel's heart accelerated when she heard 'fiancee'. She increased the volume of her cry while sticking out her tongue at Cisca, giving the guards her middle finger.

Cisca fumed. "Your bitch dared raised her filthy hands to slap me. She insulted me so I asked the guards to accompany her out of here"

Turning to Rachel, he asked "is that true?"

"Baby, that's not true. I came here, looking for you but she stopped me as usual. She slapped me and asked the guard to show me the exit. I was pleading with her but she called me a slut" Rachel hiccuped with a pathetic look, she continued "your mother said I can never marry you. I can't continue in this relationship when your mother does not approved of our relationship. Baby please let's break off this engagement"

Softly, Daniel trailed his hands on her cheeks, wiping the tears. "No, we won't call it off.with time my mother will accept you"

Glaring at Cisca "I don't like this! Stop treating my woman as a foot mat. Stop it!" With a look, he dismissed the guards. Pulling Rachel out of the living room.

"Geez! That slutty girl won't kill me before my time!" She exclaimed.

"If anything happen to my son, I'm gonna sue this fucken hospital!" A young lady approach her, pushing her roughly. Wendy fell, getting a scratch as a result of the intense push.

"Thought you're a nurse, fucken get a stretcher for him instead of standing there like a monument. Be useful for once!"

Wendy quivered as she stood up, rushing in to get the stretcher.

Returning shortly with the stretcher. She made to help the injured guy on it but was stopped instantly by an older woman whom she assumed must be the guy's mother.

"Cisca what's wrong now? Why are you stopping her?"

The lady who roughly pushed her yelled at the older woman. Not giving a damn if she was creating a scene or not. Rachel glared at Cisca.

"He is your fiance, then help him to the stretcher"

"What? You must be out of your mind, He is almost dead. You expect me to touch a semi dead man simply because he's my fiance?"

"Holy crap?" The look on the older woman's face was priceless. "Did you just call my son, Daniel a semi-dead man?"

"Yes, is he not half-dead?"

Wendy stared, unable to do a thing.

"Rachel!!!"

"Cisca! Anyway, just so you know. This relationship between I and semi-dead Daniel is over. I can't afford to be a window at a younger age" with that, she flaunt her hair, walking majestically to her Convertible before driving off.

"Ma, please we just need to take him to an emergency unit before it's too late" Wendy spoke.

Nurses helped Daniel into the stretcher as he was wheel into the theatre for operation.

Dejectedly walking out of the receptionist office, a call came in. Not checking the caller, she answered. "Hello"

"Darling, what's going on?"

"Daniel, our baby got involved in a ghastly accident" she sobbed

"What? How come?"

"I don't know either, but it seems someone tempered with his car brake which resulted in the brake failure"

The realization of her statement penetrated deep into his heart.

Someone tried killing his only child. His blood. His only kin.

Damn it! Whoever the motherfucker is should pray earnestly never to be found if not, he, Martin Paul will spill his or her blood. He vowed bitterly.

"Hello darling. Which hospital is he?"

"Hospital of pennyslyania (HUP)"

"I'll be there" the line went death. Cisca continue sobbing.

*******

Underground

He paced aimlessly around the room, waiting impatiently for their feedback. The place was dark, and hidden from views. One won't suspect there's an underground in orphanage.

Well, you couldn't blame him. That happens to be his hide out.

What could be taking him that long? Is the mission successful? He thought as he paced around while trying to suppress his rising fury.

Damn it!

The door opened quietly, revealing his presence.

"Boss"

"What the fuck kept you that long?" His back to the intruder, he asked unmoving from his spot.

"Needed to ensure everything went successful"

"how was it?" Pulling a stick of cigarettes, he light it as he smoke

"Good"

"Is he dead?"

"No,boss but badly injured"

"Better" turning to face the intruder, he took a long look at his outfit. His black shirt, over a black trouser with a black mask made him look like a mafia.

Hell no! What was he? If not a Mafia. The deadly mafia in Philadelphia. How he was able to win his heart over, is what he does not know.

