Kate strove to breathe, feeling Carlos’ weight on top of her. She groaned while opening her eyes. Her hands unwittingly pushed Carlos’ frame upward. “Carlos,” she said under her breath. “You are so heavy.” Carlos and Kate were skin to skin, with The Devil above her, butt-naked from their last round of lovemaking. He fell asleep on top of her, out of exhaustion. Hearing her complain, he hummed and slightly carried his weight. His sleepy grey eyes met Kate, and he smiled at the recognition of her beautiful face. He squirmed his hips against her pelvic area, greeting, “You are so beautiful. Good morning, my Kate." “You are a sight for sore eyes,” Kate responded in a whisper. She caressed his face, her hands tracing his chiseled jaws until her touch landed on his chest. “I love you,” Carlos said before moving his hips. Kate gasped at the realization that he was still inside her from their last round of lovemaking. She asked, “Is that? You are hard again?” “Hmmm,” Carlos sealed h

Kate had her entire team, including a web developer, in the main conference room, preparing for the afternoon presentation. She checked each slide of the PowerPoint, making sure there were no mistakes. Then, after, she went through their official social media pages and website. She tested the customer service page and the chat boxes, and she checked if each site had a mobile view. From time to time, she would have last-minute instructions for her team, including some changes to the presentation and the website layout. At that point, everyone was scrambling to accomplish Kate’s added task that morning. While all this was happening, Lindsey, Kate’s marketing associate, stepped outside to fetch herself a cup of coffee. Molly was standing outside the conference room, observing. “You know, you guys would not be in a panic mode if your boss showed up for work yesterday,” Molly remarked, her arms crossed against her chest. Lindsey glanced at the glass wall of the conference room befor

“They are here,” Catrina announced. She pointed to Kate and said, “get ready, Kate.” Looking at those who were present in the room, Catrina warned, “Be at your best. Our superstar bosses are here.” Hearing the arrival of Alexander and Carlos, Kate nodded, suggesting she was ready. In one of the seats, however, Molly smirked. She sat next to Raffa and then whispered to him, “Are you ready for a good show, Raffa?” “What show?” Raffa inquired back, curious. “Just watch and enjoy,” Molly said with a mischievous grin. Kate sat at the frontmost of the table, with Lindsey as her presentation navigator. She smiled, secretly excited about Carlos’ arrival. Although they slept on the same bed, Kate still longed for him. Perhaps it was the distance and that he was away most days of their newly made relationship that she could not get enough of him. While she was looking forward to their meeting, Kate understood how she and Carlos would still keep their relationship a secret. There was

“Kate! Is my girlfriend!” Carlos’ forbidding tone gave everyone in the room chills down their spine. Blood drained from Molly’s face, and she felt her knees turn weak. She looked around, hoping for her colleagues to spell it out for her, but they were all equally taken aback by the revelation. Stuttering, Molly clarified, “Whaat?” “You heard me! Kate is my girlfriend. There is no Hailey because Hailey and I were never in a relationship! It had always been Kate! She is my Kate, the one and only,” Carlos disclosed. His forehead creased as he instructed Arman, “Check the surveillance cameras. Find out who made this video. It’s evident it was meant to humiliate my Kate!” “Clearly,” Alexander remarked from his seat, his arms folding against his chest. “And to whoever did this, the joke is on you!” Carlos announced. While he may have acted to look around, his eyes thinned in Molly’s direction. “Carlos. It’s fine,” Kate tried to soothe him down, but The Devil's blood was boiling. He m

While everybody in the room signed a new confidentiality agreement, Carlos, Alexander, and Kate stood at the front. “It is no secret that Alex and I were involved in the recent police entrapment operation in France, putting a stop to the sports gambling corruption, and with that came risks to our lives - mine and Alex, including those who are connected to us,” Carlos explained. “It was the reason Kate and I kept our relationship a secret,” The Devil added. “Thus, you must understand how talking about me, my whereabouts, and about Kate will put everyone’s life at risk.” “Yes. That includes everyone here in this room,” Carlos suggested. “So this new contract is not just to bind you legally from talking about us; it will also be your protection.” “Again, we are really sorry for not being upfront with you.” This time, Kate spoke. “But we had our reasons.” She shrugged, revealing, “Even Carlos kept many things from me at the start to protect me.” “Does everyone understand?” Carlos as

No. They did not come to an agreement while at the office. Even after arriving at Carlos’ home, Kate was still firm with her decision not to let Savannah model with Carlos. Entering Carlos’ bedroom, Kate repeated, “No. I don’t want to.” “What is about Savannah that you dislike so much? I told you, she is a friend,” Carlos insisted. He sighed before taking off his coat and settling it on the bedside table. When he returned his regard to Kate, she was still fuming, her arms against her chest. He asked, “Kate?” Carlos was already unbuttoning his shirt when he walked over to the other side of the bed and sat. He held Kate by the waist and pulled her frame, his arms quickly wrapped around her. After savoring her sweet scent, he requested, “Tell me, my Kate. Tell me.” The Devil felt Kate’s chest dramatically rise. After she let out a sigh, she said, “Because.” When Carlos looked up, Kate was searching on her phone. After she turned her mobile to him, a grin formed on his face. His Ka

Over the past two days, Alexander had sent Savannah text messages, but she never replied. He tried calling her two times, but he could not reach her. The strange thing was how Carlos could contact Savannah on one call. ‘She is avoiding me,’ Alexander thought, and he could tell by the way she was uncomfortable with his touch. He could see the objection in her eyes, unable to perform in a simple modeling job when, in fact, she already had experience. “I think it’s better if their noses touch. It’s more intimate. A romantic kiss would certainly be nice, too!" Following Kate’s suggestion, Savannah paled. “Please, Savannah,” Kate pleaded. “We wanted to show photos that have real emotions.” Kate looked at Carlos, who was seated next to her, and he confirmed, “Yes, Savannah. You are good at this, right? That’s why I hired you. Is there a problem? I thought you and Alex are good?” “Yes,” If Savannah was displeased, she masked it quickly, erasing her earlier reaction. She replied, “I’m

“Your flight was not until tomorrow. I was hoping we could have a proper talk before you left,” Alexander said while closing in on Savannah. “How - how did you even find my place? And you flew all the way here?” Savannah asked in bewilderment. Giving his head a light scratch, Alexander replied, “Well, you have your address on the contract, and this residential building is rather easy to find.” Savannah was rendered speechless. Her mouth remained parted for seconds before she found the words to say, “You came all the way here to talk? A phone call would have done it.” “Except, you don’t answer my calls,” Alexander pointed out. “It’s obvious that you are avoiding me. You left without even saying goodbye! So, I came here to have that proper talk with you. Besides, consider this a pit stop for the Wimbledon Championships.” “You are overthinking it,” Savannah denied while she peered at her door as if planning her escape. “I’m drained, Alex. You did not have to come here for a talk. W

The Devil's Love For The Heiress Chapter 123: My Best Friend And Wife, I Love You - The End
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
The Devil's Love For The Heiress Chapter 120: Andre Pete Ronaldo
“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
