Stella cried when she received news from the Philippines. Wearily, she sat down on the sofa and slowly turned to look at her grandfather.

“What happened? And who are you talking to?” Fausto asked his granddaughter.

Stella cried even more and could hardly open her mouth. She opened her mouth several times but no words came out.

“Stella, tell me what happened?” Fausto yelled at his granddaughter and was agitated to see her tears.

“Grandpa, Daddy is…”

Fausto’s jaw dropped and his shoulders slowly slumped. He shook his head while not taking his eyes off his crying granddaughter.

“Daddy is gone, grandpa!” She was sobbing.

Fausto quickly approached his granddaughter and hugged her tightly. Suddenly, his heart went numb and he couldn’t cry.

“Grandpa, what am I going to do now that Daddy is gone? Why is this happening? I was just talking to him, and he was on his way here.” Even her shoulders were shaking from crying. What happened was sudden and she couldn’t accept it.

    Elizabeth and Sophie are excited to meet at a branded clothing shop. First, they forgot about finding Stella. Their priority right now is buying a nice dress for the event they will be attending next week. “Do you think she could be our friend?” Sophie asked her friend. “Of course, with this beauty of ours, why couldn’t we? When she becomes our friend, there will definitely be many who will be jealous of us.” Elizabeth’s chest heaved and winked at her friend. What was trending on the news today was all about the granddaughter of the richest business person, not only in their country but abroad as well. It was also in the news that a woman was being choosy towards a friend and was rude.Stella stopped choosing a dress when she heard the two women talking. She knew they were talking about her. The two voices were familiar to her, so she listened to them. She had just returned to the Philippines, but no one else knew except her grandfather. “Miss, are you going to buy it?” the salesl

    At first glance, the manager immediately knew that her staff had judged the wrong person. She gave the staff an angry look before approaching the plainly dressed woman. “Ma’am, I’m sorry for what my staff did.” Sophie and Elizabeth were even more surprised because of what the manager was doing. “Hey, what are you doing? Do you know that that woman did not only do something bad to your staff?” Sophie said to the manager. The manager looked at the two women for a moment. Suddenly, she doubted what to do next. She needs to prioritize good customers because business is business.Stella extended her hand in front of Alex and he immediately gave her the gold card. “You can watch the surveillance camera footage, so you can find out who is really at fault here.”“Huh, you’re really arrogant! Who are you proud of, that old man you’re in love with?” Elizabeth asked Stella insultingly. A corner of Stella’s lips lifted and she shook her head. In that case, Charles was referring to Alex as hi

    “Useless! How can you not trace where she is? It’s clear that she’s just around the corner and hasn’t left the country!” Charles angrily slammed the folder he was holding on the table. Sophie, who was quiet inside her brother’s office, was shocked by her brother’s anger. “Sorry, sir, but even her clothing purchase record is not available.” Roy’s head was bowed and nervous. Charles hit the table again with his fist out of anger.“Brother, I think that the person whom Stella traded you to has a bigger connection. Perhaps she also changed her name to hide her background from the family of the person who she traded you.”Charles’ eyes was still sharp when he looked back at his sister. His sister may be right and his ego cannot accept that. He felt that his ex-wife had cheated on him and made a fool of him. No wonder when she signed the divorce papers. Perhaps the woman had been preparing for their separation for a long time. “She will definitely attend the event, brother.”Charles’ ey

    “Have you already chosen what to wear?” Fausto asked his granddaughter. “Yes, grandpa. How are you feeling?” She stroked her grandfather’s forehead. She knows his blood pressure rate has increased because of her cousins. She is really just waiting for her grandfather to introduce her to the public before she confronts those they suspect of being involved in her father’s death.“I’m fine, and don’t worry about me. You need to focus now on how to face them all and show you’re not weak!” She smiled sparingly at her grandfather. “I promised that I would not oppose your decisions in my life.”Fausto smiled again. It seemed that his granddaughter had learned to fight alone because of her experience in life. He should be thanking whoever impregnated her granddaughter.“Grandpa, as much as possible, I don’t want anyone else to know about my son.” Fausto nodded, he didn’t want others to meet his great-grandchild so far, especially since he was a boy. The child is now in the place where Stel

