When Love Comes Late Stella Novels & Stories

After I took another knife for him and lost another pregnancy, Leander Croft finally agreed to marry me. On the day of the wedding, the bridal car never arrived. I only received a phone call from kidnappers who demanded my life in exchange for his. His voice crackled through the line, broken and faint. "Mila, just live. Do not come for me..." A kidnapper cut him off in the next second. "Mila Carver, do you want him alive? Get the ransom ready, then jump off Seaview Bridge." I ran back to my room to gather the money. When I opened the safe, I found a thick stack of documents titled "The Mila Carver Atonement Plan." It turned out that seven years earlier, the first time Leander had been

I pulled the rod away, letting her son in pain for a moment before standing. “Start talking.” “I did it because I love you!” she blurted out, tears streaming down her face. “I’ve loved you for years, Kaiden. Ever since I became your personal maid.” I froze, disgust curling in my stomach. “Love?” I said, my voice dripping with disdain. “You call poisoning an innocent woman love?” Stella’s head hung low, her shoulders shaking. “You’ve never looked at me,” she whispered. “All these years, I’ve served you loyally, hoping you’d notice me. But then she came along, and you gave her everything. It wasn’t fair.”

"Go find Stella and tell her that I, as a senior, want to treat her to a meal. See when she's available to grace me with her presence." The implication was clear—Beatrice intended to personally handle the matter with Stella. Edmund silently mourned Stella in his heart for a few seconds. "Yes, Madam, I'll go right away." Leaving the Riveras' residence, Edmund drove to Stella's filming location and located her agent. Just as Stella finished her scene, upon hearing that Edmund had come, she felt particularly delighted. 'Lucas must be worried about my health, and he sent Edmund to check on me.' "I need to quickly touch up my makeup." Stella changed her clothes at the fastest speed possible and w

Jared’s secretary said through the phone. “She and Zach met by the sea, and they fell in love so quickly that they got married after just two months. After marriage, they gave birth to a daughter, whose nickname is Lou. The three of them have been living happily together since.” Jared listened while he flipped through the faxed information. He could not find any flaw in Stella’s resume, so he asked with a frown, “Did you manage to find Stella’s photos in the past?” His secretary answered, “It’s very strange, I couldn’t find them. Any information about her from more than five years ago has been wiped out, and I couldn’t find anyone who had crossed paths with her back then.”

He rolled his eyes before he turned around, ready to give some lecture on her tardiness— A lump caught in his throat, for Xavier cannot form a sentence with the sight that was in front of him right now. Stella smiled before she blushed as she turned to look at her choice of clothing for tonight. It was a short red dress that has short sleeves fitted to her figure nicely. She was smiling rather sheepishly, considering her choice of wardrobe, which was bold. “I am sorry I am late. I was having some trouble with the directions when there was a lot of people around the streets and I got confused and—“

Stella knocked softly on the door adjusting her clothes trying to make them look as skimpy as possible. She had lavished her body spray all over her body and it's smell was thick in the air. She sniffed continually "I smell so good." "Come right in" she heard him say. Stella walked into the office, she shut the door behind smiling at him. She had gone to see Mr Gabriel the family lawyer and friend just like he had asked her to earlier. "Stella my love, I have been expecting you, what took you so long to get here?" He asked standing to his feet with his hands spread apart.

Silver had gone tense in his arms too and all he wanted was for the damn call to end so he could reassure her. “Harsh as always, but no worries, it’s one of the reason why I fell in love with you. Always so prim and proper, so straight to point. A no nonsense man, firm and hard always!” Stella went on, talking as though she had not heard the ultimatum given to her for the call. Doing nothing to hide the suggestion that bathed her words. It was the thing about her, she could care less about anyone else, as long as she was getting her way, she was satisfied. That angered Rodriguez. “Stella you’ve got sixty seconds, to either spit it out or fuck off.” Rodriguez said, the venom coating his words

It needed Stella. I started turning up the heat at the office the very next morning. Stella arrived at 8:15 like always, wearing a navy blue blouse that clung to her heavy tits and a tight gray skirt that made her ass look like two perfect globes begging to be spanked. I called her into my office before she could even sit down. “Stella, close the door. We’re working late tonight on the Harrison account. No excuses.” She hesitated, biting her full lower lip. “Derek… Mr. Reynolds, I have plans.”

“How long have you been watching her?” “A few years.” Jesus Christ. “She fascinated me,” Stella admitted. “The way she rebuilt herself after eighteen. The way she shut emotions down completely just to survive.” My stomach twisted uncomfortably. Because the terrifying part? Stella genuinely sounded like she admired Lex. Maybe even loved her in her own broken way. “You orchestrated this entire thing because you were curious?” I asked in disbelief. “No.” For the first time since entering the office, Stella actually looked serious. “I did it because I wanted to see if somebody like Alexandra Fisher Hale could actually fall in love.”

I heard a gunshot, and the man fell right next to me as blood slowly spread across his chest. Stefan was standing at the door, placing his gun back into its holster. His expression was cold when he took off his coat and flung it at me. "Places like these are dirty." It was only later that I found out he had busted the casino, and that I had been taken as a trophy for his victory. Stefan told me that he fell in love with me at first sight because of my eyes. I believed him and thanked God for blessing me with my eyes. However, I later realized they were also a curse because I had to watch him turn away from me, time after time, through them.
