Semua Bab CHASING HER: THE BILLIONAIRE ATTITUDE: Bab 21 - Bab 30

I wanted to confront him about the engagement last night. Kleo's words were still swirling in my mind, creating a confusing storm. How could it be fake when we actually got engaged, and there's a tangible, glittering ring on my finger as proof? The question gnawed at me, a persistent echo in my thoughts."What are you thinking about?" he asked, his voice laced with gentle concern. We were walking around the island, exploring the picturesque scenery before retreating to our lodging for the night. A surprising overnight stay – thankfully, I'd had the foresight to pack extra clothes."Nothing," I mumbled, the lie heavy on my tongue. I couldn't bring myself to delve into the chaos of my thoughts, not while he was carrying Ken. It felt like a conversation best saved for a more private, intimate moment.He simply raised an eyebrow, a silent question hanging in the air between us, before turning his attention forward. I averted my gaze, trying to focus on the vibrant life around us – the loc

"Wow, your skin changed!" Ryuji immediately pointed out as I walked into his office. Yes, I'm back, and back to work as well."Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Ledezma. And you look so pale—been too busy with work?" I smirked as he glanced at himself in the mirror worried."Shit, I didn't even notice this," he said, looking worried while touching his chin. "But I'm still handsome, right?" I rolled my eyes and just nodded at him. "Yeah," I said, just to appease him. He went back to sitting in front of my desk, crossing his arms."What?" I asked, unnerved by his intense stare."Don't play coy with me, you know I like the idle talk. So spill it! Why did you two come back so early? And take note – just the two of you," he said, raising and lowering one eyebrow suggestively, the little sneak.I pretended to take a swing at him, and when he instinctively threw his hands up to protect his precious muscles, I just rolled my eyes. "You're insane, Mr. Ledezma. There were three of us—Kleo came

I arrived at the office early, having barely slept a wink last night, a fact I could no longer deny the reason behind."What happened to your face?" I exclaimed when I saw Ryuji sporting a bruise on his right cheek and some swelling."Nothing, don't worry about it. It can't hide that I'm still handsome, even with this," he said, pointing to his cheek. But I didn't laugh at his joke because it wasn't funny."Who did that?" I asked again in a serious tone. He just sighed and sat down on the couch, loosening his tie."First, get me some coffee, then I'll tell you the story," he instructed. I wanted to punch him for drawing it out like that. I was practically bursting with curiosity, and here he was, ordering me around.I made a cup of coffee and set it on the table in front of him, then sat down on the couch. "Now, tell me," I demanded."Hays, you don't need to know. It's just a little exercise," he said calmly, sipping his coffee. I wanted to snatch the mug and dump the hot liquid all o

"Fuck!" I cursed, jolting awake from that nightmare of mine. Shit, what was that?My gaze landed on the mirror in front of me. I was drenched in sweat! I was wearing the dress Ryuji had given me, but how could I have had such a dream? And Paulo? What did it all mean?"Hey, people!" Ryuji's voice boomed as he burst through the condo door, winking at me. But his brow furrowed when he saw the expression on my face."What's wrong with you?" he asked, walking towards me. "You're sweating like crazy! But it doesn't detract from how beautiful and elegant you look in that dress!"I rolled my eyes at his cheesy line and ignored him, focusing on retouching my makeup and burying that dream deep in my mind."Stand up!" he said again, prompting me. I glanced at him, giving him my 'don't-you-dare-tease-me' look. He pouted, looking like a little girl throwing a tantrum."You're so dramatic, Mr. Ledezma!" I exclaimed.Okay, now let's switch to Ryuji's POV:Ryuji POVDamn, Samantha looked like a godde

Ryuji escorted me back to the mansion and after that he left, saying he had important things to do. I waved goodbye to him until his car was out of my sight.I took a deep breath before entering the Chuena family's gates."Good Evening, Mrs. Chuena," the guard greeted me. I smiled and returned the greeting to him.Walking slowly to the main door, while I wondered where kazier had gone and why he hadn't called me again after that yesterday.As I entered the door, the sweet ambiance of the house hit me.I went straight to my room and changed clothes, cause I feel like it suffocates me while wearing this sexy dress.After changing, I went to bed, feeling like my body had been tortured.I need to sleep to rest my inner body.In the morning, I got up early and took a bath. Grandma had said Kaizer's parents would be home today, finally, I'd meet them.After bathing, I put on simple makeup and a formal dress. I went to the dining area and saw him there, silently eating pancakes and holding a
