When Oriaga arrives home, Joana calls, saying that Mr. Xiao Yen's assistant contacted her and apologized for having to cancel today's dinner invitation, they had to return to Shanghai for some reason.Feeling sorry for Oriaga, Mr. Xiao Yen sent a gift to the man's office, but since she was off work Joana couldn't pick up the gift from Xiao Yen, she was still taking care of her daughter at home."It's okay, Zayn and Dean will take it to the office. It'll be held up by security anyway since the office is closed." Oriaga said as he walked towards his room. "You, enjoy your rest, Joana.""Yes, sir. I apologize once again for disturbing your vacation.""No problem." The call ended, Oriaga entered the room and immediately pulled his white collared T-shirt over his neck, leaving him shirtless. Muscles and veins stood out in several places, especially the arms and the backs of the hands.He turned to the bathroom, standing in front of the sink mirror to stare at himself to his heart's content

The gift from Mr. Xiao Yen had come, Oriaga immediately took it to the room and opened a shopping bag with a famous bag brand name, he could guess the contents, but another thing stole Oriaga's attention, a small black box hidden in the corner of the shopping bag.Oriaga took out and placed the black box on the table, only about the size of a palm. After opening it, there was a flash drive and a piece of paper, Oriaga frowned.'Hi, Mr. Oriaga Niel Thompson.I'm sending this written sentence because I can't meet you, our time has become very tight, but I'll say it anyway. Please take a look at the contents of that pendrive, and you'll find anything–whether it's important to you I don't, but it seems useful.Sender,Xiao Lei'"What does that girl mean?" Oriaga muttered, he picked up the laptop and placed it on the table, then connected the flash drive to the device.There were two folders, one of which contained four photo files, and the rest were screenshots with many sentences like le

"Last night Dad called me.""Are you sure?" The morning news was quite surprising for Nadine. "Why didn't you call me too?""He said that his cell phone was lost, he contacted me using a different number.""Did you tell mom?"Amanda shook her head. "I don't know how to say it, but you can guess how she'll respond, right?"Nadine nodded, they could easily deduce that. "You're right, she'll just keep talking nonstop."Amanda told Nadine only after seeing Pamela come out of the house, and her two daughters behind the dining table. Nadine started breakfast because she had to go to work, while Amanda didn't touch her breakfast, she looked very lazy."You must be getting bored just being at home with mom," Nadine said."I can watch movies on my laptop, don't worry about it.""If mom is trying to influence you, let it go, Amanda.""Yes. I learned a lot from you.""I'll be back sooner." It was as if Nadine had left her sister with a criminal, while Amanda was a woman of twenty-plus years. "Ca

Keeping a promise to her grandmother, Oriaga managed to take her time and return to London with Grandma Gloria, where their old house still stands and two workers clean the grand place now and then.The two had agreed not to sell the house with all their memories, but they had to leave it for Amsterdam, so Oriaga asked and hired someone else to take care of the house.As the car enters the courtyard, the atmosphere is quite different from the last time they left the house. The yard was clean and many trees were growing around, making the air cooler and more peaceful.Grandma Gloria smiled as she got out of the car, she looked at her old house, but tears soon appeared on the old woman's face, she couldn't keep her sadness in."Grandma." Oriaga became anxious. "Is Grandma okay?" He tried to support his grandmother's body so she wouldn't fall."No, Oriaga. I'm fine, I'm just feeling both sad and happy that I'm back in this place after more than seven years." She accepted the tissue sheet

It's been almost two months since Amanda found a job, she's been a mess and losing weight because she has too much on her mind, besides the pressure from her mother, Amanda's savings running low, especially about a week ago suddenly her father's former company workers who had gone bankrupt managed to find their house and asked for compensation money for mass dismissal.Of course, Amanda couldn't help herself, she couldn't find a way out. If she was still working, Amanda could apply for a loan from the company with monthly salary deductions as repayment installments.However, now Amanda was unemployed, while Nadine's salary would not be enough if she had to pay every debt and take care of daily needs.Half of the job applications she sent were rejected, and the rest went unanswered, making Amanda even more anxious about her future.She had even gone directly to several companies to apply for jobs, but continued to receive rejections, the woman was desperate."Call your father and tell

Pamela was home alone after her youngest daughter asked permission to go to the convenience store. She immediately shut the door and locked it after seeing a black rolls-royce pulled up on the side of the road—right in front of her yard, scaring the hell out of Pamela—suspecting that whoever was there was a debt collector."When are they going to stop, huh?" Pamela closed all the curtains, but she peeked out anyway—seeing a man in a maroon suit getting out after the driver opened the door; another car had just arrived, and two men in black jackets were also getting out—following the man in the maroon suit walking down Pamela's yard. "Oh my, who are they?"Their appearance was neater than the debt collectors who always came here. Even the scent of their perfume was inhaled by Pamela even though the door had not been opened, making her even more confused.Someone cleared his throat. The three of them were already standing before the door, and then there was a knock. Pamela's body became

