Chapter 152

Joyce's POVThree days had passed since the new week began, but I hadn't set my eyes on Adrian during those three days. I had only received an email stating his need for a week's leave. Initially, I was stunned by his actions but later came to realize what the reason for such actions could be.The mere thought of him trying to avoid me made me uncomfortable. Burying my head deep into my work was the only solution I could think of to get him off my mind.The plans for Santoria Industries' anniversary celebration had been kicked into motion. Invitation cards had been sent out to several business partners all around Spain. Although Adrian demanded that he handle some guests, I handled most of them.Even the social media handles couldn't stop mentioning it. Some probably wanted Adrian to attend their interview, but I doubted that would happen if it was the man I knew.The anniversary was in less than three weeks, and the company's employees were all busy.Thankfully, I didn't feel lonely

Chapter 153

Natalia's POVFour days had passed since I was discharged from the hospital. Gabriel had practically been by my side during those days, ensuring I had everything I craved and was comfortable.I wasn't feeling any more pain and wanted to take a walk outside the mansion. When I informed Gabriel about it, he seemed a bit reluctant but had to consent since he had already agreed to let me do things my way.Now, I was standing in front of the mirror, making sure my dress was good and the paleness on my face was well hidden.The creaking of the door drew my attention. I turned and saw Gabriel walk in."Where are you going to?" he asked, frowning."We already talked about this. I need a breath of fresh air," I whined, controlling my urge to roll my eyes.I could see the reluctance in his eyes, but he held his tongue and walked out of the room.I picked up my purse and took one last look in the mirror before leaving the room. Since I was leaving the house with Gabriel's permission, I drove one

Chapter 154

Adrian's POV"¡Hola, colega! ¿Cómo estás?" We should go check out the Imperial Hall," Miguel advised. "You know how demanding you can be when it comes to perfection.""Yeah, we should." I nodded in agreement.It's been six days since I last visited the office and three days since my mother traveled on vacation. Miguel and I had been so occupied with preparations for the upcoming anniversary celebration in two weeks.I built and commissioned Santoria Imperial Hall six years ago. It was only used for top events like this, and we never lent or lease it to anybody.The event planners we hired were from Spain's top event planning company. Although Miguel was skeptical about leaving everything to them, I had no problem with it. However, I could be very hard to pacify when a job was not done perfectly and to my satisfaction.Miguel and I left the penthouse and headed straight to the garage. After some deliberation, we decided to take Miguel's car and let him drive.We arrived at the hall an

Chapter 155

Madrileno's POV The entire study room was engulfed in smoke as I sat behind my desk, puffing on a cigarette in my hands. It had burnt down to my fingers, but the pain of the burn was nothing compared to the pain I was feeling in my heart. I hadn't stopped thinking about my encounter with Natalia revealing the death of my unborn child. Initially, I thought it was just a tasteless joke; as Natalia just being Natalia and seeking some kind of sick reaction and attention from me. Being with Natalia for a certain period helped me know when she was telling the truth or just fooling around. That sharp glint in her eyes always gave her away, and when she pushed the medical report to me, that glint was unmistakable. It had easily given her away and confirmed what she had said to be the truth. It had been tough to accept the bitter truth, but I had no choice. I had reacted out of impulse, but I had to go on with it because I needed the truth. The moment she revealed who was responsible for

Chapter 156

Adrian's POVIt was a Monday morning. There was now a week left to the anniversary celebration, and the new week would be busy for the employees. When I realized how strenuous the task would be for Joyce, I realized working remotely was out of the question.I buttoned up my suit jacket, picked up my briefcase case, and went to the dining room. As usual, breakfast was already waiting for me. I had just a slice of bread and scrambled eggs before leaving.James and I sat in silence as he drove me to the office, after which he took permission to see his sick wife at the hospital."I sighed as my heart swelled with pride at the tall, magnificent towering structure standing before me for a moment, marveling at its grandeur, then I walked confidently toward the grand entrance.""Good morning, sir," the staff greeted as usual, to which I nodded in response.The flash of an image caught me off guard, and I found my steps gradually slowing.Joyce; it had been a week since I'd last spoken to he

