Buenos Aires
At the top floor of the skyscraper of Munoz Group was the president's office.
Sebastian Munoz stood by the window,hands in pocket,the aura around him was cold exuding power and strong masculinity.
He had a healthy skin colour,an angular cold handsome face,thick eyebrows under a pair of black deep eyes,high nose,thin and thick moderate lips.
His whole personality and looks exuded a King's atmosphere.And he was literally regarded as a King in this city.
When he was twenty-two,he had succeeded his father,in taking charge of the entire Munoz Group and in just a few years,he developed the group to a higher stance.
"Sir, you checkup report yesterday showed that things aren't going too well,though the toxins in your body had been slowly decreasing before, this time,the poisonous eruption had caused more damage to your body,you'll have to cooperate with the treatment." Raphael sat on the leather sofa speaking with a serious expression about the situation on the report card.
At the sound of his voice, Sebastian turned his head and glanced at him,faintly,his expression not changing much. As if those words were not meant for him.
He had more pressing matters on his mind.
"The pills I gave you before,how's the research on the ingredients going?"Sebastian asked.
Raphael didn't expect him to suddenly ask about this. After pondering for three seconds, he replied, "We still don't know what it's made of."
Honestly, as a pharmaceutical expert, he was more interested in understanding the genius behind the creation of such a drug. If they could find the maker of the pill, Sebastian's poison would surely be neutralized.
Sebastian sighed recalling the girl who had saved him six years ago.
The girl who had gave him that pill.
He had desperately searched for her for so long but it was as if the person who saved him never existed.
The girl was very young, and it seemed unlikely that she was the creator of the pill. However, he had no other options. This was his only lead regarding the girl. Unbeknownst to anyone, he cared more about her than finding the antidote.
He just wanted to know who she was,what she was doing out there that night and why she had saved him.
Did she perhaps know who he was?
But after all this time, there was still not a single clue to be found.
He rubbed his temple, frustratedly.
Seeing the look on his face,Raphael let out, "Sir,did you contact Dr Paz? She's an incredible medical genius,maybe she can find the solution to your problem."
Sebastian narrowed his eyes and turned his head to Bruno,his assistant who was standing by the side of the room.
"What the Dr Paz say?"
"She declined the invitation to meet up with you again."
Dr Paz had a high reputation in the medical world,rumor has it that her few silver needles can bring people back to life,only that this person stays mainly out of sights.She works depending on her mood to take orders.
Bruno had offered fifty million dollars for her to meet up with his boss, but the other party refused.
Upon hearing this,Sebastian was not swayed. He slightly raised his sharp and cold gaze.
"Double the price."He instructed.
He strongly felt that Dr Paz might know about that girl.Now he couldn't afford to miss any opportunities.
Ding-ling, ding-ling.
Suddenly, the landline on Sebastian's desk rang. The three people present were all stunned. Who would call the CEO's internal line?
Sebastian looked up at Bruno, who immediately shook his head in terror. He had no idea what was going on! He had emphasized not to use this internal line without permission!
Sebastian sighed, suppressing his anger as he pressed the speakerphone button. "What is it?"
The voice on the other end came from the front desk downstairs, stuttering, "S-Sir... I'm very sorry..."
Sebastian impatiently interrupted her, "Don't waste words."
His cold tone froze the person on the other end, who quickly reported, "Sir, there's a lady who wishes to see you."
This statement thoroughly angered Sebastian, who had already run out of patience. With a dark gaze, he questioned, "Is this your first day on the job?"
Implicit in his words was the suggestion that if such a simple matter couldn't be handled, it might be better not to work at all.
Seeing his boss about to explode, Bruno quickly spoke to ease the tension, "Who is the lady?"
The cautious voice on the phone replied, "She... she said... she is our boss's... fiancée..."
***
Downstairs, Andrea stood in front of the reception desk, awaiting an answer.
People around her were throwing glances, well aware that their boss despised women. They wondered how she had the nerve to claim to be the CEO's fiancée.
However, after the front desk reported, a thunderous roar echoed from the phone, "I don't have a damn fiancée!"
