In their three years of marriage, Stella tried her best to win Clarence’s heart, but sometimes love just isn't there. As soon as she found out he was cheating on her and even got his mistress pregnant, all her efforts seemed futile so she made the tough decision to let go and vanish from his life. Little did she know, Clarence went mad after her departure, searching for her everywhere. Until one day, he spotted the woman he had long sought, now transformed, holding hands with a cute baby. Unable to contain himself, Clarence grasped Stella’s chin: "Darling, didn't you promise you'd love me only?" She chuckled, "A second chance is given only if this time we play by my rules." Is divorce a sign that the couple don't understand each other or that they BEGIN to?

If you’re willing to quite the game, I’ll give you twenty million dollars as compensation.” A message was sent to Stella. Along the message was a photo of her husband Clarence and his mistress Vivian Sean both sleeping on the bed. When Stella got the text message her lips curled up, she was at the hospital where she had just been informed by the doctor that she needed to take care of her health, because of she had been feeling so weak lately. “Okay Doctor, I will.” Stella said and left quickly. On her way back home, she brought out her phone from her bag and searched for Clarence’s number and called him. The call was picked immediately and she heard the aloof voice of the man which echoed from the other end of the phone, “What is it?” “Will you come home tonight.” She asked. There was silence on the other end, but the man spoke up after a while, “Is there any important issues we need to discuss?” “Did..did you forget what day it is today?” She asked with disappointment in her heart. Today was their wedding anniversary and he was expected to return home to celebrate it but it seems he wasn’t even aware of this, what’s even more he was cheating on her with another lady and even got her pregnant. She could bear the fact that after spending three years loving him he did not reciprocate back the feeling, but she could not bear the fact that he got another lady pregnant knowing fully well how she was struggling to conceive his child. What a big fool she had been to fall in love with a psychopath. Unfortunately he could only grumble and said, “I’ll come back tonight, if that’s all goodbye.” The call got disconnected. Stella’s heart sank to the pit as she could only endure all this in silence. Then she took a deep breath and placed back her phone in her bag and boarded a bus home. ……. As soon as she got home, Stella took a bath and stared with a bitter heart at the lingerie that she had prepared to spend with Clarence that night , but unfortunately it was a waste now. ‘Enough is enough, I can’t bear this anymore. It’s time to give up on this marriage’ she told herself and brought out the divorce papers from the cupboard. And with a bitter heart, she signed her signature and took the divorce documents downstairs. It was only normal that she file for a divorce knowing that even if she spends more years with Clarence, nothing will change, so divorce was the solution now. For three years, she worked hard to melt his heart; however, he was only using her and now toss her out . What a fool she had been, thinking that he would love her back. Now, everything felt like a cruel joke. ….. After keeping the documents on the table, she went to the kitchen to make dinner. The doctor’s words about her taking care of her health echoed in her ears. Because of her duty towards Clarence, she failed to take very good care of herself, risking her health and putting him as her first priority, but now it all dawned on her how stupidly in love she had been. But not anymore! It was porridge that she was making and soon after the food was ready. As she placed the food on the table and set to eat, the door opened and Clarence walked in. Seeing him, she lost her appetite instantly. Clarence made his way to go upstairs pretending that he did not just see her, however…. “Clarence, wait—-“ Stella stood up and grabbed his hand Clarence turned back and glanced at her, “what is it?” “So Clarence you’re cheating on me!” Stella said. Initially she just wanted to pretend like she didn’t know about his affair with his mistress, but the pain and betrayal could not allow her to keep it all to herself anymore. Without waiting for a response from him, she rushed and took the divorce documents. Pump! A deafening sound startled him. Stella threw the divorce paper before Clarence. “Sign it Clarence, we’re getting a divorce.” Stella’s cold voice reached his ears. Stunned, Clarence’s eyes reached for the document and it was boldly written ‘Divorce papers’ “ I don’t think this is going to work anymore, I can’t do this.” She said. Clarence smiled and said, “Are you sure. There won’t be a second chance after this.” With a smile Stella offered him the pen, “You don’t have to worry about this. I should have done this a long time but I was too foolish all this years. This will give you all the chance to be with your mistress and I won’t be a burden to you. I hope you remain happy with her.” He took the document without signing them, somehow he felt heartbroken but he didn’t know why he was feeling this way. He knew she had only gotten married to him because of his wealth, so it was only normal for him to be happy that they are about to get divorced. He glanced back at her and quickly stated, “I’ll go through the document and sign it. Also this villa is already yours, you don’t have to move out.” “I don’t want it, it all yours so…” Stella said but was cut short by Clarence. “You really don’t have to move out of you don’t want. I can leave instead.” Without waiting for him to finish his statement, Stella went upstairs while Clarence continue glancing at her as she walked away. An hour later, She came downstairs with her clothes that she bought with her money and left the expensive ones Clarence bought for her for the past three years including the jewelries. Clarence was no longer there. She looked at the gifts in her hand It was the present that she had prepared for their three years wedding anniversary today, now it was a waste. Bang! The gifts was worth more than one million but Stella threw them without a second thought. Then she heaved a sign of relief and accepted the fact that her three years of marriage was all a joke. She was such a fool to have gotten married to him in the first place. Then she left the villa and headed a taxi, telling the driver to send her to Sherry Perry’s place. Sherry was her best friend.
