Prideful Lust CHAPTER 30 - Retaliate
AMAYA'S POV Today is going to be the day that Vesna Anderson is going to pay for what she's done. I had enough of all the nonsense she had caused. She doesn't know who she's dealing with. As we arrived at the justice hall, there was media everywhere we looked. Flashes flickering through our faces with their unlimited questions. Vanique was also getting more uncomfortable each time they took a step closer. "Miss Amaya, How come you hid this issue until today? Don't you think that this could affect the guests arriving at your gala?" One of the reporters managed to come near me when suddenly a man in a well-prepared tuxedo suit stood in front of me and tried to stop the reporter from coming closer. He seems like a bodyguard but not mine. My bodyguards usually wear civilian clothes. So I looked back to the rest of the crowd and found out that some other men were refraining from the media like him while Conan was arriving. I doubted the thought that it was for him. Is it? Yet he confir
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 31 - Aftermath
MAX'S POV Having Vesna behind bars for long didn't make me feel satisfied. Somehow, she became the reason why I became so doubtful of everyone right now. I realized that Liam knew about this. And yet, he didn't tell me anything. He pretended not to know anything and played along with Vesna's game. My psychologist too. He might have known about it all along that maybe, that's why he left. I hated these thoughts. I can't find a valid reason for me to believe this nonsense. Don't they feel ashamed of this? When we got back to my hotel, Liam was standing in front of me. Silent, waiting for me to say something as I can't help staring at him. He could either be guilty or as speechless as I do. "Did you know something about Malia being a Howards?" I couldn't stop myself and finally asked him while my hands were shaking and I want answers. "Answer me! Did you have any idea of what Malia's real identity is?!" I furiously asked again. Liam's silence pissed me off that I collared him out o
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 32 - The Gala
AMAYA'S POV There is no reason for me not to continue with this celebration. Although there was another problem that just appeared, Vesna's loss and the development of my company makes it worth a while. The Gala was held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art or also known as The MET. It was a sensational event where you can find all the media in New York City. And it even blew the minds of the public when Mr. Hugo Lefebvre was my date. The son of the second in line of famous business people in New York, who owned the Oasis, a very famous hotel in New York City. As expected, the crowd was asking so many questions about our relationship. None of us answered and just let them continue taking pictures while Hugo's hand was around my waist. Though somehow, I didn't get any reactions from Max even when he was just right beside me without a date and tagged along with Flynn. He was pretty distracted the whole time. He seemed to be looking for Malia but we both can't find her anywhere since she w
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 33 - The News
MAX'S POV As I went back inside the museum. Everyone was disturbed. It seems that Amaya was having a panic attack at the front being surrounded by the people she was with on the same table, including the man who seems to be her date for the night. I was about to come closer when Conan and Malia pulled me back. "Max just don't," Malia said while holding a grip on my arms. I looked at her still confused as to why I can't go near her when that reporter already revealed that we were linked to each other. So why not let them know it's true? I turned again to Amaya's direction when suddenly the man who was beside her stood up straight as if he was about to assure everyone that she was doing fine. But instead... "Fear not everyone, Amaya's fine. Knowing the news just got her devastated and could add some complications to her baby." The crowd reacted by whispering to each other. It caused another fuss which also got me dumbfounded. Was I? I thought to myself. But again another piec
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 34 - Dismissed Case: The Lost Ones
MAX'S POV As soon as I woke up on this hospital bed with no one beside me I took all the tubes from my arm and tried to leave the hospital. It stung the whole time I was walking around yet I needed to bear with it. I needed to find out the truth. I need to know that Amaya shouldn't be the one being blamed for this. Unfortunately, I just bumped into Flynn in the hall. "Max? What are you doing?" He asked and gazed at my arm which I was holding bleeding painfully. "Don't let anyone see me," I begged him as he started to lead the way toward the fire exit. I followed him to the car he rented and then proceeded with treating the hole in my arm. After that, we both went silent inside while I could hear myself catching my breath. I don't know what could be the things I needed to say to him. I just want to know the truth about everything that has happened in my life. "Hey, about the day you guys lost your parents. I know that this could be a sensitive topic but I just want you to know wh
Prideful Lust Chapter 35 - Separate Investigations
AMAYA'S POV When I woke up in the morning, I found myself naked with Conan on my bed. I looked at him silently and couldn’t believe that after all the things that had happened, I was able to do this again. I could entitle him to 'the distraction' or 'the escape' for the things he always does whenever I'm lost. Though should I let him keep doing this? It's like the ones I used to do with Flynn, and it never turned out well. I let out a huge exhale and looked at him while covering myself with the blanket on my naked body. Oh please, when will these affairs end? I was about to move out of bed when I saw Flynn by my room's door whose eyes were wide open. I couldn't believe it myself either. I'm so messed up. How come I could have time moaning under someone when I should have been mourning over a loss that was about to happen? Flynn was speechless as I was trying to shake Conan to wake up. "Max is gone and you're doing this? Do you have time for this? Are you serious?" Flynn finally a
Prideful Lust Chapter 36 - Shot Down
AMAYA'S POV Flynn and I were walking towards the entrance of the precinct when Vanique suddenly called. I looked at Flynn as he came closer to me wondering why Vanique could be calling. Well, I was pretty sure I informed Mom about coming here so she doesn't have to worry about my whereabouts. Though something about this call got me alarmed that made my heart start beating so fast. So I decided to answer it. "Hey, What's up?" I tried to make my reply short, not to make it obvious to her that I was nervous. "Conan just got shot." Vanique directly said that made me hold my breath. I was on speaker mode so Flynn would also hear it. Anyone that'll be against it will have a consequence. What is it this time? And who the heck's behind this? "Amaya, Don't you think we should be prepared before talking to Vesna? We might risk her life or someone else's if we do." Flynn suggested after Vanique took a long pause after that statement. "Where are you Vanique?" I asked, worried that somethin
Prideful Lust Chapter 37 - TO RUN TO
AMAYA'S POV I am hearing footsteps coming towards me in a place that was so dark while at the same time, I could see Conan's body filled with so much blood hanging right in front of me. My eyes can't help but cry. Conan's dead but why was he hunting me? Did I owe him something? Are you perhaps asking why I haven't been able to see your body? 'I'm so sorry Conan. I will find justice for you and I promise that.' Though all of a sudden, It startled me that his eyes suddenly opened and looked at me in terror. The footsteps sound continued along with a beeping sound. I could feel my heart pounding and heavy at the same time. I wanted to move from this spot as Conan's face was getting nearer. 'Amaya, Run.'I woke up in a grasp holding on to a bed sheet beside someone. I was trying to catch my breath as I felt like that dream was so real. I looked at Flynn still sleeping in this dull hospital room. I wanted to call out to him and tell him about that dream I just had. But it was terrifyi
