Igneel and Amber left early the next day, only Amber's mother, Annie, woke up first, so she was the only one they could say goodbye to. "Are you all right?" Stephen suddenly asked Amber as she quietly got into the car. Stephen wondered why Amber was silent. Amber nodded. "I'm fine, why did you ask?" Amber asked calmly. "Nothing, I just thought what's wrong with you because you haven't been talking for a while after we left at your place. Don't you want to come with me now?” Amber immediately turned to Stephen because of the shock. "No, no." She shook her head. "I didn't think about not going with you because it's work. I just remembered my family," answered Amber. Stephen nodded, and he drove slowly. "Do you want to share anything? Maybe I could help?” asked Stephen. Amber shook her head and then smiled lightly. "It's okay, Stephen. I'm also happy to be with them now. I just don't want to tell them about you buying me a condo unit," explained Amber. Stephen frowned a little, he
When Stephen arrived at the bar area of the resort where Engineer Anderson and Architect Morales were waiting, they immediately stood up and paid respect to Stephen."We need to make this faster so I can return to our cabin. Amber is waiting," Stephen said seriously.Anderson and Morales looked at each other for a moment because of what Stephen said, and nodded in agreement at the same time.They started talking about the Casino Hotel project, they talked a lot about the structure of the building until they finished talking about the project. Architect Morales said goodbye for a while because someone called him, leaving behind Stephen and Engineer Anderson. They both looked at each other and with that look, they knew what it meant."I don't like the way you look at me, Leon..." Stephen said seriously.Leon or Engineer Leon Anderson took a deep breath.. “Are you really not going back to the organization? I know Eduardo met you to send you back—”“I didn't take you on this project to
The two of them continued swimming, it was hot and until now it was just the two of them swimming in the sea, there was no one else but they could see someone walking around. Earlier, Amber didn't want to go on her mind because she was shy but Stephen forced her to go on so she didn't do anything."I don't know how to swim," Amber said shyly. Stephen smiled when he heard that."I will teach you," he said. Amber was even more embarrassed, she was afraid to swim so all she wanted was to be close. "Come here," said Stephen and went in front of Ambe, his back was turned.Amber frowned in surprise, "what should I do?" Amber asked, confused by what Stephen was trying to say."Ride at my back, I'll take care of you. Let us swim while you're at my back," said Stephen.Amber's mouth dropped because she didn't expect that, she stepped back slightly and shook her head. "No, no. It's okay. I can do it if it's just here nearby—”"Don't worry..." Stephen immediately grabbed Amber's hand while her b
They were both gasping for breath when they finished, Amber was lying next to Stephen with her head resting on Stephen's arm. Stephen looked at Amber and then smiled."I'm sorry..." he said.Amber smiled, as if what happened to her was okay. That's when she felt pain and stiffness in her body. "It's okay, my body just hurts..." Amber said softly, as if she was ashamed to tell Stephen that.Stephen turned to face Amber, so their position now is Amber is also facing him while her head is still resting on Stephen's arm; they are hugging each other."I'm sorry for doing that. Don't worry, I'll make it up with your body.""What?" Amber asked in surprise, she didn't understand what Stephen said."I mean, we will go to the massage so that your body won't hurt anymore—"Amber immediately got up and looked at Stephen with her mouth agape. "It is not needed. Maybe the pain will disappear soon," she immediately told Stephen.Stephen just nodded and agreed, he let Amber lay next to him again. “Wh
When Amber woke up she wondered why he was in her bed. She also immediately remembered that they were from a private resort. She also turned to her side thinking that Stephen was next to her but she seemed disappointed when she didn't see Stephen next to her.“Oh, God. Really? Why are you disappointed?” she asked herself. She shook her head to get those out of her mind.She left her bed and when she saw that she hadn't changed her dress yet, she immediately entered the bathroom to take a shower and put on her house clothes. When she left the room, she found her family watching the show. They immediately turned around when they felt Amber's presence because her door sounded after closing.“Mom, Dad…where is Stephen?” that's what she immediately asked when facing the family."Go home, you were in a hurry when you were brought here. He didn't wake you up because you were tired," answered Anne.Amber nodded and went straight to the kitchen. "There is food there, I cooked for you. We could
His grandfather glared at him, not expecting that Stephen would say that. Because the chairman fully thought that Stephen would do what he wanted. Stephen is the only one he sees as having the potential to take his place."You did not consider my choice? You are the one I want to take over my position as a chairman, Stephen. Why are you contradicting me?” his grandfather asked seriously.Stephen closed his eyes tightly for a moment. "If you want me, why do we have to compete for the position of chairman? Why don't you just give it to me without anything in return?” Stephen asked seriously.The Chairman smirked as if he was laughing at Stephen's question. "Well, I just want to see that you all care about the position I will give to all of you in the company and how persistent you are to be part of my legacy..." Chairman said at length.Stephen understood that point but he just couldn't understand why his grandfather was torturing others, especially his cousins who had no intention of
