Altezza glanced at her phone. An unknown number was calling. "Hello?" she asked without taking her eyes off her work."Is this Mr. Altezza?" a voice on the other end replied."Who is this?" she asked coldly."It's me. Cindy. Jovanka's assistant," the voice stuttered."What is it? Didn't I say not to contact me again?" he said harshly.There was a rustling sound from the other end. "Um. It's. Jovanka," the woman sounded panicked."She's not my concern anymore. So don't contact me again," Altezza then abruptly hung up the phone.Shortly after the call ended, her office door swung open. The woman who had been the subject of the phone call appeared. She looked stunning in an expensive and sexy outfit."Honey," she greeted. Her gaze seemed unfocused."What are you doing here?" Altezza asked rudely. Her secretary hurried in behind her."S-Sir. I’m sorry. She came in while I was in the bathroom," her secretary said fearfully."It's okay, just go back to your room," Altezza commanded flatly.

"We only found out during lunch today. People were whispering, and it turns out it's all about this.""It seems that soon the journalists will be looking for the truth. And I think Adaline shouldn't go to the office for a while, especially since her condition doesn't allow it," Tessa glanced at her friend. Her face was slightly flushed after finishing her warm sweet tea.Delila nodded. She reached for her phone again and called Antony. "Yes, Adaline is at home.""...""It's okay, Antony. I understand. But please, Adaline might not be able to work for a few days ahead. For more details, I'll consult with her obstetrician first.""...""Yes, thank you, dear.""..."She hung up the phone. Delila stroked Adaline's forehead again. "The doctor will come shortly. You eat first, okay?" she asked gently.Adaline just nodded faintly. She didn't even have the energy to speak.Adaline could only manage to put three spoonfuls of food into her mouth. But even that was an improvement.The doctor arr

Altezza parked his car on the side of the house as usual, a habit he'd maintained since long ago. Although he no longer had spare keys to the house, old habits die hard. He knocked on the iron door several times until the figure of a middle-aged woman he knew appeared."Is Jovanka in?" he asked, to which the woman nodded in response. Altezza followed her inside, heading towards the kitchen and choosing to wait in the family room. In the past, Altezza would have gone straight upstairs to Jovanka's room. But this time, he refrained. He was a stranger now, so he was mindful of his position."Altezza, Honey, you're here," the woman exclaimed. She looked elegant in a maroon long-sleeved dress with a knee-length skirt, her face beaming.She half-ran towards Altezza, trying to kiss him, but he dodged."I came to talk," Altezza said flatly. He glanced at Cindy, Jovanka's assistant, and Evans, her manager."Speak," Jovanka's demeanor turned cold. "I don't have much time; I have an event with o

Joanna widened her eyes at the 40-inch flat screen, shocked to see the news being broadcasted on one of the TV stations where her fellow model colleague was currently being interviewed.Once again, she felt blindsided. This time, it was her close friend, Adaline, being disparaged by her friend, Jovanka. And she had just found out about it.It was all because of her manager who always restricted her from using her phone and social media.Joanna glared at her manager. "You're really heartless, Fer!" she shouted, disregarding the hotel guests who were enjoying their snacks. "This is not trivial, Fer. My friend is the subject of discussion here.""Joan. I know you care about Jovanka, but...""Care about Jovanka? I couldn't care less about her!" Joanna snapped again.Her somewhat timid manager furrowed his brows and then widened his eyes with his mouth agape."Give me back my phone!" she demanded.Her manager retrieved the flat object from his bag and handed it to Joanna. Joanna searched f

Adaline could only stare at the TV blankly. Eventually, what she tried to hide from her mother-in-law and aunt was exposed. Adaline and her mother-in-law had agreed to cover up the bad news that Jovanka was currently spreading. That's why ever since Adaline brought her mother-in-law and aunt to Delila's residence, they tried their best to keep both middle-aged women away from the television and engage them in various activities. Whether it was cooking, gardening, or just chatting. Turning on the TV was something they actively avoided.However, this afternoon, Delila was careless. Violet turned on the television right when a program interviewing Jovanka was airing, and both women were transfixed by the contents of the interview. And during the commercial break, their eyes turned towards her."Is there...?" both her mother and aunt asked simultaneously. Adaline could only offer them her smile."It's all just slander, Ma, Aunty," she said reassuringly. "That woman used to be Altezza's gi
