Seven-Million-Dollar Kiss

Gryphon was not the problem. Of course, he wasn’t. Andrea long knew that it was her poor decisions that made her life as it was now. When she decided to excel in life, she gave in to high school pressure and tried not to be so intimidating to get a boy. It was followed by how she fell in love with the state’s prince, the very same guy who broke up with her because she was a commoner.Then, just when she thought she should live a life for herself, she chose to be enslaved by Mathias. Right now, she was on the run for her life… landing back in the lap of the state prince. How laughable. If only Andrea didn’t think that her life was the only thing she had, she would have given it away as well.She only scrunched her face to downplay her pain and waved her hand to show her frustration at the man next to her. This Ashley was really Gryphon&r

My Wife will Decide

Even if Gryphon told her to sleep on it, Andrea’s mind was just too agitated when the design plate landed on her hands. She kept on thinking about the many more that she could come up with. Then again, she only had roughly three million to spend. Making another Winter Equinox right off the bat was not going to happen, no matter how much she prayed.In the end, Gryphon had to wake her up before he left for work. Andrea only swam in the bed and hugged the blanket. She rolled to where Gryphon slept that night, feeling the vanishing warmth that he had left on it. However, since he changed in that room, the scent of his body spray and perfume was still in the room. Even when he was long gone, she didn’t forget that he was once there.For some reason, she was too encumbered by her dreams that she ended up sleeping in that day. When she woke up, it was alr

Making a Perfect Wife

The awful stench of degradation suffocated Andrea’s mind so much that she was shocked to find how Gryphon handled the meeting with the old workers of this company. When she heard him speak, it was like she suddenly found herself in the company of another person. The way he carried himself and spoke was nothing close to the man-child that Andrea knew.It’s just that before she could question her reality, she heard the bit that Gryphon said. He brought his wife to decide… about keeping the workers? She then eyed the hopeful workers and the old owner that was anticipating a good answer from her.Andrea’s eyes widened as it slowly dawned upon her. Even if Gryphon kept on saying that she should be the one doing things, he would do the opposite and decide for her. Perhaps, it was because she didn’t know what to do. Even if she figured i

Good Future Ahead

Instead of what Grandeur expected, two women walked up to their company doors that mid-morning. One was a beautiful blonde that wore a peach business dress, while the other was a redhead with green eyes in a casual suit and a dark pencil skirt. The peach dress had wide white lapels that matched the rolled-up edge on her elbows. Likewise, the other’s blouse was just a darker and redder shade.Andrea had met with her designated secretary that used to work as an executive assistant in Gryphon’s office. The assistant known as Georgina Humphrey drove her to the company for their formal takeover. Since Mr. Grand was phoned in to come as well, he waited for them at the reception.“Good morning, Mr. Grand. Can we talk in your office about a few things?” Andrea decided to go with the sweet approach rather than trying hard to be a sophisticated an

You're My Wife Now, Not His Carpet Girl

For some reason, Andrea was allowed to work on the new watch in peace. Along with the marketing, the new watch from VNVS would have its first commercial aired. For four weeks, Andrea and Gryphon were quietly working on their own things. Even if it was very suspicious to Andrea, she was too busy to investigate other things that might ask for more attention than she could spare.Being a company owner was harder than she thought. She had made dozens of decisions already, and she had to always be in the company as if an intern to the CEO who was showing her the ropes. Gina made things easier for her, however. Just sign this and sign that; show up here, show up there. Then again, her head was still filled with all the overly complicated contract clauses.Today… marked the first problem that Leon called her for. It was even a big one out of nowhere.

My Promise, My Conviction

The workers of VNVS only placed their faith in their new owner. Whether she soared to the stars or crashed from the sky, they could only weather the storm with her. It was not the first time that someone challenged Monarch; not even the previous attempts of Pearce Empire punched through the barrier Monarch had created to preserve itself.Unlike what they thought, Andrea still proceeded with their own commercial and collection launch. Even if Snow Promises – Forever already launched with a snob effect, VNVS’s Cosmic Promises would still enter the market just the same. However, what she first called Fantasy was renamed to Conviction as if sending a message.Moreover, the narrative of the advertisement had changed. The modest and elegant approach was changed into a more radical impact, one of a bird forcing her wings to spread, so she could touch the s

Where She Should Have Been

When Andrea followed him into the hallway, he dragged her to the fire escape to receive the call. He wrapped an arm around Andrea’s neck and held her against him as if her soft body would calm him down… or remind him not to say something awful. With a deep breath Andrea took with him, Gryphon spoke: “Mom, is everything all right?”[“Aren’t you supposed to be in the company today? I came by to see you, but you’re not here. Did something happen to you?”] Gryphon sighed as he figured it was just one of her paranoid calls. Every time he was not in the place he should be, his mother would always ask. Sometimes, his dad would call, just so he could answer the wife where their precious son had gone.“I’m at VNVS. We watched the ad here in the conference room. I’m on my way back to the office.” Gr

A Poison for Mathias

Slap a bitch, huh? Gryphon hummed as he continued eating. He didn’t know if Andrea meant it that way, but he decided to say it, anyway. “My mom is vexing, but don’t slap her. She will not bother scheming; she will straight up murder you and get away with it.”“Murder?” Andrea dropped her smile for a frown. “Why would I—? Why do you think I would slap your mother? What if I just slap you instead? You’re annoying. Let’s just eat, so we can go home.”“You want to go home already?” The male chuckled before leaning on his palm. “Don’t you want to stay out longer? Actually, it won’t be staying out if we’re rooming in a hotel.”Andrea looked at him, and he casually sipped on his wine. His eyes shone differently as if

I Deserve Peace

Low heels echoed along the hallways leading to the office of the owner, followed by a worn pair of leather shoes. The stout and short woman walked toward the door, soon knocking on the panel that was open with a gap. Rita, the team leader of the R&D, poked her in and saw Andrea making notes on a paper while looking at the design plate she had in front of her.Rita glanced at the man behind her, and she smiled at Gina when the secretary came to stand before them to welcome them inside. “Is there something wrong, ma’am? You called for me about an urgent matter?”“I also came in case it’s a big matter.” The director of Operations also walked in as if giving support to Rita in case it had something to do with their work.“Hm, I’m not really sure it isn’t.”

Braving the Consequences

The charity ball could easily be mistaken as someone’s birthday party, with all the names that had come to attend. Not only would the Pearce family be there, but the other members of the socialites also confirmed their attendance. The media were all setting up their camps outside as the party was beyond closed doors like how it was as usual.When Andrea looked out of the hotel, she could see the lines of cars that queued to drop off the stars they carried. For some reason, Gryphon hated this part because a lot of lights would be flashing against his face. He would rather pose at the actual Moissanite red carpet as camera flashes were banned in there. A lot of people loved the flashing cameras, but Gryphon had become elusive because of them.The woman ran her hands on the smooth blonde hair that was decorated with real diamonds secured by thin chains that