The voice was so loud that even Andrea could hear it. The receptionist, instinctively affected by the volume, pulled the receiver away.
As if anticipating the reaction, Andrea shouted into the phone, "I'm not making pointless claims. I have proof that we're engaged!"
The air hung silent for what felt like an eternity for everyone present, anxiously awaiting Sebastian's judgment.
Soon, a sigh came through the receiver, followed by, "Let her come up."
All eyes widened instantly.
What was going on?! This woman was actually the boss's fiancée!
Smiling, Andrea, under the shocked gazes of everyone, was escorted upstairs.
***
Upstairs, Sebastian forcefully hung up the phone, pressing his throbbing temples as he walked towards the window.
The woman claimed to have evidence. He knew exactly what it was—a diamond pendant.
Since childhood, his grandmother had repeatedly told him about his fiancée, who would come with a memento. He never expected it to happen for real.
No, this couldn't be! He needed to find a way to send this woman away.
However, he wasn't too worried; he believed that offering some money should resolve the issue.
With this thought in mind, he turned to Bruno, who was still in shock, and instructed, "Prepare a blank check."
At that very moment, Andrea had been led to the top floor.
The CEO's office was the only office on this floor so it wasn't hard for her to locate it.
Through the glass door,she saw three men standing inside the office.
Without knocking,she walked in and called,tentatively.
"Sebastian Munoz?"
The gentle,sweet voice of the young girl rang out like a sweet, clear spring.
Sebastian glanced at her with impatience, furrowing his brow in preparation to ask how much money she wanted. However, with just one look, he was hit by the biggest shock of his life.
The girl was wearing a beige crocheted shirt and a maxi skirt,her feet were encased in a pair of flat shoes,her long back slightly curly hair was draped behind her. With a cool temperament,fair skin,picturesque eyebrows,and eyes like twinkling stairs,she looked pure and young.
Most importantly, those eyes—the most beautiful gray eyes he had ever seen.
It was her!
The girl from six years ago, the one he had dreamed of incessantly, the girl he had longed for!
(Flashbacks)It was a cold day and it was likely about to rain.The sound of bullets rung through the woods.Sebastian Munoz ran for his life through the woods and soon the rains started falling.It was raining so heavily and he was drenched in no time but he didn't stop running.He couldn't."There he is.Get him!"A man yelled from behind him and Sebastian quickened his steps.He was so tired and he felt so weak.He had already been shot on the arm and it was getting so hard to stay conscious."He's wounded.Don't let him get away!"Another man yelled.Sebastian quickly hid behind a tree,he was panting hard as he stared at his bleeding arm."Fuck!"He cursed.Looking around,alertly,he pulled out his silenced pistol and aimed it at one of the men.The men was surprised when one of them drop dead to the ground.They grew more alert when another one fell to the ground again.Now it was just two of them remaining."He's using a silent gun!"The heftier one announced."I know where he is!"Seba
Sebastian was so shocked that his hands were trembling slightly.Raphael, beside him, teased, "Sir, your fiancée is so beautiful. It's our first time meeting her!"Sebastian quickly adjusted himself, swallowed hard, and tried to stay calm. "I'm Sebastian. And you are?"Andrea glanced at Raphael and Bruno before fixing her eyes on Sebastian.Her eyes flickered slightly as she took in his handsome face.Clearly the pictures she had seen online didn't prepare her for his good looks.She gazed at the man in front of her in a black suit,healthy complexion with a face that was cold and handsome with clear angles.He had short, dark, lush hair,sexy lips under a high nose.She nodded, almost certain that her plan would succeed. A perfect man like him couldn't possibly be interested in someone without power or influence like her."I'm Andrea Aguero. I'm your fiancée."Sebastian grimaced. "Where's your proof?"The low,magnetic voice entered Andrea's ears,making her feel like a feather was gently
Andrea was totally speechless.This wasn’t how she pictured this going at all.She didn’t even imagine that he would agree.To clear her conscience as to regards to the promise she made to her grandma,she had only wanted to come here and inform him about their engagement.She felt that he would instantly refuse but then her grandmother won’t blame her too much for not marrying this man.At least she had try to reason with him but suddenly, he agreed.Now what was she supposed to do?She never took this engagement seriously.She didn’t want to marry someone she barely knew.She was still lost in her thoughts wondering what to do.How could she escape this marriage union without upsetting this powerful man and also the spirit of her grandmother?Sebastian on the other hand was very thrilled about this union.He said to Bruno.“Go bring the car to the front door.”Bruno and Raphael’s shocked mouths couldn’t close.What was going on?They knew very well about how Sebastian had sworn never to g