Two years later. •••••••••• “Clare, Dear, the car is here!” His mother calls up the stairs just as Clarence came bustling into the bedroom to help Stella, who was currently enacting some kind of jig in her form-fitting purple dress. “I knew I should have gone for something less… just less…” Stella flapped her hands about her, her nerve unusually on show, and Clarence walked up to her, took her hands in his and smiled into her eyes. “You look spectacular, and Sherry has assured me she knows a trick to getting you zipped up.” Stella eyed him skeptically as Sherry bustled past him and crouched down behind her. “You’re almost in Stella. This fabric is pure genius.” “Don’t tease me, I don’t know about fabrics.” Stella murmured. Clarence laughed softly. “May I remind you that you were only thirty weeks pregnant then? Our little girl has two more weeks on her now.” Stella smiled up at him, her green eyes wide and sparkling. “True.” “And the second one always shows mo
On her way to the office, Stella met Avani. “Finally he has arrived. I can’t wait to meet him.” “Keep quiet Avani. You’re ridiculous.” Stella said as they both laugh. As soon as Avani opened the office door and they walked in, the appearance of the new CEO made Stella to stop. With her heart beating so fast, she wanted the ground to open and swallow her that moment. What was Clarence doing here? Was he the CEO that they were expecting? Avani observed that Stella paused after seeing the CEO and there was shock on her face. She tapped Stella’s her shoulder, “Hey, what’s wrong?” Stella came back to her senses and put on a fake smile, she gestured to Avani for them to sit down. As she sat down, Stella tried her best not to look at Clarence who happened to be looking at her at that moment. Because of this, all eyes were on her. Soon the junior staffs began to murmur to their selves. “What do you think about this plan, Gina?” The manager, Daniel suddenly asked her.
It was now five years later. Smack! The food flask was thrown to the floor. Too scared that Jordan might have injured himself, Stella quickly rushed out of the kitchen after hearing the noise coming from the parlor. Luckily, Jordan was fine. “Mummy, I don’t want to go to school today. Raven and the rest of my friends will make fun of me again because I don’t have a dad and I’ll feel so sad. Mummy can I stay at home with you and grandma?” Jordan asked putting up a face like he wanted to cry. “No.” Stella said. “But why mummy?” “I have told you countless times that your father traveled to another country for a business and will be back as soon as the business is finished. And about your friends making mockery of you because you don’t have a father, just tell them that your dad is busy and will come soon.” “But mum, you have been saying this for three years now. I’m sick and tired of waiting. I want daddy to come back.” “Alright.. alright, I’ll give him a call and te
Dempsey had been nervous and anxious at the Conrad residence ever since he was not allowed to go inside the hospital. Several men had been sent to investigate, but none had returned to inform him of the situation. At night, he finally received the news. He inquired as soon as he noticed that the man he had sent had returned fast, "How's the situation?" The individual said, "Miss Radomil has regained her consciousness, but the child..." Dempsey knocked his walking stick on the floor, which alarmed him the most. "What's the child's problem? Leave the bean!" "The child's gone." "What!" "Miss Radomil already had severe internal bleeding when she was admitted to the hospital," the man went on. “Mr. Conrad made the decision to save the mother since she was the only one who could be spared, not the child." With a furious expression on his face, Dempsey cursed, "What a bastard!" He exploded for a bit, then all of a sudden thought of something, and he whispered, "Have
When Stella saw it, she essentially knew why; if it wasn't due to that bastard's instruction, then what else could it be? Afterwards, she said, "Never mind, thank you." She closed her eyes as she lay on the bed. Nathan questioned outside the ward, "Aren't you going in, Mr. Conrad?" With his gaze back up, Clarence icily asked, "For what? To allow her to yell in my face?" Nathan murmured, "Missus only said that due to anger, when her health and mood have improved, Mrs. Conrad would be able to..." "Who else came today?" was all that Clarence said. "Mr. Dempsey and Mr. Justin Conrad came, also Miss Steward, but none of them could go in." They had sent men to seize control of the hospital after Stella was transported out of the operating room, and the Conrad family was unable to enter. Dempsey was incensed when he was prevented from entering, but he was unable to lose his cool due to the large number of patients in the hospital and could only go back. In a bland voi
Clarence gave a nasal sound in response. With his hand withdrawn, he cast a quick glance at the black car that had sustained damage in the collision. With an icy tone, he inquired, "Who's the owner of this car?" "We're still investigating it. However, it appears that multiple parties—including the Steward family—have been involved in this tonight," Nathan continued. “However, the Steward family was not a part of this collision. I suppose all they want is to remove Mrs. Conrad. Originally, Master Conrad arranged his men to take Mrs. Conrad away tonight, and our men had been watching them," Nathan said after a brief pause. “However, certain mishaps occurred right after they had gone downstairs, obstructing our guys. Upon their arrival, they discovered that Mrs. Conrad had been abducted by the other group and that Master Conrad's men were laying on the ground. Concerning who had retrieved her, I..." With a stern expression, Clarence stormed into the hospital and declared, "Sh
