It was as if a thorn was pulled out of Dianaâs whole body when her back hit the soft bed. âThank you!â She smiled sadly at Meashelle.Meashelle smiled at the woman with her mouth closed. She really felt sorry for her, and she knew that she would have to deal with something else when she was allowed to leave the house. âAvoid the doctor touching your wrist when she examines your body.âDiana nodded when she heard her friendâs whisper. After a while, the doctor arrived with her grandfather. She checked the wound on her back as well as her body temperature.âAfter a few more days, her wound will be dry. I have a cream to apply to the scars left by her wound so that it wonât be obvious when she comes out. She needs to continue taking antibiotics to prevent infections.ââDid you hear what the doctor said?â Vincent talks to his granddaughter.Diana quickly nodded to her grandfather and thanked the doctor. She was about to hold her hand, but she quickly avoided the doctorâs palm. She acted a
Charles formally faced those present and looked straight. âFirst of all, I married Stella not because of the company. I have my own company, and its foundation is solid. To make it short, Stella was already my wife, and we have a child.âEveryone was shocked to hear the revelation from Charles; they were staring at the man in disbelief. Even Vans was surprised by this sudden admission of Charles. He had an idea about Stellaâs pregnancy then, but he didnât think the child was actually alive.âLike you said, you used to be married. It means you broke up and you only got her back when you found out she was the granddaughter of a billionaire.âCharles looked at Luis, who had been arguing for a while. It also looks like he has a strong will and is not afraid of being ousted from his current position.âMr. Luis, weâre in a new generation now, and itâs normal to have misunderstandings in a relationship or companionship. Charles and I love each other; thatâs why we got back together, and itâs
Fausto welcomed his cousinâs burning gaze with a smile. He knows that this position of his as chairman is what he dreamed of the most. He will let him experience the role as CEO first, but he wonât make it long either.Stella proudly shook hands with those who were there with her husband. Many were afraid to disagree because of her grandfatherâs threat earlier.âThank you very much for welcoming me today as your chairman. I will promise to keep the company stable and take care of your interest with the help of Mr. CEO.â Stella looked at Vincent with a smile.Vincent was also forced to smile and approached Stella to join her in the front. Right, he has a big role in the company, so he shouldnât be so angry right now. He will let the new chairman trust him fully. He secretly smirked as he faced everyone.âDonât worry, Grandpa Vincent, if you are removed from your position in the company, one of your grandchildren will take your place. But maybe you have an idea who Iâm talking about?â S
Diana quickly sorted herself out when she heard that her brother and grandfather had returned home. After a while, her brother entered her room.âHow are you feeling?ââIâm fine,â she answered flatly to her brother.She didnât flinch when her brother touched her chin and examined her cheeks. He ensures that there is no trace of their violence on her face. Next, he looked at her arm. There is a scar there that is noticeable when cream is not applied.âFrom now on, when you go out, you will wear longsleeve clothes so that they wonât notice whatâs on your shoulder. If youâre going to wear sleeveless, make sure you put cream on it.âShe didnât answer her brother and just let him check on her skin.âGet ready next week, and you will attend the event that will be held at the company. Donât make a mistake this time because that manâs life will be the price if you repeat the mistake you made before.âDianaâs teeth gritted, but her expression remained blank. She shot a cold look at her brother
After Stella spoke in the middle of the stage, loud applause echoed around her until the noise gradually subsided.The smile that plastered on the lips of the people who were looking at Stella gradually disappeared and was replaced by surprise as they turned to the person who was the one who was left clapping. The middle crowd spontaneously cleared to see the person standing behind who was continuing to cheer with a wide smile.Charles quickly moved to his wifeâs side when he saw Vincent, who was the center of attention for his wife. It looks like he did it on purpose to come late, and he smiled beautifully while still gently clapping.âSorry for being late. Congratulations to our newly appointed chairman!â Vincent even stretched his arms out as he stared at Stella with a smile.Stella smiled back and approached the old man. âThank you so much! I thought you wouldnât come to show me your support,â Stella said meaningfully to the old man. She knew he was faking his smile too.âThat won
