Diego and Stellina's attention was immediately drawn to Arianna's arrival. Arianna's sudden appearance left them both wide-eyed with surprise. Especially Diego who immediately curved a wide smile and turned around.
"Arianna!" Diego greeted as he stretched both hands forward. "Papa's daughter! You're so beautiful!"Arianna ran up to Diego with a smile on her face. At that moment, Arianna rushed into the arms of Diego, who had crouched down to align their bodies."Of course I'm beautiful! I'm going with mommy today!" Arianna exclaimed happily. The curve of a smile spread across her face.Hearing that, after their hug was over, Diego pretended to have a surprised expression. There was some enthusiasm on his face."Oh, really? No wonder you're wearing such pretty clothes," Diego commented as he looked Arianna up and down."Where are you going, Arianna? Hm?" Diego tensed Arianna's shoulders and gave her a curious look.BehindSeeing Arianna's persistent insistence, Diego couldn't say anything else in the end. Diego didn't want Arianna to protest without stopping. After sighing in defeat, he took out his black card and gave it to Stellina.Diego had an annoyed look on his face as he gave the black card to Stellina. "You used Arianna as a weapon. Very clever," he said exasperatedly.Stellina couldn't help but smile with satisfaction as Diego relented. She gladly accepted the black card from Diego's hand, giving him a mocking smile."Thank you, Papa. We can do a lot of shopping," Stellina teased Diego.Without answering, Diego just looked at Stellina with a bemused look. Diego shook his head in disbelief and pulled his cell phone out of his pocket."Hold on, let me call Fabian so I can keep you two company," Diego said as Stellina and Arianna were about to walk away.Stellina frowned. "I told Fabian earlier. Ah, there's Fabian."Diego stopped hi
"I heard that someone went out for fun yesterday. Who was it? Why isn't there any story about it?" Eston raised his voice as he stepped up to the dining table. His booming voice distracted Diego, Stellina, and Arianna who had gathered for breakfast.Eston's arrival and his words made Arianna immediately spread a smile. Enthusiastically, Arianna raised one hand while prancing in her seat."Me! Me!" Arianna replied exclaiming, her smiling smile unavoidable. "Yesterday I was the one who went to have fun with Mommy!"Eston was already sitting in his seat and was intrigued after hearing Arianna's words. He was slightly surprised to witness Arianna's enthusiastic reaction to his answer, briefly glancing at Stellina with an amused smile.Meanwhile, Stellina felt a bit nervous at being looked at by Eston. She did nothing but shake her head at Arianna's behavior, letting Arianna tell her story."Oh, is that so? Did you go with mom?" asked Eston as he picked up the cutlery.Diego and Stellina h
"She should have gotten that since the previous years, but unfortunately Vellina is not a person like you. So, thank you for loving Arianna sincerely."Hearing Diego's long-winded words left Stellina in a state of shock. Stellina didn't expect Diego to have such a normal side.For a split second, Stellina looked at Diego dumbfounded."Seriously, is this you, Diego?" asked Stellina. Seacra openly looked at Diego in disbelief.Diego frowned, confused by Stellina's reaction."What's wrong with you?" Diego asked back. "That's strange. I'm really grateful."Stellina could hardly say anything. Dumbfounded, Stellina finally released the laughter she had been holding in."Your figure is so strange. It's really not the Diego I know," Stellina retorted. "Ah, but nevertheless, I accept your gratitude. You should be grateful."Folding his arms across his chest, Diego frowned and smiled amusedly. Diego immediately let out a chuckle that made Stellina laugh."What's the meaning of your reaction?" D
Stellina really did not expect Matteo to come to her.Stellina's steps were in a hurry to get to her room. Her breathing was ragged as the panic continued to mount. She paid no attention to the servants who passed by, even reprimanding her. Stellina just wanted to get as far away as possible in order to avoid Matteo.She had only heard about Matteo from Diego's stories. She knew how bad of a person Matteo was until he became Diego's rival. But now Stellina was meeting Matteo face-to-face-and she had not prepared for this encounter at all.Feeling uneasy as she walked, Stellina bumped into the shoulder of one of the butlers. Stellina almost staggered backwards, instantly coming to her senses after having been almost lost in reverie."Mistress Stellina," greeted the butler who was also surprised to be bumped by Stellina.In front of the butler, Stellina was stunned for a few moments. It took time for her to digest what had just happened. Her mind was still racing as Matteo caressed her
