Matt found Emma waiting for him, wearing nothing but her panties. “Where were you?” She asked him while he took off his tie. “In the backyard.” She walked to him and then played with his belt. “I missed you.” She kissed him. “I’m exhausted. I’ll take a quick shower then sleep.” He put her hands away, and then headed to the bathroom.
“Damn it.” She whispered.
“Can I come in?” Olivia asked. “Yes.” She got in Mrs. Garcia’s room. “There’s something you should definitely know about.” She nodded while applying some perfume on her neck. “Matt…I saw him last night coming out of the maid’s room.”
“Stella?” She guessed and Olivia’s eyes widened. “How do you know?” Mrs. Garcia walked to her, grabbing her from her eyes. “I noticed the way he looks at her all the time, but keep it as a secret. Emma shouldn’t know about this.”
Few days later,
Stella was sitting in the kitchen when her cell buzzed, Matt texted her.
Prepare yourself, princess. I’ll take you somewhere tonight.
She smiled before springing to her room. “She always smiles at her phone. I think she is secretly dating Mr. Matt.” A maid whispered to the others. “If I ever hear you say that again, I’ll tell Mrs. Garcia.” Olivia warned her.
Stella texted him back after she finished preparing herself. He took few seconds to reply back.
Leave the house through the backyard. I’m waiting for you inside the car.
They arrived at their destination. “A cabin in the words?” Stella rushed outside the car. “That’s a dream house.” She threw her arms in the air when suddenly it started snowing. “Let’s get in.” He smiled, pulling her inside. He directly started the fire inside the fireplace, while Stella roamed around the place.
“Do you like it?” He moved closer to her, as she took off her coat. “I love it.”
They both sat on the carpet, staring at the fire. “Look at this burning fire?” He asked while hugging her from behind. “Hm.” She traced imaginary lines on his arm. “I have a burning fire inside me too. It is caused by you.” He continued. She turned her face around to meet his eyes. “My heart burns with desire for your love.”
She cupped his face with her hand, he then responded to it by leaning down to her lips. They enjoyed feeling their lips touching into one another, before going for a soft, yet sensual kiss.
He made her lie on the carpet; hovering over her, and then giving her one small kiss. He pulled away for an instant; “I love you.” Then he devoured her pink soft lips. “I love you too.” She whispered between their kiss, earning a smirk from him.”
He pulled away looking at her beautiful face. “Am I going hard on you?” He seemed concerned. “Is that the best you can do?” she challenged. He smirked before connecting his lips with hers once again.
After a couple of minutes, they finally pulled apart gasping for air. It seemed as if they were exchanging their breaths. “Are you ready?” He looked at her intense eyes. Few seconds later, she nodded.
Next morning,
Stella woke up as soon as she felt Matt moving next to her. He moved his head to her level and kissed her delicate lips. Their eyes were still closed as they went for the lazy morning kiss. “Good morning.” She mumbled half-incoherently.
They were cut by Matt’s phone vibration. “Fuck whoever is calling.” She chuckled at him. “It’s my best friend John.” He hung up. “It’s about work. I’ll call him once I take you back home.”
“The two of us didn’t sleep at home last night. They may doubt about something?” He smiled at her as he put her hair away from her face. “I don’t care as long as you are in my arms.” He reassured her before pecking her lips.
“I filmed them as they were kissing on the floor.” Sam informed all the maids. “Why did you follow them?” Mia yelled at Sam. “I knew there is something between these 2. I wonder how Mrs. Garcia and Mrs. Emma will react to that.”
“Good morning.” Stella entered the kitchen. They were all looking at her as if she committed a crime. “What’s going on?” She asked. “Where have you been, Stella?” one of them asked. “At my friend’s house. Why?” They all burst into laughter, except for Mia. “Even Mr. Matt probably spent the night at a friend’s house.”
Mia dragged her to her room. “Listen.” She closed the door and grabbed Stella’s hands. “All the maids know what happened last night in the wooden house.” She gasped as she sat on the bed. “How come?” She asked in disbelief. “Sam followed you. He even filmed you.”
