LiLhyzThank you for reading! The next chapter is tomorrow. Ladies, just to warn you, the novel is coming to an end this month. There are so many tennis tournaments all year round (I'm making up my own schedule, by the way. LOL), but the major ones are the Grand Slams. They grant up to 2000 points which can take a player up in the rankings with just one championship title. The minor tournaments give 250, 500, and few give1000 points.

Days passed. “Mia, it’s time for school!” Kate called from the living room, looking up the staircase. A week ago, Kate visited Mia at Alexander’s penthouse. She found Mia in her room, hugging her legs, blankly staring at the floor. It was then that she realized how lonely Mia felt, living alone in a huge penthouse, and she never admitted it. Since school started, Kate had been asking Mia to stay with her at the company every after school. Sometimes Mia would, but occasionally she insisted on going straight home, especially after tennis training. So when Kate found Mia in such a pitiful state, she brought her to their home instead. She insisted that Mia live with her whenever Alexander and Carlos were away on their tournaments. Back then, Kate claimed, “Let’s face it. We both are lonely when Alex and Carlos are away. Even if we speak to them on the phone daily, it’s just different. We should… stick together.” Seeing Mia walking down, Kate smiled. She urged, “Let’s go. Since we

“Savy! Nice game yesterday!” Kate called, seeing Savannah join them in the VIP seats. “Yes, it was. I shocked Alina!” Savannah admitted. She lost the championships for the women’s singles, but that did not bother her. Months ago, going against Alina was just a dream. Yesterday, it became a reality, thanks to her new coaches, in the form of Alexander and Carlos. Savannah was still starting to climb up the top rankings, and she was not in a hurry to earn her first Grand Slam title. Either way, her ranking was already soaring at a steady rate. “Savy! Miss you!” Mia called, embracing Savannah outright. “I miss you too, Mia. I’m glad you both made it on time,” Savannah said. Because there was a problem with the runway at Braeton, Kate and Mia left the city six hours late. As a result, they arrived earlier that day instead of the night before. They no longer had the time to wish Carlos and Alexander good luck in person. “We would not miss this for the world,” Kate claimed. “I was ab

“Sales are off the roof, especially coming from our VIP clients, where, since we started the membership program, have grown in ten folds! Now, we have thirty-eight thousand VIP members who frequently buy products of RonaldoPlus,” Kate reported in front of the audience. “With our swimwear product line introduced, more and more customers have reached out to get a hold of their very first RonaldoPlus bathing suits and trunks. As of today, we have billboards and magazines featuring our new products. By next week, we are ready to release them to the prevailing public, and I expect more sales to come in, for the Diamond Hotels, across the country, in Asia and Europe, will also open a small RonaldoPlus boutique." “Ladies and gentlemen, we are still new to the business.” Kate smiled at her family. She resumed, “But through the Diamond hotels, we will officially go global..." "Our company has reached more than a million dollars, net profit, amidst the premature local expansion due to SWEAT I

“Will it be another win for the Devil’s team? Yesterday, during the female championship game, Savannah Knight took us by surprise by claiming the US Open title for the women’s singles,” reported the sports commentator. “It was unfortunate that Alexander Jenkins came face to face with Erik Berg at the earlier stage of the competition, but when too many of the top players are in the same Grand Slam, it is bound to happen.” “Finally, one of the most awaited match returned to every tennis enthusiast. It had been more than a year since Carlos and Erik fought for the same Grand Slam title. After Wimbledon, Carlos took back his number one rank, but Erik has been attending minor back-to-back tournaments that also granted him points.” “They are neck to neck. Will The Devil take back his winning streak over the US Open? Or will Erik be the new champion and reclaim his number one ranking?” “We will find out. Our tennis players have now stepped out into the court. Good luck to both The Devil an

Months passed. “Happy Holidays!” Kate greeted Savannah while on a video chat. “Hey, Alex? Merry Christmas. What’s wrong with you?” It was the Wrights’ favorite event of the year. Kate and Carlos celebrated it with the family. Whereas Savannah and Alexander, together with Mia, spent their holidays in Ireland on Kean’s farm. “Alex got injured,” Savannah reported with a sneer. “What?” Carlos and Kate nearly said simultaneously, both frowning in front of the screen of Kate's mobile. “He was trying to prove to grandpa that he could birth a cow. Well, he angered mother cow and was.” With a short pause, Savannah described, “He was… kicked in the groin and on his leg.” Carlos gulped. Kate’s eyes widened. On the screen, they saw how Alexander had a full frown on his face, sitting on a couch behind Savannah. He reported, “I don’t think I can play for the Australian Open. And don’t fucking say a word about how I got injured by a cow.” Carlos and Kate tried to hold back their laughter

