Mauro was restless while waiting for a call from one of his staff that he ordered to find Diana.“Tsk, can you just sit down?” Kobe was irritated with his son. He is the one who is dizzy because, after sitting down, he will immediately stand up and then walk back and forth in front of them.Mauro didn’t seem to hear anything and continued walking while holding his right hand on his neck. And his other hand is holding a cell phone and looking at it from time to time. “What the fuck?” He exclaimed when suddenly a cushion flew out, but he just dodged to avoid it.“I’ve been reprimanding you for a while, but you seem deaf,” Kobe sneered at his son.Mauro sighed before looking at Stella. “Did you think of somewhere Diana could go to or someone else she could go with?” He asked his friend.“Right!”Everyone looked at Kobe in shock because of his sudden shout.“Why did I just think of it now?” Kobe asked interrogatively.“Which one, Dad?” Mauro asked impatiently, then hurried to his father.
“Aunty, can I borrow your cell phone? I just want to call my mom.”Beth didn’t ask any more questions to Denise, and she just let the woman borrow her phone. She also saw that her cell phone was out of charge. They are obliged to take care of her now because the girl’s parents are in another country.“I’m just going to use the bathroom.” Beth said goodbye and left the girl holding her cell phone.Denise nodded at the lady with a smile. Her departure is in her favor. She immediately dialed Mauro’s number instead of her parents.Mauro stopped walking when he saw who the caller was. He immediately answered the call and hoped that she had good news. “Yes, Mom?”“Mauro, it’s me.”Mauro was stunned when he heard his friend’s voice. He wasn’t expecting her to call him.“I borrowed a cell phone from your mom because my phone has no charge. How are you? I heard that Diana is missing. How true?” The concern in Denise’s voice was ovbious.“I’m okay; I’m sorry if I can’t visit you there anymore.”
When Stella and Charles arrived at her cousin’s house, a servant greeted them.“Ma’am, I’m sorry, but Sir Vans called, and we are forbidden to let anyone in or receive visitors.” The assistant apologizes.“I would like to talk to Diana,” Stella said. She will take risks, and Diana might go back there.“I’m sorry, ma’am, but Señorita Diana hasn’t been coming home since she got married.”Stella sighed and looked at the house from the open gate.“If Diana wasn’t there, then can we talk to Meashelle?” It was Charles who spoke.“Huh?” The servant looked deaf and surprised.“We were just going to ask her something.” Charles smiled at the assistant.“I’m sorry, but on the day of Ma’am Diana’s wedding, Meashelle had also asked permission to leave here.”Mauro and Stella looked at each other. The assistant also seemed to be in a hurry and was afraid to face them for a long time.“I’m sorry, ma’am, sir, but if you don’t need anything else, I’ll close the gate,” the assistant said politely.“Wai
Mauro quickly traveled with his father in the car after getting the location given by the taxi driver. Charles was also able to follow them, and his investigating staff was already there first.Charles and Mauro arrived at the bus terminal almost at the same time. The two men immediately approached Mauro when they saw him.“Sir, we have asked if they have seen the woman you are looking for. But there is no record of them having this name.”“That’s bullshit; how come there isn’t?” Mauro growled angrily at the man.“We looked at the surveillance camera and saw her take a taxi again.”Mauro tugged at his own hair in frustration. He thought that he would be able to determine the location that his wife went to today.“Son, we can find her too.” Kobe tapped his son on the shoulder.“I’ll go ahead and leave my staff with you to help search for Diana. I have to go home and maybe what my wife is doing and get tired.” Charles said goodbye to the two.“Thank you; I’ll call you when I need more h
“Ma’am, what are we going to do now that we can’t follow them?” The man asked Denise.“Just stand by there first, and I’ll take care of it so you can follow them again.” Denise spoke calmly to her staff.After hanging up, Denise dialed the number again with a smile. She called her friend to say hello.Mauro was cursing when his car stopped into a dangerous area. His engine smoked and needed water. Being so busy thinking about his wife, he also lost his mind to gas up the car. Fortunately, the surroundings are quite bright.“Sir, get in my car first, and my companion will be here,” Jules suggested. They cannot neglect the young man, and it is their responsibility.Without saying a word, Mauro got into Jules’ car. They had to find a gas station and a mechanic to check on his car.“Sir, your phone is ringing.” Jules commented and noticed that the young man did not answer.Mauro seemed to realize that he looked at the cellphone that was placed on the dashboard. They are still on the road
“How is your investigation going? Have you found which barangay my wife went to?” Mauro asked Jules impatiently.Yesterday, they arrived in a town in Samar and checked in at the hotel. They learned that his wife had gone to that town from the port of the ship. They can no longer trace the exact location of his wife because there is no surveillance camera there anymore. They also talked to the driver of the car she was riding in, but it could not remember the exact barangay where each of his passengers dropped off.“Sir, my companion was in a place, and there was a rumor that someone had arrived there, and the men were making a fuss.”Mauro stood up violently from his seat, and his nostrils almost got bigger. “Take me there, right now!” He ordered.Jules scratched his head even though it didn’t itch. He will bring Mauro to that place, but he was even leading him.During the trip, the aura of Mauro’s face was already dark. Even though he has not confirmed that his wife is in that barang
