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

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

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

Sent to her graveRachael's POV"You bitch!!" Louis cursed furiously, banging his fist on the iron bar of the cell. "Find a way to get me out of here. I don't care about that spoilt brat you call a daughter; one more night in this cell and the company will crumble... I'm pretty sure you don't want to go back to the slum you came from."I shuddered, hearing his words. "But.. but the lawyer isn't responding" I stuttered, avoiding his disdainful eyes.Louis snorted. "Who cares? Lawyers aren't the only ones who can help. Find someone else. You can bribe the police officers."I swallowed hard. "But we need a huge amount of money for that. The company can't bear any outrageous cost at the moment. Our private accounts have also been frozen.""What?!" Louis spat in disbelief. "That old bastard went too far."Silence reigned as he seemed to be thinking of the next suggestion to make. Ever since I woke up on the hospital bed, I'd been running helter-skelter, looking for ways to get my family ou

Strange newsLuisa's POV"Of course not" I fired, swatting his hands away forcefully.I could tell my face was burning hot. I couldn't believe my outburst; it made me ask myself a weird question - was I jealous?No way!There was no way I was falling for him.Suddenly, I felt something hot brush against my skin."You seem lost in thoughts. Don't tell me you're confused" He whispered into my ears, causing me to freeze.It took me a few seconds to recover myself. I pushed him away and stumbled backward."Why does it have to be you in my head?" I snarled, my voice full of conviction. "I have other important things to talk about.""Oh?" He smirked playfully. "You know what? To prove your words, I want you to stand so close to me for five minutes."I was baffled. "What?!""Yeah, five minutes" He repeated his last two words. "If you can stand for that long without being affected by my charm, I'll be convinced that you feel nothing for me."What? Such a challenge was way beyond my imaginati

Her weaponAdrian's POVAn heir?Haha... So funny of me to make such demands from someone who still saw our marriage as a sham. I wanted to make things work, but I guessed I wasn't so good with romance.An heir? Sleeping together? All these were just demands I made out of the blue. Now, I have to flow with it. Funny for me, I couldn't stop myself from pulling her close. It was so strange that I found her attractive despite my strong aversion to many women.As for Valerie, she was a mistake I made when....."Let me go," Luisa said, struggling. My thoughts ended abruptly and my focus was now on her.I was so eager to test her patience."Or what?" I smirked.Her cute pout fueled something in me. I simply followed my instincts when I confirmed that we were so close to the bed. Without a second thought, I pinned her to the bed and planted a soft kiss on her lips.I waited for any form of resistance, but she seemed fine with it so I proceeded to the next phase. I deepened the kiss without p

Mixed feelingsLuisa's POVThe moment Valerie sauntered out of the house, I realized I was holding my breath. Somehow, I believed her words weren't mere threats. She was a danger in a human form.What was more shocking was the look of concern on Adrian's face. It was the same look I got at the hospital that made my heart skip a beat."Are you okay?" He asked with a softened voice, placing his right hand on my left cheek. "Did she harm you?"I shook my head slowly, taking a deep breath."You saw I was the one who hit her" I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. "I thought my safety was guaranteed in your territory.""It is, Luisa" Adrian assured. "I wasn't expecting her to get out of the asylum.""An asylum, huh?" I laughed wryly. "She's indeed a maniac."Adrian sighed deeply. "You'll be fine, I promise. As my wife, I must protect you.""Yeah, whatever" I rolled my eyes. "It's forced anyway. You didn't have to protect me twice. I don't have much to repay you."Adrian smirked. "Do

