“Don Fausto, what do you think your cousin is thinking, and he is hastening the marriage of his granddaughter and my son now?” Kobe talked to the old man.“You should delay the planned gathering to also delay the plans he’s cooking,” Fausto suggested to Mauro’s father.Stella sighed as she listened to the meeting. She was disappointed with Diana earlier, especially from what she was wearing.“Then I’ll call them tomorrow morning,” Kobe’s decision.“It’s up to you to work together in the company from now on. I have to follow Ramon and my grandson to another country.”Mauro nodded understandingly to Stella’s grandfather. He will be Stella’s assistant in the company, and his position also increased. That’s probably what Vincent and his family see as an opportunity, so they want him to marry Diana.“Grandpa, don’t worry, and I will take care of the company.”Fausto smiled at Charles. He also has a lot of trust in him, and he knows that he can protect even his pregnant granddaughter.The e
Diana ran back to her room when the guests were gone. She rushed to the bathroom and immediately threw up that she had previously suppressed all throughout the interview. As time went on, her vomiting became more frequent. She has to hurry to get out of her grandfather’s house.Meashelle immediately followed the girl. She is worried, and it seems that her body has also been affected due to her pregnancy.“Sister Meashelle, do you think Grandpa doesn’t notice my condition?” Diana asked worriedly.“That’s what I always pray for,” she replied genuinely.Diana smiled and hugged the girl. Without her, she would certainly have no one else to lean on. She thought of a way to get out today. She has to go out to eat what she has been craving for a while now. As long as she does not eat any sour foods, she continues to throw up.In the living room, Vincent grinned after putting down the cellphone.“What’s the next plan, grandpa?” Vans asked as he approached his grandfather.“Let’s get ready bec
At dinner time, Mauro’s family arrived at Vincent’s mansion. They brought foods with them and people who will take care of the catering.“You shouldn’t have bothered bringing food.” Vincent smiled and shook Kobe’s hand.“This is a tradition in our culture,” Kobe replied formally to the old man.There seemed to be a big event inside the mansion when the meals were served. And right after the food was served, the staff also left.Mauro looked around when they entered the dining room. They will eat first before talking about the wedding between him and Diana.“My granddaughter is coming down,” Vincent informed when he noticed Mauro’s gaze, as if he were looking for something.Diana slowly went down the stairs even though she knew Mauro was already there with his family. She doesn’t know, but she doesn’t seem to want to see the young man, and it irritates her even just thinking about him. She was also sleepy, and Meashelle just woke her up earlier.Mauro frowned when he saw Diana. It look
“Mauro, don’t be angry with her anymore. I’ll be the one to adjust so that our friendship doesn’t break.” She clung tightly to Mauro’s arm, and she acted as if she were falling.“No, she should have known by now that she can’t treat you like this if she wants us to have a good relationship in the future!” Mauro said firmly, staring intently at Diana.Diana’s lips pressed firmly together, and she tried to remind herself that she shouldn’t be hurt in the first place. She should not be angry and disappointed with Mauro. Above all, she didn’t need to explain, and she let him just look at her like that. She knows that he won’t believe her, so she shouldn’t show her real emotions. The expression she showed at the two was blank, and her mouth remained closed.Mauro was only irritated when Diana remained silent and he couldn’t read what was on her mind. He led his friend out of the dining room and left Diana.A strange smile appeared on Denise’s lips when she looked back at Diana. She showed
Mauro just waited for his father to return before starting to talk about his marriage with Diana again.“Hija, when do you want to set the wedding and where?” Beth asked Diana.Diana was about to open her mouth, but Mauro preceded her to speak.“A simple wedding would be enough because you are in a hurry. Also, I don’t want many people to know about the wedding.”It was like a needle pierced Diana’s heart when she heard what Mauro said. It’s as if he said that he was ashamed of her as his wife, so he didn’t want people to know her. She would have answered the same, that she wanted a simple wedding ceremony. It’s just more painful to hear it from the mouth of the man she loves.“No way. Diana is my only granddaughter, and I want her to experience a fancy wedding! We have our own money; if it's because of the expenses, I’ll take care of it!” Vincent objected.Kobe sighed, and there will be another misunderstanding. “Señor, money is not a problem here!”“Grandpa, it’s alright. Mauro has
Fate 2Chapter 16: RingThe next day, Mauro’s driver picked Diana up after nine in the morning. She did not ask where the young man was. She’s still with Meashelle because it was what her grandfather wants, which is in her favor.“Why were we brought here?” Meashelle asked while looking up at a large and tall building.“This is where Mauro’s family’s company is,” Diana answered shortly before taking another bite of the mango. When she looked at the driver, his face could no longer be painted, and he was feeling sour from what she was eating.“I thought we were going to a jewelry shop and—”“Sir Mauro had something important to go to, so he’s not here yet. It was Sir Kobe who ordered that Ma’am Diana be brought here first,” the driver’s quick explanation.Meashelle glared at the driver and did not let her finish speaking. But he just smiled at her. She quickly put the other mangoes aside and put them in the bag she was carrying so that Diana could eat them again later.Diana hurriedly
