My Devil Billionaire : Give Me Your Heart 70. A father's request.
"Where are you right now? Why didn't I see you at the boss's house?" Dean asked over the phone.Zayn stared at the Griscouvs' mansion, he was still sitting in the car when Amanda and Oriaga were at the Griscouvs' house. "I'll give you 100$ if you can guess, Dean.""You're trying to make fun of me, huh? You must be in Gregorious' office."Zayn smiled wryly. "Of course not, I can even send you the location right now if you have any doubts.""Then where is it, huh? Give me that 100$.""I'm in front of Miss Amanda's parents' house.""Bastard! Is that true? Don't hallucinate, Zayn. You must be alone because I'm not sure the boss will—""The boss is with me." Zayn grinned even more, happy to discuss all the absurdities about Oriaga with Dean. "You still don't believe me?""Wait a minute. Is Miss Amanda there too?""Of course, they had their first visit after getting married three months ago. Isn't it very romantic? Give me your 100$, Dean.""Hey! I didn't ask you to bet, brat.""But, you're

"I would like to apologize to you on behalf of my parents, especially my father. I'm sorry if any of his words may have offended or even hurt you, believe me, he didn't know anything." Amanda had a wide range of feelings to say this, which she had dared to express to her husband since returning from the Griscouv family home.The four wheels of the car were still moving, but they would soon arrive at the mansion, since entering the car—there was no conversation whatsoever, Oriaga and Amanda were thinking about the burden in their heads. Meanwhile, Zayn was busy guessing the next plot.Before visiting Amanda's parents' house, they were still able to taunt and warn each other, but after leaving that place, their moods became quite chaotic, especially Oriaga. He just didn't show it to anyone.Amanda felt very reluctant to face Oriaga, she couldn't forbid Mateo to stop saying anything, didn't almost all fathers want the best happiness if their daughter married a man and took her away from

"I'm so glad to know that Mr. Oriaga took his wife to visit your parents' house, Miss," Aunt Rosemary said as she served breakfast this morning, she hadn't had a chance to ask Amanda yesterday because Oriaga's wife hadn't come downstairs since returning from her parents' house."Yes. I'm confused too, what got into her to be so generous, I thought he would never do that."Aunt Rosemary smiled, she dared to say it directly to Amanda because they had become very close since Oriaga's wife invited her to exchange ideas. Something no other servant could have done."But, I can't feel relieved after all this, Auntie. I don't know why, my mind is pressing like that.""Mr. Oriaga does change easily, then revert to his original character.""Maybe it's because he met Nadine, my sister, that his way of thinking has become different. Whatever it is is a little better, I even forgot to thank him.""You can do that when Mr. Oriaga comes back to visit the mansion."Amanda nodded. "Thank you for the f

The man got out of the car with a big smile, he was carrying a shopping bag that he wanted to share with Amanda, then Jeff walked down the yard, but an irregularity was seen when Jeff found that Amanda's porch light was on, while it was already noon, the light should have been extinguished.Not only that, but the dust had accumulated there, and when Jeff picked up his shoes, his footprints were imprinted on the floor, leaving the owner even more confused. He wasn't too surprised that the window blinds or doors were closed tightly during the day, depending on the homeowner's convenience.Jeff knocked on the door, calling Amanda and Pamela's names, but there was no answer, so he turned to Amanda's bedroom window, knocking again.Someone cleared their throat.Jeff turned around to find a middle-aged man standing on the sidewalk, watching the stranger."Ah. I can ask you a question." He smiled awkwardly as he approached the old man. "Sorry, Uncle. My name is Jeff, I'd like to—""Are you l

"GUEST!!!" Joana looked panicked after returning from the restroom, while they enjoyed lunch at a restaurant in the center of Moscow after submitting evidence of Elia Pinot's crimes to the police station in the city.Oriaga not only dragged Elia, but also the media that had spread bad news about him, although the news had been deleted long ago, he still kept a lot of evidence to support his report.Oriaga frowned at Joana's panicked voice. "What happened to make your face look like that, huh?"Joana tried to regulate her breathing, and she sat down opposite Oriaga, they had met a lawyer in this place, but the man left early because he had to take care of another case."Alright, calm yourself down." Oriaga held out a glass of water for Joana to take a sip."Thank you very much, sir."The man waited patiently for Joana to calm down and be able to explain something."So, what's wrong? Why the panic after returning from the restroom? Did you lose something?""No, sir. That's not it." Her
My Devil Billionaire : Give Me Your Heart 75. Kathryn is a mess.
As predicted, the situation at Gregorious had become quite chaotic, especially when their CEO was not in the office, making some people assume wildly and corner Kathryn, fortunately, the woman immediately secured herself after a friend told her about a video from a local brand's website that used her design.Although the man's body was certainly tired, he didn't feel comfortable resting now, Oriaga refused Joana's request for his boss to return home for two or three hours, and the man insisted that he had to meet Kathryn to solve the problem.There had never been any leakage or theft of designs on Gregorious, so the case that occurred was enough to convince Oriaga that anyone must be against him, making the man very upset because he felt played."Where is Kathryn? Can I see that woman now, huh?" The muscles on his face were clearly defined, Oriaga's thick eyebrows almost drew together, and he couldn't look at others with friendliness, he was like a male lion observing an enemy from a

"Bastard! Someone became a traitor in my place, huh!" Oriaga was furious after checking all the CCTV footage and realizing that someone had deleted the activity footage from the CCTV that was taken for three days on a certain date and month, enough to prove that anyone was acting with caution.Kathryn's workspace was attached to another designer's cubicle, as they were working as a team, so the work area was very open and anyone could see it without having to look at the CCTV footage, but if the theft did happen must have taken place during a quiet time.However, there was no footage showing anyone else except team members around Kathryn's cubicle. Fortunately, they noticed the irregularities on certain dates that didn't show any CCTV footage, while everyone was confident that it was functioning properly.Kathryn also didn't know the exact day the theft took place, leaving everyone even more confused."Are you lying to me, huh!" Burning with emotion, Oriaga lost control, grabbing Kath

"How is it, Joana? Did they give you an answer yet?" Two questions quickly escaped Oriaga's lips when Joana visited the hospital after office hours, the man had woken up from his sleep about fifteen minutes ago, and he asked Dean to pick Joana up and bring her to the hospital.The woman hadn't even opened her mouth to greet Oriaga, but she had to understand that her boss kept thinking about office matters while lying weak like this.Joana smiled faintly, she tried to hide her anxiety, but she realized that even if she admitted it—Oriaga probably wouldn't care, or invite her to discuss other matters.Joana shook her head. "Not yet, sir."Oriaga chuckled. "It's crazy, are they deliberately ignoring me, huh? This is the most subtle way we can talk about it without resorting to demands, or even magnifying the issue at hand.""Sir." Joana snorted, she was saddened to see the condition of her boss—who was still very fit this morning, then suddenly lay helpless on the same day, making Joana

"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
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."
