2022-09-25 12:00:35Gryphon was not the problem. Of course, he wasn’t. Andrea long knew that it was her poor decisions that made her life as it was now. When she decided to excel in life, she gave in to high school pressure and tried not to be so intimidating to get a boy. It was followed by how she fell in love with the state’s prince, the very same guy who broke up with her because she was a commoner.
Then, just when she thought she should live a life for herself, she chose to be enslaved by Mathias. Right now, she was on the run for her life… landing back in the lap of the state prince. How laughable. If only Andrea didn’t think that her life was the only thing she had, she would have given it away as well.
She only scrunched her face to downplay her pain and waved her hand to show her frustration at the man next to her. This Ashley was really Gryphon&r

Even if Gryphon told her to sleep on it, Andrea’s mind was just too agitated when the design plate landed on her hands. She kept on thinking about the many more that she could come up with. Then again, she only had roughly three million to spend. Making another Winter Equinox right off the bat was not going to happen, no matter how much she prayed.In the end, Gryphon had to wake her up before he left for work. Andrea only swam in the bed and hugged the blanket. She rolled to where Gryphon slept that night, feeling the vanishing warmth that he had left on it. However, since he changed in that room, the scent of his body spray and perfume was still in the room. Even when he was long gone, she didn’t forget that he was once there.For some reason, she was too encumbered by her dreams that she ended up sleeping in that day. When she woke up, it was alr

The awful stench of degradation suffocated Andrea’s mind so much that she was shocked to find how Gryphon handled the meeting with the old workers of this company. When she heard him speak, it was like she suddenly found herself in the company of another person. The way he carried himself and spoke was nothing close to the man-child that Andrea knew.It’s just that before she could question her reality, she heard the bit that Gryphon said. He brought his wife to decide… about keeping the workers? She then eyed the hopeful workers and the old owner that was anticipating a good answer from her.Andrea’s eyes widened as it slowly dawned upon her. Even if Gryphon kept on saying that she should be the one doing things, he would do the opposite and decide for her. Perhaps, it was because she didn’t know what to do. Even if she figured i

Instead of what Grandeur expected, two women walked up to their company doors that mid-morning. One was a beautiful blonde that wore a peach business dress, while the other was a redhead with green eyes in a casual suit and a dark pencil skirt. The peach dress had wide white lapels that matched the rolled-up edge on her elbows. Likewise, the other’s blouse was just a darker and redder shade.Andrea had met with her designated secretary that used to work as an executive assistant in Gryphon’s office. The assistant known as Georgina Humphrey drove her to the company for their formal takeover. Since Mr. Grand was phoned in to come as well, he waited for them at the reception.“Good morning, Mr. Grand. Can we talk in your office about a few things?” Andrea decided to go with the sweet approach rather than trying hard to be a sophisticated an

For some reason, Andrea was allowed to work on the new watch in peace. Along with the marketing, the new watch from VNVS would have its first commercial aired. For four weeks, Andrea and Gryphon were quietly working on their own things. Even if it was very suspicious to Andrea, she was too busy to investigate other things that might ask for more attention than she could spare.Being a company owner was harder than she thought. She had made dozens of decisions already, and she had to always be in the company as if an intern to the CEO who was showing her the ropes. Gina made things easier for her, however. Just sign this and sign that; show up here, show up there. Then again, her head was still filled with all the overly complicated contract clauses.Today… marked the first problem that Leon called her for. It was even a big one out of nowhere.

The workers of VNVS only placed their faith in their new owner. Whether she soared to the stars or crashed from the sky, they could only weather the storm with her. It was not the first time that someone challenged Monarch; not even the previous attempts of Pearce Empire punched through the barrier Monarch had created to preserve itself.Unlike what they thought, Andrea still proceeded with their own commercial and collection launch. Even if Snow Promises – Forever already launched with a snob effect, VNVS’s Cosmic Promises would still enter the market just the same. However, what she first called Fantasy was renamed to Conviction as if sending a message.Moreover, the narrative of the advertisement had changed. The modest and elegant approach was changed into a more radical impact, one of a bird forcing her wings to spread, so she could touch the s

When Andrea followed him into the hallway, he dragged her to the fire escape to receive the call. He wrapped an arm around Andrea’s neck and held her against him as if her soft body would calm him down… or remind him not to say something awful. With a deep breath Andrea took with him, Gryphon spoke: “Mom, is everything all right?”[“Aren’t you supposed to be in the company today? I came by to see you, but you’re not here. Did something happen to you?”] Gryphon sighed as he figured it was just one of her paranoid calls. Every time he was not in the place he should be, his mother would always ask. Sometimes, his dad would call, just so he could answer the wife where their precious son had gone.“I’m at VNVS. We watched the ad here in the conference room. I’m on my way back to the office.” Gr

Slap a bitch, huh? Gryphon hummed as he continued eating. He didn’t know if Andrea meant it that way, but he decided to say it, anyway. “My mom is vexing, but don’t slap her. She will not bother scheming; she will straight up murder you and get away with it.”“Murder?” Andrea dropped her smile for a frown. “Why would I—? Why do you think I would slap your mother? What if I just slap you instead? You’re annoying. Let’s just eat, so we can go home.”“You want to go home already?” The male chuckled before leaning on his palm. “Don’t you want to stay out longer? Actually, it won’t be staying out if we’re rooming in a hotel.”Andrea looked at him, and he casually sipped on his wine. His eyes shone differently as if

Low heels echoed along the hallways leading to the office of the owner, followed by a worn pair of leather shoes. The stout and short woman walked toward the door, soon knocking on the panel that was open with a gap. Rita, the team leader of the R&D, poked her in and saw Andrea making notes on a paper while looking at the design plate she had in front of her.Rita glanced at the man behind her, and she smiled at Gina when the secretary came to stand before them to welcome them inside. “Is there something wrong, ma’am? You called for me about an urgent matter?”“I also came in case it’s a big matter.” The director of Operations also walked in as if giving support to Rita in case it had something to do with their work.“Hm, I’m not really sure it isn’t.”

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 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