“Sir, try to put the ring on your fiancée’s finger to see if it fits her,” the saleswoman suggested while looking at Denise.Without a word, Mauro took the ring from the saleswoman and approached Diana. He carelessly took her palm to put the ring on her finger.Diana held herself not to moan in pain when Mauro carelessly grabbed her swollen hand. She withdrew her hand from his grasp, but he only tightened it so much that she was already shrugging.Mauro frowned and stared at the girl’s face. She was obviously hurt, and her lips pressed together tightly. When he looked at the back of her palm again, he noticed that it was red.Diana quickly withdrew her hand and moved it away from the young man. “I will measure it myself.” She extended her right palm in front of him.“What happened to your hand?” Instead, he asked the girl and did not give her the ring.“Nothing,” she responded coldly to Mauro and kept her palm open.Mauro sighed, and the woman’s behavior really changed. It’s like she
“Oh, eat this to get rid of your anger.” Meashelle gave a slice of mango to the girl as they walked to the entrance of the store.Diana immediately took a bite of it. She was about to ask for one more slice when she noticed two people looking intently at her. She slowly chewed what was in her mouth and continued to walk slowly.“Are they waiting for us?” Meashelle asked Diana in a whisper.Diana shrugged as she looked straight at Mauro. Well, he couldn’t see her eyes because she was wearing dark shades. He frowned again while looking at her. Her mouth was still full of mango slices, and she didn’t want to finish it right away. She is still enjoying the taste of the mango juice. She anchored on Meashelle’s arm, and when they were close to Mauro and Denise, they hurriedly past them.“Where are you going?” Mauro asked Diana sternly.“Going home.” She answered the young man in a muffled way because her mouth was still full and she didn’t bother to look at him.Mauro quickly chased after t
Ben’s jaws clenched as he darted a furious look at Jackie. He could not imagine that Zion was the husband of the woman he behaved badly at. If he only knew from the beginning, he would not have planned to throw worse things against that woman again.The four women and four male friends of Dave quickly gathered on the other side when they saw Zion.Zion never became furious until this incident happened. And there is only one person he had to blame—none other than the person who invited Liza. He approached the man. And knock him down. “You son of a bitch! Why don’t you face me now? Show me your courage, you jerk!”Ben quickly wiped the blood on his lip from the man’s strong blow. “Sir, sorry! I didn’t know you were her husband. Please forgive me, and I promise that it will never happen again!”Instead of answering, Zion kicked the man in the stomach. “Motherfucker, who plans all this against my wife?”Jackie looked pale out of fear and hid herself behind their other companions. Zion’s a
“Sir, this way.” A man, who was obviously waiting for them to arrive, greeted them.Zion almost ran into the VIP room where, reportedly, there was a commotion. They were following the manager, and he was stunned in his stance when he saw what the room looked like. He immediately saw his wife, who seemed to have struggled with the wine bottle against a man.“Sir, this woman is the one who made this mess. She wants to break all the drinks here, and I’m stopping her,” Ben explained to the manager.Alexa still didn’t want to let go of the wine bottle even though she knew someone could save her. “Don’t believe him, sir. They are addicts, and they want to exploit me!”Right at that moment, Zion realized what happened to his wife. He angrily pushed the manager out of the door, and he entered.Alexa’s eyes widened when she saw her husband. She quickly let go of the bottle and raised her hands as if surrendering. “Babe, I’m not guilty! They force me to drink!”Jackie stared at Zion when she sa
From Alexa’s sharp gaze to Jackie, she slowly got up and smiled at Ben. “You really want me to drink that, yeah?”Suddenly, the smile on Jackie’s lips was slowly vanishing. She was not pleased by Alexa’s naughtiness in talking to Ben. But she brushes her thoughts away and waits.The aura of Ben’s face cleared, and he smiled. “I thought you were not easy to talk to. Don’t worry, and I’ll make sure you don’t regret going to this party.” A malicious smile formed on the man’s lips.Alexa smiled and took the glass with wine in it from the man’s hand. The man intentionally touched her finger, but she just let him.Jackie smiled again when Alexa turned around to face her as she drank the wine. She almost consumed the contents of the glass, which satisfied her. Everyone applauded, and the girls cheered. She grinned and was about to applaud at Alexa as well, but she didn’t expect what she did next.“Holy crap!” Men exclaimed in chorus.“Ewww!” The women disgustedly exclaimed too, looking unbel
