Chapter 01
it's been 5 years, she almost got kicked out from the university but in the end her father decided to let her study abroad. away from making troubles in the family and to other people. Daniella change by nature when she got away from the family, she change for a reason that she wished for her father to see her as a daughter who would understand him more than anybody. even if she would change, it can never take away how she still couldn't accept her step-mother and her step-sister to be part in their family.
being alone in abroad, her father never visited her even once and she though she was trying to reach out, her father still couldn't see her.
now she's back. back for good that she would dare to chase away this mother and daughter. she wanted power from her father and she'll able to do that now that she's reliable in so many ways. she'll be able to handle their company especially that her father is sick now as he was showing some symptoms and the doctor advice him to rest.
another reason for her return is to get the man from the woman who stole from her.
*flashback*
she work so hard to let her father know how reliable she is and that he could entrust the company to her no matter what. though her father sees that, he wasn't in the States to see how she does. all he sees was her step-sister's does.
she met Inoe again who became the vice-CEO of their family's company. their fathers are business partners in a project that Inoe and her presented. they became close and that's how Inoe got the chance to get to know her better, not as bad girl whom he met during college years. its different now.
she admire his being cooperative and know how to manage his time. she had never met a guy like him before, she didn't notice him when they were in college that he's more than what she expected. she wonder if how he seduces other women in bed, if he would try that to her... she thought that she'll do the first move.
she smiled as she thought about it. she knows how to manage her time from work and leisure. she dont want to be a workaholic like what her father does. her character has always been consistent on being a flamboyant, she doesnt care if what others think. more importantly, her father what matters to her and to the people who would be able to understand her.
but as months gone by, she also found out that Inoe starting to work a project together with Rina. she's aware about how she feels, she's jealous but has no right to feel that way. not unless she would tell her feelings with him, but like any other woman, she would like a man to confess their feelings to a woman they chose.
*back to reality*
and this is why she came back, she just found out that Inoe and Rina are more than close friends. she couldn't let that happen, because the man she wanted to marry is someone like Inoe.
she's back... and if it means competition from family to love life, she's always game.

a pink aviator sunglasses, wearing a long-sleeve light pink draped shirt, partnered with low-rise skinny jeans and a black knee-high boots. Daniella del Fierro went straight to her father's company to surprise him. she entered the company, but she dont have access to see her father as she's starting to argue with the receptionist.
Daniella: miss... i only wanted to talk to Danilo Hans del Fierro, why you wouldn't let me see him?
Receptionist: ma'am, i already told you that Mr. del Fierro is still on the meeting and he wouldn't let any visitors to see him today.
Daniella: i know he's in the meeting, but i want you tell his secretary that i am here to see him.
Receptionist: (she started to dial the intercom and ask the secretary.) ma'am, im sorry but-
Daniella: give me that... (she stole the phone from her.) listen... tell your president that Daniella del-
"Daniella..."
before she could finish talking to the secretary over the phone, someone called her name and it was Rina. she returned hang up the phone when her step-sister approached her.
"speaking of the devil..."
Rina: what a surprise... when did you just came back?
Daniella: an hour ago... (she crossed her arms and just as Rina thought, she'll never change and she always got the same treatment from Daniella.)
Rina: are you going to see dad?
Daniella: isn't obvious?
Rina: oh... okay. come on, let's see dad right now... i am also here to pass this project proposal that Inoe and i made.
Daniella: (Rina tapped her back, but she put away her hands and turn around.) wait... (she went back to see the receptionist. just looking at her makes her annoy.) Rina... come here...
Rina: why? (she come over and look at the receptionist.)
Daniella: what's her name?
Receptionist: i'm Belinda, ma'am...
Daniella: how long you've been working here?
Rina: Daniella, she's on the job training... and after graduate she plans to work here.
Daniella: work? here??? (she look at the receptionist.) i dont think so... i'll remember you. (pointing at her.)
