Chapter 38

Ria's POV.

I climbed up the stage with my eyes fixed on him and not on the crowd. I wasn't expecting this, I never expected this to happen.

I thought the announcement he was going to make will be something else, or about someone else. I never imagined it was going to be me.

He left the front of the standing microphone, leaving me to say something. What in the hell do you want me to tell your employees?

I just have little experience when it comes to cosmetics. How must did he trust me for him to put me in that kind of level? Or was he returning back a favor? I haven't been useful to him for the past few days.

"Uhm, I'm really speechless guys." I started talking. Oh my! How could I start on a wrong note this way? My first statement was followed by a laugh laughter from the crowd and it seemed like they were pretty okay with it.

It really wasn't that deep.

"This is really shocking for me just as the way you all are in shock." I continued talking.

    Chapter 39Ria's POV.I sat next to Miguel since that was the only empty seat. "I guess you are showing your true colors now." Miguel muttered, moving closer to me so I could hear what he just said.True colors? What did he mean by that? Sometimes, I wonder how he got to this stage with the level of intelligence he had.This was the first time I would be seeing him after that incident. I didn't have enough time to scold him. "Just shut the fuck up." I whispered to him.What made him think he could talk to me after that incident?"What do you think you are doing, Luca? Have you forgotten you have to meet us before making any important decisions, just like the one you did this morning? One of the men in the room started first."The position has been empty for a while, and I found the right person who was perfect for the job. Do I have to discuss it with you?" He defended. Everyone knew he was in the wrong here, but he was still trying to defend me and himself."That's not the point.

    Chapter 40Ria's POV.I watched as he was speechless while his eyes bore into mine."I guess you know the truth already." He mentioned while his feet tapped on the floor. How could he keep something like that from me? I scoffed while I tried to connect the dots. The fact that the house was so cheap and it was very close to his. I thought everything was a coincidence, but it turned out he had planned this beforehand."You are really unbelievable." My arms crossed each other, "Why would you do something like that?" "I just wanted to help you." He replied to me; the elevator bell dings while it opened, revealing some of the workers who were waiting for the elevator. We both stepped out."It's better if we don't get to discuss it anymore." He replied to me while I walked behind him."You will stop being my personal assistant as of today." He reminded me immediately we stepped into his office."I will be choosing someone who can assist you with everything, and from there we could get to

"You have a few minutes to come outside." He further texted. I ran out of the office without answering her."Where are you going to?" She shouted as I zoomed off the room"I'm on my way." I texted him immediately I entered the elevator. I reached the ground floor in just a few seconds while I rushed out of the company.I tried calling him, but he wasn't picking up."Where the hell are you? I am outside already." I texted him, my hand tucking my hair at the back of my ears. "That was so fast." He texted back."Pick up the fucking call." My heart raced while I tried to calm down. This was an opportunity for me to know who my mother was and every other thing about her. I wasn't ready to lose my chance.I called him again and he picked up the time around, while my breath hitched."Where are you? Let's discuss." I said

    Chapter 42Ria's POV.My eyes quickly roamed around the room, but there was no hint of anyone suspicious. "Are you stalking me right now?" I replied to him, my fingernails penetrating into my skin while I awaited a response from him."Are you okay?" I flinched at Luca's question. "You are definitely not okay. You have been texting someone since these past few days, and it's so obvious at this point." He further added before I could give him a response."I am okay. You don't have to worry about me. I am not too small to manage yourself." I managed to say."Maybe you should speak to me when you are less tense." He moved away from my side while I slowly followed him. I flipped my middle finger at me, hiding it behind my purse not to make things too obvious.I was being stalked by a motherfucker who needed money from me in order to show me who my real mother was, and that was just so crazy and unbelievable.As we both stepped into the grand hall, the atmosphere buzzed with excitement and

A lot of people also directed her gaze towards her.I couldn't take back my words. I looked at Luca, and he doesn't seem bothered with the price, which I had called."You did great." He mentioned, without even looking at me."I used your money? I'm so sorry. The price I called for it was too much, knowing fully well that I might not end up selling it in the future." I whispered."Going in, three, two, one. The diamond necklace has been sold." The host announced, and then a loud applause followed. "I just told you I don't mind. If you had bid higher, I'm not going to have a problem with that too." He mentioned, while I just smiled. "Thank you very much." I muttered. I had never imagined I was going to buy something at an auction, and I was still very much in shock. *****The last item that was sold at the auction was bought by Luca at a price of