    Diana looked at the woman staring at them. When their eyes met, surprise appeared on her face. “Stella?”Stella didn’t wonder if the woman was surprised to see her. Well, she didn’t know her true personality, so she would definitely wonder why she was there and on that floor. She was about to step closer to the woman when the man she was talking to suddenly turned towards her. Earlier, Diana was the only one who was surprised to see her. Now, she was the one who was shocked when she saw the man. Charles frowned when he recognized the woman he was looking at. What he thought earlier was just a mishearing of the name Diana mentioned. He didn’t think that he would find his ex-wife, whom he had been looking for a long time, in that company alone.“Gosh, it’s you, Stella!” Diana exclaimed exasperatedly and quickly approached the woman. “What are you doing here? I mean, since when have you been an employee here at our company?” Stella wanted to roll her eyes, but she stopped herself. She

    “Sir, the meeting is about to start.” Charles turned to his secretary, who unknowingly followed him. He sighed before walking back to the conference room. Stella lost the will to go to the conference room. She also had a sudden headache, so she decided to leave. Alex quickly approached the girl and helped her get to the elevator. Charles clenched his fist when he saw the man with Stella. In that case, the same man was accompanied by his ex-wife. The man seems to have a connection to this company, so they are there. After getting off the elevator, the two faced him. Both of them gave each other a cold look before the elevator closed.“Are you all right, ma’am?” Alex asked the girl. “Let’s go straight to my son,” she whispered to Alex. The man did not ask any more questions and followed what the girl ordered. In the mansion, Fausto is restless while waiting for his assistant to call. He waited another twenty minutes until the phone rang. “Sir, I’m sorry if I called you just now.

    “Is he the one you said was your friend, Diana?” Vanz asked his sister. “Brother!” She smiled and held on to her brother’s arm. “That’s him, brother, and please don’t torture him here.”Mauro scratched the back of his neck and could no longer refuse the girl’s invitation. He knows Vanz. He knows that he is one of the nominees for CEO of that company today. Vanz faced the man with a smile. “It’s nice to meet you again. I apologize for being in the conference room earlier if I have a lot of questions.” Diana pursed her lips and gently pulled her brother’s arm. It means that she didn’t like what he did earlier.“I understand that business is business. Even if I were in your position, I would do the same. Thank you for being professional, and please don’t give me special treatment because your sister became my friend.”“Mauro, don’t worry because you are no longer at work, so my brother will talk to you like this. Get used to him because he treats everyone close to me like this.” Her

    “Ma’am, let me prepare you your favorite breakfast.” Marimar quickly moved away from the boss’s ex-wife. Stella tried to stop the maid, but she had already moved away. She looked back at Charles, as if she were hallucinating, when the strange emotion was reflected in his eyes. It was as if her sight was deceiving her, and she could read in Charles’ eyes that he longs for her. Charles blinks in realization. It was as if he hadn’t recognized his own feelings earlier and had briefly lost himself. “It’s good that there is still some consent left in your heart and you thought of visiting Grandpa.” The anger returned to her heart because of what the young man said. It seems that she was just deceived by her own eyes earlier. The man is still arrogant and has no love for her. He still thinks of her as a gold digger and a hypocrite.“I don’t want trouble. I didn’t come here to talk to you.” Charles was momentarily stunned by Stella’s cold conversation with him. He stared into her eyes, bu

Did you save me?” Zion pointed out to himself and stared in disbelief at the girl’s gentle face.The little girl pouted and examined the entire body of her companion. “Can you just talk in our native language because we’re not in another country?”A corner of Zion’s lips lifted, and he stared at the girl’s face in amusement. Even if it looks dirty, she’s still cute. “Didn’t I save you?”The girl frowned and stood up. “Why are you saving me?” She pointed at herself.Zion scratched his head, and it looks like he made a mistake earlier.