“That fucking jerk.” Mia grabbed her arm to stop her from leaving the room. “Think wise before going mad. They can tell everything to his wife or his mother. You better inform Matt; he knows better what to do.”

“I took her to the cabin last night.” Matt smirked when he remembered what happened between them. “Don’t tell me you-” John sat near Matt’s desk. “Yes, we did.” He interrupted him.
His phone buzzed on the desk. “She sent me a message.” His smile faded away once he read the whole text. “Matt!” John felt like something bad was going. “Sam, The car driver. He followed us last night and recorded a video of us kissing.”
“You are surely going to ruin your life man.” John roared. “I’ll try to find a solution. I want to continue my life with Stella. I truly love her, dude.” He admitted. “I don’t know what to say. Anyway, what will you do now?”
“I’ll talk to him once I get home.” He said while organizing the files on his desk. “What if he tells them before you get there?” He theorized. “That’s the last shit I give a damn about. All I care about is having Stella around me.” He answered. “This girl turned you as those teens who believe in love.” He joked. “You didn’t meet her to judge me this way.” He chuckled. “She is not only attractive from the outside, but also from the inside. I never felt such feelings with anyone else but her.”
“I’m really looking forward to meet her.” The tall guy said. “You will see her soon, I promise.”
As soon as Matt got home, he sprang towards the kitchen where all the maids gather all day long. They all stood up when they saw him, except for Stella. They gave her a ‘aren’t you going to stand up?’ look, earning a quick smirk from Matt. She stood up, trying her best not to smile. “Where is Sam?” He asked.
Suddenly, he walked inside the kitchen. “I’m here, sir.” Stella bit her nails when Matt dragged him from his shoulder. They headed to the backyard.
“I can beat you to death, you know? How dare you follow us? Talk!” He screamed. “If you fire me, I’ll tell them everything.” He threatened him, making Matt bursting into laughter. “Who are you to threaten me? You probably never saw me mad, huh?” He placed his hand on his shoulder. “I don’t care if you tell them. However, I won’t hesitate to break your teeth.” He pushed him to the ground and walked off.
He got inside his room where Emma was waiting for him. “You didn’t tell me you will sleep elsewhere last night. Your phone was out of reach. Where have you been Matt?” She approached him, but he kept avoiding eye contact with her. “I spent the night with John in the cabin. You know, it’s an unreachable zone.” He lied. She started unbuttoning his shirt, but he seemed unaffected by her flirting. “It’s been so long since we-” He walked away far from her. “I’m not in the mood for that, Emma.”
“Why are you avoiding me, baby? You changed a lot lately. Is there something I should know?” She moved closer to him again, grabbing his hand. “Emma!” He groaned. “You love another woman. Don’t you?” She asked in a soft tone. He chose to avoid replying to her by walking to the bathroom. “You always run away.” She yelled her lungs out.
Few weeks later,
The maids served the breakfast on the table. “Where is my morning juice?” Matt protested. “I’ll bring it to you right away, sir.” Stella said, drawing a smile on his face after rushing to the kitchen. “She’s not doing her job properly. Why don’t you fire her just as you did the previous one?” Emma bragged. “Emma! We are having breakfast.” Mrs. Garcia uttered. “It’s not the right time to talk about this.” She continued, looking at the maids. “I’m sorry.”
Stella moved closer to Matt’s side. She started serving the juice when suddenly she felt like throwing up. She posed the juice mug, pressing onto her mouth; then rushing to the bathroom. “Stella!” He yelled making everyone around him confused. He adjusted himself after Mia ran behind Stella.
“She is probably pregnant.” A maid whispered to the other one’s ear.
“Stella, let me help you.” Mia pulled her hair into a ponytail at her back. “I’m okay now.” She said in a quiet tired voice. “Why did I have nauseous feelings?” She continued while watching her face. “Is it the first time you have morning sickness?” Mia asked and she just answered with a nod. “I’m afraid you are…pregnant.” She predicted. “O-M-G! What am I going to do now?” She cried. “First, wipe your tears. Second, you need to buy a pregnancy test.”
Stella faltered to her room. She lay on bed, curling her body in a ball. “Should I tell him?” She thought as she wiped her tears. “Mia is right. I’ll take a pregnancy test first.”
