Andreas arrived on time, just as he promised a few days ago. After gaining access, he entered the elevator and headed to the floor where Vlora's unit was located. His steps halted at the door numbered 1801.
He pressed the doorbell and didn't have to wait long. Maybe just five seconds, and the door opened. Then he was taken aback.
Andreas would not deny that he had known too many beautiful women. They were countless, to be exact.
However, he also could not deny that what he saw that night was a level of sensuality he had never imagined before. Flawless and truly impeccable.
Andreas stood there, momentarily stunned. Then his lips curved into a smile filled with admiration.
“You are truly amazing.”
Can the words of a player be trusted? For Vlora herself, it was a challenge. Fortunately, she had no intention of gambling on something so insignificant. Whether she was amazing or not had nothing to do with Andreas.
Andreas' prais
“Have you planned all of this, Reas?”Bryan's accusation elicited a smirk from Andreas. He raised his glass and took a sip with a relaxed demeanor, as if he were enjoying an international opera performance.“Of course, I had planned it,” replied Andreas nonchalantly. He then turned to Vlora by his side, reaching out his hand and gently squeezing her slender fingers. “It would be impossible for me not to consider the possibility that you would reject Vlora. I didn't want to take any risks, and you can't do anything about it now. It's already too late.”Andreas did not exaggerate what he said. And as for Bryan's helplessness now, it would only take a short amount of time for the sensational news to spread across the country. There was no need to wait for tomorrow's printed newspapers or even internet-based media outlets to start working as expected.A delighted expression adorned Andreas' handsome face. Just imagining it
Hi?Vlora's expression snapped to attention when she heard the informal greeting directed at her. Even more so when a hand was extended a moment later, accompanied by a smile.Vlora welcomed the handshake. “Vlora.”“I know who you are. At least, the host introduced you earlier.”Ah! A forgotten fact by Vlora. It seemed that now, there was no one who did not know her. It was all thanks to Andreas' brilliant idea.“Unfortunately, you probably don't know me. I'm Nadine Martinez.”I know you.Certainly, thanks to the brief argument between Andreas and Bryan. Vlora had repeatedly heard the name Nadine mentioned. So, was this her lucky chance to meet her in person?“Ah, Nadine.”The handshake concluded. Nadine, who was wearing a black dress that night, continued speaking.“Yes, and I am Andreas' girlfriend.”Vlora's forehead furrowed sl
It seemed fate was too cruel to Nadine that night. Not only did she feel deflated by Vlora's words, but she also had to witness firsthand how Andreas embraced the woman intimately. To add insult to injury, Andreas even planted a kiss on Vlora's temple.The sight of such intimacy evoked a range of emotions within Nadine's heart. She felt humiliated as this incident did not escape the prying eyes of a few onlookers. It was no wonder Nadine noticed some people looking at her with pity.How pathetic.“You should have listened to what I said, Nadine. You shouldn't have entered a relationship with Andreas. Now, look what has happened? He dumped you for another woman.”A heavy voice rang in Nadine's ears. She turned and her face instantly changed upon seeing who approached her.“Jonas.”It was Jonas Sanders, Bryan's eldest son from his second wife, standing right beside Nadine. He held a drink in one hand and the other reste
Progun was a company focused on household supplies. It started with high-quality products to combat various insects and became well-known for its wide range of mosquito repellents.Over time, Progun expanded into other daily consumer sectors. Many acquisitions were made, venturing into air fresheners, shoe polish, soap, and various everyday food products. At least, additional items such as soy sauce, sauce, tea, syrup, juice, and bread had solidified Progun's position.Talking about Progun was always associated with billions of dolar in value and the pride that came with it.“Enjoy it while you can, Jon. Because once I decide to take it back, you won't get anything.”Jonas scoffed. “You're too confident, Reas.”“Not without reason. You should realize that too, Jonas. Fate works that way. Your mother could marry our father because our mother allowed it. You could have Nadine because I let her go. You can manage Progun n
At eleven o'clock at night, it was not too late for a party. Unfortunately, it was different with this party. Andreas decided to take Vlora to leave the event early. However, something crossed his mind, causing a frown on his forehead.“What's wrong?” Vlora asked, looking at Andreas.Andreas gazed at her. “Actually, there's one family member I haven't introduced you to. I just realized I haven't seen her since earlier.”“Is it your grandmother?” Vlora asked.Andreas shook his head. “Of course not. Nana has retired from attending such events since Papa had a mistress. It's safe to say that Nana has never been at the same event as Papa for the last 36 years.”A very long time. Even before Andreas was born.“I heard the story from people, and I've seen it for myself. That's what I've witnessed all this time. They are biological mother and son who are genuinely not on good terms.”
It should have been a peaceful breakfast as usual. Unfortunately, everything changed when someone's footsteps slowly approached the dining room. Three faces lifted. Three pairs of eyes turned. They looked at a grown man who pulled out a chair with a broad smile. He sat down without apology. He joined them for breakfast after a waiter promptly prepared a meal for him. Amanda and Vian exchanged a look. Then they both turned their attention to Bryan, whose face immediately tensed. Obviously, Andreas' presence was not the breakfast menu he liked. “Ah! Having a meal with the family is truly delightful.” Andreas' voice broke the silence. He smiled as he looked at his family members one by one. It was not at all surprising that Andreas found it normal that Amanda and Vian acted cautiously. It was as if they were prepared for the tension that would arise between Andreas and Bryan. Bryan clearly showed his displeasure with Andreas' presence. A father's attitude that was completely inapprop
That night, Vlora had just finished preparing her tools when the doorbell rang. She glanced at the clock and noticed that it was already ten o'clock. It was an unusual time for a visit.Vlora adjusted her nightgown and looked through the intercom. It was then that she realized that sometimes there were one or two people who did not understand common courtesy. Andreas seemed to be one of them.The door opened. Their eyes met immediately.“I hope I'm not disturbing you, Vlo.”It was not just Andreas' words that made Vlora exhale for a moment. There was also a wry smile on his face.“At ten at night? Oh, of course, you're not disturbing me.”Andreas laughed. “Do you mind if I ask for a cup of coffee?”“A cup of coffee?”“You can substitute it with something else,” Andreas replied. Apparently, a cup of coffee at ten o'clock at night had been added to Andreas' list of pecul
As quickly as Andreas' voice became husky, Vlora felt the air around her change. She immediately assumed a cautious posture, anticipating every possible scenario that might unfold.Vlora shifted slightly when Andreas said that so explicitly. His tone was soft, but she could sense the underlying desire.“You're not wearing a bra under that nightgown.”Vlora froze. She forced her brain to think quickly to take precautions. Unfortunately, Andreas' voice returned and interrupted her train of thought.“Am I right?”Spontaneously blinking, Andreas' intense gaze made Vlora move. Her natural instinct urged her to put some distance between them. She had to keep her distance and be on guard. At the very least, she should fold her arms across her chest.But no. This was Vlora. She never let anyone intimidate her. Including Andreas.Andreas was well aware of this. So, he remained calm, but alert. He was sure that Vlora wou