His eyes were as cold as a monument, with no hint of emotion.

The heartless beast that can kill without blinking an eye

"You may leave"

Without another word, he sneaked out quietly

Feeling fulfilled, he let out a wicked laugh. "Hahaha" thanks to the sound proof in the room which concealed the sound of his laughter from been heard.

Yes! The son of a bastard is ruined. Who the hell does Daniel think he is?

"Daniel, I am just being generous in letting you live but mark my words, if your company wins this fifteen billion contract from J/S Company. I am gonna come back to claim your life!!

The veins in his neck stretched out as his fury ran out of check

damn it! With a loud thud, he broke the wine glass. "That's how I will break you Daniel into unrecognized tiny indivisible particles. I promise you! Arrrhhhh!!!"

**********

An hour later, Daniel was wheeled out from the theatre room to his ward. Luckily, the surgery was successful.

Impatiently, Cisca rushed to him. "Doctor, how is my son? Will he be alright?" unable to contend her emotion, she sobs. "Please tell me. He is my only child"

The pathetic look on her face alone stopped him dead on his track. He has seen cases like this during his years in this services, and having been in this situation before, he understood what it felt to be helpless when your loved ones are fighting for their life.

"Ma, you need to calm down. He is stable but unconscious. Probably by tomorrow he should be out of his unconscious state"

The assurance from the doctor was enough to help her relax. "Thank you"

Despondently, she entered Daniel's ward, sat at the edge of the bed staring at his pathetic state. A tear rolled down her eyes as she desperately fought back the tears.

Who could have done this to her child? She thought. Admittedly, they have a whole lot of enemies but whom in particular?

Daniel looked pale and lifeless except for the continuous beeping of the monitor which assured her of his life.

"This relationship between I and semi-dead Daniel is over" Cisca sobbed as Rachel's statement popped into her mind.

"Daniel, you see what you fell in love with? In your worst condition, she abandoned you. Please wake up"

Martin barged in, jolting Cisca out of her melancholy mood.

"How is he?" martin asked as he observed how pathetic he look on the bed with tube connected all over him. The need for a revenge increased simultaneously from forty percent to ninety-five percent. The bloody bastard who did this to him must pay! He thought as he clenched his fists in fury.

"The doctor said he is stable but unconscious"

"Have you informed his fiancée about his condition?"

Cisca eyes blazed with fury "which fiancée? Is it that slutty Rachel? The same bitch that called Daniel a semi-dead man?"

Martin gasped... "w.....h....a....t?"

"oh, I see you didn't know the bitch your son got engaged to" she sneered and continued "as a matter of fact, Rachel broke the engagement"

Mimicking Rachel's voice with a disgusting look "this relationship between I and semi-dead Daniel is over. I cannot afford to be a window at a tender age"

"Fuck! I swear on the grave of her castrated grandfather, if I ever set my eyes on her around my son. I am gonna squeeze the life out of her, I swear!"

"And I will joyfully break her bones and feed them to the wild animal in the zoo" Cisca added spitefully

Silently, martin sat on the bed, opposite Cisca "how are you coping?" there was an air of affection around him which pulls her like a magnetic force towards him. Drawn by his soft tone and eyes which held warmth. She admitted her feelings.

"Yes I was scared out of my wit. I mean who wouldn't be after seeing her only child in the pool of his blood and unconscious"

There is silence as martin waited patiently, sensing she has something more to add.

"I didn't know what to do if not for some Good Samaritan who rushed him to the hospital. I called Rachel but all she did was call Daniel a semi-dead man, creating a scene, flaunt her hair and walked out"

Pulling a white handkerchief out of his pocket, martin handed it to her "here"

Getting the handkerchief, she dabbed her eyes, unconsciously sniffing in his scent in the process "thank you"

"Your eyes are puffy. Enough evidence that you cried your heart out"

"Don't worry, Daniel will be fine. He is a strong head and I believe he will fight this battle successfully" he assured

Inwardly, he was praying for a speedy recovery. Unable to resist, he gave her a light peck on her forehead. "He will be fine"

Wendy met Leo in his office, working tirelessly on his system. His brow was furrow in absolute concentration. "hey" he muttered not bothering to take his eyes off the laptop for a second.