    Chapter 44 Ria's POV. "I know this a weird way to confess, but I am really tired of trying to keep it in. I have no child but to let you know about it now." He mentioned to me and I was still trying to fill in the gaps. "Since when?" I stopped in order to catch my breath while I still tried to wrap my head around my confession. I bet he was also trying to do the same thing by wrapping his head around my confession. "You hated me so fucking much." "I never hated you. I was just a coward who tried to run away from his feelings. I had to leave this state just because I couldn't watch you with my brother anymore." He folded in his lips while he confessed his feelings to me. "No way." I nodded my head negatively. "All those hurtful words, and all the bad things you have done was just for an act too?" I furthered questioned, and I didn't want to believe it. "It was just a guy who was a coward and I regret not ever telling you about it till now. You aren't making things easier fo

    Chapter 45Ria's POV.I dropped the iPad on the desk while my body slowly descended to the chair. Why does this have to happen in a situation like this? My hands ruffled my hair, while I blew out air with my mouth. It was a picture of me with my luggage as I moved into my house. I didn't imagine my sister was going to do this. "Is that true?" I looked at Zoa, who asked me that question, making me sigh. "I'm sorry." She apologized immediately after she saw the unsatisfied look on my face. I wasn't going to blame her; she was just as curious as almost everybody else in the company. I was about to check the information again, but it turned out they had brought down the website. I was able to take a screenshot before they brought down the website.Why did this have to happen just a few days after I was picked to be the manager? My sister was behind all of these. I was sure she was the one; she had threatened me a few days ago to release evidence about the fact that we were together.

    Chapter 46Ria's POV."What? You didn't know what has been going on in the company?" His face could really tell that he doesn't know what just happened. He was so calm about it, and that made me a little bit tense and mad.I wasn't going to lie."Was it his fault that he doesn't know about it? Still trying to make it look as if it was its fault." My subconscious mentioned.I was so mad at home for not knowing anything. I know that it wasn't supposed to be that way, but I just couldn't stop myself from being mad. I brought out my phone while I showed him the screenshot that has shown the both of us together and a picture of me entering into his house. He collected my phone while he carefully read through the article. "So this was posted to the company's website?" He tried confirming what I had just told him, and I then nodded."I thought you were the one who brought down the article from the website all this while." I laughed hysterically. I think I was starting to go crazy, and the

Where will I even start from in order for me to be able to catch the killer?The other day whereby the cosmetics products were supposed to be brought to my house. I remembered it was delayed.Was it that same day whereby all of these happened?"Are you just going to keep pacing around? You need to leave here and do something. Do you think just moving around will help you find the person who planned all of this?" Zoa questioned me while she scoffed."Oh! Please. I am finding a way for me to catch the person who planned all of this. When do you start interfering with my personal problems?" I turned back at herI know I am really tense right now and it I've just being angry with everyone.

I said to Luca while I tried to confuse him in anyway possible. He was in a bad mood right now and wasn't ready to listen to him.My scarf covered my face very well while I hoped no one was going to see me. The cosmetics products which I had released a few weeks ago was starting to make people break out badly including me.My face was literally peeking right now and it looked as if something was added to the products. His company was under tension right now and a lot of search is going on.We were both waiting on top of the roof for his private jet that would be coming soon."I shouldn't have given you the position."

    Chapter 56Luca's POV."We had sex yesterday." She complained. "Are you not going to eat?" She questioned as I then stopped."Who made the rules that we can't have sex today again?." Her breath got very heavy. Our foreheads were still against each other. "This should mark our celebration of being a couple." I added."We have cake and other things." My hands went to her ass while I squeezed them as she tried bringing up other suggestions.I wasn't ready to listen to other suggestions. I just wanted to listen to her.“Too good.” I held her closer and started kissing the back of her neck. I slipped my arm inside the shirt she wore, placing my hand on her bare stomach.“Oh God,” she whispered. “Don’t make me want this again.” “Should I stop?” Slowly, my palm slid up her rib cage.“Yes.” But she took my wrist and moved my hand over her breast. “I have so many reasons why this should not happen now."“Such as?” I played with the hard peaks of her nipples; she was not putting on any bra und

