2024-10-29 19:42:56Even if Moissanite Hotel was already fully decorated for the yuletide season, their biggest function hall was still gearing up for another big event that the owner was looking forward to most of the year. She was supervising the items herself, double-checking and triple-checking everything that was being put on site. She even had her little stamp to make sure no one was to touch the inspected items.
Today was Andrea’s birthday, and Sammy didn’t want a repeat of what happened at her wedding.
Along with her were the eagle eyes of the mother-in-law. Parker was watching everyone as they worked on the event hall, making sure to see the slightest movement of even the least suspicious person. Every new worker and the part-timers were screened thoroughly.
As for the birthday girl, Andrea was only sitting on a ch

Field day… It was a field day for the media people waiting outside the function rooms for anything interesting. After all, they were all waiting for the guests coming and those who would show up very late to the party. However, lo and behold, what they caught in action was nothing anyone in their ranks would imagine happening on this very day.Roxanne Cromwell, a prominent name in their city, was arrested for possession with the intent to sell. She was caught keeping the supply inside one place that no one would suspect as her transaction place. When she was brought to the lobby, she was hiding underneath a police officer’s jacket. She didn’t want to be arrested while wearing almost nothing, but she was not allowed to take minutes to get clothed.Then again, the police were sensible about this. They kept the cameras off her as much as they co
The Billionaire's Pretend Darling Another Aftermath of You
Ring! Ring! The phone kept on ringing on the nightstand. Ashley could only stare at it, knowing that Gryphon would be exploding at that very time. However, he refused to answer. Not only was it because Andrea was indeed sleeping on one side of the bed, but Ashley also heard what happened that night. He could only imagine the kind of twist it looked to Gryphon.Not that Gryphon was intending to make it look like Andrea was wrong, but Ashley knew that a part of Gryphon was too dumb to realize what really happened. That was even the part in charge of holding a relationship together.He then turned to see how Andrea slept soundly next to him. She cried silently the whole time she was there, so it was a relief to find her asleep. They could only address the heartbreak tomorrow morning. As for the man who wouldn’t let Ashley go to sleep, however…
The Billionaire's Pretend Darling Waiting for You, Miss Winters
The sunlight she saw when she left the Dawson Villa already ran out. Her eyes were now looking out the darkening night sky that slowly descended into the city. In a few more minutes, the whole place would be completely devoured by it. However, Andrea didn’t mind; her world already succumbed to the abyss, and all that was left were bittersweet memories.Soon enough, Andrea got off her stop. She took the pre-packed luggage for her and walked around to the apartment that should belong to her for a few weeks. Along with it came a new name and identity that she should get used to.Her hair was hidden underneath a beanie that had fake hair framing her face. She had a facemask on, simulating a sickness that kept people from getting too close. Her eyes were also obscured by fashion glasses that looked like prescription ones. The shapely body was also hidden under
The Billionaire's Pretend Darling Gratitude and Tenacity
No one knew how; no one knew why. Four years had passed since the people had last seen Gryphon Pearce in public, as well as his wife, Andrea Archer-Pearce. The last time for the latter was at her birthday party, while Gryphon showed up at their company's New Year Party before disappearing. However, Pearce Empire kept on adhering to the CEO, and VNVS still recognized Andrea as the owner.Nothing virtually changed, but the itchy people just missed the kind of mess those two could have given the world. If this kept up, soon, everyone would forget their beautiful faces.The door creaked as it opened, the person entering annoyed by the sound it made. However, the owner of the room didn’t get it fixed since he didn’t want to be surprised by anyone entering his inner office. It didn’t help that even other executives find the thing unbecoming of such

“Gabby! Gabby, wake up!”She roused into the sound of a male voice, but the sound that she thought it had wasn’t the one that continued to ring out. Andrea opened her eyes and saw an older man looking down at her. An older woman was at her side, seemingly paler even if she had a tan complexion.After staring at them for a few seconds, Andrea began to remember where she was supposed to be and how she found herself there. She sat up and held her head with a hand, raking her fingers through the digitally permed dark-brown dyed hair that only reached her chin. When she brought her hand down, she smiled at the two people with her.“Thank you, Tommy, Marlene. I really appreciate you helping me tonight.” Andrea then looked down at herself. She was still wearing her work apron that had a hand-s
The Billionaire's Pretend Darling Mommy, Do I Have a Daddy? (2)
She remembered being so cold; then, she suddenly felt very hot. Charlotte didn’t know what happened next, but when she opened her eyes, she found herself in a spacious room. She was on a big bed, and everything else was white. There was a wristband on her slender arm, and she was only wearing the shirt she had underneath her sweater.“Mommy?” Charlotte called out, but there was no movement in the spacious room. She turned to the side and saw that the lounge-looking area was still undisturbed. No one had gone there to find her; her mommy had not gone to look for her.“Mommy?” She called out louder as she left the bed. Her soles hit the floor, and she immediately thought of looking for her slippers. Her mommy said she should always take care of her feet. There was a pair waiting at the side, so Charlotte took them before heading outs
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

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
