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
“Mauro, it looks like you have a bigger problem to deal with now,” Charles said while looking at his cellphone.Mauro quickly grabbed Charles’ cellphone and looked at what he was talking about. “What the heck! Where is the dress I bought for her?”Charles laughed while looking at the reaction on Mauro’s face when he saw the picture of his wife. His wife sent that, and Diana was facing at her, but her gaze was in a different direction. He couldn’t deny Diana’s beautiful body. Well, only his wife is ahead of her for him. But because Diana’s stomach is not yet obvious, many people are attracted to her beauty and think that she is still a young woman, and not married.Mauro’s nose almost started to smoke because of anger. If only he could pull his wife out from the cellphone, he would have done it. It is also visible in the photo those men behind his wife and staring at her. And he doesn’t like those kinds of stares.Charles signaled the driver to drive back to the resort. He also needs t
“Put your hands up and don’t try to fight back because we were now surrounding you!” The leader of the police officers to catch the criminals’s warning.Denise felt her head swell and was afraid to go back inside to find a place to hide. One of her staff moved quickly and approached the tied woman to be used as a hostage. But the woman’s ability to move quickly surprised him, and her hands were no longer tied.The man was not prepared for what the woman pretending to be Diana did. She stood up quickly and grabbed the chair and threw it at the man. After that, she raised a leg and kicked the other man.Denise was no longer able to move on her stance out of shock and fear of the woman she thought at first was Diana. When she turned to her, she abruptly took a step back towards the door. She was suddenly afraid of her, but she ended up in the hands of the police officers.The police immediately handcuffed Denise while he was reading the Miranda Rights to her.“No, let me go! You caught t
Denise was very happy when her staff called her that they had gotten Diana. She immediately prepared to go to the woman in an old warehouse, and her staff took her there.On the beach, Diana was surprised when her husband asked permission that he was leaving first and that Charles was also going with him. When she looked at Stella, it seemed that she didn’t care that her husband was leaving again and leaving them alone there.“Never mind those two, and it looks like there’s new business that they’re being taken care of.” Stella put her arms around her cousin.“What else can I do? With or without amnesia, his business seems more important than mine,” Diana answered in a sullen tone, and only now did she get her thoughts out.“Don’t sulk, and he will make it up for you for sure.” Stella winked at her cousin.Diana frowned at her cousin, and her brain turned green even though they were both pregnant.“Come on, don’t frown there anymore. I know a way to get revenge against those two for l
Stella frowned again when she received her husband’s message. She and Diana were about to go out, and she would accompany her until Mauro arrived.“Is there a problem?” Diana asked her cousin.Stella smiled and shook her head. She didn’t know why her husband was ordering her, but she obeyed anyway. “Come with me, and I have to use the comfort room first.”Since Diana also suddenly felt like peeing, so she stood up and followed Stella. After entering the comfort room, she first entered a cubicle.Stella had just washed her hands and was just drying her hands when she received her husband’s call.“Babe, there’s a girl imitating Diana’s outfit in the bathroom. Go with her and get out of the salon.”Stella’s eyes widened when suddenly a woman appeared behind her. She came from one of the cubicles, and she was wearing the same clothes as Diana. She was about to open her mouth to ask her husband when the woman signaled her not to make any noise.“Babe, cooperate first. Go out with that girl
“Are you sure about your plan?” Charles asked Mauro from the other line.“Yes, I have a strong hunch, and I want to be sure.” The aura of Mauro’s face was dark as he looked at the dark sky. Nature seems to sympathize with his mood. Only household lights serve as light around, and there is no moonlight or even stars in the skies.“What will you do when you prove that she is the culprit?” Charles asked tentatively, and he doubted Mauro’s feelings.“I will burn her like she wanted to do to my wife and our child!”Charles was silent on the other line, and he could sense the anger in Mauro’s voice. His doubts disappeared completely on him. “I’ll take care of it tomorrow.”Mauro thanked his friend and immediately hung up. He returned to the room and lay down beside his sleeping wife. He didn’t fall asleep right away because there were many things bothering his heart and mind. When his wife moved, he quickly hugged her. He almost lost her twice. So he won’t wait for that to happen again, and
It looks like a bomb exploded into Denise after being slapped by Mauro. She looked at her friend in disbelief while holding her painful cheek.Mauro is full of anger and forgets that Denise is his friend. If Diana hadn’t hugged him, he might not have just slapped her, even though she was a girl.“Mauro, why?” Denise burst into tears and didn’t know if she should be angry with her friend or sad.“Why?” He repeated, and he was still angry and pointed at the girl. “How dare you tell my wife that she is a bad woman?”“Because that’s the truth!” Denise’s composure was finally broken. “I’ll just remind you that the family of that woman wanted to kill you! You didn’t love her, and that child was only formed in her womb because of what her family did!”Diana hugged her husband even tighter when she felt that he was getting even more angrier. She didn’t know if it was for her because of what Denise was saying or for his friend.“What’s going on here?” Beth hurried back into the kitchen when sh
Diana also took a shower and accompanied Mauro. Until she got dressed, she still couldn’t get her husband’s words out of her mind. She doesn’t know if she should be happy that her husband loves her. But he has amnesia. That is why she was afraid to hope and that his feelings might not be the same as hers when his memory returned.“Wife, help me.”He quickly let go of the hairbrush and turned to her husband. He’s still not wearing a shirt. She forgot that he needed help in undressing and putting on a shirt because of his head injury.Mauro smiled when his wife was in front of him. He was sitting on the bed, so he had to look up to see her beautiful face.“Mauro, the hand!” She scolded her husband when he grabbed her hips instead of lifting his hands up.“Wife, I’m sorry if my performance was lacking earlier. I’ll make it up when my wound doesn’t hurt anymore.”She patted her husband on the shoulder shyly. “What are you talking about? There’s nothing wrong with me, and I understood the
Diana bit her lower lip when Mauro touched her palm. She couldn’t pull it off when her husband guided her in caressing his wet body. From his hard chest, she lowered her palm until she touched his hard cock.“Uhmm, wife,” he moaned.Diana finally dismissed the doubt in her mind when she heard her husband’s delicious moan. Now she admits to herself that she is eager to repeat what happened to her and Mauro.Mauro caught his breath when his wife’s palm began to move over his boxer shorts. Nothing has changed; he felt the same way when he and Diana first had sex. He thought it was only because of drugs that he was so eager to claim Diana. Now he confirmed the true impact of his wife on him.Diana gasped when her husband kissed her arm, and it crawled towards her neck. She willingly came closer to him and did not want to make it difficult for Mauro. When he pulled her body into the bathtub, she drifted off on her own.“Wife, please love me!” He said while kissing her ear.She didn’t want
“Mauro, Diana’s room is there.” Denise stopped the man before he could enter Diana into his room.Mauro looked at his friend with raised eyebrows before looking at the room she pointed to.“She’s right, we had separate rooms when you still had memories.” Diana felt sad again when she remembered how Mauro used to treat her.Mauro clenched his fist and was angry with his friend. He was not happy with what she reminded him of. “Then and now are different. I don’t want to remember the past anymore because it’s just not good!” He responded coldly to his wife, but his look was darted at Denise.Denise’s tongue suddenly retracted as she read the anger in her friend’s eyes and was no longer happy with her. It's not enough to say that she is also the one he doesn't want to remember.“Mauro, don’t you want to remember? I have pictures of us together everywhere. I’ll also go with you to places where we have happy memories so you can remember everything.”“Thanks, but I’m not interested, and my w
