Diana quickly sorted herself out when she heard that her brother and grandfather had returned home. After a while, her brother entered her room.“How are you feeling?”“I’m fine,” she answered flatly to her brother.She didn’t flinch when her brother touched her chin and examined her cheeks. He ensures that there is no trace of their violence on her face. Next, he looked at her arm. There is a scar there that is noticeable when cream is not applied.“From now on, when you go out, you will wear longsleeve clothes so that they won’t notice what’s on your shoulder. If you’re going to wear sleeveless, make sure you put cream on it.”She didn’t answer her brother and just let him check on her skin.“Get ready next week, and you will attend the event that will be held at the company. Don’t make a mistake this time because that man’s life will be the price if you repeat the mistake you made before.”Diana’s teeth gritted, but her expression remained blank. She shot a cold look at her brother
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
“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
“My husband is damn handsome, isn’t he?” Alexa smiled at her cousin.Liza quickly looked away from Zion’s body. She could not imagine that despite what he was wearing, his handsomeness still appeared. He looks super hot, and she gets envious with her cousin. If her cousin’s wedding to Dave had been successful, she might be Zion’s girlfriend or wife now.“He is mine, and only mine! All about him is also mine, and I don’t want to have a rival.” Alexa emphasized every word she uttered.Liza stared at her cousin angrily. Fortunately, Zion entered their grandfather’s room to change. “Let’s see how long Zion will love you.”She also stared at Liza badly. “Don’t make the mistake of dreaming of having my husband, Liza, because I’m really going to beat you up and make you bald! You should be contented with your pervert boyfriend!”Liza was very upset, and the anger she felt for Alexa only increased. “It’s your fault Dave was fired from his job, so I’ll make you pay back!”“You know what? You’r
After entering the room, Alexa immediately hugged her husband. But instead of being sweet with her, she instead received a sermon from him.“Babe, don’t repeat what you did earlier when you left without saying goodbye and even left your cellphone behind.”Alexa pouted. “Babe, don’t be angry. I forgot to call you back earlier because I was in a hurry to come here to get home right away. I want to get my inheritance from Grandpa so I can slap your woman’s father with it.”Zion frowned and remembered what the old man said earlier. “Who insulted your personality earlier?”“I don’t know him, but he said that he knows your family personally and that he is the father of the woman you are destined to marry.” Alexa suddenly frowned and sulked at the man because he has another woman.“That bastard! How dare he brag about himself and tell you about his daughter!”Alexa frowned even more and spoke badly of her husband. “Babe, slow down!”Zion’s forehead still didn’t flatten even though his wife l
“Go inside and coax your wife. But you should stay here overnight, and I want to be with my granddaughter too.”“Thank you very much for understanding, Grandpa.” Zion stepped forward first and entered the house.When Alexa saw her husband, she jumped down from the high leg stool where she was sitting. “Babe, how did you know I was here?”“Why did you leave the company and leave your bag in my office with your cellphone?” Zion asked his wife, sounding angry.“I don’t know where the way back to your office from the exclusive room is. Then when I went out the door, another man met me, and he was angry.”“Wait, you own the company that my grandchildren have joined as interns?” Simon asked the young man in shock.Alexa’s eyes widened. She doesn’t want anyone else to know about her husband’s true personality, especially her family. Not that she’s embarrassed or anything. But maybe they will take advantage of Zion’s kindness. She knew her grandfather; he didn’t just have business on his mind
Dave left where he parked his car when he couldn’t spot Alexa. Now that he knows where the woman lives, it’s easy for him to make his plan.At the villa, Simon is surprised to see his granddaughter, and it looks like she’s about to cry. “What happened? Where is your husband?”Lourdes is also worried that she approached her daughter because of her sudden arrival.“Grandpa, they are so bad!”“Who?” Simon and Lourdes asked at the same time.“The family of the woman who likes Zion!” Alexa sat down on the sofa.“What? Zion has another woman?” Simon asked angrily.“Someone likes him, and it’s not a woman.” Alexa’s correction.“Then why are you getting affected by them? You should not go home here but to your husband’s, so that you can fight for him.” Simon’s sermon.“Grandpa, they belittled me and told me that I’m not suitable for Zion because I’m poor. This is your fault, Grandpa!” Alexa’s complained to her grandfather.Lourdes’ eyes widened, worried for what might come out of her daughter