A huge threatAdrian's POV"You're wasting our time, Mr. Alvarez" Miguel voiced out sharply, his gaze fierce. "Make your choice now - sign those documents or leave this place to see your video all over the internet."The old man sighed deeply, wiping his sweaty face with the handkerchief in his hands."This is blackmail" He scowled."Who cares?" Miguel smirked. "This is strictly business, Mr. Alvarez. Every competitor would seize the opportunity to take down their rivals. This is just one of many events."Silence reigned for a moment. I simply sat, waiting for his decision. I had spoken; he was left to agree or decline, a choice that would decide his future and that of his family.Miguel was getting impatient. I was too, but my self-restraint was quite powerful."Think about it. You get to enjoy some benefits from us after a few years" Miguel added, and the old man banged his fist on the table."That's after a few years, damnit!" He roared. "What if I get to my grave before the time c

ApprehensionLuisa's POV"Madame, do you need something?" A male voice startled me.Immediately, the maids stopped what they were doing, and shifted their gazes to me. I tilted my head to see Charles standing before me with his questioning gaze fixed on me."Er... Well, I...." I drawled, sparing the two women a glance. "Came to get something to eat.""Is that so?" He probed, frowning.I swallowed the lump in my throat, looking around to avoid his gaze."Yes, isn't it time for dinner?" I asked, my voice softened.He sighed, checking his wristwatch. "Dinner is at 6pm, Madame. The time is just half past five; we still have thirty minutes left. The master will be coming to join us.""Huh...." I pouted in shock. Adrian was coming back today?I hadn't seen him since we last spoke at the hospital. I still needed to thank him for his help. Yes, I needed to make him know that I wasn't going to owe him anything."Madame, Madame...." Charles called repeatedly, snapping me out of my thoughts."Wh

Valerie's POV"You mean you let Dad sleep with another woman?" I queried, dumbfounded by just the thought of it.The two exchanged glances for the umpteenth time with somber expressions on their faces.Their actions infuriated me, most especially the gullible woman sitting next to my father."I'm talking to you, mother" I snapped, throwing her a hard glare.She pursed her lips and looked away. "It's none of your business. We did it to save our home.""Oh?" I snorted in laughter. "You call.....""Enough, Valerie" My father snarled, cutting me off. "Don't speak to your parents like that. You of all people do not have the right to question our decisions.""I see..." I nodded, my expression darkening. "I won't blame you since you never considered me as your daughter. I mean, who would want a crazy child who just spent the last five years of her life in an asylum? It's obvious you don't see me as your child anymore but as an outcast."Tears welled up in my eyes as I added. "But you did not

A high demandAdrian's POV"Big boss, I just saw something" Miguel voiced out as we walked into the company, his voice laced with a hint of fear.My curiosity was piqued. "What's that?"He inhaled sharply. "It's Valerie.""Who?" I probed, trying to understand why the name sounded so familiar.Miguel looked at me with a funny expression on his face. "Sir, don't tell me you've forgotten so quickly. The girl you sent to an asylum five years ago because she wore a pink dress to an all-black party?"It finally clicked. "Valerie Cruz?""Yes, Big boss. You got that right" Miguel confirmed.I sighed as memories came running back into my mind."What about her?" I asked coldly."She's been released" Miguel revealed, and I halted abruptly."What?!" I spat. "Who would dare release her without my permission?""I'm yet to figure that out, but she's out of the asylum right now as we speak" Miguel stated. "She should be with her parents."I scoffed in disgust. "Who let a crazy woman loose on the stre

A childValerie's POV"Madame, your parents are inside" My driver revealed, bowing as he opened the car.I snorted in laughter, flinging my long black hair. "That's their problem, Felix. We're going through the backdoor. I have no intention of having a conversation with them."Felix refused to move out of the way, his gaze hesitant.His actions fueled my irritation. "Out with it!""Your father said you must come to the living room the moment you step foot into his house" Felix replied, his voice laced with caution. "They're both waiting for you.""Tch..." I gritted my teeth in anger; angry with reality. It was their house, so I had to comply; coupled with the past drama before they tried to get rid of me.I ignored Felix and sauntered into the house. Everyone who saw me, including the maids, kept their distance but didn't fail to show respect. Honestly, I didn't care.My main goal for coming back was to dominate those who belittled me in the past; including that man.The two old peopl
