“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

    “You should thank me and be kind. Maybe you forgot you had a choice before you left?” Elizabeth quickly looked around, and maybe someone else heard what Stella was saying. “You, shut up! No one will believe you, even if you talk to them!” She gave Elizabeth a scornful look. She is good at pretending, just like Magda. She also uses Sophie, and she is infected by the plasticity of their behavior. “Don’t worry, I have no intention of returning to this family, so your secret will remain a secret.”Elizabeth’s gaze followed Stella’s, full of anger. After she spoke, she turned her back as if she were talking to trash.Inside the library, Sophie quietly approached her brother. When she looked at her stepmother, she was also silent. The aura on her brother’s face was intimidating, and she was even afraid to ask why they were called there. “Tell me everything now, you two.”Sophie and Magda looked at each other, both clueless as to what Charles was talking about. “Why did you tell me befor

    “Don’t worry, I’ll return the ring to Grandpa. I forgot he gave it to me.”Charles opened his mouth but closed it again. He can’t say what was on his mind, and his ego is leading him again. “Maybe it’s the ring you’re waiting for to marry Elizabeth.”“I can marry her even without that ring!” She wanted to raise her eyebrows when she noticed that the young man’s jaw had tensed. She didn’t know what was making him angry, and every word that came out of his mouth had an emphasis.“Okay, I shouldn’t feel guilty about why you two aren’t married yet. You can take the jewelry if you regret giving it to the maid. But the clothes, bags, and shoes, let them go to Marimar.” Charles’ jaws clenched even more. It seems that the girl’s things are of no use to her. It really makes him feel like everything related to him is no longer important. “If you don’t need anything else, I’m going into the room to get the ring.” She didn’t wait for Charles to answer. She hastily turned around and made her w

    She quickly wiped her lips, as if she were disgusted, when she got away from Charles. She wanted to scold him, but suddenly her cellphone rang. Seeing the caller, she immediately answered it, even though Charles was still in front of her.“Mommy, I’m going to sleep now,” Zion told his mother. His voice was sweet. Stella smiled when she heard her son’s voice. Somehow, the irritation she felt was reduced. “Yes, baby, I’m sorry if I hadn’t called earlier. Have you eaten?”Charles clenched his fist when he saw the joy on Stella’s face while talking to the person on the other line. That kind of female tone in conversation was only used by Stella with him before. And now? It looks like she really loves the person she’s talking to because she’s using the same tone. “Yes, Mommy. I miss you!”Stella smiled again at her son’s sweetness. If she were in front of him, she would have kissed the boy on his cheeks multiple times. “I miss you too, baby!” Charles’s appearance darkened even more. The

    “Honey, here’s your coffee.” Elizabeth placed the brewed coffee in front of Charles with a smile. She insisted on making it, even though the young man refused. Charles held his temple and kept his head bowed. He’s not getting enough sleep, so he’s like this. “Honey, drink the coffee while it’s still hot.” She caressed the young man again. “You should be giving him fresh milk to drink.” Charles raised his eyebrows when he heard Stella’s voice.Stella smiled at the two before approaching the refrigerator. She was happy to see the milk she used to buy. It wasn’t there earlier, so it looks like Charles ordered it online. She knew the young man did not like milk. He was only forced when they moved into this house, and she became insistent. Elizabeth annoyingly faced Stella. “Charles doesn’t drink milk,” she calmly answered the woman. Stella didn’t seem to hear anything and picked up some fresh milk. She poured it into the glass, then approached Charles. “It looks like your insomnia i

