Chapter 60Ria's POV.My hands got shaky while I read the message that was from another Instagram profile."You don't have to be scared. It is the same guy who wanted to show you who your mother was. I just want to try chatting you up on Instagram." He added. My heart was starting to race. Was it too late to call Luca back? How did he know that Luca came here and I allowed him to go? Was I being monitored right now? I immediately stood up from the couch as I then switched off the television and closed all the windows immediately, dropping the curtain."What do you want from me? I don't want to have anything to do with you again. I am not also interested in seeing my mother anymore. Let's just stop communicating." I answered him very fast.My feet tapped the floor slowly while he typed."That's too late. I don't know what I want from you yet, but we will see how it goes." He answered."Too late? Too late for what?""I never planned on leaving you if you weren't interested in seeing y
Chapter 61Ria's POVIt was in the afternoon, and I had nothing to do. "I should start looking for jobs I can apply for. I can't be at home all day even though I've got a rich boyfriend." I muttered to myself while I stared at the filled dustbin.I tied my hair in a bun while I picked up the garbage as I walked out of my room. What a coincidence, the handsome neighbor who was at my side was also holding his garbage in his hands.I was still embarrassed after he saw me arguing with Luca yesterday. I wondered what he must have been thinking after seeing the both of us that way."Good morning." I greeted him first; a fake smile crept on my face."Good morning." He answered as he then walked away. Oh! I guess I shouldn't have greeted him first. He was so cold and rude, I should have known from the start that he was that kind of person. I walked behind him as we both entered the elevator. "How long have you been here?" He questioned, while I blinked my eyes.We were both unsure if the a
Chapter 62Ria's POV"Oh my! Thank you very much." I collected the lunch box from him, while Luca was still at my back with a blank expression on his face."It's okay. I grew up in a country whereby people share food with their neighbors. I'm sorry if you found it so weird." He rubbed his hands against his trousers as he explained."Oh! That's very much thoughtful of you." I closed the door immediately after I he left. "One might think you guys have known each other for days." Luca said, while I walked to the dining table. I dropped the lunch box just to check was it inside, and it turned out of be cookies which was made in different shapes and size."They look so good." I stated, not wanting to reply him."Oh really? Are you really going to eat that?" He was standing beside me already. I could feel the heat coming from his body, while his cologne filled up my nose."Yeah. I can't just trash it. You can't expect me to waste something." I shrugged my arms."Don't trust people that ea
Chapter 63.Ria's POV."I'm kidding." I laughed so hard, removing my hands from my chest as I then saw the disappointment on his face. He took the whole thing so serious."Do you know how scared I was?" He shouted in anger, while I kept on laughing."I'm sorry." I hit his shoulder, as we then both busted into laughter. "Wait, what came to your mind after you saw me reacting hat way?" I questioned, but he just shakes his head. "Say it." I urged him touching his shoulders.He suddenly got a call that interrupted our conversation."Oh shit! Now?" He shouted as he started closing his laptop. "I'm sorry, I have to go now. I am going to see you later." He said as he then ended the call and rushed out of the house.I hate being so jobless. I need to get my finger moving."Oh shit! Now?" He shouted as he started closing his laptop. "I'm sorry, I have to go now. I am going to see you later." He said as he then ended the call and rushed out of the house.I hate being so jobless. I need to get
Chapter 64.Ria's POV.Time moves so fast, and I was still very glad that I was invited to the company's anniversary even after everything that had happened.'Why are you saying it like it wasn't Luca who invited you? You are his girlfriend for goodness sake!' My subconscious reminded me, while I inhaled sharply.I waited for him to pick me, and I also planned on telling him about everything this night. I wanted to let him know about the fact that he should avoid Jade by all means and also let him know that she was the one who pushed me off the cliff the other day.I needed to prove it to him, and I would do my best to make sure that he would not appoint her as the manager of the cosmetics company.She must have gone to meet her dad and ask him to help her as usual. Luca came in no time, and I was in his car already. "You look beautiful, my love." He kissed me on the lips immediately after I had entered his car before he drove off to the event hall where the meeting would be happeni
Chapter 65Ria's POV.I could feel my heart drop immediately after what she had said. "Where did you hear that from? Luca didn't tell me anything about it." I questioned her, while I still found the statement very hard to believe."There was no way he would name a decision like that without letting me know." I added, while my eyes searched the entire hall for him, and I found him discussing with Jade and her father already."Wait! I think he must have told you about it already." She uttered covering her mouth."Just wait and don't do anything till it gets announced." Zoa continues to whisper."Who told you about this? And since when did you get to hear about this?" I queried her, and she just shrugged while she hoped everything she had said was just a false rumor."I heard a lot of people talking about it. I heard it was decided by the shareholders in the company, and you knew how much influence her father has." Zoa continued.I wished I could walk up to Luca and then challenge him n
Chapter 66.Ria's POV.I watched as she then climbed the stage with a huge smile plastered on her face while the whole people in the room were all clapping. It felt as if he was betrayed.The fact that he didn't let me know about all of these beforehand, and I was just caught up in a surprise like this.I stormed out of the hall while I went to the bathroom. I would have gone right outside, but I was avoiding the reporters who might still be outside."Just calm down." Zoa followed me right into the restroom."I know I shouldn't be feeling this way. It's his company; it's his work. He doesn't have any choice due to the fact that the shareholders were the ones who made the decision, and her father was also a shareholder." I kept on saying, while sweat trickled down my face.At this point, I think I was just overreacting. "He should have just told me about it. It wasn't going to take him anything." I complained."I know, just talk things out with him.""That lady there almost killed me.