“Carlos?” Kate asked. “I know I agreed to see you during every championship game, but -” “Take as much rest as you need,” Carlos suggested. “I’m going away, happy, contented, and inspired, knowing that when I return, I have a wife and a child to go home to.” Carlos sighed, thinking about his schedule. He declared, “Kate, I only have three weeks before I leave again for the Australian Open. I will spoil you every minute while I am here.” The Devil was true to his words. Every after his tennis practice, he spent the rest of his daily hours preparing Kate’s meals, walking her to the bathroom, massaging her feet, buying in advance all the pregnancy care his wife would need, and in just about everything, Carlos was being overprotective of his wife. He refused to let Kate work during the first trimester. While the doctor did not order the same, he and Kate were careful this time. A day before Carlos would leave, Kate was sitting on their bed, checking her emails, when her husband walk

“Talk about over moisturizing,” Kate remarked as Carlos repeatedly put lotion on her stomach. Carlos’s smile reached his ears while sometimes speaking to Kate’s belly. “Hello, baby. Daddy’s home. I miss you and mommy so much.” Carlos’s happiness seemed endless, but soon, a hint of sadness washed over him. He looked up at Kate and revealed, “The competition is moving up faster than I expected.” “Oh,” Kate reacted, her heart aching with the news. “I’ll be here for six weeks, practicing with Alex. Then I’ll be leaving again for Wimbledon,” Carlos reminded. “On the bright side, I am no longer required to join minor tournaments after Europe, so I can stay until the US Open.” Kate’s smile returned. She uttered, “I think that’s great. You’ll be here when our baby is bigger. I heard that is the most trying time for me.” Lifting his brow, Carlos asked, “How so?” “I remember Gaby whining about not being able to… put on her socks and bending,” Kate revealed, encouraging laughter from th

“Out!” The umpire announced. The Wimbledon finals had stretched to the fourth set, with Carlos leading by two sets. Carlos was still in the lead in the fourth set, and the potential championship point was in question. The referee called the ball out while The Devil’s fans doubted the findings. Carlos had hit the ball a little higher, and while the referee thought it was out, the crowd called it in. Claims from the audience came roaring. “It was in!” “The Devil wins!” "We saw it! The ball was in!" Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the LED screen, where the Hawkeye system would replay where the ball landed. When the cameras reflected how the ball went in, the audience screamed! Carlos felt his skin crawl with the way his fans yelped their happiness and cheers. “And this year’s Wimbledon champion is Carlos Ronaldo, The Devil!” The Devil moved closer to the net and shook hands with Roger Murray. He complimented, “Great game.” “Don’t be so thankful yet, Ronaldo. I want a comeback.

Years passed. “Let’s welcome back the former number one players on the court, Carlos Ronaldo, The Devil, and Alexander Jenkins!” A year after Alexander retired from his tennis career, the two former star athletes were invited for an appearance match at The National Tennis Center Complex, sponsored by a famous sports drink. The stadium was filled with the Devil’s fans, including Alexander’s. It may only be an appearance match, but they missed their favorite tennis stars dearly. “Devil!” “Devil!” “Alex!” “Devil!” “Alex!” “I miss you all!” Alexander claimed, waving his hands. Carlos also waved at his supporters, then he turned to his family and blew them a kiss. Kate and the children stood in the VIP seats with Savannah and her own kids. The Devil and Alexander took their respective side of the courts and shook hands. Carlos said, “Good luck.” “I could say the same to you, my friend. I won’t hold back,” Alexander claimed. A chuckle escaped Carlos' lips. He replied, “No
The Devil's Love For The Heiress Chapter 122: Sami Amari Ronaldo
One year and a little over seven months passed. Castle backdrops surrounded the grand ballroom of the Third Diamond Hotel, where each side was made to appear like stone walls in medieval times. Arch windows were painted on the same backdrops, and royal guards stood in between white columns. At the front, royal seats were prepared for three; a king, a queen, and of their small little princess. Above them, the ceiling was decorated with hanging candlesticks and huge chandeliers. That day was Sami Amari Ronaldo’s first birthday, and the Ronaldo couple had a princess-themed party for their only daughter. The sound of trumpets altered all the visitors. On the left side of the venue, the Jenkins snapped their heads, their eyes gleaming at the soon arrival of Carlos’ and Kate’s princess. They brought Saoirse with them and their son Spencer. The Knights were also invited to the event, which allowed Savannah’s parents to have a short vacation and a chance to visit their grandkids. “Hi

Kate caressed her body as she rested her back on the side of the jacuzzi tub. She delighted in that cucumber melon bath scent, which she surprisingly loved. It had been half an hour since she had soaked herself under the tub. When she knew the scent would already linger on her skin, she got up and dried herself. Walking out of the bathroom, completely naked, Kate found Carlos looking out into the sea, his bare and well-defined back facing her, his tight ass inviting her to grab it. “Carlos,” she called. A hint of sultriness exuded in her voice. She climbed up the bed, flashing her white and silky smooth two-round flesh before laying down sideways, giving The Devil a good view of her crack. A hiss left Carlos’ lips as he turned. He wound up palming himself, checking his hardness as he walked over to the side of the bed. He held pieces of black cloth and declared, “Today, I want to take full control.” Kate did not know what he meant. She simply allowed him to do whatever he pleas