She was snapped out of her thoughts by the sound of her buzzing.
Are you fine, babygirl? I’m so worried about you.
Another tear escaped her eye as she read Matt’s message. She sat up to text him back.
I’m better now. See you later <3
“I’ll buy that damn pregnancy test.” She changed her outfit and headed to the front door. Her eyes popped out once she came face to face with a familiar face. “Leila!” She murmured. “You! What are you doing here?” She asked her, as surprised as Stella.“Please, don’t tell them.” She begged her. However, Leila ignored her and walked past her. Stella ran back to her room to call Matt. her hands was shaking as she put her phone near her ear. “Matt, Leila is here. She saw me and I’m afraid she tells your mother the truth.” She paced back a
Matt took Stella’s phone. He then packed her clothes inside a backpack and headed outside her room. Emma came face to face with him with a weird grin on her face. “You chose to go, huh?” She noticed the backpack in his hand. “Do you think you are going to have a happy life with her?” She continued.“Be careful, Matt.” His mother shouted. She was uncertain whether she should tell him about the ‘plan’ or not. “Get off my way.” He pushed Emma’s shoulder as he walked past her.
“How is he?” Stella and John asked the doctor as he left Matt’s room. “He is getting better. Soon, he will gain his consciousness.” He informed them with a comforting smile. “Can I see him now?” She asked him. All she wanted at that time was holding his hand. “Yes, sure.” She held her tears back as she entered the room. Her tears finally escaped from her eyes when she grabbed his hand and placed it on her heart. “We are waiting for you, my hero.” She then travelled his hand down to her belly. “When are we going to pick a name for our baby?
Her popping eyes remained fixed on the phone as she tried to process what she just heard. “What’s going on?” Matt asked her as he looked back and forth at her and then at the road.“H-he told me that he is in p-pain.”She stuttered before finally looking back at him. “We have to see him.” He suggested. “I’m exhausted baby, let’s go home first.” She threw her hair back as she closed her eyes. “Why is he acting like that? I don’t want to meet his weird gazes for now.” She wondered why Jo
The ride home was pretty silent. “How did you meet each other?” Stella finally broke the awkward atmosphere. She looked at Sara who was sitting near her in the backseat. “We have been chatting online for a period of time and then we started developing feelings for each other.” Whenever she pronounced a word, Sara would look at John as if she was waiting for him to help her finish the sentence. “Oh, that’s so lovely.” She reacted with a smile. &
Matt rushed inside the hospital, running his fingers through his hair. He noticed John sitting on a chair looking down at his phone. “Where’s she?” Matt yelled. “She’s inside. I was waiting for the doctor to come out. Here she is.” He pointed at the doctor who was walking towards them.“Who’s her partner?” the doctor said. They both looked at each other before he quickly spoke. “It is me. How is she? She is pregnant. Is the baby alright?” He asked breathlessly.
“Alright, I’ll be there soon.” Matt hung up and looked at Stella. “Babygirl, don’t be stubborn and do as I tell you. Once you get home with John, lock all the doors and windows. The bodyguard will also protect the house, you will be safe there.” He pressed his forehead against hers.“I’m really scared. I don’t want you to go…by yourself.” He grabbed her cheeks as he gave her a weak smile. “I’ll be fine, I promise. We will just have a deal.” He comforted her.
“Why did you let him go?” Emma threw the glass of wine against the wall. “What if they change the country and we don’t find them again?” She asked. “Don’t worry, I’ll find them everywhere they go. Besides, he can’t leave his mother here.” He smirked as he left the room.Emma looked back at Mrs. Garcia; she gave her a dirty look before throwing her hands at her. “G-get off me, E-emma.” She struggled to push her away. “Why Matt never loved me? It’s your fault.” She yelled. “You are crazy. I should’ve never chosen you as a wife for my son.”
“Remember when I first saw you.” John’s mouth twisted. “You sat beside the gas fireplace while I studied your perfect features. At that time, I couldn’t blame Matt for cheating on his wife.” He sighed, looking at Stella’s hand as he traced imaginary circles across them. “I ended up falling in love with you and I made you cheat on him in return. I know I’m such a coward, but what else could I have done to control my feelings for you?”Stella stared at him in silence, before he left the swimming pool and sat beside her. “I know you have nothing to say, Stella. Believe me, you will have many things to talk about after I earn your heart.”
