My Devil Billionaire : Give Me Your Heart 80. An improvement?
"It's okay. I feel better, I can go back to work tomorrow." Oriaga ended his call to Joana, he placed the phone on the side of the plate as he glanced at his wife.After two days of staying at the mansion, Oriaga felt better, and his health improved, today he was willing to eat Amanda's cooking behind the dining table, and still sticking to his rule that he only wanted to be treated by Amanda, everyone became an audience the last two days."Don't you want to know who I'm on the phone with?" asked Oriaga, feeling that his wife was silent, but had many questions in her head.However, Amanda shook her head while showing an innocent face. They were supposed to be sitting next to each other, but Amanda gave a gap of two seats, making the distance between them obvious."No?" Oriaga confirmed he became hesitant."No, I don't care who you talk to.""Why?""Even though we hate each other forever, I'm your wife. If you want, you can just explain without having to ask, it's easier." Amanda didn'

"My grandson is finally home." Grandma Gloria couldn't hold back her tears, she hadn't seen Oriaga in over a week and had only heard about him through phone calls or video without knowing that it had been almost three days since her grandson had returned to Amsterdam.The old woman hugged Oriaga, very tightly, melting away the longing after days of not seeing Oriaga's figure saying 'good night' before her grandmother fell asleep."I miss Grandma a lot too.""What's the situation, huh? Did that bitch admit what she did?" She released the hug, turning to touch Oriaga's pair of arms, her emotions burning a little as she remembered why her grandson had to go all the way to Russia."Calm down, Grandmother. I assigned a lawyer who has the best team, if anything happens—he'll be in touch right away, I can go there anytime." He smiled very much trying to reassure his grandmother that everything was fine."Are you sure? I want to go there too if you have to one day. I want to meet the woman wh

"How are Nadine, mom and dad? Are they okay?" Amanda exhaled a long breath, sitting about a meter away from the edge of the pool. She was enjoying the air outside the mansion on a quiet fall night.She daydreamed unobstructed as she crossed her legs, looking up at the sky so dark, but it didn't scare her.Aunt Rosemary searched all over the place for Amanda, calling her name, not knowing that she was near the pool. The servants in the mansion were confused by the sudden disappearance of their mistress."What if Miss Amanda ran away? What should we say to Mr. Oriaga, huh?" Their faces showed panic, fearing that Amanda was missing and the risk they would have to take afterward."Hush!" Aunt Rosemary glared. "Run away where, huh? She can't climb a wall that high. Don't think bad thoughts.""I don't want to think badly, I'm just guessing. Don't we all know that Miss Amanda is desperate to escape from this mansion?"The other servants nodded in agreement, they were too panicked before surr

Kathryn still went to work as usual despite the feeling of dread that occasionally shadowed the woman. Since the big problem that came her way made Kathryn almost lose focus at some moments during meetings with her team members, she wouldn't lie that she was deeply disturbed by the commotion.Now, the woman was walking down the hallway towards the CEO's office after Joana had approached her—telling her that Oriaga wanted to talk to one of the Gregorious designers again, making Kathryn stiffen after two days of feeling a little calm because Oriaga didn't show up at the office, knowing their CEO was sick."Good afternoon, sir," Kathryn said after opening the door, she looked down not daring to meet Oriaga's gaze any longer, even though she believed she was innocent, but Oriaga's intimidating gaze must have scared anyone."Yes. Good afternoon, how are you?" The man put down his pen after filling in the signature on last month's financial report."I-I'm fine, sir." Kathryn stammered, she

Oriaga's two assistants managed to find Vladimir Chriskov's house after traveling about three dozen minutes from Gregorious' office.They knocked on the door, pressed the bell, and even knocked on the glass to look at the situation beside the house because no one came out of the house, making them both confused and suspicious."Are you sure this is the house?" asked Zayn, he became doubtful."You can read the maps too, huh? If we're guilty, then we must be guilty together." Dean chuckled."Maybe I should ask the neighbors." Zayn turned to visit another house across the street, the main door was wide open, so someone should be inside. "Excuse me, good afternoon."Zayn smiled as a grandmother came out of the house, a white-haired grandmother who seemed to be cooking as she was still holding a spatula and had an apron on the front of her body."Yes. Who are you?" the older woman asked."Sorry for interrupting your time, ma'am. I wanted to ask about the house across the street." Pointing

"Good afternoon, Mr. Oriaga Niel." It was Anthony Brown, CEO of the local brand 'Seize'—who finally agreed to meet Oriaga this afternoon. A Michelin-awarded restaurant was their meeting place, and Anthony arranged it. Oriaga could meet anywhere as long as the place had a private room so that their conversation would not be overheard."Yes, good afternoon too, Mr. Anthony Brown." Oriaga smiled flatly, they shook hands before sitting in their respective chairs, but it wasn't just the two of them in this closed room. Oriaga also brought Joana, Kathryn and his two assistants - Dean and Zayn chose to enjoy lunch in the open area—which was crowded with other visitors.While Anthony's side brought three other people including a secretary, a designer, and a man who kept his head down—I don't know what that means, the man's expression was the saddest, but he still looked neat in his office outfit."Glad that you're willing to take the time to meet with me, you must be very busy with the latest

"Argh." Amanda whimpered as she squeezed her stomach, she had opened her eyelids an hour ago but had no intention of getting out of bed when excessive pain attacked her stomach since her monthly period appeared last night, making the woman feel very tortured because it was difficult to do other activities.Amanda just continued to lie curled up in bed until the sun rose higher, then a servant found her while trying to remind their mistress to eat breakfast since it was ready."Oh my, Miss Amanda. What's the matter with you, huh? Your face is so pale." The servant frantically observed Amanda's condition. "Are you sick? I'll ask the guard to contact Zayn to take you to the hospital.""No. ...." Amanda's voice sounded very soft, she was too weak, and her face was so faint with lips that began to dry out from not being able to move even to touch a glass of mineral water."How is it, Miss? What do you want? Or should I ask the guard to call the doctor?"Amanda still shook her head, making

"Where's Oriaga? He didn't come with you, huh?" Amanda quickly chimed in as Zayn entered her room with a servant.The man blinked, his hand holding a bag of heat patches for Amanda."Sorry, Miss. But, Mr. Oriaga—""I don't care about the reason he said. I don't want to hear it." Amanda was easily inflamed due to the influence of hormones when her period came, especially tormented like this. "He can't spare even ten minutes of his time, huh?"Zayn swallowed, not knowing how to respond. Even defending Oriaga wouldn't change the situation Amanda desperately wanted her husband's presence, if Zayn defended Oriaga, he would also earn the woman's wrath.So, Zayn chose to remain silent as he listened to Amanda's ramblings when he could watch her swear all day long."That bastard is heartless. He forgot when he was sick to just keep working on me, but now he's acting like the busiest man in the world."Before Zayn came, Amanda was still in a good mood, she didn't scold anyone because the serva

"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."
