My Devil Billionaire : Give Me Your Heart 28. Marriage offer.
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
My Devil Billionaire : Give Me Your Heart 29. Granting your obsession.
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

Amanda got out of the taxi after paying for it, and she looked around. The atmosphere around her was so unfamiliar. She had never set foot in this place.Strange, she felt like that. Oriaga invited her to meet at an old abandoned building; it looked creepy outside, and Amanda found the man's car parked near a tree."Does he want to take me on a guts test in this place, huh?" Amanda chuckled. She stuffed her hands in her jacket pockets before entering the multi-story building. Oriaga explained that Amanda had to meet him on the third floor, so the woman had to step on the stairs without iron railings.Annoying.Amanda managed to find him, and the man stood next to one of the support pillars at the corner of the room. He was wearing a black shirt and had his sleeves rolled up to his elbows.Oriaga stood with her back to Amanda, and the woman frowned as smoke billowed around Oriaga."Did you come?" Oriaga turned around, and he smiled in response to Amanda's appearance. An e-cigarette was
My Devil Billionaire : Give Me Your Heart 32. Final decision.
"Amanda. Where have you been since—""Just sign the marriage offer, Mom. I won't dodge anymore." Amanda walked past her mother, and she had no energy to fight back, and she was trapped and forced to play the game.Pamela paused, thought, and then smiled. She had intended to go to Amanda, who had just disappeared behind the bedroom door, but when Amanda slammed the door, Pamela understood."I don't know what happened to her, but it's best to follow the girl's wishes since she has made up her mind." Pamela rushed into her room and removed Oriaga's gift folder from the drawer. And she was eager to fill in the signature. Now, she needs to wait for Oriaga to return to this house to hand it over. "Live peacefully, we will meet again."Meanwhile, Amanda flopped down on the bed, hiding her face on the pillow's surface until it was wet with tears. She cried again when she had to remember Oriaga's threat; the old friend who used to be so kind to her now became a heartless demon.Why did her par
My Devil Billionaire : Give Me Your Heart 33. Failed dinner.
"Zayn, what do you think is the punishment for someone who tries to capitalize on someone else's popularity?" Oriaga sat in the passenger seat, dressed in a white suit and black bow tie, to attend an exclusive dinner with model Elia Pinot."Playing her," Zayn replied, interested in guessing someone's name. "Is this about Miss Amanda?"Oriaga chuckled. "No, if Amanda wanted my popularity, she would have never asked me to meet and insisted on revoking the marriage offer. She would have bragged to everyone that she had slept with me.""You met?" He knew nothing about the moment of the meeting and was driving his car without a driver or assistant, so no one knew."Yes. Yesterday, we met, and she forced me to stop. Can you guess who won, Zayn?""You, sir."Oriaga smiled with satisfaction. "She can't do anything else, and she'll follow all my wishes.""So, who was that someone you described earlier?""The woman who asked me to dinner just now.""Ah, okay."They stopped talking as the car en
My Devil Billionaire : Give Me Your Heart 34. Dinner at your house.
"Zayn. I managed to follow your advice," Oriaga said after sitting in the passenger seat. He laughed, remembering Elia's expression when Oriaga ended their ill-fated dinner.Zayn frowned at the man's behavior. "What does that mean, sir? I don't understand.""I played a trick on her and ruined her dream dinner. I punished her.""Oh my." Zayn couldn't believe it, and he drove the car out of the basement parking lot. "You did it, sir?""Yes. Maybe I could have run away while pretending to go to the toilet, but it seemed so embarrassing and made my self-esteem drop before her eyes. I didn't want others to judge me that low.""Then what made your wish come true?""You must find this hard to believe, but I must say that Amanda called when the situation favored my wish to escape from that place immediately.""Wow!""So, now that I'm visiting her house, I want to see her upset face when she finds out that her future husband is coming.""Yes, sir."***Amanda slammed her cell phone on the bed

"Auntie has signed?" asked Oriaga after finishing his dinner, making the woman beside the man glare in annoyance."Yes. I did when Amanda came home after disappearing for most of the day.""Amanda disappeared?" Oriaga looked at the woman."Probably because she was looking for answers, but everything is fine now. I'll get the folder from the room, and we should move to the living room."Pamela quickly moved on. The other two people moved first to the living room and sat nearby. Amanda did not want to sit next to the man, so she waited for Oriaga to sit down before finding a place for herself.Oriaga wouldn't care if Amanda was that annoying right now because after the wedding day—Oriaga would control and organize her. So, now he let Amanda be as harmful to him as she wanted. Let's say let the butterflies fly before catching them and putting them in the jar.Pamela returned, smiling as she placed the folder on the table and sat beside Oriaga, about an inch away."I filled out the signat

"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

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
My Devil Billionaire : Give Me Your Heart 113. Keep the promise.
"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

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."