Nancy walked inside the living room with a cup of tea. “Here!” She handed it to Matt. “I’m not in the mood to drink anything.” Matt said, not moving his eyes from the laptop. “The tea will calm your nerves and help you focus more…You didn’t eat anything at all. Please Matt, drink this.” Nancy insisted and he finally looked up at her, taking the cup in his hands. “So, did you find something interesting?” Nancy averted her gaze towards the laptop’s screen.
The stars were nonexistent in that cloudy night which rolled in covering the last of the twilight sky. Moments later, the grey clouds blanketed the sky, hiding the full moon which fought to shine through them. “It’s been hours since we are looking for them. Let’s go back tomorrow, Matt.” Nancy raised her head to the dark sky.“I should find her, Nancy. I can’t sleep, knowing she is somewhere in the middle of the ocean.” Irritated, Matt slammed his hand against the closest surface. “Matt.” Nancy approached, staring at him with a dismayed look on her face. “I’m as worried as you are, but now the chances to find them are low. Look at around you.” She pointed at the dark ocean.
“Fuck this!” Matt cursed. “He is forcing her to talk.” He shoved the phone back in his pocket. He walked back and forth, starting to lose his patience. The security agent ran back to Matt and Nancy. “Here you go. You take this yacht.” He led them, as the rain got heavier. “I’ll never let go of her. Never ever!” Nancy heard Matt repeating to himself. She placed her hand on his arm, giving him a warm smile. “You will have her between your hands soon.”
The maid swung the door open. “Is mom home?” Nancy asked as she rushed inside with Ian. “In the living room, miss.”Ian burst into tears when he saw his grandparents. He jumped into Addison’s arms, sobbing against her chest. “Why are you crying, little man?”Addison stroked his hair, before she looked up at Nancy.“John kidnapped Stella.” Nancy informed. “My dear daughter.&rd
Stella walked up to Matt. She rolled his wheeling chair to her direction and sat on his desk. He smirked, watching her body moves which never knew the meaning of hesitation. “Call her to your office!” She ordered. Above all, her soft voice added more attraction to her dangerous looks.“Okay, boss.” Matt grabbed the phone, placing one hand on Stella’s bare thigh. “Diana! Call Pamela to my office.” He put the phone back to its place, throwing his back against the will and winking at his wife with a serious face.Seconds later, Pamela appeared in the room with her usual high heels.
Ian held his parents hands to both sides as they walked off the hospital. “Who is that woman who died, daddy?” Ian asked. Meanwhile, John came out behind them, shoving his hands inside his pockets. Matt kneeled down, cupping his son’s cheeks. “Forget about her, Ian. It’s over now.” Ian hugged him tight. “You will come with us, right?” Ian mumbled against Matt’s chest. Matt looked up at Stella as he got up. The latter’s mouth curved up into a smile. “Let’s go home, little man.” Matt pushed Ian inside the car. He then turned around, meeting Jo
Stella’s phone rung, while John was driving his way towards Stella. He picked up, rolling his eyes. “What do you want from Stella at this late hour?” John roared. “I’m calling her to tell her that Nancy is living tonight. I’m at the airport and I couldn’t hold her back.” Leo informed. “I’m quite busy for Nancy’s shit. Stella and Ian got kidnapped.” John raged. “Wait, what? I-” John hung up before Leo finished his sentence.“Damn!” Leo cursed. He then ran after Nancy until he caught her up. “Nancy!” He yelled. &ld
Matt and Stella stared at John in silence. The latter approached them with his glaring eyes fixed on the girl he loved. “What about the beautiful time we had together?” John asked, tightening his fists.“That was a mistake, John. Stella had always been mine and no one can stand against our love.” Matt said, holding his chin up. Meanwhile, Stella glanced at John with watery eyes.“It’s my fault that all the people who love me are in pain.” Stella pressed her hand against her chest. “John, Nancy and Matt. My mistakes keep hurting you.” Stella averted her gaze to Matt.
