Prideful Lust CHAPTER 1 - The lost CEOs
AMAYA'S POV All my life, I have been attending meetings, conferences, photoshoots, and more, just to keep my face on the big screen as well as my position. Though behind that, people expect me to behave so professionally that whenever I get lost in a club, a lot of scandals would come out after a day. But does it matter? Do I have to ask them permission when I want to have some life? But maybe they're right, I might have overdone some things. "Ooh!! Let's party! Another deal is closed!! Can you believe that! This is so amazing!!" I am now in a club enjoying a night that my secretary made available for me to relax. Just so that I can attend work in the morning with an awful hangover. But its mostly the nights that I don't regret. "Isn't she the CEO of that company named Galiviosa?" "She's so hot." "I know right? Want a taste?" These are the whispers I can hear from almost everybody every time I am in a club anywhere here in New York. For some reason, they could all recogni
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 2 - Recklessly Yours
AMAYA'S POV Later that day, I knew someone would start calling me as anyone else would follow. Starting with my sister, Vanique Wescott. "Amaya?! Where the hell are you?! Mom is furious! People are talking about you leaving with another guy again!" She didn't even bother hearing me say hello first and just did what she wanted. She worries too much but I bet she's just troubled because I might mislead my responsibilities and then our parents would choose to let her handle this again. Her concerns are not convincing to me. When she was living a life beyond our parents' control because of her irresponsible actions, they had no choice but to let her go. We are both adults. She's twenty-nine and I'm twenty-two but yes, our parents are still in control of our lives. Whenever we'll be seen by the public doing wrong actions they would clean it up immediately. They're like royals because of how I've reached right now though their opinions are unlimited. "They can just cl
Prideful Lust Chapter 3 - Sex in California
AMAYA'S POV So Malia settled all my schedules attending meetings to announce my suspension for the next few months and that Malia will be in charge of them. That means she needs to be strong for this. Yet, knowing her she just might get bullied by the members of the board. But I won't let that happen. I'm gonna assign someone to look after her too. For five straight days, I attended to all the concerns my partners requested from me. I've never felt this tired from work at all. Because Malia limits all the meetings that I need to attend in one day but right now, I have to be present in everything within five days just so that I'll have enough time when I get to LA. Besides, it would be too bad to be unable to have a tour. I can't always stay in bed. After settling with New York City's stability. It's time for me to fetch someone from California. Malia booked me an ordinary ride with other people to avoid the media following us around. And while we're on our way, I r
Prideful Lust Chapter 4 - Her Absence
MAX'S POV We found her. Her name was Amaya Wescott, she was born in New York City. CEO of Galiviosa, the largest company that owns different hotels, real estate companies and constructions, department stores and had been the biggest sponsor to all the celebrities and luxurious products. She's also the youngest and wealthiest entrepreneur in the city. She was praised by most businessmen and some envied her. She has also been taken to model for the products she sponsors which makes her the face of the company. And based on my first impression of her, she is indeed very attractive and they are reasonable enough to admire her. She’s the kind of woman that men can never say no to. But she’s smart and abundant and for me, she’s a threat. Her beauty doesn’t matter to me. “Max?” When Vesna brought me back to reality staring at Amaya Wescott’s face on my computer I slowly started to frown. I just couldn't believe my eyes. How come I had never found out about this sooner? “We are g
Prideful Lust Chapter 5 - Identities Changed
MAX'S POV So I booked my flight to Vancouver, Canada. Because I don't want to bother Vesna especially since she's still being distant towards me. It was a complicated decision because I just arrived here yet I had to leave again. Arriving in Canada might have no difference to New York but I'll take the risk otherwise. I mentioned this decision to Liam right now during dinner though he seemed doubtful. "You know, if you think that the front desk woman is telling you the truth then I think you shouldn't just barge in there showing up in Amaya's university and asking her to step down." At first, his suggestion didn't matter to me but it pissed me off that he said the same thing as Vesna. "Liam, I have a lot on my mind right now and what you're saying is nonsense. So if you disagree with what I want then you can go back home with Vesna. I had enough of this sort of advice." I said as I took my luggage bag and started packing again. "Okay then. But I'm gonna ask you one more t
Prideful Lust Chapter 6 - Double Trouble
MAX'S POV After class, Miles immediately ran towards Amaya Wescott who's now Amy Wills to introduce himself. Yet, since we are a group I had to tag along wherever they go even though I don't want to. I don't wanna get recognized by her and at the same time blend in. "So.. Umm... Hey, I'm Miles Taylor. You can just call me Miles." He offered his hand and she gave hers for a handshake. "Hi, Miles. You're charming." Her smile disgusted me. I'm not sure if it is because I hate her or I just can't see that for now. But it seems that most of the students here are fond of her like Freya. "Thanks. These are my friends, Kade and Marco." He pointed to us. Which, I'm not interested in doing so. She had to earn the right to hold my hand. "Pleasure to meet you." Kade bowed to her as a greeting while she offered her hand to me. Of course, I didn't give her my hand. Why would I? Instead, I just stared at her. As she slowly took back her hand and placed it behind her she smi
