Chased By My Demon CEO

Fernando came out of the room to follow Viona but he couldn't find any trace of the girl in the hallway. Fernando hoped he would find Viona in the restaurant. He quickly felt at peace when he saw Viona in the fruit section. He then followed Viona to the same section to have breakfast together with her.

"Are you only going to eat fruit?" asked Fernando suddenly when he was standing behind Viona.

"Can't you act like a sane person? This is a public place," Viona whispered curtly.

"Okay, I'm sorry. It's my fault," Fernando replied, raising his hand in the air.

Viona only glanced at Fernando, she refocused her intention to pick up some food for breakfast. Not long after that, Viona finally sat on a chair after bringing two plates of fruit and Pan Seared Salmon for her breakfast.

Fernando then took out a chair and sat next to Viona picking the same menu as Viona. They were savoring breakfast without talking to each other. Fernando's small smile grew wider because he enjoyed a different breakfast atmosphere with her.

"We are like a couple on a honeymoon, Sweety," Fernando said softly as he put a piece of salmon in his mouth.

*Cough cough*

Viona choked on her food when she heard Fernando's words. Fernando gave a glass of water to her in response.

"Eat slowly," said Fernando in a low voice.

"I won't ask for your food, you can eat all of them by yourself," added Fernando with a sharp gaze at Viona who was still covering her mouth with a handkerchief.

"You're the one who makes me choke!!" Viona protested defensively.

Fernando raised an eyebrow then smiled broadly at Viona, he finally realized that his words really shocked Viona.

"Did I say something wrong?" asked Fernando without feeling guilty.

"Never mind, I don't want to discuss it," Viona replied, quickly changing the conversation, she didn't want to be caught up in Fernando's words.

"You are such a complicated woman! You don't have any schedule for today, right? I want to ask you to go somewhere," said Fernando, staring intently at Viona's eyes.

"I have to tidy up my apartment and find a new place to live as soon as possible because if not I...

"Then what? What would you do? I'll be by your side and I'll protect you!!! You don't need to be afraid or worried ... I don't accept 'no' for an answer and you should come with me today, Vio!!" Fernando said quickly, interrupting Viona's words so that she could not finish her sentence.

Viona sighed at Fernando's words. She finally complied with Fernando's invitation because she didn't want to make the man angry with her.

After finishing his breakfast, Fernando then took Viona's hand and dragged her to go out of the hotel's restaurant. Viona could only give in since she didn't want to ruin Fernando's good mood.

Fernando asked Viona to get into his car beside the driver's seat because he would drive the car this time. They then left the hotel towards the suburban area.

Fernando stopped his car when he passed a florist. He got out and went inside the flower shop without asking Viona to get out of his car. Ten minutes later, he came out of the florist with a bucket of red roses in his hand. A smile spread across Fernando's face.

Fernando placed his bouquet carefully on the back seat. He then drove back to his original destination. After driving for almost an hour, Fernando's car finally stopped at a strange place that Viona never visited before.

"Let's get out of the car," asked Fernando to Viona, he got out of the car and brought his flower bouquet carefully.

"Where is this?" asked Viona curiously.

"You will know later, come out!" said Fernando as he walked into the garden area.

Viona followed Fernando's by half running, she found it difficult to keep up with Fernando's walk who usually walked with wider steps.

Viona's heart immediately beat faster when she entered the deeper part of the garden area, her eyes began to tear up knowing what kind of place she was currently visiting.

"Hi, sweetheart, good morning. Look who's here today," said Fernando, crouching in front of the gravestone bearing the name Zevanya Gray Willan.

"You must be very happy right now. I'm sorry it took Daddy too long to take her to meet you, Sweetheart," Fernando added softly with sad eyes as he touched the tiny tombstone.

THUD.

Viona suddenly fell on the grassy ground because her legs couldn't support her weight. Viona's tears flowed heavily and she couldn't say a single word, her eyes stared longingly at the tombstone where little Zeze slept forever.

"Ze ... ze ..." Viona stammered as she crawled slowly towards Zevanya's grave. She did not care about her pants that got so dirty when she fell on the ground.

"My baby....." Viona broke down crying while hugging Zevanya's tombstone. Her feelings of guilt and regret were finally released.

Viona cried heavily at Zevanya's burial, she poured out her regret and longing for her daughter in tears. Viona repeatedly called Zevanya's name and Fernando was also caught in the moment,

The man lifted his face towards the sky to hold back his tears that almost streamed down his face. He tried to not cry in front of Viona. Finally, he chose to sit on a large rock which he deliberately ordered to be put near Zevanya's grave.

Fernando just stared at Viona who was crying for Zevanya, he gave Viona time. He knew well that the late little Zevanya was very fond of Viona and because of that Fernando did not want to interfere with their first meeting after nearly six years.

After an accident happened to Zevanya and took her life instantly at that time, Fernando's heart was in so much pain and he was grieving deeply, especially when he also lost Viona at the same time.

Those two tragic events had driven him crazy for two weeks. He did not leave the house because of that. Fernando only spent his time getting drunk and sleeping with beautiful women to distract both his pain and sadness.

He went crazy thinking about Viona, who was nowhere to be found. He thought that he had lost Viona as well, until he finally found out that Natasya was the mastermind behind Zevanya's fatal accident and Viona's kidnapping.

Fernando's heart was a little relieved when he found out that Viona was still alive even though she was no longer at his side. However, Fernando was so sure that he would meet Viona again.

"How long will you cry for her, Vio?" Fernando said softly as he touched Viona's shoulder.

"I was the one who caused her accident. She would still be here with us if I didn't go to the warehouse at that time," said Viona blaming herself.

"You can't blame fate!! I'm sure she's happy and rest well in heaven," said Fernando trying to comfort Viona.

Viona nodded slowly and then tried to get up from the ground with the help of Fernando, she wiped the tears that rolled down her face.

"Thank you for taking me here to meet Zeze," said Viona stammeringly.

"I just want to keep my promise to Zeze," replied Fernando with a smile.

Fernando then guided Viona to leave Zeze's grave while embracing Viona's waist because he seemed pretty shocked still, Viona didn't seem to reject Fernando's treatment this time.

"You know tho, Vio. I sincerely loved Zeze, even though she is not my biological daughter," said Fernando while smiling in the car.

"What do you mean???!!! Are you saying Zevanya is not your biological daughter?" asked Viona in shock.

Fernando just enjoyed his black coffee deliciously without answering Viona's question. His eyes were looking far towards the sea through the windshield of his car.

"Answer me, Fernando!! Who is Zevanya's real father?" asked Viona repeatedly full of curiosity.
