Diana suddenly entered her brother’s car, and he was there alone. Entering inside, the expression on his face was blank when she looked at him, which made her even more worried. “Brother?”Vanz responded by slapping his sister and grabbing her by the neck.“Argh, brother? What is my fault?” She asked, crying while holding her brother’s hand that was holding her neck.“Stupid! Do you know how valuable that ring is?” Vanz whined at his sister. If it wasn’t his sibling, he would have killed her by strangulation because of his anger. “Brother, I don’t know; I’m sorry!”He violently let go of his sister’s neck but didn’t take his eyes off her. “You’re always stupid! Why didn’t you ask first, and where did you get that ring?”She hiccupped and tried to hold back her sobs. The fear she felt now prevailed over the anger towards her brother for hurting her. “Brother, I heard when Grandpa said that that ring is of no use to our family, so no one else should see it.”Vanz washed his face with h
Vincent put the cane down after watching the entire event shot. The shot in another part of the hallway is blank. The only thing visible in the video is taken inside, where everyone is. But it’s obvious that Charles did something fishy. They saw him nod several times but could not see which of his staff was there.“Grandpa, Charles really knows who needs to time out,” Vanz said while focusing on the screen monitor.“What’s wondering is, how did he know that ring was important?” Vincent’s eyebrows raised.Diana bit her lower lip and couldn’t look at her brother and grandfather when they looked at her. Everything is really her fault. She asked Charles for advice before, and he mentioned the ring. This is who told her that the good thing she should put in the auction is a ring.Vanz sighed when he saw the reaction on his sister’s face. He didn’t want their grandfather’s anger to turn to her again, so he changed the subject. “Grandpa, Charles is smart, and he really wants Stella to be his
“Fuck, pervert!” Stella was mad at the man, but she couldn’t push him away from her body. Instead of slapping her palm on his chest, it grabbed there.“I need you!” He said in a husky voice while nibbling in her ear.Her body arched when the man’s palm caressed her chest. Like lava, the heat coming from the man’s hand and lips seeped through every fiber of her being. And just a simple pull of the strap of the dress she was wearing immediately revealed her healthy breasts. She is obviously not wearing a bra since she is wearing a dress. And Charles was so quick, and he grabbed her full breasts easily.“Uhmmm, mine!” Charles whispered between heavy breaths, seems to be hungry as he held and stared passionately at the woman’s breast. After sucking her nipple, his tongue and teeth played alternately on it.“Ahhhh, shit… uhmmmm!” She gasped because of the strange sensation that enveloped her entire being. She took one of the man’s palms and placed it on one of her breasts. She moaned again
I’m telling you, the ring is on that animal!” Fausto gritted his teeth and wanted to strangle his cousin if it was only in front of him. “What is your plan now, Señor?” Leonard asked the old man.Fausto grinned as he stared at Charles in the video. The man was really impressing him. He didn’t think he would know about the ring he was looking for. “Where is my granddaughter?”“She is with her son now, and she will sleep there.” Leonard said..“I want to talk to Charles right now.”“Right away, sir!” Leonard immediately pulled out the cellphone that was in the pocket of the coat he was wearing.Charles smirked when he saw who was calling. He was expecting that. Even though it was late, the old man still called him and couldn’t wait for tomorrow. He still hasn’t gotten undressed. He just put on a jacket and decided to leave.When he arrived at the mansion, the old man was already in the living room waiting for him. He looked around and was looking for someone.“Stella is not here, and s
Diana also paid for the order for Sophie. She was happy because she seemed to want her to be her friend, even though she saw how bad she had been with Stella.“Sophie, I think we will see each other more often from now on because of my cousin and your brother. It won’t be long before they both become husband and wife.”Sophie smiled at Diana, and she was happy because their two families would get along. “You think there will be no more obstacles between the two of them?”Diana paused and acted like she was thinking. After a few seconds, she held at the back of Sophie’s palm that was resting on the table. “I guess there is no more as long as each of them has no secret anymore, especially the people who are close to the two of them.”Sophie swallowed her own saliva, and she was stunned. She was thinking about the secret that she was afraid her brother would know. “I don’t think what I’m hiding will affect the two of them.”“It depends,” Diana shrugged.Sophie’s eyes widened after hearin
“Do you still love that man?” Fausto asked his granddaughter while looking at her.Stella bit the inside part of her lip and could not meet her grandfather’s gaze.Fausto sighed and crouched down to reach his granddaughter. He placed his right palm lightly on her shoulder and squeezed it. “Granddaughter, don’t worry about me. Your feelings for your future husband are still important to me. If you still love him, I will hasten the marriage of the two of you.”“But what about Mauro?” Stella feels sorry for the young man. It’s like she just made him hope that this is where she wants to get married.“That’s not important right now. Charles has the ring, and you know how much that means to me.”Stella nodded understandingly to her grandfather. She is also worried about the company and that the board of directors may all be on the side of her grandfather’s cousin. She is able to manage the company and fight, but most people look down on her. Their basis is the status and gender of the perso
