Stella 

I paced the tarmac anxiously awaiting Lawrence's return.

Despite the jet vanishing hours ago, my nerves still thrummed with adrenaline's electric high.

So much chaotic emotion churned in the aftermath - was justice truly served banishing my abusers halfway across the world?

"They are finally gone."

The distant beat of helicopter blades jarred me from restless thoughts. I peered desperately seeking first glimpse. Lawrence always know what right, I assured my spinning doubts. 

Finally the sleek chopper crest the horizon, angling toward the private airstrip. My heart leapt as Lawrence stepped down while the rotors idled, his tall form unmistakable. I flew into his waiting embrace, relief crashing over me.

"There now, safe and done little bird." His words rumbled comfort, stroking my hair. I burrowed closer, tension slowly r

    Uneasy TruceLawrence"My hero!" Stella exclaimed, embracing me tightly. "Banishing my tormenters so decisively!"I stroked her hair, privately warmed beyond words at her admiration. "You need fear nothing from that quarter again, little bird." She tipped her face up, eyes liquid bright with emotion. "My faith never wavered in your power to protect me. Or willingness to punish enemies without mercy." Stella bit her lip pensively. "Perhaps I even misjudged James unfairly comparing to your steadfast strength."I tensed involuntarily. The aspirant chef appeared harmless enough by her account. Yet subtle unease slithered recalling his opportune timing appealing vulnerable Stella post-accident.Coincidence seemed unlikely given the revelation of her stepfather's extensive human trafficking network.Stella continued innocently. "He came offering comfort when I had none those lonely days. Hardly the calculated actions you ascribed..." My jaw tightened. "Wolves recognize opportunist jacka

    Dinner TogetherStella"James seems nice doesn't he Fluffy? I wonder why Lawrence gets so tense around him though," I murmured.My devoted little feline companion purred in my lap as I scratched underneath her chin, not particularly invested in the family drama of rich people.A few moments later, the penthouse elevator dinged, announcing Lawrence's arrival with James in tow. Speak of the devil, it seems big brother extends his visit!James' grin seemed etched permanently in place. "Well if it isn't the lady of the hour! Don't look now Lawrence but I think an angel smiled down upon your grim abode for once."I flushed slightly at the dramatic compliment as James clasped my hands warmly in greeting.He certainly enjoyed flamboyant flair unlike his uptight brother. Lawrence simply scooped up little Fl

    Lawrence's Jealousy Lawrence "Remove him at once before trouble stirs." My clipped instructions to Cyrus brooked no argument. I hung up forcefully, feeling irritation crawl beneath my skin. The nerve of that impudent James playing innocent Stella with spirits until all decorum vanished! Her giggles and rosy complexion throughout dinner betrayed overindulgence on my brother's shamelessly encouraging watch. I should never have allowed proximity once wine flowed free between them. Now dainty Stella slumped groggily against the plush leather interior while the chauffeur us homeward. Iwa studied her uncoordinated attempts to hum some playful jazz tune, twin spots of colour standing out brightly on pale cheeks. She was unused to heady vintages I realised too late. "There now, almost home little bird." I smoothed flyaway curls out of her squinting eyes as she blinked up at me clearly. "Why s'glum Mr. Broody Wolf?" She grinned crooked, jabbing one finger vaguely in my direction. "

    Alone & Memories Stella "Ugh my head pounds like a bass drum, Fluffy..." I squinted against the morning sunlight spearing into my eyes. My pet feline simply purred obliviously, nestled on the pillow as I struggled to sit up. Fragments of last night flashed disjointed through my aching skull. Dinner's free flowing wine...James' infectious laughter and Lawrence's brooding tension thickening by the glass...stumbling home supported under Lawrence's thunderous expression. I groaned softly, cradling my head gingerly. No doubt I acted the silly fool under intoxication's influence. And likely shameless flirt if fuzzy recollection proved accurate. Heat climbed my cheeks remembering possible indiscretions. Gathering tattered dignity about my robe, I ventured unsteadily out seeking Lawrence. But the penthouse echoed cavernous in his absence.&