    “Grandpa, go to sleep, and I’ll check on Charles before going to my room.”Don Ramon closed his eyes with a smile before thanking the girl. He will go to sleep, hoping that tomorrow will have a good result for what he did today. When she made sure that the old man was asleep, Stella came out. Alex is waiting outside the house with the things she needs. “Ma’am, your grandfather is looking for you.” Alex bowed his head in front of the girl. “I’ll call him,” said Stella as she grabbed the just-right-size bag from her personal bodyguard. Alex bowed again and said goodbye to the girl. This is the only good thing about the family that he has been serving. They are not forced by family members to talk about the information about the person they are serving.From the terrace, Charles tightened his grip on the glass of wine. He sees Stella while talking to the man who caused their separation. But he frowned when the man bowed his head in front of the girl. It seems they were mistaken in th

    “D-did you really love him?” Charles asked Stella in a choked voice. “What’s the point if I answer your question?” She was already irritated by the young man’s repeated questions and criticism of her. “You’re all mine, aren’t you?”And instead of avoiding the young man, she helped him before he fell. She knew that he couldn’t do her any harm because he was already drunk. She wasn’t that bad to push him out of the room. Besides, the old man was worried that he might not be sleeping yet. “Shh-Stella...”“Damn!” She cursed when Charles’ face sank into her chest. She almost fell over because she had all of his weight on her.“Stella... Why are you doing this to me?”“What the hell, Charles? You know you can’t control yourself when you’re drunk, but you still drink a lot.” She preached to him and walked to bed with difficulty. She laid the young man down on the bed, with her lying on top of him. He didn’t want to let her go, even though he was drunk. “Charles, let go and go to sleep!”

    The smile on Don Ramon’s lips did not disappear until he left the house. He was happy to see Charles and Stella together now. “Grandpa, are you all right?” Sophie asked her grandfather tenderly. Don Ramon smiled at the girl. He is also happy to see that she no longer fights with Stella. Sophie stood beside her grandfather and did not want Stella to steal his attention again. But because of what she did, she put Stella beside her brother in the front seat. “Elizabeth isn’t here,” she whispered to herself. The important thing is that her grandfather’s attention is on her. Stella just sat quietly and distracted herself with her cellphone. She received the selfie picture of her son while he was having breakfast. She smiled before replying to her son’s nanny.Charles tightened his grip on the steering wheel when he saw that Stella was busy with her cellphone. It looks like she is talking to her husband. Arriving at the hospital, Stella quietly followed the two siblings, who were pushi

    “Oh, eat this to get rid of your anger.” Meashelle gave a slice of mango to the girl as they walked to the entrance of the store.Diana immediately took a bite of it. She was about to ask for one more slice when she noticed two people looking intently at her. She slowly chewed what was in her mouth and continued to walk slowly.“Are they waiting for us?” Meashelle asked Diana in a whisper.Diana shrugged as she looked straight at Mauro. Well, he couldn’t see her eyes because she was wearing dark shades. He frowned again while looking at her. Her mouth was still full of mango slices, and she didn’t want to finish it right away. She is still enjoying the taste of the mango juice. She anchored on Meashelle’s arm, and when they were close to Mauro and Denise, they hurriedly past them.“Where are you going?” Mauro asked Diana sternly.“Going home.” She answered the young man in a muffled way because her mouth was still full and she didn’t bother to look at him.Mauro quickly chased after t

    “Sir, try to put the ring on your fiancée’s finger to see if it fits her,” the saleswoman suggested while looking at Denise.Without a word, Mauro took the ring from the saleswoman and approached Diana. He carelessly took her palm to put the ring on her finger.Diana held herself not to moan in pain when Mauro carelessly grabbed her swollen hand. She withdrew her hand from his grasp, but he only tightened it so much that she was already shrugging.Mauro frowned and stared at the girl’s face. She was obviously hurt, and her lips pressed together tightly. When he looked at the back of her palm again, he noticed that it was red.Diana quickly withdrew her hand and moved it away from the young man. “I will measure it myself.” She extended her right palm in front of him.“What happened to your hand?” Instead, he asked the girl and did not give her the ring.“Nothing,” she responded coldly to Mauro and kept her palm open.Mauro sighed, and the woman’s behavior really changed. It’s like she

    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 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, 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

    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

    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

    “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

    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