The office was well tidy and neat. The room was cold as a result of the air-conditioner. Wendy developed Goosebumps from the cold. "could you please turn off the A.C ? I think I am gonna freeze to death"

Noting the pain in her voice, Leo gaze shift from the laptop to her before transferring his gaze to the air conditioner remote next to his system "that's absurd"

Wendy released a breath she didn't know she has been holding when Leo finally turned off the A.C.

The office was painted in white, Leo sat on the swivel chair, his attention finally on her. His desk was well tidied except for his laptop which was in his front.

"is there a problem Wendy?"

Nobody knew Wendy relationship with Leo. They all believed Leo to be Wendy's boss. Wendy stared at him, suddenly noticing how handsome and sexy he is. "you are too sexy and handsome" she blurted before realizing.

Leo chuckled but the laughter went out of his eyes when he noticed the bruises on her elbow. Wendy noticed the change in him and instantly wish she didn't lift up her hands to cover her mouth thereby revealing the bruise.

"who did that to you?" he snarled

"ehmm.... You see......"

"who is the mother fucker that did this to you?"

Startled by his voice, she quivered in trepidation. "a lady roughly pushed me, so I sustain the injury but it's okay. It does not really hurt"

"what is her name?"

"Rachel"

Leo mentally saved the name in his cranium. "are you sure you're okay?" he asked pinning her with his intense gaze

"yes" she answered meekly

"why are you here? You know it's not really save to be seen mostly around me"

"yeah. I just came to ask a question" Wendy began suddenly fascinated with her perfect manicure.

"go ahead" Leo braced up, anticipating the question on her mind

"you were among the doctor who treated Mr. Daniel, the new guy who was involved in a ghastly accident?"

"yes. I am the doctor in charge of it"

"from the story I heard, his car had a brake failure which meant, someone tempered with his brake to kill him but he survived"

"yeah" Leo added as he stood to brew some coffee. "do you care for some coffee?"

"uhm.... yeah I do"

He added some sugar to her cup of coffee before handing it over to her. "thank you" she muttered

"I want to make a request Leo"

"go ahead Wendy" he took a sip then kept it on the desk

"I was wondering if you could assign me the task of being Daniel's private nurse"

Seeing the horrific look on his face, she added hastily "no, I don't mean it that way from my own perspective, I believe the same person who was involved in my parent accident is the one operating and responsible for Mr Daniel's accident. I want to investigate the car accident maybe I will come up with an evidence against him"

Leo listened attentively with his eyes half dose.

It sounded like a nice idea but he was scared for her own safety.

What if this Mr Daniel is not a nice guy? What if he hurts Wendy? He might be a patient but some patient loves being aggressive on their nurse especially when they feel like an invalid. What if he was a lunatic?

Enough of what if! His subconscious mind scolded him.

What if this and what if that. He would never know until she takes a step.

It's a nice idea. He has to let her take a step from her comfort zone, if he is still scared he can withdraw her if danger comes knocking at her door. Simple!

Sounds rational.

Wendy watched different emotion flick over his face. Unperturbed, she waited patiently for his thought on the issue she just breached.

"sounds good but be careful. If anything seems out of place. Just let me know. Understood?"

"yes, does that mean I've been assigned the task?"

"yeah, I will inform his family"

The excitement on her face was priceless "thank you so much. Indeed, you are the best" she jumped on him, giving him a peck

Finally, she is progressing somewhere. she thought smiling widely

**********

The morning sun shimmered dimly into the room from the window which was half opened. Daniel groan out in pain as he tossed to and fro, suddenly becoming restless. Memories of the event that took place before the accident came rushing into his head at once.

He recalled entering his car, turning on the ignition and driving off. The desire to use his care brake only to discover it's not working. His heart lurched, his eyes widen when an articulated lorry crossed his part. He tried using the emergency brake but it was not working. To avoid being hit, he swerved blindly to his left only to see a double decker coming directly at him.

