SnitchesLuisa's POVHow come I didn't know he worked here? I'd never paid attention to the company's name itself, or was it a transfer? He looked so terrible, but I didn't feel even an ounce of pity for him. What was more shocking was the fact that he worked for my husband, the CEO himself.It was hilarious, I must admit.His pleas were so absurd. Now, I regretted telling the bodyguards to allow him to speak. He has further ruined everything with his last statement.Get back together? In his wildest dreams. I'd rather become a penguin than be with someone as useless as him again."Please, Luisa. You know you love me" He pleaded desperately. "I know you still do. You're just angry.""There you go again; making me feel like I was the obsessed one" I stated. "What you're asking for is beyond my capabilities. It's best you move on and find someone else to love you, or you stick to your assistant. She can satisfy you in bed, can't she?""It's you I want" Diego argued. "Unlike you, she's s
Testing her patienceAdrian's POV"You have five minutes to tell me the truth" I stated.Hmph... She thought she could hide it from me. I had already received a text from the bodyguards before she got here."Tch..." She clicked her tongue. "Fine. He's my ex-fiance.""Oh," I smiled mischievously, leaning my back against my seat. "Was he the man who made you force me into marriage?""I didn't force...." Luisa trailed off, her cheeks burning with anger."You want to say something?" I questioned with a teasing tone.Luis's inhaled sharply and snarled. "Can we not talk about that again? We've gone past that.""Nah... We haven't" I refuted. "It was never my intention to get married like this, so I'll always remember.""Fine. Suit yourself" She snapped and folded her arms."He's going to get fired" I declared nonchalantly."What?!" Luisa spat. "You can't do that."I raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Why? He caused commotion in my company, didn't he?"Luisa hesitated a bit before responding.
SpitefulLuisa's POVI was so furious that I didn't see the person coming my way until I bumped into something hard."Ouch!" I screamed in pain, ready to transfer my aggression to the person who was not at fault."Are you okay?" I heard a soft male voice say. It kind of reminded me of Adrian, which fueled my anger.I swatted his hands away and pushed him aside with the little strength I had. "Get out of my way."Surprisingly, he didn't stop me. I walked into the elevator and arrived at the first floor as soon as possible, but it seemed today was going to be quite dramatic.Guess who I met standing outside the elevator? It was Joyce, Diego's secretary.Initially, her face was etched with surprise. It instantly morphed into a look of contempt."Hello, Luisa. It's been a while" She greeted with her chin slightly raised. She thought she could intimidate me. One thing she wasn't aware of was the fact that I wasn't scared of anybody but myself.I didn't have friends, so I didn't feel entitl
BlackmailDiego's POV"Get your disgusting self out of my office!" Mr. Cruz barked, throwing the report at me.I raised my arm just in time to stop it from hitting me.I knew I needed to explain myself. I was at fault for not reviewing the reports before bringing them to his office. Joyce did me dirty."I'm sorry, Mr. Cruz. I can rectify the mistake before the end of today" I pleaded with caution."It's pointless" He snapped. "I've had enough of your incompetency. I'm submitting a report to the CEO himself. Wait till you hear from him, then you can beg all you want."Begging him further was a waste of time. I went to pick up the scattered papers on the ground, I stood upright and turned to leave.I got to the same spot where I had encountered Luisa earlier."Tch..." I gritted my teeth in rage. What happened then was the most embarrassing moment of my life. I had been carried like an animal and thrown on my butt before the employees on the first floor.It was a disgrace. I had to use m
A partner Luisa's POV"I did" Mr. Torres replied curtly."What?!" I exclaimed, my eyes widened in horror. "Why didn't you inform me about it first? I have the right to choose who I want to work with.""No, you don't" Mr. Torres rebuked, his face morphed into a frown. "I understand that your name was mentioned in the mail, but that doesn't mean you get to make the decision. I..."He paused, his frown deepening. "Wait a minute. How did you know about the endorsement deal? I haven't even told the CEO yet?""Huh... I...I heard some rumors" I stammered, scratching the back of my hair nervously. "I wasn't even sure the rumors were true until you confirmed it."An awkward silence reigned as Mr. Torres' piercing gaze lingered on me."Okay," He stated with a sigh. "Number one thing I need to correct here is that no employee has the right to state whether we accept a proposal or not. You could reject it, and another model will take it up. But think about it, Martinez Corporation owns the large