Chapter 67Ria's POV."What the hell did you just say?" He moved closer to me. Confusion filled his eyes, while tears flowed down my cheeks."We are not breaking up completely. I mean, let's just think about these things, and then we will talk once things get better."Just because I didn't tell you about me choosing her as the manager? Is that why you are all doing all of these?" He questioned, moving closer to me."I didn't know you see that a small action. You feel like it is nothing. Oh, are you okay with picking someone who attempted to murder me as the manager?" I raised up my hands while I started clapping them."You know what? That is really great." I continued clapping my hands, while he mouth was opened trying to look for words which were going to come out from his mouth."She was the one who tried to push you off the cliff?" His palms covered his mouth. "Why didn't you tell me about it all this while?""What would have changed if I had told you? Are you going to scold her? W
Chapter 101.Finn's POV.I was done arranging the room already, and it was exactly just like I have wanted. Ria would be coming for a visit today, but I wasn't sure if she was coming with her man.I know I might sound crazy when I say this, but ever since I saw her the other day. I couldn't stop thinking about her.I knew it wasn't possible for ent k end up with her, but at least I should be able to save her from Jade. Jade wasn't ready to tell me her next plan, because she think I might help Ria, ahd shd was right. This was just an opportunity for me to get to see her again. I wasn't sure if he husband was going to allow her to come alone, but it would be preferable if she came in her own.Jade was going to freak out if she knew about it. She would be scared at first thinking I was trying to make a deal with the enemy which was totally understandable.I checked Ria's current location and she was almost at my house here in Los Angeles. I made up my mind that I was going to stay here
Chapter 100.Ria's POV.*Two weeks Later*Luca kissed me on the cheeks after he brought a juice for me to take. We were on a short vacation, since he needed me to rest and this was the best way that he could think of.I found it really romantic and I loved every bit of it.His hands went below my belly while he raised it up a little bit. "Oh shit!" Thank you very much. I appreciated him immediately he did that. I have always loved that feeling and I will continue to. The first time he did it for me was a week ago He told me he saw a video like that just on social media and he decided to try it. It's funny how he searched for it and that was what it brought out for him."Can you stay like that for a little bit." He released his hands while he tried it again. My head fucked backwards at the feeling.He stood there a for a long time before he then finally walked to my side. His hands were over my neck right in the balcony. My eyes were fixed on the beautiful city, and how bright the l
Chapter 99Ria's POV.My eyes opened slowly and the antiseptic smell hit my nose. I knew I was in the hospital again. I couldn't count how many times I have been here and it was really frustrating.The memories of what happened before h fainted flooded my head. Now I wished I was still asleep."You should get to rest." Luca rushed to where I was staying. It turned out that he had just entered the room and saw me awake.He handed me a bottle of water."What's the situation now?" I rejected the water, and I was real curious to know what happened to the company and how bad the damage was. I wanted to know if it was something that I could get to fix overtime."You have to stay away from anything company related till you give birth." Luca mentioned, not accepting the water I tried giving back to him."Why is that? Why do you say so? Do you even understand what you are saying at all? I can't take a break from this whole thing just because I am carrying a child." I retaliated, while my voice
Chapter 98Ria's POVI woke up to the warmth of Luca's arms around me, his gentle breathing a soothing soundtrack to my morning. The memories we had with each other flashed into my head, while I then smiled passion and excitement spilling over after the proposal. I smiled, remembering the way he had held me, the way our bodies had moved together in perfect harmony, the way which he has proposed to me yesterday. Everything came in.As I snuggled deeper into his embrace, my phone buzzed on the nightstand. I tried to reach over to silence it, but my heart sank when I saw the name on the screen. It was my business assistant, Linda "You should pick up the call." Luca said, with his deep, coarse voice, as he then slept back. I guess he didn't know that it was a call from work or else he wouldn't have told me to pick it up. I hesitated for a moment, wondering if I should answer it. But something about the early morning hour and the urgency in linda's voice when she left the message made
