Arianna, Vellina's daughter, arrived early for the dinner, unaware of the intricate web of deception unfolding around her. As Stellina continued to portray Vellina, she found it increasingly challenging to maintain her antagonistic facade in the presence of the innocent child.Stellina's inherent fondness for children and her nurturing nature couldn't be suppressed, even in her current role. Despite her efforts to stay true to the impersonation, she couldn't help but show glimpses of kindness and warmth toward Arianna. Stellina's genuine smiles and gentle gestures caught Arianna by surprise, yet the young girl couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort and affection in Stellina's presence.As the dinner progressed, Stellina found herself subtly engaging with Arianna, bending the rigid boundaries of her impersonation. She would exchange playful glances, offer small acts of kindness, and listen attentively to Arianna's innocent tales. These moments brought a spark of joy to Stellina's he

Diego went outside and turned to one of the maids, instructing her to bring Arianna to their room. "Go and fetch Arianna," he said with a firm tone, the authority in his voice evident. The maid nodded and quickly left the room to fulfill his request.Once they were alone again, Diego shifted his gaze back to Stellina. He took a moment to compose himself, as if contemplating his next words. The atmosphere in the room grew tense, as if something significant was about to be revealed.‌"I want to express something to you, Stellina," Diego began, his voice slightly softer than before. "I appreciate how well you've connected with Arianna. She means everything to me, and seeing her happy and cared for brings me a sense of gratitude that I can't easily put into words."‌Stellina, surprised by the sincerity in Diego's voice, remained silent, waiting for him to continue. She had expected him to be cold and distant, but this unexpected vulnerability intrigued her.‌Diego paused for a moment, as

Arianna, rubbing her sleepy eyes, peered at the scene unfolding before her. Confusion painted her innocent face as she tried to make sense of the tension lingering in the air. "What's happening, Mama? Why did you tell Papa to leave the room?"‌Stellina's heart softened at the sight of her daughter, her concerns shifting from her own discomfort to Arianna's well-being. She hurriedly approached her, gently brushing aside strands of hair from Arianna's face. "Oh, sweetheart, it's nothing to worry about. Mama and Papa were just having a disagreement. But everything is fine now."‌Arianna's brows furrowed as she clung to her mother's words, seeking reassurance. "But why were you arguing, Mama? Did I do something wrong?" Arianna's eyed rounded with a sparkly accent inside it, as she felt really concerned.‌Stellina's gaze softened with affection as she held Arianna close. "No, darling, it's not your fault. Mama and Papa sometimes have different opinions, but we love each other very much.

Gina looked at Stellina, perplexed by the sudden change in Vellina's demeanor. It was quite different from the usual arrogance and self-centeredness that characterized Vellina's behavior. Diego, noticing Gina's confusion, gave Stellina a gentle nudge on the shoulder. Stellina paused for a moment, quickly grasping the situation.‌"Ahem. I mean, no need to be sorry! Just make sure it doesn't happen again," Stellina declared, mustering a bossy tone in an attempt to impersonate Vellina. The room fell into an awkward silence, the weight of the situation hanging in the air.‌“Ahem” Diego breaks the silence with a cough. “Well, since you’re here, Gina. Won’t you please take care of Arianna? I have something important to speak with my wife.”‌“Ehh. But I still want to be with mama and papa!” Arianna pouts, showing her protest.‌“Arianna. Don’t play around now. This is an important adult matter.” Diego refutes harshly.‌“That’s what you and mama always said! I can sleep together with mama

Stellina was stunned when Diego's car stopped at a motel instead of the mansion where they lived.Diego's car engine had died after being parked on the motel grounds. At that moment, no one spoke to each other. Stellina and Diego were still trapped in an atmosphere of tension. Ever since the incident at Stellina's father's factory, she knew that Diego's resentment toward her had not disappeared.While unbuckling her seat belt, Stellina thought about letting the situation between them remain silent. But Stellina suddenly felt uncomfortable as she saw Diego's piercing gaze through the glass above them."Why are you taking me to a motel? We're not going back to the mansion?" Finally Stellina, who couldn't help herself from the constant silence, spoke up.Unfortunately, Diego gave no reaction or answer. He was also in no mood to look at Stellina and was still unfastening his seat belt. Even the look on Diego's face was one of annoyance for who knows what reason.Stellina immediately sighe