âDon Fausto, what do you think your cousin is thinking, and he is hastening the marriage of his granddaughter and my son now?â Kobe talked to the old man.âYou should delay the planned gathering to also delay the plans heâs cooking,â Fausto suggested to Mauroâs father.Stella sighed as she listened to the meeting. She was disappointed with Diana earlier, especially from what she was wearing.âThen Iâll call them tomorrow morning,â Kobeâs decision.âItâs up to you to work together in the company from now on. I have to follow Ramon and my grandson to another country.âMauro nodded understandingly to Stellaâs grandfather. He will be Stellaâs assistant in the company, and his position also increased. Thatâs probably what Vincent and his family see as an opportunity, so they want him to marry Diana.âGrandpa, donât worry, and I will take care of the company.âFausto 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
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 grandfatherâs house.Meashelle immediately followed the girl. She is worried, and it seems that her body has also been affected due to her pregnancy.âSister Meashelle, do you think Grandpa doesnât notice my condition?â Diana asked worriedly.âThatâs what I always pray for,â 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.âWhatâs the next plan, grandpa?â Vans asked as he approached his grandfather.âLetâs get ready bec
At dinner time, Mauroâs family arrived at Vincentâs mansion. They brought foods with them and people who will take care of the catering.âYou shouldnât have bothered bringing food.â Vincent smiled and shook Kobeâs hand.âThis is a tradition in our culture,â 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.âMy granddaughter is coming down,â Vincent informed when he noticed Mauroâs 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 doesnât know, but she doesnât 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
Stella smiled when she saw her sonâs arrival, carrying his sleeping wife. Charles did the same for her when she was pregnant with Jenny. She was glad that Zion inherited his fatherâs love even when he was arrogant.âWhereâs Dad, Mom?â Zion asked softly as he kissed his motherâs cheek.âHeâs sleeping, and it looks like your wife infected him.ââSorry, Mom, Iâll take my wife to our room first.âStella smiled as she nodded. Her daughter-in-law is still asleep.As soon as he put his wife down on the bed, she immediately rolled over to the other side of the bed. He even chased after her because he was afraid she would fall. She lay on her stomach and just stopped spinning. He immediately took the large pillow and placed it on her side so that she would not roll. He hurried to find underwear and wore it to his wife so that she could not remember later when she woke up that he had torn her favorite underwear.During dinner, he woke up his wife to eat forcefully. But she was furious with him
Zion couldnât answer his mom, who was still on the other line, because his wife kissed him like she was hungry. He was trying to respond to her kiss, but she harshly released his lips. That was fucking crazy! He was too excited!âZion, you go home early, and your wife might be hungry again,â Stella reminded her son again as she was busy looking inside the refrigerator for what she could cook.âYes, Mom.â Zion seems forced to agree to his mother. âI have to go, Mom; I still have something to finish,â Zion added. He grabbed his wife by the neck and kissed her on the lips.Stellaâs forehead wrinkled. She turned the cellphone away from sticking it to her ear. She stared at the cellphone, as if she could see her son there. The call was off, so she couldn't even ask her son why he seemed to be breathing hard. She brushed the thoughts away. Maybe she is just overthinking.When Zion put his cellphone down, his lips were slightly parted when he saw his wife only wearing a bra and underwear. He
Zion sighed when her parents were no longer around. He suddenly felt tired. He sat on the edge of the sofa where his wife was sleeping. Then, he slowly lifted his wifeâs head to put it on his thighs. It was still fast asleep, and it didnât even move from what he did. He smiled as her lips moved and slightly sharpened. He restrained himself from kissing her lips as if tempting him. He just closed his eyes and rested himself first.Alexa woke up as if it were humid around her. She was about to get up when she noticed that she was lying on someoneâs thigh. She immediately lifted her gaze, and her eyes met her husbandâs handsomeness. It looks like he just slept.She slowly got up and brought her gaze around. She searched for her parents-in-law but couldnât find anyone else there. They seem to have left her. She held her cheek when something dripped there. âWhy am I crying?â she wondered.Alexa pursed her lips and quickly wiped away her tears. But she was really crying, and she was feeling
âZionâĶâ Rita paused to approach the man when she met his sharp gaze. âIâm really sorry!ââBecause of what you did, other employees almost lost their jobs.â Every word Zion uttered was cold and emphasized.Rita bowed her head. She couldnât speak much in front of everyone because she was so shy. âI just love you so much that I did that.âInstead of feeling pity, Zion was just getting anxious with the girl. She was carrying her stuff and is ready to leave. âItâs not my fault that you are still hoping that I will love you back. Many of them also like you if you only open your heart and mind and give them a chance to enter your heart.âRita sighed. She knew the man could not understand her because he had never experienced love for someone who could not return the love. Zion was right; itâs not his fault that she expected too much from him. She should be blaming herself for being crazily in love with Zion.âMy wife didnât do anything awful against you, and she has not kidnapped me from you,
