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
Diana approached Stella with a smile and kissed her. “I didn’t think you were the only cousin I’ve been wanting to meet for a long time.”Smiling, she returned the kiss to the woman. Many people were looking at them now, and their every move was being watched. “I know you enjoyed it a lot and made fun of me for insulting your personality. You probably have no intention of getting revenge, have you? Besides, it’s not my fault if I call you Slapsoil,” Diana whispered sarcastically to Stella again.It was Stella who hugged the woman and whispered back. “I’m not angry, dear. I’m not even affected by your insults, because you know the reason. Now, maybe you wouldn’t be angry with me if Mauro was one of Grandpa’s choices to be my husband, would you?” She asked teasingly to Diana. “Bitch!” She hissed, if only she could strangle her while hugging her. “Show me what you got!” “Sure!” She gently patted Diana on the back before letting go of her embrace.She grinned and was calm, while Diana’
“Make a way for Mauro to marry your cousin,” Vincent said to Vanz. Diana stared at her grandfather in disbelief. They were in his library today to talk about Stella. “Grandpa, why Mauro? I can’t agree because he’s mine!” Vincent angrily slapped his granddaughter out of anger. “Stupid! What you say about that love is insanity! That love is not important. That would only destroy the foundation of our family! The important thing now is to grab the man your cousin will marry by the neck in order for us to take over the company!”Vanz quickly approached his sister and hugged her. He felt sorry for her, but they had to obey their grandfather. “Leave it alone for now. When that woman disappears from our path, you will also get back the man you want to marry.” Crying, Diana hid her face in her brother’s chest. This is not the first time that her grandfather has hurt her physically. But she is in a lot of pain now because she will lose the chance to be loved by Mauro. Their grandfather’s ha
She laughed and put the cellphone in the pocket of the shorts she was wearing. She had no intention of having any contact with Charles. “Never mind, I’ll just ask your grandfather for your contact number.”She quickly blocked Charles’ path when he stepped forward. “Fine!” She was forced to hand over the cellphone. A corner of Charles’ lips lifted slightly, and he immediately took the girl’s cellphone. After typing his own number, he saved it immediately before dialing. Stella folded her arms, and the man was really wise. He even called his own number to make sure he got her contact information.After returning the girl’s cellphone, he put one hand in his pocket. “Say goodbye to your grandfather, and we’ll be leaving.” She quickly backed away from the young man. “I won’t go with you, so leave. Even if you don’t follow me, I will visit Grandpa.” “I promised Grandpa that I’d be with you when I got home,” Charles said firmly.“You—” “You must not want your grandfather to know about
She rides in Charles’s car annoyingly. Besides, he did not agree that she would ride in another car. After sitting in the chair, she folded her arms and did not move. Charles smiled at the girl. She squinted, but she couldn’t get away from him. Then he gradually brought his face closer to her. He could feel the girl’s nervousness, which made him happy. She was almost holding her breath and couldn’t pull herself away from Charles. She thought he was going to kiss her. “Done.” At the same time as the young man spoke, the seat belt that was attached to her clicked. She wants to beat herself up for expecting something else. She quickly looked away to hide her embarrassment. He couldn’t get away from the girl. He quickly grabbed the girl’s chin and brought her face to him.“What are you doing—?” She didn’t finish speaking, and the young man quickly sealed her lips with a kiss. She automatically grabbed his shoulder to push him. But it is like steel that cannot be shaken.With his ligh
The nurse smiled when she saw the woman after opening the door. She recognized her immediately. Apart from the fact that she had already seen her during her first visit, her patient mentioned the woman multiple times as his grandson’s ex-wife. “Thank you, and you visited the gentleman again.” Stella smiled at the nurse before moving her gaze to the bed. The old man seems to be sleeping, but there is still oxygen attached to his nose. “How is he? Why is he on oxygen?” She asked worriedly. “His granddaughter came here earlier and brought her friend with her,” the nurse explained.Stella sighed. The old man must have been angry, so his blood rose.“But he’s okay now. I just connected him to oxygen to make him feel better. His doctor has also checked him.” “Why didn’t you tell me right away that there was a problem here?” Charles asked angrily and heard the last thing the nurse said. The nurse bowed her head in fear when she saw the old man’s grandson. “I’m sorry, sir, your sister did
