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
Hasn’t my husband come home yet?” Stella asked the maid as she looked around the living room. She had just woken up, and her husband was not with her. “Huh, why are you looking for your husband from me?” answered the housekeeper bluntly. She pursed her lips and stopped herself from answering the assistant. They are not far apart in age from the woman and if she treats her, it’s like she’s on the same level with her. Well, who will respect her if her own husband and his sister treat her like a servant? Instead of beating the servant’s behavior, Stella decided to go to the kitchen. The maid also does not prepare food for her when her husband is not around. She is only kind to her when Charles, her husband, is around.Marimar followed Stella into the kitchen and told her, “Hurry up there and clean up your mess immediately because Señorita Sophie and Doña Magda are coming.” As if she heard no one, Stella continued to cook the eggs. The assistant was referring to Charles’ sister and st
Stella is lying weakly in the hospital bed. The doctor did not agree that she could not be confined because her condition was dangerous. “Sweetheart, aren’t you going to call your husband so that someone will watch over you?” the doctor said to Stella. Stella tried to smile at the doctor. “I already texted him.” The doctor smiled and nodded at the girl. And felt sorry for the new patient because her body was obviously not taken care of. Stella sighed when the doctor was gone. She stroked her deflated stomach again and, somehow, she smiled. Finally, they will have a child with their husband. Now, there’s a reason for her husband to love her and start their family.Her pregnancy was good and timely. She didn’t know that she was five weeks pregnant. What she needs now is extra care so that the child in her womb does not fall. “Shall I let him know?” Stella quickly looked at the man she had been with earlier and shook her head. “You can go now, I’ll call you when I need your help.”
FateChapter 3 Stella swallowed her own saliva, and it seemed to dry up suddenly before looking directly at Charles. “I just want to know if I had a place in your heart even just a little bit?”The young man looked blankly at Stella. “You know I only married you because of my grandfather. Take the money you after me, so you married me in exchange for my freedom.”Stella tried to suppress a bitter smile forming on her lips. She couldn’t blame her husband because that could be the only thing he had on his mind until now. She had no excuse when she was asked why she wanted to marry him. Her excuse was that she had always dreamed of marrying a rich man. But she was very hurt because Charles had never been able to love her during the three years they had been together.The lawyer was surprised when the girl, without a word, took the pen she was holding and signed the divorce paper. He looked at Charles, but he turned and left them. Both Magda and Sophie stared at Stella in disbelief. The
“Babe, good morning!” Elizabeth greeted the young man enthusiastically when she caught him in the kitchen having coffee. Charles frowned when he saw his ex-girlfriend. He looked around, and it looked like he had gone to the wrong house. “I slept here last night with Sophie. You didn’t want to be disturbed, so I didn’t let you know.” She smiled at the young man as she explained. “Have a seat.” Elizabeth quickly obeyed and sat next to the young man. Now that Stella is gone, it’s her turn to share the young man’s breakfast from today. There was no space for joy anymore in her heart because she felt that Charles was hers again.“Marimar, wake up Stella, so she can have breakfast.” Elizabeth stopped picking up the fork and stared at Charles in disbelief. “Sir, since Ma’am Stella left yesterday she has not returned.” The assistant answered hesitantly. Even if the relationship between the two is not good, Stella cannot be accompanied by food when her boss is there.Charles dropped the
“Still no news?” Charles asked Roy impatiently. “Sorry, sir, I’ve checked all the hotels, even small apartments, but she’s not there.”Charles angrily let go of the pen he was holding and gave the staff a bad look. “Don’t you have any other way to find her and bring her back to the house?”Roy bowed his head. When the tone of the young man’s voice rose to such an extent, he obviously lost patience. He wants Stella to return to the house he gave her before his grandfather arrived. “Get out!” he yelled at the staff again when he couldn’t answer him right.A few days passed and he couldn’t contact Stella. What makes him angry is that she just took the money but did not follow one of the agreements in the deed. Attached to that is that Stella still needed to show up to the old man and help him convince his grandfather that they parted amicably. And he got a divorce without a third wheel to intervene. Charles fell into deep thought and wondered where Stella could go. He wanted to blame
