STELLA

I passed my office. I was so worried while trying to convince myself that I didn't care where he was or whatever crap he was doing with his life, but I was just deceiving myself, and I knew that.

Why the hell did I care? I was his fake girlfriend, not his wife. But subconsciously, my hands were still calling his number.

I never knew pretending to be my boss's fake girlfriend was this stressful. He wasn't paying for caring, and I wouldn't care about an ass like him. But right now, I really needed him to be alive and pay me. Then he could probably die or do whatever he wanted with his life. But deep down, I knew I was genuinely worried about him.

"Mr. James, please pick your fucking call," I muttered. But before I could try his number again, I saw him walking into his office.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I yelled almost immediately as he stood in front of his door. He looked a mess, but that wasn’t my major concern.

    STELLA'S POVI contempteted going back to talk to him, but it would make me look like I gave a damn about him but I didn’t.But I couldn't stop thinking about it, and it hurt more than I wanted it to.Yes, he slept with Freya, who almost ruined him the first time, and she was doing it again but what do I care? I was only just his pretend girlfriend, after all, and even if I got paid, I wouldn't care about him.I bit one of my lips down. Stella, keep saying that till you believe it oh, who was I kidding?He doesn't belong to me in any way, so why did it bother me so much?I chewed down on my pen and got up. I walked to the door, contemplating on going to his office or not — but if I did, what the hell was I going to say?Without thinking, I just pushed the door to my office open, the smell of smoke hitting me. What the hell? I walked farther what was burning?I walked down the hallway. That was when I saw a trash can that smoke was coming out from.What the...I rushed forward and kick

    JAMES God... this was bad. It felt like I was having a memory relapse, only that it was just a glimpse, but I couldn't remember what exactly happened that night with Freya.And I couldn't explain it to Stella. God, I was such an idiot. I shouldn't have gone to her hotel room that night. I knew she was going to pull this kind of crap.I ran a hand through my hair, my mind a complete mess.A knock landed on my door."Come in," I said lazily.I couldn't handle anything that had to do with work anymore.I lifted my head and it was Stella. She just stood in front of my desk. I waited for her to start her questioning again, but she just quiet.I tilted my head slightly. She was way too quiet, but before I could say anything, she pushed her phone to my front.I picked it up. "What is this?"She didn't reply.It was a headline that read: James Hawthorne found cheating on his partner with famous model Freya.I scrolled down and it was me in bed, all cosied up to Freya.I clenched my jaw, my h

    JAMESMy phone kept ringing non-stop, but I kept ignoring it.As I sped through town, I knew this was a bad idea. It wasn't just bad it was terrible. But if I didn’t go to see her, it would become worse, so I do what I have to, right?I kept trying to convince myself that I was doing the right thing going to see the woman that wants to ruin my life.I looked at the time. It was almost 3 a.m., and she’d already texted me the hotel address we were supposed to meet up at.Fraya had tried to ruin me once. Going to see her was a stupid move to make, but she threatened Stella, and well, I guess I was that stupid because there was no way in hell I would ever let her hurt Stella.And... the bright side was there would be no reporters waiting to take pictures of me by 2 a.m. in the morning.The city was asleep, streetlights casting shadows on the empty road. My hands gripped the steering wheel tighter once I was close to the hotel.Every part of me screamed to turn back to not walk into this t

    STELLAI tiptoed out of bed and walked out of my room. I couldn’t sleep. The text on my phone had disturbed me, and what his mother had said earlier wasn’t making any sense.God, I needed a drink… I navigated my way to the kitchen to get a glass of water maybe clear my head.I reached for the shelf and was trying to pick up a glass when I heard my name from behind me.“Stella.”I was so startled I almost dropped the glass. I turned to face him, and he just stood there staring at me like he’d just seen a ghost.“What…” I said, my pitch a bit higher than I intended.“Why are you not sleeping?” His voice was calm, and a hint of concern was evident.“Needed a glass of water. Couldn’t sleep.”I studied his position he looked somehow defensive.“Is… everything alright? Why the hell are you not sleeping, Mr. James?”The defense dropped immediately, replaced with a cocky grin. “Feeling lonely.”That signature smirk tugged at his lips.I rolled my eyes, clutching the glass a little tighter. “Of

    JAMESI walked into my room, pacing nonstop. My mind was a complete mess. This scandal was taking a toll on me.Now Nicolas was involved. Could this get any worse?I sat on my bed, running a hand through my hair, trying to calm myself.Her smile played in my head the sight always brought a smile to my face."Stella," I whispered her name… she was beautiful. And her body God, her body it was driving me crazy. I wanted to do so many crazy things to her.I walked into the shower and ran a hot bath to calm my nerves. The steam filled the air, and I imagined her naked body pressed against mine right now.The heat from the water did little to relax me. If anything, it made my thoughts worse.Images of Stella played behind my eyelids her flushed cheeks, the way she bit her lip when she was nervous, the lingerie she held earlier… that innocent act with sinful intention written all over it.I growled under my breath and ran a hand down my face. This wasn’t good. I was losing control—and I didn
