“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
Charles remembers his doctor friend because of the cellphone. He remembered that what she said earlier was not clear because she was in a hurry and she had only taken a calling card from her father, then left. “She was my first patient, four years ago.” It was like an echo in Charles’ mind when he remembered what his friend had said earlier. “Patient? Four years ago?” He talked to himself before straightening up when the thing that had been bothering his mind became clear. Charles stood up quickly and picked up his cellphone that was lying on the small table. Instead of calling Elizabeth, he spoke to his assistant. “Yes sir?” “When Stella left, which hospital did the taxi driver take her to?”Roy frowned and was confused by his boss’s question. “Answer me, damn it!” Charles yelled at the person on the other line of the phone when he didn’t immediately answer. “I’m sorry, sir, I’m still thinking.” Roy was confused, and the young man’s voice raised him up. He didn’t know why he s
“What are you doing here?” Charles asked Elizabeth when he caught her at his office. He had just come from the conference room, and his head was still hot. “Honey, I just wanted to let you know that I’m not mad anymore because of what happened the other day,” said Elizabeth affectionately to her boyfriend. She had made up for the young man, and he seemed to have gotten used to not having her by his side. The event is tomorrow, and she is worried that he might be chosen to be the husband of the heir of the old business tycoon. Charles stared at his girlfriend for a moment. He really bothered himself with any kind of work to give his mind a break from thinking about the past. He had also forgotten the woman and was unable to call her. Elizabeth quickly approached Charles and hooked her hand on his arm. “Honey, I love you so much. I don’t want us to be ruined again because of that woman.”It was as if Charles was burning, and he walked away from Elizabeth. She reminded him of the per
Diana looked around after entering the vast venue. The event was held in a fancy and famous hotel owned by her cousin. They are also rich, but she is still jealous of Don Fausto’s granddaughter. Without his granddaughter, they would be the only remaining close relatives of the old man and his heirs. “Fix yourself,” Vanz said to his sister, and he helped her enter the venue. Diana sighed. If she was the one to be followed, she didn’t want to attend. She was annoyed, and her cousin still had something like this. She was trying to be valuable. Worse, she was really anonymous and hadn’t introduced herself to them ever since. Suddenly, someone approached her brother, so he was busy talking to others. “Diana, is that you?” Sophie greeted the woman. “Oh, hi!” Diana greeted the woman kindly upon meeting her. She had already made an acquaintance because of Stella and her brother.“Nice to see you again. This is my friend, Elizabeth.” Sophie introduced the accompanying friend. Diana smiled
The three women enjoy it so much while watching how the two are forced out. But before they could get away, someone came to the staff. “What are you doing?” The three guards seemed shocked when they recognized the man who approached them. “Mauro, have you been here for a while?” Diana immediately put her hand on the young man’s arm to turn his attention to her.“Why did you let the guards let them out?” Diana was stunned by the young man’s question, and he was clearly angry. She was suddenly nervous that he might find out that she was the perpetrator. She doesn’t want him to know that she has bad manners and looks down on others. “Hi, Mauro, long time no see!” Sophie greeted the man.Mauro frowned even more when he met Sophie. Instead of greeting her too, he approached Stella. Diana let go of Mauro’s arm and followed him angrily. The three guards will really be fired from their jobs later because they were slow to act, so Stella even found an ally. Elizabeth and Sophie looked a
Charles blew air out of his mouth before getting out of the car. He was forced to go there because, otherwise, his grandfather would attend. He didn’t want him to travel and attend such an event because of his illness. When he entered the venue, his sister was the first one to see him.“Hey, brother! I thought you wouldn’t come.” “Has it started?” Instead, he asked his sister and looked at the watch he was wearing. He was thirty minutes late, and in his mind, the choice was over. “No, not yet.” Sophie folded her arms and frowned at her brother. “The emcee announced earlier that it was going to be late because Don Fausto’s granddaughter had a problem.”“Honey, I thought you weren’t coming.” Elizabeth immediately clung to her boyfriend’s arm.Charles looked at what Elizabeth was wearing. Her chest almost burst out because of the depth of the gown that the girl was wearing. It is worn long, but the slit on the side reaches to her groin. “Why are you wearing that?” Elizabeth bit the in
Stella smiled when she saw her son’s arrival, carrying his sleeping wife. Charles did the same for her when she was pregnant with Jenny. She was glad that Zion inherited his father’s love even when he was arrogant.“Where’s Dad, Mom?” Zion asked softly as he kissed his mother’s cheek.“He’s sleeping, and it looks like your wife infected him.”“Sorry, Mom, I’ll take my wife to our room first.”Stella smiled as she nodded. Her daughter-in-law is still asleep.As soon as he put his wife down on the bed, she immediately rolled over to the other side of the bed. He even chased after her because he was afraid she would fall. She lay on her stomach and just stopped spinning. He immediately took the large pillow and placed it on her side so that she would not roll. He hurried to find underwear and wore it to his wife so that she could not remember later when she woke up that he had torn her favorite underwear.During dinner, he woke up his wife to eat forcefully. But she was furious with him
Zion couldn’t answer his mom, who was still on the other line, because his wife kissed him like she was hungry. He was trying to respond to her kiss, but she harshly released his lips. That was fucking crazy! He was too excited!“Zion, you go home early, and your wife might be hungry again,” Stella reminded her son again as she was busy looking inside the refrigerator for what she could cook.“Yes, Mom.” Zion seems forced to agree to his mother. “I have to go, Mom; I still have something to finish,” Zion added. He grabbed his wife by the neck and kissed her on the lips.Stella’s forehead wrinkled. She turned the cellphone away from sticking it to her ear. She stared at the cellphone, as if she could see her son there. The call was off, so she couldn't even ask her son why he seemed to be breathing hard. She brushed the thoughts away. Maybe she is just overthinking.When Zion put his cellphone down, his lips were slightly parted when he saw his wife only wearing a bra and underwear. He
Zion sighed when her parents were no longer around. He suddenly felt tired. He sat on the edge of the sofa where his wife was sleeping. Then, he slowly lifted his wife’s head to put it on his thighs. It was still fast asleep, and it didn’t even move from what he did. He smiled as her lips moved and slightly sharpened. He restrained himself from kissing her lips as if tempting him. He just closed his eyes and rested himself first.Alexa woke up as if it were humid around her. She was about to get up when she noticed that she was lying on someone’s thigh. She immediately lifted her gaze, and her eyes met her husband’s handsomeness. It looks like he just slept.She slowly got up and brought her gaze around. She searched for her parents-in-law but couldn’t find anyone else there. They seem to have left her. She held her cheek when something dripped there. “Why am I crying?” she wondered.Alexa pursed her lips and quickly wiped away her tears. But she was really crying, and she was feeling
“Zion…” Rita paused to approach the man when she met his sharp gaze. “I’m really sorry!”“Because of what you did, other employees almost lost their jobs.” Every word Zion uttered was cold and emphasized.Rita bowed her head. She couldn’t speak much in front of everyone because she was so shy. “I just love you so much that I did that.”Instead of feeling pity, Zion was just getting anxious with the girl. She was carrying her stuff and is ready to leave. “It’s not my fault that you are still hoping that I will love you back. Many of them also like you if you only open your heart and mind and give them a chance to enter your heart.”Rita sighed. She knew the man could not understand her because he had never experienced love for someone who could not return the love. Zion was right; it’s not his fault that she expected too much from him. She should be blaming herself for being crazily in love with Zion.“My wife didn’t do anything awful against you, and she has not kidnapped me from you,
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
