While in the car, Diana called her cousin with her hands shaking. It’s a good thing that Meashelle was carrying her cellphone earlier. She now has no one to be close to and trust but Stella.Charles woke up to the noise of his wife’s cellphone. He had no intention of answering it because it was an unknown number, but it didn’t stop ringing. When he remembered that it was his wife’s private phone, he quickly answered the call, and Stella might wake up.“Stella, help us!”Charles’ spirit finally woke up when he recognized Diana’s voice and was crying. “Diana? What’s wrong?”“Charles, someone wants to kill Mauro, and we’re going to the hospital now!”Charles didn’t ask any more questions because the car from the other line was honking loudly. He just asked for the location so he could go to them even at this time of the night.Stella woke up from her deep sleep when she heard her husband talking on the cellphone. “Who called?”“Love, call your pilot right now, and I have to go to Samar.”
Charles waited for the doctor to finish examining Mauro. When he came out with the nurse, he closed the door before approaching Mauro.“I heard what you said earlier.”“I thought you had lost your memory.” Charles relaxed before sitting in the chair next to the hospital bed.“Diana won’t follow you if I don’t pretend,” Mauro groaned, and the wound on his head throbbed when he moved.Charles sighed and helped his friend to lean properly against the headboard. “But I think it’s a good idea to pretend you have amnesia.”Mauro frowned and tried to read the contents of Charles’ mind.“Look, we don’t know who wants your wife to disappear from this world. I’m sure she’s the target of the person who did this to you,” Charles explained.Mauro clenched his fist and couldn’t bear to think that without him, his wife would have died in the fire. “I will never forgive whoever did this!”“The culprit has no intention of leaving the people alive inside the house where you were in because tear gas was
Denise worriedly called Mauro but could not reach him. She is restless and doesn’t know what is really going on. She quickly left the hospital, but she met Mauro’s parents outside.“Aunty, uncle, why are you still here? And what about Mauro? How is he?” Denise questions one after the other.“They are coming in a helicopter, and we are waiting for them,” Kobe answered, and his wife continued to cry. He did not even know what really happened and that his son had a wound.Denise bit the inside of her mouth and became even more worried. “He probably got a wound because he tried to save Diana.” He was talking to herself.“But why is there no news about Diana? Is her body with Mauro when they come home?” Denise asked herself.“Diana, what’s wrong?” Charles asked the woman, noticing that she seemed overwhelmed.Mauro, who was only pretending to be asleep earlier, opened his eyes wide. It was obvious that his wife was pale and her grip on the seat was tight.“Shit, I forgot that Diana has a p
Denise came to Mauro’s parents in tears. “Did I hear right? Mauro has amnesia?”Beth nodded sadly at the girl. “We haven’t talked to him until now because he was taken straight to the operating room.”“How about, Diana, Aunty? What happened to her?” Denise’s face still shows a lot of worry, but inside her, she was furious. She should have been in the operating room and not Mauro.“She only passed out because she has a phobia of air travel, but she will be fine soon.” It was Charles who answered the woman.“She must have been scared by what happened to Mauro. I hope that whoever the animal that did this to my friend is caught!” Denise clenched her fist and felt that Charles was watching her intently.“There are no suspects at the moment, so everyone close to Mauro can be suspected.”“What? Why did you say that someone close to Mauro might be responsible for the fire that happened?” Denise asked Charles in disbelief.“Because they were immediately followed in the province.”“Couldn’t Di
When Mauro opened his eyes, he immediately saw Denise. He looks for Charles and worries for his wife.“Mauro, I am your best friend. Don’t you remember me?” Denise asked the man in tears and held him by the hand.Mauro cursed in his mind and almost forgot that he was only pretending now. He closed his eyes and pretended that he was feeling in pain.“Denise, don’t force yourself on him to remember you because it won’t help.”Denise was embarrassed by what Charles said. She just pretended not to hear anything and didn’t let go of Mauro’s palm.Mauro was forced to open his eyes again and look meaningfully at Charles.“She is your friend and assistant as well at the company,” Charles introduces Denise.“Isn’t there medicine to bring back his memory immediately?” Kobe asked the doctor who was there.Mauro gave his father a blank look. Charles also introduced his father to him as part of his pretending.“I don’t think his amnesia is that severe. And it will help him to live in a familiar pl
“Sweetheart, don’t be too harsh, and maybe our baby will bite you when it comes out.” Charles jokingly scolded his wife.Stella just glared at her husband, and he wanted her to go home, but she didn’t want to. She will wait for her cousin to wake up and talk to her.Denise also glared at Stella and faced the room. She peeked inside again through the small ajar in the door because it was not closed.Beth approached her son and sadly held him in the palm of his hand. “Son, don’t you remember us too?”“I’m sorry, my head hurts when I try to remember.” Mauro is lying, and he knows his wife is awake.“Let’s not force him; the important thing is that he and his wife are both safe.” Kobe consoles his wife, and it hurts to think that their own child will not remember them.“I don’t remember anything, but I don’t want my wife to be separated from me since she is pregnant.”“You thought right, and that’s what I want to happen. Apart from the fact that she’s pregnant, she can’t be returned to he
Stella rushed into the room where her cousin was when she found out that Denise was also there. When she entered, she immediately noticed the woman, and she was holding an apple.“Stella!” Diana stood up quickly when she saw her cousin.“Hey, easy!” Mauro told off at his wife because she almost ran when she met Stella.Stella smiled and hugged her cousin. “How are you? Don’t run away without saying goodbye to me again, okay?”Diana laughed at what her cousin said. She would like to ask her when a person who is going to run away says goodbye.“Don’t laugh at me!” Stella reprimanded her cousin annoyingly and approached her cousin to whisper. “Why do you let her be the one to take care of Mauro?”Diana smiled and felt that her cousin didn’t like Denise. She thought she was the only one who felt that way. “Calm down; I didn’t become a villain in your life just to be oppressed in my own chapter now.”Stella also smiled and was happy because her cousin was getting back to normal. When she w
After the kiss, it was as if Mauro didn’t care about what happened or if it was normal. Diana was also unable to be angry with the man because she was his wife. Another thing is that she also likes the new Mauro now. It makes her feel that she is important in his life and that he loves her.A day passed, and Diana was discharged. Mauro didn’t want to be left in the hospital, so he was allowed to leave. Before going home with Mauro, she begged him to let her visit her grandfather, who is still confined to the hospital.“I’ll go with your wife,” Charles stopped Mauro, who struggled to accompany his wife.“But—”“My brother is still mad at me, so it’s not good for him to see you now. Also, your body is still weak,” said Diana to her husband.“Leave your wife alone to face her own family. Don’t worry, our man has taken care of her.”Mauro nodded to his father and let his wife go. But he didn’t leave and waited in the waiting area because he was still in a wheelchair.Diana burst into tear
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
