“Shall we go?” Mauro asked the girl, smiling, when he saw her outside the hospital. She was with her personal bodyguard. “Mauro, Charles hasn’t arrived yet, and I don’t want to leave Granpa Ramon, especially when Magda is around.” Stella is worried that Magda might anger the old man again. “I see. Is it okay for me to visit him?” Stella thought for a moment. The old man knew Mauro back then as her suitor and a friend as well. No one was harmed if the man visited her. Mauro quickly supported the girl when she nodded. He thought that Charles had left earlier. It is also surprising that he did not prioritize his grandfather when he was in the hospital.Before entering the room where the old man was, Stella met Magda. She was still looking at her sharply, but she moved out of the way. She seemed to be coming from the room, so she quickly entered to check on Don Ramon’s condition. Sophie was surprised by the sudden entrance of two unexpected people. She thought Stella had left. She wa
Charles clenched his fist when he heard that Mauro was still there at their house. It looks like they plan to have dinner there, and Stella will cook. “Brother, are you sure you won’t go home?” Charles turned to his sister. He quickly turned off the lighter from lighting the cigarette and faced her. “From now on, avoid Stella. I don’t want to get into trouble with her again. You understand what I mean, don’t you?”Sophie nervously nodded to her brother. His mood seemed to be in a bad mood, so she couldn’t say what she wanted to say. When he called earlier, she didn’t ask. Even in this way, she can help her brother. Then, suddenly, he became quiet when he saw their stepmother approaching them.“Son, what are you doing here? Don’t you know that your grandfather is in the hospital?” asked Magda in surprise. “He is fine. I came here to tell you that you are not allowed to come near Stella from now on.” “You don’t have to say that because I really didn’t want to be near that woman sinc
“Sir, Ma’am Stella’s suitor is still not leaving,” Rhea’s message to Charles. Charles clenched his fist after reading Rhea’s message. He was now in his condominium and was restless. When he looked at the watch he was wearing, it was ten o’clock in the evening.“How’s Grandpa going?” He asked the nurse.“He’s already asleep, so the two of them had time to talk,” replied Rhea.Charles gasped for air. He stood up but immediately returned to his seat. Even though it was an awkward time to call the girl, he did it.Stella frowned when she saw who was calling. She thought the man was still in the air. She didn’t want to answer his call, but she was worried about Charles’ earlier threat. “Is that Charles who’s calling?” Mauro asked when he noticed that the girl was hesitant to answer the call on her cellphone. “Ahm, yes. Maybe he’ll say hello to Grandpa.” Mauro smiled and showed the girl that it was okay with him if she answered the call first. Stella gave the young man a grateful look
“What the—uhmmmp!” She could not continue what she had to say because Charles quickly sealed her lips with a kiss. She pushed him hardly, but the man was like iron and didn’t budge from his stand.“I miss you!” Charles said in between kissing the girl.Stella was even more annoyed by what she heard. Even though she was longing for his kisses, the anger she felt prevailed. She bit his lower lip so Charles could release her.Charles licked his bleeding lips after wiping with a finger. He was not prepared for what the girl did.“Damn you! We don’t have a relationship where you can kiss me whenever you want!” She growled at the man while wiping her lips with the back of her palm.Charles narrowed his rather narrow eyes and did not let the girl leave the seat. “Then, I’ll hurry up our wedding so we can have a relationship!”“Jerk, I will never marry someone like you, and I don’t want to go through what I went through with you again!”Suddenly, the aura on Charles’ face softened, and he was
“Everyone, meet our new intern!” The woman clapped her hands from the training room to get the attention of all the employees there. Stella looked around the said department. Most of them were women, and only a few were men. There are three employees who entered today, and they are all women. “Welcome!” The crowd greeted Stella and her colleagues at the same time. Stella remembered the faces of the employees who did not greet them. She greeted them back, but they just glanced at her, and they continued what they were doing in front of the mirror. “Alright, you’ve already been trained before entering here, right?” Lexter asked the three interns. He is the assistant team leader there. “Yes, sir, don’t worry, I’m the manager’s cousin here.” Stella couldn’t stop raising her eyebrows when she heard the answer from her companion, Lorna. She had been bragging to them that she was the cousin of the manager there. She doesn’t know why she got in there when the company’s rules prohibit
Stella quickly stopped Aprilyn when she gathered her equipment and put it in a small box. She thought it would take her a few more days in this department before her true status in the company was revealed. She will not let the company lose a person who is a hard worker and has a good heart at the same time.“Stella, I don’t want to fit myself in here anymore, and I don't want to work with people like them.” Aprilyn continued to put her things away. Stella angrily grabbed Aprilyn’s hand and yelled at her. “No, stay in this department, and they should be fired!” Aprilyn stared at the angry woman for a long time. She looks like she’s not insane, but she’s acting wrong. “What a mess is going on here?”Everyone fell silent when they heard the shrill voice of the newly arrived girl.“Manager Laura, it’s good, and you’ve come. The new employee has been making trouble for a while, and your cousin is also being talked down to!” Loida reported. Stella stood up straight and met the watchful