Andrea looked at the man with a smile on his face.Was he so happy to be married to her?Why?They barely knew each other.Sighing, she turned around and went to get a few of her necessities.Ten minutes later,Andrea dragged a small suitcase over and glanced at Sebastian.”We can go now.”Sebastian thoughtfully looked at the tiny suitcase in her hands and smiled,gently.He reached out for the suitcase.“Give it to me.”“It’s not heavy.”“I can’t let my woman carry anything.”He said, softly.Andrea tried not to blush but it was fruitless.Just what was this man doing to her and it was just the first day.*************It was getting a bit late when they arrived at Sebastian’s mansion.The entire architectural design for king-style and elegant.She stared at the garden and marveled at how beautiful it was.The Ferrari slowly drove into the villa and stopped at the entrance.A middle-aged man in a suit came forward to open the door.He spoke,respectfully.”Young master.””Sebastian get out of
His Grandmother still didn’t believe him.She felt that he was trying to deceive her so she would arrange any more blind dates for him.“If you want me to believe that you suddenly got married.Bring her to her.”Sebastian rubbed his temple.”I’ll bring her to you when I’m free,Grandma.”After saying that, he ended the call and continued the work at hard.Grand Violeta stared at the phone in her hand.Was her Grandson really trying to deceive her?Was he being honest?How could that old man arrange a marriage for him without telling her?If she had known about it, she wouldn’t have been so worked up about finding Sebastian a wife.**********After Sebastian finished handling things, it was already past eleven o’clock.Returning to the bedroom,he saw the little lady sleeping on his bed,holding the quilt to her chest.He slowly advanced towards her and then took in her sleeping form.She looked so beautiful in her sleep.Sebastian took off the jacket on his body,then went to the bathroom t
Bruno walked into Sebastian’s office with what he had requested for.“Sir, this is the young lady’s information that I could find.”Sebastian took the iPad from him and read through.“Is this all you could find?It’s just too basic.”Bruno sighed.”I tried to find more but it was as if all information about her had been intentionally erased.”Sebastian looked at him expression and continued to stare at the photo of the girl on the iPad screen.He just couldn’t get over how beautiful his wife was.“Sebastian,we all know how prompt and thorough Bruno is about finding information of a person.It doesn’t feel right that he found nothing on this girl,you have to be careful.”Luca Diaz said.Sebastian eyed him and snapped.”You talk too much.There’s nothing wrong with my wife!”But he knew there was more to that wife of his.How did she save him six year ago?Luca sighed.”I’m just looking out for you.”“Looking out for me?Are you trying to say that my wife is a dangerous person?”Sebastian asked,
Andrea stared at the clothes in the hands of the attendant and then she ordered.“Wrap them up.There’s no need to try them on.”Then she pointed to another set of clothes in another style.“And that set too.Wrap them up for my friend.”The attendant nodded.”Okay.”It was rare to meet such a quick and straightforward customer.She didn’t even need to try every one of the outfit at all.“I’ll take that dress.”A voice came from behind them.Andrea looked behind her to see a girl dressed fashionably and wearing exquisite make up.She was walking towards her.The attendant smiled awkwardly.“Sorry, this dress has already been taken by this lady.But we have others that you’d like.”On the side, there were other dresses on limited editions,with only one of each style made in each size.Camila had already seen them,there was nothing special about the other styles, she didn’t like them at all.This style of dress was what she had seen on the website and she had come here today just for this dre
