Fanny, who had been heading to the dining room because she was hungry, changed her mind when she saw Stella there with Miss Bertha. She was stunned to hear Stella and Miss Bertha’s conversation."She’s pregnant?" Fanny murmured upon hearing Stella's words. "That damn woman! How dare she be pregnant with my man? Fanny clenched her fists, unable to accept that Stella was carrying Marvin’s baby.She eavesdropped again."But Marvin doesn’t know yet. I’ll tell him later after he comes home," Stella said to Miss Bertha.Miss Bertha smiled. "Congratulations, Madam. I’m so happy to hear this. Soon this house will be filled with the sound of a baby crying, and I can’t wait for that day to come."Stella smiled back, while Fanny, still hiding, glared at Stella with increasing hatred."So Marvin doesn’t know yet, and she’ll tell him this afternoon? Good then! I have time until this afternoon to get rid of the baby in her womb, but... how? I haven’t been able to touch her at all!" Fanny thought h
"I’ll hide, Mom."Mrs. Charlotte nodded. Shortly after, Mia arrived to meet Mrs. Charlotte, who was alone in the kitchen."What’s up, Mrs.? Uh, I mean, Mom."Mrs. Charlotte put on a false smile and handed Mia a glass of juice. "Give this to Stella."Mia took the juice from Mrs. Charlotte’s hand, frowning. "For Stella?""Yes, for Stella. You need to win her favor by being nice so she won’t suspect you’re actually a hidden enemy. When we proceed to separate her from Marvin, she shouldn’t suspect that you’re planning to take her husband. So, let’s start with the easiest step first. Just take it slow and make sure it works.""Okay Then, I’ll give it to her right away.""Better do it now. If you wait too long, the juice will get bad," Mrs. Charlotte added with a smile as she drank the remaining mango juice. "Do you want some?" she offered."No, Mom. I don’t like mango juice. Alright then. I’ll head upstairs," Mia said as she left.Mia turned and went upstairs, entering Stella’s room. The g
"What happened? Why is my wife like this, huh?" Marvin asked, grabbing the collar of the guard who had brought Stella."S-sorry, sir, but we swear we took good care of Madam."Marvin roughly shoved the guard, causing him to stumble back a few steps, then he bowed his head, unable to meet Marvin's gaze. His colleague standing beside him did the same, bowing his head in fear."If you did your job right, my wife wouldn't be in the hospital like this!""But we really took good care of Madam. We followed her every step wherever she went. Even when she ate, we were there, and nothing bad happened. The food she ate was safe, and she wasn't approached by Miss Fanny or Mrs. Charlotte."Marvin held his head in frustration. If Stella was being well cared for, then what had happened to make his wife suffer so much?Not long after, the emergency room door finally opened, and a doctor emerged."How is she, doctor? Is my wife okay?" Marvin asked, very worried. "The... baby? How is the baby?" Marvin
Marvin closed Stella's hospital room door after she had just fallen asleep. He looked at the man standing before him, who had just received a phone call."Well? Have you got the information? Do you know why my wife is like this?" Marvin asked.The man, who was none other than the guard who usually looked after Stella, nodded. "Yes, sir.""What is it?""The juice from Miss Mia is what caused Mrs. Stella to be hospitalized and almost lose her baby."Marvin's eyes widened. "A-are you... serious?""I'm very serious, sir," the guard replied, handing Marvin a white envelope he had been holding. "These are the test results from the juice."Marvin took the white envelope and immediately read the sheet of paper inside."It says that the mango juice Mrs. Stella drank contained a substance that would weaken the fetus or, if left untreated, cause a miscarriage. Luckily, we brought Mrs. Stella here quickly, so she was treated in time. If not? The baby would have been lost."Marvin was still in sho
"Stella? Are you feeling better? How are you?" Mia asked.Mrs. Charlotte and Mr. Myron, who had been sitting on the sofa watching TV, immediately approached Marvin and Stella upon hearing Mia call out Stella's name. Fanny, who was in her room, also came out upon hearing the voices from outside.Stella, receiving Mia's question, did not respond. Instead, she glared at Mia with anger and intensity."Weren't you supposed to be discharged tomorrow or the day after? Why are you home now?" Mr. Myron asked.They were now all gathered in the living room.“Daddy was planning to visit the hospital later this evening,” Mr. Myron said again. He walked closer to Stella and touched her belly, "Is my grandchild okay? What did the doctor say?"Mrs. Charlotte and Mia were taken aback by Mr. Myron's words. During Stella's hospital stay, only Mr. Myron was allowed to visit. Marvin had forbidden anyone else from visiting for Stella's safety.He didn't allow his mother to visit because she was close to Fa
"What's the meaning of trapping me, huh? I—I didn't trap you!" Mrs. Charlotte retorted."Don't want to admit it?" Mia scoffed cynically. "You were the one who gave me that mango juice, Mom. Ah, correction! Mrs. Charlotte!" Mia staring at Mrs. Charlotte with a piercing gaze, causing Mrs. Charlotte to swallow her saliva again. "Now I understand. You've been getting close to me recently because you wanted to trap me like this, didn't you?"Marvin and Stella immediately stared at Mia and Mrs. Charlotte, who were now arguing. Marvin became even more curious about what Mia was saying. He grew increasingly convinced that his mother and Mia were indeed collaborating."What do you mean?" Marvin asked. "Mommy tried to get close to you?""Yes, your mother came to my room, and I think this is part of her plan. She said she didn't like Fanny and Stella. She wanted me to be her daughter-in-law. She said she wanted to help me get you. But I didn't know her method would be like this! She only said th
Marvin was furious and enraged when he saw the main culprit who had put abortion drugs into the juice that Stella drank, displayed on the CCTV.Meanwhile, Fanny, who was now looking at the screen in front of her, swallowed hard. She hadn't expected that Marvin had also placed CCTV in the kitchen. She was too excited and didn't realize that Marvin had cameras all over the house.Everyone was now looking at Fanny. Mrs. Charlotte couldn't believe that Fanny would do something so cruel. Her respect vanished instantly when Fanny had accused her earlier, not expecting Fanny to do this to her."Mommy never thought you could be this cruel, Fanny," said Mrs. Charlotte."I–I..."Before Fanny could speak, Marvin approached her and immediately choked her neck, making it difficult for her to breathe."How dare you harm my woman! You also intended to kill my child, huh? You will die at my hands!" said Marvin.Fanny struggled, weakly hitting Marvin's arm because she couldn't breathe at all.Mrs. Cha
"Stella, I'm sorry. I'm truly very sorry. Besides, it wasn't me who hurt you and your baby, it was Fanny," Mia said after Marvin gently asked her to leave."You may not have hurt me physically, but my heart is deeply wounded by you. You intended to take my husband and conspired with my mother-in-law. That's more painful than drinking poison!"Mia bowed her head in resignation."Pack all your belongings so that when Keenan arrives, you're ready," Marvin said.Mia looked at Marvin briefly, then went to her room. After Mia left, Marvin turned to his mother. Mrs. Charlotte swallowed hard as Marvin stared at her."Do you want to be thrown out too, Mommy?" Mrs. Charlotte asked."If I were heartless, I might have done that already, Mom. Unfortunately, I still have a sane mind! After this, it's up to you whether you want to stay here or go back to your own home.""Daddy still has some decency," Mr. Myron said, "Once Stella's condition improves, Daddy will go back home.""I don't mind if Daddy