Diana woke up because of the noise outside. When he looked out the window, the sun had set. She slept longer again because of her pregnancy. She has been sleepy ever since she got pregnant. But she can’t just be like this; she and Meashelle must have a source of income while she hasn’t given birth yet.“Diana, there’s your suitor again,” Meashelle called her friend.Diana shook her head. It looks like Ronald even brought a companion, and someone was playing the guitar while he was singing. She didn’t brush her hair and just pinned it up before getting off the bed and leaving the room.“Sir, control yourself first.” Jules held Mauro tightly by the arm.“How can I calm down if I see what that man is doing in front of my wife’s house?” Mauro whined as he pointed at the five men.“Sir, Loid is coming with the flower. It’s better that you watch what your rival does first so that you can get an idea of what you should do to make your wife happy later,” Jules’ advice.Mauro is still staring
“Sir, are you ready?” Jules asked Mauro as they approached Diana’s house.Mauro looked at the people there who had also turned around and were looking forward to what he would do. He is not used to this, but he has to do it for his wife. “Are you sure that what you thought of is going to work?”An hesitant smile formed on Jules’ lips before nodding. Because the reason why they will serenading now is a different kind of case.Diana had just sat down when they heard the noise outside the house again. They hear people’s voices as if they are excited. She just ignored that and faced Ronald.“Sorry if I’m stubborn.” Ronald immediately apologized to the girl.“Ronald, thank you for your love if that’s how you feel about me. But I’m sorry, I walked away from the first man I loved not to find someone else to love. The wound in my heart is still not healed, so turn your feelings to someone else.”“I’m willing to wait, and I just fell in love like this, so I won’t give up on you,” Ronald refuse
Alexa sighed. She doesn’t want them to think she was unfair. And she won because her parents-in-law and her husband were there. “Even if you haven’t slipped in confessing, I can prove that you have a worse attitude and you insulted my personality earlier.” She smiled and pulled out her cellphone. Everyone was surprised. And it seemed like a threat to them.Jen’s knees suddenly weakened when Alexa played the audio recorder. She could hear her voice while she was insulting the woman.Rita was embarrassed and bowed her head as her voice echoed in the audio. She even ordered the guard not to let the woman enter again. She could feel Zion’s sharp gaze on her, and she knew that the man was furious at her now. At this time, she prefers to be like a bubble.“Who called my daughter-in-law my husband’s mistress?” Stella’s eyes flickered as she looked at everyone there. She has never been scandalous, especially in her company, but after hearing the audio record, her horn really came out. She wan
“No need! I know you’re ashamed of me now because I look ridiculous here and am just making up a story to be embarrassed.” She looked up at Zion sharply and wanted to scratch him in the face because she was so annoyed.Zion clenched his fist, holding his emotion. He was more hurt by how his wife is acting now than by accusing him. He’d like to approach her again, but she shook him away.“Do you believe in that woman who claimed you to be her fiancé?” She pointed to Rita. She was shaking out her annoyance.“Hija, calm down. That’s—” Stella paused when the woman sobbed. She suddenly hugged Charles.“Dad, you believe me, right?” She sounds pathetic, but there is this mixture of emotion inside her, which she couldn’t understand.Charles glanced at the woman’s face pityingly. She looked like a bullied kid. “Yes, hija. Don’t cry anymore. Don’t worry, and I’ll get rid of the liars!”Jen got pale and scared that when the chairman had proven she was one among those lying, she would surely get
Everyone was quiet again when they saw the chairman’s wife, and she was obviously furious. They are no longer wondering or surprised why they see that aura in the lady’s face. It is also right that the CEO has arrived and gotten closer to his mother.Rita quickly moved. She almost ran to Zion before greeting the lady. “Zion, have you been here in a while now?”Zion was unable to avoid his arm when Rita clung to it. When he looked at his mother, she was obviously furious, and she seemed to know that his wife was upset with him.Rita smiled even though the man didn’t answer her. She turned her gaze to the lady. “Aunt, is there a problem?”Stella tried to smile at the woman. She was about to answer when she saw her daughter-in-law, along with her husband, coming.“Seriously, she really has the guts and is proud to come out to show all of us how much the chairman loved her,” Jen whispered and couldn’t believe it while looking at the hand of the woman anchoring the gentleman’s arm.Rita he
