Semua Bab Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO: Bab 1411 - Bab 1420

When Stella heard Ronan's reassuring words, she let out a big sigh of relief. "I'm texting you the address now. I'm on my way to see Stellie. I'll be there in about ten minutes. After I meet her, I can probably hang in there for another ten, so you've got to get here in twenty minutes max. Otherwise, you might be too late."Ronan replied, "If I promise to help you, I'll be there on time, no doubt."Stella's voice softened with affection. "Dear, your girlfriend, me, is counting on you big time.""Don't worry."Stella felt reassured by Ronan's promise to come. However, she was not prepared for the bold statement Ronan would make in front of Stellie upon his arrival.Everyone had been saying Stella was way out of her league with Lucas. They called her shameless, and even she sometimes felt she had traded her soul for her current life. Yet, here was Ronan, a stranger, fiercely defending her. He declared that her relationship with Lucas was a consensual game, with neither being more no

"Your life? Why would I need your life?" Ronan's eyes, usually void of emotion, showed a flicker of anger as he looked at Stella. "If you don't cherish your own life, how can you expect others to?"Stella hastened to explain, "You've got it wrong. I'm not literally offering my life to you. What I mean is, as long as I'm alive, I present endless opportunities. I can be a valuable asset to you."Ronan had agreed to help her, but it was clear there were strings attached. Stella was not sure what she could offer him apart from money. Her talents were limited, and her offerings scant. Her only assets were her acting talent, her popularity with audiences, and her potential to earn money.But to Stella's surprise, Ronan raised an eyebrow and let out a laugh. "Money doesn't interest me."Stella was left speechless.Only someone truly rich would say such a thing. They have enough wealth to find her offer unappealing.Yet, for Stella, who came from a modest background, money was everything

Stella was anxious, hoping desperately that Lucas would pick up her call. But all she heard was the robotic voice of the voicemail: [The user you are trying to reach has switched off their phone. Please try again later.]When she could not get through to him, she tried calling Lucas on WhatsApp, but again, no answer. Frustrated, Stella left a fiery voice message for him."Have you lost all your humanity, Lucas? You were the one who proposed to me. You always had the upper hand in our relationship, and it's your responsibility to deal with the fallout. Now that your old flame is back, do you view me as a blemish in your life that you want to remove? I'm warning you, if anything happens to me, my ghost won't leave you alone. I'll haunt you and your wife day and night, and you'll never have peace."In this high-stress situation, Ronan found Stella's intense words somewhat amusing. "I've met Lucas a few times and knew he was tough, but this is extreme. He's showing no mercy to someone h

Lucas's voice was deep and smooth, not unlike a fine aged wine.It was deep, rich and melodious.Yet, in Stella's ears, each and every word he said seemed to be laced with venom; vicious and cruel.Stella covered her ears and curled up, no longer willing to listen to that voice. "Stop! Stop it! I beg you, Lucas, stop it, please?"She did not know if he could not hear her, or he decided to ignore her.Lucas walked, step by step elegantly, toward her."Stella Dawson, I told you before, don't try to run away from me. I'll end this marriage when I feel like it. You never had any say in it."Stella the superstar? Without me, you'll still be fumbling in some morass somewhere, much less being a superstar today, heh."Lucas continued his mocking, "What? Say again? You want to give birth to whose child? You want to give birth to mine?"Stella, you still don't know where you stand. You're just a stand-in, a replacement. What right do you have to bear my child?"Stella, even if I no lon

"Stella, do you know who I am?" Abigail suddenly asked.Stella blinked. "You're my best friend, Abigail Renee. How could I not know you?""You really don't know who Lucas is?" Abigail asked again.Stella shook her head. "I heard of the name before, but I don't have any memories of this person."Abigail was at a loss for words.Stella knew her but somehow not Lucas.'What sort of trauma had caused her to selectively forget Lucas, or is she just pretending to not know him?' Abigail wondered.Abigail tried to seek the truth from Stella's expression and eyes, but unfortunately for her, Stella's eyes were clear and bright, and her stunned look was rather cute too.There were no signs of her feigning ignorance.'If this isn't Stella putting up a masterful act, then she must've really forgotten about Lucas,' Abigail mused."Stella, do you know Nathan then?" Abigail asked."You're my best friend, so why would I not know your husband?" Stella replied."How about John?" Abigail conti
