“I won’t lay a hand on you, but don’t expect to leave this place anytime soon.”A heavy sense of dread rose in Tori’s chest. “What are you planning?”“For the next seven days, you’ll have your eyes covered. No one will speak to you. You’ll be tied up right here, and above your head, a single drop of water will fall at intervals—again and again. “That’s how you’ll spend the next few days: counting time, one drop at a time.”Stellar said it all in a light, almost casual tone, then turned and walked out.Tori stared ahead, stunned.She’d heard of this method—“water drop torture.”It was a torment that slowly broke people down, a fate worse than death.“No! You can’t do this to me! This is illegal! Let me out! Let me go!”She would rather serve jail time than endure something like this.At the door, Stellar finally turned back. “You have the nerve to talk to me about the law? Too late.”With that, she walked out and didn’t look back.Moments later, someone entered the room and blindfolded

The next day.Despite the chaos at the launch event, everything had ultimately ended on a high note—Stellar and Stephen’s new project had been well received.Thanks to their outstanding performance, both were invited to an exclusive banquet honoring distinguished figures.It was the kind of gathering where elites from all industries mingled, and truthfully, they didn’t have to attend.But since it was their first invitation to such an event, they decided to go together.That afternoon, Stellar wore a silver-blue satin mermaid gown. The smooth cut traced her elegant curves, and a necklace of sea-blue gemstones shimmered at her neck.She entered the venue with her arm tucked into Stephen’s. He wore a matching velvet suit and a watch in the same cool-toned palette, his presence refined and striking.The moment they walked in, heads turned their way.Many guests approached to greet them.After all, they were the most talked-about pair at the moment.Stellar, already accustomed to such oc

Yvonne was fuming, but quickly tried to explain, “That was just a misjudgment. The truth came out later—the trafficker was the real culprit. “I was young, scared, and coerced into a mistake. I’ve already paid the price.“Sister, whatever you want me to do to make up for it, I’ll do it. Yell at me, hit me—anything, as long as you can forgive me...”She stepped forward, pitifully grabbing Stellar’s arm, tears threatening to fall.But Stellar jerked free without hesitation. “Save your cheap tears. You’re not worthy of asking for forgiveness.”Her voice was cold, her words merciless.Yvonne stumbled back two steps, nearly losing her balance.The young man beside her immediately stepped in, unable to stay quiet. “Miss Rivers, everyone makes mistakes when they’re young. It’s been years, and you weren’t hurt in the end. Why be so unforgiving?”Stellar let out a light laugh. “You’re such a kind man. Since you care so much about helping her earn my forgiveness, why don’t you transfer all your

An hour later, in the conference room.The team members had all arrived. The atmosphere was tense—nerves running high as everyone looked toward Stellar at the head of the table, worried she was there to assign blame.But unexpectedly, her demeanor was calm. “I’m sure you’ve all heard about the issue. Regarding the raw materials, I’ve already found an alternative solution that can replace the defective batch.”The room rippled with surprise.“No need to be shocked. This kind of work always requires a backup plan. If one small issue delays delivery, the losses to the company would be enormous. I don’t make rookie mistakes like that.That said, I’ll personally oversee every step of the process this time. I hope none of you let me down.”Her words earned admiring looks from the entire room.This was why she was the backbone of the team.Her capability, decisiveness, and foresight were leagues above theirs.A collective sense of relief gradually settled over the room.Stellar continued, “A

Coco opened her eyes, gaze blurred with tears as she looked at Stellar.“And let me be clear,” Stellar continued, her voice calm but firm. “I never once had any romantic feelings for Xavier. Maybe he did like me once, but that’s all in the past.“If you truly have feelings for him, you should fight for them the right way. You hurt me and sabotaged my work. “Do you think that’ll make him feel guilty or come back to you? No. It’ll only push him further away.”She stared straight at Coco, her expression unreadable. “As for whatever exists between you and Xavier—that’s your business. I’ve never come between you. So why did you take your pain out on me?”Coco froze, her entire body going rigid.Each word landed like a blow, cutting deep and lingering.Yes.Why had she let her emotions take control and hurt someone who had done nothing wrong?Xavier liked Stellar, but was that Stellar’s fault? She’d never accepted his feelings.If anyone deserved her anger, it should’ve been Xavier, not S