A few minutes of silence fell between Stephen and Amber, even Amber's eyes couldn't move too close because of the shock of what Stephen said. It seems like a strong wind came out."W-what did you just say?" she asked weakly but stammered, she just forced herself to speak because even Stephen didn't speak again. He just watched Amber, waiting for what the answer would be.Who wouldn't be surprised when he suddenly said that word? Ever since he drove to Amber's condo, that's what he's been thinking. For him, he doesn't care if he has a competitor in getting the position as chairman of his family's company, but he also saw how his parents and himself worked hard to get the CEO position. Like his father Jonas, he will not allow his hard work to go to waste.Leandra was really going to get them married because that was the family tradition but he also really loved Leandra that time so he agreed. But now, it's another challenge and his only goal is to find someone to marry so he doesn't lo
Amber returned to the condo with a smile on her face. One of his sisters approached. Andrew's next."Do you like him?"Amber was surprised by her sister's sudden question, so she stood up straight and looked at her sister, her brow furrowed."What are you talking about, Jennie?" Amber asked and then walked to her room. Jennie followed him."I can see it. It's obvious that you like him and so does he, it's obvious that he likes you, Amber." Jennie said with a smile.Amber frowned even more. She knew what Jennie said was true but she didn't know that Stephen and her were so obvious for her sister Jennie to notice right away."You're talking nonsense, Jennie. Go to bed early because I will come with you two, you and Allen and early tomorrow to enroll you,” said Amber and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.Jennie just laughed because of Amber's reaction. It was also obvious to her that Amber avoided such a matter. Jennie left Amber's room and went straight to her sister’s roo
The day came when my father woke up so we were all in the hospital, including Diego. He still has difficulty speaking but that is the only problem. The doctor said that he is slowly recovering so we can expect him to continue recovering. I haven't even told my father that I'm getting married because he hasn't spoken yet. So the first thing my mother and I did was prepare for the wedding."Do you think Dad would be angry if I told him?" I asked Diego. We left the hospital and Diego told Dad that we should stay with them first, he didn't even nod, he couldn't do anything because it was only right that they were close to me."He won't get mad, I am sure of that." I turned to him. I still can't imagine him being hands on in preparing for the wedding even though I can also see that he is busy with his own life. Occasionally I see him come out at dawn. We still haven’t shared the same room because that’s what my mom told us. If the two people are not married, do not share the same room."I'
“I just thought that you would cook for them. I wouldn't have eaten dinner but if you cook, I'll get home early. ” I stopped. I bit my lip because of what I heard from him, I was even more embarrassed because of that."If your walk is important and you can endure, I'll just leave for—"“No. I will come home early later and we will eat together. ” He cut me off and he smiled. I nodded slowly and let him do what he wanted because we might take a long time if we continued to argue.Once we entered the house, he also immediately entered his room and I told the helpers that I would cook, they said they would help me so I would cook more for everyone. I would first deliver the food to the hospital for mom and my brothers, and I would go back home to wait for Diego. All I cook is stew meat and grilled fish. He didn't say what he wanted so I'll take care of it. Dad taught me how to cook a lot of recipes when I was young. When they were still in good health, we had a small restaurant with us a
"Aren't you leaving?" I asked him. Earlier he accompanied me here to the hospital, until now Dad is not yet done with his operation.“I finished everything I did for this. Here, eat first. I also sent dinner to your family so don't worry. ” He sat down beside me after he gave me the food.I watched him. What is he doing? Is he still waiting for me to accept his offer? "Diego," I called. He looked at me and then I averted my eyes from him. I held his right hand which surprised him. "I have something to tell you.""What is it?" he asked seriously but the nervousness could be seen on his face. He was about to get off his hand but I held it tightly. “Why? Is there a problem with what you say? ” he asked. I bit my lower lip because I don't think his face can be painted anymore.“Nothing. I just want to say that I am now accepting the offer. ” His forehead furrowed so I was curious. Why? Doesn't he? “Why? I am accepting the offer, is that what you want, right? I just want to help you with y
