2024-10-29 19:42:56Gryphon was drinking water when Andrea started talking to Roxanne. When she tilted her head, he knew that something else was already going out. That woman next to him suddenly stopped being his wife—or at least the pushover carpet that she had become.
That was why, when she kept on sending attacks at the two girls, he didn’t know how to respond. Should he keep quiet, or should he help her out? Erm, nah, his name got mixed in this. It’s best for him not to speak at this point anymore.
It’s just that he felt how someone else’s hand pressed on his thigh. When he felt it, he quickly jerked to look. It was Sammy’s hand, but she was pressing a towel on him… because he was already spilling water on himself. He brought the glass down and subtly patted the towel to dry his lap.

The faint music in the background flitted into his ears as soon as he opened the door of their suite. Gryphon had to wait for the elevator to return to the lobby, like an idiot who got left behind. However, he was only annoyed at Bettina’s decision to exclude him. Whether Andrea told him what happened that night or not, he’d get it out one way or another. That was why he just walked inside their room as soon as he got there.His eyes landed on Andrea’s back view. In her dressing robe, the shapely wife was humming along to the faint music and seemingly preparing something on the small table near the bed. Gryphon only watched her for a few seconds before speaking again.“Andy, that’s not some poison that she gave you, is it? Why are you pouring wine for us?” Gryphon hummed as he looked away and decided to change into his dressi

The island that Bettina promised to be a sight of a lifetime ended up being a paradise on earth for Andrea. Around them were sandbars, and the supposed resort was nothing but a collection of cottages. Some cottages could even be pushed into the sea and left to float. The wife grew giddy before turning around her spot to flash her smile at the whistling husband.However, even if she wanted to rent a cottage and stay afloat in the water, the diving site was on another part of the island. They just walked a bit further than Bettina’s main group as Joshua led them and two other couples to the diving spot. There, they met the instructors and the small cottage that served as the locker room for the customers.Andrea and Gryphon removed their outer clothes, donning their swimsuit underneath. The other couples also did the same. Even if they were not diving very
The Billionaire's Pretend Darling Have a Drink with Death
The phone continued to ring, but the other end wouldn’t answer it for the third time. Gryphon had grown tired of dialing the number that wouldn’t pick up. He declined the call from the landline and just told the receptionist to pass on the message. However, it didn’t seem like Roxanne would have it any other way. He was only left to stare at the failed call screen before letting it close to show the home screen.Ding, the vacant phone screen with Andrea’s face as wallpaper was marred with a message notification. It came from the concierge, saying that his package had arrived.“…screw it. If she doesn’t want my terms, then we won’t play a game.” Gryphon hissed as he finally pocketed his phone. He excused himself from the room in the guise of picking up a package from the reception, so he just made the concie
The Billionaire's Pretend Darling Ashley Should Never be Alone
The phone on the nightstand rang out one after another as if all the emails and notifications from weeks ago decided to assault Andrea as soon as she connected to Gryphon’s home Wi-Fi. They just finished unpacking the luggage from the honeymoon trip, and Andrea did the laundry while the phone was left to fend off the vibrations and notification sounds that wouldn’t even finish playing.Soon enough, the battlefield had gone quiet. Andrea picked up her phone and saw that there were more than a hundred of them waiting for her. However, she just mercilessly swiped all of them to the side after taking note of all the apps that sent in the important ones.She sat on the bed and looked at the photos of the finished [Cosmic Paradise–Fantasy] that Leon sent. He also sent photos of the rough draft for this questionable watch that Monarch wanted to consu
The Billionaire's Pretend Darling The Gryphon to the Andrea
Days passed after their return. Andrea quietly worked on two plans while waiting for the launch of [Fantasy] in the coming weeks. After all, the two companies decided to wait for [Expression] to be finished. Yes, the next watch in the [Snow Paradise] collection was called Expression. For now, she should focus on the third [Gardener] watch.Andrea scrolled through the ideas sent in by the R&D department of VNVS. They knew that the Gardener series involved the least used flowers and gave fantastic remixes to them. It didn’t have to be extremely luxurious as the series catered to the middle class.“Oh, this is a fun idea…” The owner lifted her brows and saw a suggestion for a luminescent case. It would stay dark in the morning, but it would light up at night. Though this would take quite a while to have a functioning design, Andrea had

