Chapter 11…STELLA…“Daisy darling, go inside and order some food” Benji says, Daisy gets out of the car and rushes inside the restaurant“since when did this become your favorite restaurant?” I question him when we are left alone“I was missing Ben a lot in the past so I usually came here” his answer makes me even more furious“you have no right to miss Ben, it was because of you that he died!” I yell“how the hell is it my fault Stella?, was I the one driving the car that night?” he asks in rage“no you weren’t but you where inside his fiancé pretending to be him” my eyes are watering as the familiar gut feeling washes over me“I HAD NO IDEA THAT WAS YOU STELLA!” he yells throwing his hands in the air“you fucking did and you know it!” I say pointing a finger at him, Benji lets out a sign and then gets out of the car. I stay in and take long breaths, when am able to compose myself, I try to get out of the car but realize it is locked from outside“Damn you Benji!” I yell in frustr

Chapter 14…BENJI…I hit the desk when Stella and Maria leave the office, I knew Maria was a sly manipulative woman but I didn’t think she would accuse me of raping her. Whatever she insisted happened between us, I had no memory of it. I let out a sign as I thought of what Stella might be thinking about me at the moment, I let out another sign as I reach for the DNA test results and stare at them for a moment,Why did Stella lie to me about Zoey, she kept my daughter away from me and made her grow up in poverty for five good years, what is she afraid of?.Many hours later, Its time to knock off, I pack my things as my secretary reads out my schedule for the next day. I then make a call to my personal driver Garvin“where are you?” I ask him“am already outside” he says, I hang up the call and go outside where I find him in the car, when I get in, he drives off“is Stella at home?” I ask“no, she and the little girl haven’t returned since they left in the morning” he explains“what?”

Chapter 16…MARIA..I am unable to concentrate on work as my mind is filled with images of what I had seen in Benji’s office earlier, how can Stella do this to me?, I am way more angry with her than I am with Benji.I had spent five good years trying to get Benji for myself, I used all the tricks in the book in hopes of him looking at me as a woman he can be with but all my efforts were in vain and now Stella shows for a few days and they are already having sex.Stella should have told me if anything was going on between them, am angry she didn’t mention it and pretended to hate Benji in front of me. A knock on my door drives me out of my thoughts, I compose myself before answering“come in” I say, Dad walks into the office looking angry, it is then that I realize I have not gone through the documents he had sent me earlier“its been almost two hours, what the hell are you doing?” he asks“I was a bit busy, I will go through them now” I say picking up the documents among the pile of f

Chapter 18…Stella…Right in front of everyone, Dad calls two of his men who begin to check up on me, am angry and disappointed, why would dad even accuse me of stealing, however, when one of the guards take out a diamond necklace from my purse, I am left tongue-tied“I swear I don’t know how that ended up in my bag” I try to explain“you dare steal from me?” Dad looks more furious than ever“honey, its no big deal” my mom tries to say but he silences her with his hand“call the police” he says to one of his guards, by now, I begin to cry bitterly unable to control my emotions, was this my family?, how can they treat me like this?,“Dad please, you cant do this” Maria says“stay out of this” Dad says shoting a warning glance at her,I am made to knee down by the two guards as we wait for the police“you could have asked if you wanted money instead of trying to steal from us, there is no better place for someone like you except prison” Dad says, I continue to cry feeling my heart get m

Chapter 20…BENJI…“did you look into what I asked you to?” I ask Garvin on a phone call“yes sir, it was Maria who had anonymously made that post about Stella” Garvin replies“alright” I say and hang up the phone, Maria was really crossing the line, I have to give her a warning.I did think of telling Stella everything about her sister but I know she wouldn’t believe me and even if she did, she would be hurt as she considered her an important person in her life.I stare at the wall clock, it is already half passed midnight, I close my eyes trying to get some sleep but then, Stella’s face appears in front of me,How would I manage to woo a sturbborn woman like her?, I get up from bed and grab my diary, I then begin to write down the things Ben did that made Stella fall in love with him, maybe if I do those things, I would have a chance with her…The next morning, I have Garvin take me to the Adams company before going to work, when Maria comes in, she finds me waiting for her,“you ar