Diego told me earlier that he would not leave me beside him, this is me now he is not with me."So, how long have you and Diego known each other?" Lucy, one of Diego's friend's girlfriends, asked me.They all asked me a lot of questions when the men were talking, and we women were left at the big table. I had no choice but to mingle with these social people."Just recently," I sparingly replied. I’m still embarrassed because I really feel like I’m not fit to be with them."What do you mean, just recently? As in, not long ago?" one asked, I forgot her name.How can I say that I will not be judged? Did Diego just use me to be with someone here or will Diego buy me to be his wife? Of course, that’s not what I’m going to say because that’s a shame on Diego and me."Six months," I said. They seem to believe. Until we talked differently, I just asked questions that could be told to them just so that not everyone would pay attention to me."Excuse me." I stood up and said goodbye to go to th
I don’t know what Diego wants to happen, he called my parents earlier to say that if I could be included anywhere. This is my parents, they happily accepted Diego's wishes, they allowed Diego to take me with them. So now, I’m here at his house to shop for clothes online because that’s what he ordered. I was with Mina, one of the helpers. She's at my age.“Don’t you like it, Ma’am?” She showed me the black dress and I am pretty sure that my chest would be obvious, the back was also open. She is beautiful but I don't know where Diego and I will go to wear this dress.“It is good, but I don't know where Diego and I are going, I will call him first and if I know what we are going for. We will be back. ”"All right, Ma'am." I turned from her and took the cell phone, I called Diego who immediately answered.“Hey, is there a problem? I'm going home in a minute,” he said calmly to me. I'm just tired because his voice seems to get better when he talks to me.“Mr. Diego Mariano, yes there is a
What is he saying? "What did you say?" I asked with a frown. What will he do to put me to sleep? Do I look like a child who should be put to sleep? "I'm going back to the room, continue what you're doing." I was about to turn around when I stopped because he called me.“If you can’t sleep, would you mind joining me?” I narrowed my eyes on him, looked at his whole being. Will he let me work out too? "I mean, what do you want us to do until you fall asleep.""You won't do what I want you to do—"“Except that thing, Janella. I don’t do that… not now. ” He already knew what I was talking about. I had no idea what to do. I looked at him wearing a top so I could breathe easily, he motioned for me to follow him into the kitchen.I accepted the wine he gave me. "This one will help you sleep, try it." I looked for a moment and tasted, the wine he gave me was delicious. It's apple flavored. I sat in front of him and he sat in front of me.I looked at him as he also poured wine for him. I took a
I don’t know how I got to his car without being forced. He was driving quietly and I was simply looking at him. Earlier he said, I could not speak and just sat on the bed, he was on the couch until the end of my work shift. We did nothing but look, not moving. He was always looking at his watch, he also suddenly pulled me out of the club. I haven't even talked to Miss Pim, Diego directed me to his car. I just texted Miss Pim that I was leaving and was with Diego, I am pretty sure she knew Diego was with me because she didn't tell me that Diego was the VIP customer. I was still wearing my bathrobe, I got my things right away and some of my colleagues even wondered who was pulling me but I didn't have time to explain everything to them.I was surprised to look out of the car when we entered the big gate, it was opened by two guards. "Where are we?" I asked him."In our house," he replied, so I was even more surprised. Seriously, the huge size of their house. Is it still a human's house?
It's time for me to go on stage. I was wearing my thin cardigan, the whole body was clearly visible just wearing little lingerie. I heard people shouting outside even before I climbed, they already knew the signal that I was coming out. The DJ will play a song for me and that's the sign for me to go up so people are already shouting."The star!" shouted by them.As I stepped up the stairs, I slowly took off my cardigan cover so the surroundings became even louder. I touched my body from my hip and walked to the front. They started throwing money away. I did nothing but accompany the music and let the money they threw on the stage. I walked to the pole and I started my dance. I do pole dancing. All this I was able to do for the money."Nothing faded, she's still hot." I heard one of the men say. I searched for that voice and when I saw it, I smiled at him. I walked towards them, I danced in front of them. I slowly removed my underwear and turned off the light there as well. Any gadget
After I finished my shower and cleaned up, I simply put on something. I wore a plain T-shirt and fitted pants. I had no idea where the two of us were going, and I had even more trouble saying we would be leaving now. It was his decision. I will be leaving later because I'm going to the club, and I'm sure Miss Pim will be surprised if she saw me. Since I have worked at this club for several years and I am used to doing my job in this world, I will not accept the offer."Where is Diego?" I asked Justine, my second brother, and he pointed outside the house, where I saw Diego turning around and seems he is talking to someone on the phone. I turned back to my two brothers, staring at them. "Help clean the house and then help Mom and Dad with work after you do your school works.""Yes ma'am!" they said together and laughed some more.I sighed and then left the house, waiting for him to finish. He looks busy with life, he still has time to go out. I hold the folder that contains the agreemen
