The alarm kept ringing nonstop, indicating that it was time for Stella to get up from bed but as lazy as she was, she was finding it really hard to, even though she was inwardly awake but after seeing that there was no use in pretending to be asleep anymore, she lazily stretched her hands towards her alarm clock and turned it off.
It was another day, another morning that was going to be like the usual morning, a morning that will be filled with nothing but pure stress. It'll start with her getting up and going to the bathroom, brushing her teeth, showering, drying her hair, looking for a corporate cloth to wear for her morning shift but before that making sure she prepares breakfast for her mother and her brother.
Letting out a cute yawn, Stella found her way out of her bed then dragged her lazy ass to the bathroom to brush her teeth, she doesn't know why but she was having the kind of vibes that says everything about today is going to be sour but who's she kidding. This is the kind of vibes she does get everyday, on a normal note she's always the grumpy kind of person that gets moody and emotionally down for no reason but she always has Charles and her Jace to cheer her up all the time.
Just thinking about them made her smile,her mood brightened immediately and she immediately spotted the toothpaste out of her mouth, after rinsing her mouth she took off her nightware and went to the shower. She's also the kind of person that loves singing while showering but one thing she doesn't know is that she can't really sing, each time Stella volunteers to sing for any occasion in the family, her mother and brother would usually disagree with her. There was a day when she wanted to sing for Charles on his birthday and he disagreed too, not just on his birthday but on any kind of special occasions and still, Stella hasn't gotten the message yet.
Finally Stella was done showering, changing and fixing her makeup, what remained for her to do was to make breakfast especially for that foodie they call Jace. Among all of them in her family, he was always the one that loves food the most. Every morning, he would always be the one to wake her up before her alarm and this got Stella wondering about why he didn't come wake her up today.
Stella got to the living room and was surprised to see him sitting at the dining with his face glued to his laptop screen like it deserves his full attention. "Krm.. krm" Stella cleared her throat, hoping that she can finally drag his attention to her but the boy didn't bulge not even a tiny bit.
Creasing her brows, Stella decided to move closer to check what's up, how can Jace not come to wake her this morning or even pay her some attention, just what the hell was he so engrossed with? She finally got to him and peeped at his laptop from behind and almost couldn't believe her eyes.
"This..." These were some pictures of her at the bar yesterday when she had slapped that rich CEO. "Jace.. you.. where did you..." She didn't even know what to say for the fact that she had long forgotten about this ever since last night so just how come it was all over the media now? Just what kind of people are these that call themselves reporters or fans, must they always spread every gossip they see?
Jace finally closed his laptop and turned to face her with an unbelievable look present on his face. He was not blind to see that, that woman in the picture there was his sister and that man was none other than the CEO of McClure Investment, Davis McClure. What had happened between them?How come he didn't know?' Were the thoughts running through Jace's mind as he stared at his sister.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Stella couldn't handle the stares anymore so she had to ask. "Sis, that was you right?" He asked, blinking and staring at her, observing her facial expression closely as though he was trying not to miss any reaction from her
"Well.. what's the point of asking when you already know that it was me" Stella casually replied as she slowly took the seat beside him. Jace stared at her with widened eyes and mouth.
"So this means that you must have transferred your aggression to him too?" He said slowly and Stella pouted, looking like a baby that was trying to explain herself. "Well.. well, why are you attacking me, don't you wanna know what he did first?" She asked with her usual pout.
"That doesn't matter sis" he replied and she stared at him.
"That doesn't matter, Why?" She asked but Jace kept staring at her, from the look on his face, Stella could tell that he was not going to talk anytime soon. "You are not gonna talk are you?" She asked in a deadpan tone and slowly Jace cheeks began expanding as it was forming a wide smile.
"What?" She asked.
"Sis" he stood up from his seat and held her shoulders tight, "You just slapped a famous man, my role model and do you know what that means?" He asked, excitedly.
Stella stated to him like he was going crazy before shaking her head not understanding this sudden and funny behavior of her brother. "Sis we are going to be famous!" He screamed happily and released her then ran to the entrance and began doing some happy dance.
Seriously!?, Stella could only just face palmed herself. Was this what these were all about? This damned brother of hers! She rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to his laptop.
"Who's going to be famous?"..
That voice made Stella shut the laptop close, she stood up from the dinning and ran to her brother and before he could reply, she immediately blocked his mouth with her palms.
"Stella" , a middle aged woman that looks exactly like both Stella and Jace called and Stella flashed her a kind of sorry smile. "Mom, good morning" she greeted slowly.
"Finally you're back, where were you last night and why are you covering Jace's mouth?" She asked. Stella looked at her palms on Jace's mouth and she immediately released him. "We were just playing mom" she flashed an awkward smile.
