LOGINCHAPTER 24Stella I had no time to entertain Klara so I called security on her. She just laughed and threatened to get them fired if they touched her but they didn't even listen. “Don't… Don't touch me,” she said as they walked to her side. "Good now leave before they throw you out like a dog,” I looked at her."You home wrecker. My Derrick will never be yours OK. You can try all your little tricks but none will work. I'm the mother of his child go find the father of that bastard you're—”Before she could even complete that sentence I moved closer to where she stood and gave her a hot slap. I could tolerate anything but never something aimed at my child.“How dare you, Stella?" Klara shouted about hitting me back when Derrick rushed to hold her arm as he walked in.“Babe?" she looked at him, confused, while all the crocodile tears she had saved up began to run down her cheeks.“What are you doing?" Derrick responded in complete shock.“It's…It's nothing. She hit me first. Stella hi
CHAPTER 23 Stella I was in my office enjoying the snack Derrick had bought me before a message popped up on my screen. I didn't want to open it but something seemed odd about its subject. “You thought you were smart?" What could that even mean? I opened the message and found a picture of paper I wish I had gotten rid of. My stomach dropped and I almost struggled to sit upright. “Is everything OK ma'am?" I heard Maria ask as she walked into my office. “Yes. I…I'm fine,” I responded, my eyes still wondering who could have sent me that email. I quickly replied, asking the person what they wanted, only for them to respond with a number I was supposed to call. I was at first hesitant, but I needed to know who it was, so I dialed the number. “Who are you?" I asked before a familiar laugh came from the other end. “You've got to be kidding me right?" Ella replied. "Ella!” "Yes bitch, it's me now. Listen carefully, OK. Scario is fuming about your pregnancy. If you know what's goo
CHAPTER 22 Scario My mom had thrown an event to welcome our new investors and I'd be there even if I didn't want to. I took a glass of champagne and then began to look around, hoping that I'd spot Ella, but she was nowhere to be seen. “Already looking for your fiancèe huh?" I heard Blake ask as he came to stand in front of me with a sarcastic smile. “No I was looking for my dad," I lied since he enjoyed laughing at me. “OK, I've invited Audrey to the event, so please don't cause a scene," he said while I looked at him in disbelief. “Why would you do such a thing? You know my Mom won't like that," I looked at Blake with disappointment. “I doubt she's the only one who'd not be happy about Audrey then." “I'm not too but her presence is highly needed around here,” Blake smiled before Audrey came to wrap her hand around his arm. “Shall we?" she said to him with a bright smile that couldn't even remind her that she had not greeted me. “What level of disrespect do you want to disp
CHAPTER 21 Stella “Audrey what did you do?" I finally asked. “I'm the one behind the media's interest in the Fords' lives,” she said while I wondered what was even going on. "Audrey, did something bad happen?” "A crazy narrative about how the Fords leave their heir to get into crazy relationships is going around and the public isn't happy about what Scario did with your marriage,” she said. "You didn't have to do that. I'm OK here.” " You could be but that fool had to pay some way. I'm not even done with him yet.” "Wait, does anyone know about this?” I asked Audrey. "Not at all. I'm surprised Blake thinks I'd make things go away. I made sure to indirectly start another rumor,” she laughed. “I don't want you to be putting your career on the line for me Audrey. This could be dangerous," I worried. “Agh forget that. How's the pregnancy going?" she asked before I heard Derrick whisper pregnancy from the door. “Stella is everything OK?" Audrey asked, but I ended the call, prom
CHAPTER 20 Stella I'd just gotten back from the office so I took a seat on the couch while Maria went to get my food. I was now about to remove my heels when a knock sounded on my door, and I asked who it was, only for the person to walk in instead. I looked at who it was and realized that Clara had come to my suite again. “What are you doing here?" I asked before standing up. “I'm sorry for coming unannounced Stella. I just wanted to pass by and spend some time with you. I've heard some really nice things about you from Derrick," she smiled about taking a seat when I blocked her way. “I don't know what Derrick has told you about me but I'd appreciate it if you left. I'm not in the mood to make friends OK," I pointed to the door. “Stella, you don't have to be so hostile. Derrick and I are actually planning a wedding, and I was just jealous he was seeing someone else, but when I found out it was you. I regretted not believing what he had told me," she said. “Clara, I don't wan
CHAPTER 19 Scario “I don't see how that's my business Mr. White. I'm here for business so please ask your friend here to apologize before I change my mind," Audrey threatened. "You can leave. I don't remember wanting you here anyway,” I arrogantly pointed to the door. "Great. Mr. White, if I'd known this would happen, I wouldn't even have bothered to come,” she turned to tell Blake about walking out when he blocked her way. " Scario, you need to apologize to Ms. Moon. She's the only one who can handle this entire situation," Blake said, but my pride wouldn't let me listen to that. “I've nothing to lose, OK. She's not here to clean the mess I'm sure she's just looking for more data on me," I responded to Blake. “What a joke Scario Ford? You think I have time to make headlines for someone like you who makes disgusting decisions?” she smirked. “OK, that's enough, everyone, it's either we work together or nothing. I'm not going to listen to you two exchange words because of someth
CHAPTER 2StellaI don't know why my mother-in-law acts like I even have the power to control her son's movements. Scario comes and goes as he pleases.I'm nobody in his eyes. Not even the promise he made me on the altar could make him feel a bit of guilt.I'm only his wife when his body wants to e
CHAPTER 1Atlanta, GeorgiaStella“I don't think you should take that," Scario's secretary said, rushing to pick up the call even forgetting that I was his wife.How would I even go against that if he had probably asked her to do that? She spoke to the caller and asked me to hand her a pen which I
CHAPTER 7Stella The number of thoughts running through my head was innumerable. I got out of the sick bed and got ready to go home with Audrey. She wanted me to stay at her place until I was strong enough but the little strength in me just wouldn't give in. We got into the car and we drove to t
CHAPTER 6StellaMy heart was pounding like never before.I still couldn't believe Scario had actually said he wanted a divorce. There was a time when I desperately wanted that freedom, when nothing between us seemed capable of working. But fate always seemed to have other plans.I couldn't look we