Cursing, he caught a glimpse of the lorry coming towards his direction. Lost on what to do, he steer the wheel forward. Unable to put the brake, he drove hoping not to be crossed by a car but the unfortunate happened when a car swerve to his direction, hitting his car. Panic clutched his heart and his brain stopping him from thinking.

His heart jumped out of his throat when a single deck crossed his car. "fuck!" he threw his hands off the steering wheel. Closed his eyes and listened as his car somersaulted while everything went blank in his world.

Suddenly the Electrocardiogram monitor stopped beeping.

Doctor Leo and other doctor rushed in instantly.

"No we cant loose him" doctor Bernard yelled as they tried frantically to resuscitate him as they connected the defibrillator to Daniel's Heart.

"1....2....3...start" Doctor Bernard said as he applied the electric shock.

"1...2...3 pull, 1...2...3 pull".

"Doctor Robin touched Leo's shoulder. He is gone. We tried our best"

"Noo!!" Leo cried as he shakes his head in disbelief. "This can't be happening. We can't lose a patient"

"God knows best" doctor Bernard assured

Instantly, the electrocardiogram starts beeping. Doctor robin glanced at Leo. "There's hope, let's bring him back. He is between the living and the land of the dead"

After twenty minute, Leo was able to revive Mr. Daniel

"You did a great job "doctor Bernard complimented with a smile

Martin and Cisca rushed into the ward to see Daniel being surrounded by doctors. Doctor Leo was beside the electrocardiogram, reading his chart.

Panicked, martin took a deep breath before finding his voice. "What is going on?"

"Mr. Daniel awoke, but his mind drifted to the incident which took place before his accident resulting in him having a cardiac arrest"

"Cardiac arrest?"

"Yes, we lost him once but he is stable now though we sedated him after two hours, the drug will wear off. Please keep a close watch on him" Leo advised

The rest of the doctors walked out leaving Doctor Leo behind

"Doctor please I want to request for a private nurse for him. Seeing that we were not competent enough to watch him.

Leo smiled inwardly. Perfect opportunity! He was wondering how he will bring up the topic but the heaved provided an opportunity without him asking for it.

"Okay ma'am. I know someone that is diligent and will be competent enough for the task. I will assigned her to you"

"I am much obliged to you for helping" Cisca smiled

"Thank you man" martin added as they exchanged an handshake.

Some minute later, Wendy walked into the ward, feeling agitated

"Good day ma'am, good day sir" she greeted politely with a smile

"Good day my daughter. How are you?"

"I am fine ma" Wendy responded timidly. Her heart palpitated as she became aware of being accessed by Mr. Martin.

Nodding with approval "you're a decent young lady. I love it"

"Thank you sir"

"What's your name?"

"Wendy"

"You're a nurse here?"

"Yes sir" martin glanced at Cisca with a smile, secretly sending private message to each other with their eyes

Deciding not to bother them, Wendy went to Daniel's bed, felt his temperature. Check his pulse, read his chart before giving them solitude.

"I have finally found a daughter in law" Cisca spoke excitedly minute after Wendy left them. Martin smiled in delight before conceding. "Yes, indeed a good daughter in law"

"She will give me four grand children" Cisca spoke dreamily with a far away expression on her face.

"no, not four but five"

"We have to match make them"

"Yeah. I have the perfect idea on what to do and how to do it" martin winked dearly delighted to have found the lady that matches his taste. They might be rich but they do not want a rich lady for their son. All they ever wanted was a random girl for Daniel.

Being the founder of the multibillion companies in Philadelphia has exposed them to the lifestyle of the influential, rich, spoilt brat. Detesting the lifestyle, martin vowed never to let his son marry from such class.

"What do you intend doing? Spill the secret please"

"Come closer". Martin whispered into cisca's ear.

"That's a lovely plan"

"I know" in a melodious tone "soon, I am going to be a grandpa"

"And I will be a grandma" Cisca joined rolling her eyes before chortling in delight.