Somehow, Mauro was relieved, even though his heart was hurting. He patted the woman on the back and just let her hug him. “Does he already know?” Mauro asked Stella, referring to Charles.Stella let go of hugging the young man before shaking her head. “Charles is very possessive and aggressive. I’m still afraid to introduce my son to the public because my father’s case has not been solved. When he finds out about Zion, he will definitely take the child from me immediately.”“Nice name.”Stella was speechless and Mauro focused more on her son’s name. It’s true that Mauro smiled and was amused by the woman. He helped her back to her seat and sit her down. He stayed behind her and put his hands on her shoulders. “Whatever you decide, I’m here and ready to support you.”They continued eating happily and heartily. The weight she carries on her chest has been reduced because she and Mauro are still friends. Her only problem now was how to tell Charles about their son without him getting an
Stella looked at her cellphone again. It’s been two days, and Charles doesn’t make any attempt to show his existence to her.“That jerk, what’s his drama again? Is it because he’s holding my family’s heirloom that he’s making himself important?” Stella was annoyed talking to herself.“I heard that Diana often went to Charles’s mansion and that Sophie had become her close friend.”Stella turned around in shock at who was talking. She forgot that Rachel was with her inside the office. She was aware of her cousin’s friendship with Charles’ family. That’s why she was restless and annoyed with the man. It seems that now he wants her to pursue him and ask him to marry her.“I actually talked to Roy last night.”Stella raised her eyebrows at what she heard and looked at her friend. She smirked when her cheeks turned red and abruptly looked away from her.“Hey, we’re just friends, and he messaged me first,” Rachel explained defensively to her friend.“I’m not saying anything,” she said but lo
“Shit, what is it again, Diana?” Mauro asked the girl, yelling. It’s a good thing that there was no car following them because he suddenly stepped on the brake.“Sorry, I saw sister Meashelle’s favorite food,” Diana explained like a scolded child.Meashelle immediately got what the girl wanted to convey. “Ahh, that’s right. The truth is that I went with Señorita Diana to buy the food I really loved.”Mauro frowned and looked around to find the diner. But he sees nothing but street vendors.Meashelle looked at Diana questioningly, and she didn’t know what food she wanted to buy for her.Diana first glanced at Mauro. Seeing that his attention was not on them, she immediately whispered to Meashelle, which made her look flustered.Meashelle was suddenly in trouble because of the girl’s wish. She doesn’t know what to do and must tell Mauro so she doesn’t get suspicious.“Are you alright? Why haven’t you come down to buy?” Mauro asked the assistant.Diana elbowed Meashelle in her side. And
“Oh, eat this to get rid of your anger.” Meashelle gave a slice of mango to the girl as they walked to the entrance of the store.Diana immediately took a bite of it. She was about to ask for one more slice when she noticed two people looking intently at her. She slowly chewed what was in her mouth and continued to walk slowly.“Are they waiting for us?” Meashelle asked Diana in a whisper.Diana shrugged as she looked straight at Mauro. Well, he couldn’t see her eyes because she was wearing dark shades. He frowned again while looking at her. Her mouth was still full of mango slices, and she didn’t want to finish it right away. She is still enjoying the taste of the mango juice. She anchored on Meashelle’s arm, and when they were close to Mauro and Denise, they hurriedly past them.“Where are you going?” Mauro asked Diana sternly.“Going home.” She answered the young man in a muffled way because her mouth was still full and she didn’t bother to look at him.Mauro quickly chased after t
“Sir, try to put the ring on your fiancée’s finger to see if it fits her,” the saleswoman suggested while looking at Denise.Without a word, Mauro took the ring from the saleswoman and approached Diana. He carelessly took her palm to put the ring on her finger.Diana held herself not to moan in pain when Mauro carelessly grabbed her swollen hand. She withdrew her hand from his grasp, but he only tightened it so much that she was already shrugging.Mauro frowned and stared at the girl’s face. She was obviously hurt, and her lips pressed together tightly. When he looked at the back of her palm again, he noticed that it was red.Diana quickly withdrew her hand and moved it away from the young man. “I will measure it myself.” She extended her right palm in front of him.“What happened to your hand?” Instead, he asked the girl and did not give her the ring.“Nothing,” she responded coldly to Mauro and kept her palm open.Mauro sighed, and the woman’s behavior really changed. It’s like she