Andrea’s head tilted up,slightly,her eyes gazing at the man,and she whispered.“I’m not quite used to it.”Though she kinda liked being held by him but it made her feel so nervous.Sebastian rubbed her chin against her hair, his voice was gentle.“It’s okay.You’ll get used to it soon,Andrea.”How could she argue with that?Especially when he calls her name like that.“Andrea,we’re married and we’ll be together forever.I believe it’s time we start getting used to each other.”Sebastian’s thin lips skimmed over her ear,Andrea felt a warm breath tickling her ear.Why was this man so soft with her?She had heard so many rumors about him not liking women.Feeling her heart racing again,she shrunk her neck and decided to change the topic.“Sebastian, I have some work I have to take care of at home later,I’d like to get a study room for myself,is that okay?”Sebastian sighed,feeling like she didn’t need to ask him permission for these kind of things.“Andrea,everything I have belongs to you n
*EPILOGUE*MANY YEARS LATER..."Mom tell Vinn and Christian to stop going through my phone!"Andrea and Sebastian’s daughter,Leah yelled walking into the dining room where Sebastian,Vinn and Christian sat eating Lunch.Yeah,Sebastian and Andrea finally had children of their own.Andrea had gotten pregnant at the time when her mother was still recovering.She and Sebastian indeed confirmed that her mother was related to the Diaz family and Mona was able to finally reunite with her family.She also got all her memories back though it took some time.A lot happened over the past few years,Raphael got better and also got back his memories and him and Isobel got married and were blessed with beautiful children.Luca found love in Paula,Elias found love in April and Xavier found love in Sofia.Fernando and Reina were able to see Grandma Violeta again who was super thrilled to see Reina and Xavier finally got to meet his mother.Andrea and Sebastian finally got their perfect wedding ceremony
Ortiz shook his leg, looked at a large tree in the distance, and responded carelessly, "I don’t have any money for that.”It has already costing him a lot to go sightseeing with her.The man felt something heavy in his hand and, looking down,he was stunned.Holy shit,it was actually a piece of gold!"Is this enough?" The girl asked.When Ortiz saw this, he quickly pulled her sleeve and walked to a large tree, asking with a serious expression, "Where did this come from?"Did she not say she was from a remote place?How did she get this piece of gold?"These were given to me by my grandpa and uncle in the past, don't worry, they're not stolen."Ortiz froze for a moment, were all the people in the mountains so wealthy now?He couldn’t take this from her.He looked at the heavy gold in his hand, turned his head to the side, and very reluctantly gave it back to April again.“Since it's for you, hurry up and put it away, don't lose it." He was a man, he couldn't afford to be greedy.April g
It had been a few days since she had followed Elias here, and she hadn't even been out of the house.Elias was busy every day,she could hardly see him around , and was not allow her to leave.Even to go anywhere, she needed a card of some kind to get out, and where could she have that?!April expressed her distress, in this place, it really wasn't like the Ancient Clan, it was hard to sneak around!Once Ortiz heard this, he thoughtfully sized up the little girl in front of him again, he was secretly pleased.So she did not want his money as compensation.This was great.It just so happened that he wasn't familiar with the place, so he could take a free tour guide."No problem, get up, don't delay the tour." Ortiz stood up, waved at her, and walked directly forward.Hearing this,Mona immediately stood up, smiling as she followed behind Ortiz while rubbing her buttocks."Okay, okay, let's hurry.”She didn’t want to get caught.Thus, the two soon arrived at the Villa gates.Ortiz had a s
The next couple of days,Andrea was treating Mona.Although that 'Flower of Life' had awakened her, it was also extremely helpful with her recovering.However, due to Mona’s long slumber, her bodily functions were not yet able to recover quickly.However, it was good to know that Rigel had taken good care of her over the years.Every day since she was in a coma,she had a regular limbs massage, turn over for her, plus the treatment of other drugs.Therefore, Mona’s muscle atrophy is not serious.So, Andrea went to chat with her mother every day, and told her roughly what had happened recently.And she continued to give acupuncture for Mona every day, and even told Ortiz to specially send the latest developed special drugs from the research institute.At the moment,Ortiz was carrying a special small box with an excited heart, and with a surprised face, he was led by the maid to the house where Andrea was staying.He looked left and right and couldn't help but sigh.Andrea was just awesom
