No Longer A Substitute
And there—Devon.
And Alex.
They were talking.
My breath hitched as Devon’s voice filled the silence, calm, calculated… and damning.
“You see?” Alejandro pressed, stepping closer, watching my reaction more than the screen. “He admitted it, Stella. He admitted everything.”
The video ended, but I didn’t move. For a moment, the world felt suspended—like I was standing at the edge of something irreversible.
“Are you finally convinced?” Alex continued, urgency creeping back into his voice. “Will you finally just divorce Devon? Stella, we can leave this place. Go back to Colombia—or anywhere. We can live peacefully again. Just forget about all of this… forget about your revenge.”