The lights of the Moissanite Hotel grew bright again, and the staff was working their asses off to make sure that the conference was going to be the most successful. Andrea sat on her vanity and had the make-up artist work her magic. Sammy was on the phone with another person on the other side of the room, dealing with the influx of people coming in. After all, this was a joint exhibit of both Monarch’s Delight and VNVS. Some weeks ago, they had already announced Pearce Empire’s acquisition of the other timepiece giant. Right now, as if royals of the watch-making brands, Gryphon and Andrea Pearce sat on the throne. Cameras flashed all over the place as the guests were allowed to enter soon enough. The same faces who walked inside the by-invitation parties were the same people in this launch event. Of course, it was their money that flowed in and out of the co
The Billionaire's Pretend Darling Wedding Ring
In the end, Gryphon didn’t show up at the event at all. Andrea knew that he was there minutes earlier before it started, but not even seeing a shadow of him there made her wonder. Moreover, Parker had spoken of something strange. That mother only had a few fears, and so she was sure that Parker knew that disturbing Gryphon’s phone call was bad for the company.It’s just that she waited for him at the event hall for the next two hours. Almost everyone else had gone home, but Ashley and Sammy continued to wait with her. They were just sitting at the side while the egress of the event was underway.With a hotdog sandwich wrapped in the expensive paper of the restaurant in the hotel, Andrea watched the grand showcase get torn down piece by piece. It was like she was staring at her fantasy life being ripped apart now that the show was over. Gryphon
The Billionaire's Pretend Darling How Good of a Magician Are You?
The washer whirred as Andrea stood before it. She was doing their laundry that quiet afternoon after getting drafts out there for an evaluation. No, Leon didn’t have the power to turn down the plates; she only needed the estimates and if the company could mass produce it in a few months. Moreover, he knew the master craftsmen in the field—as well as their prices.Right now, she was just humming along with the song in the background. After doing the laundry, she could start cleaning the study. The last time, she found some missing document pages there, lost some weeks ago. It was even long enough to drive Gryphon furious.Ding! There was a notification on the tablet mounted on the wall. Gryphon just entered the gates, and Andrea pressed on it to see the camera feed of him rolling up to his parking spot. When he got to the door, she just returned to a

At those words, Charlotte frowned before dropping her shoulders in her little tantrum. “You lied to me? Why? I thought princes are supposed to be honest!”“…I don’t want you to think that I’m lonely. Princes have pride.” Gryphon somewhat snorted as he leaned on the frame of the door. He then eyed Andrea who only looked at him, ignoring the indiscernible emotion in her eyes. “We just went to pay for your bills, and you were already gone when we came back. Tch, you’re really Charlotte’s mother, aren’t you?”“Gryphon, I…” Andrea then saw how Marlene and Tommy showed up next to him. She only smiled at the arrival of her friends, feeling embarrassed. “Hey, thank you for coming to see Charlie. Erm, introductions will be messy at this point, I think.”

The next thing Andrea knew, she was lying down on a hospital bed again. She could still remember the things that happened that time, the nightmare that she survived once again. No one could have prepared her for the fact that it only took Mathias four years to completely forget about being human. However, he wouldn’t return to jail anymore. Gryphon made sure he wouldn’t.Even if she looked so pitiful, Andrea didn’t feel her body aching anymore. The drug must have been flushed out already, and the dextrose succeeded in making her body feel refreshed again. The only bad thing about this was that her left hand was in a cast for weeks.“…I have a bulk order…” Andrea whispered before reaching out for her call nurse button. “I need to find Charlie. She must be so scared to be on her own.”

Andrea had to get that heel to help herself. She then looked at how Mathias busied himself with Roxanne just steps away from her. The young mother then moved her left hand and tried to slip it out of the chains wrapped around it. She reached her right hand higher to relieve some pressure from the left as she forcefully worked it out. It didn’t matter how much burns she would get from this action.She had to escape these binds before Mathias finished with the other woman. She must get away before Gryphon got lured here.Keeping her cries to herself, she forced her left hand out of the chains with great difficulty. Her skin grew red and bruised, and her thumb even lost sensation from the potential break from the joint. However, she managed to slowly free her hands without making a sound that was too loud for Mathias to notice.

