My Devil Billionaire : Give Me Your Heart 8. A quiet dinner.
"Did you manage to sell your car, Amanda?" Pamela looked towards the courtyard, and she still found her youngest daughter's car there. "What is it?"Amanda smiled wryly. She had hoped that when she got home from work, her mother would greet her and ask how the day was going, but she got a question that made her take a deep breath every time she was at home—Amanda's patience was always being played with."I'm still using it, Mom." She passed Pamela in the doorway and went to the kitchen, cold water being something Amanda wanted to consume. The summer weather tickled her throat."So, when are you going to sell it? Nadine gave the debt collector one week." Pamela followed her daughter into the kitchen."Soon, Mom. In less than a week, my car will be sold. Stay calm.""Are you sure?" She doubted it.Amanda nodded. "I'll change my clothes first before cooking dinner.""Do it."After changing her clothes, Amanda tied her hair up high and put on her apron. The tiredness after work was no big

In the end, Amanda agreed to Jeff's request to buy her car after discussing it with Nadine last night, more precisely when her sister came home around ten o'clock, and Amanda had not been able to fall asleep then. As a result, they exchanged ideas and decided to sell it to Jeff.This morning, Jeff went to Amanda's house as she had requested in the chat her had sent him last night, and he found out that the reason Amanda was selling her car was that she had to pay off the house payment that had been delayed for a long time."I'll add the money," Jeff said as he punched in a few digits more than Amanda's price on his cell phone, sending the money through his account."No, Jeff. Don't do that. Just keep buying at the price we agreed on." Amanda felt awkward. If only Pamela hadn't interfered with the situation this morning, Jeff wouldn't have known anything about her problem.Amanda felt very guilty. She should have asked Jeff to meet her outside. She even forgot that her mother had wante

Amanda got through her first day commuting to work without her car, and all was well. She didn't arrive late despite using the public bus. Amanda just needed to take into account the early departure time of the bus every morning.The woman sat behind her cubicle as she occasionally looked at the door of the CEO's room. She kept wondering why Mr. Wendell and the men were in the CEO's room for more than an hour. If they were having an important meeting, why not just stay in the boardroom?"I seem to be overthinking," Amanda muttered.She was surprised and quickly got up when the door to the CEO's room opened, and Mr. Wendell and the men came out.Mr. Wendell stopped to say something that made Amanda gulp when she heard it."I don't care, Eddie. Sign the transfer documents as soon as possible because if you don't, I can't guarantee that your family will be okay. Didn't I give in to you for too long, huh!"CEO Eddie was still inside, so Amanda could not see him. Mr. Wendell left, and CEO

Zayn was an hour early to Amanda's workplace as per Oriaga's request. He sat on a couch in the lobby and caught the attention of a few people who didn't recognize him. Zayn's appearance was a bit conspicuous, with the black hat on his head.When the receptionist asked, Zayn explained that he had come to pick up Amanda, so they were not suspicious of the young man.Amanda had just gotten out of the elevator with Louisa and a few other colleagues, and she didn't take it seriously that Oriaga would send someone to pick her up. When suddenly, Zayn got up and called her name. Amanda was confused."Do you know her, Amanda?" asked Louisa.The woman paused momentarily, but luckily, she quickly remembered something. "Yes, you can go home now. Be careful on the road, Louisa.""Alright, see you tomorrow." They parted ways in the lobby.Amanda quickly approached Zayn, who had gotten up from the sofa."Who are you? Why did you mention my name?"Zayn had time to smile. "Mr. Oriaga asked me to pick

Amanda quickly swatted Oriaga's hand away, successfully averting her gaze."Don't touch me."Oriaga's expression began to change. He ignored Amanda's request but acted even more annoyed when he grabbed Amanda's right arm and forced her backward until her back hit the door behind her."Oriaga—""Why can't I touch you, but other people can, huh?""Stop choking me, Oriaga!""Everyone can touch you, huh! You're playing with that old man Eddie, right!"Amanda gasped, her courage getting the better of her and allowing her to push Oriaga with all her might to the floor. Amanda was furious when she heard such a vicious accusation."What are you saying, huh? Can you repeat yourself, you bastard? What's in your head that you keep thinking bad thoughts and making fun of me endlessly? I'm still human, Oriaga!"At first, Oriaga was surprised that Amanda was acting out of line, but the man smiled after hearing her curse.Oriaga moved on, putting his hands in his pants pockets as he smiled, even til
Last Updated : 2023-12-30My Devil Billionaire : Give Me Your Heart 13. Towards midnight.
It's past eleven, but Amanda is still awake, cross-legged on a chair in front of a table with a mini-shelf with several thick books, a glass of hot chocolate with only a little left after taking multiple sips, and an open laptop. The laptop screen displayed the profile of someone who had recently managed to disrupt Amanda's life.The room lights had been left off, the nightlight by the bed was on, and the light from the laptop screen was enough for Amanda to see everything. She didn't realize that the bedroom door wasn't closed yet.The woman hovered down, and she read silently through each post until she stopped at the achievement section.Amanda snorted. She had just realized that her old friend had become a successful man as businessman of the fashion and jewelry brand 'Gregorious' over the past few years."I just realized he is no longer the Oriaga Niel I recognized. He's still the same, and he's just become more mature, handsome, and annoying." Amanda gulped down the rest of the
Last Updated : 2024-01-01My Devil Billionaire : Give Me Your Heart 14. Losing your job.
Anxiety set in as Amanda walked through the office courtyard, her fear of losing her job lingering like a parasite on a host plant. Jeff's story the other day couldn't be put away quickly.Amanda wanted to be positive, but it didn't seem easy.She had become quieter than ever, often daydreaming when Louisa spoke to her or sitting in her cubicle.The wired phone connected to the CEO's office rang, and Amanda answered it immediately."Yes, sir. Do you need anything?""Please come to my office, Amanda.""Yes, sir."Amanda took a deep breath after hanging up the phone. She looked at the CEO's room door, then moved to follow her boss's orders.Amanda briefly knocked on the door, then entered after opening it herself. She smiled warmly to greet CEO Eddie.The man's expression was still like yesterday, listless. He took off his glasses and opened his drawer."Please sit down, Amanda. I have something important to talk to you about.""Yes, sir." Amanda sat on the chair across from CEO Eddie,

"Sir, you must attend an evening charity event today with the owners of 'Keihl and Diamond' at Hotel X at eight." Joana checked the iPad in her hand once more."Did you prepare a suit?" Oriaga was busy flipping through every page of the new jewelry magazine he'd gotten this morning, and he always got the latest issue every month because of his subscription."I have, sir. It will be here soon.""That's good. I'm still looking at the pictures here.""Are you interested in anything?" Joana stood beside Oriaga while he sat on the sofa in his study."Yes. I'm feeling a little really into the 'Diamond Hope.' It's wonderful, but the price is quite shocking.""I remember 'Diamond Hope' being one of the most expensive diamonds in the world, right?"Oriaga nodded. "Very true, Joana." He closed the magazine and placed it on the table. "I'd like an americano before I go to that charity event.""Of course, sir. I'll make them for you." Joana walked out of there.Oriaga leaned his back and head aga

"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
My Devil Billionaire : Give Me Your Heart 110. What about me?
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."
