Stella said nothing. She closed her mouth and looked straight at the kidnapper. Then, she looked up at the couple holding onto each other and smiled. “Weston, I told you that I would die, and that they never had the intention of letting me live. Why won’t you believe me?”Having said that, before anyone could react, Stella’s expression suddenly changed and she took a step back, swiftly attacking the kidnapper’s eyes.“Ah!” the kidnapper yelled. He had strengthened his hold on Stella so they were swaying together over at the edge.“What are you trying to do, you mad woman?!”Stella smirked, looking resolute. “Didn’t you want me to die? Since I’m going to die either way, let’s die together!”“What are you doing? Stop!”“Stop? Have you ever given me a chance to live? Rather than being taken away by you guys and tortured and humiliated to death, I’d rather take you down with me here!”The kidnapper had never thought she would be this insane to want to perish together. “Don’t be rash

The rooftop was eerily quiet.Weston stared at his empty hands, refusing to believe he had just watched Stella fall down…He didn’t even manage to grab the hem of her clothes.The world suddenly fell silent.Guinevere’s panic shouts rang beside his ears, but Weston didn’t hear them. His eyes looked void of emotion as if he couldn’t see or hear. His chest felt empty.Then, an overwhelming pain took over, hurting him so much that he found it difficult to breathe.This feeling felt so foreign that even he didn’t understand it. Why… were his eyes red like a madman’s?‘Stella…‘Stella…’For a moment there, Weston felt detached from this world. He could only hear a woman’s screams getting sharper and sharper, laced with a fear she couldn’t suppress…“Weston! Weston Ford, what are you doing?!”Guinevere’s eyes widened in shock as she hugged her stomach and shouted hysterically like a madwoman. “Quick! Hurry up and seize him! Hurry!”…The howling wind whistled beside her ears.T

Even if they were curious, no one had the guts to give the Ford family trouble.Ahn City was a city of profound history where many wealthy families resided.There was an urban rumor that any wealthy family in Ahn City’s upper-class society could easily overwhelm an entire city.Weston’s wealth was national level, so it wasn’t difficult for him to suppress this incident.At the family manor, a white Bentley slowly entered the compound.Weston was going through some documents while Guinevere sat beside him.They were only inches apart, but it felt like there was a huge gap between them.Guinevere had grown up with Weston and knew that he was an aloof man who rarely showed emotion.The incident that day was still vivid in her mind.Weston had chosen her, just as she hoped.And Stella was no longer a threat, so she had nothing to worry about anymore.She could have put away her unbridled suspicion and be with him now, but…Guinevere looked conflicted. Whenever she stopped think

At the Ford family manor, Weston could sense the unusual atmosphere the instant he stepped inside the house.The Ford family had been waiting for them. Each person wore varying expressions, but they all looked grim and somewhat disapproving.Weston ignored their scrutiny and took his seat. Guinevere had wanted to enter the house holding onto Weston’s arm, so she felt momentarily embarrassed. However, she quickly regained her composure and sat down beside Weston.She smiled modestly and greeted her seniors at the table. “Sorry to have kept everyone waiting. We were running a little late.”Guinevere was a genuine socialite. Her conduct and etiquette were commendable, and she carried herself in a noble way.This was a Ford family banquet, and Guinevere was considered part of the family now.“It’s alright. If I’m not mistaken, your due date should be soon.” The person who spoke was Weston’s mother, Wendy Thomas. She smiled kindly and added, “It’s better to be careful during your co

Even the other family members looked over with confusion. Guinevere and Weston’s marriage was acquiesced by both families. At first, no one had urged Weston about it because they thought that Weston had other plans as he usually did.But now, rather than having other plans, it seemed like he was having other thoughts instead.Finally, it was Chris who broke the silence. “I’ve been hearing rumors lately. Do you have other considerations in mind?”When he said this, nosy people who enjoyed conflict got involved. “I’ve heard some nasty rumors claiming that Weston… has a woman on the side!”“Xavier! Who allowed you to speak?!” Chris growled at him, visibly enraged.By another woman, Xavier meant Stella.Outsiders may not be aware, but Chris couldn’t be deceived, and neither could his dear brother, Xavier, be kept in the dark as well.Xavier was Chris’s younger brother, but he was only a few years older than Weston.As Xavier was a child Old Mr. Ford had during his golden years, h

The atmosphere at the dining table mellowed down.Xavier looked back and forth between the two with mild interest. He let out a soft chuckle laced with sarcasm but didn’t let anyone catch him in the act.Weston didn’t answer. He merely reached forward to ladle Guinevere a bowl of soup.However, his hands paused in midair for a moment as an untimely scene flashed through his mind.He remembered Stella’s back profile as she busied herself in the kitchen.This table was filled with dishes prepared by a renowned chef so it was of significant standard, but Weston suddenly remembered Stella’s dishes instead…She had never made anything too fancy, and they were mostly average home cooked meals. However, each dish tasted great and he wondered where she had learned to cook like that.Weston had to socialize a lot so he rarely ate at home.At first, none of the dishes Stella made were to his liking. He lost interest after glancing at them and only took a few bites to please her.When th

Guinevere’s cautious and confused expression made Wendy laugh on the inside.However, she didn’t show it. She merely patted the back of Guinevere’s hand with a kind look on her face. “No way. We’ll be family soon, so I won’t be as courteous toward you as I would with guests. But if you mind it…”Guinevere was surprised and quickly said, “I don’t mind. I just thought you had some misunderstanding toward me… I’m sorry.”She looked Wendy in the eyes, but then averted her gaze out of guilt. Then, she picked up a glass and held it to her lips as if trying to conceal her emotions.…On the balcony, Chris drew the curtains of the French windows. Weston snorted a laugh. “Are you feeling guilty? Afraid that someone would overhear?”When it was only the two of them, Chris no longer put on airs, but instead looked exhausted. “I know you feel aggrieved about this… But Gwen loves you so much, and the child… it still has the Ford family’s blood flowing in its veins, and you’re somehow related…

Ben stared at her in confusion. He had never expected Stella to make a request of him.Moments later, he came to a realization. “Mr. Sealey has agreed to Mr. Ford’s suggestion. He will change his name and relocate to another city with you. Mr. Ford will also bear all of his medical bills henceforth, including a compensation fee for you.”Then, he reported an acceptable number.The corner of Stella’s mouth twitched. This amount was enough to make her the richest person in small towns. “Since Roger has agreed, we’ll go with that.” She closed her eyes before abruptly opening them again. “There’s one person I’d like to see.”“Who?”“The culprit who had kidnapped me that day.”Ben fell silent as he stared at her with conflict in his eyes.Stella found it amusing. “What? Are you afraid that I’ll insist on going through with my evil desires and scheme against Guinevere?”She understood well that Weston wouldn’t believe her. No one in the world would anymore.No matter how many time
