In order for them to talk more properly, Amethyst immediately took Dylan to where he was staying. Amethyst led Dylan down a narrow path to a small, cozy house nestled among the trees. This is the only house that no one lives in, and the owner also lets him live in it because his son is not there to take care of the house. Because the house needs to be taken care of so that it doesn't get damaged immediately.Because it was the afternoon that Dylan arrived, the change in the sky could be seen immediately. The evening sun cast a warm glow over the village, adding a sense of tranquility to the scene. Dylan rarely gets to see it, so as Amethyst leads Dylan to where it's staying, Dylan can't help but be impressed.When they got to the house, Dylan looked at it. The house wasn't old, but it wasn't the kind of house he wanted Amethyst to live in either. For Dylan, all the best must be given to Amethyst. Amethyst deserves all the best; that's why the house that Amethyst lives in now is not pe
Three girls were in the car, and they traveled through the bustling city streets, its occupants brimming with anticipation as they made their way to the headquarters of La Xiena Mafia. That's right, these three girls were part of one of the most respected mafias in their country. However, their identities were hidden. Although they are part of the underworld, they still needed to mingle outside. Thus, no one knew about it. Besides, their mafia has a legal business wherein they buy a mask for them. Amethyst sat between her two friends and fellow members of the upper echelon, Venna and Maureen, her heart fluttering with nervous excitement. How could they not? This is the first time their boss will throw a party for his own birthday. Usually, they will only eat outside, and that's it. However, tonight was not just any celebration; it was Dylan Villarosa's birthday, the man who had captured Amethyst's heart for five long years. The man who had given them an order made them feel respected
After the teasing subsided, Amethyst's heart swelled with hope as Dylan turned his attention towards her. She did not know what to do. What is it that she should do? However, her hopes were dashed as she met his gaze, finding his eyes cold and indifferent, devoid of the warmth she had longed for. It made her feel like she was showering in cold water. It was like a wake-up call for her. A sharp pang of hurt pierced through her chest, leaving her feeling as though a weight had settled in the pit of her stomach.What is it? Why is he looking at her with his cold eyes? Was it wrong to fall in love with him? However, she refuses to give up.She doesn't want to. Not until he told her so."Thank you." Dylan's voice cut through the silence, the words devoid of any warmth or sincerity. It was as if he were merely going through the motions, his tone icy and detached.Everyone was used to hearing Dylan with his voice void of emotion. However, they still felt a little shock since they knew that
As the tension in the room reached its peak, everyone stood frozen in shock, lost for words in the wake of Dylan and Maureen's confrontation. The women in their group aren't fond of talking back, but this time they talk back to their boss, who is new to them. The once-vibrant atmosphere had turned somber, weighed down by the heaviness of the emotions swirling in the air.Well, they knew that this wasn't the women's fault but their boss. So, they could only scold their boss in their hearts.Amethyst felt the weight of everyone's stares bearing down on her, their silent scrutiny like a heavy burden on her shoulders. She doesn't want this to continue. She doesn't want to ruin Dylan's day just because of her. Despite the pain that gnawed at her heart, despite the disappointment, she knew she couldn't let it show. It will only make them feel like she's weak. With a forced smile plastered on her lips, she squared her shoulders and took a deep breath, willing herself to appear unaffected by
In a fancy restaurant, there are only five people. The businessmen who are about to be their business partners are Mr. Rodriguez, Dylan, Maureen, Venna, and Amethyst. Since Amethyst is not the type of person who always wants to talk about business, she only keeps her mouth shut. It was because she wanted to deal with numbers and money more than with businesses. That's why all her business fell. It's quite funny for the core members of the La Xiena Mafia. As Dylan, Venna, and Maureen delved into discussions about potential business partnerships with Mr. Rodriguez, the atmosphere in the meeting room was charged with anticipation. It was because the business was profitable, and it would give them a greater foothold in other industries if it succeeded. And if it does not, it will only make them lose a little money, which isn't that heavy in their wallet. The reason why Dylan let Amethyst come with them was to make her comment about whether it was feasible or not, whether it cost them a
Outside the meeting room, Amethyst's heart sank as she answered the call, recognizing the harsh tone of her father's voice immediately. As expected, they know nothing but to piss her off. "Amethyst, get your ass home right now!" he barked, his words laced with aggression and cruelty.Amethyst clenched her fist as she kept herself calm. She couldn't allow herself to burst out in anger at her father. It wasn't because she's afraid, but because she knew that if she said something, her mother would be in danger. She won't fight her father until her mother is safe and sound by her side. She must be obedient, but not too much to become a pushover.Amethyst's resolve faltered for a moment, but she quickly composed herself, steeling her nerves as she squared her shoulders. She took a deep breath. "I can't, Dad," she replied, her voice steady despite the tremor of fear that gripped her. There's a woman on Dylan's side who wants to be with him. So, she couldn't leave. "I have important work to
Amethyst sat quietly in the backseat of the taxi, the city lights blurring past through the rain-speckled window. He was biting his lower lip because of the series of misfortunes he had in his life. Add to that the pain that Dylan gave him.Amethyst was really wondering to herself, How did she manage all this?He came back to his senses when Amethyst heard the taxi driver's voice."Miss, are you okay? Where are you going?" asked the taxi driver.Hesitating whether to go or not, Amethyst still gave the address of her family's house. It's a villa in an exclusive subdivision; that's why, when the driver saw it, he was surprised. Even so, he did not speak or ask.The steady hum of the engine and the rhythmic patter of raindrops provided a soothing backdrop, but her mind was far from calm.It's really raining today. Heaven is with the pain he feels. How about it? At that dinner, even in front of you, Dylan was openly flirting with others.Yes, she has no right to be jealous, but doesn't sh
Amethyst just sighed. He really doesn't want to go home, but he can't do anything because his father and brothers won't stop him if he doesn't go home.What else do they need from her? She knows that whenever her father and three older brothers are like this, something bad will happen.She has a hunch.Even before she entered, she took a deep breath. It must be a long battle between her and her family.As soon as Amethyst set foot in her family's house, the door barely closed behind her when her father's voice sliced through the air.It's been said that she didn't make a mistake. These people definitely have something bad to say.It's tiring.Amethyst is getting tired of this setup all the time."Amethyst! Do you have any idea what time it is?" Carl's voice boomed from the living room.Because Amethyst was already expecting this, she didn't panic anymore. For where else? Panic or not, it makes no difference.Might as well stay calm.She took a deep breath and walked in, her shoulders