When he heard his name from the woman’s mouth, Gryphon lifted a brow. He didn’t know why the woman had a rather big reaction to seeing him there. He wasn’t even a celebrity that a lot of people wanted to get really close to.The man just looked away from the black woman and motioned to pick up the child. “Little Highness, let’s get you somewhere safer—”“Ow! Wait, it hurts!” Charlotte suddenly felt pain in her body now that her excitement lessened. She couldn’t even raise her arms to accept the carry. Soon enough, she hugged herself and cried out as if everything she did hurt her. She even shivered from the multiple assaults on her small body. “My back hurts… my chest hurts… I can’t breathe… Help me, Mommy… Daddy… help…”

Ring! Ring! Andrea stared at the phone ringing on the kitchen counter. She was preparing dinner, while Charlotte was drawing on the living floor. However, the TV was on, so the child wouldn’t hear how much Andrea let the phone ring. She didn’t even have a prompt set up to receive a voicemail. When the phone picked it up, regardless, Andrea just heard Gryphon’s voice. [“Andy, pick up the phone. We need to talk. Now.”] His tone was short and commanding, and Andrea didn’t use to hearing it that way. It was as if it was a different person already. However, she also berated herself for not blocking the number. Even if she didn’t have it saved in her contacts, she had the number memorized. She should have just declined the call and blocked it then and there. She just felt like it wasn’t the right thing to do; she
The Billionaire's Pretend Darling Going Too Far
Roxanne knew that Kelsey was supposed to pick up the monster from the prison today. They worked on getting his case dismissed, pining everything on the former president who frame his employees to take the fall for him. Of course, they had to work in the shadows, so neither Gryphon nor Ashley would catch any of them. If things happened, they would be diced into pieces… literally.However, four hours had already passed since Kelsey last sent her a text. Without confirmation of the man being onboard their plan, Roxanne couldn’t help but stay frustrated. It even showed by how she did her daily tasks to seduce the CEO.She waltzed inside the office and brought Gryphon a cup of coffee for the late afternoon. A tray was in her hands, and she placed the cup down on his desk like clockwork. She then looked at the glass wall behind him, hoping that Kelsey wo

Furious knocking came to the door, and it came to a point when the occupant of the room growled in annoyance. She reached out to flip her hair back and press on the phone to make the loud music stop. Slowly slithering out of the person on her bed, she bent down to pick up a shirt to cover her naked body. She also grabbed a hair tie from the side.“Just stay there. Don’t make a sound, or else I will cut your little guy off for real.” She huffed at the fringe she picked from the ponytail to have something to frame her face. There was something sticky between her legs, but she only endured it as she made her way to her condo unit’s main door.“You better be hot SWAT officers or something…” The woman peeked through the hole and saw a furious and puffing Roxanne pacing outside her door. Not knowing what could drive her cous

Andrea also wondered if the truth made her sad. She kept on preparing herself for the time when Gryphon would come to collect her… or even just their daughter. Her new life was built on the assumption that Gryphon would drag her back into his world the moment he found her.However, when it came to it, the man only watched them come and go like he didn’t even know them. Now that she faced the man’s mother, she also heard how Gryphon refused to connect with her anymore. She was the one who left him that night, but why did it feel like she was still the one who lost the most?Did she hope that Gryphon would chase her to the end of the earth? Now that he didn’t, her heart decided to shatter some more.She just offered a smile, which Parker caught in its least visible state. “Not really. I
The Billionaire's Pretend Darling Ask Me to Come Back
The aftermath was the worst that ever happened in the last four years of Andrea vanishing. As soon as Gryphon met with his father in the parking lot, Parker stopped them both from leaving. She had a finger knife out, holding up both males in her small family. “Will anyone tell me what just happened? Did we really just see Andy there… and not make a sound?!”“Hon, let’s continue this conversation at home. We drove hours just to get here.” Fred sighed as he knew the mood of his wife. It was as if someone hid a tub of her favorite yogurt and ate all of it without sharing it with her. “Aren’t you tired? I’m tired.”“I am tired! I’m so tired of looking for Andy, yet when she shows up, we do nothing!” She turned her finger at Gryphon’s face. “You did nothing! No ‘hello,&r