Prideful Lust Chapter 7 - Poorest Rich
AMAYA'S POV Being here at Capilano University is fun. Though not at the part where they want us to choose a specific sport to train with and participate in some games soon. It was not ideal for me since I am not physically sporty. I am more of a strategist. That's why I played chess instead. And somehow, someone managed to challenge me. His name is Conan Evans. He is not from my class and he's not the type of person I'd like to hang out with. He's so arrogant that I wanted to shove every chess piece in his mouth just to shut him up. "Hello, Newbie. You need more luck than just my pretty face in this game so be ready." As he gave out his hands in front of me before he sat. But damn, I am not feeling his vibes at all. Yeah, he is attractive alright but the rest of him is a total red flag. "You know? I've been playing this game since I was eleven. I know a lot of techniques that you don't know of." He said while cracking his knuckles. I rolled my eyes at him a
Prideful Lust Chapter 8 - Debate
AMAYA’S POV As soon as Marco arrived our professor also dismissed us, making me feel relieved because the rest of the group couldn't think of any entrepreneur and just decided to talk about it the next day. But fate just keeps mocking us. Our dear professor visited our circle before he left and gave us a subject suggestion to report because he thinks that it is gonna be interesting, especially for our generation. “Have you thought of which entrepreneur you’re gonna report yet?” He asked.“No, we can’t think of someone interesting sir,” Freya replied.“How about you try the HOWARDS or GALIVIOSA? I heard that the owners of those companies are one of the best and they're around your age. It’s a very good example.” My eyes widened together with my mouth. We can’t have that topic. I can’t be revealed.“We’ll talk about it before leaving school. Thank you, professor.” Marco replied all of a sudden when he was not the type of person who would easily agree to someone’s suggestion

THIRD PERSON’S POV On their upcoming day of exchanging vows, Amaya’s wishes were supported by Max. He helped with everything as much as he can. He looked for willing volunteers especially those from Brooklyn. He also contacted their friends from Canada and Malia sent off twelve people as well. Noah and his family offered their assistance too. Yet this charity had to last a week than it was anticipated because of an additional team building activity and physical check-up. Kenzo on the other hand worked hard with them. They even had a surprising guest who came after he found out about the major event the Galiviosa was holding. “Xihizoo!!!! It’s you! It’s really you!!” Amaya was so happy upon the real Xihizo’s arrival that she jump straight into his arms. Xihizo was surprised by this new behavior Amaya showed but he was glad that she was doing fine. His gaze was then caught by a familiar face in Amaya’s office, he separated himself from her and walked closely to the stranger. By the t
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 89 - Opportunity
AMAYA’S POVI decided not to continue with the case anymore and open him a new opportunity instead. We returned his things back to his safe and left a note on his bedside table. Please see me in my office tomorrow, Kenzo. -AmayaNoah drove Ace and me back to my office and while on the road, I can’t help but think about those people who are desperate as him. Even though I missed certain events in my life I can still keep up with it now that I am the boss yet not them. Because once they stop they won’t even have enough to feed the mouths in their family. It’s sad but that’s reality. The car stopped when the traffic light turned red and I saw a homeless man sitting beside a restaurant while most people just walks past him. It breaks my heart just by looking at him. Then an idea popped up in my head. When arrived at the Galiviosa, I talked with Noah and Ace about what was going to happen next. “I suggest we keep the recordings just in case he makes another reckless decision. I don’t do
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 88 - Doppelganger
AMAYA’S POV My suggestion hyped Xihizo so much that he even led the way back to his room. He ordered so much food and drinks. He was feeling abundant that he also invited Noah to eat with us. When we were still at the bar earlier I saw Ace pass by so I excused myself to the bathroom. There Ace added a micro mic behind the button of my shirt and a camera on my necklace. “He has a very low alcohol tolerance so you can start asking him anything you want once he gets drunk. Act curious about what he remembers about your childhood and as I estimated he will last for at least an hour drunk talking so be sure to ask as fast and as much as you can. I’ll be watching you from the other room. Don’t worry if he tries to make a move on you because his room is surrounded by cameras. Once he’s down, I’ll get inside with you to open the safe where he hid all his documents.” I felt relieved that Ace is here. I may have planted that idea in Xihizo’s head but it still doesn’t change the fact that I
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 87 - Bluff