"Okay forget about that one and tell me where you have been since last night?" Hannah, Stella's mom, asked as she stood akimbo.
Stella could already sense this question so she had no choice than to reply with, "I was with Arya last night, she bought some new stuff last night and I was helping her fix it" she repeated the same lie she had told Charles last night.

Before the doctor discharged Davis, Stella told him about her pregnancy. Davis was really happy, if he wasn't lying on a hospital bed then he could have lifted her up and swayed her around like a baby and he was even more happier with the thought of getting to be there for her at times like this, she's just two month pregnant,her tummy is still flat and he feels happy because he's going to experience her tummy growth- the baby growth.Currently, the family of four were sitting on the couch and watching a movie together, Davis kept rubbing on Stella's tummy throughout."Daddy, why are you touching mummy's stomach?" Madison, who hasn't been able to keep her eyes off what her daddy is doing, decided to ask.Stella chuckled and raised her head to look at Davis. Her eyes were asking if it was okay to tell them and Davis nodded. Stella stopped resting on Davis and sat straight. "Maddy, Mason, do you guys want to have a sibling?" She asked with a small smile."Yes!!" They shouted immediately
Stella was awake now but she kept staring at the ceiling with tears pouring out of her eyes. 'Davis please be fine for me and the kids'.The door opened, Hannah and Brenna stepped in, Hannah was holding a bed table and some food while Brenna had a smile on her face."Mum I'm not hungry" Stella immediately turned away, feeling slightly angry that her mom would have to bring food when Davis' life is at stake here. Brenna came to stand beside Stella while Hannah sat at the edge of her bed and put the bed tray in position. "It's important that you eat," Hannah said softly."Mum I'm not hungry, I'm worried about Davis! How can I eat, knowing that his life is in danger" Stella complained to Hannah and Brenna decided to chirp in. "But Stella, if you don't eat then how will your baby survive?" Brenna's question made Stella pause and turned to look at her. "What do you mean?" She asked slowly.Brenna looked at Hannah and Hannah nodded, then Brenna went ahead to tell Stella that she had a ba
Davis drove alone to the location that was been sent to him. When he came down there were some masked men waiting for him. "Take me straight to my wife and kids, I want to see them," he said angrily."Hope you came alone" one of them asked and Davis nodded, they looked at themselves before taking him in.When Davis got inside the building, he was told to wait outside first by a guard who went in and whispered something in Charles' ears. Charles laughed out and Stella stared at him in full alert."You better not do anything to Davis you punk, if anything happens to him then I swear it that you'd hear it from me!" She threatened not caring of how she would be able to make him pay.Charles just laughed and went to stand behind her. "We'll see" he whispered in her ears before bringing out his gun and pointing it at her head. "Let him in" he ordered and his guards went out. Few seconds later, Davis rushed in with them, his eyes widened to see Stella but he couldn't move closer to her beca
"Charles?" Stella called like she couldn't believe her eyes. Charles was standing in front of her with a smile on his face. Was he the one who did all these?"Hello my first love" Charles waved with the same evil smile dancing around his face."Were you behind all these?" Stella asked in a slow tone and instead of replying, Charles just smiled.Stella clenched her jaw tight and looked around. "Where are my kids, where did you take them too you bastard!?" She yelled out angrily."Relax Stella, your kids are safe, I wouldn't hurt them, I wouldn't hurt my kids" his reply enraged Stella even more."Charles I don't know what's going on but I think you're crazy! If you're doing this so I'd get back together with you then you're wasting your time! I love Davis!!" She screamed.Charles angrily moved to her and grabbed her jaw. "You love who? Say that again!! Who do you love!?" He squeezed on her jaw tightly as he yelled to her face."I said I love Davis, I love Davis I love-"Stella didn't ge
The twins were done with their food and they obediently followed their mother to the car, on their way to school, they kept talking about how they can't wait to write their exam that's happening today, Madison and Mason kept arguing about who's going to pass between them and Stella could only just listen with a smile.Suddenly a huge van appeared on their way and blocked them from moving and before Stella's driver would come out, like about six masked men holding a gun, rushed toward them."Mummy, look armed men are coming" Mason looked scared as he pointed at them. Even Stella looked surprised but she just had to hug her children tight."Open the car now!" One of them ordered the driver and out of fright, the driver opened it. "Open the back door too, be fast about it!!" The masked man ordered again and the driver did as told with shaky hands."Mummy" Madison began crying as she hugged Stella tight. "Hey what do you want from us, leave us alone!!" Stella yelled out but they ignored.
