“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

    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

    “Brother!” Jenny greeted her brother happily.“How are you?” Zion kissed his sister on the forehead.“I’m fine, brother! I miss you!”Zion clacked. His sister is spoiled by him even though they were often apart. But they don’t lose online communication, of course.“Hi!”Zion looked at the woman who spoke.“Thank you for accepting my invitation to visit here.” Jackie smiled sweetly at Zion.Zion’s brow furrowed, and he didn’t remember the woman inviting him.“Ahm, sir, I’m sorry, and I forgot to tell you that Ms. Jackie also called earlier and invited you to have dinner here,” Jerry explained to the young boss.Jackie glared at Jerry in annoyance, and she was ashamed of herself. She still thought that the young man already knew about her invitation to him. Her mother even cooked a special meal for the guest. She could not contact Zion directly. Even her friend doesn’t want to give her brother’s personal number. That’s one thing she can’t break between her and her brother.“Brother, Jac

    “Let’s go."Alexa blinked when she heard Zion’s voice. He turned his back and walked towards the door. She still looks like she’s floating because of Zion’s kiss. She quickly closed her mouth before swallowing her own saliva. It was as if she was hung over and hungry, so she ran her tongue over her own lips. And savored the taste of Zion's kiss on her. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she blinks.Zion turned to the girl when he opened the door. He clacked in his mind because her face showed signs of hanging on to the kiss. It’s really easy to guess what she’s thinking.Alexa quickly stood up and approached Zion. “Aren’t we going to spend the night here?” She looked up like a child and smiled at the young man.Zion put his index finger to the girl’s forehead and gently pushed it. “You can dream about that when you are sure of your feelings for me.”Alexa was left speechless, as if her husband had read her mind again.

    “Dad, why don’t you invite that man’s family so we can meet and find out what his family background is?” Joan suggested to her father.“Sorry, but I’ve changed my mind. I don’t want my family to be involved in this just to prove the status of my life. I married Alexa, not for you. If you can’t accept me as part of your family, that’s not my problem anymore. I came here to formally inform you that we are married and not to show off!”Alexa stared dumbfounded at Zion. It was very cool and very brave to speak in front of her family. When she looked at her aunt and cousin, they were also stunned. Her grandfather looked suddenly worried because her husband was also angry since his personality was being judged.“Hijo, it’s not like that. Be patient with my daughter and her daughter.”“You don’t need to explain, sir, and everything is clear to me now. The state in a person’s life is the only basis for you to be your family member,” Zion’s replied coldly.The old man was embarrassed, and Zion

    “Good, and here you are.” It was obvious in Simon’s voice that he was angry.“Grandpa, whatever Liza reported to you is their fault because they are bullies,” she immediately explained to her grandfather.“What are you talking about, Alexa? Since when was it my daughter’s fault that you had a husband as poor as you?” Joan asked her niece mockingly.Alexa’s eyes widened slightly before scratching her head. Therefore, her cousin reported to her grandfather otherwise. But as she and Zion agreed for, her grandfather must not know that her husband is poor until the old man has given her her inheritance.“Alexa, don’t deny and don’t let that man pretend anymore just to trick Grandpa and get your inheritance.” A teasing smile appeared on Liza’s lips.“Oh, poor Liza, I really feel sorry for you. I know that you and your ugly boyfriend were embarrassed so much earlier in the restaurant; that is why you are defaming me to Grandpa now.” Alexa made the aura on her face even sadder.“What do you m

    “Sir, why?” The supervisor asked in shock, and the manager suddenly pointed at her.“Stupid! Don’t you know who you are facing at?” The manager whined at the supervisor and almost poked her eyes with his index finger.Liza was surprised by the manager’s actions. She quickly held on to her boyfriend’s arm, and she might also be angered by the manager.“Sir? Mr. Dave knows them to be poor, and they offended Mr. Dave and his girlfriend, so they let them pay for the food.” The supervisor explained excitedly.Roxas clenched his fist and stopped himself from slapping the supervisor. “I don’t care who you’re talking about! But what you did to our VIP visitor—I can’t miss that!”.The supervisor hesitated and looked almost pale at Alexa and her male companion. “VIP?” Almost only herself could hear her.Even Alexa was surprised by what the manager said. She never thought that her husband’s friend would be so rich. If only Jerry was next to her, she would have hugged him and thanked him. The smi

    “Sir, I know those people, and they live in a dumpster. Get them out of here, and it might smell like garbage inside when you let them in.” Liza pointed at Alexa and her companions.“If you don’t let us in, I’ll make sure you’ll get fire!” Zion angrily threatened the security guard.The security guard didn’t know what to do.“Sir, being a bully is bad. I’ll post it on social media, and I’ll give your service here a low rating if you don’t let us in!” Alexa also threatened the security guard.“What’s going on here?”The security guard quickly approached the newly arrived supervisor of the restaurant. “Ma’am, I’m sorry for the trouble. It looks like they can’t afford to pay for the food here, so I blocked them.” The security guard was shaking as he was explaining.The supervisor looks scrutinizingly at the people the security guard is referring to. When he recognized one of those there, he quickly approached him. “Mr. Dave, I’m sorry for the behavior of our security guard. Are you with

    Alexa had a beautiful smile while looking at the ring finger where the wedding ring was already worn. Their civil wedding is done, and she is very amazed by her ring. Because it looks real.“Zion, thank you very much for marrying my daughter. I know that you only married each other for personal reasons. But I hope that you will also fall for each other and spend a lifetime together.” Lourdes clasped the palms of the two.“Thank you, Mother.” Zion bowed slightly to show respect to the lady.Alexa smiles excitedly, and Zion calls her mother, mom. She wanted to ask where his parents were, but she couldn’t. One of their agreements is not to talk about their personal lives, especially ask about each other’s lives. She agreed with his conditions because they would not live together.“I have a house for rent near the school Alexa attends. You can move there, and the surroundings will be better.”“Oh, son, don’t worry about me anymore. It’s better that you two would go solo and don’t have you

    “Zion,” he said to the girl.“Zion?” Alexa repeated the man’s name before shaking her head and frowning as she thought.Zion watched the girl’s face with amusement as she seemed to be arguing with her own mind. He tells her his real name and wants to know if she still remembers him.Alexa’s muzzle lengthened, and she stroked her chin with her fingers as she looked at the young man. She turned him around and checked his clothes.Zion just let the girl do what she was doing. She even touched the hem of his polo shirt and stared at it. It’s like her eyes have a microscope, and she’s looking for the virus on it.Alexa straightened up and placed her palms on her sides in front of the young man. “Nice name.”Zion frowned slightly, and the girl seemed to ignore his name. He felt disappointed because he thought the girl had appreciated the past and waited for him.“The same name of the boy I saved before,” Alexa said, bragging.Hearing this, the normal aura on Zion’s face appeared again.

    “Zion, how are you there?” Stella asked her son from the video call. The couple was on vacation, so their son came home to manage their business. Another thing is that their only daughter was left behind. “I’m fine, Mom, how’s Daddy?” He leaned back in his seat while playing with the pen he was holding. He couldn’t sleep, so he tackled the work that could be done in the office. “Son, are you sure you don’t want to introduce yourself to your father’s company?” Stella asked her son again. They have two businesses that need to be managed. He suddenly changed his mind earlier. “Yes, Mom, I want to observe the company first, and it looks like there are employees who have abused their positions.” “If there’s a problem, call me or your dad.” “Okay, Mom, enjoy your vacation.” “Sleep now, and it’s late at night there.” Stella said goodbye to her son with a smile. Zion just nodded at his mother. Before he could turn off the call, he saw his father waving. He remembered that he also
