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
"Keenan?" Mr. Myron called out, guessing who had come to visit."Do you know him?" Mrs. Charlotte asked."Jaffin's son," Mr. Myron whispered to his wife.The man, none other than Keenan, then rose from his seat and approached Mr. Myron. "Do you know me, sir?""Your face resembles your father's so much that I recognized you immediately."Keenan smiled, while Mrs. Charlotte stared at him in disbelief."Brother?" Stella called from the upper floor.Everyone upstairs immediately looked down. They saw Stella and Marvin descending the stairs. Stella quickly made her way down, then ran toward Keenan."Ahhh!" Stella screamed as she tripped over her own feet.But Keenan swiftly caught his sister. "Be careful, you're pregnant."Stella looked at her brother and smiled, then hugged him tightly. "I missed you.""I missed you too," Keenan replied, gently stroking Stella's head.Mr. Myron and Marvin, who had been worried, now looked at the brother and sister with smiles. Meanwhile, Mrs. Charlotte st
"Don't worry, I didn't put poison in it," Mrs. Charlotte said, as if understanding what Stella was thinking."Isn't it natural for me to be suspicious of you? Previously, you also intended to get rid of me and my baby. And now you know that I'm the daughter of the woman you thought stole your love. Wouldn't that make your hatred for me even greater?"Mrs. Charlotte was quite taken aback when Stella said that. Did Stella already know about her past with her father?"You... know about my story with your father?""Daddy explained everything to me when you first came here," Stella replied."Ahhh..." Mrs. Charlotte nodded in understanding.She walked closer to Stella, placed the glass she was holding on the nightstand, and sat on the edge of the bed next to Stella."I'm not as bad as you think," Mrs. Charlotte said. "Previously, I didn't like you because you secretly married Marvin when Marvin was already engaged. But I never intended to get rid of you. I swear!"Stella didn't answer. She
"Thank you, Darling. You are indeed the best," Damian said, devouring the pizza that Fanny had brought with the appetite of someone who hadn't eaten for days.Fanny, sitting beside Damian, clasped her hands under her chest. "Have you come up with a plan to bring down Stella?""Not yet, I'm still trying to figure out how to destroy her. And that Marvin too!" Damian replied with his mouth full. "But don't worry, Darling. I've thought of some plans, but they're not set in stone yet. I'm still confused about the method. What’s clear is that I’ll make sure we execute the plan soon. I want to bring them down as soon as possible. They must be destroyed!" Damian said, his eyes narrowing with intense hatred. “I even want Stella to disappear! I am so heartbroken.” He lied, though in reality, he didn't want Stella to disappear.Since the incident at the restaurant, Damian had been devastated. Despite this time, his love for Stella was sincere. He had even imagined their beautiful future together
