AMAYA’S POV Tyler started stuttering when Max arrived in the room. He tried explaining his ideas to Max while I sat and stayed quiet. I was in awe looking at Max negotiating with the theme of reconsidering the things I like and dislike. It was fascinating to look at if only he was not talking to this douche who was playing pretend well. I just don’t get the idea why he would tend to act like that. “Amaya’s not the colorful flower type, she’s more on focusing on one or two colors and their family. Though gold is too luxurious. We tend to keep it simple. The guest might get intimidated.” Max sounded so intelligent that it makes me sound dumb. Is this how it feels to recognize my love for someone and not doubt it for once? As we finished our meeting, Tyler left as if nothing odd happened before Max’s arrival. Max also excused himself since he has other appointments he needed to attend. It was easier for us to understand each other because of the same field of work. Yet, there’s someth
AMAYA’S POV I played the music inside the car and I am glad that I couldn’t hear Tyler from the back. I don’t care now with whatever plan he got ready for this day. But things should be along my way today. After all, it is my engagement we are talking about here, not his. Finally, we arrived at the building Max was having a meeting. I was sure that Tyler was very confused right now but he’ll have to wait. Together with everyone, we went inside the building and were ready to greet Max. It was an advantage that people recognized me so they just opened the door for us without any questions. I also stopped by the front desk asking where they could be conducting their meeting so they gladly told me and announced my arrival. Everyone was pretty much disturbed by my presence since I have not been here even once. The owner of this building isn’t the risky type so he keeps everything within the range that he could handle. I assumed not everyone here is not receiving enough salary they were p
MAX’S POV No matter how much I love Amaya, I will still lose my patience because of her. And it’s not that I am being selfish, I just want to give importance to our relationship. We’ve missed a lot for the last few years of our life and valuing what’s between us is one thing I prioritize the most. It may not seem to be like a fairy tale that typical women tend to wish for but at least we made effort for it to work out. I wanted to help too but the idea doesn’t overpower me now. So I needed time to think. I can’t risk having our argument last longer and get worse. I’ll just let her do whatever she wants for now. But yeah, I might need to contact Conan indeed.As I was standing by the street, I realized that I was in front of the St. Regis Hotel, One of the best hotels here in New York. I couldn’t miss the chance so I called Liam to bring my things with me. I’ll be working in this hotel for a few days since my woman is not happy with me yet. I’ll be doing tasks that a fiance should be
A NEW CHARACTER’S POVI am Larissa Dallo, Rick Dallo’s only daughter and recently I discovered my Dad’s bankruptcy. I’m not surprised that he would end up like that because of his gambling addiction. He was always not around whenever I tried to visit him in his office and was always in Vegas. I happened to pick him up there once yet I just became a target of his friends’ pervert acts. But who am I to say no? These men were one of the richest fellows in the business world becoming one of their side chicks would be a great advantage. If my Dad is about to go down then I am not going down with him.But there is something about me that find it odd seeing my Dad so angry inside his office when I am not the kind of person that would like to sympathize with anyone. Then he revealed the paper that states the purchase of our company DALLO. It is the only thing he has after losing my mom. I couldn’t bare to look at him so upset so I never asked anything more and was just about to leave when his
! WARNING!The chapter may include sexual assault scenes and drugs that may trigger a traumatic experience for the readers. AMAYA’S POVAfter that incident, I decided that I should take a break from all these arrangements. I also discovered that Ken Addams was Larissa Dallo’s boyfriend. As well as who Larissa’s father is. It was an unexpected turn of events that I happened to meet Ken on the same day. But then I realized that he could not be guilty since this doesn’t directly relate to him. It is not like Larissa is married to him. Yet still, not knowing who they might be connected to is dangerous so I have to keep myself off the road for a while. I chose to visit a gym for the day and practiced boxing. It has been a while since I last came here with Max. I rented the whole place so I was most likely alone in the boxing ring. I was planning to last here longer than usual. It’s also about to become a week now since I last talked to Max. I miss him so much. And by him, all of a sudden
AMAYA’S POV I trusted Ken so I waited the whole day while a bunch of assholes kept on visiting me until it was finally dark outside. Just as Ken promised, he came to my rescue. He unlocked me from the chains and brought a towel to cover me up. It turns out that I was in a different location than before already. I realized that we were in a basement of a huge mansion. It took a while for us to get out of the place. Ken was really trying his best to hide me in any way possible from all the men around the house guarding every corner. I can’t help but tear out of nervousness about everything that is currently happening. I prayed for us to get out safely with every step we take closer outside. Until we happen to bump into someone while he was assisting me. My visions were getting dark again, expecting to be brought back to that disgusting place.“Where are you taking her?” The man in front of us asked.“I was tired of getting down there just to have a chance on her so I was thinking of br
MAX’S POVAs soon as this day will end, it’ll be Amaya’s tenth day of being missing. Her absence caused multiple assumptions from different partners that she may have run away since we never had enough evidence when we investigated the Dallo Family. I feel shit for not being able to find her or even help her wherever she is. And yet right now, I had to deal with this bunch of businessmen in the lobby stressing out about having Galiviosa’s operations on pause. Amaya’s parents were also starting to get furious at me, thinking that I may haven’t been doing anything to find her. But I’ve been squeezing my head out right now on how to find her. I almost killed Ace with how anxious I got. Though one thing is for sure, I know that Amaya is still alive. I kept on telling them that but they were almost giving up on her. The noise inside the building pissed me off so Vanique tried to bring them upstairs to Amaya’s office while I stayed down there for a while and finally, walked outside to feel
MAX’S POV After three days since Amaya got admitted, Flynn finally came. I also reminded him about not bringing along his sister and he was cool about it. I was glad to catch up with the things that happened in his life and to the thought that he’s never been into a relationship since. He explained that he was way too busy to be ready for it but I doubt it wasn’t that. Amaya mentioned to me that, Flynn and she still communicate. I was fine with it, it's just that I know that being busy was not his only reason. The way he looks at Amaya on the hospital bed is still the same. As for being busy, I doubt he would even say yes to my request if that was the case. Vanique and I decided to let Amaya stay in her room in Galiviosa since it is where she might want to be. Also, Flynn and the rest can stay there too since we got all the accommodations. I insisted on providing their perishables but Flynn rejected it. So I never tried to force him. It has been a week since they got here and there a
