All Chapters of Hurricane Night: My Boyfriend Chose Her: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Stella's POVOver the phone, I asked, "Where are you?" Ariel Hewitt replied, "We're on the way back to my house. Tommy said it was too dangerous for me to go back alone. "Oh, right. He said he texted you half an hour ago and asked you to take a cab home yourself. Stella, you're already home, right?" The wind howled outside the window, and my heart slowly sank.Over the past three years, Tommy Hart seemed to care most about Ariel, his female colleague, and gave her all his attention.And the last of my feelings for him finally disappeared. "Yes. I'm home."A home where Tommy no longer belonged.… Ariel clearly sighed in relief over the phone. "I'm glad you're home. We're almost at my place too. "But the hurricane is about to make landfall. Tommy wants me to tell you that he might have to spend the night at my place."I merely hum in response, sounding indifferent. Then Tommy's voice came through the phone. Even though he was some distance away, I could still hear the

By the time I arrived at the office, the repair workers were already in the middle of fixing the glass window. My colleagues were still shaken. "Damn! It's a good thing we got off work early yesterday. Otherwise, it would've been really terrifying."When they caught sight of me, my colleagues greeted me. "Stella, your boyfriend picked you up last night, right?"I let out a chuckle and said, "No. He was busy driving his female colleague home."The entire office fell silent, and someone asked cautiously, "So did you take a cab home yourself yesterday?""I spent the night in the break room."Everyone's breath caught. After a long time, my colleagues patted my shoulder reassuringly. "Stella, you're really strong."I didn't think there was anything wrong with telling them about what happened. After all, I wasn't the one who messed up.When it was almost time to get off work, Tommy sent me a message. "I'm downstairs at your office."My eyes flickered slightly. It had been almost a

Mom and Dad were in the private room, along with an unfamiliar young man, who was sitting next to me. When Tommy walked in, the young man, Henry Vance, was placing food on my plate. Mom sat opposite us, smiling as she spoke to Dad. "Henry's just as thoughtful as always. I only mentioned once that Stella can't handle spicy food. "Look at him. Everything he's put on her plate doesn't have any peppers."Dad nodded, lightly chuckling.The gifts in Tommy's hands fell to the floor with a thud. When he spoke, he stumbled over his words. "Mr. Grimm. Mrs. Grimm. Stella, this… What… What's going on?"Only then did we finally notice him. Mom's smile faded slightly, and she did not utter a single word. Dad merely glanced at Tommy icily. It was no wonder Mom and Dad didn't like Tommy. Two years ago, they had asked to meet him. By then, we had already been together for a little over four years.At first, Tommy had agreed to meet them. My parents had even bought plane tickets to Dra

Third-Person POVTommy returned to his workstation, staring blankly at his silent phone screen. It had been two days since Stella told him to stop messaging her. Back then, Tommy thought Stella had said that out of anger. Once she cooled off, she would definitely take the initiative to reach out to him. After all, that had happened many times.No matter how angry Stella got, within less than two days, she would act as if nothing had happened and go back to laughing and joking with him.But this time, Tommy felt a sense of panic like never before. That day, Stella stared at him in the private room, her gaze icy. She didn't even smile, yet there was no resentment or reproach in her eyes. It was as if she were looking at a stranger who had nothing to do with her.Back then, Stella would lose her temper, cry, and throw tantrums. She would repeatedly ask Tommy if he no longer loved her.Even though he sometimes found it a little annoying, he also felt a flicker of satisfaction deep

Stella's colleague rolled her eyes. "Why are you asking me? You should be asking yourself that. "All I know is that she was so excited, waiting for you to pick her up from work. In the end, you didn't show up, and she ended up stuck in our office."When the glass window in the office shattered, she hid in the break room and got through the ordeal alone. Do you know how scared she was that night? But what were you even doing at the time?"Tommy shook his head. "That's impossible… How could she be in the office? I definitely texted her back then…"His hands trembled as he reached for his phone. He kept scrolling up through their chat history until he finally found the message he had sent that day. "Stella, something suddenly came up. Take a cab home yourself, okay? Be careful."Beneath that text was a notice informing him that it had failed to send.His message never went through. So Stella never received that message at all. She had been waiting at the office for him to pick
