Prideful Lust Chapter 44 - All in one pace
AMAYA'S POVWith blistering confidence, I confronted the women waiting in the lobby of my building. As I took a step closer to them, their faces got more and more furious and it made me think of how desperate they are. Maybe they tried to hold on to them because they thought these men changed.One charged at me and slapped me while the other two were trying to stop her. Well, if this is the only way for them to resolve such things then I will not change my mind about continuing the case."Who do you think you are that you could accuse our boyfriends of raping you! Do you think you are that mighty to just choose random suspects to waste your money with because you don't have anything to do with it?! Your article is fake!" "As if we believe that someone like you goes to the same school our boyfriends went to. Are you that sad Ms. Wescott?! Is that the consequence of being too rich?!" I couldn't control myself from being aggressive as well since they started it. So I pressed her cheeks

AMAYA'S POV As soon as the trial was adjourned I was relieved to finally be out of their radar. Those criminals couldn't speak for themselves the moment I arrived. Even after I talked for myself. I continued to walk outside the court and as expected there were too many media again trying to interview us. But we just went straight to the car as Noah assisted us till we got inside. Malia patted my shoulder as if she was saying that I did a great job at the court today. I just looked at her and gave her a slight smile as Noah proceeded with driving. Though before we could even move farther from the crowd someone suddenly called on my phone. It was an unknown number. It was very unusual for me to see an unregistered call on my phone and yet something is telling me that I would not regret answering this one. The moment I said my greeting, I heard a very familiar voice from the other side. At that moment, I couldn't be happy enough to hear that voice. "A-Amaya?" Heavy breathing in between

MAX'S POVI didn't like what I heard from Malia at all. True, Amaya and I do have constant communication to make our relationship work but it looks like it wasn't enough. Amaya needs the physical me beside her. The one that should be comforting her or supporting her with the rape case. But no, it was someone else who is with her right now. That fucking Hugo is ruining my chance in this relationship!I gave a strong thump on my table as I saw Fylissa's reaction right in front of me trying to peacefully finish her coffee. It was priceless. She continued sipping it though but I couldn't handle seeing her so calm after witnessing me lose my control. She may have given me a shocked face earlier but I don't like it. Vesna's response could be different."Ugh! If only your brother was already awake then I wouldn't need to worry about Amaya being entangled with that strange French guy!" I exclaimed in frustration and turned my back from Fylissa and looked through my window. I can see the stree

AMAYA'S POVWhen I returned to the office, all I could think about was how disappointed Hugo would be after what happened in the hospital. I mean I never thought of having that sort of scene as soon as I found out that Conan's safe. I don't want to make things awkward for us the next time we meet though so maybe I'll just invite him for a drink? At my favorite club perhaps? Yeah, maybe that would do. I'll call him and we'll enjoy the night after our work. Time flies so fast and it was already four in the afternoon. I will be ending my company duties but all of a sudden, the board asked for an emergency meeting. Why on earth would we need to have a meeting? I am already so excited about my upcoming date with Hugo but they tend to ruin my excitement. But still, I have no choice but to attend since Malia is back and she's the most strict executive assistant I ever have. For her, the company comes first. "I'll be going to a club after this meeting. Do you want to come?" I tried to invite

AMAYA'S POVWhen I got that call, I immediately ran towards the hospital as everyone tried to keep me outside while most of the doctors were trying to stabilize Flynn's situation. The only thing I can only understand is that the cardiac monitor was beeping abnormally. My feelings were all mixed up and being sober is not helping me at all. I couldn't think straight for one second and my body was trembling in anxiety. All I could do was cry under my hands. I hope everything will turn out well.Finally, one of the doctors came near me informing me about Flynn's condition and it struck me when he said that he was awake. I ran towards the room and I saw Flynn's eyes looking around him. I cried even more in happiness. I held his hand as he looked at me. His eyes don't say he was happy to see me but more confusion. I looked back to the doctors behind me, wanting an answer to why Flynn couldn't recognize me."Since the spinal cord is connected to the brain, there is a huge possibility that he

AMAYA'S POVAfter that day, I felt amused by how Hugo and I coped with the situation. It could have been worse. Other than that, it looks like we made it up already. Later today, I planned to go back to the hospital where Flynn is confined because the doctors called that his tube has been removed now. That news excites me because that means Flynn is getting better and I could already let him keep up with the events. When I arrived there, I was terrified to see the person standing by his bed talking to him. I had doubts upon entering the room because it might trigger the thoughts behind her head. Though I also don't want to see Flynn dead behind this door. I have to choose between those two. So instead I slowly walked near them as if I didn't want to disturb their talk but Francoise still made her turn towards me when the door clicked. I looked behind her to see if Flynn was alright and he was fine. He even waved at me and smiled. "So Francie? What made you visit here?" I asked not to

AMAYA'S POVHow exactly did I suddenly got married? I should at least remember something, right? How drunk were we last night? I thought it was good enough that I woke up with none of my clothes missing but ended up being married.Hugo and I stayed sitting on opposite sides of the bed silent. We are both trying to remember everything that has happened. Did perhaps someone come inside the room and suddenly call out a priest? Or a judge? There needs to be a lot of files to get a marriage certificate, have they gotten mine already? Is this a fake one? But no, I don't think so. I am holding the marriage certificate in my hands right now and I don't see any fake infringement. Everything seems original. Will there be news about this? I hope not. What am I going to do? I am already messed up enough, should I make an argument with Hugo? Well, technically it's not his fault either. We are both victims here. We are suddenly married to each other overnight and yet we keep thinking about how it's

AMAYA'S POVHugo's invitation is something I should start to value now. He's a decent man and I know he won't disappoint me. As I was preparing myself for the dinner, Malia was looking at me impatiently while I tried to look my best for Hugo. I know that she doesn't want to see this but they leave me no choice. I think I had enough waiting for Max. I am ready for something new. It might be painful at first, but I'll try my best to stay strong."One thing I know best is that I can't stop you from whatever it is you want to do. Though I just want to let you know that people have their timings." I don't exactly get what she means by that so I remained silent while looking at her in the mirror and continued to put on my accessories.Then Hugo picked me up from the hotel I was staying in as I left Malia there alone. I wanted to tell her that she can just go visit Conan if she wants but as I think of surrendering my relationship with Max I can't muster up the courage to face Malia. "Wow, y

Prideful Lust CHAPTER 90 - END or START
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
