PLAYED BY FATE (English Version) Chapter 1-Pitty
Hasn’t my husband come home yet?” Stella asked the maid as she looked around the living room. She had just woken up, and her husband was not with her. “Huh, why are you looking for your husband from me?” answered the housekeeper bluntly. She pursed her lips and stopped herself from answering the assistant. They are not far apart in age from the woman and if she treats her, it’s like she’s on the same level with her. Well, who will respect her if her own husband and his sister treat her like a servant? Instead of beating the servant’s behavior, Stella decided to go to the kitchen. The maid also does not prepare food for her when her husband is not around. She is only kind to her when Charles, her husband, is around.Marimar followed Stella into the kitchen and told her, “Hurry up there and clean up your mess immediately because Señorita Sophie and Doña Magda are coming.” As if she heard no one, Stella continued to cook the eggs. The assistant was referring to Charles’ sister and st

Stella is lying weakly in the hospital bed. The doctor did not agree that she could not be confined because her condition was dangerous. “Sweetheart, aren’t you going to call your husband so that someone will watch over you?” the doctor said to Stella. Stella tried to smile at the doctor. “I already texted him.” The doctor smiled and nodded at the girl. And felt sorry for the new patient because her body was obviously not taken care of. Stella sighed when the doctor was gone. She stroked her deflated stomach again and, somehow, she smiled. Finally, they will have a child with their husband. Now, there’s a reason for her husband to love her and start their family.Her pregnancy was good and timely. She didn’t know that she was five weeks pregnant. What she needs now is extra care so that the child in her womb does not fall. “Shall I let him know?” Stella quickly looked at the man she had been with earlier and shook her head. “You can go now, I’ll call you when I need your help.”

FateChapter 3 Stella swallowed her own saliva, and it seemed to dry up suddenly before looking directly at Charles. “I just want to know if I had a place in your heart even just a little bit?”The young man looked blankly at Stella. “You know I only married you because of my grandfather. Take the money you after me, so you married me in exchange for my freedom.”Stella tried to suppress a bitter smile forming on her lips. She couldn’t blame her husband because that could be the only thing he had on his mind until now. She had no excuse when she was asked why she wanted to marry him. Her excuse was that she had always dreamed of marrying a rich man. But she was very hurt because Charles had never been able to love her during the three years they had been together.The lawyer was surprised when the girl, without a word, took the pen she was holding and signed the divorce paper. He looked at Charles, but he turned and left them. Both Magda and Sophie stared at Stella in disbelief. The

“Babe, good morning!” Elizabeth greeted the young man enthusiastically when she caught him in the kitchen having coffee. Charles frowned when he saw his ex-girlfriend. He looked around, and it looked like he had gone to the wrong house. “I slept here last night with Sophie. You didn’t want to be disturbed, so I didn’t let you know.” She smiled at the young man as she explained. “Have a seat.” Elizabeth quickly obeyed and sat next to the young man. Now that Stella is gone, it’s her turn to share the young man’s breakfast from today. There was no space for joy anymore in her heart because she felt that Charles was hers again.“Marimar, wake up Stella, so she can have breakfast.” Elizabeth stopped picking up the fork and stared at Charles in disbelief. “Sir, since Ma’am Stella left yesterday she has not returned.” The assistant answered hesitantly. Even if the relationship between the two is not good, Stella cannot be accompanied by food when her boss is there.Charles dropped the

“Still no news?” Charles asked Roy impatiently. “Sorry, sir, I’ve checked all the hotels, even small apartments, but she’s not there.”Charles angrily let go of the pen he was holding and gave the staff a bad look. “Don’t you have any other way to find her and bring her back to the house?”Roy bowed his head. When the tone of the young man’s voice rose to such an extent, he obviously lost patience. He wants Stella to return to the house he gave her before his grandfather arrived. “Get out!” he yelled at the staff again when he couldn’t answer him right.A few days passed and he couldn’t contact Stella. What makes him angry is that she just took the money but did not follow one of the agreements in the deed. Attached to that is that Stella still needed to show up to the old man and help him convince his grandfather that they parted amicably. And he got a divorce without a third wheel to intervene. Charles fell into deep thought and wondered where Stella could go. He wanted to blame

“Now that you are strong, what do you plan to do?” Lauro asked his daughter.Stella smiled and caressed her son’s little cheek before turning to her father. “We’re going to live abroad first. Then, I’ll be back when the agreed time comes.” Lauro stared at his grandson’s face. The boy is handsome and has a sharp nose. It doesn’t seem like the kid got anything from their blood. His daughter still didn’t want to let her grandfather know who her former husband was. And he kept his mouth shut and did not lead his daughter. He loved his only child, so he gave her everything she wanted. His only mistake was letting her live on her own then. It was too late when he found out that she had married a man and that she did not love him.“I’ll fix the documents for the two of you.” “Thank you, Dad! You can visit us there often.” Lauro nodded with a smile before kissing his sleeping grandson on the forehead. He is happy for his daughter because she has someone to be with her until old age. Stell
PLAYED BY FATE (English Version) Chapter 7-Bad news
Stella cried when she received news from the Philippines. Wearily, she sat down on the sofa and slowly turned to look at her grandfather. “What happened? And who are you talking to?” Fausto asked his granddaughter. Stella cried even more and could hardly open her mouth. She opened her mouth several times but no words came out. “Stella, tell me what happened?” Fausto yelled at his granddaughter and was agitated to see her tears. “Grandpa, Daddy is…” Fausto’s jaw dropped and his shoulders slowly slumped. He shook his head while not taking his eyes off his crying granddaughter. “Daddy is gone, grandpa!” She was sobbing.Fausto quickly approached his granddaughter and hugged her tightly. Suddenly, his heart went numb and he couldn’t cry. “Grandpa, what am I going to do now that Daddy is gone? Why is this happening? I was just talking to him, and he was on his way here.” Even her shoulders were shaking from crying. What happened was sudden and she couldn’t accept it. “I’ll go home
PLAYED BY FATE (English Version) Chapter 8-Insult
Elizabeth and Sophie are excited to meet at a branded clothing shop. First, they forgot about finding Stella. Their priority right now is buying a nice dress for the event they will be attending next week. “Do you think she could be our friend?” Sophie asked her friend. “Of course, with this beauty of ours, why couldn’t we? When she becomes our friend, there will definitely be many who will be jealous of us.” Elizabeth’s chest heaved and winked at her friend. What was trending on the news today was all about the granddaughter of the richest business person, not only in their country but abroad as well. It was also in the news that a woman was being choosy towards a friend and was rude.Stella stopped choosing a dress when she heard the two women talking. She knew they were talking about her. The two voices were familiar to her, so she listened to them. She had just returned to the Philippines, but no one else knew except her grandfather. “Miss, are you going to buy it?” the salesl

“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

“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

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

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, 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

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

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

“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

After Stella spoke in the middle of the stage, loud applause echoed around her until the noise gradually subsided.The smile that plastered on the lips of the people who were looking at Stella gradually disappeared and was replaced by surprise as they turned to the person who was the one who was left clapping. The middle crowd spontaneously cleared to see the person standing behind who was continuing to cheer with a wide smile.Charles quickly moved to his wife’s side when he saw Vincent, who was the center of attention for his wife. It looks like he did it on purpose to come late, and he smiled beautifully while still gently clapping.“Sorry for being late. Congratulations to our newly appointed chairman!” Vincent even stretched his arms out as he stared at Stella with a smile.Stella smiled back and approached the old man. “Thank you so much! I thought you wouldn’t come to show me your support,” Stella said meaningfully to the old man. She knew he was faking his smile too.“That won