Amanda had just come out of the convenience store after paying for her bag full of groceries, and she was walking back down the sidewalk towards home.At first, everything was fine; she greeted a few staircases as she passed them or saw them in front of her house, but an unusual sight on the side of the road—right in front of the woman's yard —made Amanda frown. Her heart beat faster, and she recognized the black Rolls-Royce and one other car there."Wh-what is she doing here? He was at my house, huh?" Panic striking her, she quickened her pace and saw Oriaga in her house, sitting on the sofa while talking to someone else. "What crazy things are happening in my house."She dropped her shopping bag, and the contents scattered on the floor. She was even more shocked to see Oriaga having an intimate conversation with her mother."Amanda. Are you home?" Pamela's voice rang out. "Come in, and someone is here to visit you."Amanda's body trembled, and she even saw her mother smiling when sh

"Normally, I always disagree with Mom, but this turns out we're on the same page. Why didn't you say so from the start?" Nadine snorted, asking the same question but using a softer, calmer voice, unlike Pamela, who had snapped at Amanda.Her sister shook her head. "Because I didn't know where to start; everything went so fast. I thought everything would be fine if I kept quiet, but I missed Oriaga can do anything.""I should have been suspicious when I saw you looking up that guy's profile on your laptop, but I thought it was because you were once close friends." Nadine cleared her throat, and she touched her sister's arm. They stood next to Amanda's bedroom window as the shorthand hit one in the morning.Nadine came home from work feeling normal, but when she got home, she was in for a rude shock. Pamela had asked Nadine to sign a piece of paper offering marriage from Oriaga.Pamela couldn't wait to fill it in, and she didn't need to wait a week or even a day. Pamela could agree to i

"Immediately prepare the data of all office employees with contracts that are about to expire at the end of this year, Joana. The data should be ready by the time I get to the office, probably in an hour due to the situation outside. Thank you." Oriaga put his phone back after ending the call.The three were in the car, still halfway to the mansion. As Zayn was driving was deliberately slowed down to keep up with the clearing of the surrounding snow piles.Zayn deliberately set the music to make the atmosphere in the car less quiet because since the pair of humans sat in the passenger seat, they were united in silence as if there was a cold war."Sir. Do we have to return home after taking Miss Amanda to the mansion?" Zayn asked as he glanced at the overhead mirrors, confirming the situation behind him."No, no. It's too time-consuming. I have a few changes of clothes in the office.""Alright.""Do you want to buy anything before arriving at the mansion?"The question had not been rea

"What were you guys talking about that you only came back to this room near midnight? You seem to have a lot of energy."Amanda snorted as she stared irritably at the gray-shirted man on the bed. She thought Oriaga had fallen asleep since leaving the living room about two hours earlier, while Amanda had joined her family to relieve her longing."Although I have little energy, I will try to make the most of my time when it comes to my family." Amanda sat on the edge of the bed, her back to her husband."Yes, of course, you can only see them when I give you the chance."Amanda made no sound. She lay in the space beside Oriaga as she pulled up the blanket. She didn't want to face the man, so she tilted her body to the right."You're going to ignore me?""You ignore me a lot, Oriaga. Don't overdo it.""Exaggerate? I very rarely even lie beside you.""It's not my fault, you did it. I've always been lying in the mansion's bed at your convenience while you chose to sleep elsewhere.""You're
My Devil Billionaire : Give Me Your Heart 114. Win-win solution.
Amanda was all smiles from the moment she stepped back into her parents' home, receiving a warm welcome, and it was fortunate that Nadine had returned to work as soon as she could after receiving word from Mateo that her sister would be visiting.If there had been no such news, Nadine would most likely have approached Rudolf at his coffee shop to help her lover."Mom, I have a gift for you," Oriaga said as he took something out of his coat pocket before removing it: a blue jewelry box with the 'Gregorious' emblem on the top. He placed it on the table right in front of Pamela.About five people sat on the sofa by the lit fireplace, the atmosphere becoming quite warm as the light in the sky dimmed."What is this, Oriaga?" Pamela grabbed the object and opened it, and she was quite surprised to find a bracelet with several pearls around it, very pretty and luxurious. "Oh my! This must be expensive.""Is it the latest collection from your brand?" asked Nadine.Oriaga shook his head. "No, i