“Hwuah! Hwuah!” The sound of a baby’s cry echoed throughout the delivery room, and just like her first delivery, tears stung Kate’s eyes. “Baby boy Ronaldo is out,” announced the doctor. The crying baby was placed in Kate’s chest for her and The Devil to cherish. “Ah, what an angry little one,” Carlos said, seeing how Andre wasn’t hushing down his cries. The time came and went. At thirty-eight weeks, Kate delivered her second son, Andre Pete Ronaldo. “Congratulations on having a healthy baby boy, Mister, and Misses Ronaldo.” The couple relished seconds of caressing Andre’s head before Carlos indicated, “I am happy with our two sons, Kate, but… we should still keep trying. Who knows, we’ll have a mini-Kate.” Kate nodded, saying, “There is no harm in trying.” She gazed at her son, mesmerized. She studied his cute lips, saying, “I love you, baby!” “And daddy loves you, Andre,” Carlos echoed. It was another year to celebrate as The Devil maintained his number one ranking. He

Months passed. “Till this very day, Carlos Ronaldo is still number one and had been consistent for 426 days, more than 60 weeks, and counting. The Devil had claimed both the Wimbledon and the US Open. Erik Berg is still behind him, and Alexander Jenkins is next. Roger Murray fell to the 4th rank after the US Open.” “How long will the Devil be on top? With his growing business, until when will The Devil keep playing?” On a Sunday, Kate and Carlos were watching the national TV recorded news from within their home's living room. After the reporter’s initial statements, The Devil answered an interview. On the monitor, Carlos could be seen walking out of a tennis training camp in New York. He said in front of the camera, “I will still keep playing, but I’ll be on court on and off. If fate would have me to remain number one for a longer time, then that is a blessing, and I am happy to take that role and be a model to many tennis aspirants out there.” “However, I am not pressuring myself
The Devil's Love For The Heiress Chapter 118: Irish Wedding
"Alexander and Savannah, have you come here of your own free will and without a compulsion to marry each other?” the officiant asked. Immediately, Alexander and Savannah said together, “Yes.” “You may kiss the bride.” Applause could be heard at the wedding, held in the countryside of Savannah’s hometown. The wedding was celebrated in front of a historical castle in Tipperary. Tables and chairs were spread across the green lawns surrounding the castle. Tents covered the guests from the sun. Steel frames rose to twenty-feet high, decorated with various purple and white blooms. Everyone in the Wright family attended the Irish wedding. Samantha and Ethan were present. Carlos and Kate came with Manuel, Kaleb brought his son, Liam, Kyle and Gaby made a side trip from Freedonia to Ireland, and Kenzie came with her husband, Andrew. A trip to the countryside of Ireland was not something they would miss. The views were just breathtaking. The mountain and greenery slopes could widely be

Kate and Carlos watched as Kyle held Manuel’s legs up, and cleaned his dirt. They observed how the CEO of the Wright Diamond Corporation turned Manuel’s delicate frame, gentry, from side to side to clothe him with his top. After effectively pulling up the baby’s pants, Kyle claimed, “See! It’s easy! Like a walk in the park." “That was very fast,” Carlos had to admit. “I’m a natural at caring for babies,” Kyle claimed. A confident grin formed on his face, adding, “It also comes with experience.” Kate looked past her brother and saw Gaby giggling while carrying her one-year-old daughter, Gale. She wasn’t sure what to believe, but, nonetheless, they were thankful for Kyle’s help, showing his best technique to change an infant. “Let me hold my nephew for a while,” Kyle asked, carrying Manuel from the stroller. “You carry him like this. Listen to your older brother now.” “What about my style? Do you want to see how I change my nephew?” This time around, Kaleb offered. "No. No, he i

Scoreboard:Ronaldo: 6, 6, 5Murray: 4, 4, 4 In the third set, Carlos was ahead by five games, and in the final game, he was leading by a point. “Thirty, fifteen,” the umpire announced the scores. Carlos’ face was red from all the running he had done. He was chasing his breath as he bounced the ball against the hard court, ready to serve. He had been giving his finest, not letting Roger Murray score a set. After he thrust up the ball, he hit it with his racket. “Out!” Letting out a sigh, Carlos was relieved he still had a second try to serve the ball correctly. After serving it again, Roger ran to the far right of his court and returned the ball. Carlos quickie volleyed it back, and Roger missed another point. “Forty, fifteen, championship point.” Ready to serve, Carlos pecked his pendant. He wiped the sweat off his face with his wristband and threw the ball up in the air. Carlos served once and twice, but he hit the net in both instances. The crowd was barking, both angry