Fate 2Chapter 16: RingThe next day, Mauro’s driver picked Diana up after nine in the morning. She did not ask where the young man was. She’s still with Meashelle because it was what her grandfather wants, which is in her favor.“Why were we brought here?” Meashelle asked while looking up at a large and tall building.“This is where Mauro’s family’s company is,” Diana answered shortly before taking another bite of the mango. When she looked at the driver, his face could no longer be painted, and he was feeling sour from what she was eating.“I thought we were going to a jewelry shop and—”“Sir Mauro had something important to go to, so he’s not here yet. It was Sir Kobe who ordered that Ma’am Diana be brought here first,” the driver’s quick explanation.Meashelle glared at the driver and did not let her finish speaking. But he just smiled at her. She quickly put the other mangoes aside and put them in the bag she was carrying so that Diana could eat them again later.Diana hurriedly
Mauro just waited for his father to return before starting to talk about his marriage with Diana again.“Hija, when do you want to set the wedding and where?” Beth asked Diana.Diana was about to open her mouth, but Mauro preceded her to speak.“A simple wedding would be enough because you are in a hurry. Also, I don’t want many people to know about the wedding.”It was like a needle pierced Diana’s heart when she heard what Mauro said. It’s as if he said that he was ashamed of her as his wife, so he didn’t want people to know her. She would have answered the same, that she wanted a simple wedding ceremony. It’s just more painful to hear it from the mouth of the man she loves.“No way. Diana is my only granddaughter, and I want her to experience a fancy wedding! We have our own money; if it's because of the expenses, I’ll take care of it!” Vincent objected.Kobe sighed, and there will be another misunderstanding. “Señor, money is not a problem here!”“Grandpa, it’s alright. Mauro has
“Mauro, don’t be angry with her anymore. I’ll be the one to adjust so that our friendship doesn’t break.” She clung tightly to Mauro’s arm, and she acted as if she were falling.“No, she should have known by now that she can’t treat you like this if she wants us to have a good relationship in the future!” Mauro said firmly, staring intently at Diana.Diana’s lips pressed firmly together, and she tried to remind herself that she shouldn’t be hurt in the first place. She should not be angry and disappointed with Mauro. Above all, she didn’t need to explain, and she let him just look at her like that. She knows that he won’t believe her, so she shouldn’t show her real emotions. The expression she showed at the two was blank, and her mouth remained closed.Mauro was only irritated when Diana remained silent and he couldn’t read what was on her mind. He led his friend out of the dining room and left Diana.A strange smile appeared on Denise’s lips when she looked back at Diana. She showed
At dinner time, Mauro’s family arrived at Vincent’s mansion. They brought foods with them and people who will take care of the catering.“You shouldn’t have bothered bringing food.” Vincent smiled and shook Kobe’s hand.“This is a tradition in our culture,” Kobe replied formally to the old man.There seemed to be a big event inside the mansion when the meals were served. And right after the food was served, the staff also left.Mauro looked around when they entered the dining room. They will eat first before talking about the wedding between him and Diana.“My granddaughter is coming down,” Vincent informed when he noticed Mauro’s gaze, as if he were looking for something.Diana slowly went down the stairs even though she knew Mauro was already there with his family. She doesn’t know, but she doesn’t seem to want to see the young man, and it irritates her even just thinking about him. She was also sleepy, and Meashelle just woke her up earlier.Mauro frowned when he saw Diana. It look
Diana ran back to her room when the guests were gone. She rushed to the bathroom and immediately threw up that she had previously suppressed all throughout the interview. As time went on, her vomiting became more frequent. She has to hurry to get out of her grandfather’s house.Meashelle immediately followed the girl. She is worried, and it seems that her body has also been affected due to her pregnancy.“Sister Meashelle, do you think Grandpa doesn’t notice my condition?” Diana asked worriedly.“That’s what I always pray for,” she replied genuinely.Diana smiled and hugged the girl. Without her, she would certainly have no one else to lean on. She thought of a way to get out today. She has to go out to eat what she has been craving for a while now. As long as she does not eat any sour foods, she continues to throw up.In the living room, Vincent grinned after putting down the cellphone.“What’s the next plan, grandpa?” Vans asked as he approached his grandfather.“Let’s get ready bec
“Don Fausto, what do you think your cousin is thinking, and he is hastening the marriage of his granddaughter and my son now?” Kobe talked to the old man.“You should delay the planned gathering to also delay the plans he’s cooking,” Fausto suggested to Mauro’s father.Stella sighed as she listened to the meeting. She was disappointed with Diana earlier, especially from what she was wearing.“Then I’ll call them tomorrow morning,” Kobe’s decision.“It’s up to you to work together in the company from now on. I have to follow Ramon and my grandson to another country.”Mauro nodded understandingly to Stella’s grandfather. He will be Stella’s assistant in the company, and his position also increased. That’s probably what Vincent and his family see as an opportunity, so they want him to marry Diana.“Grandpa, don’t worry, and I will take care of the company.”Fausto smiled at Charles. He also has a lot of trust in him, and he knows that he can protect even his pregnant granddaughter.The e