It had been almost twenty minutes since Stellina had been silent in front of Eston's room. As she stood, Stellina was still thinking about what she needed to say during the discussion with Eston. Stellina's mind suddenly went blank, even though she had prepared herself before standing here."Why does it feel like I can't say anything?" asked Stellina, muttering to herself. "I had imagined the direction of the conversation with Eston, but now..."Stellina immediately grimaced as she scratched her temple briefly. The conversation she had prepared moments ago became abstract in her head."Calm down, Stellina. You must remember the conversation you prepared earlier," Stellina said once again to herself.There was honestly nothing to worry about. But Stellina's position was that of a fake version of Vellina. There were many things about Vellina that Stellina did not know. If suddenly in the middle of a conversation, Eston said something she did not understand and led to suspicion, it could
Stellina didn't stop feeling uneasy.Since yesterday, Arianna had been suffering from a fever. Stellina had repeatedly checked Arianna's forehead to see how she was doing. But it turned out that one day after yesterday, Arianna's condition had not improved. Stellina's heart sank as she saw Arianna lying on the bed, asleep.Stellina finished putting a compress on Arianna's forehead. After that, she straightened up and watched Arianna with a sad look on her face."Arianna, why are you so sick all of a sudden?" muttered Stellina while letting out a nervous breath at the end of her sentence.Arianna of course did not answer.Not wanting to disturb Arianna, Stellina finally turned around and walked out of the room. Stellina closed the door slowly, then stepped slowly into the dining room not far away.At the dining table, Diego had just sat down and picked up the cutlery. Eston was absent today as he had to attend to his work. Stellina followed to the dining table, sat down opposite Diego
The car Fabian was driving stopped in an area of deserted shophouses. There were hardly any people around this place.For a moment, Fabian looked around with a doubtful look on his face. For some reason, his gut feeling was suddenly uncomfortable. Suddenly, the bad possibility of being in a deserted and non-elite area like this flashed in Fabian's brain."Finally arrived. I really miss this place. It feels like so many years since I visited," Stellina said from the back row of the passenger seat.Fabian didn't answer yet. His eyes squinted behind his sunglasses as he took in the surroundings. Although the shophouses here were not actually slum shophouses, Fabian's instincts still felt something unpleasant.Because there was only silence and Fabian did not answer, Stellina stopped her movement. The look on Stellina's face showed astonishment at Fabian who did not give any answer.Stellina frowned and sat down to watch Fabian from the small rearview mirror above. Fabian seemed to be wat
The sound of gunfire repeatedly echoed in this area. Stellina and Fabian, who had already struggled to get out of the car, walked quietly but quickly away from the scene. The car Fabian was driving was tilted and almost overturned.While running with a bent body, Fabian tried to spread his coat behind Stellina's back. Bullets from the guns of the men dressed in black flew all around.Stellina was really trembling with fear as she ran with the sound of those gunshots. Now she and Fabian didn't know which direction to go. Their minds were instantly blown.DOR!DOR!"ARGH!" Fabian's body immediately jerked when a bullet managed to hit his left arm.Stellina widened her eyes in surprise. She almost screamed when she saw Fabian suddenly almost lose his balance. She just wanted to know how Fabian was doing, but Fabian's hand that was holding a suit - and also hit by a bullet - kept pushing Stellina's back forward.Until finally Stellina and Fabian could find the turn of a small alley.
