PLAYED BY FATE (English Version) Chapter 24-Criticizing
“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!”
PLAYED BY FATE (English Version) Chapter 26-Meeting again
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
PLAYED BY FATE (English Version) Chapter 27-Mixed emotions
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
PLAYED BY FATE (English Version) Chapter 29-Entrance
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
PLAYED BY FATE (English Version) Chapter 30-Amazement
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

“Hija, welcome home. From now on, treat this home like your home, and don’t hesitate to come to us with your dad if you and your husband have problems.”Diana smiled at the lady and thanked her. She suddenly missed her mother because of her mother-in-law’s presence. She is sad and happy at the same time because she feels that the lady accepts her wholeheartedly, while it was opposite with her son.“Mom, you take care of Diana, and I have something important to do,” Mauro instructed his mother.“Son, today is your honeymoon as couples. Postpone your work for at least a week.” Beth's gentle sermon to her son.“Mom, my work is more important now. Also, honeymoons are only for couples who love each other.”Diana quickly looked away from the lady when she looked at her. She knows that Mauro’s mother feels hurt for her. “Mauro is right, mom. Don’t worry because I’m fine, and I don’t want to travel now either.”Beth sighed before looking at her son. Later, she approached the girl and led her
PLAYED BY FATE (English Version) Book 2: Chapter 20-Wedding
Stella approached her cousin when she saw her. They are now at the registrar’s office of a well-known judge for their marriage. Up to this day, she can’t believe that this is how simple and only a wedding ceremony that Diana wants. The girl dreams high and is nitpicky, but now her cousin’s behavior has changed so much that she doesn’t even recognize her.“Are you really all right?” Stella asked Diana, sounds worried.“Do I look not okay?” Diana also asked with a frown. She wasn’t feeling well when she woke up earlier, and she didn’t want anyone talking to her right now.If it wasn’t for her wedding now, she had no intention of leaving her room. She was wearing a simple white dress. When she looked at Denise, it looked like she was the one going to get married and was clinging to Mauro’s arm. The bitch really had the guts to show here when, in the first place, this is all about family matters.Stella sighed before looking at Diana’s brother and grandfather. It can be seen on their face
PLAYED BY FATE (English Version) Book 2: Chapter 19-Food
“Shit, what is it again, Diana?” Mauro asked the girl, yelling. It’s a good thing that there was no car following them because he suddenly stepped on the brake.“Sorry, I saw sister Meashelle’s favorite food,” Diana explained like a scolded child.Meashelle immediately got what the girl wanted to convey. “Ahh, that’s right. The truth is that I went with Señorita Diana to buy the food I really loved.”Mauro frowned and looked around to find the diner. But he sees nothing but street vendors.Meashelle looked at Diana questioningly, and she didn’t know what food she wanted to buy for her.Diana first glanced at Mauro. Seeing that his attention was not on them, she immediately whispered to Meashelle, which made her look flustered.Meashelle was suddenly in trouble because of the girl’s wish. She doesn’t know what to do and must tell Mauro so she doesn’t get suspicious.“Are you alright? Why haven’t you come down to buy?” Mauro asked the assistant.Diana elbowed Meashelle in her side. And

“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
