“Aunty, uncle, let us explain!” Even though her hips and legs hurt, Denise stepped closer to the lady.“There is no need to explain because everything is clear to us!” Beth refused and was angry with Denise.From hugging the lady, a strange smile formed on Diana’s lips when her eyes met with Denise’s. Somehow, she is happy because the role of her rival in Mauro’s family has decreased.“What’s going on with you, Mauro? You did your lewdness here in my house? It’s like you even insulted your mother!" Kobe snorted at his son.Denise flinched in her stand and was afraid of Mauro’s father. She never thought that the situation would be reversed and that her friend’s family would be angry with her. She turned to her friend and looked at him for help, but it looked like he wasn’t happy with her either.“Mom, Dad, let Diana and I talk first.” Mauro calmly pleaded with his parents.“There’s no need. I have already accepted that you don’t love me and have no intention of loving me. Just tell tha
“Grandpa, I’m sorry! I have to do this so that you won’t hurt other people anymore. I love you, grandpa, so I’m going to do it. As long as you are strong and have power in the company, the life of my child in the future will be in danger.” Diana continued to cry while taking out what looked like a perfume from her bag.Vincent’s eyes widened as he shook his head. He now sees his granddaughter as a different person.“You know what kind of perfume this is, right?” Diana smiled and brought the stuff she was holding closer to her grandfather’s face. That was what her grandfather used to kill Stella’s father.“No! If you do that, your brother will definitely make you pay, and you will go to jail!” Vincent tightened his grip on the armchair while not taking his eyes off his granddaughter, who continued to cry.Diana wiped the tears from her eyes and looked sadly at her grandfather. “They won’t think that I did something bad to you, grandpa. It will appear that you had a heart attack because
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
“Grandpa, I’m sorry! I have to do this so that you won’t hurt other people anymore. I love you, grandpa, so I’m going to do it. As long as you are strong and have power in the company, the life of my child in the future will be in danger.” Diana continued to cry while taking out what looked like a perfume from her bag.Vincent’s eyes widened as he shook his head. He now sees his granddaughter as a different person.“You know what kind of perfume this is, right?” Diana smiled and brought the stuff she was holding closer to her grandfather’s face. That was what her grandfather used to kill Stella’s father.“No!

“Aunty, uncle, let us explain!” Even though her hips and legs hurt, Denise stepped closer to the lady.“There is no need to explain because everything is clear to us!” Beth refused and was angry with Denise.From hugging the lady, a strange smile formed on Diana’s lips when her eyes met with Denise’s. Somehow, she is happy because the role of her rival in Mauro’s family has decreased.“What’s going on with you, Mauro? You did your lewdness here in my house? It’s like you even insulted your mother!" Kobe snorted at his son.Denise flinched in her stand and was afraid of Mauro’s father. She never thought that the situation would be reversed and that her friend’s family would be angry with her. She turned to her friend and looked at him for help, but it looked like he wasn’t happy with her either.“Mom, Dad, let Diana and I talk first.” Mauro calmly pleaded with his parents.“There’s no need. I have already accepted that you don’t love me and have no intention of loving me. Just tell tha
When Diana left the room, she immediately saw Denise. It seems that she is deliberately revealing to her what she is wearing.“Good morning. How was your sleep last night?” Denise greeted Diana, but her smile was teasing her.“I slept well; isn’t it obvious to my eyes?” Diana widened her eyes to look like she had overslept.Denise grinned and ignored Diana’s philosophical reply. “How does it feel to have another woman with your husband on the first night of your marriage?”Diana’s lips pressed hard, but she remained calm. She sees her old self in Denise’s personality. Then later on, she smiled sweetly, making the woman frown. “Are you still proud of the fornication you committed? What are you bragging about to me now? That you are the important person in my husband’s life?”The aura of Denise’s face darkened, and she sharpened her gaze at Diana.“Maybe you forget that he only thinks of you as a friend, and he’s just using you too to hurt my feelings. At least I’m aware that he doesn’t
After eating, Diana felt sad again. She locked herself in the room again, and she observed the surroundings silently. Meashelle was the only one she was talking to on her cellphone.“I have already left your grandpa’s house a while ago, and they didn’t seem suspicious because I made the excuse that you were no longer there.”Diana smiled, and Meashelle got away from her family. “Be careful on your trip, sister. I will follow you right away.”“Are you okay there? How are they treating you?” Meashelle asked worriedly.“It’s okay, sister; I liked the food that was served earlier.”“How about Mauro?”Diana was stunned for a moment and did not know what to say to her friend. She also heard her sigh from the other line.“Get out of there as soon as possible because the resentment you will feel will affect your baby. Maybe later on, your child will come out with the face of a hermit and as if it will carry all the burden of the world because you are feeding it with resentment.”Diana laughed
“Hija, welcome home. From now on, treat this home like your home, and don’t hesitate to come to us with your dad if you and your husband have problems.”Diana smiled at the lady and thanked her. She suddenly missed her mother because of her mother-in-law’s presence. She is sad and happy at the same time because she feels that the lady accepts her wholeheartedly, while it was opposite with her son.“Mom, you take care of Diana, and I have something important to do,” Mauro instructed his mother.“Son, today is your honeymoon as couples. Postpone your work for at least a week.” Beth's gentle sermon to her son.“Mom, my work is more important now. Also, honeymoons are only for couples who love each other.”Diana quickly looked away from the lady when she looked at her. She knows that Mauro’s mother feels hurt for her. “Mauro is right, mom. Don’t worry because I’m fine, and I don’t want to travel now either.”Beth sighed before looking at her son. Later, she approached the girl and led her
Stella approached her cousin when she saw her. They are now at the registrar’s office of a well-known judge for their marriage. Up to this day, she can’t believe that this is how simple and only a wedding ceremony that Diana wants. The girl dreams high and is nitpicky, but now her cousin’s behavior has changed so much that she doesn’t even recognize her.“Are you really all right?” Stella asked Diana, sounds worried.“Do I look not okay?” Diana also asked with a frown. She wasn’t feeling well when she woke up earlier, and she didn’t want anyone talking to her right now.If it wasn’t for her wedding now, she had no intention of leaving her room. She was wearing a simple white dress. When she looked at Denise, it looked like she was the one going to get married and was clinging to Mauro’s arm. The bitch really had the guts to show here when, in the first place, this is all about family matters.Stella sighed before looking at Diana’s brother and grandfather. It can be seen on their face
“Shit, what is it again, Diana?” Mauro asked the girl, yelling. It’s a good thing that there was no car following them because he suddenly stepped on the brake.“Sorry, I saw sister Meashelle’s favorite food,” Diana explained like a scolded child.Meashelle immediately got what the girl wanted to convey. “Ahh, that’s right. The truth is that I went with Señorita Diana to buy the food I really loved.”Mauro frowned and looked around to find the diner. But he sees nothing but street vendors.Meashelle looked at Diana questioningly, and she didn’t know what food she wanted to buy for her.Diana first glanced at Mauro. Seeing that his attention was not on them, she immediately whispered to Meashelle, which made her look flustered.Meashelle was suddenly in trouble because of the girl’s wish. She doesn’t know what to do and must tell Mauro so she doesn’t get suspicious.“Are you alright? Why haven’t you come down to buy?” Mauro asked the assistant.Diana elbowed Meashelle in her side. And
“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