AMAYA’S POV Since that Scrooge got what he wanted he doesn’t bother us that much anymore. He’s like a spoiled brat right now just because he’s been pampered with all the cash and services. I didn’t want this to last for a week but it seems that Ace couldn’t make time. I’m really sorry Amaya, there is a ceremony coming up this Saturday which means the following days are going to be busy and need extra hands. You know I badly wanted to work with you, It’s just that right now isn’t the best time. I promise I’ll be there as soon as the ceremony is over. And while I’m at it, I’ll assemble all the instruments. Now I felt bad for Ace too. I only wish I had the same knowledge as Ace with the technologies. Then I wouldn’t have to bother them about this. And about Max, I was able to turn the table by acting that Ace was really asking how I was doing while he continues to explain himself. After that, I distracted him with a kiss and it continues to something else. Being entrapped by this cha
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 86 - Guilty or Not Guilty
AMAYA’S POVI would be owing a lot to Noah. Though I can only wish there was something I can do to help with their relationship. Vanique was still on a break that I gave her to take some time to reflect on everything that has been happening in her life while Mom was trying her best to accompany her. My head right now is a mess that I couldn’t even try to review Max’s preparation for the wedding. I had too many expenses coming especially with an additional Scrooge-like someone.“Hey babe, You still haven’t been able to see the coordinator's idea. We really need your utmost opinion about it. You are the bride after all.” Max’s determination about this wedding remained the same. I love his enthusiasm though and I hope that he will continue to remain occupied. I was trying to clear my mind on the couch while he tries to make use of the time to get my perspective on the wedding. “I’d like the church to be at the St. Peter Cathedral. The theme would be just fine if it's all white so it wo
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 85 - Intentions
AMAYA’S POVWhen he raised his voice my body started trembling. He’s making me anxious. I don’t understand what he is so upset about. I kept on stuttering while I tried to calm him down. It went silent between us for a few seconds and I couldn’t help myself to hold my breath. It’s like I was waiting for him to do something aggressive. In his state, it wasn’t impossible to happen. But I was lucky when he suddenly left the conference room doing nothing. As I heard the door close, my legs gave up, and I fell to the floor, losing all my strength. Then I didn’t even notice that I was already crying. My chest felt so heavy that I am trying to keep up with my breath. I wanted to wail though I couldn’t. The room feels so cold. I didn’t want to get up. I stayed inside there for as long as I can remember when Max shows up. I looked at him blankly because I couldn’t really tell if I should be happy or not. But despite my anxiousness, I was able to notice a bruise beside his lips and right eye.
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 84 - 2nd Prep-posal
MAX’S POVThe presentations went well and I was able to make a decision on the spot. Though still, I felt bad someone had to leave so I made a different offer instead.“Anyway, I don’t want you guys to leave disappointed so I’m gonna offer you a different job. It is not going to be a wedding though but you’ll have to organize an event for my company. Since we launched our branch here, we haven’t really made a decent event to celebrate so that’ll be coming maybe a month from now. While the other team will organize a gala, I’ll let my assistant contact you. As for the chosen team, hopefully, my fiance will be ready by next week so kindly keep your presentation. I’ll contact you for the schedule as soon as possible. Thank you.”Now, I needed to get back to Amaya’s office and I am expecting the guy to be gone. I would probably take three days' leave from my work so I can do this without my time being divided. That’s the least I can do. Now, I am done with the organizers, should I let them
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 83 - 1st Prep
AMAYA’S POVBefore Max returned to us in the office, Xihizo was left on the couch watching TV while I went back to sit at my table to sign and review some papers that had just arrived. I remembered we haven’t continued our wedding preparations since the incident. I reached out to one of my drawers and found the list I made and the samples of the invitation format. There was also a folder filled with different color schemes which I haven’t decided yet. I felt the same excitement I used to feel when I started this. I took all of it out and placed it all on my table. When Xihizo noticed it he walked towards me and asked about it.“These were my part of the preparations. I can’t believe I didn’t make that much progress.” I said to him with a soft tone trying to control myself not to cry. The thought of marriage made me happy and more to that I am going to be with the man I love. I couldn’t stop imagining walking down the aisle while he waits there at the altar. I want that to happen as s
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 82 - Best Friend
MAX’S POVIt has been a while since I had a nice sleep like this, especially with Amaya beside me. She became one of my comfort zones after I realized I was already in love with her. But as I turned my head on the other side of the bed, she was gone and I also noticed that I may have been asleep for a while now. I tried to peek from the curtains to know if it was still night time but the sun almost blinded me with its brightness. It was morning already so I proceeded in opening the rest of the curtains so it may give more warmth to Amaya’s bed. Not that last night was not enough but also since sun rays may also have their benefits. And since I am already naked, I think it would be best to just go to the bathroom straight. After taking a bath I went straight to the other floor where the kitchen was yet I didn’t see Amaya there. She did leave a note though saying that my breakfast is on the table so I went to the dining room where a plate is covered with a silver cloche and looked under