Stella became even more angry when she saw that the two women did not fight against what Laura did to them. She could not help them because the two men had already grabbed her by both hands. Only then did Laura stop beating the two when she got tired. She didn’t want to waste her energy on the two and had to devote it to the woman who dared to hurt her. She grinned and straightened her messy hair before gently approaching Stella. Even if she struggled, she couldn’t escape because she was held by two men.“Motherfucker, if how many slaps you have landed on the faces of those two, I’ll return them to you later,” Stella whined at Laura.Laura laughed along with the others and laughed at Stella’s daring.“Laura, your palms might hurt badly if you use them on that woman. Let me take revenge on that crazy for you!” Lorna volunteered. Laura examined her palm and stretched her fingers. Her palm was already red, and she guessed she gave five slaps each to the two who wanted to be heroic for
Laura was surprised when her boyfriend suddenly became uneasy after seeing the woman who punched her. Her head suddenly warmed up, and she thought that her suspicions earlier were correct. “Honey, who is she, and why does she have the courage to fight me? Do you know her?” Vanz was suddenly irritated by his girlfriend’s tackle. He doesn’t want to be embarrassed by Stella because of his girlfriend. But he also doesn’t want her to embarrass his girlfriend in front of many people and in front of him. “Why don’t you answer her?” Stella asked her cousin. “Let’s talk in the office about whatever you don’t understand,” Vanz replied formally to Stella. “Who is she in your life, and why can’t you protect me from her now?” Laura angrily snapped at her boyfriend. Her hunch had gotten stronger, and she confirmed that her suspicion was correct when Vanz suddenly became calm in front of the woman. Vanz glared at his girlfriend and told her not to speak anymore. But she did not get or re
“Babe, when you get to know my parents, don’t think they’ll make fun of you.”Alexa’s forehead wrinkled, and her husband looked serious. “What do you mean, babe?”Zion grabbed his wife’s palm and held it tight. “Babe, you once met and talked to them, but they didn’t introduce themselves to you.”“Huh, when?” Alexa was suddenly worried about the fact that she seemed to be under observation of whether or not she would pass for Zion. “Babe, I might not pass as your wife.”Zion smiled, and his concerns and worries reduced. Fortunately, his wife was not able to feel bad, and her understanding was wide, even though her assumption was sometimes wrong.“What do you think, Jerry?” Alexa asked restlessly to the man who was busy driving.Jerry glanced at the front mirror and looked at the couple sitting in the backseat. “I think you’ll pass for them.”Alexa blew air out of her mouth before smiling. Somehow, she had reduced her fear that Zion’s family might not like her because of the state of he
Charles was shocked when he met Alexa outside the elevator. Well, his wife couldn’t wait to see their son later; that is why they rushed here at the company.“Grandpa?” She called the man, even though she wasn’t sure if the person in front of her was the same old man she helped in cleaning.Stella wants to hit her husband, and he looks like a teenager who said ‘hi’ to the woman and even waved at her.When she heard the old man’s voice, Alexa smiled. “It’s really you, Grandpa! Look at you now! I told you that you look younger when you get dressed properly.”Stella wanted to raise an eyebrow, and the woman praised her husband genuinely. If she didn’t just call her husband an old man, she would think she was one of the women who still liked Charles even though he gets older.“Thanks, hija, the truth is—” Charles couldn’t finish his reproach, and Alexa suddenly turned her attention to his wife.“Is she your wife, Grandpa? She’s so beautiful, and she has a resemblance to my husband!” Alexa
“Jerry, that’s not true. She just came and—”“Don’t you remember what I told you to tell me right away when Ms. Alexa arrived?”Jackie bites the inside of her lip’s skin. For Jerry, she was already upset; what more if it came to Zion? No, it shouldn’t. She could not accept that Zion would be mad at her in front of this woman. “Jerry, she wants to wait for Zion to finish the meeting.”Jerry looked at Alexa with a questioning look, but she made him feel sorry for her. He glared at her in his mind; when this woman’s face was like this, he knew she just wanted to annoy Jackie. “Ms. Alexa, you can go inside.”Alexa smiled at Jerry and returned to the chair. “I’ll just wait for him to finish. I have to behave for my husband to love me more.”Jackie looked away from the woman annoyingly, and she was really showing her that Zion loved her. She sneered secretly, knowing that the time would come when Zion would get tired of her. A few minutes later, Zion came out of the office with a lady guest
