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
“Have you chosen someone, sir?” asked a reporter again. “Yes, my son himself chose them before his accident happened. But I don’t know which of the two is more deserving for the sake of my granddaughter.” While walking, Stella was surprised by what she heard. She did not know that this would happen, and her grandpa said nothing. She stopped stepping from behind the stage and waited for the old man to call her. She is so complacent that she can manipulate whoever is chosen to be her husband. Her worries eased when she learned that Charles had not come. “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my one and only granddaughter!” Don Fausto stopped speaking for a moment and extended his palm to the opening where his granddaughter would come out.Elizabeth’s eyes gradually widened when the woman they wanted to meet came out. She stared at her dress, and it was familiar to her. When she looked at Sophie, her friend’s reaction was the same. She couldn’t be wrong; that was the dress.“Stella Mcw
Diana rushed to the comfort room when she could barely breathe because of the anger that was stored in her heart. She could not accept that Stella was her cousin. After entering the bathroom, she was forced to face the mirror. She stared at her own reflection in the mirror. “With so many people, why you?” Her fingers gripped the sink. “Bitch, it’s not just the throne in the company you’re taking away from me now. I can’t let you take the man I want too!” Elizabeth grinned as she leaned against the back door. She just let Diana take her anger to Stella herself first. Somehow, she felt better knowing that she had an ally to destroy Stella’s character.Stella only smiled at Mauro when the two men shook hands with her. She could feel Charles’ warm gaze on her, but she didn’t bother to look back. “Grandpa, thank you for choosing me as—” Mauro didn’t finish speaking when Charles interrupted. “You haven’t been chosen to be Stella’s husband yet.”Don Fausto cleared his throat before the t