Alexa sighed. She doesnât want them to think she was unfair. And she won because her parents-in-law and her husband were there. âEven if you havenât slipped in confessing, I can prove that you have a worse attitude and you insulted my personality earlier.â She smiled and pulled out her cellphone. Everyone was surprised. And it seemed like a threat to them.Jenâs knees suddenly weakened when Alexa played the audio recorder. She could hear her voice while she was insulting the woman.Rita was embarrassed and bowed her head as her voice echoed in the audio. She even ordered the guard not to let the woman enter again. She could feel Zionâs sharp gaze on her, and she knew that the man was furious at her now. At this time, she prefers to be like a bubble.âWho called my daughter-in-law my husbandâs mistress?â Stellaâs eyes flickered as she looked at everyone there. She has never been scandalous, especially in her company, but after hearing the audio record, her horn really came out. She wan
âNo need! I know youâre ashamed of me now because I look ridiculous here and am just making up a story to be embarrassed.â She looked up at Zion sharply and wanted to scratch him in the face because she was so annoyed.Zion clenched his fist, holding his emotion. He was more hurt by how his wife is acting now than by accusing him. Heâd like to approach her again, but she shook him away.âDo you believe in that woman who claimed you to be her fiancÃĐ?â She pointed to Rita. She was shaking out her annoyance.âHija, calm down. Thatâsââ Stella paused when the woman sobbed. She suddenly hugged Charles.âDad, you believe me, right?â She sounds pathetic, but there is this mixture of emotion inside her, which she couldnât understand.Charles glanced at the womanâs face pityingly. She looked like a bullied kid. âYes, hija. Donât cry anymore. Donât worry, and Iâll get rid of the liars!âJen got pale and scared that when the chairman had proven she was one among those lying, she would surely get
Everyone was quiet again when they saw the chairmanâs wife, and she was obviously furious. They are no longer wondering or surprised why they see that aura in the ladyâs face. It is also right that the CEO has arrived and gotten closer to his mother.Rita quickly moved. She almost ran to Zion before greeting the lady. âZion, have you been here in a while now?âZion was unable to avoid his arm when Rita clung to it. When he looked at his mother, she was obviously furious, and she seemed to know that his wife was upset with him.Rita smiled even though the man didnât answer her. She turned her gaze to the lady. âAunt, is there a problem?âStella tried to smile at the woman. She was about to answer when she saw her daughter-in-law, along with her husband, coming.âSeriously, she really has the guts and is proud to come out to show all of us how much the chairman loved her,â Jen whispered and couldnât believe it while looking at the hand of the woman anchoring the gentlemanâs arm.Rita he
âIâm so sorry, sir. I didnât know he was your wife.â The security guardâs head slightly bowed. He couldnât avoid being fearful of losing his job because of this misunderstanding incident.âLetâs talk later!â Zion gave him a cold look before passing him. He quickly followed his wife and his father.Everyoneâs judgmental gazes followed the chairman and his female companion. They were not expecting that the woman was so valuable to the gentlemanâs life.âThat woman will definitely report that Maâam Rita has bullied her!â said an employee.âEven though she will complain or report, she was just a mistress, and it was certain that the chairmanâs wife would side with Maâam Rita,â said another employee.Other employees agreed. Each of them gave opinions, and all of their opinions turned out negative. But they were quiet when they saw the CEO coming.âThat woman will be screwed up, and the CEO will see her!â The lady employee whispered, grinning.Zion looked at the employees. They seemed to be
âHoney, you should take care of her like a baby because of her delicate conception. Give her whatever she wants from you.ââOkay, Iâll look for her, and maybe sheâs jealous of what she heard earlier.âStellaâs eyes widened after hearing her husbandâs story. She wasn't expecting that Rita had the guts to demand anything from her son. If she were in Alexaâs position, she would be jealous. She went to the room and put on a new outfit. She has to follow her daughter-in-law. She is genuinely afraid that something might happen to her because of jealousy. The trip was rapid since the companyâs location was nearby.When Charles got out of the office, he couldnât find anyone in the hallway. Everyone appeared to be busy with their work, which is obviously a matter since itâs still work hours. She was about to go to her sonâs office to find out if his rebellious daughter-in-law was there.âHello, Mr. Chairman.â Jen slightly bowed her head when she saw the gentleman.âDid you notice the girl I wa
