My Devil Billionaire : Give Me Your Heart 85. An irregularity that is difficult to tolerate.
"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

"Good afternoon, Miss. How are you now?" A servant asked as they entered Amanda's room, for a whole day they took turns visiting the woman, the feeling of anxiety that had been seen on everyone's face slowly disappeared, especially since Amanda refused to be taken to the hospital or have a doctor visit here. All the servants were afraid that something bad would happen to their mistress.Amanda smiled, she was still lying on the bed after waking up half an hour ago. "I feel better, for a few days please stock up on those heat patches, I'm going to need them a lot.""Yes, Miss. I'll ask Zayn to buy more when he gets back.""Do you know when Oriaga left?"The maid was lost in thought, recalling the time of Oriaga's departure. "I think it was around lunchtime, Miss. When you were already asleep.""Ah well.""Do you need anything else?""Yes. Please just change these sheets now, I can sit there while you change them.""I'll get the new sheets in the room at the end of the second floor, Mis

On the third day of period, Amanda felt better, she was able to walk out of the room because she was bored for two days just spending time in that room, she did not know what was happening outside her room.Amanda came out of the glass elevator on the main floor, she looked around, and the smell of cooking from the direction of the kitchen was effective enough to attract the woman's attention.For two days, she had only eaten what she wanted, but today that might change as the smell of soup made her empty stomach churn."What are you cooking, Aunt Rosemary?" asked Amanda as she entered the kitchen.The woman in a brown apron who was busy stirring the soup immediately turned her head, she smiled broadly in response to Amanda's appearance in the kitchen."Miss. Are you here?" She immediately approached the woman, helping her walk to sit behind the dining table. "How is your body, Miss? Don't force it if it's still weak.""I'm so bored just spending time in my room. Besides, it doesn't t
Last Updated : 2024-02-21My Devil Billionaire : Give Me Your Heart 90. New policy.
Today Oriaga gathered all the leaders of each division as well as the designers in the meeting room, he wanted to openly discuss the problems that happened in Gregorious about Vladimir Chriskov's theft of Kathryn's designs as well as the plagiarism of designs by brand 'Seize'—which had previously remained private because Oriaga and some parties were busy with the investigation.Now that every piece of evidence was clear enough, he announced it to everyone, took the best course of action, and warned against similar bad situations in the future. Oriaga conducted surprise inspections in each division, he didn't want any more cheating to happen, and he was furious that the employees in his office had betrayed him—though Oriaga didn't know the reason behind the theft yet.He doesn't know Vladimir Chriskov's character although he accepts him as an employee after passing the selection, meaning that Vladimir's CV contains something worthy of being accepted to work at Gregorious—beating out ma

"Muffins?" Aunt Rosemary blinked, surprised when Amanda appeared in the kitchen and said she wanted to make muffins."Yes. You have all the ingredients in the kitchen, right? I want blueberry muffins." Moving past Aunt Rosemary who was standing next to the dining table, Amanda opened the entire refrigerator door to check the ingredients. "No blueberries?" She turned to look at Aunt Rosemary."We don't have any, Miss. If you had said earlier, or last night—someone would have come out to buy them, so sorry there are no blueberries."Amanda smiled flatly, she made Aunt Rosemary feel guilty. "It's okay, it's no big deal, there are other meals that can be made. It's my fault for not mentioning it earlier, sorry for being so abrupt, Auntie.""How about lemon cake? Or red velvet?"Amanda looked back at the contents of the refrigerator, there were indeed a lot of strawberries and a few lemons, although there were other fruits, but they were not suitable for cake batter."Eum, maybe lemon cake

Amanda moved restlessly even though her eyelids were tightly closed, and it was already one o'clock in the morning, but whatever it was continued to make her feel uncomfortable. She occasionally rubbed her ears and the nape of her neck as she felt different air touching her there.The air conditioner was always on except when Amanda needed some natural air through the large window in her room, she couldn't bear the restlessness, so she opened her eyes slowly, making the woman freeze when she found someone had flanked Amanda's legs while removing the t-shirt from his body, then throwing it on the floor.The man bent his knees and leaned back to touch Amanda's face with a warm smile.She closed her eyes again and swallowed, knowing she was imagining, or perhaps dreaming, a moment too crazy to face in reality.However, Amanda was wrong, the disturbance was even more uncontrollable because it touched the face, making the woman speak. "This dream is too real, why would a dream like this co

"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
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."