"I want to go back to work.""Work?" Pamela was surprised to hear her husband's wish. "Why go back to work? Don't we have enough to live for?""Yes. I know." The man grunted as he leaned back on the sofa—they were sitting by the dying fireplace. "Your son-in-law did guarantee our lives, even paid all the debts, but don't you think if one-day Oriaga announces his marriage to everyone, they will ask, 'Who is that man married to? What is her family background?' do you know what I mean, Pamela?"The wife paused, then snorted as she understood the meaning of Mateo's words. "It seems like this could cause a bit of trouble.""Right, aside from the judgment of others, I also want to protect my daughter from anyone's evil words. Although I'm sure Oriaga is taking good care of her, there's still a bit of guilt when I remember why Amanda had to get married."Mateo thought back to the past. If it weren't for the massive debt, he probably wouldn't have accepted Pamela's decision for Amanda to marr
My Devil Billionaire : Give Me Your Heart 112. Interrogate.
"You know a guy named Jeff pretty well, huh?"Amanda didn't budge, as her husband was visiting the mansion in the middle of the night for the winter. In other people's homes, they choose to rest or watch thrilling romance movies, but at the mansion, a man named Oriaga Niel Thompson is trying to harass his wife.Amanda is already asleep and is forced to wake up due to Oriaga's relentless harassment, causing her to almost punch him in the face.Now, Amanda had to stand facing Oriaga in the library, and the opening question was enough to make Amanda understand the annoying situation."Why not answer it, Amanda?"The woman exhaled harshly, folding her arms across her chest. "I'm sure you already know the answer, so why ask, huh?""I have the right to say anything.""How ridiculous. You woke me up to ask about Jeff, huh?""Again, I have the right to say anything. After all, this is my house. I also have the right to disturb anyone, including you.""I hate to hear such strange rules.""Seco
My Devil Billionaire : Give Me Your Heart 111. Stop, Jeff!
Oriaga had examined some of the latest jewelry designs submitted by the three Gregorious jewelry designers. Still, the man had not shown any satisfaction with the images on the table, either because he had not found the best or was influenced by something else.It was a good thing he was alone in the CEO's office, so he wasn't asked to comment on the designs because Oriaga didn't have a definitive answer yet, his mind like a ship adrift in the middle of the ocean. Thanks to Amanda's words this morning, he was not eager to work.He collected all the design papers and intended to put them in a drawer. He could review the designs tomorrow or the day after before commenting on their flaws or satisfaction. Still, after pulling out the drawer and finding Amanda's cell phone, Oriaga's attention was distracted.He put the design paperback on the table and took out Amanda's cell phone, which had been stored there for months. He immediately connected the object to a powerbank. When the cell pho

Amanda exhaled harshly when she looked in the mirror before the sink and found several kiss marks around her chest and neck. The man was being quite brutal, more than usual, making Amanda feel tortured even though it wasn't violent.She quickly took off her entire towel kimono before soaking in the bathtub filled with soothing, warm water. At least this room was the best reason for Amanda to secure herself. If Oriaga woke up, the man would immediately repeat their hot activities like a hyper while his wife had given up.It was now close to midnight, and Amanda ventured into the bath as the snow piled up more and more outside."That man should go home. I don't want him to stay here, and all my joints are aching from the pressure of Oriaga. What's gotten into him like that, huh?" She complained even if she said it in front of Oriaga, he wouldn't care; he was just obsessed with Amanda's body.She hadn't realized that someone had woken up and searched for her while feeling the bed's surfa

Amanda's feelings became anxious after Oriaga ended their video call. Although his expression was flat when he spotted it, intonation was enough to emphasize that the man was angry, even though Amanda had not shown the final part of the lingerie that she had cut out carelessly.Amanda swallowed; from the beginning, she realized that she had challenged Oriaga, but when the man answered her challenge—it caused a different kind of anxiety, and Amanda didn't like the way she felt.She lowered the lingerie box from the top of the closet, double-checked, put the item back, then double-checked. She kept doing this because the confusion, as the saying goes, 'rice has become porridge,' fit Amanda's anxiety perfectly.Time passed, and it became dark. All the lights in the mansion were bright, including Amanda's room, but she still couldn't shake off the anxiety. She sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the lingerie box on the surface of the dressing table."What else am I supposed to do with
My Devil Billionaire : Give Me Your Heart 108. Lingerie.
The man wasn't lying, and he sent many things to the mansion the day after visiting his wife. Many boxes piled up in the main room, making Amanda angry at her husband's behavior.What looked like a variety of gifts from many people, and damn those items were from luxury brands. Amanda regretted she should have insisted that Oriaga buy something ordinary so that she could wear it without thinking about the price."Miss. Should we move all these boxes to your room?" asked one maid among the other two; they witnessed Amanda getting frustrated."I don't know." The woman sat down on the sofa, supporting her chin with her hands as she stared at the pile of multicolored boxes. "Why would he buy this much stuff, huh? It's too much, and he could have used the money to donate to an orphanage or something.""But, Miss. Isn't Mr. Oriaga a regular donor at an orphanage?" A servant interjected as Amanda spoke to herself."Really? Where is it?""I'm sorry, Miss. But, we don't know enough about it."
