Prideful Lust CHAPTER 78 - Unraveled Secrets
AMAYA’S POV“Why would they do that to her?!” I exclaimed in shock and pissed at the same time. I looked at Max waiting for an answer but he was speechless himself. So I decided to get ready fast and see her condition. Getting her in jail doesn’t mean she had to experience this. I don’t understand at all. “Looks like you are about to meet Ace after all.” Max suddenly said while I was putting on my heels. “Why?” I asked. “Because I’ll be bringing him as a Detective that will investigate this. I can’t stand the thought of her getting that extreme abuse.” I can’t either and I agree with Max's decision, something was just off. We picked up Ace in his apartment along the way and when we arrived at the prison the three of us were just pretty quiet. I couldn’t think of anything else to talk about than to look forward to Vesna’s condition. We waited patiently in the waiting area as we finally heard the metal clacking. We turned behind us seeing Vesna’s burned skin around her eyes guided
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 79 - A Fool
MAX’S POV As Vesna continued with her story, Amaya was hauling in tears. I tried to stop her but she just kept on going. The Amaya I knew once acted cold and would try not to show her sympathy. Though she changed into an open book. Maybe all those experiences made her so delicate that it's making me want to take care of her even more. I listened to Vesna’s story but I couldn’t escape the thought to doubt her. I mean how open is Amaya to these kinds of possibilities? And knowing Vesna she could have the tendency to lie. Because ever since she worked for me, I never once saw her get busy with her phone nor even heard of having siblings. What I do know is that she’s smart and manipulative. She can make someone be on her side with just a good story. As she calls it before, a business claim. A convincing assurance. It was quite useful when we were still working together but if she dares to lie to Amaya about this, I don’t know what I’d do. Besides looking out for Amaya’s condition, I ke
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 80 - Love Test
AMAYA’S POVIf my mother was as greedy as Vesna described her then there will always be a way to expose her. I invited her out shopping at the mall while Max had to excuse himself since he was busy at work. I couldn’t blame him for not tagging along since women can’t tell the time when it talks to shopping. And I wouldn’t want her to suspect something if Max is around. Aside from that he did mention being not in good terms with my mom since I was kidnapped. But does she even have the right to say such a thing? While scanning the clothing store we got into, I prepared many questions in my head. I wanted to have the same courage as I had back then when we were not on good terms. But it seems like a lot had changed already and I am happy with how we are now. Though I can’t take the risk to get betrayed again when I knew I could have done something about it. “Guess what, mom? Max and I visited Vesna yesterday. I was hoping she was feeling better though but it seems like she turned worse
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 81 - Pre-Marital Disagreement
AMAYA’S POV“Amaya– It’s over– My life is over! I don’t know what else to do! I wanted to end my life but I still wanted to see my children but Noah won’t let me anymore! He took them away from me! It’s like I am not their mother anymore! Help me, Amaya, please… I don’t like this-” Vanique’s pathetic crying voice made me feel a lot of emotions. I thought she'd been kidnapped or worse. I know that my recent experience may also be the reason for my overwhelming ideas but it is also not impossible to happen. “Hey, Calm down, Where are you right now? I’m with Mom, we’re going to get you okay?” I’m guessing Noah already found out about it. “No, Don’t come to me. Please find Noah, he’s got the kids and he’s drunk! Anything could happen to them. I want them to be safe.” “You mean the kids?” “All of them. I never stopped loving him.” Even in the state of relinquishment Vanique still didn’t cease to amaze me with her Motherly instincts. Though she might have to end up being selfish for on
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 82 - Best Friend
MAX’S POVIt has been a while since I had a nice sleep like this, especially with Amaya beside me. She became one of my comfort zones after I realized I was already in love with her. But as I turned my head on the other side of the bed, she was gone and I also noticed that I may have been asleep for a while now. I tried to peek from the curtains to know if it was still night time but the sun almost blinded me with its brightness. It was morning already so I proceeded in opening the rest of the curtains so it may give more warmth to Amaya’s bed. Not that last night was not enough but also since sun rays may also have their benefits. And since I am already naked, I think it would be best to just go to the bathroom straight. After taking a bath I went straight to the other floor where the kitchen was yet I didn’t see Amaya there. She did leave a note though saying that my breakfast is on the table so I went to the dining room where a plate is covered with a silver cloche and looked under
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 83 - 1st Prep
AMAYA’S POVBefore Max returned to us in the office, Xihizo was left on the couch watching TV while I went back to sit at my table to sign and review some papers that had just arrived. I remembered we haven’t continued our wedding preparations since the incident. I reached out to one of my drawers and found the list I made and the samples of the invitation format. There was also a folder filled with different color schemes which I haven’t decided yet. I felt the same excitement I used to feel when I started this. I took all of it out and placed it all on my table. When Xihizo noticed it he walked towards me and asked about it.“These were my part of the preparations. I can’t believe I didn’t make that much progress.” I said to him with a soft tone trying to control myself not to cry. The thought of marriage made me happy and more to that I am going to be with the man I love. I couldn’t stop imagining walking down the aisle while he waits there at the altar. I want that to happen as s
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 84 - 2nd Prep-posal
MAX’S POVThe presentations went well and I was able to make a decision on the spot. Though still, I felt bad someone had to leave so I made a different offer instead.“Anyway, I don’t want you guys to leave disappointed so I’m gonna offer you a different job. It is not going to be a wedding though but you’ll have to organize an event for my company. Since we launched our branch here, we haven’t really made a decent event to celebrate so that’ll be coming maybe a month from now. While the other team will organize a gala, I’ll let my assistant contact you. As for the chosen team, hopefully, my fiance will be ready by next week so kindly keep your presentation. I’ll contact you for the schedule as soon as possible. Thank you.”Now, I needed to get back to Amaya’s office and I am expecting the guy to be gone. I would probably take three days' leave from my work so I can do this without my time being divided. That’s the least I can do. Now, I am done with the organizers, should I let them
Prideful Lust CHAPTER 85 - Intentions
AMAYA’S POVWhen he raised his voice my body started trembling. He’s making me anxious. I don’t understand what he is so upset about. I kept on stuttering while I tried to calm him down. It went silent between us for a few seconds and I couldn’t help myself to hold my breath. It’s like I was waiting for him to do something aggressive. In his state, it wasn’t impossible to happen. But I was lucky when he suddenly left the conference room doing nothing. As I heard the door close, my legs gave up, and I fell to the floor, losing all my strength. Then I didn’t even notice that I was already crying. My chest felt so heavy that I am trying to keep up with my breath. I wanted to wail though I couldn’t. The room feels so cold. I didn’t want to get up. I stayed inside there for as long as I can remember when Max shows up. I looked at him blankly because I couldn’t really tell if I should be happy or not. But despite my anxiousness, I was able to notice a bruise beside his lips and right eye.