    After their passionate, hot sex, Mauro hugged his wife tightly while her head was lying on his shoulder.Diana was so happy that she pressed herself into her husband’s body and smelled the mixture of sweat and his natural scent. She looked up to see his handsome face, but he greeted her with a warm kiss.“Hey, we’re just finished. Baby might crush in between.” She slapped her husband on the shoulder, and he looked horny again.“Wife, the doctor said that our baby is not yet complete, so we need to increase its development. You know, we might have twins.”Diana snorted, and it looked like she couldn’t stop her husband again from his horniness. She could feel the hardness of his cock revived and pounding on her thigh.“Wife, this would be the last one today.”She didn’t object anymore, and her husband’s face looked miserable. He looks hungry, and it seems to be having pain inside his body. Even though she didn’t respond yet, he was already on top of her. And here she is; her body also r

    Diana buried her face in her husband’s chest, and the people they passed looked at them. Why don’t they look at them when she is in a two-piece swimsuit and her husband is in business attire? It looks like she just ran away to the beach, and her father is picking her up now.After entering the room they were occupying, only then did her husband put her down. “Mauro, are you angry?” She asked nervously when he suddenly turned around.“No,” Mauro answered briefly and kept his back turned from Diana.Diana was left speechless and moved in front of her husband. “Then, why don’t you want to look at me?”“Tsk, why are you wearing just that? You know it’s cold outside; what if your stomach gets cold?”A naughty smile formed on her lips and her husband obviously avoided looking at her body. It doesn’t look like he’s angry because of what she’s wearing. She brought herself closer to him when her husband still didn’t want to look at her.Mauro swallowed his own saliva when his wife’s finger car

    “Mauro, it looks like you have a bigger problem to deal with now,” Charles said while looking at his cellphone.Mauro quickly grabbed Charles’ cellphone and looked at what he was talking about. “What the heck! Where is the dress I bought for her?”Charles laughed while looking at the reaction on Mauro’s face when he saw the picture of his wife. His wife sent that, and Diana was facing at her, but her gaze was in a different direction. He couldn’t deny Diana’s beautiful body. Well, only his wife is ahead of her for him. But because Diana’s stomach is not yet obvious, many people are attracted to her beauty and think that she is still a young woman, and not married.Mauro’s nose almost started to smoke because of anger. If only he could pull his wife out from the cellphone, he would have done it. It is also visible in the photo those men behind his wife and staring at her. And he doesn’t like those kinds of stares.Charles signaled the driver to drive back to the resort. He also needs t

She immediately prepared to go to the woman in an old warehouse, and her staff took her there.On the beach, Diana was surprised when her husband asked permission that he was leaving first and that Charles was also going with him. When she looked at Stella, it seemed that she didn’t care that her husband was leaving again and leaving them alone there.“Never mind those two, and it looks like there’s new business that they’re being taken care of.” Stella put her arms around her cousin.“What else can I do? With or without amnesia, his business seems more important than mine,” Diana answered in a sullen tone, and only now did she get her thoughts out.“Don’t sulk, and he will make it up for you for sure.” Stella winked at her cousin.Diana frowned at her cousin, and her brain turned green even though they were both pregnant.“Come on, don’t frown there anymore.

    “Are you sure about your plan?” Charles asked Mauro from the other line.“Yes, I have a strong hunch, and I want to be sure.” The aura of Mauro’s face was dark as he looked at the dark sky. Nature seems to sympathize with his mood. Only household lights serve as light around, and there is no moonlight or even stars in the skies.“What will you do when you prove that she is the culprit?” Charles asked tentatively, and he doubted Mauro’s feelings.“I will burn her like she wanted to do to my wife and our child!”Charles was silent on the other line, and he could sense the anger in Mauro’s voice. His doubts disappeared completely on him. “I’ll take care of it tomorrow.”Mauro thanked his friend and immediately hung up. He returned to the room and lay down beside his sleeping wife. He didn’t fall asleep right away because there were many things bothering his heart and mind. When his wife moved, he quickly hugged her. He almost lost her twice.