StepbrotherAdrian's POV"It's none of your business" I snapped, glaring hard at me. "Leave my office, George."George let out a throaty chuckle. "Come on, man. Why are you so worked up about it? I'm not done talking to you yet. I still have a piece of news from Mom for you. I'm just curious about the lady. Is she an employee?""No, she's not" I replied curtly, trying hard not to squeeze the papers in my grasp. "Say whatever it is you want to say and leave my office now.""Haha...well, that lady is drop-dead gorgeous" George laughed out. "I'll keep an eye out for her, just in case she comes back. If you're not going to tell me about her, I'll confront her myself.""Don't....." I trailed off, realizing I was revealing too much.I instantly regained composure and pretended not to care. The only thing I could do was make sure Luisa never got to have a conversation with him.He was carefree, jovial, and had a friendly personality that naturally drew people to him. It was these traits I wa
The NightmareLuisa's POV"You never listen to me" Christina yelled, her voice echoing off the water and her face etched with anger. "You always think you're right."I stood by the poolside, the dim light staring down at my skin as I stared at my beloved sister's angry face."Aren't you going to say anything?" She continued, her tone harsh and unrestrained. "You're one of the most sought-after TV personalities and models in the entertainment industry. Tell me what's stopping you from helping me climb the ranks. I can move up easily with you as my sister."It seemed my silence tipped her off. A mix of guilt and regret surged through my body, but my decision was final."I'm sorry, Christina, but if you want to make it in the entertainment industry, you'll have to work for it yourself; just like I did" I declared, taking a step towards her. "Let's not fight over this."I tried to reach out to her, but she swatted my hands away and took several steps backward."You're lying, Luisa" She sp
Caught in the actLuisa's POVI met a young lady sitting behind the receptionist's desk by the time I arrived at the company. She wasn't the same person I often see."Welcome, young lady. How can I help you?" She asked with a smile, her tone polite and firm."Is Mr. Sanchez in? I came to see him" I replied.She sized me up and inquired. "Do you have an appointment with him or is he expecting you?""No, he isn't" I replied, taking a deep breath. "You know, this isn't the first time I'm coming here to see him. I'm his fiancee."Her mouth widened in disbelief as she stared at me in shock."You're Luisa Fernanda, the model and TV personality everyone's talking about" She gasped in shock, giggling in excitement. "I'm so sorry. I didn't recognize you because of your sunglasses. You're welcome... We....""Can I see him now?" I asked, cutting her off.She nodded her head vigorously. "Definitely. I'm sorry for wasting your time. I'm sure you know where his office is or would you like me to sho

RegretsDiego's POV"Mr. Sanchez, the report you asked for is ready" Michelle stated the moment she walked into my office.I looked up to see her walking seductively as usual. Ever since Luisa ended things with me, she's been hellbent on finishing what we started, but the truth was, whatever I felt for her during those times was just pure lust.She wasn't even close to my type. Unfortunately, I had a high libido; I couldn't resist her. My life had never remained the same since Luisa left. I couldn't even do anything properly.I wanted her back. I just hadn't figured out a way to get to her. Wait. I could use.....A loud bang jolted me out of my thoughts and my eyes settled on Michelle, who had a deep frown on her face.I was furious. "Did you just bang your fist on my desk?"Michelle snorted in disgust and folded her arms with a challenging posture. Took me a lot of courage to take my eyes off her body figure."You've been spacing out lately. Is it because of that bitch?" She question
Chapter 9PrideLuisa's POV"Oh, no!" I exclaimed as my stomach grumbled for the umpteenth time.Thankfully, my manager had called to tell me he had left my apartment. I was relieved. His call had saved me the trouble of telling a lie.I rolled on the bed and punched the pillow to vent my anger. That silly man thought he could play me like a fool. I wanted to suck it up, but the worms in my stomach were uncooperative. I needed to snack on something, but my pride wouldn't let me leave the room, so I decided to get some sleep.A few minutes passed, and my eyes were still wide open. I lowered my so-called pride and jumped out of bed. I tried wearing my footwear but changed my mind instantly.I glanced at the wall clock and it was just five minutes past eight. I walked to the door and opened it, I peeped out to make sure no one was lurking around, before tiptoeing out of the room.Soon, I found myself at the dining table. It was already cleared up. The only option I had was to head to the
His territoryAdrian's POV"You're making a big mistake, you know" I let out a deep scowl."Nah... This is a golden opportunity for me" Ortega retorted nonchalantly. "I had my men keep an eye out for your assistant. That was how I got to know you were coming. It's so stupid of you to have come here alone.""Well, I guess you still have that mentality of you being the most powerful" He added."And what's wrong with that?" I berated. "I'm undeniably the most powerful.""Not for long. I'll be taking that title away from you tonight" Ortega declared with a frosty voice, his eyes narrowed. "Have your seat."I remained adamant but had to comply when his men cocked their guns. I needed to make him have a little taste of victory before turning the tables. That way seemed interesting.I crossed my legs on the sofa and smirked. "Now, tell me, Mr. Ortega, what do you want?"The man chuckled amusingly and stood up. He walked to a desk and picked up a document. He walked back to me and dropped it