    Chapter 55Ria's POV.It was a shame Luca left me at the beach like this. He said he needed to do something at the hotel and he was going to pick me up later. I didn't have any right to be mad, actually.He did a lot for me today, and I just couldn't remember the last time I felt this good. I still wasn't sure if he would be able to surprise me today.I took the last slice of the pizza that was left as I sipped the remaining wine too. I brought out my phone to take a picture of the sun setting.Watching sun set at a beach while everywhere is peaceful is something everyone on earth should get to experience.It felt as if I was connecting with the nature."A car will come and pick you up soon." A message popped on my phone while I was taking a picture. "Thank goodness." I muttered under my breath knowing that I was going to get picked soon. He sent the plate number of the cat which will be coming to pick me alongside with the text."Where are you? And where is the car taking me to?" I

    Chapter 54 Ria's POVI woke up, and he was no longer on the bed. I remembered what he had told me yesterday, and he also told me to change into another dress. I had no idea where we were going, but I pray it better be worth it.With the way he spoke earlier, we might be spending the entire day outside. I managed to get down from the bed while I remembered the things that had happened between the both of us last night.I wasn't going to deny the fact that he was so good. I remembered how my legs started to shake since I couldn't control them anymore. I took my bath and then did the necessary thing. I applied light makeup and decided to wear a white tank top with a green floral wrap skirt, which looked so good on me.I didn't have a phone yet since my phone got destroyed after I fell off the cliff, so there was nothing that I could use to contact him.A soft smile plastered on my face when I heard the pin to my house being entered. He was the one who helped me set up the pin; we did i

I was better now, and I could barely feel any physical pain."I am going to sleep here, and you can just stay in the room." He mentioned as I then squinted my eyebrows immediately."Was this some sort of joke? Oh please." I rolled my eyes at his statement, which I knew wasn't from the bottom of his heart, and he was just up to something. "I want to tell you something." I called his attention, and he then looked at me. I could see the eagerness in his eyes wanting to listen to what I had for him."I have made up my mind about my feelings for you." I confessed, and there was no expression on his face. "I love you." I confessed finalizing my husband, knowing fully well that I can't take back those words.He moved towards me as he then hugged me tightly. "I love you too." He muttered as my body was wrapped in his huge, muscled arm."I hope I don't get to regret my decision." I mentioned

    Chapter 52Ria's POVThe way the young man who was in the room was acting was really funny. Was he just overreacting or what? Why was he so worked up about the fact that I couldn't remember my memory?I felt a pang of pain in my head. I remembered falling off from a cliff, and then I just couldn't remember people's faces, and things were just blurry."She is still suffering from the shock due to the fall. We conducted an x-ray, and there are no signs of injuries in her head." The doctor informed him, and he just nodded.I was trying too hard to remember who this was, but I could only hear voices in my head and blurry images."How long is this going to last for?" Luca questioned. I got to know his name since he mentioned it the other time."Uhm, it could last for a few hours, days, weeks, or years. I can't really tell." The doctor informed. I looked at Luca's face, and I could see the frustration written all over his face."Once you can see a slight difference or notice any changes, j

    Chapter 51Luca's POV.My eyes flickered after what she had said, "Was this a joke?""No! She slipped and fell." She kept on pointing at the cliff with her hands covering her mouth m "Where the fuck? How the fuck did she get to fall?" I looked over the place where she had fallen, and it wasn't that far. Thank goodness, but there was no hit of someone falling here. "She just slid and then—" Jade tried explaining, but she was also short of words. What the hell was actually happening?"Are you sure you weren't the one who pushed her off?" I shouted at her. She is lucky that his father wasn't here."I wouldn't stoop so low as to that level. Why did you think I would do something that inhumane? She defended herself, and then she stood up against me cleaning her tears with her hands forcefully."You have done things that are way worse. So you can't deceive me with those words coming from your mouth." I shouted at her. "You story aren't even adding up. What made her move closer to the clif

    Chapter 50Luca's POV.It was starting to get really hard trying to resist her. Her soft lips got enveloped in mine while my hands were on her waist. We both stopped as we caught our breath. If only it were possible for me to ask her out right now.I understood the fact she was trying so hard to control her feelings. She was trying so hard not to love me, and I hoped she wouldn't stop loving me.I loved her so much, and I really wanted to be with her badly. We both stared at each other for a while as she then broke the eye contact first while she then looked at the pictures that the booth had brought out.It brought out two copies and also took a picture of the both of us kissing. She handed over the second copy to me while I went through it. This was the best picture I've ever taken in a while.My hands ran through it for a while, a smile on my face. Her face was so fucking red, and if she came out this way, they could assume that something had happened."I am going to go out first