Chapter 97Luca's POVI finally got the woman of my dreams. That was one of my biggest achievements, that is my biggest achievements.Being with the woman who loved you so much, and you love her too. At the same time she was carrying my kids.She looked at herself in the mirror after she took the drink"I look so fat right now." She mentioned touching her tummy while she then caressed it. I watched her laugh, the sound ringing in my ears as she joked about becoming thick. Deep down, all I could think about was exploring every inch of the places she was referring to. But there was a sinking feeling gnawing at the back of my mind. “Come here, let me see exactly where you’ve gotten thick,” I said with a playful smirk, I turned her over. My hand wrapped her body, while I stood behind her. I was going to make sure to very careful this time around and try to take things slowly too, since she was getting really heavy with the whole thing already.She hesitated, her gaze meeting mine thro
Chapter 96Ria's POV*A Few Days After*Luca was living up to the promise which he made the other day. I thought he was going to forget about it, but I was happy he still remembered. I just sat in the car while I watched him move his head to the sound of the beat. He will then look at me and looked at the road again, while he vibed to "Just the way you are by Bruno Mars."I love Bruno Mars song so fuckin much and him singing it to me makes me fucking happy. He told me that we will be going to a hotel and that was all."Don't you think this outfit is too basic for whatever hostel we are going to?" I questioned him."I don't care about the outfit. You look so beautiful regardless of what you wear. You shouldn't care about it too." He looked at me from my head down to my toes, while he continued singing with a smile on his face."Besides you are pregnant." He looked at my belly again. "Putting on a comfortable cloth for you and our baby is the best thing that I found ever ask for." He
Chapter 95Priscilla's POVI strolled out of Miguel's bathroom, just in my undies. I wanted to look lot, just like I've seen in movies. He smirked and leaned back on the bed staring at me. It was a long night and this was the bed thing to end the day."Whatever promise you made to me back then. You will make sure the both of us get it." Was he trying to ruin the mood intentionally with those stupid talks because it seemed like that what was he was doing. "That was why I accepted you back, you have to prove yourself to me again or else I am going to chase you out of this damn house." He cussed, as he tried resisting me, but he just couldn't."That's why I told her I will be her assistant, we should get closer to our enemies at first, and then we can think of what to do later." I mentioned to him.It was a long day and I was pretty much tired. I didn't want to do this to Ria, but that was the only way that I could get to let him accept me back.I looked back at him, and saw how he was s
Chapter 94Finn's POV.I was inside the car with Jade already. I checked my time and then saw how limited my time was. I only have a few hours left to meet with one of my client. Jade was here sulking like a baby and I didn't think that will be possible anymore."He seemed happy with that lady he was standing with, just get over it and forget the whole thing." i urged, but she shot me daggers before I could utter another word.I couldn't count how many times I have told her to move on, but it was pretty hard for her to do. Just move on and forget about the whole damn thing.That was the most easiest thing that you could do, I mean it isn't that easy, but you just gotta try your luck man!"What do you think you are trying to do? Are you really forgetting all our plans?" She questioned me, her eyes was getting red from the tears already."Our plan? Or your plan? I'm just helping you as king as it doesn't involve hurting someone physically." I made it clear to her.Ria was really pretty
Chapter 93Ria's POV.Jade was yet to utter a word as she stared at Luca, but he didn't even give her the attention that she was looking for."I'm wondering how you get to hear about my company. This is just a beginner's company, and you don't know its capabilities yet, but you choose to invest in it." I questioned him while both of his hands reached for his side pocket.This was the first time I stood up to Finn this close, and I wasn't going to lie about the fact that he was cute as hell. He was way more different than I had pictured.He looked better seeing him up close. His blonde hair matches his face perfectly. I wasn't even blonde, guys, but he still looked so good.Of course, Luca looked way more better than him in almost every aspect. My eyes reached the cloth that he was putting on, and it was one of his popular designer brands, which was sold out on the first day he released it. There was going to be a day where I will break his record, probably mine should be half a day,