Seeing his father in this state,Elias let out a light laugh, and then, together with Rigel,hr rushed over towards Mona’s place.Not a moment too soon,the two of them then arrived at the door of Mona’s room.Suddenly, however,Rigel stopped in his tracks.He looked at the door to the room, his heart was tense with anticipation, and both of his hands were unconsciously clenched together.Seeing his father stop in his tracks,Elias asked suspiciously, "Father, what's wrong with you?Why are we stopping?”Rigel calmed down, and then, very carefully, straightened out his clothes again.He glanced at Elias beside him and asked with a serious expression, "Elias, have I aged a lot?Would your mother be shocked to see me like this now?"Twenty year has passed.He wasn't the same young lad he once was, he was much older, even gray hairs were coming out.Would his Mona be shocked when she woke up and saw him like this?Elias saw his father reveal this rare appearance of nervousness and helplessness,
The wind at night was comfortably cool.After dinner,Rigel and Elias went to the office as they still had some work matters to attend to.Andrea and Sebastian also didn't return to their own place, but went to Mona’s place again.After a day's observation,Andrea realized that Mona’s body had reacted greatly compared to the previous days, so she decided to go back at night to check the situation.The two of them walked into Mona’s room hand in hand, and they happened to bump into two maid, who had finished massaging Mona’s limbs."Ma’am!" The maid saw the two walk in and rose to greet them respectfully.Andrea nodded and asked, "Is there anything going on with my mother in the meantime?"The maid shook her head, “Ma’am, she's still the same as before, there's no other special signs.""Okay, I got it, you guys can leave now."After Andrea finished speaking, she then walked over to Mona’s bedside and observed.Then, taking the woman's hand from under the covers, his fingers probed her pu
"Be careful, if you fall into the water,you'll have to swim back to the Ancient Clan." The man then walked over as well, looking lazy and cozy as he leaned against the railing not far away and snickered.April gave him a blank look and continued to enjoy the scenery."Hey, I'll make sure to pull you on before I fall off then."Elias picked up the cell phone in his pocket and looked at the message on it, and couldn't help but let out a light laugh.He didn't say anything else either, and then, as if remembering something interesting that had happened, his thoughts drifted away.The sea breeze was gentle and the night sky is filled with stars.It was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening when they arrived at San Juan.Elias, because he didn't feel comfortable with April being so far from home,he brought her back to the house and personally arranged a place for her to stay.Andrea and Sebastian then went back to the house where they were staying.Since it was already late when the
On the ancient ship, the breeze was gentle.The three of them shook their heads and laughed softly as they looked at the lush and beautiful scenery around them, as well as the wide and crystal clear water.Elias sighed as he saw this, "When we first came in to the Ancient Clan, we spent so much time weaving in and out of the streams and breaking into the jungle, but we didn't realize that it was actually another piece of heaven and earth, worthy of being an Ancient Clan for years."Sebastian wrapped his arm around Andrea slender waist and swept his eyes around with acalm demeanor.Suddenly, there was still quite an admiration for this maternal grandfather of his, managing the Ancient Clan like this was indeed some skill.The man looked at his wristwatch again, and when he saw that it was still very early, he raised an eyebrow towards Elias.“Brother-in-law, it will take some more time to get to San Juan, so take your time and enjoy the scenery first, while Andrea and I go in and rest
"Wife, in fact, my body is really not as weak as you think, wait for some days and you will know." The man gently caressed the woman's long hair and said meaningfully.If he wasn't worried that the toxins in his body hadn't been completely cleared, he really wanted to let this woman know whether his body was good or not, so as to save her from misunderstanding.Reina realized that this man was thinking wrong again, and silently sighed, somewhat speechless.The woman looked down at Fernando, smiled faintly, and snickered, "Well, I know, and logically, after the antidote has been taken for three days, the toxins can basically be expelled from the body as well."“I can see that you are indeed in quite a good condition now, so why don't you go back to the guest house and recuperate for a few days."When Fernando heard this, he was instantly displeased.It was so hard to find his wife, and the previous misunderstanding had been cleared up, so what else would he go back to the guest house f
