In a big house, Amando, Amanda's father with Mariane; Amanda's mother, was sitting quietly on the couch. Amando smiled while Mariane didn't move. She sighed and stood in front of Amando. Amanda frowned at her, wondering why Mariane wasn't happy.“What’s with your face? Why are you frowning? ” Amando asked.While they were on the trip, Mariane was in a bad mood earlier, she was annoyed with Amando because of his hasty decision in life. “Do we have to get to the point where we leave our children? How is Mia? Marla can't stand being alone with Mia— ”“The man who raped her is back, Mariane. Amanda is already married to a rich family and most of all Mariz prefers to be with her new rich family. You may have forgotten that we wanted the same thing to happen.” Because of what Amando said, Mariane averted her eyes. She is also very involved in this situation, she is one of the reasons why she will be separated from their children.After the De Guzmans bought their youngest daughter Mariz, th
When Byron and Amanda arrived in Dubai, and after they entered the same hotel room Amanda was shocked. "You only took one room?" Amanda asked Byron. Byron stopped walking and turned to her. He frowned as he looked at Amanda.“Why? How many should be? It's just the two of us and I took a big hotel room,” Byron answered simply. Amanda's forehead furrowed even more as she got an answer from Byron.She thought that they could not be together in a hotel room especially if Byron's companions knew that she was just a secretary. “Can't we have a different room? I am your secretary and I am sure your meeting mates should not know that we are in the same room— ”“You are my wife, what’s wrong with that?” Amanda's eyes widened in shock at Byron's answer. She did not expect to hear those words from him. She knew she came here to work."But…"Instead of answering, she just kept quiet, thinking that even though they were here, she would sleep on the floor again tonight. When Byron noticed that Aman
While walking down the hallway of the venue, Amanda was just next to Byron. Shame on the people she sees as Byron is also greeted by a few guests. She’s wearing a fitted blue long dress, which suits her body so most of the guests, especially men of other races are looking at her which is why Byron feels frustrated. He turned slightly to Amanda, he looked at her seriously and he noticed she was embarrassed because she was bent his head over. He held Amanda’s hand which is why Amanda suddenly looked at him."Are you okay?" he asked. Amanda bit her lower lip and nodded in response to him.“I’m fine, I’m just not used to going to events like this. I am not used to facing a lot of people wearing this,” she said. Byron nodded and pulled Amanda over to the VIP table that was for the two of them.He made Amanda sit down and said goodbye for a while, Amanda just sat quietly and watched the people talking happily. She seems people talked elegant and classy, she just watched the movements of p
The party wasn't over that night, after Amanda and Byron ate, Byron said to Amanda he had something to talk to and Amanda was left at their table. She didn't do anything else but look at the people who came in and out of the venue, classy movements from people she saw, and sometimes she even heard how they talked. She shook herself as she thought again of how far away she was from the crowd in the venue.Diana had already left before Byron didn't really pay attention to her, but Amanda could still see Diana glancing at her and Byron's table. Diana felt annoyed with Amanda, she wanted to know who and where Amanda came from and why Byron married her."You look frustrated." Diana turned her head to someone who was talking behind her.She tormented Milbert, Byron's cousin who was also at the bachelor's party. Milbert turned to where Diana was looking, he plastered a smirk on his face when he saw Amanda, and Byron approaching Amanda. Milbert shook his head as he looked at how Byron had bee
When Byron left, Diana and the rest of her companions also left. Marla and Amanda were left where they are standing, unable to believe what had happened. Marla was wondering what Byron had done, especially when Byron turned his back on her sister—Amanda."What happened? Why did he leave?” Marla asked making Amanda turn to her.Amanda bit her bottom lip, smiling sparingly at Marla. "Go home, Byron is waiting for me in the parking lot," said Amanda.Marla couldn't understand her so she just looked at her, frowning. "He left you, was he ashamed earlier because it was in front of his friend? Were you brought here to feel embarrassed, Amanda?” asked Marla.Marla's voice was full of disappointment. "Go home, Marla. I will send money next week," Amanda said.Marla didn't answer again because Amanda immediately left to go see Byron. Amanda was also not mistaken that Byron was waiting in the parking lot. She saw outside the car. Amanda took a deep breath and slowly walked towards Byron, feelin
The next day, they both entered the company together. Amanda is still wearing her secretary attire even though Byron told her last night not to work but Amanda refused because she needs to earn for her family. She won't rely on Byron and Byron's family, she still hasn't lost in her mind what Byron is; payment for her family's debt.When Amanda went to her cubicle, Byron also stopped walking and turned to Amanda. "You stay here?" Byron asked.Amanda frowned and looked at him in surprise. "Why? Where should I be? This is my place since then," Amanda answered simply.Last night when they got home, the two of them tried to sleep together in bed as Byron told Amanda that they needed to be comfortable with each other. That's why until today Byron always wants Amanda by his side."I'll arrange your place inside my office, you're in—""What? You're really going crazy, you can't. I'm just gonna stay here so I know right away who you want to talk to. Go inside, Byron.” Amanda said shyly.She wa
Byron touched his face because of what happened. He didn't know who to follow. Is it for Lucille that he doesn't understand why Lucille did that or for Amanda that he doesn't understand even more because he doesn't want Amanda to see what happened in the office with Lucille.He didn't admit it but he was confused by his own feelings. When he saw Lucille come back, he felt happy because he would finally be with and see the woman he first loved but this time, he wasn't sure if he still felt the same way about Lucille.And on the other hand, he couldn't understand himself even more because of Amanda. Ever since Byron saw how difficult Amanda's life was he became more gentle with Amanda, add to that their kiss last night."I thought you were going with Sir Byron?" Maria asked Amanda when Amanda suddenly stood next to her.Amanda immediately ran to the cafeteria to catch up with her colleagues for lunch. She really felt pain from what she saw in Byron's office but she immediately put it ou
While Byron was in the meeting, Amanda was by his side holding the notebook to list the meeting. But she was singled out because of the way Byron looked at her, even when someone was speaking in front, Byron wasn't looking at them. Amanda is the one who feels ashamed because of what Byron did."Mr. De Mevius, what do you think?” an investor asked Byron after the presenter spoke at the front but Byron didn't look at him.Amanda bit her bottom lip and slowly approached Byron. Byron frowned when he saw Amanda stand up and was surprised when Amanda came to him."You are not listening, Byron. They've been asking you for a while," Amanda whispered.Amanda smiled at the crowd to apologize. "Oh, I'm sorry. What was that again?” Byron asked as he turned to the people.The others shook their heads, disappointed by Byron's action. "What's wrong with your secretary and your eyes are on her, not on the presenters. Does she have a presentation?” an investor asked insultingly."Excuse me, Mr. Lu? Yo