Chapter 157

Joyce's POVGod knew how desperate I was, trying to avoid dropping my cold facade before Adrian. His presence alone was unbearable for me. I badly wanted to dive into his embrace, but I couldn't dare to lower my pride before him.Truthfully, my heart leaped for Joy when he demanded that I follow him to the Imperial Hall. Even the idea of having lunch with him made me feel deeply satisfied, but the conversation that followed utterly ruined my mood.I badly wanted to ask him what took him so long to ask about his son. Instead, I unconsciously gave him the go-ahead to come see him. It would be unfair of me to keep Rafael away from his father.Our conversation ended the moment our lunch arrived. I noticed him fidgeting with his cutleries. It seemed he had something to say."Joyce," he finally called, making me pause midair with the fork in my hand, and I lifted my head to look at him."Yes?" I replied."The anniversary celebration is in less than a week," Adrian began. I need a female par

Chapter 158Natalia's POV"Be grateful he didn't kill you," Christina had said the night I last saw her. "Still, you shouldn't have told him the truth. You should have stood your ground."I had been furious with her and had yelled. "Are you blind? Can't you see the red marks on my neck? He almost killed me!""I understand, but what if he does something stupid to you or Gabriel?" Christina had questioned.I brushed her off, saying, "He can't. Gabriel isn't a man to be trifled with, and Madrileno knows that better than anyone.""Fine. I can't argue with you anymore," Christina exclaimed. Assume whatever you want. Just be careful.""I will, I affirmed.The sound of running water brought me back from my reverie. Gabriel was taking his shower. He had mentioned he wanted to speak to me about something important before leaving for the company. He was deliberately taking his time to put unnecessary pressure on me.I refused to take the bait and sat on the bed patiently, my thoughts drifting a

Chapter 159

Joyce's POVAfter many preparations, the long-awaited day of Santoria Industries' tenth-anniversary celebration was here. I was so excited that I got out of bed early, even though the party was commencing in the evening.I had already informed Christie beforehand so she would spend the night at my house. My phone suddenly buzzed. I picked it up from the bedside table and opened it; it was a text message from Adrian.Adrian: Good morning, mi amor. The makeup artist, hair stylist, and fashion designer will be coming to help you get ready.I jumped up in excitement as I texted back.Me: Alright. Thank you.Adrian: ???Me: What?Adrian: Is that all?I found his question quite strange and typed back.Me: Yes.I tossed the phone on the bed and ran into the bathroom, almost slipping, thanks to the door I held on to for support.I was done freshening up in less than thirty minutes. I wore loose-fit trousers and a crop top. I packed my hair in a ponytail and walked out of the room.To my utterm

Chapter 160

Adrian's POV"I wonder if she's ready," I muttered to no one in particular, my eyes fixed on my phone, hoping it'll light up with a message from Joyce.I was so upset when she gave me a formal response that morning. She hadn't even opened the text I recently sent her, which worried me.A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. I answered, and the door creaked open."Master, Mr. Daniel has arrived," Sebastian announced, his head bowed slightly.I could see his image reflecting in the mirror before me, so I didn't bother turning to face him."Tell him to wait in the living room. I'll join him soon," I ordered, adding after a second thought. "Tell the maid to get me a glass of red wine."When Sebastian left, I adjusted my collar, admiring myself in the mirror. "Mirror mirror on the wall...ooouh you already know. I'm turning heads today as always," I muttered to myself. I wasn't one of the most eligible bachelors for nothing. I looked dashing. I smirked, satisfied with my appearance, a

Chapter 161

Joyce's POV"What a goddess!" William gasped in shock, his widened eyes fixed on me as I stood before the mirror while the apprentice adjusted the waistline. "La vista me ha dejado sin palabras."I had to admit it had been a while since I had admired myself for this long. The blue evening gown hugged and accentuated my hourglass physique. The dress had a slit from my right mid-thigh all the way down.The dress was paired with a blue diamond necklace and silver heels with diamond stones. The fact that Adrian had purchased these expensive items for me melted my heart."Thank you," I muttered the moment the apprentice was done. "You're welcome, ma'am," the lady replied, smiling shyly. "You look beyond gorgeous."I blushed. "Thank you."The hooting of a car outside made William rush to the window to see who it was."He's here," he announced, his voice laced with excitement. "Your knight in shining armor has come to rescue you," he giggled animatedly."Hahaha," I burst into uncontrollable