Daniella walk ahead and Rina followed. walking away, she heard someone warned the receptionist. she was being warned that the one who got talked to her is the daughter of the owner's company. by everyone's surprise, Daniella and Rina passed by at the department. everyone greeted Rina as one of the bosses in the company, but not Daniella. she already thought that everyone doesn't know her. knowing the fact that she's the heiress of del Fierro corporation, these employees will be dead if she'll be the president of this company soon.
"how far is the office?"
"you know that a lot of change in this company already. from interior to company's rules", Rina said.
finally they arrived at her father's office, there was the secretary who forbid them to go inside because he's still have a meeting. Daniella took off her sunglasses and look closely to the secretary.
Daniella: you're new here... you were not the secretary i met before.
Rina: Daniella, this is Kate... she's not new here because she's been working with dad for 3 years now.
Daniella: still new for me and i still prefer dad's old secretary. (she crossed her arms.)
Rina: she's dead now and this is her daughter.
Daniella: i dont care. (she look at the secretary again.) hey... your name doesn't suit you, but i'll remember it and tomorrow i'll make sure you'll be fired-
Rina: Daniella, stop it. Kate, just dont mind her-
Daniella: what did you say? you're telling her not to mind if i am trying to lecture this secretary?
Rina: you're not trying to make a scene here, right? Daniella everyone's looking at you.
Daniella: i dont care... (she look back at the secretary.) now, you listen... i guess you still dont know me, right? you've been working for my father... but you never got the chance to study my father's profile?-
"Daniella?"
she turn around and it was Danilo Hans del Fierro who just got out from the office. he just witnessed how his daughter bullying his secretary.
"dad..."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"is everything done?", Andre asked his driver if he's done fixing the car. he was still at home and he doesn't want to be late to his meeting. he's already dressed up, but he already thought that he had no choice. he fold the his long sleeves, he was wearing a black polo shirt.
"let me handle it myself... you go get my stuff inside the office"
then his phone suddenly ring, his assistant was on the other line and so he answered it.
"what's up?"
"its confirmed."
"Rina just brought some project proposals that she and Inoe made..."
"i see..."
"but awhile ago... i almost got in trouble because Danilo's daughter just came back..."
he hanged up the phone, Andre didn't expect for he could always recall, someone who last saw him before he vanished.
"Daniella...", he already thought about her. he smiled.
----------------------------------------------------------
"dad... like i said, the reason why i came back is because i want to work here. i wanna work here for good...", she explained.
Danilo walked back and forth infront of her, he's not sure if how he'll handle his own daughter. even if she was in abroad, he knows what's going on. knowing Daniella, he already thought that if she keep staying here... it'll be in more trouble. he knew that Daniella hadn't change.
Danilo: and do you think i will allow you? what i saw awhile is just another trouble of yours. you're even bullying my employee.
Daniella: dad... our employee and NO... i didn't bully her. i just warned her.
Danilo: you still have no right to do that!
Daniella: dad, why its a big problem for you if i wanted to stay here? you left me all alone in abroad, i proved to you that i am worthy enough to handle our company there. why you dont see that?
she was right. but she was never been right if its with her father, her own flesh and blood... how could her own father never understand her. Danilo went back to his desk, kept thinking if how he'll solution this problem with his daughter. he has reasons why he cant let her stay here. he knew how hard working he is, but if he let her know that they're slowly going bankrupt, he dont know how would his daughter accept the truth.
"dad... how come you dont see my worth? how come you only care about your second family? haven't realized that eversince mom died... you slowly leaving me. and when you let me go to abroad... i realized how i've been lonely. you dont want me to stay here? what? you dont want me to be with my family?", she was more than disappointed to her father. she left him inside the office and walked away. dont know if where she'll go. she pass through on Rina, she didn't care about her.
she searched for her sunglasses inside her bag, she stopped at the exit door as she kept searching to her sunglasses.
"Daniella?"
a familiar voice called her name. but as she take a look, it made her surprised at it was Inoe who's standing near at the entrance door.
"Inoe!", she smiled as she called his name. he greeted her with a hug and just how she realize that he missed her.
