Prideful Lust Chapter 53 - Words of Threat
HUGO'S POV"Fuck him! Fuck that Howards! Why does he have to show up there?! Damn it!" As I threw off my keys on the glass center table in my living room. I felt humiliated by what he did back there. I risked Amaya's life in my operation cause I know it'll be more convincing but how did Max know about such a thing, when he just got here?! Now I'm starting to become the bad one for bringing her along. I got a mouthful from the chief, lost a huge amount of money, and the disadvantage of my wife because her lover suddenly showed up.I let out a scream in my house when surprisingly I heard my room door click. I slowly turned behind me, expecting that I was alone in my house. I could have been robbed or whatever but little did I know that Francoise found her way into barging in. As I saw her coming out of my bedroom like she just got up from sleep."Francie? What are you doing here? Ho- How did you get in?" I asked while I looked at her walking down the stairs. She seems half awake, frowni
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 54 - The Call
MAX'S POV It was astounding news when I found out that Amaya sent divorce papers to Hugo. It gave me hope and this time, I'm going to make it worth it. She's better than the billions I spent on all the properties here in New York. Though it may seem a little bit different from LA I could get used to it. I'll have my woman tour me anyway. Everything wouldn't be possible without a little help.With that, I had a great morning to greet. I smiled at every person I encountered in the hall as I walked toward Ace's condo unit that I bought for him here in New York. As I opened the door with the bags of groceries in my arms I saw him playing video games already. It has been a part of his daily routine and I just let him be."Hey Ace, you know that it is expected for the police to call me since I was there in their operation right? What should I say?" I asked him as I walked past him to get to the kitchen. It was still early for him to be gaming but I didn't care because everything was running
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 55 - Her Truth
AMAYA'S POV I called Max because I changed my mind. I want to throw this lunatic behind bars even if it is temporary. I can't have her mess with my thoughts for the next few days while I need to settle things with Hugo. I also can't help but get worried about my family. If she was able to do it to Flynn and Conan yet already made me heartbroken much worse to them. I might even wish I'd die first before they even lose a single drop of blood. I tried to escape from her but with my current location, it's not going to be that easy. I was hoping Max already called the cops. While I was walking down the stairs from the rooftop, my confidence faded as soon as the wind stopped blowing into my face. When the door closed, my heart started beating loudly. I thought I was moving fast down but as I reached the next floor, I already heard Francoise's voice and my legs started to weaken. I knew that the moment she followed, she was going to get violent. I can hear her voice echoing all over the hal
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 56 - Changes
THIRD PERSON'S POV After the incident in Galiviosa. Reporters were camping right in front of each building the Galiviosa owns waiting for a chance to interview either the employees or the board members about the incident. The news immediately spread all over New York City as soon as the public saw a group of police cars and ambulances in front of Galiviosa. Which later on brought in the CEO, Amaya Wescott, and Francoise Lefebvre, the Heiress of the Oasis with both having severe injuries. Now, everyone was wondering about what could be the things that happened inside that got them hurt so badly like that. Not to mention that Miss Lefebvre has a metal stuck on her belly. But what triggered everyone's wonder the most was Mr. Max Howards, the CEO of Howards Inc., who was present in the incident. The public's conclusions were most likely that maybe the two ladies were fighting over Mr. Howards but then others defended that Miss Amaya was already married to Mr. Hugo Lefebvre, the
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 57 - Reunion
AMAYA'S POV I hate to say this but, today is Nicolson's last day with me in Galiviosa. I'm glad that Vanique gave me the chance to spend a week with my nephew. He's a great kid, and quite intelligent too. I even teased Vanique before about adopting him to have someone with me in Galiviosa the moment she gave birth to him. He's just so adorable. He got Vanique's look and mine which my mom was very proud of. While his younger brother Nolland looks more like Noah. Since then, I didn't even realize that I love kids. I even built them their playroom so that whenever they visit me, they can take all the time they want. While at the same time helping Vanique keep them in control whenever she decides to bring them along at work. She became my executive assistant ever since Malia decided to go back to LA and I'm glad she chose to be with her brother. I will never stop that from happening.Though this emotional feeling may have fueled my heart of being about to miss this kiddo for the next few
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 58 - Engagement
MAX'S POV I didn't have any idea what it could be and I just blurted out without thinking about the consequences. Though will there be? Her eyes widened after I asked her those words and she was speechless for a while. It made her stand off the sofa and walk around her office. I couldn't guess what she was thinking so I just stayed silent. Nervous about how she would answer me. It was not the best thing to ask since we just saw each other again but I don't want to be late as well. Back then, when I found out that she suddenly got married to Hugo, I was very upset that I kept forcing Ace to find out how it all happened and if it was just a rumor that people couldn't get over because they were popular businessmen. But then, Vanique called and said it was true. I can't risk that ever happening again. "It's fine if you need time to think about it. I can wait." I said to her while I slowly wore back my clothes. I also took her shirt and hung it on her back since she was as naked as me. B
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 59 - Not The End
AMAYA’S POV This may sound like the ending but it’s not. More things are coming into our hands. The sounds of wedding bells may seem to be the idea in the following chapters of our life but let me stop you there. Because even with my heart and my mind confused at that moment, I still crave. I’m unstoppable. Max could get exhausted accompanying me though as long as the emotions still burn inside us. I will stay loyal. Since our engagement, Max has been staying with me in my building already. He was very determined to be with me. There, we had the time of our lives without any distractions. My moans echoed throughout the whole room as we thrust back and forth releasing body heat. His broad shoulders and muscular back above me feel like it was our first time. Max still has his skills intact. I felt lucky to make love with him and I want to do it all over again. May it be in the kitchen, living and dining area, library, bedroom, and most especially in the bathroom. I could pick my favor
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 60 - Odd New Man
AMAYA’S POV Tyler started stuttering when Max arrived in the room. He tried explaining his ideas to Max while I sat and stayed quiet. I was in awe looking at Max negotiating with the theme of reconsidering the things I like and dislike. It was fascinating to look at if only he was not talking to this douche who was playing pretend well. I just don’t get the idea why he would tend to act like that. “Amaya’s not the colorful flower type, she’s more on focusing on one or two colors and their family. Though gold is too luxurious. We tend to keep it simple. The guest might get intimidated.” Max sounded so intelligent that it makes me sound dumb. Is this how it feels to recognize my love for someone and not doubt it for once? As we finished our meeting, Tyler left as if nothing odd happened before Max’s arrival. Max also excused himself since he has other appointments he needed to attend. It was easier for us to understand each other because of the same field of work. Yet, there’s someth

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