“Are you Ms. Alexa from the marketing department?”Alexa stared at the gentleman for a moment, who seemed to have really waited for her there and waited for her to come out. Judging from his looks, she knew that the gentleman had a high position in the company. “Yes, it’s me, sir. Do you need anything from me?”“I am one of the most respected in the company, and I know the CEO’s family.”Alexa wanted to raise her eyebrows because of the man’s arrogance, but she stopped herself. “What is the connection between my work and your personality, by the way?” She wanted to voice it out, but she chose not to, and the gentleman might cringe.“I just want to tell you to stay away from Mr. Zion; you don’t fit in with him.”Alexa’s ears perked up at what she heard, and she couldn’t stop herself from voicing what was on her mind. “And who’s right for him, you?” She responded sarcastically to the gentleman. And this time, she didn’t want to act politely toward the rude gentleman.“Stupid! I’m not ga
Zion stood up quickly as he picked up his wife and carried her to the long sofa. He can take her to the VIP room, and it has a connecting door to his office. But he wants his wife to experience a different ambiance while they’re having sex. In her naughtiness, he knows that she wants to experience lovemaking inside his office.Alexa didn’t want to lose against her husband. She also hurriedly took off the necktie that her husband was wearing and unbuttoned his full sleeve as well. She also took off what she was wearing. Then, she immediately started licking his chest when it was exposed in front of her. And grabbed his hard cock from his trousers. It felt good, and it was obviously very angry. Kind of snake wanted to bite. While her lips indulged in her husband’s chest, her hand was also busy caressing and squeezing Zion’s cock.“Babe, I don’t have any protection with me today!” Zion’s voice was hoarse as he stroked his wife’s hair. He let her do what she wanted to do with his body.Al
Alexa was unable to speak when her husband sat her down on the long sofa. She could feel his anger too. She wasn’t sure if it was for her or for the woman outside.“Next time, I don’t want you to eat food that is not given to you voluntarily.”Alexa bowed her head in shame and was scolded like a child. “I’m sorry.”Zion sighed and tried to calm himself down. “Babe, I’m not mad at you. I just don’t want someone belittling you and in front of me. We had a lot of money to buy food and—”She hugged the man and tearfully buried her face in his chest again. “I’m sorry, and I’m putting you to shame because I’ve been rational and wasn’t thinking. I just wanted to tease her because if she acts, it's like she’s the boss here.”Zion sighed again and struggled to explain his own feelings in a way that would not hurt his wife. What she doesn’t know is that he is more affected when she is insulted or abused by others. He doesn’t want other people to look down on her. He knows she can defend herself
Alexa stood up in a hurry when she heard the alarm bell, signaling that it was break time. They have fifteen minutes to have a snack.“Alexa, where are you going?” Loida called.“Going to poop, will you come with me?” She even smiled at the woman.“Ewww, you’re disgusting!” Loida quickly moved away from Alexa while waving her hand in the air as if to drive away the bad wind.Alexa just laughed before hurrying to leave. She will go to her husband and maybe the snake coiled around him. She knows which floor and room her husband’s office is.She meets employees in the hallway who stare at her. She ignored them and continued walking. When she opened in front of the elegant glass door, she turned around. There, she caught those who were there also turn to her as if they were recognizing her.When she entered inside, she immediately looked for Jerry, but she saw a different face, and the sleeping dragon in her personality immediately woke up.“Are you here to clean up?” Jackie raised her ey
“Hey, what does that Jackie look like?” Alexa asked the girl next to her.“Jackie?” The woman also answered another question.Alexa nodded, narrowing her eyes tightly.“She’s mean. Most people know her because she interned here once. She’s also arrogant because her father is one of the company’s board of directors.”Alexa pursed her lips. What she had in mind was that the girl has really something to brag about. She suddenly remembered the snob woman earlier. Oh God, just don’t make it the same as the woman who wants to flirt with her husband. If she didn’t have work to do at the moment, she might have rushed to her husband’s office. But she has to be professional. Everyone respects her husband, and they cannot know that she is his wife. She is ashamed of herself; she needs to finish school first so that she can have something to be proud of to everyone as Zion’s wife.When Zion entered the visitor area of the office, Jackie was indeed there. “Do you need anything?” he asked the girl
