Diana looked at the woman staring at them. When their eyes met, surprise appeared on her face. “Stella?”Stella didn’t wonder if the woman was surprised to see her. Well, she didn’t know her true personality, so she would definitely wonder why she was there and on that floor. She was about to step closer to the woman when the man she was talking to suddenly turned towards her. Earlier, Diana was the only one who was surprised to see her. Now, she was the one who was shocked when she saw the man. Charles frowned when he recognized the woman he was looking at. What he thought earlier was just a mishearing of the name Diana mentioned. He didn’t think that he would find his ex-wife, whom he had been looking for a long time, in that company alone.“Gosh, it’s you, Stella!” Diana exclaimed exasperatedly and quickly approached the woman. “What are you doing here? I mean, since when have you been an employee here at our company?” Stella wanted to roll her eyes, but she stopped herself. She
“Sir, the meeting is about to start.” Charles turned to his secretary, who unknowingly followed him. He sighed before walking back to the conference room. Stella lost the will to go to the conference room. She also had a sudden headache, so she decided to leave. Alex quickly approached the girl and helped her get to the elevator. Charles clenched his fist when he saw the man with Stella. In that case, the same man was accompanied by his ex-wife. The man seems to have a connection to this company, so they are there. After getting off the elevator, the two faced him. Both of them gave each other a cold look before the elevator closed.“Are you all right, ma’am?” Alex asked the girl. “Let’s go straight to my son,” she whispered to Alex. The man did not ask any more questions and followed what the girl ordered. In the mansion, Fausto is restless while waiting for his assistant to call. He waited another twenty minutes until the phone rang. “Sir, I’m sorry if I called you just now.
“Is he the one you said was your friend, Diana?” Vanz asked his sister. “Brother!” She smiled and held on to her brother’s arm. “That’s him, brother, and please don’t torture him here.”Mauro scratched the back of his neck and could no longer refuse the girl’s invitation. He knows Vanz. He knows that he is one of the nominees for CEO of that company today. Vanz faced the man with a smile. “It’s nice to meet you again. I apologize for being in the conference room earlier if I have a lot of questions.” Diana pursed her lips and gently pulled her brother’s arm. It means that she didn’t like what he did earlier.“I understand that business is business. Even if I were in your position, I would do the same. Thank you for being professional, and please don’t give me special treatment because your sister became my friend.”“Mauro, don’t worry because you are no longer at work, so my brother will talk to you like this. Get used to him because he treats everyone close to me like this.” Her
“Ma’am, let me prepare you your favorite breakfast.” Marimar quickly moved away from the boss’s ex-wife. Stella tried to stop the maid, but she had already moved away. She looked back at Charles, as if she were hallucinating, when the strange emotion was reflected in his eyes. It was as if her sight was deceiving her, and she could read in Charles’ eyes that he longs for her. Charles blinks in realization. It was as if he hadn’t recognized his own feelings earlier and had briefly lost himself. “It’s good that there is still some consent left in your heart and you thought of visiting Grandpa.” The anger returned to her heart because of what the young man said. It seems that she was just deceived by her own eyes earlier. The man is still arrogant and has no love for her. He still thinks of her as a gold digger and a hypocrite.“I don’t want trouble. I didn’t come here to talk to you.” Charles was momentarily stunned by Stella’s cold conversation with him. He stared into her eyes, bu
“Hija, be patient with my grandson. Don’t worry about me because there is a nurse who is already taking care of me. I am happy to see you today, and I am relieved because you seem to be happy with your life now.”Stella smiled and nodded to the old man before turning to Charles. “My husband is rich, so I don’t have to work hard to earn money.”Charles’s jaw tightened and moved. He couldn’t accept that his ex-wife no longer needed him because it looked like he had been replaced with a man with more money. “But don’t worry, I’ll still visit Grandpa Ramon and take care of him when I have time. I guess I am still welcome here anytime I want to come since this is my house, ain’t I?” “Of course, but let Grandpa stay here because he prefers to live here.”The young man’s face was formal when talking to her. She shook herself when she looked at his face again. The man seemed to be doing it with purpose, and he even grew his hair longer. “Don’t assume. You’re not the reason why he grew his
“The million pesos you are talking about; are you sure she took them in exchange for her freedom?” Charles was even more confused by the question from his grandfather. All he knows is that Stella accepted the money and left. “And you believe she has another man?” Ramon asked his grandson again. “Grandpa, you heard her saying earlier that she is married to a rich man.” He seems to be forced to answer his grandpa. Ramon shook his head. “Your sister, I hope he wouldn’t be stupid in choosing a marriage partner. And doesn’t become blind to the truth like you.”Charles sighed softly and didn’t argue with what his grandfather said. If he is the one that follows, he wants to expel his stepmother from their siblings’s lives when their father is gone. But Sophie loves Magda because she is her mother, who has come to her senses. His grandpa didn’t speak again, so he distracted himself with work again. “The food is ready, grandpa. Come on, I know you miss my cooking.” Stella energetically ap
“What are you doing here in my grandfather’s room? What do you need, and why did you come back?” Sophie asked Stella one question after another and immediately approached her grandfather. Stella thought about it. If Sophie acted, it would be like she was doing a disservice to her grandfather. “Sophie, what kind of question is that? It’s Stella’s house, so you shouldn’t be asking her that kind of thing.”Sophie was annoyed with Stella because she’s still the one that her grandfather is siding with. “She didn’t sign the deed, so she has no right to the house from my brother,” replied Sophie. Magda jumped from her stance when she heard what Sophie said. She suddenly got nervous, and the information might reach Charles’ knowledge.“What did you say?” Ramon’s eyes narrowed. “What that means is that you know she didn’t take what your brother gave her, but you didn’t tell Charles?” Sophie suddenly turned pale, and her chest puffed out. It’s too late to take back what she said out of jeal
The old man was already asleep when the doctor arrived. Stella just stayed on one side and had no intention of leaving, even though Sophie looked at her badly. “It’s a good thing that his blood is further prevented from increasing. Avoid getting him too angry.” The doctor’s advice to the patient’s family. “Let her go, brother, before Grandpa wakes up so that Grandpa doesn’t feel bad again.” Sophie pointed at Stella. “If you don’t have anything sensible to say, shut up, Sophie!” he said in a stern voice. Sophie’s lips were tightly pressed together, and her heart was filled with anger. She was the only one who heard what her brother said, but she was very embarrassed because it seemed like Stella was still taking sides.“You need to take him to the hospital tomorrow morning, and he needs to be tested,” the doctor reminded them while arranging the contents of his bag and preparing to leave. “Thank you very much, doc.” Charles shook hands with the doctor before leading him outside th
“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