“I’m so sorry, sir. I didn’t know he was your wife.” The security guard’s head slightly bowed. He couldn’t avoid being fearful of losing his job because of this misunderstanding incident.“Let’s talk later!” Zion gave him a cold look before passing him. He quickly followed his wife and his father.Everyone’s judgmental gazes followed the chairman and his female companion. They were not expecting that the woman was so valuable to the gentleman’s life.“That woman will definitely report that Ma’am Rita has bullied her!” said an employee.“Even though she will complain or report, she was just a mistress, and it was certain that the chairman’s wife would side with Ma’am Rita,” said another employee.Other employees agreed. Each of them gave opinions, and all of their opinions turned out negative. But they were quiet when they saw the CEO coming.“That woman will be screwed up, and the CEO will see her!” The lady employee whispered, grinning.Zion looked at the employees. They seemed to be
“Honey, you should take care of her like a baby because of her delicate conception. Give her whatever she wants from you.”“Okay, I’ll look for her, and maybe she’s jealous of what she heard earlier.”Stella’s eyes widened after hearing her husband’s story. She wasn't expecting that Rita had the guts to demand anything from her son. If she were in Alexa’s position, she would be jealous. She went to the room and put on a new outfit. She has to follow her daughter-in-law. She is genuinely afraid that something might happen to her because of jealousy. The trip was rapid since the company’s location was nearby.When Charles got out of the office, he couldn’t find anyone in the hallway. Everyone appeared to be busy with their work, which is obviously a matter since it’s still work hours. She was about to go to her son’s office to find out if his rebellious daughter-in-law was there.“Hello, Mr. Chairman.” Jen slightly bowed her head when she saw the gentleman.“Did you notice the girl I wa
“Are you Zion’s fiancée?”Rita felt insulted by the woman’s question, and she didn’t seem to believe that she was Zion’s fiancée.“What kind of question is that, Miss?” Jen asked Alexa anxiously.“Is there something wrong with my question?” Alexa replied with another question, seeming entertained with the woman she had been talking to.“Bitch, it is obvious that you are just a new stranger from the province and you don’t know me. Now that you know what my role is in the chairman’s family, maybe you know how to be scared?” Rita looked down at the woman.“Ohhh, I’m sorry to hear that. But I just know now that Zion has a fiancée here at the company. But did you also know Zion is married?” Alexa smiled at Rita.Rita clenched her right palm and darted an irritating gaze at the woman. She thinks the woman has no knowledge of Zion’s real life. She stared at the woman intently; she should not be terrified of her because she seemed to be just guessing. She would not let her be embarrassed in f
“Oh my God, why didn’t I notice right away?” Stella even slapped her forehead.“Are you all right, Mom?” Jenny suddenly worried about her mother because she seemed weird too.Stella was stunned for a moment and darted her daughter an annoying look. “What kind of question is that, Jenny?”Jenny tried to smile as she shook her head. “Sorry, Mom, shouldn’t you be upset or jealous?”Stella smiled at her daughter. “Hija, don’t think negatively about your sister-in-law and your father.”“Why not?”“When I got pregnant with you, I was the same as Alexa; I was always ill-tempered to your daddy because he prefers someone else with him instead of being around me.”Jenny’s eyes widened and glistened with joy. “Am I going to have a nephew or a niece?”“Shhhh!” Stella signaled to her daughter not to be noisy. “We need to confirm it first. And don’t tell Alexa that we have a suspicion, ’cause I don’t want her to feel upset.”“Huh? Why is she going to be upset?” Jenny’s puzzled question.“Daughter,
“Congratulations, hija, we are so proud of you!” Stella was thrilled, and she embraced Alexa as she went down the stage after giving an inspirational speech as a Summa Cum Laude who completed the BSA course.“Thank you, Mom! Thanks for accepting me into your family!” She held her emotion because she hates crying in front of the crowd.Stella smiled and kissed the woman on both cheeks. Her children are also smart, but their grades are not as high as Alexa’s remarks in her graduation.Lourdes cried as she embraced her daughter and was overjoyed. She has nothing else to ask for Alexa now but her happiness for the rest of her life with the man she loves.Liza and her mother smiled at Alexa. Instead of being jealous, which is often the case, Liza’s feelings have changed. She is proud to say now that she is Alexa’s cousin. And she is proud of her achievements as well. She had gone through a lot, but she survived it.Simon was also very pleased with the achievement of her other granddaughter
“Give me your car keys.” The man holding a weapon forced Dave to get the key out of his pocket.“Hey, boss, maybe we can talk about it first? If you need money, I will give it to you right now.” Dave begged the two strangers.Another man pushed Dave into his car. “Don’t talk too much, punk! Get in the car now!”Dave cursed silently because he was about to hit the car door. He didn’t know whether the two were a carnapper or a kidnapper, but he was sure they were not kind people. The man who pushed him got inside and sat down next to him. His companion is in the driver’s seat.“Where are you taking me? If you want to get my car, I will give it to you; just don’t hurt me.” Dave pleaded again to the two.“Fool, we don’t need your car and money. After what we do to you, you will definitely act nicely in the future.” The man next to Dave grinned after speaking.Nervousness was clear on Dave’s face. “Bosses, it’s like you’re sorry. I want to live more!”“I wish you had thought of that before
