After speaking to Gryphon at that time, Andrea continued reading through the article with a different mindset. She ignored the women’s qualifications and imagined how they were behind the shots of their magazine smiles. What did Gryphon not like about them?
When she got to Roxanne’s segment, she stared at the divine looks of the supermodel. She envied the lush golden hair that she used to have, and those crystal eyes that had the same hue as hers. It was strange: this woman was more beautiful than her, and yet…
“Wait a minute…” Andrea scrolled up to look at the other girls. They were all blondes with long hair, and their eyes were almost the same color. As for looking like siblings, no, their facial bone structures were all very different. No one would mistake them for someone else. It’s just that… Gryphon defi
The last time Andrea had gone to a tailoring shop, she was fitting for one of the dresses she had to model for Superstar. It was in a shop somewhere in the commercial district, next to a dessert shop and one that sold used books. The clerk there was friendly and bubbly, entertaining the customers in their small reception nook with zero unnecessary or awkward chattering and some jazz music. That shop had a rather homey feel, but this one right here… Andrea wondered if she had walked into a corporate office instead. The walls were cream and gold, while the reception was so wide as if cars were allowed inside. The displayed gowns were in full mannequins, along with the raised veil and gorgeous shoes. Some even had a bouquet of plastic flowers in their plastic hands. Andrea took a deep breath. She never had the chance to get fitted for a wedding gown before. She
Weeks after the crazy reveal about Andrea and Gryphon’s wedding, Andrea made another loud sound when VNVS announced their new line of watches a day before Monarch could announce theirs. It’s just that… VNVS was not planning to compete with Monarch head-on this time. After all, VNVS’s new line was set to cater to the middle class.Unlike how she advertised Cosmic Promises, she just had local celebrities do the promotion for the Gardener Series. In fact, she had four models for the first two watches of the Gardener series. Sunshine Spirit was loosely based on the sunflower, while King of the Night had the color of the black tulip.Since they were catering to the middle class, Andrea decided to design a few for men. Instead of making watches with a plain face and solely neutral colors, King of the Night had its dark purple color mixed with
The front lawn of Pearce Empire Tower stretched for ten meters worth of wide space and a few steps from the building and then at the edge before the sidewalk. It was already five in the afternoon, so the place was filled with employees going home or standing around to wait for their other friends or rides. Since the exit of the parking was on the other side, the people here rarely had their own cars.It’s just that all of a sudden, the president of the company pushed the doors open. In his gray suit, Gryphon had a phone in his hand. He looked around fiercely as if hunting a person in particular, eyes glaring at anything that met them.Then, a cab pulled up almost right across from him. When Andrea got out with a hand on the lower half of her face, Gryphon paled a little. He then ran toward her, surprising the people with his actions—even the cabbie
Unlike what Andrea would be comfortable with, Gryphon chucked the entire planning of the wedding into the hands of Sammy and Parker. Andrea was still being consulted, but she figured something about that night had changed. She just sent Gryphon to the grocery, but he came back a bit differently. He was still the same asshat with a callous face and timing for jokes, but he’s serious at most times now.Moreover, he had introduced a bodyguard for Andrea that would accompany her no matter where she went. Andrea didn’t like the idea of not having time for herself, but thinking about how Mathias assaulted her that evening… maybe she needed a bodyguard.It’s just that… where did Gryphon get this bodyguard?“Good morning, Andrea! Are you ready to go?” Adette greeted her by the doo
Andrea didn’t know if she should be horrified that they found evidence of Gryphon dating her back in high school, but her heart swelled so badly when she reviewed the photos. It was all her face and hers alone. There was no him or anyone—she wasn’t even looking at him. Neither did she know that these photos even existed.Then, she saw this one photo where she was looking, but there was a visible shake on the photo. It was as if Gryphon moved the camera away as soon as she looked at him. She figured it was those times that Gryphon would suddenly grow weird and evade her.How painful was it that he had this… tons of photos of her safely kept from fading or aging… yet he still tossed her away like some plastic tub?“…it’s okay. This doesn’t mean anything…&
It was nothing short of a fairytale dream to Andrea. She had walked the aisle and into the arms of the man that she had long envisioned to be hers for the rest of her life. With a smile that could melt even the strongest of hearts, she held onto Gryphon’s hand and walked to the altar with him. They then kneeled on the first step to continue the ceremony.At the seats, Parker leaned on her husband and dreamily watched the ceremony. When Gryphon rejected the first marriage interview they got for him, she thought that her son would never get married. She worked desperately to find a good bride for her son; sometimes, it was not even anything worthy. It came to a point that she just wanted Gryphon to meet a girl.Who knew that even after she showed that album to Andrea, the heaven-sent girl didn’t drop out of the wedding? Moreover, after pushing Ashley
The weather outside was so clear that the blue sky was a witness to everything that happened. The groom with blood on his sleeves and fists walked along the deserted street, having no more energy to yell for his wife’s name. He wanted to kill Mathias for the sick act, but he wanted Andrea to see it. He had to find his wife first before becoming evil again.Following the trail of the wet train, he soon arrived at a winding road that headed to their hotel. There were a lot of shops around, but it was too early for them to be open. That was why, when he saw a lot of people crowding around, he figured he already found Andrea. He just… didn’t know what he would see.He stepped closer and closer, his heart pounding louder until it was the only thing that he could hear. The people murmured in the background, and he hoped he would have to call an amb
Bang! A loud sound came from the recovery room where Mathias was. Gryphon ended up beating his face quite well that day that he was indeed sent to the hospital. There was a crack on his cheekbone, and Mathias couldn’t even talk because of the strain it gave his injury.It didn’t help that Gryphon and Andrea continued with their reception and still behaved like nothing big happened at their wedding. The blonde bitch even had the gall to make a rather sympathetic post about how she would stand strong against the attack of the ex-boyfriend. In a fight like this, the Internet was quick to pick which side to fight for.They didn’t name Mathias in anything, but everyone who knew Andrea had an idea who the ex-boyfriend was. Even the person billed for the damages pointed his finger at the ex-boyfriend.Tha