    Shelter Stella "Stella!" Lawrence's sharp voice pierced the fog filled the room. His large hands grasped my shoulders firmly, radiating strength. "What's wrong with you?" He asked I sagged into that solid grip, the familiar scent of cedar and sandalwood wrapping comfort close. "Why didn't you call for me right away?" Worry carved new lines across his forehead. I reached up weakly to smooth them but Lawrence captured my hand instead, pressing a fervent kiss to each knuckle. "I'm sorry," I rasped, shame heating my cheeks. "The memories attack me so suddenly...I tried pushing through alone rather than being a burden." Lawrence's thunderous expression stilled any further self recrimination. "You are never a burden, my heart, especially when are in need." His voice dropped gruffly. "I should have

    Bitter Truth Lawrence "It's trauma manifesting physically through unrelenting stress and night terrors. Her psyche struggles reconciling past and present so symptoms express that chaotic battle violently." Dr. Elias eyed me sternly, correctly interpreting my clenched jaw as reluctance accepting prognosis rather than poor bedside manner lacking appropriate sympathy for a patient's suffering. As though I felt nothing gutting out Stella's anguish firsthand! Wretched helplessness eroded legendary control facing such savage cruelty forged by human monsters and accidental tragedy alike leaving smoldering wreckage no amount wealth or power now repaired. "Her body and mind still screamed endless paying unbearable costs simply enduring hells I glimpsed merely edge of before sanity itself ripped asunder." He muttered. "So yes, professional detachment served copiously mixing business with boiling emotions unproductive getting the job done here." He added. I swallowed blistering retor

    Building BridgesStella "Must you two butt heads at every turn?" I chided Lawrence and James lightly even as relief swelled seeing both here attending my convalescence after the lightheaded spell. Their answering stares flashed brief guilt like quarreling schoolboys caught bickering again by the stern headmaster. I hid smile behind polite cough - for hardened powerful men posturing worlds apart, a vulnerable woman's gentle opinion yet steered their prideful courses more than either cared admit. But I tread carefully that authority not become petulant demand stoking more discord. "Oh I won't swoon away just hearing civil disagreement between factions." I widened eyes playfully invoking frail feminine vapors. "But do go lightly where temper frays - this household survives no bloodshed marring fine carpets!"I hoped teasing their paternal protectiveness might smooth ruffled masculine pride. But Lawrence yet watched his prodigal brother wary as a distrustful mastiff despite masking i

    The Unveiling Threat & The Unlikely AllianceLawrenceSomething sinister lurked in the shadows - I felt it in my bones. Stella's "accidents" came too frequently of late to be dismissed as chance. My jaw clenched imagining her lovely face marred by the motorcycle "mishap" last week. No, some hidden force orchestrated these attacks. I swore to unmask the threat and crush it, no matter how powerful. I dispatched more guardians to watch Stella discreetly, trusting few outside our pack now. Their reports painted an unsettling picture - "coincidental" run-ins with shady strangers near her favorite cafe, "maintenance" crews with questionable access to her building's wiring and pipes. Something foul festered behind the scenes, reaching tentacles into my company and properties even. A rat hid amongst us, answering to powers shrouded still.Bits and pieces hinted at one name whispered fearfully in underworld circles - Constantine. My hackles rose at memories from father's war stories - the b

You heard what the doctor said?.” I asked, still holding a high grudge against him.He was not pleased by my words.“stella, it isn't your fault anything happened and it obviously isn't mine either, I understand how fucking worked up you are, I know it's a lot to take in at th

    LAWRENCE.“Just relax, okay, don't get all worked up for no reason, Stella, you are fine, I've had the doctor run some tests, everything Showed up well so would you please stop whatever bickering you have all planned out already?.” I knew I was quick to speak, at least at the moment but still passing out twice on me at the moment only registered me as an irresponsible person..I could not let that happen, I needed to start paying more attention to her state of health, we are married for fucks sake and I was just not getting why she kept keeping things from me.“really?, I'm fine? Nothing else?.” she asked, batted her eye at me in a questioning manner, I really had stopped understanding her after the whole issue of a miscarriage, I understood it was hard for her to have lost a baby but it fucked up her mental health a whole lot.“Yes, that is what the doctor's report says and I believe we both understand what it means, I do not run the test they did.” I answered, I saw the manner in wh

He shifted himself away from me and into the crowd a few minutes ago. I had tried searching for him but I could not bear it anymore.He excused himself with the little line that he knew what it was that he wanted, a whole lot other had little or nothing to do with me to be precise, it was business talks and he offered to have be taken along but it was certainly going to bore me to death and I decided the stay back , behind however thinking about the decision I made it had not seemed to be the smart
