The breakfast continued until Ethan looked up at Davis and decided to bring up yesterday's matter. "Where were you last night?" He stopped eating and asked.Davis' hands stopped moving and he slowly looked up at his father, even Stephanie looked up at him, wanting to hear what he was going to say. Davis cleared his throat as he tried to keep a smooth composure."I was working on something important," he replied. 'Sure you were' his inner mind added and he could only just shut his eyes tight not wanting to remember anything that happened last night."So will you mind telling us what you were working on last night?" Stephanie asked and Davis turned to look at her with a glare. Come to think of it, she must have been the one who drugged him, I mean this woman loathed him more than the devil himself that is if she even loathed the devil."I just said that I was working, what exactly would I be working on if it's not the company's upcoming projects, hmm?" He replied nonchalantly as he sipp
Back to Stella's apartment. It was already five in the evening and Jace was still not back yet, Hannah had led Stella to her room to sleep not after making her take a hot shower. Right now, Stella was tucked in bed as she slept like a baby while Hannah was in the kitchen busy making some soups for her. When Stella finished crying, which took over three hours, she went down with a cold and some headaches. She has been shivering in bed non-stop. Even in her sleep, she was still shivering.The door forcefully kicked open and Jace stepped in with a worried look on his face. "Mom, I got the medicine. Where's Stella and how is she now?" He asked all at once."Stella is sleeping, please don't wake her up, drop the medicine on the table quitely" Hannah replied not taking her eyes off the soup.Jace nodded and immediately did as told, after dropping the medicine, he dipped his hands into his pocket as he moved closer to his mother. "Mom, can I go see Stella now?" He asked and Hannah faced him.
Jace went back to the room and met Hannah tucking Stella back to bed, ignoring her complaints that she was alright already. Hannah noticed that Jace had come back so she turned to face him immediately."Who was that?" She asked."Arya, she came to return Stella's bag" he replied as he placed the bag on the small table that was Inside Stella's room.Stella creased her brows, "Arya was here? Why didn't she come in?" She asked slowly."She said she was late for work so she'll come see you in the evening" he sighed."Oh" Stella muttered and released a sigh. "Can you pass me my bag please" she added and Jace immediately did as told."Thank you" she let out a low smile as she collected it from Jace and Hannah stood up tiredly. "Jace, let's give your sister some space to be alone, come take this plate to the sink and wash it" she stretched her arms as she told him that."Mom! Really?" Jace frowned and Hannah whipped her gaze towards him with a stunning look. "What, do you expect me or Stella
Stella rubbed her eyes more then twice to check if she was seeing double but she was not, it was right there looking intact. An alert of one fifty million dollars was right there in her phone and she didn't even know where it came from, she didn't know who sent it or how it got there."Mom" she carried her phone and stepped out of the room, still in her towel. "Mom" she got to the living room and met Hannah cleaning up all the couches."Yes sweetie, good morning how was your night" Hannah immediately abandoned the duster and moved closer to Stella, she placed her hands on her forehead and neck, checking if she was down with another fever.Stella gently pushed her mom's hands off, "I'm fine mom, I wanted to show you something" she said, bringing out her phone. "What's wrong?" Hannah asked and Stella stretched the phone up to her face. "See for yourself mom" she replied, Hannah creased her brows as she looked at Stella's phone then she slowly collected it. Her eyes grew bigger as she l
Seeing that Stella was quiet, Charles grew more worried thinking that she was really mad at him for not coming yesterday. Why didn't he come visit her last night? Why did he focus more on getting promoted than visiting his sick Girlfriend but now it was too late to worry because there was nothing he could do anymore. What's done is done, he can't turn back the time so she's just going to apologize to her and make her see how much he's sorry but Charles doesn't know that he was wrong. He knocked again and this time Stella opened it, looking a bit nervous but was still trying her best to maintain a stable composure. Charles didn't even have time to study her facial expression, he just pulled her into a tight hug and began apologizing to her. "I'm sorry honey, forgive me. I know you're mad at me because I was supposed to come see you earlier but I didn't. I caused your fever because I was really obsessed with getting promoted in the company, I'm a really bad boyfriend please forgive me"
Two weeks later.These past two weeks were filled with a lot of things. Stella managed to gather up money for Jace to resume school and it wasn't from the unknown money though her mom kept having the suspicions that the money was from the man who had raped her but Stella didn't believe it. For all she knows, Davis McClure was a very ruthless man, he raped her while ignoring all of her pleadings, he took her dignity and destroyed her life so now, she has nothing other than hate for this man. Pure hatred.Stella doesn't work at the bar anymore, she felt really scared and ashamed to go back there so she's always helping her mom in her pastry shop where she makes really good bread and snacks. As for Charles,she hasn't heard from him, the last time she tried calling him she found out that he had blocked her number and not just that, he blocked her from all means of social media. He really hates and never wants to see her again because she had hurt him so much.Feeling the tears that were w
It was already 7:30 in the evening , Stella had already gone back home to dress up and the moment she was done dressing, she met Jace sitting on the couch and playing games as usual.This brother of hers! Why doesn't he learn!? She sneered inwardly and stormed over to him. "Why aren't you in the pastry shop helping mom?" She crossed her arms together as she looked at him in a scolding manner."But mom is fine doing it on her own" he replied and before he knew it the game control was snatched from his hands. "Sis!!" He cried out."Go help mom, I'm going out with Arya and mom might need some help" she said angrily."But sis I--""What's wrong, you don't wanna help mom?" Jace only mumbled for Stella to cut him off."Fine!" He stood up and left the house, mumbling something to himself, probably wondering why Stella was behaving weird these days.When Jace left, Stella added a bit of powder on her face. She tapped her cheeks repeatedly seeing that it was bloated before leaving the house. W
Stella stared at Arya confusedly still not getting what she was trying to say. What does she mean by she was the cause of her getting raped like what the hell!?"What are you talking about Arya?" Stella asked slowly and more tears came out of Arya's eyes. She gripped Stella's hands even tighter. "I drugged you that night at the party" she said.Stella slowly removed her hands from Arya's, still staring at her, "What did you say?" She asked slowly and Arya wiped the new set of tears that were about to fall from her eyes. "Can you stop crying and speak, what do you mean by you drugging me that night!!" Stella yelled, dragging attention to their side.Arya gulped all the saliva down her throat at once the moment she saw Stella's face. Her eyes were sparkling with nothing but anger and it looked like hellfire was burning through them, it almost burnt her skin too."Can you talk to Arya! What do you mean by you drugged me that night" Stella repeated and her tone shows that she was running
