Prideful Lust Chapter 47 - Heartbeat
AMAYA'S POVWhen I returned to the office, all I could think about was how disappointed Hugo would be after what happened in the hospital. I mean I never thought of having that sort of scene as soon as I found out that Conan's safe. I don't want to make things awkward for us the next time we meet though so maybe I'll just invite him for a drink? At my favorite club perhaps? Yeah, maybe that would do. I'll call him and we'll enjoy the night after our work. Time flies so fast and it was already four in the afternoon. I will be ending my company duties but all of a sudden, the board asked for an emergency meeting. Why on earth would we need to have a meeting? I am already so excited about my upcoming date with Hugo but they tend to ruin my excitement. But still, I have no choice but to attend since Malia is back and she's the most strict executive assistant I ever have. For her, the company comes first. "I'll be going to a club after this meeting. Do you want to come?" I tried to invite
Prideful Lust Chapter 48 - Wedding Preparations
AMAYA'S POVWhen I got that call, I immediately ran towards the hospital as everyone tried to keep me outside while most of the doctors were trying to stabilize Flynn's situation. The only thing I can only understand is that the cardiac monitor was beeping abnormally. My feelings were all mixed up and being sober is not helping me at all. I couldn't think straight for one second and my body was trembling in anxiety. All I could do was cry under my hands. I hope everything will turn out well.Finally, one of the doctors came near me informing me about Flynn's condition and it struck me when he said that he was awake. I ran towards the room and I saw Flynn's eyes looking around him. I cried even more in happiness. I held his hand as he looked at me. His eyes don't say he was happy to see me but more confusion. I looked back to the doctors behind me, wanting an answer to why Flynn couldn't recognize me."Since the spinal cord is connected to the brain, there is a huge possibility that he
Prideful Lust Chapter 49 - Francoise's Surprise
AMAYA'S POVAfter that day, I felt amused by how Hugo and I coped with the situation. It could have been worse. Other than that, it looks like we made it up already. Later today, I planned to go back to the hospital where Flynn is confined because the doctors called that his tube has been removed now. That news excites me because that means Flynn is getting better and I could already let him keep up with the events. When I arrived there, I was terrified to see the person standing by his bed talking to him. I had doubts upon entering the room because it might trigger the thoughts behind her head. Though I also don't want to see Flynn dead behind this door. I have to choose between those two. So instead I slowly walked near them as if I didn't want to disturb their talk but Francoise still made her turn towards me when the door clicked. I looked behind her to see if Flynn was alright and he was fine. He even waved at me and smiled. "So Francie? What made you visit here?" I asked not to
Prideful Lust Chapter 50 - Mrs. Lefebvre
AMAYA'S POVHow exactly did I suddenly got married? I should at least remember something, right? How drunk were we last night? I thought it was good enough that I woke up with none of my clothes missing but ended up being married.Hugo and I stayed sitting on opposite sides of the bed silent. We are both trying to remember everything that has happened. Did perhaps someone come inside the room and suddenly call out a priest? Or a judge? There needs to be a lot of files to get a marriage certificate, have they gotten mine already? Is this a fake one? But no, I don't think so. I am holding the marriage certificate in my hands right now and I don't see any fake infringement. Everything seems original. Will there be news about this? I hope not. What am I going to do? I am already messed up enough, should I make an argument with Hugo? Well, technically it's not his fault either. We are both victims here. We are suddenly married to each other overnight and yet we keep thinking about how it's
Prideful Lust Chapter 51 - How to Gamble
AMAYA'S POVHugo's invitation is something I should start to value now. He's a decent man and I know he won't disappoint me. As I was preparing myself for the dinner, Malia was looking at me impatiently while I tried to look my best for Hugo. I know that she doesn't want to see this but they leave me no choice. I think I had enough waiting for Max. I am ready for something new. It might be painful at first, but I'll try my best to stay strong."One thing I know best is that I can't stop you from whatever it is you want to do. Though I just want to let you know that people have their timings." I don't exactly get what she means by that so I remained silent while looking at her in the mirror and continued to put on my accessories.Then Hugo picked me up from the hotel I was staying in as I left Malia there alone. I wanted to tell her that she can just go visit Conan if she wants but as I think of surrendering my relationship with Max I can't muster up the courage to face Malia. "Wow, y
Prideful Lust Chapter 52 - Settlement
AMAYA'S POVThe moment Hugo got defeated with twenty billion dollars as I tried to stop him before it even reached that point, I stood up and walked away from them. I was planning to stay in the car until Hugo came down when I heard Max's voice following me."Amaya! Where are you going?" His voice was getting nearer each time I took a step and it was making me more anxious about facing him. But no, I have to.I was on my way to the elevator but I stopped at the hall to stand up for myself."What the hell are you doing here Max? Why now of all times? I am this close to forgetting you!" I shoved my two fingers to his face, mimicking a small space between them angrily. I couldn't hold it any longer."That's the point! I don't want you to forget about me!" He moved my hand down and held my shoulders as he moved it closer to himself. I was stiff for a minute when I was caught by his eyes but I remembered the day when I was about to tell him the news about Flynn. That day I received a diffe
Prideful Lust Chapter 53 - Words of Threat
HUGO'S POV"Fuck him! Fuck that Howards! Why does he have to show up there?! Damn it!" As I threw off my keys on the glass center table in my living room. I felt humiliated by what he did back there. I risked Amaya's life in my operation cause I know it'll be more convincing but how did Max know about such a thing, when he just got here?! Now I'm starting to become the bad one for bringing her along. I got a mouthful from the chief, lost a huge amount of money, and the disadvantage of my wife because her lover suddenly showed up.I let out a scream in my house when surprisingly I heard my room door click. I slowly turned behind me, expecting that I was alone in my house. I could have been robbed or whatever but little did I know that Francoise found her way into barging in. As I saw her coming out of my bedroom like she just got up from sleep."Francie? What are you doing here? Ho- How did you get in?" I asked while I looked at her walking down the stairs. She seems half awake, frowni
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 54 - The Call
MAX'S POV It was astounding news when I found out that Amaya sent divorce papers to Hugo. It gave me hope and this time, I'm going to make it worth it. She's better than the billions I spent on all the properties here in New York. Though it may seem a little bit different from LA I could get used to it. I'll have my woman tour me anyway. Everything wouldn't be possible without a little help.With that, I had a great morning to greet. I smiled at every person I encountered in the hall as I walked toward Ace's condo unit that I bought for him here in New York. As I opened the door with the bags of groceries in my arms I saw him playing video games already. It has been a part of his daily routine and I just let him be."Hey Ace, you know that it is expected for the police to call me since I was there in their operation right? What should I say?" I asked him as I walked past him to get to the kitchen. It was still early for him to be gaming but I didn't care because everything was running