“What is that woman doing here?” Liza asked her cousin.“Why are you asking me? I don’t know the celebrant either. Ask your boyfriend instead,” she replied to Liza’s question as she remained staring at Jackie.Liza didn’t entertain her cousin’s philosophical response. They need to sit between the two men.“Hi, what’s your name?” The man asked Alexa.Alexa ignored the man next to her. If you are looking at them, they seem like partners, so do Liza and the man next to her. When she glanced at Jackie, she smiled at her beautifully. She started to feel something fishy. And because she was busy looking at Jackie, she didn’t notice her cousin now drinking alcohol.“Hey, here’s your drink.” Ben reached for a wine glass to hand to Alexa.“Thanks, but I don’t drink.” Alexa refused the man’s offer.“Oh, come on, no one has refused my offer. It’s your first time in this place, so you can’t refuse me,” Ben insisted.Alexa’s ears perked up after hearing what the man said, especially when everyone
Zion’s forehead crumpled when his cellphone rang again. The tone indicated that there was a new text message. He looked at his wristwatch. It’s still early, and he intended to finish reading and signing the documents that were now piled up while his wife was busy at the party. He was planning to go on vacation with Alexa, so he has to finish his office work as soon as possible. When his cellphone rang again, he looked at it.“Babe, I miss you!” He smiled after reading Alexa’s first message. The next one was ‘I love yous,’ so he smiled even more. But when he received another new message, a smile on his lips abruptly vanished.She giggled when she read Zion’s reply. “Stop being naughty, baby. Reduce your lipstick.”Alexa faced the mirror after reading her husband’s message. She sent him a picture of herself while pouting, and her husband only noticed her lipstick. Her lips were normally red even without lipstick, but now they look seductive.Zion quickly called his wife through video ca
When Alexa read what everyone had in mind while they were looking at her and Liza flabbergastedly, she wanted to laugh. Normally, they will react like that—because after the internship, they became friends. And since their classmates compare them to dogs and cats, it was a shocking revelation!“Huh! Why wonder? Family relationships are stronger than all others,” said Loida.“Alexa is richer than she is, so she friended her,” Dina agreed.“Come on, don’t mind them.” Liza stopped Alexa when she tried to rush the woman. It was just ridiculous. Her situation and Alexa’s reversed: the one who used to be bullied and oppressed now looks like her protector.“You’re right, I’m richer, so you should shut your mouth, and I might have put coins in it!” Alexa even widened her eyes at Dina, who immediately calmed down.Liza had just shaken her head over her cousin’s straightforwardness. To the ears of people with secret anger and envy toward Alexa, she sounded boastful. But since her mindset has ch
Alexa’s way of walking towards Liza and her companion is like a bull that will rush to the enemy. When Liza saw her, she seemed to see a ghost and immediately let go of embracing Dave.“Liza, why are you still talking to that guy? Don’t tell me you are going to let that jerk fool you again,” Alexa said angrily to her cousin.“Alexa, it’s just…” Liza didn’t know how to explain to her cousin in a way that she would not be angry.“Alexa, can’t you still move on from me, and you don’t want me to be with your cousin?” Dave asked the woman sadly.Alexa looked at the man disgustedly and acted as if she was going to vomit. “Dave, it looks like the wind in your head is growing. Have you ever had a psychiatrist check up on you?”Even if he felt so annoyed, the expression on Dave’s face remained sad. He looks at his girlfriend pityingly.Liza quickly approached her cousin and pleaded with her. “Alexa, he apologized to me and wanted to make it up to me.”“Have you forgiven him that easily after d
“You know what, it’s just a girl’s advice. Don’t force yourself on a man who doesn’t love you. Even if you attract him, you can only get his body and cum. Your relationship will not be as perfect as you could have dreamed of, especially when it’s out of horniness.Jackie’s cheeks were red with embarrassment and anger. She was embarrassed even though Alexa didn’t know what she had done last night and who was with her.“Maybe it’s clear to you that Zion is only mine, right? So when you try to rob him, I don’t just do what I’ve done to you. I’m selfish when it comes to my loved one. Take everything and my money, but not Zion.” Alexa even widened her eyes to threaten Jackie.“Stay away from me!”Alexa laughed; the woman was shooing her away, but she was also the one who was stepping closer to her. Threatening the woman worked effectively. Such dialogues are really from the dramas she watches; she remembers them, and she has used them now. She was proud as she turned away from Jackie and w
Dave smiled and approached Jackie, offering his hand for a handshake. “Do I still need to introduce myself to you?”Jackie smiled and accepted the young man’s handshake. When he squeezed her palm, a strange smile on her lips slid down.“I’ll give you a ride, and let’s not talk here.” Dave never let go of the girl’s palm.Jackie followed the young man. She didn’t bring her car since she was with Jenny earlier. She never asked where he was going to take her. She knew him, and she knew he was Liza’s former boyfriend. And because she was also annoyed with that woman, she thought she would include her in her revenge.Dave brought Jackie to a nightclub. While planning, they drank wine until they were both drunk.Jackie didn’t know where Dave had brought her. All she could know was that they were both naked and he was lying over her. She wanted to push him, but the young man was stronger than her. The drunkenness she felt lessened because she had no plans to use her body. Again, she pushed h