“Why did you suddenly rush here? Is there a problem?” Charles asked Mr. Zoe.“Mr. Chairman, I’m sorry for my sudden visit. I just want to personally let you know what your son is doing wrong that can affect his reputation as CEO in the company.”Charles’s forehead wrinkles, and so did his wife’s. “What do you mean, Mr. Zoe?”“The news has been spreading about your son’s obsession with a lowly kind of woman.” Zoe looks at the chairman directly in the face.“Low class? How do you say she’s a lowly girl?” Charles challengingly asks the man who is almost in his age.“She has no manners and is destructive. She has no degree and grew up in the street.” Zoe replied in a seemingly angry tone.“Mr. Zoe, the degree is not the basis for being a low-class woman. We can’t even underestimate a person just because they are from a poor family. I have never seen anything wrong with that, but no manners?”Zoe was surprised by what Stella said and was embarrassed by what she had first said. But when she
After eating, Liza was unable to get close to Zion. Her cousin was like a gecko and didn’t leave the man. It was almost sitting on Zion’s lap when they were sitting in the living room.“Zion, what is your plan after Alexa’s graduation?” Simon asked.“We’re getting married again, and this time it’s in the church.”“That’s good!” Simon replied delightedly. “How about your family?”“They just got home from vacation. I’ll talk to them about visiting here.”Liza was once again jealous of her cousin, and her mother-in-law and father-in-law were not just ordinary people because Zion’s parents were obviously rich and touring around the world. If she had been able to get her grandfather’s wealth alone, she could do the same trip.Zion and Alexa went to bed early and woke up early. They need to go home and change clothes before going to work.“Babe, I’ll go to the office later. Are you sure you’re okay going to work now?” Zion asked as he combed his wife’s hair.“Don’t worry; I’m not going to b
“My husband is damn handsome, isn’t he?” Alexa smiled at her cousin.Liza quickly looked away from Zion’s body. She could not imagine that despite what he was wearing, his handsomeness still appeared. He looks super hot, and she gets envious with her cousin. If her cousin’s wedding to Dave had been successful, she might be Zion’s girlfriend or wife now.“He is mine, and only mine! All about him is also mine, and I don’t want to have a rival.” Alexa emphasized every word she uttered.Liza stared at her cousin angrily. Fortunately, Zion entered their grandfather’s room to change. “Let’s see how long Zion will love you.”She also stared at Liza badly. “Don’t make the mistake of dreaming of having my husband, Liza, because I’m really going to beat you up and make you bald! You should be contented with your pervert boyfriend!”Liza was very upset, and the anger she felt for Alexa only increased. “It’s your fault Dave was fired from his job, so I’ll make you pay back!”“You know what? You’r
After entering the room, Alexa immediately hugged her husband. But instead of being sweet with her, she instead received a sermon from him.“Babe, don’t repeat what you did earlier when you left without saying goodbye and even left your cellphone behind.”Alexa pouted. “Babe, don’t be angry. I forgot to call you back earlier because I was in a hurry to come here to get home right away. I want to get my inheritance from Grandpa so I can slap your woman’s father with it.”Zion frowned and remembered what the old man said earlier. “Who insulted your personality earlier?”“I don’t know him, but he said that he knows your family personally and that he is the father of the woman you are destined to marry.” Alexa suddenly frowned and sulked at the man because he has another woman.“That bastard! How dare he brag about himself and tell you about his daughter!”Alexa frowned even more and spoke badly of her husband. “Babe, slow down!”Zion’s forehead still didn’t flatten even though his wife l
“Go inside and coax your wife. But you should stay here overnight, and I want to be with my granddaughter too.”“Thank you very much for understanding, Grandpa.” Zion stepped forward first and entered the house.When Alexa saw her husband, she jumped down from the high leg stool where she was sitting. “Babe, how did you know I was here?”“Why did you leave the company and leave your bag in my office with your cellphone?” Zion asked his wife, sounding angry.“I don’t know where the way back to your office from the exclusive room is. Then when I went out the door, another man met me, and he was angry.”“Wait, you own the company that my grandchildren have joined as interns?” Simon asked the young man in shock.Alexa’s eyes widened. She doesn’t want anyone else to know about her husband’s true personality, especially her family. Not that she’s embarrassed or anything. But maybe they will take advantage of Zion’s kindness. She knew her grandfather; he didn’t just have business on his mind
Dave left where he parked his car when he couldn’t spot Alexa. Now that he knows where the woman lives, it’s easy for him to make his plan.At the villa, Simon is surprised to see his granddaughter, and it looks like she’s about to cry. “What happened? Where is your husband?”Lourdes is also worried that she approached her daughter because of her sudden arrival.“Grandpa, they are so bad!”“Who?” Simon and Lourdes asked at the same time.“The family of the woman who likes Zion!” Alexa sat down on the sofa.“What? Zion has another woman?” Simon asked angrily.“Someone likes him, and it’s not a woman.” Alexa’s correction.“Then why are you getting affected by them? You should not go home here but to your husband’s, so that you can fight for him.” Simon’s sermon.“Grandpa, they belittled me and told me that I’m not suitable for Zion because I’m poor. This is your fault, Grandpa!” Alexa’s complained to her grandfather.Lourdes’ eyes widened, worried for what might come out of her daughter
